Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Altryist]

I already said before, that the problem in Chelsea is not about their coach, Chelsea tried to use many other coaches in the past after they stopped working with Potter but it didn't work for them and they still couldn't get good results in the Premier League and Chelsea is still far from the top of the table where they were before.
I think Tod Boehly has no idea about how to manage the team and the only thing he can do is to just spend money every season for rebuilding the team but in the end, they can't get good results.
 

Boehly did not spend money on acquiring new players, just when Pochettino arrived, Chelsea sold a lot of players, and therefore Pochettino was in a comparatively worse position with his predecessors. Boehly is a businessman, perhaps at first he wanted to achieve some titles, now I assume that he will try to get some kind of profit from the team. It is clear that he does not understand how to manage a team, at the moment he is learning how to do it.

[hahay]

Chelsea should be able to put trust in every coach they employ, like Ten Hag at Manchester United and Arsenal with Artata. Not all coaches are able to do a great job in just one first season, even if it is not impossible, it will be really difficult because of the adaptation process.

Chelsea is completely different from other elite EPL club. They're strict when it comes to their managers and not welcoming any relenting outcomes. Erik Ten Hag in Chelsea? He would have been sacked long time ago. The previous owner, Abramovic doesn't welcome any relenting efforts or if he sensed any form of incompetence from the headcoach, he will definitely make good use of the sack letter.

If we think that Pochettino can lead Chelsea to finish in a better place than last season, he will immediately be fired, especially if we compare him with Erik Ten Hag, of course they already did in the first season. Each club has its own stance on handling this matter and Chelsea is known to be quite serious about their coach's problems.

I think Chelsea is really targeting results beyond their capabilities so any coach will think twice before deciding whether to handle a team that is still in the transition process. Apart from that, Enzo Maresca certainly wants to take this job considering that his name will also become more popular if he can manage Chelsea and compared to other experienced coaches, they are definitely reluctant to take this job.

You should know that Erik ten Hag was successful in his first season at Manchester United, because Erik ten Hag managed to make Manchester United finish in third place in his first season. Therefore, even if, for example, Erik ten Hag was at Chelsea and was successful like that in his first season, then of course Chelsea would not sack him either. Unless the team finishes outside the top five, then of course Chelsea will immediately fire their head coach when the league is over. But indeed, Chelsea also looks like they are making a big effort to get the right coach but unfortunately, Chelsea wants quick success, because Chelsea doesn't respect the process.

I think Chelsea Management is not experienced enough in managing the renowned club like Chelsea. At the same time, management's relationship with coaches and players is not good. And this is one of Chelsea's bad performance.

Chelsea management now wants to make money from the Chelsea Club. This is why they are not very worried about Chelsea's over -performance. Coach changed many times in the last few years. As Chelsea is now in a situation, the coach change cannot be any solution. Wanting to change Chelsea's over -standing position, the experienced coach is needed. At the same time, big funds need to buy players.

[Oluwa-btc]

When it comes to the Manchester United, what is broken is the manager himself. He's not gotten that true and real connection with the team players, rather he just work with them as their manager is what I feel. Hence he's not able to get the motivation he needs from.each and every player he needs in his toolbox. All I advice the team to do and the club in the entirely is to sit well and have an open discussion between the players and the manager of the club so as to fix all the differences between them. This is if Eric Ten Hag is to continue as a manager. Personally, I like the guy and he's hardworking but I need him to control himself the more to become more of a sportsman than a boss to the players. Let him.be more magnanimous at heart.

Even the new owners seem dump to me because they should already be making moves for players in my opinion. I still don't know why it's taking too long with the evaluation.
They should know it's taken too long already, it's time for them to start backing up the manager if they have no plans sacking him.

Erik Ten Hag is a good coach, tactically sound and reads the game very well, during his first season I can boast of him having all of his decisions correct because he also had enough options of players to make selections from. It's not the same since that lose to Sevilla during the European Europa League Competition.

Manchester United lose some of them most important players to Injury even before the preseason even the decisions from the medical team affected his decisions as he sent back Sergio Regulon back to Tottenham Hotspur after completing him loan deal for the club.
All Erik Ten Hag needs is the right backing.

[piebeyb]

after Ten Hag is given the opportunity next season, it looks like he will be more careful and will choose truly quality players who can make a difference to Man United appearance and win several titles which can give confidence to the fans of this team again.

