It's fair to say Chelsea are still reeling from their 4-1 loss to Brighton on Saturday - an afternoon Graham Potter will want to forget sooner rather than later.
The Blues were humbled on Potter's first return to the Amex since leaving for Stamford Bridge at the beginning of September. Strikes from Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross - as well as two own goals - were enough to end Potter's unbeaten start at Chelsea.
The result leaves Chelsea in sixth in the Premier League, three points behind Newcastle in fourth with a game in hand. Their next game is against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Here are the latest headlines from Stamford Bridge.
Potter's "confusing" tactics
Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Potter left his players baffled by using "confusing" tactics on Saturday afternoon.
"Well, the wing-backs - we’ve seen they’ve used a variety of wing-backs this season and when you look at their bench they've got [Cesar] Azpilicueta and Ben Chilwell," Wright told Match of the Day. "But they started with [Christian] Pulisic and [Raheem] Sterling and I found that very confusing.
"And when you watch what they do, and when you look at the positions they were taking up, they weren’t really helping [Trevoh] Chalobah or [Marc] Cucurella or Thiago Silva. And what was happening was they [the centre-backs] were getting pulled all over the place."

Fellow pundit Martin Keown added: "Chelsea looked unrecognisable at the back. I think there were too many changes. It counts against you in this situation because you are trying to formulate partnerships and it’s always changing at the back.
"It was a different back three today. They are wing-backs that aren’t wing-backs. They played Raheem Sterling in a wing-back position today and I don’t think it suited in the way they played. Maybe Graham Potter was trying to be too clever."

De Zerbi explains tactics
Potter's successor at Brighton Roberto De Zerbi has explained his tactics against Chelsea. He told Brighton's website: "We prepared the game one-to-one with [Kaoru] Mitoma with Chalobah and one-to-one Solly March against Cucurella. But Trossard was fantastic, Adam Lallana the same. All the players were fantastic."
De Zerbi added: "I am very happy for the players, the club and the people who work with the team. And, of course, the great fans because they were the best players on the pitch – they helped us so much. The first 20-25 minutes we were fantastic, in how we played with and without the ball. We played with an intensity I like."

Chalobah opens up on anxiety
Defender Chalobah has revealed he struggled with anxiety when he first became a Chelsea regular. "People don't know what players are going through," Chalobah told The Residency podcast. "We're normal human beings. They think we're superhumans, that we don't get affected by what people say, what people do. I'm the same as you guys.
"Playing for Chelsea last season, towards the start of the season I was suffering with anxiety. Playing for a big club, 40,000 every week, obviously I was used to it [from] going on loan but it's different playing for your boyhood club, at a big Champions League-winning team the big before that."
Chalobah was also asked if his anxiety is still an issue. He said: "The start of last season, the first few weeks - the first month or so - was tough, but then I managed to pull through it. It was just talking to my family, really. It was talking to people. With my family, we're very close, we've always been close, we're always talking."
