If this habit is not changed immediately, Chelsea will always have difficulty winning the EPL and Champions League trophies. It is very impossible for the newly-arrived coach to meet the club's expectations in his first season, the first season is a transition or to start improving the squad to slowly get out of the slump.
The process is something that cannot be excluded, Chelsea's treatment of Tuchel and Pochettino is a hasty action without waiting for the results achieved after going through the process. It will be very difficult for Chelsea to develop if they are still under pressure or controlled by the fans, the request from Chelsea fans to ask Todd Boehly to send a message to Lampard indicates that Chelsea's top brass are still in the grip of the fans.

We see in the news that Chelsea have also bought some players. They are a very good team and they will continue to fight for the championship this year. Chelsea may not be champions but they should finish the league in the top ranks for the Champions League goal. I know how competitive the Premier League is. I hope they achieve the success they expect this year.

Todd Boehly spent more than 1 billion euros on transfers. Apart from Thomas Tuchel, his choice of manager is very questionable. Names like Graham Potter and Lampard have disappointed with their performances. Likewise, the transfers have also been disappointing. Nkunku, Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez failed to reach their potential. Actually, I don't blame these young players because the chaotic situation of Chelsea club is not something they can change. Chelsea need a president who knows his job, in my opinion. When we compare the Roman Abramovich era with the Todd Boehly era, everything becomes clearer.

The expectation of Chelsea's fans is for their club to do well and win the title for them. They are passionate about the team but it they are aware that they pay handsomely for stadium tickets and flight ticket, hotel rooms, and other expenses anytime they come to watch their favorite team. The only thing tey want in return is to win, win and win again. That is what would be satisfying for their fans.

Anyway, Lampard is not worth the hype he has not been doing well and I dont think he is the savior Chelsea needs now. Pochettino is still doing great for the club. They only need to adjust with the player they have to do better when the season starts.

Chelsea really spent a lot of money last season. In Todd Boehly's era Chelsea had spent around a billion pounds on player purchases and unfortunately they failed in any competition. I think it is natural that fans are disappointed with the previous manager because the money given was wasted because they failed to choose good players. This is different from Roman Abramovich's era who also bought a lot of players but they managed to become a successful team.

I don't know which fan asked to send a message to Lampard. I know Lampard is a Chelsea legend and was one of the best midfielders in the world at that time. But his career as a coach was not so good. Did the person who asked to send a message think that Lampard would be like Alonso because they were both midfielders?

Chelsea fired Pochettino because they were deemed unable to make Chelsea better last season, but actually if we look at it there might be another reason for the dismissal because at the end of last season Chelsea was able to recover even though it was a little late, in my opinion the pre-season match cannot be a reference. for management or fans to claim whether their team's performance is bad or good, because after all pre-season matches are just an opportunity for coaches to experiment with strategies and also see the mentality of their players and clearly that cannot be a reference, currently Chelsea is mostly filled with young players and of course it will take time for Maresca to form the mentality of these young players to be able to compete in the EPL, in my opinion the fans desire to bring in Lampard is perhaps to be able to fill one of the positions on the coaching staff, because we can see that currently many football clubs are bringing in their former players to become the coaching staff so that it will be easier to shape the mentality and performance of these players because after all Lampard is a living legend for Chelsea all this time.

Indeed, when we talk about the beginning of the season and the first season, there is definitely an adaptation that makes Chelsea's performance erratic but overall I think we can see that Chelsea's performance is actually not that bad for Poche's first season at Chelsea.

As for Maresca now we just need to wait for what he will show in the new Chelsea season and of course with all the performance he has later.
But by looking at Chelsea's performance in friendly matches some time ago we can know that Maresca and Chelsea still have a lot of things they have to work on especially for chemistry issues because even though in friendly matches sometimes the final result is not the goal but we can also see Chelsea's weakness in defense is very big for now.

Gabriel Jesus' form has certainly declined in the 2023/24 season. After scoring 11 goals and assisting six in his first campaign for Arsenal, he only scored four goals and assisted five in his second campaign. Kai Havertz performed well towards the end of last season, making Jesus' absence less significant, many have forgotten the quality of Gabriel Jesus. Jesus needs to improve further this season and increase his goalscoring tally if he is to retain his starting place.