If he is given another chance actually I am not sure that he will get good results next season and maybe Manchester United will be a bad team again like this season they suffered a lot of defeats so they ended up in 8th place, I think Ten Hag should be replaced and there also needs to be an overhaul of their main squad, it's true that there are several players who are less productive so in my opinion they need to be replaced and sold in order to be able to buy players who are truly productive next season.

The competition next season will clearly be very difficult if there are no changes to Manchester United, I'm sure there will be no changes to Manchester United next season and the results will definitely not be much different from this season, just look at the many teams that are already planning to make changes. main squad and head coach, changes must be made if they have failed before, Ten hag has been given the opportunity for several seasons but the results continue to decline and that is not good to maintain.

[Farma]

During Abramovic era the manager keep existing around more than one until two season without sacked them such as did by Todd Boehly era because some manager leaving their position without one season over. Chelsea faced difficulty return back to be big four team of premier league since acquisition by Todd Boehly and never yet participants in Champion League or Europe League competition. Chelsea under Todd Boehly era made more interventions in recruiting players, even Pochettino had to leave his position after not being given the freedom to recruit new players.

Build up one team with full youth player need time for development and I think Chelsea owner more patience waiting for giving opportunity more longer time to manager find right tactician. In this season Chelsea will perform in UEFA Conference League and its opportunity after absent last two season with European competition.

Todd Boehly doesn't seem to understand how to build a team and Chelsea's management made a lot of mistakes so they are down like they are now, they don't want a process as if everything can be bought with money, that's a big mistake and if that can't be changed then forever Chelsea will not develop.

Everything takes a process and time to build a team, like what Manchester City did several seasons ago and Chelsea management should be able to do the same thing.
Now Chelsea has a new coach and I am pessimistic that Chelsea can recover in the near future.

[Roseline492]

Chelsea is completely different from other elite EPL club. They're strict when it comes to their managers and not welcoming any relenting outcomes. Erik Ten Hag in Chelsea? He would have been sacked long time ago.

That's one of the unique thing about Chelsea they hardly tolerate inexperienced coaches that is why they always sack coaches whenever they feel he is not doing what they hired him for, so actually Chelsea management is so strict that they always expect there coaches to effect there coaching skills to there players immediately without given them a lot of time to get use to team, so I agree with you that if it was Chelsea that Erik Ten Hag was coaching they would have actually sacked him long time ago because he lack some qualities but however fortunately for him Manchester United is not like Chelsea that doesn't think twice of sacking there coach but instead they always give there coach enough time to get use to the players and at the time develop the perfect strategy that would work for them.

He would have been sacked long time ago. The previous owner, Abramovic doesn't welcome any relenting efforts or if he sensed any form of incompetence from the headcoach, he will definitely make good use of the sack letter.

Could it have also been that since Abramovich left Chelsea, their performance have been declining? They had their best season some years back when Abramovich was still the owner of the club. Maybe those strict rules made managers to perform above expectations to keep their job at Chelsea and the club was truly shining during those periods. In as much as some of those sackings aren’t so warrant, I think we should respect the decision of the owner for what they want for their clubs, because those are what keep them in the game to keep shining and also be on high demand in business terms also.

If Ten Hang is in Chelsea, he would have been the least serving couch in the club if his performance will be as same as it is now in Manchester united. I like how Abrahamovic was making good use of his sack letter because some of these couches are just there to earn a living without impact on the club development. Todd is too calm and tolerate what shouldn't be tolerated in order to maintain the standard of the club.

We can’t be so sure that Eric Ten Hag if given the position of the manager at Chelsea won’t perform well. In cases like this, it depends on the atmosphere and environment these coaches find themselves that they’ll put in effort to make the team prevail amongst other clubs. If Ten Hag is under a more strict management, he might have done better than what he’s doing now at Manchester United if he was in Chelsea as their coach. Ten Hag is not even an option for Chelsea to consider, so let this comparison just slide by and see how the new coach will do in Chelsea.

[topbitcoin]

Actually, for this matter, I read that Pochettino himself resigned and it was not a dismissal, so in this case we cannot equate dismissal and resignation because after all they are 2 different things.
So in this case we cannot seem to blame Chelsea for everything that is happening to Poche and Chelsea at the moment because Chelsea also does not have the option to maintain the coaching position that Poche previously had this season.

