Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Obim34]

It's going to be tough to handle Chelsea who you liken to a pressure cooker because the team themselves always want good results quickly without wanting to see the process first. Chelsea should realise that in order to make a team better it has to go through a process that doesn't even take a short time to achieve what they want. Because in the Premier League the competition is very competitive and I think Chelsea already know that so they should realise that changing managers every season is not going to change anything in their own team.

Enzo Maresca is here to make things smooth for Chelsea, the team's supporters which are actually vast in numbers will give him all the tender support for the purpose to grow the club in epic performance. Chelsea is an elite team and we understand the club's status in the English Premier League, they've learned to deliver their best even under pressure. Perhaps there's absolutely nothing to worry about because Chelsea will keep making more important signings and bring on tough competitive run for Arsenal and Manchester City next season.

I'm still watching out more Chelsea signings, they have quite the good coach as much people believe but I seek evidence to see if he fits in perfectly. If Maresca really is good as they say then definitely Chelsea will see top four in the Premier League, also qualifying for the Champions League. It would be a tough one, since there are new signings and coach but the end results will be extraordinary.

I also expect Chelsea to rank atleast top three this coming season considering how much they are spending on players, it is approachable, i feel the strong opponents left to oppose them is just Arsenal and Manchester City, the rest could be dealt with.

I feel like they have no problem with the manager currently, the problem has to do with Todd Boehly. It seem like he wants to turn the club into a basketball team or a game of baseball. Why is it difficult for him to see that the club is not an American club but European? When will he get to know that?
Chelsea has gradually turned into a profit making club and that's what matters to Todd Boehly right now. I see he is investing in younger players who can generate him income in the next few years ahead.

He was suppose to mix up the experienced players and that of the young players but this is opposite. I want to see the outcome of the season already.

Do you think the players they spent money on are experienced players? My message to all Chelsea fans this season is not to get high hopes ahead of the new season.

Yes, Chelsea fans are starting to believe in him because of his past record while managing Leicester City, he won the Championship in the just concluded season and has a great performance among all the remaining coaches in the Championship.

Since Chelsea fans are having confidence in him because he succeeded in the Championship and was under Pep Guardiola before he signed for Leicester City, they believe if the management give him time, he will bring some positive changes to the team even if it is not in the next coming season.
Nevertheless, I hope the Chelsea management will have that patience to wait for some time.

I can’t just wait for the season to start so that I will see how every team’s will be performing. Seriously, I just hope Enzo Maresca will be able to solve Chelsea's problem next season. I don’t really like the idea that Chelsea is changing coaches frequently. Let’s hope Enzo Maresca will be able to satisfy Chelsea so that he will at least spend more time in Chelsea. Nobody knows how his performance will be when the season starts, but I am expecting a good performance from him, and I hope Chelsea will be able to end next season in a better position compared to last season.

[iBaba]

They are so bad but it’s just the level of inconsistency despite having so many good players. I believe if a better coach should handle these players they will be more productive than under Ten Hag. I doubt if he is even able to identify the areas that needs to be improved on, he seem confused and at this point I would advise they replace him with a better manager that can lead the team to glory.

I've mentioned times without number that the problem with Chelsea lies on their coach, I feel like he lacked the ability to effectively manage the players at his disposal. I don't think it is true to say that Chelsea lacks the squad depth they require to challenge the status quo but lacks the ability for effective management of those players. We have the likes of Romelu Lukaku who haven't been used effectively yet a lot of money have been spent on his transfer and so on.

It's not entirely the coach's fault if you really study what Mauricio Pochettino has done.
Chelsea were able to finish in 6th position thanks to the help of Pochettino's contribution after previously ending in 12th position which looked worse but the coach has the enthusiasm to give the best for Chelsea but this club owner is the one who is a problem for his own club after succeeding in reaching the best point but instead fired Pochettino.

When you say about Romelu Lukaku as a player who can be relied on at Chelsea but the club does not choose to use him as a main player, the reason is simply that Chelsea knows that Lukaku actually does not have much interest in appearing with Chelsea and prefers to be with a club from Serie A.

What Chelsea management should know is that, building a strong team in football as to take some time and it can’t just be put together in a season and with just a new coach. They need to have known each other and understand their method of playing and how they can integrate themselves together in the first year of the season as the manager starts its coaching. In the first year, the manager can use that to understand the team, know which player is needed and the one not needed, the one that needs to be sold and the one that needs to be kept. They also need to know which player to bring in and join them for the next season. I don’t expect Enzo Maresca to lead Chelsea to the best next season, but he can try and I hope his trial will be good enough to keep him after the first season in the club.

Chelsea's like a revolving door for coaches. In, out, in again, out. Ridiculous. Does it improve the team? Absolutely not! Its a mess. Its chaos. Building a winning team is not done that way. This Enzo man has some respectable experience, now. He has been with winners like Pep. He returned Leicester to the major divisions. That is excellent and rather remarkable. Yet Chelsea? It is a cooker under pressure. Can he manage that? We'll see.

Because in the Premier League the competition is very competitive and I think Chelsea already know that so they should realise that changing managers every season is not going to change anything in their own team.

I agree that any coach who's managing Chelsea right now needs time before he can perform better. It's not easy to achieve success with new players who do not understand each other's style of play very well and a struggling club. Chelsea management always provides funds for any new coach managing Chelsea to buy any player of his choice. But if the coach fails to win silverware or qualify Chelsea for the UEFA Champions League competition, he will be sacked because he was provided with the players he wanted, and yet he couldn't make Chelsea play competitively.

