Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

If what you guys mean by interesting is the speed at which Southampton responded to Chelsea's goal and them leading with just few minutes to the first half, the  I'll understand else, the game has been very dull and uninteresting. Like, what's Chelsea rally playing today. Imagine Raheem Sterling missing 2 solid chances only to score 1. Not to mention the K. Hervats miss as well. The defence have been very poor, crowded themselves in the Small 6 yard box while allowing the Southampton players to work free.
Same mistake with Lavia's goal and they repeated the same thing with Armstrong. They've just been playing so weak in this game @Chelsea.

On Paper, Chelsea has really good defensive midfielder and defenders but I guess practically there must be either something wrong with their tactics or just easily being countered by Southampton's style of play. I mean, Cucurella, Koulibaily, Silva and Azpilicueta. Can't get much better than that. Strange that they can't restrict their opponents to 1 goal or less. Loftus Cheek goes off and Kovacic is subbed in, lets see if he can make the difference for Chelsea.

[KTChampions]

1-2 in the 53rd minute, Chelsea are losing so far and the odds of them winning are rated as 4 by the bookmakers. Not very good for my multi bet  Is there a chance to see a comeback today? Chelsea are dominant in possession, maybe they can convert that into goals. Otherwise, if Chelsea don't win today, they will give to United's victory more value.

[FlamingFingers]

Chelsea are down by two goals to one, Mason mount Reuben loftus cheek, are all average players and can’t improve even if they have been in Chelsea for more than 5 years. Average English players hyped by their media. I dont know why this man keeps buying defenders ,what chelsea needs now is a good striker and a creative dmf

[snipie]

Chelsea trailed by one goal at the halftime break, which Armstrong scored in the extra time. Chelsea must struggle to get at least a point because Southampton appears to be very strong, and they, like Chelsea, require three points. With the way the game is going, Chelsea could end up losing if proper adjustments are not made.

Chelsea is struggling vs Southampton right now.. They are 1 goal behind (1-2) after 55 minutes, their odds jumped to 4.2 vs 2 for Southampton. Even if they equalize, 1 point isn't a good thing for them and they will be 4 points far from the rest by the end of this round..
Otherwise in the other games, Everton, Brighton and Fulham are leading with 1 goal in their matches.

Chelsea vs Southampton is an interesting match that will determine if truly Chelsea will survive in this season or not, because Southampton will never allow Chelsea to win this match than to make it draw 1-1. Southampton coach is not too happy about the results they got from this season that made many people to doubt their winning in this match because their strikers are still struggle to score goals in this season.

so far Chelsea just lost (3-0) from Leeds and drew (2-2) from Tottenham...

for the match against Southampton this time, I believe Chelsea can get full points and go home with a win. last April, Chelsea won 6-0 from Southampton, but this time chelsea has a different composition of players, winning by a thin score (2-0) may be what Chelsea will get (sterling scores 1 goal, wondering if there will be another goal created).

There were too many expectations from Chelsea in this season but after losing against Leeds United it's surely having not positive thing with Tottenham draw and now Southampton mean points deficit is increasing, and now they are losing their ground for top two positions even it's just end of fifth round but look like things are not favorable for them, they need to work on defense which is not in better shape from the start of this season and having too many goals against average teams like Leeds United and now Southampton.

Even Tuchel consistently saying they need some more players for having better results but right now chances are not good enough for them to have quality players and with this all they can suffer badly in Champions League as well with now they are losing the chance for staying into top four with current performance.

Chelsea was playing well until they did the first goal. But suddenly their performance deteriorated. Players lose trucks. Chelsea players should play with a certain strategy. Both of Southampton's goals were outstanding. Chesley had 9 players in the D-box at the time of the first goal of Southampton, and about 6 players in the D-box at the time of the second goal. But Chesley's defenders looked like they had nothing to do here. I don't see any chance of winning the match if we play like this. Tuchel should now turn his full attention to strengthening his defense.

Tuchel is not only obliged to strengthen the defense but also have to improve the attack by including some fast players. I think Tuchel could use Pulisic in a situation like this, he looks like a perfect fit to replace one of the Chelsea strikers at the moment. At the moment Chelsea have 30 minutes to score but their efforts so far have failed as Southampton look set to hold on to this lead.

the first coaching sacking in the premier league has now been completed. the promoted club from the southwest of england afc bournemouth ended on tuesday the cooperation with the 41-year-old coach Scott Parker. SP had taken over the club in the summer of 2021 and led it to the premier league (2nd place/88 points championship)

Scott Parker, it is too long from the time he was bought by Chelsea as one of promising midfielder in Premier League but he did never get a success in Chelsea as a player. It is very long time and I did not know he is the coach of Bournemouth but it is sad to know he was sacked.

The generation of 1980 players now coaches don't actually have success in their coach career. Lampard, Rooney, Gerrad, Viera, Giggs, Solskajer, etc. They are old great players but it seems they are struggling with coach career.

I predicted Manchester United's coach Ten Hag would be the first manager to be sacked but it turned out to be Scott Parker. Starting the season with three losses is really a bad way to begin not to talk more of conceiving nine goals in a games,l that's devastating. The club couldn't take it and had to part ways with the current coach.

Right now, four matches are in progress with three home teams are leading and one team Leeds United is trailing against Everton which is having no win from their first four matches of this season even we have 35 minutes left in this match, and it's right now in complete control of Leeds United but still good defense from Everton side is enough for them to stay in good position after taking early lead through Gordon goal.