Now all that has to be done is to see what next steps Chelsea will take because forcing their will on Poche is also not possible now because when Poche decides to resign then indirectly they have to look for a new replacement coach and it is worth seeing what Todd will do. do it this season because of the possibility that a change could occur with the new coach now.

We know that Pochettino was not fired by the Chelsea management. Pochettino voluntarily re-signed. However, Pochettino re-signed because his relationship with Chelsea management is not good. And since Chelsea's change of ownership, no coach has had a good relationship with Chelsea management. And that's why we hold Chelsea management responsible for Chelsea's decline.

Chelsea will now look for a new coach. It will not be easy for the new coach to stabilize the team. It needs time. So it seems very unlikely that we will see Chelsea in the top 4 of the table next season as well.

By looking at this situation, the point is that we cannot fully blame Chelsea for Poche's departure now even though this initially happened because of poor communication and cooperation but still we must also know that sacking and resignation are 2 different things so we do not have to fully say that this is Chelsea's fault.
From the beginning, Poche's appointment as coach was doubtful but he did a good job towards the end of the season even though the beginning and middle of the season were not very good in terms of performance.

As I said before, the situation will remain the same as 2 seasons ago where Chelsea will again feel the strength with a new coach who will definitely do a scheme and game that could even be directly different from this season so things like this cannot be changed because after all this is a certainty where when a new coach then there needs to be a situation where a reshuffle is definitely done to make the squad fit the criteria.

[GiftedMAN]

They keep changing coaches like selfies, no matter how experienced a coach is, it will take him a long time to understand the club. Because it is not possible to do everything at the beginning, because no matter how experienced a coach is, he has to spend one to two or three seasons to convince the team that he can fully teach his team with good experience. However, I don't support the Chelsea team changing the coach so much, the coach should be given time only if he can take the team to the top with his experience.

No matter how much Chelsea tries to change coaches, I think Chelsea will not be as successful as before because the previous Chelsea did not often take quick decisions which ultimately destroyed the club itself because any coach also needs time to bring the club to success. If we look at Pochettino's abilities we will see Chelsea's progress has been significant compared to last season, but unfortunately the management doesn't see that and only wants to see Chelsea at the top level without seeing the coach's struggle when he is working hard to train the club to perform well in the remaining matches so that they manage to finish in 6th place.

We'll see how Chelsea performs next season with their new coach, whether it can be better than Pochettino or worse than before because Chelsea has too high expectations and tends to fire the coach as quickly as possible if they don't meet expectations. Todd Boehly has not achieved success like the previous Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich because Todd Boehly wasted too much money by recruiting young players and easily changing coaches compared to what the previous owner did who understood the situation and was good at managing management so that Chelsea could be successful in his hands.

I already said before, that the problem in Chelsea is not about their coach, Chelsea tried to use many other coaches in the past after they stopped working with Potter but it didn't work for them and they still couldn't get good results in the Premier League and Chelsea is still far from the top of the table where they were before.
I think Tod Boehly has no idea about how to manage the team and the only thing he can do is to just spend money every season for rebuilding the team but in the end, they can't get good results.
 

I think a good coach is part of the problem of the Chelsea team, the problem of Chelsea team escalated when they sacked Thomas Tuchel as their manager they failed to replace him with a better experience coach who would have helped the team to get back to form because as at the time when Tuchel was having a difficult moment in winning matches the team was already struggling in all aspects the better Idea would have been given the manager a little more time until a better replacement is brought in.

Tod Boehly misunderstood the problem with the team at that time not that he couldn't manage the team,  as some one who wants fast results he swang into action to spend money thinking that getting some quality players and getting another manager would help to salvage the problem in the team but that didn't work at for the team but I think getting a good result for Chelsea is possible anyways especially seeing how they improved in their last few matches before the end of the season so hopefully they are going to have a good next season if they maintain their performance and the winning mentality they have got right now.

Now Chelsea has a new coach and I am pessimistic that Chelsea can recover in the near future.

In fact, Todd Boehly is not at fault regarding Chelsea's current failure, but for me this mistake occurred with Chelsea management who did not manage their finances well so they bought players who perhaps did not have good talent but instead were determined to buy these players while Todd Boehly just left all of this to management.
Meanwhile, the management mistake was even worse when he fired Pochettino who had worked hard to rebuild Chelsea's strongest performance and this is a big mistake that Chelsea has often experienced since last season, which is always trying to change the coach when they are trying to improve Chelsea's future and I agree with If Chelsea really wants to get good results, you should try to look at Manchester City, which has successfully won various titles just by retaining its old coach.

