Graham Potter accepted his Chelsea side 'took a step back' after they were beaten at home by Southampton but insisted that his management is not the problem.
The Blues went down 1-0 against the Premier League's bottom side to stretch their winless run in the league to four matches, showing little sign of building on Wednesday's encouraging Champions League display against Borussia Dortmund.
Potter's side struggled to create clear chances against Saints as their troubles in front of goal continued, with some supporters booing the team off at the end of an eighth game in 13 in which they had failed to score.