In another good match between Southampton vs Chelsea after 70 minutes home team leading by 2 - 1 with Tuchel done few changes and Pullsic is on ground for having some better effort for equalizer in another match Crystal Palace were doing good but 88th minute goal from Brentford steal their game and now at level with 1 - 1.

Edit: Leeds United done equalizer through Sinisterra in 55th minute.

I can say Tuchel has more problems in the attack than he has in the defence. Koulibaly and Silva are doing well as the duo can be said to be bullies to the strikers. Even the Chelsea midfield needs attention, in the absence of Kante, Galagher got red carded. He got red card as his team mate Koulibaly came back from red card suspension. It seems that the overall Chelsea team is not balanced yet.

Fulham somehow became a very strong team to beat Brighton in today's match. This season's promoted team cannot be underestimated by any team as they don't seem to be wasting any chance to get points. They get maximum points against Brentford and Brighton, while 1 point against Wolves. Even Arsenal had been thrown into chaos when Fulham took the lead in the 56th minute of the previous match, but Arsenal were lucky to take advantage a few minutes before the match ended.

In another good match between Southampton vs Chelsea after 70 minutes home team leading by 2 - 1 with Tuchel done few changes and Pullsic is on ground for having some better effort for equalizer in another match Crystal Palace were doing good but 88th minute goal from Brentford steal their game and now at level with 1 - 1.

Chelsea lose this midweek due to difficulty scoring against Southampton. This is an unpleasant situation for Chelsea considering they do not appear consistent in every match. 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw is a disappointing result, so don't know if they can be relied on as title challengers this season.

[Joca97]

What a win by Fulham and they continue their amazing form this league in the premier league. Also Aleksandar Mitrovic continues to dominate on the field and if he didnt miss that penalty against Wolves he would have scored in every single match in the premier league. I think we can expect a lot more from him this season

[FlamingFingers]

It must be frustrating for this Chelsea new owner, the more he invest the more the team is sinking. Despite investing heavily in the defence line, that department still look like that of  millwall Fc......or is it that Tuchel tactics are becoming stale, maybe he needs to reinvent himself or elso he joins Scot Parker as Co-admin of " sacked manager's. This is all on Tuchel! Why keep kovacic? When got so lucky against leceister City but tonight they are like a team in disarray. No time to experiment in Premier league, u need play your best all time, like someone said, Tuchel is feeling so relaxed compared to Abramovich era, when every losses is like a wasted life line.

Come to think of it, what is wrong with Tuchel? Why does he have Armando Broja on the bench with the performance K  Hervats have been giving in the past games? Does he have to try so much before realising that K. Harvetz and M. Mount aren't doing anything in that attack? I think Tuchel is the constituting his own problems by not making proper and timely substitution. Christian Pulisic on the other hand was unable to stand and play. His ball controls where totally out of place and he was easily muscled away from the ball.
The Southampton team surely deserved this win and it was a very good one from them.

[Zackgeno96]

Chelsea are not doing well this season. Made a lot of purchases lately, but what is the end result? Played 5 games and only 7 points. Very unworthy of Chelsea. It could be that they now win 10 times in a row, but playing football so close to the transfer deadline is never fun I think. And they don't know yet what will happen to Ziyech. I have the feeling that Chelsea lacks a real goal-gatter up front, like Barcelona has now with Lewandovsky. That young German has too little experience in my view. This could be a very difficult season for Chelsea.

Fulham comes to Premier league to stay, they are here to compete for Champions league spot, because the way they are playing really showed that they came well prepared, they only lose to Arsenal this season and their striker Mitrovich has continued his form by scoring in almost all their match.
Chelsea on the other hand has lose again for the second time this season, I think right now, Tuchel tactics need to questioned because we can all see that the team lack attacking ability, they really need to improve if not, the season will not go well for them.

Chelsea losing to Southampton really a bad results for both the club and the manager. Thomas Tuchel needs more centre back in the team and also creative Midfielders in the team. Infact all their players need needs backup especially the Midfield and Frontline. Kai havertz needs a good and sharp replacement, the same thing goes to Kante. Talking about Fulham, their form this season is massive and they are always ready to put any stunt on any club that opposes them. As a matter of fact, Fulham might finish top 6 this season only if they are consistent in winning games.

[JoyMarsha]

Southampton has always been a threat to Chelsea in the premier league. They either win Chelsea or draw with them.
It is very appalling that Chelsea has lost 2 of their match in their 5 opening games. If Chelsea continues to play like this, they won't be able to get close to the 4th position of the premier league this season.
It's bad that Chelsea players no longer score as they suppose to or dominating their opponents on possession again.

Today's match will be an eye opener to Tuchel and the new Chelsea owner. England football has changed. No team is guaranteed any position again. You shouldn't be surprised to hear that Newcastle has beaten Manchester City. Manchester United won Southampton weekend and today Southampton defeated Chelsea. This is why every game matters. Any club that does not pick up now might not pick up again.

Southampton had a better defense. I was expecting a strong comeback in the second half but the best part of the match was held by Southampton. Most of Chelsea attempts were stopped by Southampton defense. It was a deserve win for Southampton.

I don't know why when you see the promotion team at the start of the season, they always look very good and it's not impossible that they can survive in a tough league at this time.
We can see now that Fulham at the start of this season are still playing quite well even if we look at their 5 games, 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss obviously this is something quite good in my opinion.
But indeed this is just the beginning, they must continue to be consistent in this matter in order to at least be in the middle of the board.
