Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Blitzboy]

Chelsea are really difficult to understand. How could you manage to be this ineffective at scoring goals while dominating a game? They even lost the game I mean.    They should be thankful that the matchup is comprised of two legs. Otherwise they were already going to say goodbye to the EFL Cup which is probably the only tournament in which they can win the title.

But after watching this performance I don't think they would be able to beat probably Liverpool in the finale. Liverpool will be likely to have Salah back in the squad until the finale of the EFL Cup so Liverpool would be the winner of the cup I think.

Im confused about Chelsea's predicament too. They dominate the game without scoring, like a car in neutral - revving but not moving. Fans are frustrated with Pochettino's ineffective tactics. Their roster is good, especially against Middlesbrough, therefore they should score comfortably. But here we are, confused.

Fortunately, they still have a chance in the EFL Cup. A major turnaround is needed to advance, especially with Liverpool expected to get Salah back for the final. Chelsea isnt doing well. They must improve or watch the finals from their couches.

Today they lost to Middlesbrough in the EFL. But this is only leg 1. There is still a chance to qualify in Leg 2. If you look at the statistics Chelsea is very dominant, they made 18 attempts 5 on target. They had the ball dominantly. Middlesbrough only utilized counter attacks. But Middlesbrough were more effective. I think Pochettino is not too bad. Chelsea is currently in transition. It is not done in a short time. But today they made their 6th appearance with Pochettino without being able to score a goal.

Chelsea players dominated this match. But they can't win. Despite many attacks, Chelsea players could not score a single goal. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession. We saw Chelsea players dominate the whole match. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, were completely defensive after conceding a goal in the first half. Chelsea completely failed to break down Middlesbrough's defence. It cannot be said for sure whether Chelsea will win the home match of the second leg. Chelsea's performance is very erratic right now.

The fact that dominating alone was not enough in this match, Chelsea was unable to score a goal meant that Pochettino tactics were not effective in making Middlesbrough players. In terms of team quality, Chelsea should be superior, right? This is the problem they are facing this season with the game and squad composition being too strange, maybe this is another bad sign that the coach cannot solve. in Leg 2, 1 goal behind can still be caught if Chelsea is able to break the opponent's defensive wall. Moreover, playing at home means Chelsea must be able to dominate even more than in today's match.

It was an interesting match, I think there was no problem with the Chelsea players being motivated for the match. They just had a bit of an unlucky day and couldn't score. When you look at the statistics, you can see that Chelsea played better and dominated the match in this match. But a team that cannot score has no chance of winning the match. Chelsea also became a team that could not score a goal

Not having an unlucky day because Chelsea always performs well but the fact is that losing matches like this is often experienced by Chelsea when their statistics are superior but they lose then it is not natural, I always think there is something wrong with Chelsea so losing to low teams is no longer surprising to us.

If they have no motivation problems in players then why often lose in the Premier League or in other competitions? Then the only thing we suspect is that the coach cannot bring Chelsea even though he has invested a lot of money to spend on players the results are not there, they are only in the middle of the table until the first half.

[Bitcoin_people]

This coach has consistently underperformed, showing no desire to win and always comfortable with losses. Pochettino has failed to bring improvement to Chelsea, and the team appears to be getting worse under his management. It's evident that the current project is destined for failure under him. Chelsea needs to change its system to progress, or else they will continue to struggle.

Chelsea's performance in last night's match was really poor, due to which they could not win the match against Middleborough. Chelsea however had 72% possession while Middleborough only had 28% possession in the semi-final against Chelsea. Chelsea performed well in all aspects and were attacking but they couldn't keep the ball in the back of the net. Middleborough scored a goal in the first half and came back stronger and denied Chelsea any more chances to score and the keeper made a great save. Since they failed in the first leg match, it is difficult to say how well they will perform in the second leg but most likely they will do worse in the match. As Chelsea's performances are so erratic at the moment, they need to improve on this disappointing performance or face a semi-final exit.

It’s going to be a very tough game for Manchester United considering their inconsistent form. You can tell if Manchester United is good at home or on away soil. They choose to win anywhere they want to win but I don’t know about this particular fixture. They lost to Tottenham in the first leg 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and I don’t think they would want Tottenham to do a double wins over them this season. They are having some players returning from injury so they should get at least a point or 3 against Tottenham.

