Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[BITCOIN4X]

there's been a lot of dissatisfaction with Potter's coaching. even at the beginning of the club's hiring him, many fans have voiced against him. but anyway this is the club's choice, and now they have to see how their club is down.
the game against Everton showed a lot to be fixed. the transition to defending after attacking looked poor in Chelsea's game. even when they were planning attacks, several players ended up falling behind doing support.
there are star names at Chelsea, I didn't think Potter couldn't maximize their potential. Chelsea must immediately find a new alternative name for their coach.

In essence, every coach employed by a team is not really able to guarantee that his team always plays well and wins every match. I know Potter hasn't been the best for Chelsea but this is his first season in London. Potter needs time to adjust his strategy at Chelsea, but however a series of unsatisfactory results will force him to leave Stamford Bridge.

At Chelsea Potter really suffered, but nevertheless he had to do everything in his power to make Todd Boehly's faith in him pay off. At least Graham Potter has a chance to last until the end of the season, but I don't really know if Chelsea's patience will run out if Potter doesn't manage to lead Chelsea to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

[hahay]

Chelsea ended in a draw, even I felt confident after entering the eighty-fifth minute. But Everton managed to make good use of the opportunity. M Koulibaly failed to stop Ellis Simms. It seems that Koulibaly doesn't have the strength to run. Of course this is a series of bad results Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge. It looks like two substitution errors meant Potter had to settle for just one point. Perhaps this result makes Potter have to be ready to be fired. You can see the expression of the Chelsea owner here https://twitter.com/fathurys216/status/1637234908337676294?s=20

But in reality so far this season Chelsea have only lost three at home, because of the 13 home matches so far this season Chelsea have won six home wins, four draws and three defeats. So, since Chelsea don't have more defeats and also, Chelsea don't have consecutive defeats at home, then I still consider that the result is not too bad.

Because anyway, at least I can still understand that with the big changes that have taken place at Chelsea, they won't be able to quickly get the good results as expected. But yes, if Chelsea continues to slump and fall out of the top 10, then of course Chelsea need a better coach than Graham Potter.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Crystal Palace's performance is much worse than last season. Crystal Palace have suffered 13 defeats, 9 draws and have won just 6 matches in 28 matches this season. Meanwhile last season, Crystal Palace managed to end the season with 12 defeats, 15 draws and 11 wins, so it's true that Crystal Palace is worse than last season.

They have 10 match to play the rest of the season and of course we can still expect some defeats for Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Newcastle, which was no better than Crystal Palace last season, has proven something of the best this season. Newcastle's performance is surprising, they are almost likely to qualify for the Champions League next season after only ending last season in 11th place.

This season is so disappointing Crystal Palace's performance in the league and they have no motivation to compete with other clubs this season, the bad results they get bring Crystal Palace ranked 12th in the standings after suffering a landslide defeat from Arsenal.

While Newcastle has shown good developments since ownership was taken over by Saudi Arabian entrepreneurs. When compared to last season with this season many changes have been achieved by Newcastle, thus putting them in one of the challengers of the top five standings to date.

As a coach, of course he has to be responsible for the performance of his team. With clubs spending so expensive and spending a lot of money, he still can't figure out how to manage the team properly  in the Premier League is still chaotic and Potter still hasn't found a solution. away from him because management had believed in Potter for a long time.

Maybe we think this season Potter will not bring Chelsea any better unless he has to be able to stay in the UCL, but for next season we have to see Chelsea differently because they have looked at a bigger squad than this season.

Will I assume that Graham Potter lacks the ability to coordinate a big team like Chelsea? Looking at his past exploits in Brighton & Hove Albion it will be hard to assume that he is not a good coach. He was able to revolutionize his former club. The match against Everton was the recent woeful performance that highly irritated the fans and the club's management. Chelsea had countless opportunities to extend their lead but they failed to to utilize those chances. At the end they have themselves to blame. It is late to bring a new coach considering that league is already gone far and the club is already in the champions league quarterfinals. Potter should be allowed to continue but if the club can hire an experienced technical adviser that could serve as an assistant to Potter to help him analyse matches and make the right changes. This is because it is clear that Potter's main problems is his ability to maximize the huge manpower he has at his disposal.      

[Masplanc]

This Chelsea team is just not ready to make any changes in terms of play or even the line up, Potter is just responsible for all that's happening to the Blues at the moment, is as if he's clueless. I wonder how he's going to manage the team against Real Madrid that's not even happy with their current situation.
Well, let see if after this break if G.Potter can get the best of advice or he can go back and watch some of those matches he lost and then correct his errors. IMO I don't want Potter to be fired, let him learn how to manage a big club instead of running off the club.

Of course Potter is the cause everything happening,  when a coach have a winning mentality the team will always do well. The problem of Chelsea is nothing but Potter, I think he is the most underperforming coach Chelsea has ever had. I doubt if he will last as a coach in Chelsea.

