Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I don't know what Chelsea aim to achieve with all these players they are signing but I don't think it will make any changes. For the past few months, Chelsea have signed more than enough players as if they are attempting to change the entire squad. I don't know whether they have no intention of using the old players. I just hope the expenses will not be in vain.

They have so many players, right now Chelsea have 3 good goalkeepers: Sanchez, Kepa and Petrovic, now they want to add one more which is Filip Jørgensen.

Most of top teams only have 2 goalkeepers, only few teams have 3 goalkeepers, having 4 goalkeepers when all of them are available is really wasting time and money.

If they plan to sell or loan their players, it doesn't that easy except they don't mind to trade in loss.

Chelsea have bad started on two pre season matches after getting bad result being draw by Football League one team Wrexham A.F.C and last match defeated by Celtic over 1-4.
I watched second pre season match when Chelsea defeating by Celtic and their performance very bad without organizing the games plan exactly with defense position. Maybe Enzo Maresca still make many rotation before finding the regular players for next season and still waiting some players returning back to the club after playing for their national team.

Enzo Maresca four pre season matches left before facing Manchester City on the first Premier League match, he must find right composition players and have good start if want secure the top fourth target by management or possibility sack from his position if Chelsea get bad start on the Premier League match.

Chelsea's pre season matches result

• Chelsea 2 vs 2 Wrexham A.F.C
• Chelsea 1 vs 4 Celtic

I can understand the bad results, Enzo Maresca has just coached Chelsea and he needs some information to be able to formulate a strategy so what happened can't conclude anything, in fact I think the bad results can be a benchmark for Enzo Maresca to be able to build the Chelsea team when the season starts later.

It's too early to say Enzo Maresca was fired because the tasks and burdens carried by Enzo Maresca are not easy, he handled a Chelsea team that was already very depressed so Chelsea management must give Enzo Maresca time to start the process to be able to build this team.
I think Enzo Maresca has the quality as a pretty good coach and we just need to wait for Enzo Maresca to prove it with Chelsea.

Even with all the players they have signed so far, they still haven't won a single pre season game and that isn't looking like a good return for their investment in players so far. The most recent signing I a goal keeper, maybe they are preparing their grounds if keper moves as intended, they wouldn't be left in a situation where they will have to struggle with looking around for a replacement, but the signings have actually been much and the old players aren't really moving, they still are very much available so its not looking like they want to change the entire squad probably want to have a good squad that will be on the standby.

Actually it's surprising despite I know that some players deserve no space in the first eleven. The likes of Badiasheli and Sanchez are not too good enough to reserve a slot in the first squad but Gallagher and Chalobah were very good last season and should not be allowed to pathway especially in a trying time like for them.

I haven't watched that guy Badiasheli or whatever they call him closely, but I do feel like Trevor Chalobah, is a better defender than Fofana and Disasi honestly. I'm not blue fan, but, I see all these things.
The goalkeeper Sanchez has got to be a huge fraud! Jesus Christ, that guy should be the first to be sold out completely. They shouldn't have brought him in the first place.

Todd Boehly is one man that wants profits. He has done well with players who all came from the academy or during the time of Thomas Tuchel.
Gallagher did well, and was consistent for them last season, at some point I considered him the best midfieder for Chelsea last season. He's been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, I know he'll be sold and the same goes for Chalobah.

Raheem Sterling is another name to be sold, I don't know why they still want him around though.
