I also agree with you. If Chelsea want to improve too quickly, it will never happen. Because the whole situation of Chelsea is very unstable. This team needs to be stabilized. Players need to be confident. The understanding between the players should be improved. And lastly a stable match strategy must be developed. And if all these can be done, Chelsea's performance will return to this consistency. And it can't be done quickly by any coach. So Chelsea management should definitely give a coach 2 seasons in charge and let the coach work independently. If not, I don't think Chelsea's situation will change.

The way Chelsea wants to restore team performance is not going to work for them, because it will be hard and challenging for a manager to restore a team that has been performing poorly for some seasons to get back in just one season and probably get a trophy, because that is what Chelsea management is looking for right now. They change managers.

Every season, and that is why they are performing, they always go back to poor performance anytime the season starts. Instead, they should have one manager for at least 3 or 4 seasons to see if he can deliver a good result, but Chelsea failed to do that. I believe there is no coach who will do that in just one season; rather, giving a coach enough time to see what he can bring to the table is the best thing.

Maybe Boehly wants Chelsea to have quick success like when Tuchel was Chelsea's head coach at that time with Chelsea sacking Lampard. Because after all, Tuchel really managed to achieve rapid success at that time by winning the Champions League trophy in the 2020/2021 season. Amazingly, at that moment Chelsea managed to beat Real Madrid in the semifinals and then Chelsea beat Manchester City in the final match. Obviously, it was a huge achievement for Tuchel at that time, because Real Madrid and Manchester City were the favorites to get the trophy.

But strangely, after this great achievement, Tuchel seemed to have lost his magic in making the team perform well, so that up to now Tuchel has still not succeeded in getting the team he coached to win a trophy. But about Chelsea continuing to change their coaches, I think they probably want quick success like that. But unfortunately, short success like that is very difficult to repeat because it also probably requires a high level of luck too.
Boehly wasn't very patient and that's what happened to him, where he always fired coaches who he thought didn't perform well in their first season coaching Chelsea. Boehly wanted to achieve a big and quick hope but he failed to do that because in the past two seasons Chelsea have not shown significant changes.
Apart from that, many people think that the quick target of becoming champion will definitely be quite difficult because the competition that occurs in the Premier League is very intense and also in terms of strength the other teams are much stronger than Chelsea.

There's a possibility for a manager to restore the Chelsea performance back, but even thought the manager has a plan to restore the team back and the players in the team didn't have good decisions for them self, there's no way the team performance can get back as well.

Honestly that's the the main problems of the Chelsea they never testify their one manager for a long time to know how it can make the team so better, But they're after changing of the manager every season, and there expected a team performance to remain constantly how is going possibly and if they should continue with that I don't think their performance can change anymore.

Currently, Chelsea have quality players, and what they really need is a good head coach. Once they have a good head coach, I have some confidence that Chelsea will play beyond our expectations. Now that they have gotten another head coach, we will first see what happens. If the coach can manage the team well, we are going to witness great performances from Chelsea. Currently, I don't think Chelsea's problem is the players; it’s all about good management.

In the past few seasons, Chelsea have experienced this kind of weak performances. However, when they want to get back to their good form, it doesn't take them many seasons to do so. Therefore, I can't fully say this will be a predictable season for Chelsea before they get their form back. Let's just wait and see how Chelsea performs. With their good performance at the end of last season, I have hope for them next season with their new head coach.

I am not sure that Chelsea is really aiming for the trophy. Of course all these top teams don't start a season to be left behind with empty hands at the end. But the title is unrealistic and should definitely be announced as the official priority for Chelsea. I think they should try to restore their competitiveness over a longer period of time and not just for two or three games in a row at maximum. They need to win these games against the top teams and show much more dominance against teams that have like 1/5th the budget of what Chelsea has.
Chelsea do honestly want to win as many titles they can possibly lay their hands on, that is the reason they consistently choose to change managers untill they get that result but only that the approach is not appropriate to secure for them those titles they hoped for due to neglecting that a progressive stable change doesn't just happen in a team during one season, it requires about two to then decide, but Chelsea has been too quick to sacking their coaches even when there comes signs of improvement.

I don't know why Chelsea management sacked coach Pochettino. We have seen a series of good performances from Chelsea in the last matches of the season. And from this it can be assumed that coach Pochettino was able to stabilize this team. Pochettino was then sacked by the Chelsea management.

