Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley believes new manager Graham Potter faces a test of his resolve.
Burley has likened Potter's move from Brighton to Julian Nagelsmann switch from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich.
"It's not dissimilar to Nagelsmann at RB Leipzig going to Bayern Munich," Burley told ESPN. “I am not comparing, I am just saying we had this discussion about Nagelsmann. He did an interview about the scenario, walking into the Bayern Munich dressing room.
“He himself said he was nervous, at Leipzig he was the big star. They had good players but he was the star, goes to Bayern and you walk in and it's [Robert] Lewandowski, it's [Thomas] Muller it's all these great players. It is frightening sometimes.
“Graham Potter is a confident, self-assured guy with his ideas but he is walking out of that Brighton dressing room and now he is walking in and telling Thiago Silva what to do, telling [Kalidou] Koulibaly where he wants him to stand.
“He is telling Reece James who is one of the best full-backs in the game, N'Golo Kante, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in the door, you have got all these attacking players, it's a different conversation.
“It can affect a manager and so it is not going to be easy for him, and those players have to listen. If three or four of those senior players don't listen and turn the other way, it's a huge problem for him. I hope he does not face that, we have not seen it with Nagelsmann at Bayern, I don't think we will see it with Graham Potter but it can be a problem."
