THIAGO SILVA’S wife has ‘liked’ a tweet blasting Graham Potter as a “deadbeat coach”.
The Blues boss is coming under increasing pressure over Chelsea’s underwhelming results which hit their lowest point on Saturday with defeat against managerless Southampton.
Boos reigned down on Stamford Bridge at full-time after James Ward-Prowse’s fantastic first-half free-kick gave bottom of the table Saints an unlikely away win.
While some fans continue to argue Potter needs more time, others have began taking aim at the former Brighton boss.
And Belle Silva has hit the like button on one of the more critical tweets that has been sent regarding the under-fire manager.
One fan asked her on Twitter: “Can you ask [Thiago] Silva to coach our club himself because we have a deadbeat tacticless coach who doesn’t know what he is doing.

“He doesn’t even understand that is Chelsea football club – he thinks he is still at Brighton.”
Belle has not been shy about giving her opinion previously regarding the club – during the both the good times and the bad.
She tweeted out the lyrics to Chelsea’s anthem “Blue is the colour” when it was announced that Silva had signed a contract extension.
Earlier this year she also took aim at Blues fans for booing following defeat against Man City.

It’s been a very difficult 2023 for the club with only a single win to show for 10 games in all competitions.
January also saw an unprecedented amount of money spent and players recruited with the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez bought in to reverse the club’s fortunes.
But the squad has yet to gel and a high-quality goalscorer is visibly missing.
With Potter’s job still reportedly safe, Chelsea have a trip to bitter rivals Tottenham up next week before a home game against Leeds and the return leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Dortmund.