However, Chelsea management has appointed a new coach. And spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. But I would say the Chelsea management should give the coach enough time and opportunities. The Chelsea management is living in a fool's paradise if they expect good performances from Chelsea so quickly. The situation of the Chelsea team is very shaky. This group definitely needs time to improve.
The reason was clear, Pochettino doesn’t seem like the perfect candidate for the project the management envision, his tactics don’t suit the style they want and they pictured it will be difficult and will take more time for Pochettino to build the young team they want. Towards the end of the season the team performance improved but it couldn’t convince Todd Boely enough, no one can tell if sacking Pochettino was a bad decision or not but i think it sacking him mid season would have been more problematic because the new coach would be under pressure but bringing in a coach to work with the team during preseason before the season commences is a good idea i also hope he is given enough time to develop the team.

Talks about Manchester city's 115 charges are starting to brew again. The last time the volume of discussion on the charges were like this was towards the end of last season. What changed? Has there been any new developments on the case? Ipl personally would love to see City get punished if any of the shady deals their management did helped them in any way to win those titles that they have won in recent years.

If City is convicted, we can see a whole new dynamics in the league and see teams compete fairly for the title. FA have plenty of work to do because in recent years, there have been more than double the cases of cheating in the premier league.
I don't see any significant developments happening in the case and after all this time Manchester City seem to feel that they have never done anything wrong with every accusation that is accused against them, if we look urge from at the many other clubs in the English league for the FA to immediately deal with the case, it does not make the FA have to move quickly like they did with Everton and Nottingham Forest last season, to be honest, I think the case involving Manchester City seems to have been deliberately left without further investigation from the FA even though they realized that the case existed, previously Manchester City had had several cases related to financial violations but at that time they actually appealed and made UEFA have to close the case immediately.

The financial strength possessed by Manchester City is clearly one of the strengths that makes Manchester City not only able to build a great squad, but their financial strength seems to be a shield that protects them from every lawsuit and is also often a weapon to get free from punishment for financial violations so far , so I think we can't expect that Manchester City will be punished after 115 violations they committed if indeed the authorities The Premier League is still not clean of corruption as once said by boxing legend Tony Bellew who is an Everton fan, I think the case involving Manchester City at the moment  will continue to drag on and will slowly disappear without further action from the FA. 

All the accusations are sum up as 115 and Man City denied all. But in my observation and reading through all the financial mismanagement about the management of the club, I don't think they are all fake or not true. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cgrjv9ydv31o.amp.
The breached of the FFP rules, the UEFA investigation and Man City went for appeal. And the two years ban of the club by UEFA. Though let's see what will happen for the judgement in 2025 in the Summer period. And they are guilty of then the punishment will be severed. So it is better they settle the case out of court to avoid disgrace.

Arsenal has made the David Raya deal permanent by the way. They paid 32 million euros as fee. He was the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the Premier League last season.  Smiley  Ramsdale has really become a backup goalkeeper for them all of a sudden which I'm quite surprised to see. I don't think he is a bad goalkeeper honestly. If he stays at the team I hope he still keeps his focus up and waits for his turn to show his skills again.

But actually I think he deserves to play as the main goalkeeper for another decent team. Raya is strengthening his place at Arsenal so I don't know how often we can see Ramsdale from now on.  Sad

You and I know that Chelsea is not a club that's patient with their managers. To be honest I thought that brutality ended with Abrahimovic era, but it appears that's not the case. Judging by how they have been firing managers since the new owners took over. Every coach who is going to Chelsea already understand this fact and they know that they have to buckle up. Even if the results are not that very satisfactory at least they should make the europa league spot. But a situation whereby at the end of the season they don't achieve that the manager risks sacking. But if the fact is to be followed, one season is not enough for a coach to transform the fortune of the club, given the fact that they are still rebuilding the squad to be competitive at all front. But I have this great feeling that Enzo Maresca will do better than Porchettino at Chelsea.

I think for two seasons now, Chelsea has been one of the club That is always firing their coaches just because they want an excellent result and the condition at which Chelsea is the need to focus on how to strengthen everything in the club, Chelsea has not been stable. The rate at which They fire, the coaches just because of results is not really what the club needs the earlier the better they understand that things won’t get better overnight and every new coach is made to understand their duty because even before being approved as the head coach, the conditions that must be made to enable your continuity in Chelsea to some extent, it is actually not a bad idea because been a coach at Chelsea means that you have to put in all seriousness to do exactly what the management wants and not what you want as the coach just that they are overdoing it. They need to start giving coaches more time to actually fix a lot of mess, both the ones that was created by the players and the former coaches. After this season, we are going to be able to decide whether the problem of Chelsea comes from the coaches or not. And always feel the new coach would do better than the old coach. How hilarious if you do well congratulations to him and he’s going to continue his stay in Chelsea, but if he does not get the club better he should get ready is bags because the management would definitely do needful.

