Thomas Tuchel admits things will feel a little surreal in the technical area at Goodison Park today when he comes face-to-face with the man he replaced at Chelsea.
But the Stamford Bridge boss knows that, either side of the 90-odd minutes at least, things will be amicable with ‘gentleman’ Frank Lampard, who showed nothing but class after Roman Abramovich showed him the door to usher in the German.
Asked if it would be a little surreal meeting Everton boss Lamps, Tuchel said: “A little, yes. I still don’t feel 100 per cent comfortable because I took over from him in the middle of the year. We had a quick chat then because he was a real gentleman and sent me a long message after I took over and I replied to him.