Are we serious right now, why blame everything on potter knowing fully well how Chelsea problem pre-date potter's arrival at Chelsea,  remember being a Coach doesn't mean all the decisions in the club depend on his reasoni?

-Am afraid that even if potter gets sacked from the club it will still not make any positive sense and it will be important to rebuild the club.

Real Madrid showed signs of weakness in La Liga against Barcelona yesterday night and this can be a good wish for Chelsea,as Chelsea has won the Champions League when they were not at all favorites many years ago.For Potter and their behavior in Premier League,it surely needs to be improved and addressed but as I have said before if he is not sacked it means that the club management trusts him and they will be having him even for the next season,if he fails to bring result also during next season,then firing him is an inevitable thing.Chelsea needs to harmonize as they have a lot of players,they just need time nothing more.

Chelsea form this season wasn't suppose to be the way it is now, is just like the Blues are one of those clubs that was newly promoted into the EPL and if you check those clubs who are being promoted like Fulham, they're far better than Chelsea to be sincere. So if you want to use the form of Madrid in la liga to compare with the form of Chelsea in EPL then you just have to know that Madrid are far better than they [Chelsea] are and they [Madrid] have a strong target and that's to win the Champions league and Chelsea doesn't stand a chance against them, for the record they were lucky to eliminate Madrid last time.

He was given the freedom to buy players in the last transfer market, but the fact is that the players he brought were unable to make significant changes to the Chelsea squad. Maybe before that Chelsea's performance also decreased, but after he became a coach it meant he really had to be responsible for what Chelsea experienced this season. It won't be easy, but as a coach he should understand what this team really needs.

Quite alright he was given the chance and privilege to make his signings but what am not getting here is that, how can you sign  players that you can't make use of, not to talk of winning games with them?huh? Is really disturbing as everything is going for Chelsea because they have all it takes to beat teams that are giving them hard times not to talk about outside Europe but in the EPL. I just wish the little time the man Graham Potter have left he'll utilize it in a way that it will buy him more years as the Chelsea manager.

[Queentoshi]

This is because it is clear that Potter's main problems is his ability to maximize the huge manpower he has at his disposal.      

You will agree with me that Chelsea has improved more than they were when the new coach just joined them. Managing the team looks like a very demanding job for Graham Potter, but he is growing into it, the question is now if the management of Chelsea will give him enough time to grow into the Job. It may cost Chelsea and the club that they win no title this season and loose qualification for the Champions league next season. Where there will be more problem for him is if at the start of next season if he still remains coach and after he has been given a lot of time then Chelsea show no improvement and continue in this bad form.

[zaki12]

Chelsea last game was a pure win for them but turning around and recording a draw was not among the plans for the fans. Everton was pressured to their last strength but the toffees really make good use of their chances. Graham Potter is behaving like an average coach, he's not fit to lead the club. Chelsea needs an experience coach with good style of the game, a manager that knows how to control his players on the pitch.

I agree with you, Chelsea should have been able to win over Everton. If a bad substitution for Graham Potter wasn't made, Pulisic should have been replaced by Mikhailo Mudryk, who has a typical attack compared to Gallagher, who has no vision in playing. It's useless for all Chelsea players, all quality young players, if they are still coached by Graham Potter.

The difference in quality was very visible when Arsenal beat Crystal Palace, Arsenal continued to put pressure on Palace to maintain their position at the top of the standings. Palace defeat further extended their record of losing in the Premier League, the poor results achieved at Arsenal's headquarters meant that Palace never won in 12 games. A change of coach does not guarantee Palace can get out of a bad situation, as long as Palace is not filled with several quality players, it is very difficult to compete in the Premier League.

Arsenal are now in the ON FIRE phase, so it's very difficult to stop Arsenal from winning over Crystal Palace. if Arsenal are consistent in all matches it is possible they will reach 99 points at the end of the season. This would be a great achievement for Arsenal as well as winning the EPL championship.

Maybe we think this season Potter will not bring Chelsea any better unless he has to be able to stay in the UCL, but for next season we have to see Chelsea differently because they have looked at a bigger squad than this season.

Let's simply assume that Chelsea has lost the opportunity to finish at the top of the premier league positions this year. If by next season, Chelsea is unable to make it to the top position of the premier league, that's when Chelsea management will do the needful to sack Potter. For now, they have given him all the time to build Chelsea into a formidable club. Let's see whether his gonna make it happen or not by next season

[Ratash]

Southampton vs tottenham was an interesting game we witnessed six goals and while the result was bad for tottenham since their fourth position is now threatened and they can lose it, southampton team managed to get a precious point that will increase their chances in staying in the premiere league.

It would be a good decision if the Chelsea management did not sack Graham Potter at the end of this season, because I think Chelsea not being in the top five or at least the top seven is a bad result. What's more, at this moment Chelsea are only in 10th place with 38 points, so it's clear that Graham Potter doesn't have good abilities.

