Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Hyphen(-)]

Chelsea management did gave Graham Potter time though, how well did he do the job? They gave him too much tike but he did flop and let down the management.
Todd Boehly is good with selling and making profits from players but I feel like he should just play hus role as CEO and allow those who are experienced in that field do their work for the club.

Graham Potter was not given too much time but the little time they gave him, he miss used it because many fans believed in him before they signed him from Brighton; when he joined them, his performance and reputation as a good coach drops until he get sacked.

Todd Boehly has never gain when it comes to transfer of player because since he joined the team, he and his management has been spending money to buy reputable players, but sold out some average players with low market value.

Why the Comparisons between Arsenal and Chelsea?

Arsenal knows they have a good manager for longer term plans, as for Chelsea I can't say, I'm just keen to see how Enzo Maresca performance for the club.
I'm sure in my heart that he'll definitely be successful with that.

If Chelsea has given Pochettihnho time, he could have done more in the coming season, but they sacked him just because they are eying young coach that they feel will do some good jobs just as Arteta is used to do; they can now give Enzo Maresca some time to build the team.

In this situation we know that for this season and precisely at the end of the season Chelsea did not sack Poche but indeed Poche left on the basis of his own wishes where he preferred to resign rather than be at Chelsea next season.

Even if in the end Chelsea tried to keep Pochettino it would not be much different because Poche would still leave because there were several reasons that he must have including his relationship with Todd which was a little tenuous from mid-season.

This is a natural condition where surely he is not too willing with a big burden for Chelsea because seeing from the current situation for Chelsea coaches they are required to make performance improvements in their conditions which still need clear adaptation which will be very difficult to do even though the resources are abundant and any player they can buy but with less adaptation things like this are clearly a pressure on the coach's mentality.

[Alpha Marine]

Chelsea is currently starting to lean towards building a totality team with a young squad, but I don't think that guarantees that they can succeed if there is no support from experienced players, Pochettino has certainly built a strong foundation at Chelsea today but indeed it is still not satisfactory enough for Todd Boehly, I think if Chelsea wants to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City again,  Of course they must be able to create better squad depth but still all of that requires a long process like what Arsenal has done so far.

Chelsea are going about it the wrong way. You don't build a team in just one season. I still don't get how they didn't learn from their mistakes the first time. You can't buy a bunch of potential players and expect them to be perfect together. A team is built with time.

When Boehly first took over, he should have made 5 signings at most. Out of those five 3 should have been world-class players why 2 can be potential players. Then the next season they can make 3 or 4 more signings, both world-class and young potential players. Also, they should be recruiting for their youth and teenage team too.
If they have done that, they'll have made 8-9 signings in the past 2 seasons and this season they'll just be looking for more players to strengthen their squad.
This way you'll find out that in 2 years they have filled up every area on the pitch with quality players and still have quality squad depth on the bench.

Right now, Chelsea is in a confused state and they're just signing different young players. Most of those young players are like shitoins, they won't turn out to be anything, Over a billion pounds spent yet they still don't have a world-class squad, that's pitiful.

Each club has its own way and policy in evaluating a coach performance, whether it is worth retaining or not. In this case, Pochettino was deemed to have failed to meet expectations so separation was inevitable. Arsenal did not act as aggressively as Chelsea, Arteta is still considered worthy of being kept, even though last season he failed to win a trophy, Arteta has shown signs of success. It is understandable that the two teams do not need to be compared, they will try to fight in their own way, and indeed Arsenal is currently better than Chelsea. Next season Enzo Maresca will be faced with a number of heavy burdens, bringing Chelsea to compete in the top four of the standings and finishing there when the season ends. To become a team challenging for the title, I think Chelsea still needs time, Arsenal and Manchester City still seem to be the most serious competitors.

Todd Boehly is good with selling and making profits from players but I feel like he should just play hus role as CEO and allow those who are experienced in that field do their work for the club.

Graham Potter did is best but just that the club is cursed and even Chelsea fans are cursed because for some time now they have been serious struggling in Chelsea despite the spending and changing of coaches but nothing changed. That's what everyone will think that Graham Potter did not do his job. But been a coach comes with a lot of work that people don't really see only coaches. Talk of the pressure and more but since that is what the management wants. Then who is going to oppose them. Todd Boehly actually needs to focus on what he knows how to do. Chelsea's problem is beyond coach problem.

