Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[slaman29]

What? Chelsea lose again? They have the worst form in the premier league big teams at the moment without counting fixtures against the other big teams of course. Win, lose, win, lose. Cannot blame them for wanting to ensure progress in the Europa but to lose 2-0 to Everton is just a poor performance. They need strikers badly, even if they don't make champions league spots.

Sarri's Chelsea is a joke this season, a team with possession without end result. They had 2 game at hand with a chance to rank-up in table to fourth place and they wasted it. Although I'm a Chelsea I would love hazard to leave to get a better chance of winning trophies because this sarri's Chelsea team is just a joke. I think it's time they sack sarri.

But hazard has been part of Chelsea's backbone for sometime now. But anyway i would mine if he got to Real Madrid 
He would fit in there perfectly.
Chelsea need to have a complete squad overhaul and start off a fresh with a new manager too. The club owner should also change his ways of handling managers.

Lmao Chelsea, another lose on premier league. I watched this game and tbh there are many chelsea players burn out because of hectic schedule.

Sarri last chance is to win Europa League if he want to stay in Chelsea imo.

This year's Chelsea is absolutely disappointing. I can see only Hazard, Wilian and Kante playing for the club in every game as they should the rest of the players play.
I don't think that Sarri is going to stay in the club even if he is going to win Europa League. Players seems to not showing respect to him and I think that he is not going to stand it.

Chelsea should sign a new coach. Its clear this is not working right now and they need fresh start next season. They have some good players and good abilites to play better.

Problem is they can’t sign any players this summer. That really is not going to help them attract a new manager, is it?

Their are stuck in a complicated situation, and their best option will be to stick with Sarri and endeavor they avoid selling any of their stars, most especially Real Madrid bound Eden Hazard.

I believe it was a month ago if not longer he was wanting a trade out of chelsea? I remember watching one of their games and hazard had a scowl on his face and when he got subbed out he stomped off the field and sat down and looked miserable.
He will get traded to another team this summer this is for certain.

It is a problem, but Chelsea squad is already a good material to work on. They only player that can leave the club is Hazard all the others will continue to play in the club. If they work hard from the beginning to the end they can win titles as this squad is similar to the one that won the Premier League title a couple of years ago.

Well...  That's not a problem with Abramovich.  I mean he's one of those club owners who embraced the idea of changing the manager whenever he isn't happy with the outcome.  It's why we have such a a crappy football culture (in that aspect) today.  And it made the players whiny.  Lol.

[GregH37]

When no one loses its so tough to know who will crack first. If Liverpool ever loses in the future its going to be super hard for them to close that difference but for now they have been doing so great, City on the other hand have been winning for so so long that I really can't see how they are going to lose or maybe that will be the eventual reason why they lose because they have been fighting hard on all sides and eventually they will be tired and all that and make couple silly mistakes that costs them the game.

With this Chelsea lost and all that if United can manage to win against City not only they will have a vital play in who will be the champions but also they will be making sure they are still fighting for the euro standing. Its going to be a game to watch for sure.

Agree with you, Abramovich has been a real poison to Chelsea's football. He pokes his nose way too much into manager's decisions and even when the manager tries what he can, he could easily be fired.
Also Chelsea seem to have a curse with hcenter forwards.

In the recent times i think it's only Drogba and Diego Costa who looked sharp in front of goal
The rest such as Torres, Andriy Shevchenko, Radamel Falcao, Romelu Lukaku,  Alexandre Pato, Claudio Pizarro, Alvaro Morata, Loic Remy etc have been a pile of garbage.

Chelsea supporters were not fair. Abramovich was most responsible for all successes of Chelsea in the last 10-15 year. You can't call them poison. Without them, many things would look different. Now is a different time, and there we have many rich teams which can buy top players. And there is a more difficult situation for Chelsea to stay at the top. Also, what do you think about Real Madrid and his support to managers? Only in the current season, they change three managers.
You can't say that players like Torres, Andriy Shevchenko, Radamel Falcao, Romelu Lukaku are garbage.

You have a good point there. Maybe Sarri just need some more time to give Chelsea his own face and get the best from the players.
I think its not good for football that coaches nowadays can get fired after 6 months already. In my opinion atleast 2 years should be given to every coach who start with new team.


edit: I am not a big Chelsea fan and I did not know Sarri is in Chelsea from 14 July 2018. For some reason I did remember he has been there for a longer time. Thats why I wrote above comment

Without Abramovich Chelsea would be nothing. Before he arrived they won nothing. The reason they’re not as good now is that we have the emergence of LFC & Man City. When Chelsea were dominating there was only really Man Utd who were great. Now LFC & Man City have just as much money as Chelsea. Spurs are a good team too, I think Abramovich is bored at Chelsea now too, he doesn’t invest as much money.

I think Abramovic is just waiting for the right time, He'd definitely invest big one any player he deemed worthy, most especially a centre forward, Chelsea have been known to always spend big on CFs although, they've not have a lot of luck on players playing that position. The transfer market these days is filled with overly hyped and overpriced mediocrity which I think is the main reason a lot of teams are holding back.

You cannot say garbage players that are legends in the football only because they didn't fit in the Chelsea team. Each one of them has made an exceptional career and they have contributed a lot in the football.
From your comment I can see that you are probably a new Chelsea fan nearly 2005, when Abramovich got the team as you forget the legend Hasselbaink who was the best striker before Chelsea's new era.

I don’t remember the source but I read that Abramovich wants to pull his money out of the UK now. Maybe he is washing his hands of Chelsea & looking for a buyer.

We will have to wait & see.

too much reliance on money is also ineffective, Chelsea's downturn was due to an abrahamovic's lust for a fast title. even if they want to be patient, they still contract Ancelotti for the long term is a good investment for the club.

I don't think so cos some other monied individual or group would be buying Chelsea FC anyway...  Some Arab prince, some Chinese billionaire or some American business group specializing in sports...  Somebody.

And claudiauit, even Costa can't really be said to be as successful as Drogba at Chelsea.  Droba's immortal.

[GregH37]

I don't think Abramovich is the only reason why Chelsea was successful, I mean of course money is a big thing and he went in there with big guns and purchased many great players, had some success which in return made a lot of money (cups, fees, jerseys, tickets all increased in revenue for them) but look at how much they are spending today vs how much the other teams are spending.

I mean its not like this dude is spending x2 more than anyone else, no they are not probably even in top 5, so of course they should not expect a big great team that bulldozes anyone on their path. He came into the team like that but he is no more like that. Him selling the team would make sense honestly. After all he did got in, made his name and had his fun and since the times have changed he would probably even sell it for a profit.
