Graham Potter concerns emerge just one month into his reign as Chelsea boss

The new Chelsea manager has impressed at Stamford Bridge so far but has a tendency to tweak his tactics too often for one former Premier League midfielder’s liking

Graham Potter has only been in the Chelsea hot seat for just over a month but has already made a habit of doing something that could upset the Blues’ biggest names according to Danny Murphy.

The former Brighton boss has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life at Stamford Bridge and oversaw another victory in their most recent outing away at Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League. Goals from Matteo Kovacic and Kai Havertz were enough to secure Chelsea’s status as group winners.

Over the course of his reign on the south coast, Potter would often name heavily-rotated line-ups and tweak his formation constantly. Brighton would rarely name an unchanged starting eleven while the 47-year-old was in charge.

That trend has continued in west London, with Potter giving 19 different players a start during his time at Chelsea so far. He has also used six different formations and has not been afraid to make some huge in-game tweaks, such as taking off Marc Cucurella just 36 minutes into Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United and replacing him with central midfielder Kovacic.
