Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[bering]

Damn!! What is wrong with Todd Boehly? Despite Chelsea's dramatic comeback at the end of the season, the club is not interested in continuing to work with Pochettino and some media reported that if boehly is now seeking a new coach for chelsea who can be controlled by him. I was opening my X and saw some people talking about Todd Boehly, who dislikes Pochettino and planned to sack him.

That's the Americans for you, they do not care about the heritage of the sport but only after the money, the owners of Chelsea are only seeing Chelsea as a business opportunity for them to make money and abandon the club. I heard they are thinking of selling some of the academy players for pure profits in spite of how helpful they have been this season to the club. Nobody saw Chelsea finishing in the position that they finished, we all thought Chelsea was going to end at mid table but they proved everyone wrong and are now in a position to be eligible for European competition. Chelsea will be playing in either the Europa League or conference League which gives them an opportunity to win a trophy next season because they are developing at a quick speed. Todd boehly and the Chelsea board should give Pochettino some more time and he is going to turn Chelsea into title contenders.

Just like i said before Pochettino has found good method and good strategies for Chelsea and it proven from Chelsea recent performance that they can got several winning streak and Chelsea even can able to finish at 6th place at the end of this season and playing at the final match of Carabao Cup obviously this achievement is much better if we compared to last season performance even the fans likes what Pochettino done at this team because for next season they have a potention to compete for top 4 place so the fans is fully support for Pochettino and they want Pochettino to continue his works
Indeed at the beginning of season Chelsea was targetting top 4 position to Pochettino and i have to says Pochettino was failed to reach the owner target and i am not a Chelsea fans but i think Chelsea owner should be give him more chances because i am sure Chelsea will be able to performing better again next season under him

Let's hope for the best that Chelsea positively starts the new season more importantly the kind of interesting matches and title decider till the last match shows the class of EPL and the level of competition everyone gives to their opponent.

The competition is never consider easy. Mauricio Pochettino made a mistake but it doesn't mean he wouldn't explore more opportunities to grab next season. To be a fan to one of these struggling elite team is really a big ache to everyone. Chelsea will not miss out in the new season. During the ending of 2023/2024 EPL campaign, the Blues showed interesting display which was comfortable for the fans and the coach is pleased with them.

Chelsea made a good move in their last matches and rose to one of the highest levels possible in the rankings. The team knows each other now and I am sure they will take the competition to the next level next year. They may have been ranked this year in the league, but I think they will be in the championship race next year. They only finished the league 5 points behind the UCL rankings. Why can't they go to UCL next year? If it wasn't for their poor performance at the beginning of the league, they could even go to the UCL this year.

I thought we wouldn't see Chelsea in the top 10 of the table at the end of the season. But in the past matches, Chelsea has performed amazingly. And managed to continue the winning streak. Chelsea finished the season in sixth place in the table after a series of good performances. I can't remember the last time I saw Chelsea lose.

Chelsea have played very well in recent matches. We have seen excellent performances from Chelsea in almost every match except the match against Arsenal. The team is currently in stable condition. So Chelsea management will definitely try to strengthen their squad next season.

It's funny when you said you can't remember the last time Chelsea lost a premier league match. Well I think the loss to Arsenal is still very fresh in our memory, how Arsenal humiliated Chelsea with a 5:0 hammering. Chelsea where able to finish this high because other teams ahead of them were having bad results in the closing part of the campaign when Chelsea regained their form. Manchester United and Newcastle were not getting good results and that made Chelsea to overtake them in the league table. If Chelsea players will be fit and not torn by injuries, I think they already have a solid squad that can deliver trophies to Stanford bridge, injuries was upon injuries on senior players of Chelsea in the early season was a major challenge that the club had to manage, and they finally secured a 6 place finish which is remarkable judging by how they started.

I think Pochettino should stay for 1 more year because the team seems to be getting used to each other. We said Chelsea was a team full of good players on paper, and they finally managed to reflect this in the game. There was a good situation in their games at the end of the season. The players started to give hope for next year. Additionally, Cole Palmer shined brightly in the last period of the season. Chelsea should try to get more out of him next year. I think Chelsea is one of the elite teams in the Premier League and they were one of the teams I was most surprised to see fail.

In fact, there are not many good coaches available on the transfer market right now who could replace Pochettino. And if we evaluate the results, then perhaps everything turned out not so bad for Chelsea, only now Boehly must understand that for greater success you need to spend more money, but of course you need to spend it wisely. I think that Pochettino is an excellent coach, especially since he knows very well which positions he needs to strengthen, which players fit well into the team and which ones could not adapt, they have a lot of work to do in the transfer market.