After the decision to sign Enzo Maresca as Chelsea's new coach, I hope that Chelsea management will retain the coach longer and give him the opportunity to realize Chelsea's dream which has been lost for the last 2 seasons and also hopefully Enzo Maresca can become a Chelsea coach who can be trusted for improve the club's performance in the future.

You should know that Erik ten Hag was successful in his first season at Manchester United, because Erik ten Hag managed to make Manchester United finish in third place in his first season.

But indeed, Chelsea also looks like they are making a big effort to get the right coach but unfortunately, Chelsea wants quick success, because Chelsea doesn't respect the process.

Chelsea performance this season is certainly beyond the expectations expected by the current management, so it is not surprising that Pochettino was sacked Although able to make Chelsea finish in the Conference League zone this season, Chelsea of course are now starting to build a squad with a strong foundation and also rely on young players so it is not surprising that Todd Boehly as the owner of Chelsea budgeted a lot of money to recruit talented young players,  not only young players, but now also Chelsea are starting to trust their long-term project to a young coach who does have a lot of experience.

Pochettino dismissal certainly indicates if the Chelsea owner is not satisfied with Pochettino performance, and we can say if with the big money that has been spent by Chelsea so far, of course the level of the Conference League zone is not what they expected, it seems that Chelsea management next season has high expectations and of course they want to get instant results and maybe even if Chelsea new coach will not last long at Chelsea if he Unable to meet the targets implemented by Todd Boehly.

They have money and unfortunately they just waste it on bringing in players who don't contribute much to Chelsea, and in fact most of the players they bring in are playing below their best. Obviously this is a useless thing that they do, because they spend a lot of money but they don't get anything in return for what they spend. they seem to be in a rush when bringing in players, that's the problem.

I would rather a team only bring in 2 to 3 players but make a big contribution to the game than bring in a lot of players but don't have any impact on the team. This is clearly something wrong that the management did because they did not consider it carefully when bringing in players. I hope they will be better when bringing in players, because what they are experiencing now should be a valuable lesson for them in the future.

Chelsea will now look for a new coach. It will not be easy for the new coach to stabilize the team. It needs time. So it seems very unlikely that we will see Chelsea in the top 4 of the table next season as well.

Chelsea management is surely the biggest issue right now with things are not going all well because they are doing tricks which are creating mess-up and no coach is happy now as Pochettino done good work and there were few hopes we will have Chelsea into top four suddenly things gone on wrong side, and we are having terrible resignation from him with now they are trying to have new coach with long term contract, but this is also not going to work as we are having Chelsea management.

In upcoming season, we will have again things on new level which could be not good because after challenging time Pochettino able to create good depth between players, and they give good results specially in last few weeks we have all wins which is amazing results but can we keep this all as we have right now it's a big question with no one having any update about this.

I agree with you. I think Pochettino has given his best this season. His performance deserves appreciation and is still worthy of being retained as a coach. Chelsea is building their squad. I think it will take years and have to be consistent. Like what City did by building a squad for years until they finally managed to get the treble winner. Enzo Maresca is a good coach. I can't wait to see his performance in pre-season.

[redsun114]

To me I don't really think the players or the coaches are to blame, who is the major cause of the struggling of Chelsea football club is the owners, they have practically reduced the club to an average club, why would they be buying young star that haven't been proven for a very large amount of money against the manager wish, and to make matter worse, they have practically interfere in every decision of the manager, and that is the main reason Thomas tuchel was sacked, because their was a pushback from him, he refused to concur to their style of doing things, so he was sacked.

Ok let's look at Mauricio pochettino, he took the Chelsea job as a yes man. initially they told him that he wouldn't have a say on who goes in and out of the club, and he agreed, but toward the end of the season when he kicked against the idea of selling Gallagher, he was sacked, so with this type of leadership, I don't see Chelsea achieving anything big, because their is too much interference and the owners wouldn't let his employees to do their jobs.