With a five-year contract signed, Gabriel Jesus still has three years left on his contract with Arsenal. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar are keen to sign a new striker. Arteta could copy Pep's formula for Jesus and sell him this summer. A substantial fee and the prospect of a title-challenging striker would be too tempting, If a striker is brought in, Havertz could return to midfield, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as wingers. We shouldn't rule that out.

You understand how Chelsea team is, Chelsea is a team that even the fans control and when the fans control a team there will never be progress, I have been looking at Chelsea for the past 3 years now, and all they do is sack coach up and down, they sacked coaches because the coach fails to win them a trophy, let be honest with each other, it is not easy to coach a team and when a coach is being brought to the team a team needs to trust the coach and let him do his job but Chelsea doesn’t know that, any coach that fails in a season is going to be sacked and those people who said that are the fans.

The Chelsea owners need to know how to control their team, they should not allow the fans to let the team turn into something else, I know that fans have the right to talk when a team is not performing well but sacking coaches anyhow when the fans are complaining is not good, Diego Simeone failed to win a trophy for Atletico Madrid but the club trusts him that is why they are always happy with him even when the team doesn’t win any trophy in a season, Chelsea needs to learn a lot because at the end no one will want to coach the team again.

it's always been an issue when we try to bring a correlation between sports and business and that's where the issue with pochetino's sack comes in. The club isn't looking at the effect her decision will have on the teams performance but only looks at getting a manger they can totally control. From all indication, porchetino was completely on track with the Chelsea player and they hard figured out how to blend well as a team and a lot of playing where comfortable with his style of play which should have helped the team a lot coming into this season but like it's always been, they don't want to take away business from the equation and sadly, the team has to go through another process of adapting to a different style of play which is completely demoralizing for any player and will certainly tell on the performance of the players.
in this case, the players are in the best position to know if they can work well with the new manager. Generally, pre season results aren't always something too spectacular for most clubs and from all indication, all the big clubs that even did better than Chelsea in the last season and that still maintained thier coaches are still facing same fate with Chelsea. They can still heal and maybe play well when the season commence in full swing but they will really suffer and struggle in most of thier early matches except they signs a good attacker that will peer up with Jackson upfront.

Changes takes time, and if you are a great Manchester United fan who wants change, you'll be pushing for Manchester United to get done with players like Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Scott MC Tominay, Aaron Wan Bisakka and those players contributing bringing down the clubs with low standards.
When you look at how they played against Liverpool last season and also against Manchester City, you'd see that they're gradually pushing backup.

I do not know too well about the Colombians, but I know James Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado. What I know is all about Manchester United and I know when they're not doing well. You cannot want them to win the  Champions League Competition with these poor standards my guy, they have a while lot to do..

In thr next few days ahead they'll be up against Manchester City in the community shield. Manchester United will not win that game because I know they're not even ready yet, the signatures I expected to be done are not done yet.

Chelsea should be chasing the tittle if they want fans still come to stamford bridge. but yeah it's a bit difficult especially they are in the best league in the world, maybe with the current composition of players now, chelsea will be the champion if they are in a league where the competition is not tight like ligue 1 or eredivisie. Chelsea have to fight hard right now, the team on premier league getting stronger day by day with many large investors invest their money on the club. I don't think if just equating them Chelsea able to be a champion because some clubs have already gone ahead to recruit the new best player and coach.

On my own opinion, this is the major problem of arsenal, and that is why they can't win the premier league and they wouldn't win it anytime soon, because they have failed to understand that it's unheard of that a team will be crown champions without a prolific attacker that's going to guarantee then the least 20 goals per season, and right now, arsenal don't have such player in their team, so tell me why they are actually going to the premier league when they have fail to understand this?

Ok let's look at the historical record of those teams that has won the English premier league, they always have an attacking player that guarantee then 20 goals plus per season, but this arsenal team don't have such player, and the bad part about it is that Mikel arteta is not planning to fix that, with the hopes that havertz is going to deliver the goods in that position, which i strongly disagree, Kyle havertz isn't an attacker and he barely produce more than 15 goals per season, so if that department isn't addressed, I can bet that arsenal is never going to win the premier league anytime soon.