The results wasn’t so bad in the end but, it was really challenging having to watch this Chelsea side in not having to be consistent at anything but somehow, in the last weeks that did matter, they found some form of consistency with the efforts of Cole Palmer.
One thing there to understand is that Chelsea is tipped with a young squad and as the case usually is with such teams, they players would keep vying for important roles and spots in the team which results in indiscipline, where they become competitive within themselves, go for personal glory instead of having a team spirit and this did greatly affected the team.
You could spot that in the penalty scenario between Cole Palmer, Madueke and Jackson. The comments from Pochettino after the game gives you an idea of how this continued to be a problem for the team.
Once the team was able to acknowledge Palmer to be the star man, having the rest of the team line by his side and look for him for distribution of passes wasn’t much of an issue no more. Then, Chelsea starting making waves of there own.
It would be interesting to see if Pochettino would be able to harness what he has found with this squad at the end of the league.

Yep, there's a good progress done by Pochettino, he can improve Chelsea from nothing to finish at 6th position, they're qualified to play for Europa Conference League. It's really crazy if people are expecting Chelsea should reach to top 4 positions because their performance in the last season were terrible.

Now, it's interesting if Manchester United want to hijack Pochettino considering he can give a good improvement when he manages Chelsea.

With a series of 5 consecutive wins, the most recent being a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, Chelsea secured 6th place in the Premier League and a place in the European Cup next season. Chelsea needs to give Pochettino more time to express himself the way he wants. I believe next season will be a successful season for the team. The players will play better next season because they have a year of experience. It's an advantage when you don't make too many changes. Pochettino needs time to rearrange his team, this is a team with mostly young players. They will enter the framework under the hands of a seasoned coach like Pochettino. The management should make the right decision as the Blues have bounced back in recent weeks. Finding a coach to replace Pochettino right now is too difficult.

Chelsea have only played well in the last few weeks, although that has helped improve their position, but getting into the top 4 is no longer possible, but the positive thing is that we can see progress in a positive direction from Chelsea's performance this season and thus it is possible that they can improve. good again next season.

Pochettino is a great coach and indeed Pochettino needed time to process building the Chelsea team, especially as the Chelsea team has changed a lot compared to before, so Pochettino really built this team from scratch.
I think Chelsea management should keep Pochettino because Pochettino has done his best this season.

I don't think Pochettino will want to join the Manchester United team, really it would be quite a difficult job.lol

Shall we already start with 24/25 champion predictions??  Mine hasn't changed for a few years now - Manchester City 🔵 and it's quite probable! 5 in a row, doesn't sound too bad..

Honestly I have to say that Chelsea's level is the champions league, not the Conference league so if they say Pochettino has succeeded in making Chelsea better that's true, it's just that it's not the right place as I said with a squad like this Chelsea deserves to be in the top 4. Pochettino may need time to change everything for the best it's just that we don't know if Chelsea would be willing to give him a chance.

What do you think needs to be improved in the Chelsea squad? I see Chelsea are very aggressive when playing at home and they can beat any team but when playing away their performance changed drastically, we don't know what the problem is, maybe it's mentality or not confident? Apart from that, we also saw problems in the defense line, in one season Chelsea conceded 63 goals while only scoring 77 goals.

[SmartCharpa]

I thought we wouldn't see Chelsea in the top 10 of the table at the end of the season. But in the past matches, Chelsea has performed amazingly. And managed to continue the winning streak. Chelsea finished the season in sixth place in the table after a series of good performances. I can't remember the last time I saw Chelsea lose.

Chelsea have played very well in recent matches. We have seen excellent performances from Chelsea in almost every match except the match against Arsenal. The team is currently in stable condition. So Chelsea management will definitely try to strengthen their squad next season.

Chelsea that we have made fun of them this season, everyone was saying that Chelsea would finish the season at their favorite spot because Chelsea was at the 11 to 10 position. But Chelsea surprised us to finish the season in the 6th position, I couldn't believe that I thought Manchester United or Newcastle were going to secure the position to play in the next Europa League. It is amazing to see Pochettino improve his team before the season ends, I can't even see a post that fans complaining about him because they have seen changes in their performance. Could you believe that Chelsea will progress with Pochettino? Not at all, many people were complaining that they should fire him because even when he was the head coach of Tottenham, they couldn't win a single trophy.

