Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I don't know what Chelsea aim to achieve with all these players they are signing but I don't think it will make any changes. For the past few months, Chelsea have signed more than enough players as if they are attempting to change the entire squad. I don't know whether they have no intention of using the old players. I just hope the expenses will not be in vain.

They have so many players, right now Chelsea have 3 good goalkeepers: Sanchez, Kepa and Petrovic, now they want to add one more which is Filip Jørgensen.

Most of top teams only have 2 goalkeepers, only few teams have 3 goalkeepers, having 4 goalkeepers when all of them are available is really wasting time and money.

If they plan to sell or loan their players, it doesn't that easy except they don't mind to trade in loss.

Chelsea have bad started on two pre season matches after getting bad result being draw by Football League one team Wrexham A.F.C and last match defeated by Celtic over 1-4.
I watched second pre season match when Chelsea defeating by Celtic and their performance very bad without organizing the games plan exactly with defense position. Maybe Enzo Maresca still make many rotation before finding the regular players for next season and still waiting some players returning back to the club after playing for their national team.

Enzo Maresca four pre season matches left before facing Manchester City on the first Premier League match, he must find right composition players and have good start if want secure the top fourth target by management or possibility sack from his position if Chelsea get bad start on the Premier League match.

Chelsea's pre season matches result

• Chelsea 2 vs 2 Wrexham A.F.C
• Chelsea 1 vs 4 Celtic

I can understand the bad results, Enzo Maresca has just coached Chelsea and he needs some information to be able to formulate a strategy so what happened can't conclude anything, in fact I think the bad results can be a benchmark for Enzo Maresca to be able to build the Chelsea team when the season starts later.

It's too early to say Enzo Maresca was fired because the tasks and burdens carried by Enzo Maresca are not easy, he handled a Chelsea team that was already very depressed so Chelsea management must give Enzo Maresca time to start the process to be able to build this team.
I think Enzo Maresca has the quality as a pretty good coach and we just need to wait for Enzo Maresca to prove it with Chelsea.

Even with all the players they have signed so far, they still haven't won a single pre season game and that isn't looking like a good return for their investment in players so far. The most recent signing I a goal keeper, maybe they are preparing their grounds if keper moves as intended, they wouldn't be left in a situation where they will have to struggle with looking around for a replacement, but the signings have actually been much and the old players aren't really moving, they still are very much available so its not looking like they want to change the entire squad probably want to have a good squad that will be on the standby.

Actually it's surprising despite I know that some players deserve no space in the first eleven. The likes of Badiasheli and Sanchez are not too good enough to reserve a slot in the first squad but Gallagher and Chalobah were very good last season and should not be allowed to pathway especially in a trying time like for them.

I haven't watched that guy Badiasheli or whatever they call him closely, but I do feel like Trevor Chalobah, is a better defender than Fofana and Disasi honestly. I'm not blue fan, but, I see all these things.
The goalkeeper Sanchez has got to be a huge fraud! Jesus Christ, that guy should be the first to be sold out completely. They shouldn't have brought him in the first place.

Todd Boehly is one man that wants profits. He has done well with players who all came from the academy or during the time of Thomas Tuchel.
Gallagher did well, and was consistent for them last season, at some point I considered him the best midfieder for Chelsea last season. He's been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, I know he'll be sold and the same goes for Chalobah.

Raheem Sterling is another name to be sold, I don't know why they still want him around though.

I think Chelsea have learned a lot from the previous draw against Wrexham but what we see is their bad luck continues against Celtic. It is unexpected that Enzo Maresca's squad has to suffer a heavy defeat and I think they are really not ready for the EPL next season. Just imagine with a result like this what can we expect from them even though they are facing a weak team in the EPL and the possibility of losing points is also much greater.

The next pre-season match is not easy because from the four matches they have to try the right strategy when facing Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Inter and if they continue to suffer defeat then their mentality will definitely decrease and their depression will be difficult to overcome. I am not sure if Enzo Maresca is really the right coach but remembering when he was still the Leicester coach, I think he still has good magic for Chelsea.

