Graham Potter told what formation Chelsea should use against Wolves after AC Milan experiement

Tactical chameleon, flexibility overload, he'll get the players to click, statement win early doors. It's the Graham Potter show at Chelsea but it's got a backdrop of Thomas Tuchel, how couldn't it?

The German's impact at Stamford Bridge was simply too big for things to change drastically. The movement away from Tuchel almost mirrors Brighton's own situation once Potter left. Apart from the small matter of Potter being poached by billionaire owners at one club and Tuchel being sacked by billionaire owners, Roberto De Zerbi's desire to adapt the approach is exactly what is expected at Stamford Bridge.

Potter has the foundations of a brilliant team. There's experience, there's youth, there's resources and money, there's Reece James, there's money. It shouldn't take a good manager long to get the best out of the group. Tuchel showed that there were ways of doing it and that the players Frank Lampard was using weren't just bad.
