New Chelsea boss Graham Potter was praised at Brighton for being an innovative coach. During his time in Sussex, Potter devised tactical masterplans to get the better of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Antonio Conte in one-off games.
Potter is tactically flexible and often thought outside the box when it came to tactics at Brighton. That has been evident so far this season, with the 47-year-old often playing attacking midfielder Leandro Trossard at left wing-back, and No.10 Alexis Mac Allister in a double pivot in midfield.
He also tried towering defender Dan Burn in an unfamiliar position on a number of occasions. The 30-year-old was a favourite with Potter at Brighton, racking up 81 appearances under him. The now Newcastle defender had only ever played in the middle of a back four until Potter used him in a variety of roles.