Why the Comparisons between Arsenal and Chelsea?

Arsenal knows they have a good manager for longer term plans, as for Chelsea I can't say, I'm just keen to see how Enzo Maresca performance for the club.
I'm sure in my heart that he'll definitely be successful with that.

I don't  know why people will be comparing arsenal and Chelsea i can say that for the past two seasons now Arsenal have actually did more compare to Chelsea. Chelsea that even Aston villa is better than currently just because of what they are facing they need to work harder even to be in Arsenal's position. Chelsea needs to start learning from Arsenal because Chelsea is lacking behind in so many aspects. They need to get back in action or they are done for good.

[TopT3ns]

I'm Chelsea fan, and I've watched how my club have surpassed the struggling limits and now settled for lesser poor results. This is out of the picture and I've come to realized that time is perfectly the stable form ought to be give to these assigned coaches. But everything turn up against our expectations, we're seeing different outcome. Chelsea is elite team but everything worked smoothly during the era of Abramovic, he made good use of his players and signed appropriate talent players. Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly is impatience and have placed down the instructed maps.

Chelsea are no longer like they were in the era you mentioned. The change of coach made their performance fall apart and they were no longer strong. Currently Chelsea is under the coaching of Enzo Maresca. Maybe it still takes more time for Chelsea to recover from the downturn they are experiencing. We must continue to provide full support for the efforts made by Chelsea.

[Weawant]

Yeah right. When it comes to management one person cannot do it all alone. And there are persons who are gifted or should i say talented in some specific areas. Since the management of a club comprises of management of the players and management of the affairs of the club. A coach should be given full right to manage the players given to him to work with. He should have the right to decide who to choose to join the team so that such players will execute the plans he had for the team. Most time the player given to a coach is one that has been highly hyped which is not what the coach wants for the team yet he will have no choice but to manage such players.

Generally managing a team comes with a whole lot and that is why it's further divided into segments one of which is the management of the players usually headed by a coach, to be very particular there's a head coach underneath which are his assistants and other crew members who help to make coaching a bit easier because if the complete management of the players is left to the head coach alone,

 I doubt if he will be able to completely handle the players week enough a d still get to meet up with other aspects of his job because I believe beyond player management, the coach still have other things he is supposed to handle in the team and that's where the Assistant and other crew members comes in. The liberty of the coach to pick players who he thinks he can work with at any particular time is not always given completely but then, it will actually go a long way helping the coach get to been able to put the team in the best shape and getting the kind of results be desires to get a d that which is expected of him by the management.

Sometimes it could be that the team is trying to achieve a certain goal and would bring in certain players for the coach to work with and for reasons of abuse of power, sometimes, some teams don't give the coach the Total power to manage, rather they give him the limited power which allows the top management bring in players they wish to add to the team, especially those who they believe will deliver. Every coach who is in charge of such teams, most times must have agreed to the policies already before taking the job.

Chelsea need a very good coach like Zidane,Xavi or Xabi Alonso to make things better at that club,they threw away a very good coach they had in Tuchel,and went for rubbish that's why they are now suffering to get someone better.They so much believe in this new coach because he was a student under Pep,and so they feel he will do thesame thing Arteta is doing,but they maybe wrong if they think like that because Arteta had a very similar view about football just like Pep did,so getting success immediately he got to Arsenal is something he had already known.But Enzo Maresco might be trying to immitate Pep,and he may end up going to the religation zone.

Why all these? You talk about Chelsea and you forget that both the owner and the fans are desperate set of people, they can't learn until they are close to the relegation zone without escape. When trying to build a strong team it takes time, that you are right but in this CFC they want it to be done as soon as the season begins, that's bad and unhealthy for a club like Chelsea. Past glory is all they see nothing more and I feel bad when such a team always miss out in the UCL each season.
Todd Boehly saw Chelsea football club as a business ground where whenever he blinks money pours out of nowhere, the down fall of Chelsea started when the current owner talking about Todd Boehly sacked all the staff that was working very hard to make things be in a good shape and now he doesn't know how to correct those mistakes, getting the right people to work with is the problem instead he's running around signing players that can't make the team stronger.

