CHELSEA players came up with a pair of nicknames for beleaguered boss Graham Potter after they were confused by his tactics.
That's according to The Athletic, who say the sacked Blues boss was mocked behind his back by disgruntled stars.
It is reported a number of Chelsea players were calling the former Brighton manager “Harry” and “Hogwarts”, after his wizarding namesake.
The 47-year-old manager was said to have left out Trevoh Chalonah for Saturday’s defeat against Aston Villa, despite having lengthy discussions with the defender about his role in the game.
There was also reportedly bemusement around the handling of Hakim Ziyech.