Yeah, with Chelsea current management is bringing serious trouble with this Elite Premier League club and as in current season many were feeling things are coming back to normal we are having another setback which is huge because sacking of Mauricio Pochettino is surely going to have big impact on their performance in coming season and things could be not at this level we will have decline which is going to be not ideal situation.

Chelsea current management doing things which are surely not good for having improvement in performance they are trying to change their business model as bringing new youngsters and selling them on high price which is completely different thing with their model which was run by Abramovich who soccer lover was and love to win trophies instead of having things like these which are done by current management.

Now Chelsea has a new coach and I am pessimistic that Chelsea can recover in the near future.

We are currently having two big clubs in Europe these are facing terrible time and things are not favourable for them in coming season as well with both management are doing mistakes which can ruin these clubs, and we can face consequences as well with Chelsea is having not good time in last few years after it's coming under Todd Boehly which is having no idea mind-set for the soccer club owner, and he is trying things which are not helpful for him and this club as well.

As we have results in last season if they allow Pochettino for another season surely things could be gone into positive way, and we have good improvement even few were expecting Chelsea can challenge for the top four but now suddenly we are on back foot and this is big downfall which can bring them down again because currently sixth spot is good, but this new turn can bring problematic time again.

[hyudien]

Aston Villa is a team that can improve every season. From the last 3 seasons, their position has always improved from mid-table, they could be in the European competition zone, and this season they are ranked in the top 4. This is something good that they can show in the midst of a competition that is actually not very easy for a team when competing in the Premier League. They are even better than other big teams by displaying good statistics too.
Next season they will be in the Champions League, I hope they can provide tough competition in the Champions League. Don't let them do nothing and just taste what it's like to compete in the Champions League. They have to make preparations starting from now, they also have to bring in several new players, because currently there are still many weaknesses that they have to fix, and these can be fixed by getting new players. Hopefully they can compete in the Champions League.

[Palakka]

Todd Boehly doesn't seem to understand how to build a team and Chelsea's management made a lot of mistakes so they are down like they are now, they don't want a process as if everything can be bought with money, that's a big mistake and if that can't be changed then forever Chelsea will not develop.

Everything takes a process and time to build a team, like what Manchester City did several seasons ago and Chelsea management should be able to do the same thing.
Now Chelsea has a new coach and I am pessimistic that Chelsea can recover in the near future.

The change of coach from Pochettino to Enzo of course still raises question marks for all of us, whether it will be a good and right way next season, so far we know Chelsea is a club that can indeed be said to be the favorite to win and of course they became a club that was quite respected when Abramovich was still the owner, but after Abramovich decided to sell Chelsea after all the political problems that befell him at that time,  Now when Chelsea are under new ownership, but Chelsea are in a slump and that is what makes management seem to want instant results at this time.

Football is certainly not a sport that can give instant results and I think Todd Boehly is not thinking about it, at the moment his goal is just to regain the trust of the fans and return to the top level of the Premier League is the only solution they have at the moment, building a strong team of course has a long process and Pochettino is actually starting to do it but it is Todd Boehly which dont care of course he immediately sacked Pochettino when the season ended.  

[Hyphen(-)]

Meanwhile, the management mistake was even worse when he fired Pochettino who had worked hard to rebuild Chelsea's strongest performance and this is a big mistake that Chelsea has often experienced since last season, which is always trying to change the coach when they are trying to improve Chelsea's future and I agree with If Chelsea really wants to get good results, you should try to look at Manchester City, which has successfully won various titles just by retaining its old coach.

I agree with you. I think Pochettino has given his best this season. His performance deserves appreciation and is still worthy of being retained as a coach. Chelsea is building their squad. I think it will take years and have to be consistent. Like what City did by building a squad for years until they finally managed to get the treble winner. Enzo Maresca is a good coach. I can't wait to see his performance in pre-season.

I wasn't also expecting Chelsea to sack Pochettino at the end of this season because he tried his best to bring glory back to Chelsea as he has strengthened the team by uniting the players and was able to return the team back to winning mentality, and he was able to secure a UEFA Europa League for the team next season after the team and their fans have no hope until the end.

The team management decided to sack him for their personal reasons and decided to sign Enzo Maresca from Leicester City; he is actually a good manager because he has won the championship with Leicester City and he was under Pep Guardiola at City before joining Leicester City.
The Chelsea management needs to give this new manager chance to rebuilt his team, next season's results should not made them decide early.
