Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

They are just terrible. Mistake after mistake for Chelsea and i think some big changes needs to happen in this team and management. Joao Felix already dissapointed the fans and the club with a red card that killed the game for them. Fulhams dreams for europe are real now.

Chelsea's strength weakened after Felix was hit by a red card. Even though Chelsea are not as strong as they used to be, they are really under-performing this season. Actually, Chelsea's game has started to improve enough after the goal from Koulibaly. However, that alone is not enough, moreover their performance has dropped dramatically when playing with only 10 players for more than 30 minutes. Chelsea's 2-1 defeat of Fulham added to their long list of bad games this season. In the last 5 matches, they have only been able to win once.

The red card was not the beginning of the fall of Chelsea in that match. They had the ball possession and higher number of goal attempt, but they refused to play like the Champions we used to know. Fulham was the better team before the red card based on my expectations in that match because they showed more desperation to win. Joao Felix's red card complicated the whole issues but the truth is that Chelsea might go on relegation if the continue this way. Ten premiership games with just one win, is the result or statistics of a relegation bound team. Maybe the forced possession of the club by the English government is hunting the club. Maybe the ghost of Roman Abramovich should be appeased  .

Graham Potter would be wondering if he’s jinxed at the moment with these injuries and the red card to Felix. Everything isn’t just working out right for him so far at Chelsea. Honestly I am tempted to say that Todd and Graham Potter are badluck to Chelsea, nothing seems to be working for them. Joao Felix was the best player on the field and now he was sent off. I can't wait for this phase to be over.

There are difficult times in football, and perhaps it is Chelsea's turn to have a disastrous season.

I expected Chelsea to win today, but injuries in the team contributed to their lack of creativity; additionally, Joao Felix had an unlucky start in the Premier League, as he was sent off in his first Premier League match after joining Chelsea two days earlier from Atletico Madrid.


Chelsea still has time to sign more players during this transfer window to help make up for their gaps, or they will risk missing out on a spot in the Champions League or Europa League next season.

Bringing in more players will only throw away even more of their money. They also had to know how many players they had brought in since Potter had been here.
I think that instead of doing that it's better to maximize what is already there because this can be something better than bringing in more players who don't really need to.

Chelsea are very down with this defeat because they have bought several new players with quite a lot of money but still cannot get a win in this match, so this shows that what Chelsea is doing to defend its defense is useless because they lost the match against Fullham which in my opinion is still easy to beat.

In the Carabao Cup match, in fact, Man City had to submit with a score of 2 goals from Southampton, even though statistically Man City was declared superior. Southampton's players only had a few chances and no more shots on target than Man City. Maybe this will be a reference for Erik Ten Hag in hosting Man City at Old Trafford later. At least with a strategy that can be said to be able to shut down the movement of Haaland and friends like what Southampton did.

Gourdiola didn't start the duo of Kevin DeBryne and Haaland in yesterday's match but the duo came on later unfortunately they couldn't the situation to get at least a draw eventually lost the match, honestly it's a good tactical approach deployed by Southampton and hopefully Erik Ten Hag might take a clue from that match to stop Man City this weekend with Rashford spearheading their attack and in-form by scoring goals consistently, Man Utd might sit back to defend and launch counter attack aggressively against their opponent, I believe that is best tactic to stop Man City else their opponent attack is very strong and can score goals freely at any attempt.

Maybe Guardiola was preserving his key players for the coming fixture against Manchester United in the weekend and felt the second team would be able to get the job done against premier league co competitors but the result came shocking and I'm sure Guardiola didn't expect the outcome to be a lose. Now they  will want to come all out against United and I hope United will not go and seat at the back and let Manchester City pressure them for 90minutes. Guardiola's defense is weak and needs to be strengthened.

In my opinion, this is an abysmal performance from Manchester City, and I have to say that Southampton were also very lucky in front of the goal as well. The two goals scored by Southampton in the 23rd and 28th minutes of the match gave them a huge morale boost and for the rest of the game the coach wanted his team to defend those two goals, which they were able to do successfully. It is important that Erik Ten Hag takes note of how Southampton played and applies those tactics against Manchester City in their next game.