Mason Mount has been one of Chelsea's bright stars back when he was playing for the Blues but they went their separate ways as of last season where he joined Manchester United, a move no one saw coming and ever since then we haven't seen that bright star of Chelsea doing his best for the Red Devils, it was even bad to the point that he couldn't play due to injury and it some how looks like this player went over for the money, I think is just assumption but it seems true.
Since the big move Mount have been on the lips of fans especially Chelsea fans that criticize the player and I think is only one season to say he isn't going to excel at UTD, 11 games 1 goal no assist, to me this is the worse of the man Mount. How is he going to be in great form next campaign because we know last season injury got a better part of him, can he come back better this coming season? Has he been over criticize since the big move to Man UTD? What do you make of this.

It's ridiculous to keep adding 1 more goalkeeper, why have more than 2? I am surprised by Chelsea transfer pursuit which can be said to be a waste of time and money. They should focus on having a solid defense, a goal hungry striker and a midfielder who is not a problem. The Blues under Boehly are a mess, the management of this club is very unmanageable and now Enzo does not look convincing to provide something different from Pochettino.

Not a good coach, Ten Hag. No joke, high school games have better coaching.

These guys couldnt catch a cold, let alone a ball, but its not just about the injuries. Whats wrong is Ten Hag's incompetence. Without a strategy, the squad is scattered. Even if we needed new defensemen after last season's fiasco, he cant employ them.

Ten Hag must get his act together quickly. I dont give up on people. One of the largest clubs in the sport is Manchester United. This team can be great again. Their coach must be knowledgeable. Inspiration, motivation, and the best in them. What winners do. Exactly what Manchester United needs today.

Last season was not very good for Mount because looking at his injury history he had at least approximately 5 months he was in the healing phase in the 2 injuries he received which of course this clearly disrupted the performance he had in the end.

Now that he is fitter than before, hopefully Mount's performance and the glass foot problem he had last season will not return because after all, by looking at the situation that is happening now it is clear that he must try to prove himself that he is not a flop purchase. Indeed, for the first season yesterday he could be said to have failed but that happened because of the injury problems he did face so seeing the conditions now that he is better prepared it is clear that he must show that he is a worthy player.

He was a fairly expensive player brought in by Manchester United last season and it would be very painful if he was mocked even by his own fans for failing to shine at a new club.

Sometimes a player can't play well when he's on a new team, just like Mason Mount who lost his ability while playing with Manchester United so did he really lose his abilities? I don't think so, I mean maybe we can look at it from several sides for example he needs the right partner to improve his abilities or at least to support its performance well maybe this is what is not found in Manchester United.

Or another reason might be that he was not a lucky player while at Manchester United, we remember how Harry Maguire moved to Manchester United at that time he was one of the best players at Leicester City but after playing with Manchester United he seems to have lost his ability well maybe Mason Mount is experiencing the same thing. Regarding Mason Mount, in one season his market value has decreased by around 50% even though he is a potential player with a 25 year age.

The Blues under Boehly are a mess, the management of this club is very unmanageable and now Enzo does not look convincing to provide something different from Pochettino.

Actually, pre-season matches cannot be an image when the league starts. But maybe the current condition is indeed Chelsea will need time for a lot of trials. Enzo Maresca brought a big change, the players seemed to still be adapting to his tactical patterns. Enzo Maresca is able to bring Leicester City Promotion directly to the EPL, he should indeed deserve to be with Chelsea. The EPL will start on August 17 and the transfer market is still a long way off, I think Chelsea still have time to continue to improve the team.

Man city 3 - 4 Celtic

We saw match between Celtic football team and Man City football team in the Kenan Memorial Stadium . That match was  not one sided and every person enjoyed this match . The shots of Man City team were more in number and shots on target were also more in number  but Man  City team could win this match because they did only 3 goals in this match and opponent team did 4 four goals in this match. Kühn was the person who played excellent role to win this match because he did 2 goals in this match and that is not easy to do 2 goals against Man City. Both team were of same capacity but onlyone teams wins the  match. Palma did excellent goal and after that no team did any goal and according to my point of view Palma is match winner and he did goal at best time and he did at 68 minutes of  match.

Even Pochettino, who did well in last pre-season, struggled in the EPL. I can't imagine how bad Chelsea will be this season. Don't be delusional about it. Though It was a pre-season match. But, it's still a thing. Losing 1-4 with most of your main players is embarrassing after you spent 1 billion to rebuild your club. Especially how the new coach has been hyped for weeks. If Chelsea improves, they shouldn't lose to Celtic after spending a billion.

