Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi believes Chelsea’s players must take some responsibility for the sacking of Graham Potter and feels too much focus is placed on the influence of managers.

Potter left Albion to take over at Stamford Bridge on a five-year contract in September but was sacked on Sunday following seven wins from 22 Premier League games.
