Graham Potter's Chelsea can't even compete against a Man City without star players, and fans are fed up

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City sent Chelsea crashing to a fifth defeat in seven games and out of the FA Cup as goals from Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden sealed an easy 4-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Chelsea failed to reach the FA Cup fourth round for the first time in 25 seasons. The third-round defeat means Chelsea's only hope of silverware this season is in the Champions League -- they face Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 -- but on this evidence, Chelsea won't be lifting the European Cup in Istanbul in June.