If the club is ready to spend money to sign top players, I believe the new coach will need more than a year to improve his squad, it wasn't easy to join a club and start winning their games, so the coach needs to use his pattern to grow the team. Chelsea has fired two coaches before they should appointed Pochettino and they were just moving around 10 positions. But Pochettino changed the whole squad by signing more players, and we have seen how well they played at the end of the season.

Although I heard rumors that Chelsea is not going to continue with Pochettino next season, if that is true, I believe the club will be worse than this next season. Pochettino and the club have already gotten used to each other, I did not expect to see such news, I hope that wasn't the truth. I think they should give Pochettino another year to see if he's the best coach for the team or not, and they can decide the next step.

As far as I know, when Chelsea was only struggling in the middle of the standings, there was at least a statement that Chelsea would not fire Pochettino and would retain Pochettino or would still give Pochettino a chance next season. But in reality, currently I am getting some information and news about Pochettino who seems to have a problem there. I think, with Pochettino's success in making Chelsea finish in the top six, perhaps this result can make it safe for Pochettino to become Chelsea manager next season. But yes, it looks like there might be something going on within the team, which might make Pochettino unsure about staying at Chelsea next season, which is certainly interesting to look forward to.

Actually some time ago before Chelsea had a more feasible position like today there were several conversations saying that Poche would be replaced and Todd was also looking for several alternatives to be used as a future coach, it's just that for now it looks like the rumors will sink because for the end of the season Poche managed to make a difference by showing quite good results in the last few matches they did and even managed to bring Chelsea to a better position when compared to last season.

Even though he still can't get the Champions League but by improving from Chelsea's lowest point actually what Poche did for this season can still be said to be good and he only needs prosen and proof for next season before deciding whether he deserves or not to be retained but for this season I think he still deserves to be allowed to return to coach Chelsea in the coming season.

[Uruhara]

Shall we already start with 24/25 champion predictions??  Mine hasn't changed for a few years now - Manchester City 🔵 and it's quite probable! 5 in a row, doesn't sound too bad..

If I look at Man City's current performance then they can indeed be expected to become champions again next season. But if you only speculate without clear data. So I will predict Arsenal will win the title next season. I still can't ignore Arsenal's performance this season which was even able to make Man City lose at the start of the season. And Man city also couldn't beat Arsenal when they met in the second half of the season. And in the Community Shield Final, Arsenal succeeded in beating Man City, even through a penalty shootout.

But perhaps we have to look back at the results of the upcoming player transfer market. Because the entry and exit of players will have a big influence on the strength of a team. So waiting until then will allow us to collect more data to make predictions.

At the end of the season Chelsea were able to improve their performances, even Chelsea looked better than Man United. Man United could not maintain the best position failed to enter the Europa League Zone. Regarding Pochettino, he has experience with Tottenham. So giving him time I think is a good reason. Sacking them is not a good idea, because Chelsea have made good progress at the end of this season. But there is indeed some news that he will leave at the end of this season. Reportedly Milan is the next destination.

Why can't they go to UCL next year? If it wasn't for their poor performance at the beginning of the league, they could even go to the UCL this year.

Chelsea had a great end of the season and in the last five matches Chesley won all the victories and it was probably the best end of the season and maybe only City and maybe Arsenal had a better end of the season, but Tottenham, Aston Villa and Liverpool had a much worse end of the season.
We can not disagree with the fact that if not for the failed start of the season, Chelsea could have competed for the Champions League, but Chelsea still have a chance to get into the Europa League, if in the final of the English Cup City beat Manchester United.
At the beginning of the season I thought that a place above 8th would be a success for Chelsea and I think Pocchetino should be given another chance next season, especially if Chelsea qualify for the Europa League.

I think Pochettino should stay for 1 more year because the team seems to be getting used to each other. We said Chelsea was a team full of good players on paper, and they finally managed to reflect this in the game. There was a good situation in their games at the end of the season.

I think Chelsea is one of the elite teams in the Premier League and they were one of the teams I was most surprised to see fail.

I totally agree with you about Pocchetino and under him Palmer has become not just a good player, but I would call him player of the year in general, because in terms of impact on the team's play there are no players in the APL that come close. Even Salah and Saka are not as important to Liverpool and Arsenal as Palmer is to Chelsea.
The worst thing is that there are rumors that Chelsea management is still considering candidates for next season, as reported by the Guardian Chelsea management is in talks with Kieran McKenna manager of Ipswich Town.

In my wildest imagination I never thought crystal palace will even win Aston villa,  not to talk of winning Aston villa 5-0. It was really embarrassing for the Villa side.

