Ex-Chelsea boss Hoddle: Potter doesn't know his best XI

Former Chelsea boss Glenn Hoddle is convinced Graham Potter's XI is in flux.

Hoddle believes Potter still has some problems to solve to get the best out of his team, with Thiago Silva, who signed on a free transfer in 2020, the only player that has to be on the teamsheet.

"They're not quite there. There's something missing there and it's difficult for Graham Potter to pick his best team, he doesn't know his best team by any means," Hoddle told Premier League Productions.

"Even going into the transfer window he was still trying to find his system and balance in all departments. I think Thiago Silva is a shoo-in, he's a must, but everyone else, it's a mish-mash.

"There's a lot of work to do. He's got some lovely material to make a beautiful suit but it's going to take more time with so many new players."
