Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Falconer]

-snip-

Ange Postecoglou managed to make a surprise in the first half of the season because he was able to make Tottenham firmly at the top of the standings, but unfortunately, Ange Postecoglou failed to make Tottenham consistent, making it difficult for them to maintain their position in the top four. Maybe, because they don't have good squad depth, then the results are not optimal when rotating players. Therefore, I also agree that Tottenham needs several players who must be obtained in the transfer market later. Because of course, Tottenham also needs main players and second tier players who have good quality if they want to become strong competitors in the title race next season.

Ange Postecoglou's failure in his efforts to maintain Tottenham's consistency was triggered by injuries to several important players. This is the most logical reason why a coach cannot maintain his team's performance throughout the season, but Ange Postecoglou has basically proven that he can bring meaningful change to Tottenham. His journey and work next season will be awaited, but I wouldn't put Tottenham on my favorites list.

I really hope that Manchester United can compete closely at the top of the standings next season. It may be true that this is a difficult thing to come true, but I have a lot of faith in the depth of the squad and the coach's strategy next season should only get better because of his experience. Manchester City will still be the favorite, but there must be one team that can thwart their dominance next season.

Arsenal looks like they are taking things a bit slow, but if they want to win the league then they need to do a lot better and they need to get some more players that can help them. Mainly rotation players which would be starters in any other team, that is the hardest thing to acquire for a big team.

Players would like to play, they would rather get full playing time at Everton, then not play a single minute at Arsenal, unless the money difference is huge of course. Most players like a chance to show themselves, so that means if you want to get a great player and tell him that he is going to be a bench player and only sub in if they ever need him, you are going to mostly fail. City does it very well, Arsenal needs to start doing it.

Could it be that they're waiting for the European Competition to come to conclusion first before they start making these moves? Most importantly, they should make sure they sign up an experienced striker who can lead them next season and score enough goals that Gabriel Jesus couldn't afford to do. No comparison but Gabriel Jesus has been way below good, maybe even average.

As for the case of rotation, they'll need to get a player who can replace Saka right now Incase he is Injured and also Thomas Partey, these are two areas I think they'll be needing.

Who comes on the first eleven has got to do with the decisions and plans of the coach, I don't know how it goes so my comment would be short and brief. In defense, they're solid, don't think they'll be needing additional defenders.

[Altryist]

Enzo Maresca has a track record of winning some trophy but he has not independently won the Premier League on it own, it has alway been a merge manager with Guardiola and all that credits goes to Guardiola because he is the only person they know as the true manager. If not for Chelsea that called him to represent the team as the new head coach, I might not know him because even when Leicester City called him, I didn't pay attention to his contract.

Now that Chelsea need a good place in the Premier League, he need to assure the management that he is capable of leading the team to the permanent side which is either staying in the first place by winning the Premier League or don't go below 4 place otherwise the faith that met the sacked coaches is going to meet him as well. But if he survived this pressure and do well, he will enjoy his stay in Chelsea as Todd Boehly hasn't gotten a better coach since he bought Chelsea FC.

This is a case where they hope that the student will surpass his teacher, but I have not yet seen such a case, so for Boehly this may just be speculation based on expectations. But on the other hand, they are constantly doing something, changing things, trying to create a team that can win, at least they would like to achieve this. But the coach is not the only thing that needs to be changed in the team in order to start winning, there are problem positions in almost every line that need to be worked on, so Maresca’s task will be very difficult.

The team management who always interferes in the team's coaching will always feel hurt by the results at the end of the championship and this has been clearly accepted by the Chelsea team in the last two seasons. From these results, the team management should be able to reflect that every coach always needs time to go through the process better so that the coach does not have to be immediately fired and look for a new one to train their players. And if something like that still happens to Chelsea next season, of course they will never get good results in the Premier League.

It feels like the two seasons that have passed are enough for the Chelsea club to understand this. That it really takes time to build a squad so that it becomes a strong squad. And it can't just be built in one season. even Mikel Arteta to build Arsenal to its current level took several seasons. And in the first and second seasons, Arteta actually didn't make rapid progress at Arsenal. but the club still trusted Arteta and Arteta then answered that trust with good results in the end. And Chelsea must learn from the Arsenal club about this. And maybe if the club can be more patient then Chelsea will return to being a respected team in the Premier League like before changing ownership. During these two seasons, Chelsea was no longer considered a team that frightened its opponents. And that's really a concerning thing considering how Chelsea was in the past. And I think it's time for Chelsea to rebuild its reputation so that it gets better. And yes, this can be done by giving more time to the new coach at this time. Even if at the start of the season the results are not very good then that must be understood. Because the adaptation process for each team requires different time. some can walk fast and some are slow. And the most important thing is the final result.

