Chelsea is an object lesson for a club that tries to overrun a strong league with money. In contrast to PSG where there are no other super rich clubs pumping money into the team as if there was no tomorrow, Chelsea had to learn that a billion is not enough to buy the Premier League title. They have also made some awkward decisions in general and I don't know whether any Premier League club in the history has spent so much money in such a short amount of time. They had a player fluctuation that was getting ridiculous. They were swapping faces as if they were shuffling cards.

Chelsea has quite big ambitions to restore the glory of the Abramovich era, but the current club owner does not have a strategy for rebuilding his team. Money can bring in any player they want but without strategy and calculation in developing the team, the money spent on bringing in players is like they were thrown into the trash. Pochettino is not a great coach, he often manages different clubs and ends up always being dismissed from his job, Chelsea has never learned from Manchester United's experience of frequently changing coaches.

The main problem Chelsea faced was not the players, but the coach who formulated the strategy in the game. They made a big mistake when they fired Tuchel, who was then replaced by Pochettino. In general, Pochettino has failed to manage Chelsea, the club must look for a great coach like Zidane, Xabi Alonso or another experienced coach who has presented prestigious trophies for the clubs he has managed.

Yes, Chelsea seems to want to rebuild their glory days in the season where they always won the Premier League trophy which currently seems difficult to achieve. Chelsea is wasting too much money recruiting players who are not that important and appointing coaches who don't have much experience managing clubs so big that Chelsea are increasingly having bad luck competing with mediocre clubs and have difficulty stabilizing their performance to appear more consistent and it's true that Chelsea should learn from Manchester United who keep changing coach, causing them to experience a decline. Manchester United loses its glory days, Chelsea also loses its time. its success so that now we will see clubs that are able to compete better in the Premier League.

In my opinion, players and coach playing a very important role in the progress of the clubs. Such as when Chelsea was still coaches by Tuchel and Chelsea were able to finish in 3rd place in the 2021/22 season and in fact Tuchel is an experience coaches. In fact Bayern Munich can be consistently handled by him because Bayern Munich has squad depth strong, if Chelsea has an experienced coach and does not have adequate squad depth it will also be the same and it will be a difficult task for the coach to build the club performance.

I would call that chelesea's owner this time has been successfully destroying the club. It means that if chelsea is playing so average like a relegated team. It has no good attackers or defenders. Mid is not even having creativity to distributing the ball to the attackers without even being read by its opponent. The gameplay of chelsea is very very monoton. This club has been losing its glory days when chelsea was able winning everything through implementing very attractive football.

Enough is enough. todd and poch shall out from the club. Chelsea will always stuck int he same place if chelsea keeps to pick the wrong coach. The club shall have picked xabi alonso as a new coach. he is someone who is in the same level as pep and jose mourinho.
Im sure chelsea will get its succcess as long as it will able to land xabi to the club. This is another disgusting result from chelsea. There may be many fans who watched that horrible match has been missing their breakfast with their family.

Chelsea is a shitty club with horrible gameplay. This is another bad performance from chelsea. Poch never learned.

But their averageness is getting cemented by all these super fails against weak teams or weaker teams, not to be disrespectful towards the Wolverhampton Wanderers.  

Chelsea to me are just victims to their own mentality, because they really step up against the big teams and then become an embarrassment when they play against the small teams. I see no reason why Chelsea should be losing games at this point, they have been able to pass the stage where they lost every game, now they need to sort out their mentality, get it to be stable and consistent, so they can win all games, big and small against all teams.

Chelsea is no longer a good team. It's like the manager and the players haven't got used to it. This team still hasn't forgotten the Tuchel era and this situation needs to change radically, otherwise chelsea will remain a mid-level team. In minute 31, Sterling sells the last game. Now that Nkunku is back, they need to build the team around him and send Sterling packing. Pep wouldn't have sent him off if he was any good. It's sad that the team that won the champions league 2 years ago has fallen so far in such a short time.

