I don't think any right thinking Chelsea fans would expect a team that finished 10th last season to automatically compete for titles the following season just because we got a new manager. The main target for him, is finishing the team in the top4 anything less is unacceptable.

It seems I'm the only Chelsea fan who doesn't get hyped up easily; they see success, I see a struggling unbalanced team with too many dead words. Totteham would do wonders
I think a decent FA and Carabao Cup run and finishing in the top four would be classed as a successful first season for Alonso. He has had pre-season with his players and he is a brilliant manager therefore there can be no excuses if Chelsea fail to make an impact in the Premier League.

If you add Chelsea and Tottenham as contenders for the four Champions League spots alongside Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Aston Villa then you have six teams chasing four positions. Manchester City also have a new manager (Maresca) and he has to find immediate success. It will not be easy for the new managers.

Having said all that, I have a feeling that even after all of the money spent by Tottenham it will be Chelsea that will finish higher than them at the end of the season  Grin

And just like Klopp, Iraola will evolve too.  Remember, Klopp's tenure at BVB too sucked at defense.  But he evolved in Liverpool. 

Yes, he did good considering he only spent 200m+ on defensive assets ( GK included) while Pep spent 500m+ at that time - I'm looking forward to which of the new managers would give Arteta run for title this season. Arsenal is currently the favorite at x5 odds to retain the title.




A friend of mine says that with Arsenal's Bruno Guimaraes acquisition and with his possible pairing with Declan Rice, Arsenal has the best midfield pairing in the EPL...  This true?  I haven't really watched the EPL too closely in recent years.

But if he's right then Arsenal is prolly a solid bet now that the EPL is without Guardiola.  But we'll see.  Maybe it's Alonso, maybe it's Maresca...  Maybe even Carrick?  Cheesy Cheesy

Arsenal will face a massive problem, every team in the Premier League wants to beat the champions or wants to stop them from winning. Without a doubt, Arsenal have a very strong squad but if they intend on winning the Premier League again they will have to be mentally prepared for a difficult season.

Newcastle United accepted a £75 million offer from Arsenal for Guimaraes. Also, adding the right players to any squad is essential and Arteta wants the best players.

A friend of mine says that with Arsenal's Bruno Guimaraes acquisition and with his possible pairing with Declan Rice, Arsenal has the best midfield pairing in the EPL...  This true?  I haven't really watched the EPL too closely in recent years.

^  So what...  Is my friend right?  Was it right for him to say that Arsenal has the strongest midfield with the up and coming Guimaraes - Rice partnership?  Grin

I haven't really taken notes on football matches on players for the last couple of seasons so I wouldn't really know.  But I did a quick search and found this...

https://footballanalytics.ai/data/best/premier-league/cm/2025-26

So I guess he's right..

Having said all that, I have a feeling that even after all of the money spent by Tottenham it will be Chelsea that will finish higher than them at the end of the season  Grin

Have they ever finished above us in the last 10 years or so? Nah, the last time they did was in 2015/2016 when Leicester City won the league if I could remember correctly. We could see some improvement from last season, but they'll not finish above Chelsea this season.

^  So what...  Is my friend right?  Was it right for him to say that Arsenal has the strongest midfield with the up and coming Guimaraes - Rice partnership?  Grin

So I guess he's right..

Yes, Bruno G is a beast; I've always liked him, and he has been the heart of Newcastle United's midfield since his arrival. Arsenal has a gem on their hands. He was likely one of the top 5 best midfielders in the league last season, alongside Bruno F, Rice, Enzo, and Cherki imo.

Arsenal have by far the finest midfield options( Eze, Bruno G, Rice, Merino, Odegaard and Zubi) bloody hell..