New players and a new coach. There is a delay in the gears meshing. But what about Chelsea? They made this damn mess themselves. Man, this constant boss switch is crazy. Have a look at Arteta at Arsenal. They stuck by him when things got tough. Now what? They're getting what they deserve. But Chelsea just can't seem to get past their own problems. There's more drama between them than a Real Housewives reunion, and it's wrecking their game.

Plans of action and formations? Of course, those are important. But that's not all of Chelsea's problems. No one is in charge and there is no strategy. In a storm, they're like a ship without a rudder. They'll keep sinking until they fix that. It looks bad on you, dude. They're the joke of the Premier League right now. It is tough for them to see a way out of this mess.

I think that as soon as their new coach sets a winning streak - they will immediately confirm that they did not make a mistake with the coach. And while they are losing, have even a losing streak - the management will really think that they made a mistake with the coach. Chelsea didn't do too badly last season in my opinion and there is no point in changing the coach because it was towards the end of the season that they picked themselves up and started to turn things around

I have also read the news. To be honest, what is happening to Chelsea today is not a good situation and it will really affect their performance next season. It's more likely that Todd Boehly wants young players to develop into strong ones for the future.

Then Toddy shouldn’t blame coaches for Chelsea's poor performance. If he wants to transform the young players into strong ones, then it’s a matter of time, it’s not something that can be done within a short period of time. coach have to start building the team gradually, but it’s just annoying to see Chelsea management sacking coaches every season. If Toddy Boehly is trying to build the young players at Chelsea, then he should sign a well experienced coach, and the coach should be given time to do his work. Changing coaches frequently won’t solve their problems, it’s rather going to add to their problems.

All have their own standards including Todd in this case even though it cannot be denied that the way he has managed Chelsea since his arrival to replace Abramovich is not very good because there are too many interventions and interference in the management of players and coaches but it is his right because he has the power.

But if indeed he wants to see Chelsea's performance improve then I agree because after all this is about a matter of process and it is difficult to change a club that is in chaos to their best performance because it takes a lot of time.

Actually, if only his relationship with Poche some time ago was still improving I think there is still hope in the end for Poche to stay and Chelsea's performance could be better than this season for next season, it's just that because of the tenuous relationship it makes it more complicated.

[AYOBA]

And the squad that Chelsea currently has is the fault of the Chelsea owners, they spent a lot of money on players who don't have good quality/worth the price so we don't need to talk about that anymore.
We'll see later how Maresca builds this team and what the role of Chelsea management is to support it, whether it is the same as before or will be different, if it is still the same (lots of interference from management in recruiting players) then Maresca will be the next victim (the coach who was fired ).

Chelsea fans certainly hope for something different for next season and also do not expect the new coach to be fired like the previous coaches last season. Because Chelsea needs a lot of revival and big so if they continue to fire coaches because of unsatisfactory results from management, then Chelsea will always experience bad luck every season and there will be no change for themselves and the team management must be aware of that.

The unsatisfied of the management is not the only problem of Chelsea the all entire teams are lack of strong squads, but some people's do not understand that expecially the Chelsea fans that are always blame the Coach, and changes of the coach all the time do not mean that they can immediately achieve their at that moment everything in this life is a gradually process, the best thing for them to do is that they should live this new coach for a long time and his reaction to how he can perform instead of them to be fired their coach without any andy concrete reasons.

Because even thought a team have great management and his lack of good squad there's no any way that team can develop or move forward and that's why the Chelsea always experience bad luck every season, but may be they might turn up next coming year.

It can't be forced because for now Poche has definitely resigned and Chelsea is preparing with Enzo Maresca as the new successor for the coaching problem at Chelsea.
The situation for Chelsea next season will be the same as the previous season where they still have to start adapting to the new coach although the time they have in the end is much longer because of the Euro and their preparation in pre-season but still this will also still have an impact on performance.

