Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to the Wolves on Saturday showed that they still have a lot of issues to fix after firing coach Graham Potter.

With Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix, Kai Havertz once again struggled up front. Still, players like Enzo Fernandez, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Wesley Fofana put in solid efforts to keep things from worsening.