This is another topic what I'm curious about. If we consider like the case is over and all those titles are taken back from Manchester City in the Premier League. Then what happens?  Huh

I mean will those years be left as blank or will there be a thing like the teams right behind them are called as new champions of those years? I guess the first one would happen because I haven't seen any example of the latter.  Grin

It can really be like the end of an era in England, at least for a while if Manchester City reignite it by climbing back to the Premier League. Anyway we will see about that as we don't even have the result in our hands.
I read an article that said that depriving Manchester City of all their championship titles during 2009 - 2018 was a very, very bad possibility and some people even commented that it seemed to be exaggerated. City will face 115 charges related to FFP and in other news it is reported that City's harshest punishment is a 30 point deduction and expulsion from the Premier League. If City are relegated I don't think it will take long for them to return to the EPL. But there will be a possibility that most of the players and even Pep Guardiola will choose to leave the team.
There is a lot of speculation about the possible punishment that Manchester City will receive if proven guilty, but the problem now is that there is no effort from the Premier League to investigate the case of misconduct committed by Manchester City so I think the case will only be a case that will be lost in time, the big difference is now evident in every case that happens to the big team and also the team In the current league, many parties have protested about the different legal treatment between Manchester City and Everton but the English League authorities have never bothered to do it at all, but despite all that I think the heavy punishment will certainly be faced by Manchester City later if 115 cases are proven, not only deduction of points and also relegation I think the punishment will be heavier than from deduction of points and  relegation, not only in the Premier League, but Manchester City will also experience big problems from UEFA if proven guilty of financial violations so far.

I think the club will find a solution to avoid this bad situation because their really earned those titles on the pitch but I can understand the situation with having a lot of money to spend on players and having too much money to "kill the competition " which they kinda did for a couple of years. Regarding relegation , I think it's going to far with the punishment as I can't remember any club in this situation since Juventus back in 2006 right ? However , if this happens , like you said above , Pep will leave for sure and also a lot of players will do the same.

Palmer isn't even a striker, he's a attacking midfielder. But, he's become the top scorer for Chelsea because Chelsea don't have any good striker, so he need to take care by himself. If Chelsea has a good striker, Palmer will become a good support for the striker.

With sooo many players that currently Chelsea have, they need to sell or loan their players as many as possible or they will suffer bad financial.

Not a right move for Chelsea to sign Osimhen when they still have many players.


Agreed, Palmer isn't a striker. But he really performed like a striker last season.  Grin  However of course Chelsea wouldn't rely on him to score this many goals every season. It is difficult for a midfielder to maintain such performance.


It shows that Palmer is effective as a false 9. This is much like what happened to the real Madrid player, Bellingham. But, i quite agree with you, and it felt we have no striker last season. I think Palmer will stay consistent. He has not yet entered his golden time as a football player.
Palmer can still have a chance to climb even higher.


This is where Chelsea would make use of a real striker who they can benefit from significantly. They are making their investments into midfielders recently but they had better focus on the attacking area as well. Marc Guiu is a new arrival who is a 18-year-old striker. Chelsea is full of young centre-forwards like this. But I think they should actually have a star scorer there to increase the productivity more.


Chelsea had made some investments in their attacking lines, but it wasn't going quite well. Jackson's performance was quite good, but the rest was bad, such as Nkuku & Broja. And again, Gulu is still experienced striker, and he needs more minutes in the main squad.

Jackson is still not good enough. I don't think he should be their main striker because of that.  Sad

We have only jackson as the best striker in Chelsea as for now. Though Chelsea has some strikers (Broja & Nkuku) other than him, I think Jackson is still the best choice now.

About Nkuku & Broja, it's very hard to recommend 'em to take the lead as a striker in the starting line-up. Their performances is always up and down, and compared to the Jackson, they ain't nothin'. Although people was strongly critizing Jackson with his poor performance.

It's good to find someone who thinks the same as me on this topic. Yeah, why would the chairman like to part ways with Pochettino? Only after one season and despite the big improvement in results on final weeks of the season too.  Sad

I think this was a bad action and hopefully they won't regret it. Because one should never be this hasty with a coach. If there's improvement then you should definitely give it a 2nd chance. Klopp revived Liverpool in 3-4 years as a reminder.

I also agree with you. If Chelsea want to improve too quickly, it will never happen. Because the whole situation of Chelsea is very unstable. This team needs to be stabilized. Players need to be confident. The understanding between the players should be improved. And lastly a stable match strategy must be developed. And if all these can be done, Chelsea's performance will return to this consistency. And it can't be done quickly by any coach. So Chelsea management should definitely give a coach 2 seasons in charge and let the coach work independently. If not, I don't think Chelsea's situation will change.