Enzo in the last season he brought Leicester with a pretty good record in the Championship although this cannot be compared between the Championship and the EPL but at least the tension is still similar so for the problem of tension Enzo will not be too disturbed for adaptation but indeed in terms of mental and the tension that the club has then this could be an obstacle so by looking at this Enzo must be prepared with all the pressure because he made the slightest mistake then it would be considered a failure.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Arsenal management is not taking it slow, you know the nature of Arsenal transfer, they don’t have too much money to spend quick form players, they do make sure the player worth the amount they are buying him which is why they lose a lot players to other rival teams. They lose Mykhalo Mudryk to Chelsea just because of money, and I know they are not regretting the actions because the Trossard they signed on his behalf performed very well.

They want to add more scorers to their squad, they are trying everything possible to get a reliable striker and a support to some players like Saka, Odegard and some other important positions that will help them lift trophy next season, and I am sure with the performance Arsenal display last season, they should overtake Manchester City in the next coming season to win the Premier League.

I wouldn't bank on Arsenal to over take Manchester City just yet because the Gunners are not sure if they are ready to win the EPL title from the current Champions, if they do I believe by now we would have been seeing more spending like they did last season to get the missing piece in the squad. I think if Arsenal get a better striker who's always hungry for goals the other players would be motivated especially players from the midfield who distributes the ball to the wingers and attackers. For now in the transfer market players who are good not just attackers are ready to join any team who has what it takes to win titles but Arsenal's failure to win something might push good players away.

[Justbillywitt]

It's all about Pochettino's conflict with Todd Boehly about player transfers; Pochettino has lost respect for Todd Boehly since Chelsea's humiliation in the Carabao Cup to Liverpool last season. I was watching when Pochettino overlooked Todd Boehly, and rebuilding a club without seasoned players is extremely difficult. 
I recall reading a lot of reports that Todd would allow Pochettino to easily acquire and trade players, but things did not go as planned. Todd was constantly altering his attitude, and he wanted a coach who could buy young squad teams to fight with the major teams. 

To be honest, I didn't like the news that he would likely bring a player from Leicester City to Chelsea. 

I have also read the news. To be honest, what is happening to Chelsea today is not a good situation and it will really affect their performance next season. It's more likely that Todd Boehly wants young players to develop into strong ones for the future. But realistically I prefer Mauricio Pochettino's opinion. To become a champion, you need experienced players who have a high level. Chelsea couldn't just rely on young players then Todd Boehly set a target that Chelsea had to become champions. That will take quite a long time. But I think Pochettino also can't accept this condition because he has to wait years to build a squad with young players now.

Todd Boehly knows nothing about football, his approach and ways he has been handling things at Chelsea so far has clearly shown that. How can you come to a big team like Chelsea that's already a world-class team with so many fan base and just start making decisions that are clearly hurting and drawing the club backward. To keep competing in the highest level, you need experienced players who has been tested in the bigger stages. Boehly should make no mistake to think that these amature players he is assembling will grow into something big in the premier league. Same way he is building that's how other clubs are also building their squad too. It would have been better if he mixed the squad with experienced players that will help guide the younger ones. With the way Chelsea are going about their recruitment this summer, I think their woes of last season will still follow them to next season.

Developing young players into future players for the team requires the team to be patient and not just be sacking coaches when they don’t perform up to expectations in their first season. Building a strong and solid team requires a lot of efforts and sacrifices, even the management have to take part in making that happen. Teams that have built their squad on that basis have the best squads now and are not really spending much when the transfer markets arrives. Chelsea should replicate the same thing when it come to theirs. We all know Chelsea as a big name team in Europe and not just in the premier league. They need to buckle up and get back to their old ways that they are before now. Toddy has a big role in making this happen, so he should do what is necessary before it’ll be too late for the club.

Chelsea signing promising young potential talents, exactly the targets of other elite clubs in England. None of these top clubs would offer gigantic bids for advanced players, they're making smooth run for players that have promising future and securing them now for lengthy contract ought to be their aim. I'm a Chelsea fan and I totally understand the destination Todd Boehly is driving the club. He's one of the important elements to make crucial decision for the club and we have idea about the club. Its just a matter of time before Chelsea will take to their heels and become formidable against opponents.

That means Cehlsea fans have to be patient with the investment policy taken by Todd Boehly, where building a club with the majority of young players with little experience, will take longer to develop. Of course they will mature as the season progresses, and have the potential to develop into the best players in the Premier League in the future.