But Tottenham have been more regular than Manchester United so far and I know that they will try to get a good result at Old Trafford to try to steal Arsenal’s fourth position, as The Gunners are only one point above them.

Manchester united is neither good at home or away they are just inconsistent and you can relay on them at any point to deliver a good result or to be able to win, both at how or on away soil they still exhibit so much of inconsistency in their performance, I was hoping they get the team fixed by this January window.

Tottenham at some point were inconsistent too but then in recent times they have been able to harness their performance once again and I doubt if Manchester united will really be a problem to them but then whenever Manchester united meets with weak team such as this that's almost their equal, they usually perform a little above average and are able to get a draw in some cases so I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams share points by the end of the game. This will keep Manchester united at the Seventh position if they are able to win but if they draw they will still maintain their current position.

Chelsea is one team one cannot rely on,they were really poor in last night's game,although they played all they could to make sure they were able to get a point,but Middleborough were too solid defensively for Chelsea to break their defence.It is really embarrassing that Chelsea  would lose to a team that's not in the Premier league,and with all the players who they spent so much money on to sign in the transfer window.I wonder how their fans will feel when they see a team that's not even on thesame level with Chelsea win them,and defend the goal till the last minute of the game.Pochetino really need to work on that team again,and change their strategy, else,the premier league will be too hot for them to survive in.

Chelsea are clearly not as strong as they have been in previous seasons at this point, so I don't think that's all that surprising. This team is populated by many new players and so far several coaches who have worked with them have still failed to make Chelsea better. Pochettino has also not shown any improvement at Chelsea this season which would likely be considered a failure, but he still has plenty of time to think about improvement.

So far Chelsea have won 3 of their last 5 matches in the Premier League and have collected 28 points in 20 matches. There are 18 more games that Pochettino can take advantage of this season and fight for a place in Europe, but I'm skeptical about that.

Chelsea will face Fulham this week, which should enable Chelsea to show their best game, because winning twice in a row should make them more confident in getting full points against Fulham. It's not easy to win against Fulham, let alone get full points because Fulham always plays full. surprise and even though they had suffered three consecutive defeats before, they were starting to feel a little confident after winning the previous week against Arsenal.

Pochettino is still in the process of bringing Chelsea back to how it used to be, it just takes time to process it, that's what Pochettino said, after failing to get rid of Middlesbrough in the league cup yesterday, the point is that winning against Fulham is something that must be achieved in order to improve their position to better and improving, displacing Newcastle, which is still performing poorly recently.

It seems like there is a deliberate effort being carried out by certain parties to keep Chelsea in a downturn. I don't agree with people who say Chelsea is a bad team, for me Chelsea is a good team who is in a bad situation.

Review of Chelsea's match, which failed to beat Middlesbrough despite having good statistics throughout the match. I didn't watch the match, but in the replay I saw, Chelsea's game couldn't match the front line players with the other lines.
In the 2nd leg EFL which will take place on 24 January, Chelsea can finish Middlesbrough with a higher aggregate of goals at Stamford Bridge.

I think there is some truth to it and Chelsea often looks like that. They can only focus on rotating on the axis and not try to do anything more aggressive against their opponent. Maybe this is because Pochettino's strategy emphasizes that or because the players are not well coordinated. I think they have reasons for doing that, but fortunately Chelsea is no worse than Middlesbourgh.

The Blues still have hope for the future and maybe this time they will not repeat the same mistakes and must be diligent in doing their work to the maximum. Pochettino also has to change the existing structure if his strategy doesn't work well in the next match.

Chelsea cannot win Fulham in this game,and if you don't want your game to be cut,don't bet for Chelsea to win it,rather,you give Fulham a win or draw,but for me,I don't like putting Chelsea in my games again,they love losing and dissappointing people.I wonder how their premier league stand will be when they continue losing to smaller teams they were not supposed to lose to.
They didn't qualify for any European tournament last season,and this season has come again,they brought in new coach,new players and yet,they are still thesame,let's pray they don't get religated,because I don't understand this Chelsea team.