But yes, let's see what Chelsea will be like next season if they are still coached by Graham Potter, I will only look forward to Chelsea's development next season because this season Graham Potter has failed. There is nothing more that Chelsea can hope for this season, even though Chelsea have qualified for the quarter-finals in the Champions League but the opponent is Real Madrid which is of course very difficult for Chelsea.

Chelsea are no longer thinking about the Premier League title this season, I would not be that stupid to expect Chelsea to finish top of the table after being 31 points behind Arsenal or 11 points from Tottenham.

The Premier League is over for Chelsea this season, things are getting harder to hopes. Chelsea should be very concerned about improving his performance for the rest of the season, Potter must be held responsible for that. While Chelsea were good in terms of their performances, but they still failed to hold onto the lead before the end of the match, it is a problem that must be resolved this season. Now it's time to take a few days off, the Premier League will return in April.

I think it's a pity because I had a lot of faith in this team and after seeing the performances that they can't win when they get it, it's somewhat disappointing, however it seems to me that these things are normal for them to happen, in fútbol sometimes things don't go the way you want and Poter can really see the effort he has made to make this team one of the best, I don't know what's going on, I don't know if it's a lack of integration within the players themselves, but it's something they need to do quickly, for me in a month this team if it works as it is will be unstoppable, I think the same for Arsenal.

Potter outlines plan for Kante during international break

Having been named in a Chelsea squad for the first time since August, N’Golo Kante is now expected to get some match action in the upcoming international break.

That’s according to Graham Potter, who has detailed what the next fortnight holds for N’Golo. The midfielder’s season has been so severely disrupted by a hamstring injury suffered against Tottenham in August and understandably his return to the fold has been very carefully managed.

‘N’Golo is due to carry on training this week, and potentially with a game to get some minutes,’ Potter revealed.

‘That’s the plan there. The game will probably be internal. We need to control that as much as we can. But that will be good.

Now it's time to take a few days off, the Premier League will return in April.

Currently, Chelsea's position is still in 10th place in the standings, it makes Graham Potter's army very small to finish in the top five this season. The Blues are also certain to fail to win a slot to play in the Uefa Competition next season. Because the Premier League now no longer gets a ration to play in the European Conference League. Meanwhile, Europa League tickets will be contested by Liverpool, Newcastle United or Tottenham.

Potter is the person most responsible for Chelsea's condition this season. He failed to maintain the team's performance at least like during Tuchel's time. This season it is certain that they will fail to win any title even though they are still in the Champions League.

No chance for chelsea to finish top 4.

They might wont play at champions league next season unless if they win the champions league trophy with special entry , tough opponents ahead and tight schedule await , difficult season for chelsea under the rookie manager graham potter. Chelsea is fvcked up .

[irhact]

Arsenal are now in the ON FIRE phase, so it's very difficult to stop Arsenal from winning over Crystal Palace. if Arsenal are consistent in all matches it is possible they will reach 99 points at the end of the season. This would be a great achievement for Arsenal as well as winning the EPL championship.

Arsenal still has a very tough schedule to conquer if they want to lift the trophy this season, they have 10 games left in the premier league this season and in those ten games how many can they win because they still have to play Manchester city again, Liverpool and Chelsea, they also have hab some mid table teams that have been good this season to play.

Arsenal luck at the moment is that they're out of other tournament so they can concentrate on just playing premier league games while other teams have other tournament to focus on. Manchester city are still in the champions league and other domestic tournament so they'll be having a busy end if the season.

Isn't that a big risk for Chelsea's progress, too long in Potter's grip I don't think it's a good thing for the development of the Chelsea squad, I don't think there is any more reason to keep Potter as coach, Chelsea under Potter's tutelage like a normal team, into the top ten English premier league alone should be grateful for this season.
The next match is against Aston Villa and this determines who deserves to be in the top 10 of the English premier league in the following week. If you end up losing to Aston Villa, it's a bad day for Chelsea club fans.

[Pulsar77]

Now Liverpool have only the Premier League left in their hands. It has been a really horrible season for them so far. They have only one thing left to go for this season which is the top 4. This is very important for Liverpool as it is their only way of qualifying for the Champions League once again at least. But with this inconsistent performance I don't know if they can make it there at the end of the season. They have two matches missing right now and in case they win both they can drop the gap with Tottenham to only one point.

But Newcastle are also a big threat in this race as they are right between these teams. They also have two matches missing plus they are five points ahead of Liverpool. It looks like Liverpool's job is very difficult here.

I think a lot of people tend to jump tho the conclusion that the coach is main problem if the team is showing a low performance, he might have a role in that but I'm pretty sure he's not Chelsea's only problem, so far they're not playing good as a team, and as you said they had problems even before Potter was in charge, so the problem is bigger than that, same thing happens to most teams when they go through some bad times, the coach is the first and main target.
