Graham Potter demonstrated early signs of tactical flexibility against RB Salzburg. The former Brighton manager was tasked with getting a better tune from his new Chelsea players and went about things similarly, yet still differently, to Thomas Tuchel.
Although it is far too soon to judge or even predict what Potter may envision Chelsea to be or to become, his use of key players showed signs of balance and change that was missing in the final weeks of Tuchel's reign.
A quicker pace of football was expected, and in parts, that was evident as Chelsea moved through the gears but fell to similar final third issues once more.
