Chelsea defender Thiago Silva says he cannot yet judge the manager he is working under.

Blues boss Graham Potter is under pressure at the club, with Chelsea languishing in mid-table at present.

However, Silva says it would be unfair to compare Potter against some of his former bosses in this moment.

He told Parimatch : "Not enough time has passed to comment on something so important. I don't like to make comparisons of people, of styles, of work. Everyone has their own way of doing things. However, in the short time I've had with Potter, I can see he is a great person, a great human being.

"On the pitch, he's a coach that shows you what you have to do and what you've been doing wrong.

“Off the pitch, he's an amazing human being which I think, when managing a football team, can actually be more important than being a coach. So he has these two aspects to him that I think are very important for someone in his position."