Chelsea steps further away to be able to dream of playing in the Champions League next season. This result had an impact not only on the Chelsea camp but the fans who hoped that Felix's arrival could give a new color instead gave a bad color. Being rewarded with a red card is clearly not a positive thing but it has brought Graham Potter closer to his tenure. Losing to Fulham was very disappointing, with these results Chelsea had to bury their dreams. Continuing in 10th place in the standings is definitely not what Chelsea wants. lol

Obviously this defeat is very disappointing but there is nothing to do, the fact that Chelsea has not found his best performance

It seems that the black clouds are still reluctant to leave Chelsea. The series of bad results experienced by the Blues seemed to never end. The Blues are lying again at home to Fulham and making it even more difficult for Chelsea to compete.

Potter's heart was really very miserable and his fate was already on the edge. Even though he has brought in a number of new players but has not been able to have a positive impact on the team. Felix is a talented young player but it's a shame his debut had to be tarnished by a direct red card.

If you want to save Chelsea, management must immediately fire Potter. Now is the right time to appoint a new manager as it coincides with the transfer market opening and has enough time to catch up in the second half of the season.

Actually, Chelsea didn't have enough morale boost in this game against Fulham. You know Chelsea are currently going through a really tough phase after the new coach, Graham Potter took over. On the other hand, on top of that last week they lost to Manchester City twice in a row. If they somehow managed to win this game against Fulham they could have brought back their morale boost but they failed to do so.

It is very far for Chelsea to get into the Champions League next season because their form has been very bad this season, even during this season.
Losing to Fullham kept Chelsea in 10th place in the standings which is impossible to compete at the top of the standings considering the huge difference in points with those at the top,
looks like Joao Felix forgot. That he had been sent to Chelsea and thought he was still playing at Athletico Madrid  , and the continued negative results at Chelsea would give Potter a sleepless night as Chelsea need a big name coach to manage Chelsea. And sacking Thomas Tuchel too soon will be a lesson for Chelsea.

Chelsea's failure in the away game with Fulham was not only about their morale, but also because of factors that occurred in the match itself which was in the second half after Chelsea equalized through Kalidou Koulibaly's goal. In the 56th minute Denis Zakaria was injured and had to be substituted and added another player's red card (Joao Felix) in the 58th minute which made the Fulham team more profitable and also easy to win the game even though the ball possession was not much different for the two.

Zakaria was injured, which is why he was subbed off. It was Joao Felix's first appearance as a Chelsea player that resulted in a red card. The debut of Joao Felix was good apart from the red card. As soon as the red card was shown, everyone returned to their positions. It's hard to say whether Chelsea's embarrassing defeats are due to the manager or the players. While no one is happy with the result, it's clear this is not just their season. There is a bouncer needed for Chelsea; they are getting beaten up. Next season will hopefully be better. Once again, Potter has demonstrated that he lacks the experience to manage a large team, and Fulham has shown that they are the landlords.

Statistically, Chelsea was superior to Fulham in this match, but that alone was not enough to get them points because they failed to convert the opportunities they created into goals. They fell behind first and had time to make hope with the goals they created in return. But the winning goal created by Fulham really cost them another defeat this week.

Felix has proven itself to the public if he was useless player for chelsea. Chelsea itself has been taking the worst decision by signing him which is panic buying. Chelsea has more shots rather than fulham but again striker has become the main problem for chelsea.
This club is horrible in term executing the final ball. This is 7th loses chelsea from 8 matches in total. Where's is potter ball that has been yelling before? it seems like that potter ball was a garbage ball.
If chelsea keeps playing like that and im sure that if chelsea will not even able to play in the europa league. Poor chelsea under arrogant owner like todd with worst coach.

