Graham Potter's tactical methods at Brighton didn't go down well with a new World Cup winner, but both parties benefited from the resultant change. The Chelsea manager has already shown his own style at Stamford Bridge with positional changes but saw results slip before the World Cup break.
With the Blues back in action next week, Potter's methods will be under the microscope once more, but the proof is in the pudding as far as he is concerned after one of his Seagull's prodigies went on to win the biggest tournament in football.
Playing in a World Cup final on its own was a major story for Alexis Mac Allister, but picking up an assist and receiving glowing praise from across the board is another thing. He was picked out to be the next man to wear the famous No10 shirt too.