Chelsea is a relegation standard team this time.  What's going on with chelsea mate, i mean seriously like when you think the club has made a little bit of progress but it's destroyed instantly after that. Chelsea has got golden momentum once it has been winning against newcastle in the carabao cup. Why shall chelsea lose against the bad club like wolves? i can't even understand it right now. Chelsea is performing differently compared to the against newcastle. May i wrong about it or what? I don't even really care to this club anymore or whatsoever.  Chelsea goes down to the ground again and again after it was creating a small step to go up. Absolutely embarassing performance from chelsea. 90 minutes against wolves was an absolute disgrace. Chelsea is slowly but surely turns to be another shitty team this time.  I didn't particularly agree with the line up used by pochettino. Chelsea knows so well how to disappointed all of their fans. This is another embarassing result from the team. It's obvious that mudryk should have started since the first half but poch gave him start from the bench.

.Yes, the owners are really spoiling this team, like why sign players with such huge amount and when they don’t perform you still give them some comforts and pats at the back after the match. Where’s the scolding spirit of Roman, he’ll fly from wherever he’s and speak to this team directly and when they tend not to heed his talk, either he flushes out some players or the coach is out on the street. But currently, we don’t know who to blame, the players or the coach because the owners are just mute about the whole situation but still ready to spill the cash in the January window.

 Xabi Alonso is one good coach but he shouldn’t be compared to Pep and Mourinho yet, though he wouldn’t want to come as he’s Madrid bound. I think Chelsea should watch out for Xavi or probably get Mourinho a return back to the club. The results keep getting crazy and the fans are actually tired of this. Crazy how the pride of London are now the Laughing stock of the city.

You call it the Tuchel era, but I wouldn't call that an era to be honest. It was about 1.5 years that he stayed at Chelsea and they weren't really doing that well when he got sacked, although I know that the main reason was the change in ownership of the club.

But sure he won the Champions League with Chelsea, but we should not forget that he took over when they were qualified for the final round already and, well, nobody can take it away from him, which is fine, but it wasn't the most convincing Champions League title that I have seen.

However, it is true that a lot of people were shedding tears once he was gone and Chelsea didn't improve at all.

Aston Villa in the last 1year have been the highest point takers in the EPL. They've been exceptional at their games, winning almost always and ensuring that they stay at the top chart. No one saw them coming and they've been able to be consistent, keeping home win records this season and they've not failed to cause troubles for teams.

 They've got the capacity to remain on top but I really don't think City who's now below them would let them stay there, so if at all there'd be a change in the standings, then Villa won't go below the 6th position. They're so good to even try qualifying for the UEL next season. As competitive as the EPL has been this year, so far Villa have proven to be strong enough to fight back threats and create value and confidence in the team too.

Aston Villa have indeed been exceptional in their games that surprises many by consistently winning and maintaining a strong position in the league. The fact that Aston Villa has been the highest point taker in the EPL over the last year speaks volumes about their effectiveness on the field. Their ability to win games consistently and have a home win record this season prove Emery's capability who build the team with resilience and competitiveness.

In Premier League that's known for the competitiveness and unpredictability, their ability to cause troubles for opposing teams and stay consistently at the top four is a testament to their quality and effectiveness. Considering their current position above Manchester City who is known for their strong performances, will likely strive to reclaim the top spot. I think, If nothing really bad happens, Aston Villa is strong enough to remain in the top four based on their recent form.

In my opinion, there are 3 clubs that can take advantage of opportunities when Manchester City experiences a decline, such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa which can take advantage of situations like this to improve consistently until they can reach the top 3 positions in the points table and indeed most people are surprised by this increase because initially Arsenal managed to get first position after that Liverpool and finally Aston Villa who succeeded in pursuing this opportunity.
This season's Premier League is becoming more interesting. Manchester City's dominance has been broken by these 3 clubs and I'm sure this will be a very competitive competition and if MC doesn't improve their performance soon I'm sure this season won't belong to Manchester City and they will have to give up the Premier League title in taken over by another club.
After this we will continue to see very strong competition from several big 3 clubs and I have the idea that Arsenal can get the premier league title.