Of course, Chelsea should be able to take advantage of this match to continue its winning trend. They have made it 2 wins in a row against Crystal Palace and Luton Town, but Fulham seems much stronger. The match against Fulham is a difficult match for Chelsea in my opinion, but considering that Chelsea is playing at home, they are the team with a better probability of winning.

Fulham are in better condition after they won two wins in their last two matches. Fulham beat Arsenal in the Premier League, while Fulham also won against Rotherham in the FA Cup. Chelsea certainly deserves to be expected to win, but Fulham cannot be underestimated.

The reason is, in the Championship standings the fact is that Middlesbrough is also only in 12th position with 36 points. Comparing with Chelsea position in the Premier League standings is in 10th place even though Chelsea also only has 28 points but ya, at least playing in the Premier League is clearly more difficult. Therefore, Chelsea should still be able to win in this EFL Cup match against Middlesbrough. Although Chelsea still failed to do so, but because Chelsea has very good statistics in this match then ya, of course Chelsea should be able to avoid defeat by ending the match with a draw. So ya, with a defeat in a match like this it is certainly a disappointment and it looks like Chelsea must move to find a new coach.

The most annoying part of that match was that Chelsea has the opportunity of wining Middlesbrough but couldn't utilize the opportunity but however if we should talk about performance they performed so well and dominated the match from the first half to the second half but they miss all there scoring opportunities they had on that match, because if they had utilize those opportunities they would have given Middlesbrough more than two goals, actually Chelsea inconsistent this season is nothing like before because even if they are not that strong but at least they should have always taking advantages of any opportunities that's presented to them because I don't really understand there goals or target this season.

Im sure chelsea will be winning home match as long as pochettino will stop to do another stupid things. It was absolutely pathetic, mate. Chelsea lose after it has made so many chances. Chelsea finished it exactly the same chelsea started it. Pochettino's in game management was so dreadful.
Palmer was a flop in that game by missing many opportunities, im not going pinpoint on the moments but cole palmer has no instict to play as a striker and how can pochettino put him to play at the number 9 which is so strange.
Chelsea's performance was so awful. This team is terrible to watch. Im also questioning myself about why did poch put sterling as a regular player while he was performing so inconsistent?
I can't even answer it by myself. Chelsea was playing so poorly in that game against mediocre team. Sterling was so terrible. He deserves no spot in the starting line up. It's such a disgrace for a club spent more than a half of billion to lose against a garbage club.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea got humbled by a Championship team under Pochettino, To me, Raheem Sterling, Gallagher were finding it difficult to operate from the wing side, and Palmer was the major spoiler of that match last night for Chelsea, missed major chances he got in the box, even that one-on-one with the keeper all were being thrown away, but that poor performance was unlike Palmer I used to know that barely miss chances with the ball, but I think hard luck was what followed Chelsea in that game that stopped them from winning the match.

[QueenVera]

Mahrez a junk player? Really? I don't think you have sat down and watched Mahrez right from when he was at Leicester City, I means the man was on fire and he also contributed to the success of Leicester lifting the EPL trophy, that was why Pep bought him and he became an effective too for the Citizens.
 The player you called a junk player has a total of 78 goals and 58 assist during his 5yrs at the club and you think he's a junk player? Well you need to go back and watch him, I feel you are saying that because he's an African and you don't want to acknowledge his efforts.
 When you say something about pairing, you made mentioned of Alvarez and Grealish, to me I don't see those two as best to make oppositions feel threatened, if you're talking about best pairing I'd say Doku and Alvarez or Doku and Phil Foden.
 If Pep is starting the front 3 it should be Doku on the left, Alvarez as the striker and Foden on the right flank, these guys have more force that would produce goals in a game than Grealish in that selection.
 To me Grealish is just another player you should be calling a junk player because he likes being fouled, he also kills counter attacks, so I prefer Doku to him and if Mahrez was to be in that City team now I'd prefer him over Grealish. If not for the money I don't think Grealish would still be playing regularly for Man City.