I think Pochettino legacy players have developed for the better, but we don't yet know which players Enzo Maresca will prioritize next season. Enzo Maresca task in the future is to find the right strategy for these young players, so that they can develop quickly and make Chelsea become a team challenging for the title again.

In fact, if Chelsea management builds squad depth with the majority of young players, they should be more patient with the manager performance, because the manager also needs time to encourage the players to find their best playing form. If Chelsea continues to change coaches, it will be difficult for Chelsea to achieve its targets.

Well he is not the first to start the tradition because I think it's like a ritual with the owners of the club now and the previous owner @Roman abramovich even did worse as he frequently sacked coaches on a steady although his wasn't fixated on squandering money on buying big names but he did have his fare share of the Chelsea syndrome.

Chelsea has become part of a big club in the Premier League which will not make consecutive mistakes every season and I admit that recently Chelsea has also been linked with young players who have reliable talent to be able to develop the club into a stronger competition for the Premier League title.
Some of the players currently being targeted by Chelsea are big names in Europe, such as Victor Osimhen, who is being targeted by Chelsea and could make big profits if they succeed in bringing in this player.
Even Todd Boehly currently dares to compete with other clubs for the recruitment of new players but does not make the mistake of making a big offer like Mudryk which ends in a loss without any achievements.

In the middle of July, if we have received a lot of confirmation about the new players that Chelsea has brought in, we can assess and be more confident that Todd Boehly and coach Enzo Maresca are trying to restore Chelsea's glory.

People are comparing the past management of Chelsea under the leadership of Roman Abramovic to this of Todd Boehly are definitely wrong, both sacked coaches and buy players yes, but let’s compare the way it was done. First of all Abramovic wasn’t hiring just any manager In the Market like the way this current board is going on about now, you must have the characteristics of a winner and be winning already before you get to come in as the manager, Boehly just signs any new name on the block and expects them to perform magic within a short period of time. There is also the freedom to given to managers to have a say in the signings of players, not now that Todd Boehly does everything himself.

It can be said that Abramovich achieved success when he owned Chelsea. The Abramovich era, lasting 19 years, with reasonable investments and tremendous pressure for any coach, brought Chelsea a total of 21 titles. No matter what changes, fans at Stamford Bridge and generations of Blues players have not forgotten Abramovich.

And Todd Boehly will kill Chelsea. The reason I say that is because of Todd Boehly's crazy and wrong player transfers. This team bought too many young players, signed too long contracts, and got rid of veteran stars too quickly. All of this causes everything to decline and become a mid-range club. This strategy has potential risks as young players need time to develop and adapt to the top football environment. Boehly's long-term vision will require patience and support from fans, but if successful, Chelsea could become a force to be reckoned with once again.

In the last two seasons, Arsenal have been the closest team next to Manchester City in the fight to win the English Premier League so I totally understand when people say that are likely to be the club that'll win the league title ahead of the other English clubs. The truth is that Arsenal haven't been as convincing as many of us will want them to be before we can start backing them to become the club that's gonna stop Manchester City's dominance but we just have to accept the fact that the second best club in England at the moment.
Mikel Arteta already understands how the English Premier League works and I think he also knows that his clubs biggest problem of last season was that they didn't have a top striker so I expect the club to sign quality attackers that'll help the club significantly improve next season.

Basically, the management doesn't want to take too long to see good results from the coach they have chosen to provide good direction at Chelsea. So, in this way, indirectly, the management forces the trainers to immediately give all their best abilities and there is no time to spend relaxing. The efforts made by every coach at Chelsea are very hard and it is not easy to bring Chelsea to victory. The team of players they have must also be able to follow the coach's instructions well. The coach must be able to gain respect for Chelsea's players so that they can be managed well and win easily.

When Todd sack a coach, he gives the impression that the coaches are the problem, but in reality it is not the coaches. This first started with Tomas Tuchel and many Chelsea fans were against Todd's decision. He repeated it with Pochettino and even many Chelsea fans didn't agree with his decision. However, when coaches are sacked, it is assumed that they didn't perform well and the coaches won't have anyway to defend themselves, unless for coaches like Mourinho who put clause of compensation in their contracts. We have nothing but to trust the management decision because they have the power to hire and fire, we are all spectators.