Newcastle vs Nottm Forest team match will start tomorrow in Premier League. I am worried about which team will win this match. I am thinking of placing a bet in support of Newcastle team but I still don't understand how Newcastle team will perform in Tomorrow match. Points table from Nottm Forest team.  Nottm Forest team is at number 17 in the points table. On the other hand, Newcastle is at number 7. I hope to enjoy a very nice match between the two teams tomorrow.

I really do not think that Aston Villa would be the ones that could take that advantage of this situation, I mean that doesn't mean that we could see Aston Villa lose a bunch of games, I am just saying that if there will be any champions, it won't be Aston Villa at all, they are not really as good as people think they are, they are just decent and taking advantage of a season where most of the big clubs are doing badly.

Next season, if United does better, if Chelsea does better, if Newcastle does better, which they all should, then where do you think Aston Villa will be? Like at best 7th, maybe not even that. This is why I think it's best for Arsenal and Liverpool, nobody else, it's really not that much of a big deal.

[BIT-BENDER]

Well I think Arsenal has a strong hold on the English premier league, they have shown they want it more than Manchester city or Liverpool this season and I am giving them my support. ARTETA has really done a lot of the team so far and I don't see anything stopping them aside from themselves.
They need to remain consistent and face every game like their last and with time they can sit comfortably at the top of the league when it finishes.

It's not a fair point to consider the current success of Aston Villa in the context of other teams struggling, because they also won against Manchester City and Arsenal who are not struggling. Premier League is an intense competition where the performance of top clubs can influence the standings significantly. But it doesnt mean other clubs can't improve to a level of traditional big clubs.

Aston Villa just need to maintain consistency and competitiveness that they have shown so far in the face of big ckubs. Predicting where a team will finish in the league is a complex task, and there are numerous variables at play. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season unfolds and whether Aston Villa can sustain their current form or if the landscape of the league shifts in the upcoming seasons.

If there was another VAR incident to the detriment of Liverpool I think Klopp will die from a heart attack after the game when he gives his press conference. They haven't had very good experiences with the VAR recently if you know what I mean.

But the game is a top game, both having their chances but now it is nearing the end and it seems this game might be won by a lucky punch. I was quite sure we would get to see at least two more goals during the second half, but somehow it's not gonna happen until now. But there are advantages for Liverpool as they are trying harder.

Yeah, I still remember the goal that wasn't given to Liverpool in the Tottenham game. Diaz scored a legit goal but it was disallowed anyway. A very short time after there was a statement by the referees body PGMOL that it was a mistake made there about the offside call. But it was too late. Liverpool still have to deal with the referees on one hand. 

By the way that big goal chance wasted by Trent Alexander-Arnold could cost Liverpool too much. Because that could have been the winner.

As the title race is really tight none of the contenders have much luxury of wasting goal chances like this.

Liverpool could have been at the top of the table if that VAR decision was correct. But VAR is a thing where technology is used and this should not have happened in the first place. The referee involved were punished but that doesn’t justify things.

Liverpool fans are furious whenever they are asked about that VAR thing and it also happened with them before. After that draw against Arsenal (which was expected), they are in the 2nd spot in the Premier League right now. Aston Villa missed their chance to get on the top of the table. It's almost half of the season done right now and the premier league top fight is looking juicy.

This season's flash team, Aston Villa, will play away against Manu tomorrow.
There are statistics between Manu and Aston Villa. Manchester United has a success rate of 68%, having won 38 of the 56 matches against Aston Villa in the Premier League history (D13 L5), but tomorrow's match will be very different. Because Aston Villa is in great form and Manu is just as out of form.
 Their elimination from the Champions League affected the players very badly.
I think Aston Villa will leave the field with the worst possible draw result.

[Spack17]

I would never trust Manchester United against Aston Villa for winning the match tomorrow. The change in the odds of these teams is just unbelievable. First Manchester United were highly favoured but now the balances have changed too much. Aston Villa are currently slightly favoured side according to my source. Actually this change shouldn't be very surprising either. Because the current condition of Manchester United is obvious. They are just performing very poorly and this has seemed clearly lately in the results they got.