Mahrez is never a junk player rather I think he’s one underrated player who’s got so much impact especially when he’s on the pitch of play. He was signed to Man City when he was part of the helping hands that aided in Leicester win of the EPL trophy. Pairing of Alvarez and Grealish is a disaster as Grealish needs someone very experienced to do the finishing jobs for him and most times Alvarez isn’t that person to do it. Alvarez and Doku or Foden will be a better pair because these 2 are also young and would want to achieve a lot especially as they’re not big money signings

 Mahrez over Grealish anytime, anyday he's plays better and is more reliable than Grealish despite his age, I still don't understand why Pep had to let him go, maybe he kept Grealish cause of the money the got him for and decided to sale Mahrez cause of his age, however you're right instead of start Grealish I think Goku is more preferable currently.

[bangjoe]

It was an interesting match, I think there was no problem with the Chelsea players being motivated for the match. They just had a bit of an unlucky day and couldn't score. When you look at the statistics, you can see that Chelsea played better and dominated the match in this match. But a team that cannot score has no chance of winning the match. Chelsea also became a team that could not score a goal

Not having an unlucky day because Chelsea always performs well but the fact is that losing matches like this is often experienced by Chelsea when their statistics are superior but they lose then it is not natural, I always think there is something wrong with Chelsea so losing to low teams is no longer surprising to us.

If they have no motivation problems in players then why often lose in the Premier League or in other competitions? Then the only thing we suspect is that the coach cannot bring Chelsea even though he has invested a lot of money to spend on players the results are not there, they are only in the middle of the table until the first half.

It was disappointing that chelsea could not create goals with the dominance of the match which in my opinion deserved to get a lot of goals in that match, unfortunately chelsea did not have a striker who could produce goals that night.

To be honest, if traced properly, they have players who are quite capable, and with the quantity of players that can be relied on but unfortunately they do not have a strategy that can really penetrate the middlesbrough defense.
But we also need to remember that Chelsea indeed when against strong teams they will also strengthen but when against teams below them, sometimes they play with poor performances, but maybe the second round they can get a victory and avenge the annoyance they get for the embarrassing 1-0 defeat.

[Oluwa-btc]

Manchester City are no longer the powerhouse we saw dominate the premier league for four seasons in a row. Losing Mahrez, Gundogan, e.t.c really affected the team’s performance this season because Manchester City were playing better than they are performing now without the departed players. I am looking forward to one or two additions this January for Manchester City to boost the team’s competitiveness.

"without" or "with" ?? I think there's some sort of contradictions there... But it's fine anyways.
For me, I think this should be one of the best seasons for them - Mahrez was actually a junk player in there since he was barely given enough playtime..Maybe for the fact that he's African? Guardiola knows best... But I think having Alvarez and Grealish both paired would improve the effectiveness on the flanks.. it all depends on the formation though - a standard 4-3-3 formation would also link them both, allowing debryune and halland to communicate directly.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Crap!

Do you even play football? How was Mahrez a junk player? Anybody who watched him knew he had one of the finest touch, if not the finest in the Premier League and in the world.
This is same player that won the Premier League Competition with Leicester City and at the same time, assisting Jamie Vardy who was also top scorer that same season.

Taking a good look at him career profile, he's won good trophies, now adding the Treble with Manchester City. ( If I'm correct, he must have also won the African best player award )
Mahrez alongside De Bruyne, Bernado Silva and Ilkay Gundogan made Manchester City unstoppable. Thanks to Pep Guardiola included.

If Chelsea is losing this match, there is a problem. I don't care if it's a cup match or not. Chelsea should have won this match. It is obvious that there are problems in the goal path. Alarms are ringing in Chelsea after losing to a team from a lower league. Now it is necessary to seriously question why the players play like this.

I really loved Mahrez's playing style especially how he was used when he played at Mancity,he was one of the best wingers in the league as at then.I wish a team in premier league brings him back to come and play for them,and I would have loved him playing for Arsenal.If he is to play alongside Saka or Martinelli in those wings,the Arsenal front line which is losing balance at the moment would have being rekindled,and their scoring percentage would increase because Mahrez is a regular goal scorer.
Now,Mancity uses Grealish and Doku,who are also very pacy and important to this current City squad.
