CHELSEA legend John Terry has warned Graham Potter that results on the pitch must improve.
The Blues endured a torrid start to the season prior to Potter’s appointment as Thomas Tuchel’s successor, although the former Brighton chief has failed to stop the rot.

Potter’s troops will be back in action Wednesday, travelling to the Westfalenstadion to take on Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