Todd Boehly and the American owners have continuously made wrong and somewhat hasty decisions since taking over Chelsea. Todd Boehly changed the Blues' player recruitment philosophy. They only sign young players with potential like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, or Nicolas Jackson. This policy is counterproductive because the importance of experienced players is overlooked. To achieve success, along with a winning mentality, players need experience. Young talents are never guaranteed immediate success. And Todd Boehly changed coaches too quickly. Coaches need time to train and arrange these young recruits.

That's why I think Chelsea made a mistake with its recruitment policy. From the beginning of the season, everyone saw that Chelsea were not title challengers. This is the first lesson for the American boss - the Premier League has never been a land of easy money! Two consecutive failed seasons are more than enough for a club to fall behind in both position and finances.

[TelolettOm]

Actually Pochettino was not so bad he just didn’t meet up the conditions set for him that was what made him to be sacked. Looking at how the team performed and ended the season we all saw the improvement but for me personally i am not convinced because he still has the problem of being able to manage the players properly especially when there are lots of players to select from, he is still unable to select a preferred eleven and thats a major problem as a coach.

Yes, that's why Pochettino was quite annoyed and disappointed with Chelsea's decision. But basically, each team has a certain target. And if the target is not appropriate, the club will definitely consider it more deeply, right? Moreover, Chelsea considers that the tactics used by Pochettino while he was Chelsea coach were considered quite old-fashioned so the results were not as expected. What do you think about this?

However, all of this actually has various pros and cons at Chelsea itself. In the end, both of them still have the same decision. And Pocehttino leaving Chelsea is the best way for them.

Chelsea need a very good coach like Zidane,Xavi or Xabi Alonso to make things better at that club,they threw away a very good coach they had in Tuchel,and went for rubbish that's why they are now suffering to get someone better.

Yes, Zidane has been linked with Chelsea or the Premier League several times. but once again, as has been reported, he will not be a coach for the EPL. As for the others, of course many are also disappointed why Chelsea chose a coach who is considered not to have much experience in training a top coach. But basically, Chelsea sees that Moresca's potential is very good, it's just that he doesn't have the opportunity to manage a big club. And Chelsea believes that Chelsea really suits Moresca's tactical style.

Now, they are working.
One of the player signed is Marc Guiu, a young striker of Barcelona. They have reached an agreement on a contract until June 2030. Yes, this is a fairly long contract, perhaps because he is only 18 years old so there is definitely still a lot of opportunity to develop optimally.

The problem that Chelsea fans and probably Chelsea management will keep having is when they continue to believe that Chelsea is that elite club that they used to brag about. Chelsea has left that level of elite club and they are just like any other average club in the English Premier League. It is simple, if you are not within the top four of the English Premier League for more than two seasons, you are off the competition. It takes money, good coaching and good players to bring back such a club to become an elite club. The best you can do is to fantasize your history and keep dwelling in that if you don't want to embrace the reality. What is the reality? The reality is that Chelsea Football club need to plan a long-term measure to return the club to the elite club it used to be. First they need to stabilise one coach throughout the reformation and not change coaches like as we change clothes. Todd should know about this and act accordingly.

In the last few seasons we have seen Manchester City single-handedly dominate the English Premier League so we will definitely want a new team to do well in the English Premier League this season. Arsenal and Liverpool must do well next season and should do well next season they must dominate the Premier League. Our expectations are always higher for Arsenal than Liverpool because Arsenal is the only team that regularly competes with Manchester City in the English Premier League. The main competition of the Premier League will resume once the Copa America and Euro stages are over.

Maybe if Liverpool are still coached by Klopp next season then I will have a little hope for Liverpool to be able to compete with Arsenal and Man City next season. But because now Liverpool is no longer coached by Klopp and will be coached by Arne Slot then I probably won't can expect too much from Liverpool's new coach. I don't know this coach very well. So I can't judge anything about it for Liverpool next season.

But yes, we can still hope that Arsenal will be able to stop the dominance created by Man City in the last few seasons. Last season Arsenal also almost won the title. Although in the end Arsenal failed because they only lacked a few points. But yeah, next season, maybe Man City will have to prepare to see their place taken by Arsenal.