Chelsea gonna face City, Real, Inter in the next games. If Chelsea will be humiliated by those teams, it makes no sense to use a friendly match as an excuse. I predict Chelsea to finish at 10th.

There is a lot of time until August 17, many things can change in the team. If they make a few transfers they will be much more ready for the EPL. Moreover, the matches they will be playing now require real training and preparation, perhaps they can develop a tactic to make the players they have play better. Players who are not thought to be very successful can also shine, there are many players with high potential in this team

Enzo Maresca four pre season matches left before facing Manchester City on the first Premier League match, he must find right composition players and have good start if want secure the top fourth target by management or possibility sack from his position if Chelsea get bad start on the Premier League match.

Not only too early, but too much just because of losing a friendly match. Enzo is immediately at risk of being fired? It's strange and very unethical to judge the performance of a team that Enzo has just coached and then fired. This is not a comedy football, everything needs a process of improvement, evaluation, and many tasks to be completed. My advice, if you have drawn a conclusion from the friendly match and finally feel that Enzo needs to be fired, it's better not to watch football.

Unless the official league has started and at the end of the season Enzo still doesn't give better results, then go ahead and say Enzo was fired, because that could be a strong reason because he has played officially. Being fired for 1 season is common because it's a matter of satisfaction of the club owner and fans.

Lolz...Chelsea is equipping their team so that in case of any injury they can have replacement. I hope that the management and the new coach knows what they are doing because it is not by buying players that will not be able to give good contribution to the club performance for success, if not they are wasting their funds. Having three goalkeepers is weird because two is okay since only one needs to be on the field but I understand why they got three because no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Almost all the clubs in the PL are having their preseason matches. it is too early to judge any of them with the good or bad results of their matches.
Chelsea is having a bad preseason match, they are not the only club having bad results in the preseason if we are to check.
However, it is too early for anyone to think less of Enzo at this preseason match before the start of the league season. If the PL season begins today, Enzo wouldn't start immediately to start winning matches for the Chelsea team, annoying match losses would occur before Chelsea would begin to see winnings as they are meant to. This is a new regime of a new coach, not that of Pochettino. Enzo needs as much time as possible before he can begin to introduce Chelsea back to her previous winning ways when Pochettino was in charge of Chelsea's coach.

It was just a pre-season match which is still not counted as a real season so there is still no need to talk about firing a coach because Enzo Maresca has just started his job and has not yet carried out all the tasks that have been entrusted to him by Chelsea. Because firing a coach is not just about one or two matches in the pre-season, but about his performance throughout the season so for now it is clearly still quite early to make such a conclusion. Because a team like Celtic was not only able to beat Chelsea in pre-season, but there were also several other teams that they beat in the current pre-season.

Clearly they are in for business, making profits is their aim in all this transfer and signing youngsters. Chelsea owners don’t seem to prioritize winning trophies for now their system is to try and invest in youngsters and sell them off at a little higher price than they bought them. All the players they have signed can hardly make it to the first team and they may end up being loaned out. A replacement have been signed for Petrovic already and everyone seem to be confused why Petrovic is the one to be sold and not Sanchez despite having a better season than Sanchez but then i realized selling Petrovic will be more profitable and so i thought this is what they plan to do with most players they are buying.

Has he been over criticize since the big move to Man UTD? What do you make of this.

Regarding Mason Mount, in one season his market value has decreased by around 50% even though he is a potential player with a 25 year age.

Is hard to just get it right for some players and with the man Mount I feel he hasn't gotten that connection with the rest of Manchester United players so that is why that drive of getting the best of him even when he came back from injury wasn't there. He has everything a team wants but he needs time to adjust with the other teammates, like we see the connection between Rashford and Sancho, I think Mount has a chance before the league starts to get into the team properly.
Maguire's case is a bit different from that of Mason Mount, Harry Maguire is only one player who isn't consistent since his move to Man UTD but Mount only has this season to prove many wrong and I think if the midfield is a bit strong the player can squeeze in some special ability to help the team better, but the help you talked about has to come from the manager, how he makes his selections.
