Although it was all about - and always going to be about - Graham Potter's debut, the spectre of Thomas Tuchel floated around Stamford Bridge last night, not least midway through the first half of Chelsea's tepid 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg, when supporters stood and sang a tribute to their former manager, axed a week earlier.

“We've got super Tommy Tuchel,” they sang in the 21st minute, to mark the year the German led Chelsea to Champions League victory less than six months after replacing Frank Lampard.
