Reece James insists Graham Potter's abilities are 'certainly unquestionable' following Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Tottenham on Sunday.
Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis
Chelsea's poor form continued as second-half goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane sealed victory for Spurs.
This result leaves Chelsea without a win in the last six matches and is their third loss in a row in all competitions.
Pressure will also weigh on Potter's position at Stamford Bridge, but James insists the former Brighton boss is the right man to improve Chelsea's situation.
"Nothing happens overnight," James told beIN Sport after Chelsea's loss to Spurs. “Not only will we wake up tomorrow and get out of the way we are, it will take weeks and months to get where we need to be.
"But we're all on the same page, we stick together and that's a big positive."
When asked if Potter was as good as the former Chelsea managers he played with, James replied:
'Yes, of course.
"Everybody saw what a good coach he was. It showed when he was at Brighton and they were in the top four.
“His ability is certainly not in doubt. "He's in a similar position to us players - we're the players on the pitch - so the more he's attached the more the players play, the more we're together.
"I think it's very difficult to say, it's not that we didn't try, we gave our best but it's just that the result is not what we wanted at the moment.
"It's not that the players are sacking him, or anything like that, we're working hard, it's just that the results aren't coming to us at the moment."