You and I know that Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta is not buying a striker. if he buys one, I will dance for street naked. This man I know, will put his trusts in Kai Havertz and Jesus until they prove otherwise. Arsenal still need a striker even if Kai Havertz is the first choice because Gabriel Jesus won’t take them anywhere. He’s not reliable and consistent. His injury record has been the cause of his poor form since his arrival in Arsenal.
Arteta seems to be prioritizing other positions in the squad, which seems like Arteta does not think his team needs a striker. I’m sure that Arsenal won't drop €80m, €100m for a striker, that’s not happening. Benjamin Sesko was their best bet and probably he wasn't guaranteed being on every starting lineup. Honestly, I will want them to get a new striker before the end of the transfer window，but if they don't get one, I still expect them to win the EPL title.

But what's the negative about fans that want their coach to win a title when the club that is coached is called Chelsea? I think it is not the same when the discussion is about Bournemouth, but a team like Chelsea with all the investment they have made into the team over recent years should of course aim for a top result. Does it have to be the title? I don't know, but I understand as a fan that if a billion was pumped into the squad and I pay horrendously ticket prices that there is some demand created for success on the fans' part.

What should they expect in your opinion? You are right about Lampard though, he hasn't been doing very well.

Lol, Chelsea will end up like Manchester United, a team that get controlled by fans and never trust a process, all they want is coach must able to make the team to win Premier League and Champions League in his first season.

Anyway why the fans asked Todd Boehly to message Lampard? Lampard is a failed coach.

Logically, Pochettino deserves a chance to stay for another season. He brought Chelsea to 6th place. This was a big achievement, as they finished 12th under Lampard previously. The decision to sack Pochettino is the worst ever i seen. Pochettino had given his best last season for Chelsea. And it was his first season with a young, inexperienced squad after a major overhaul of the club. Boehly once again did it wrong by firing Pochettino from his position as head coach.

About Chelsea's performance, I'm not sure they will improve. No improvement so far has been shown by Chelsea in the pre-season games. Pochettino did better in the pre-season games compared to Maresca.
That's why fans have asked Todd Boehly to message Lampard. Fans are expecting Todd boehly to sack Maresca in the middle of the season. Fans are not having big expectation to the Maresca.

Pochettino's help has not helped Chelsea's start to the season. Despite performing well in a few matches, we saw Chelsea's erratic and poor performance in most of the matches. And this is why Chelsea management decided to change their coach in the middle of the season. But gradually Pochettino was able to stabilize the Chelsea squad. And in the last few games of the season we have seen consistently good performances from Chelsea. Then the Chelsea management should have withdrawn from the decision to change the coach. But the Chelsea management didn't do that, and eventually they sacked coach Poch

Chelsea have changed their coach. Enzo Maresca is now Chelsea's new coach. But is Enzo Maresca an experienced enough coach? He coached Leicester City last season. And the team qualified for the Premier League with the help of Enzo. But can Enzo bring the Chelsea team into the top 4 of the Premier League table? I have enough doubts.

The first season for Poche was actually very good but because of the less harmonious relationship it accelerated his coaching career at Chelsea and I think we are too cornered Todd in this case even though it was Todd's fault for preparing to find a new coach when mid-season Chelsea was not very good in terms of performance but towards the end of the season we could see that their performance improved with Poche's cold hands.

This is not about a matter of trust between Chelsea and Todd but indeed Poche left based on his own wishes because we know what happened was that Poche really wanted to leave Chelsea not being fired so when the decision has been taken and both parties have agreed to part ways amicably then why be forced because Poche and Chelsea have their own path.

Saliba is a player who can always be wanted in the team. He contributes a lot to the game and has the potential to develop. There are very few players that Real Madrid wants but cannot get, and I think Arsenal is pleased with Real Madrid's lack of insistence. In order for Arsenal to realize his dream, they have to maintain the quality of the squad and increase this level with better quality players.

Leny Yoro's injury has put Manchester United in a difficult situation. They still have time to make transfers, but this means additional costs. The club is a bit unlucky in this regard. I don't think Ten Hag can show a different understanding on the field than last season. Manchester United has many deficiencies and it is very difficult to fix these deficiencies.