Arsenal and Liverpool must do well next season and should do well next season they must dominate the Premier League.

I don't think, Manchester city will allow such dominate to happen in this season, because their manager is fully ready to introduce more tactics that will boost Manchester city players skills to display what people have never seen before in the premier league competition. Even though, new team will going to dominate next season, i think it will be Arsenal and they will definitely going to end up in second position next season again, because Manchester city know how to over take them before the end of the tournament which you can flash back to know what Manchester city did to Arsenal and Liverpool last season and this season. If you know the kind Players in Manchester city in this season, you will believe that what happened in this season will definitely going to happen in next season for Manchester city to win the premier league title again.

Everyone applauded Pochettino towards the end of the season, so everyone expected Chelsea to keep him. It was a shock to everyone to see them sack Pochettino. Let’s just hope the new coach performs better.

They couldn’t keep him because he couldn’t meet the demands of the management but he still tried his best though.

And even I can't say that Pochettino left Chelsea because he was fired. But it seems that Pochettino and Chelsea have agreed not to continue working together based on differences in understanding or something similar in building the Chelsea squad. And yes, Pochettino already feels there is nothing he can continue if he can't use his methods. So he chose to end his coaching career at Chelsea. because I'm pretty sure the club is quite reluctant to let go of Pochettino. it's just that they may fail to make an agreement due to a difference in thought or method. Because in the news it was stated that Pochettino left Chelsea based on mutual agreement and not because of a unilateral decision.

Enzo Maresca will do a better job, everyone knows that because he's promising and have handled a team populated with young talents that are yet to expose. The new coach will always know the sectors to exert full concentration because Chelsea team is in shackles handled by young players that most of them are yet to enter their peak stage. Mauricio Pochettino relieved from his managerial duties was rather consider to be drastical decision for the club. This have been one of the disturbing performing stats for the club but they will do better next season.

People have the misconception that when we talk about experienced players we're referring to old and 30+ players. Many experienced players are 25-28 years old. Players that can give you 4-6 years of top-level football. Those are the kind of players Chelsea are supposed to be going after, instead, they sign only players that are 22 and below. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but when the whole team is filled with kids, they can't succeed.
If we look at the players Chelsea have signed since this new management took up, they're more than 20. How do you sign over 20 players yet none of them is a proven world-class player? What do they win to achieve? They can't be title contenders with a squad like that, they may manage to get to the top 6 and with a very good manager they might get the top 4 but they won't contend for the title.

Chelsea has long become like an experiment, they change things too often, which is why the experienced players you are talking about either left the team or don’t really want to participate in it. We don’t know how good Maresca will be in Chelsea, but he won the Championship with Leicester, which is more of an achievement, but the Premier League is a tournament of a different level and what may have worked with Leicester will not work with Chelsea, which is very much inferior in squard to the top teams.

Mauricio Pochettino relieved from his managerial duties was rather consider to be drastical decision for the club. This have been one of the disturbing performing stats for the club but they will do better next season.

Chelsea management actually took the decision too quickly by firing Pochettino. Chelsea should give Pochettino a longer chance to adapt more optimally and better understand the character of his players. The reason is that Pochettino almost found a very neat scheme with Chelsea. It is proven that at the end of this season Chelsea's performance has indeed improved drastically. But unfortunately Chelsea management doesn't see this, they think Pochettino has failed to make Chelsea a great team. In fact, if you look deeper, Pochettino's struggle with Chelsea is actually still in its early stages. But it can't be helped, now Pochettino has officially been fired from Chelsea's coaching chair. So currently Chelsea is starting from zero with a new coach (Enzo Maresca).

Enzo Maresca is also a very great coach, because this season he succeeded in bringing Leicester City to qualify for the Premier League (division one). But still, no matter how great a coach is, it definitely takes a long process to make a football team into a truly great team. Therefore, this season Chelsea will certainly start from zero with Enzo Maresca, the point is that Chelsea cannot immediately become a team that competes with the top teams in the Premier League next season. My prediction is that maybe from the middle of the season Chelsea will be able to show their best performance and be able to compete with the top teams in the Premier League. That is if Enzo Maresca can really adapt quickly with the Chelsea players. However, if the adaptation is slow enough, I am sure Chelsea's performance will take a long time to reach its best performance.