Everyone is watching out Chelsea, Chelsea is a team that very often makes a surprise in each transfer windows. I think it is not about Maresca, it is like a habit of Chelsea team which easily signs or sells players. Anyway, why do you say he is a good coach? Maresca still doesn't prove anything in Chelsea, it is too early to claim he is a good coach.

Finish in UCL zone is a reasonable target for Chelsea. But it won't be easy because other top teams in EPL are very tough. Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Man United are the teams which often qualify for the UCL. Chelsea needs to compete with them for the position of UCL zone. I'm not really sure it is possible if Chelsea still can't perform consistently.

I also expect Chelsea to rank atleast top three this coming season considering how much they are spending on players, it is approachable, i feel the strong opponents left to oppose them is just Arsenal and Manchester City, the rest could be dealt with.

It is not as simple as you think. Every EPL team also spends a lot of money to build their squad. Even other teams have more established squad because they don't easily changes their players. Since Chelsea has too many new players, I am a bit doubtful about the cohesiveness among Chelsea players. Maresca needs to ensure that Chelsea players can have good teamwork.

I feel like they have no problem with the manager currently, the problem has to do with Todd Boehly.

Both the owner and manager of Chelsea have problems. If they have no problems, Chelsea must perform consistently and there will be no change in the coach position. However, Todd Boehly should take the responsibility because he is the chairman of Chelsea club. Everything is under Todd Boehly's control.

Chelsea's main problem under Todd Boehly was management, so it was not surprising to see how difficult it was to bring in a good coach. I don't think it's difficult for them to spend money just to hire a talented coach, but the situation is very different. 
The main issue is that the owner made numerous requests to the coach, and management attempted to find someone who agreed with Chelsea's owner to carry out his orders to the coach. For some reasons, Chelsea still lacks squad depth due to the club's abundance of young stars. 
Lukaku performed poorly in the EPL, which could explain why Chelsea rejected him; however, Poch offered him the opportunity to play in the PL, which he declined.

Perhaps there's absolutely nothing to worry about because Chelsea will keep making more important signings and bring on tough competitive run for Arsenal and Manchester City next season.

We'll see what Enzo Maresca can do next season, fans are understandably worried because Pochettino is considered better. If Enzo Maresca cannot get Chelsea off to a consistent start, sharp criticism will immediately be aimed at him. The pressure in managing Chelsea is much greater than other elite Premier League clubs, because Chelsea management and club officials are known for their impatient nature.

Nevertheless, Enzo Maresca deserves the opportunity to prove himself, hopefully the former Liecester manager can live up to expectations in his first season. If Chelsea players avoid the storm of injuries, Enzo Maresca task will become easier, but if it happens again like last season, then I doubt Enzo Maresca can handle it as well as Pochettino.

On the other hand, Chelsea looks like it will be difficult to compete with City and Arsenal in the race for trophies, they need great luck to be able to challenge for the title next season. The most realistic target is to finish in the top four of the standings, and get a ticket to return to playing in the Champions League.

They have carried out various negotiations to get the player they are after. And so far, indeed, they seem to be targeting young players, expect for certain players. Some of them yes:
- Aaron Anselmino
- Murillo
- Marc Guiu
- Omari Kellyman
and several other names. However, this is still at the negotiation stage, it's just that some of them are just waiting for approval.

Of the several players you mentioned, I am more focused on Chelsea seriousness in immediately getting Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman who have a greater chance of becoming reliable players and looking at the achievements of these two players, it seems that Chelsea will continue to send offers to Barcelona and Aston Villa owns the player.

Both are valid. It's just a matter of time to sign Marc Guiu based on reports from Fabriano.
Meanwhile for Omari Kellyman, the deal has been fixed for signing Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa with a £19m deal..
That young Attacking Midfield is one of the great signings for Chelsea with a contract for the next 6 years.

And there is also the option to extend the year. Oh yes, Omari Kellyman will start training with his team-mates at Chelsea starting in pre-season which will be held next month. Now we just have to wait for other fantastic signings that can really strengthen the squad enough, so that it can be different from last season.

I've said much about the debate of what's been causing Chelsea's poor performance in the last two seasons but one thing I've noticed on the gambling thread is that some persons do have their own views which are completely different from mine in the subject matter. Before Todd Boehly took over the ownership of Chelsea, the English club had recently won the UEFA Champions League title but since Boehly became took over the ownership of the club, they've been struggling to at least remain in the top four teams in England which they've never achieved. The decision of Todd Boehly in terms of signing managers in the club have been absolutely awful and is the reason behind the club's poor performances in the last three seasons. The sack of Mauricio Pochentino after the end of the just concluded season is another strong indication that Todd Boehly doesn't want a manager that'll come to build the team but a manager that'll bring instant success and I don't think it'll be easy for Chelsea to get that desired manager

Personally, I think the problem is both and indeed yeah the coach is probably the main factor, when the new coach is unable to make all the players into a solid team then the results are not optimal. Apart from that, Chelsea management also has the same role in Chelsea's failures in the last few seasons, they are impatient and want to see instant results while sometimes coaches need more time to change the team for the better.

They will not have good run on their first season, chelsea needs to rebuild their squad from the scratch again. It seems to me their target will never be achieved because of the management is not even consistent to run their project. They keep changing their coach and this is what's gonna happen to them.
Chelsea will not be competitive enough for the upcoming season. Todd has always burdened the new coach without even tried to give em enough time to develop. Chelsea will be stack, if todd never aware if he is the main cases of all problems in chelsea.
It's very pathetic to see chelsea is always doing setback after they made some improvements last season due to the disagrement between owner and coach.
