Match of the Day commentators concurs that the Wolves' excellent victory will help the team in the long run thanks to Graham Potter's management of the Blues stars.
Graham Potter's team quickly made sure there was no panic despite the uncertainty surrounding the starting lineup chosen by Chelsea to face the Wolves.
Potter adopted a fourth different system in a row after making seven changes to the team that defeated AC Milan 3-0 midweek, showcasing his managerial abilities by using players in a way that had previously failed toward the end of Thomas Tuchel's reign.
Mason Mount, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were the only outfielders left from Wednesday night's convincing victory. However, this was one of the Blues' greatest performances thus far this season. Chelsea supporters were terrified of being overwhelmed by a worrisome-looking Wolves attack because Jorginho was holding down the fort and Cesar Azpilicueta had switched to a traditional full-back position.
However, Chelsea quickly snuffed out their opponents in the beginning and never let the managerless guests settle. It was a boost to confidence and precisely the kind of victory required before a midweek trip to San Siro. In addition, Potter made a statement by excluding Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling, two of the greatest players against the Italian champions, along with Reece James, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Thiago.
Only James entered the game as Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, and Armando Broja's goals gave Chelsea their third straight league victory. The club's environment has altered as a result of their great start, which has temporarily lifted them out of the gloom. Ian Wright thinks that Potter is acting appropriately to impress his team.
Wright remarked, "Once the lads see that you're putting on fantastic practices, it's interesting," during an appearance on Match of the Day. The only issue I can identify is Potter's transition to a different playing level. He is aware that he cannot select all of them, but that it will take all of them to perform at the level they are in the Premier League, Champions League, and everywhere else.
"They simply want to see that he is treating them fairly. decent coaching. He has earned the right to go and be there. To see an English manager makes me very thrilled."
Aside from his tactical acumen, the former Brighton manager's finest quality may be his communication and ability to express ideas clearly. Although there is no such thing as right or wrong, Thomas Tuchel's incessant berating and micromanaging of situations on the field stands in stark contrast to his calm manner on the touchline.
The club still has 10 games left to play before the winter World Cup break under Potter, but Micah Richards believes that a dominant victory over Wolves will help the team tremendously. "Chelsea has a fantastic team, don't they? Even without Aubameyang and Sterling, the attackers performed admirably today. Havertz, Mount, Pulisic, and Gallagher. We have a 4-2-3-1 formation, but it is a hybrid, as we saw at Brighton, and it can switch to a three.
Mount's partnership He has not had a particularly strong season to date, but today I thought he played pretty well. Pulisic has been in and out of the team and appeared in a number of interviews where he expressed his unhappiness but took the chance. Wolves didn't know how to handle him for his goal. It's a charming dink. Chelsea were outstanding in every way.
"Azpilicueta appeared at ease on the right side and moved forward whenever possible. They also got runners into the box. Although Chelsea and the new number nine have been discussed, today's performance demonstrated that the fluid system genuinely allows them to function.
