Chelsea boss Graham Potter says criticism has been "fair" after victory over Leeds.
The win eases pressure on the Blues manager.
He said, It's a nice three points and an important three points. I think it's good for confidence and morale. The boys have been suffering because they care they really do and our supporters have been suffering as well. It's been a tough period for us so the win gives us a chance to recover and prepare for a massive game on Tuesday night. That is what we have to focus on.
As I said in the press conference [yesterday] it needs to manifest itself in results and wins. Talk is cheap. I firmly believe in the players and the team but I also acknowledge that the results haven't been good enough and that is my responsibility. So any criticism is absolutely fair and warranted. We have to take it, try to improve, and win. That is the job."