[Strongkored]

What hurts the most is when you have your first match at a club and get a red card, Joao Felix must have felt the pain of a red card for his new team and this defeat also seems unacceptable because Fulham from so many matches against Chelsea they rarely won, their last victory came a long time ago.
Graham Potter's position will be increasingly difficult at Chelsea and what he said a while ago is true this will be his hardest job at Chelsea https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12784388/graham-potter-chelsea-job-hardest-in-football-after-ownership-change-says-under-fire-manager

Graham Potter would be wondering if he’s jinxed at the moment with these injuries and the red card to Felix. Everything isn’t just working out right for him so far at Chelsea. Honestly I am tempted to say that Todd and Graham Potter are badluck to Chelsea, nothing seems to be working for them. Joao Felix was the best player on the field and now he was sent off. I can't wait for this phase to be over.

I don't know what has hit Chelsea that made them be losing matches back to back. They now find it much hard to win clubs that are above them in the PL table. Chelsea has lost 3 straight matches. Only scoring 5goals in all of the 10 matches they have played since November till today.

The way Chelsea is losing matches, I don't know whether I should support or believe those people that keep lamenting that Chelsea football club needs cleansing from the mess of losing football matches, to bring back the luck of winning matches as before. It is now becoming unbearable the way Chelsea lose their match these days.

Chelsea needs to build connection first. They only want to score. If they start from the back and build, I bet you, goals will come easy. The top 3 movements are good. Also the opponents penetrated the defense so easily. Also, I don’t know but I think they need Mendy back too. Kepa hasn’t been keeping it solid in the goalpost lately. They have to make some changes that will refreshen their team.

@CryptocurrencyKing Felix was indeed lively on the pitch and had he not been sent off then I’m sure that he would have helped Chelsea win this match. Furthermore as I said earlier I feel that Todd will be tempted to sack Potter, but with so many injured player’s and Felix suspended for 3 matches I’m not sure if sacking Potter will solve anything for Chelsea.

[rendravolt]

Chelsea's fate worsened after losing to Fulham with a score of 1-2. Nothing came as a surprise to me because Chelsea still haven't been able to get back on their feet since the consecutive defeats they received this season. Even though he managed to bring Joao Felix to Stamford Bridge on loan, it seems that he still needs to adapt with his colleagues at Chelsea, it was evident that in his debut match against Fulham earlier he was still stiff and a little confused about teamwork.

Not only that, on his first debut with Chelsea, Joao Felix also had to be forced off the match field after receiving a red card due to a hard tackle on a Fulham player. There are other interesting facts, after Chelsea were stuck in 10th position in the EPL standings and from the last 9 matches they played in all competitions they only won 1 time, this is very ironic for one of the big EPL clubs. I think there is no way out of this season's poor performance, the blues fans must be willing to let their favorite team slump until the end of the season.

Chelsea can only try, but if the effort is not enough, they will still remain where they are. It was predicted that Chelsea will lost to Manchester City and people also guessed that Chelsea might lost to Fulham and which all happened. I do not know if it is the coach that is making things to happen like this, but it is good to replace a couch that is not able to lead a club to a higher level, Chelsea is lacking behind very much, there must be changes. Chelsea players needs to also work on themselves and understand each other.

It's a shame that Chelsea lost more points because overall they played well clearly the red card affected their performance
For now we don't know what solution is suitable to overcome Chelsea problem what is clear is that the problem of injury must be resolved immediately and management could give Potter more time I believe he has potential.

[bering]

Upcoming match between Aston Villa vs Leeds and indeed Aston Villa performance was still unstable under Emery but i can see this team has potention to survive on premier league and 1 lose from 5 matches it proven there are big improvement for Aston Villa and today as a host they will fight against Leeds and but to earn 3 points from Leeds it will not be so easy because Leeds sometimes performing well even they have interesting records during this season because Leeds can able to wins from strong teams for away matches but apparently for this match i wouldn't pick who is the winner of this match but i will be more prefer both teams to scores considering Aston Villa and Leeds were quite productive recently