Honestly, I never imagined it either, never even thought about it, or even in my dreams it seems like it has never appeared. If there is any thought or prediction, if Crystal Palace is able to beat Aston Villa, it is with a reasonable number of scores. This, 5 - 0. What a senseless defeat for Aston Villa. However, losing is normal, especially at the end of this season which in fact probably won't affect their position in the standings. But 5 - 0, and without a single goal from Aston Villa, it was completely unreasonable and unthinkable. This was a very surprising season finale.  

Chelsea have had a good end to this season, they could well have climbed up to 5th place but alas, no such luck. But on the other hand they should have done better during the season itself, nevertheless I am surprised by their achievement that they went from 10th place to 6th, which is not so bad for them considering the situation.

Yes, Chelsea's performance has actually gotten better and more consistent at the end of the season. Unfortunately they are still inferior in points to Tottenham. However, I read news in Premier League site that if there is a possibility for Chelsea to enter another league, it will depend on the results of the FA Cup.
 Here is what I read from the source:

There are two more European places up for grabs - a second spot in the Europa League, and one in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Chelsea will get one of these places, after they beat AFC Bournemouth 2-1 to seal a sixth-place finish. But they won't know which European competition they're going into until AFTER the FA Cup final is played on 25 May.

Crystal palace did a wonderful job against Aston villa last Sunday.
As for Chelsea, I think what the article is talking about is that, they've already secured a place in the UEFA European competition for next season, between Europa League and Europa conference league, but only can be determined after the game between Manchester City and Manchester United during the FA cup finals, because if Manchester United should win  the FA cup, I think they would be securing a place in the Europa League, then the other spot will be occupied by Chelsea in the Europa conference League, but if Manchester United loses, they will be going for Europa conference league, while Chelsea will go for the Europa League.

From the report I read yesterday he told the owners that he wants to be fully involved in player transfer both incoming and outgoing players, not every owner gives this kind of access to managers. The Chelsea owners have always wanted a manager who would be involved both in the field and the team politics as well. Isn't it the reason Tuchel was sacked? For refusing to get himself involved in transfer and club politics.

If they want to sack him they would have some that month ago when the team was in terrible shape not now that he's beginning to keep it competitive again.

[onecall123]

Arsenal once again fell into a painful situation when they missed out on the championship. But Arsenal experienced a successful season. They showed outstanding progress and maturity under Mikel Arteta's reign. The main reason is that two defeats against Aston Villa this season contributed to Arsenal falling behind Man City.

I appreciate Arsenal's current squad, I think the current players want to stay to continue fighting instead of leaving. This team has finished second in two consecutive seasons, but they are maturing, and I believe Mikel Arteta's team will be even better next season. Arsenal will need more quality contracts, thereby increasing competitiveness next season. Arsenal is a team with real strength, but the difference between Arsenal and Man City lies in spirit and bravery. Pep Guardiola's team did not make any mistakes in the final stages of the season.

It's also boring for me to see the same team winning year after year. It's undeniable how close this Arsenal team came to the title, but they were unlucky because their contenders stayed consistent at the end of the season and made no single mistakes. Arsenal and Man City are both great teams, but only one can win the title. I wish Arsenal the best of luck next season.
And of-course we have to appreciate that Pep has built an incredible team under his reign. Winning four EPL in a row is unbelievable. Even though repeating last season's treble won't happen, but the possibility of a domestic double is almost certain. Pep will easily win the FA Cup because Man United doesn't have a quality coach or keeper.

Certainly I understand your point and is actually true because in as much as Manchester City deserves the premier League trophy based on there good performance this season but it would have also been very interesting if other clubs like Arsenal or Liverpool would have won the league since Manchester City won the last season premier League because that's one of the things that makes league more entertaining were trophies are being won by different clubs on every season.


However regardless is also a good thing for Manchester City because they go through some serious challenges at the middle of the season so perhaps wining the premier League is like a pay off to them for the things they go through, also I agree with you that there next match will also be an easy one for them just like I similarly mentioned irrespective of Manchester City performance they will never underestimate Manchester United because they cannot afford to miss the FA Cup so they will likely use all there best players in other to outperform Manchester United and win the trophy.

[KTChampions]

I read in the news today that the next meetings to consider violations (115) of the City will take place in October, and the decision will be made in 2025  
What kind of fucking clownery is this? I understand that bureaucratic procedures take time, but so much? The scammers will have time to win the 5th title in a row while this all drags on.
And I also have big doubts that City will be punished in any serious way.