Manchester United are struggling with injury problem a lot too. I would rather bet on Aston Villa's double chance here.

I give them a little benefit of the doubt as they are playing at home and Aston Villa plays best when they play home themselves. But Aston Villa is not immune to subpar performances as we could see when they played against bottom-placed Sheffield United. So trust is too much of the good for Manchester United, I would certainly not trust them either and I would not bet on them as they can literally lose any game against any opponent no matter whether they are playing at home or away from home, but let's see how this yet relatively interesting game between these two clubs will go. Will it perhaps be the last shot for ten Hag this year and if they don't win he is gone?

Chelsea is no longer a good team. It's like the manager and the players haven't got used to it. This team still hasn't forgotten the Tuchel era and this situation needs to change radically, otherwise chelsea will remain a mid-level team. In minute 31, Sterling sells the last game. Now that Nkunku is back, they need to build the team around him and send Sterling packing. Pep wouldn't have sent him off if he was any good. It's sad that the team that won the champions league 2 years ago has fallen so far in such a short time.

Despite the defeat, Chelsea still showed some positive signs with the emergence of Nkunku. He affirmed his value right in his Premier League debut. According to stats from Fotmob, he also had the most shots on target in this match, surpassing his teammate Nicolas Jackson, who only had one attempt in the entire 80-minute game, but it didn't hit the target. In the future, Nkunku could be the real savior for Chelsea, as anticipated by Pochettino.

In terms of squad strength and current form, it's clear that Aston Villa is significantly better than Man United. Especially, the fighting spirit of Aston Villa players seems to be higher than what the Man United players have demonstrated recently. However, Man United could still secure a point against Aston Villa if they adopt a defensive strategy across all three lines, just like in the previous match against Liverpool.
If they defend well and are fortunate enough to capitalize on some mistakes from Aston Villa, they might score. I believe it would be a heavy defeat if Man United attempts to attack Aston Villa in this match.

Chelsea to me are just victims to their own mentality, because they really step up against the big teams and then become an embarrassment when they play against the small teams. I see no reason why Chelsea should be losing games at this point, they have been able to pass the stage where they lost every game, now they need to sort out their mentality, get it to be stable and consistent, so they can win all games, big and small against all teams.

They are the most inconsistent team i have seen this season and the fact that they do play well against bigger opponents and play woefully against smaller teams is a prove that they lack a lot of things, they lack the mentality to compete for a spot in the top 4. I hope they improve on this soon so we can see a better Chelsea performance next season or rather they can work on their performance by January. They have quality players which they can compete just like other teams but since majority of the players are new players maybe thats the reason why they are still lacking somethings at the moment but I believe they would bounce back and they will be dangerous.

I hope to enjoy a very nice match between the two teams tomorrow.

This match will going to be a tough match but it will not going to be a draw match because Newcastle united have some squads that will make them to use second half to get goals that will give them victory at the end of the match. If you look at their last match very well despite that the two teams won their match, you will know that Newcastle united will be the team that will achieve victory from this match, because their points is more higher than Nottingham forest which will be one of the advantage they will use to battle with Nottingham forest in their home to defeat them 3-1  for the favour of Newcastle united.

 Xabi Alonso is one good coach but he shouldn’t be compared to Pep and Mourinho yet, though he wouldn’t want to come as he’s Madrid bound. I think Chelsea should watch out for Xavi or probably get Mourinho a return back to the club. The results keep getting crazy and the fans are actually tired of this. Crazy how the pride of London are now the Laughing stock of the city.

Sorry but I really believe in Xabi's abilities as a coach. Even though Xabi cannot be compared to Pep or Mourinho because they are older and more experienced, a young coach can also be a great coach nowadays because of his openness of information and ability to adapt to the times. What this means is that modern football is not the same as football in the past, so every coach, be it Pep or Xabi, has the same opportunity to become a great coach.