I'm very surprised that Liverpool is yet to sign a new player at this time of the summer. After Jurgen Klopp left the club, I expect the new manager to sign few new players that'll probably suit his style of football but since he's yet to sign any
At the moment I have not heard any rumors regarding the players Arne Slot will recruit for Liverpool in this transfer market. But I think it is impossible if Arne Slot doesn't make any player purchases in his first season. Slot has tactics and vision of the game that may be slightly different from Klopp's. And of course it usually benefits a new coach to get some players in his first season. Liverpool are not in bad financial shape although they are not a rich club. So I'm sure that in the remaining transfer period they will also buy several players.
We do not hear about the transfer that is happening to Liverpool at the moment even though they are linked with many players, at this time maybe Liverpool is still trying to monitor the players they will recruit and in order to be able to compete in the English League championship next season, Liverpool of course It will not be careless in buying players, Liverpool's movement in the transfer market is indeed not very highlighted by the media but I think they currently definitely have several names that they will recruit, Arne Slot seems to be very selective in choosing players to recruit to really suit the needs of their team next season, there is still a lot of time left in the transfer market allows for Arne Slot to be able to monitor more good and talented players which will indeed be in accordance with his game scheme next season.

I guess now Slot can think that with the team that he doesn't need any changes or a new player, it's that it's difficult because finding a team where most of them are very good, it's hard to make changes, because first you have to work with what you have, and the current players are very good and that's what should be considered, I don't know where Liverpool's weaknesses could be, their attack is good, so they don't need a striker, their midfield and defense too, I think that after playing some friendly matches the coach has to realize what the vulnerabilities are.

It is indeed hard to find any such area in a successful and scoring team like Liverpool. Coaches will often have their players evaluated in scrimmages or other contests, taking measure of potential weaknesses that might not be so glaring as others.

That being said, while Liverpool front three is packed with firepower and it has quality in midfield as well when coached to be efficient its backline might even leave space for some nuances of gameplay or tactical adjustments or sufficient squad depth on certain positions through the year. This "winning" team must in a state of constant equilibrium- evaluation and adaptation - to keep the good parts stronger, making sure that their weaknesses are at least turned into neutral play or deployed like tactical time bombs.

Well on the way that even though they look strong together, there are still development and planning until eternity.

We do not hear about the transfer that is happening to Liverpool at the moment even though they are linked with many players, at this time maybe Liverpool is still trying to monitor the players they will recruit and in order to be able to compete in the English League championship next season, Liverpool of course It will not be careless in buying players, Liverpool's movement in the transfer market is indeed not very highlighted by the media but I think they currently definitely have several names that they will recruit, Arne Slot seems to be very selective in choosing players to recruit to really suit the needs of their team next season, there is still a lot of time left in the transfer market allows for Arne Slot to be able to monitor more good and talented players which will indeed be in accordance with his game scheme next season.

I guess now Slot can think that with the team that he doesn't need any changes or a new player, it's that it's difficult because finding a team where most of them are very good, it's hard to make changes, because first you have to work with what you have, and the current players are very good and that's what should be considered, I don't know where Liverpool's weaknesses could be, their attack is good, so they don't need a striker, their midfield and defense too, I think that after playing some friendly matches the coach has to realize what the vulnerabilities are.

I don't know why Chelsea management sacked coach Pochettino. We have seen a series of good performances from Chelsea in the last matches of the season. And from this it can be assumed that coach Pochettino was able to stabilize this team. Pochettino was then sacked by the Chelsea management.
I was one of those that openly criticised Pochettino because I felt he wasn't doing a great job. His team should have been playing better than they were playing. Even when they did well in some games, they were inconsistent most times. Firing Pochettino was not such a bad decision. He might have built a good team with time, but I doubt he'll be able to win the league.
The decision Chelsea made in hiring their next manager is something that only time will tell, but I don't think he's good enough to give them the result that they desire. Enzo Maresca seems like a good coach, but I doubt he's going to be a coach to start delivering results immediately and if he's not going to deliver immediately, there was no point in firing Pochettino that was already getting rhythm with his team.
 
Pochettino has struggled with injuries to key Chelsea players for much of the season, But his people management and tactical skills were proven through the team's strong end-of-season finish. And a late revival cannot save Pochettino's hot seat. Despite finishing in sixth place.

The main reason I repeat belongs entirely to Chelsea's leadership. The policy of signing younger players led to complications in adapting the team to different tactics and styles of play. Recruiting inexperienced players who are not suitable for their roles in the team. If the management board had given Pochettino the responsibility of recruiting players, things would have been different. Pochettino will understand better than anyone else what players the team needs and what players are in surplus. The balance of players in each position on the team is important. I see that the Chelsea Board of Directors also has the same thoughts as the PSG Board of Directors. They keep spending money to bring in a series of good players, but they don't know what role this player plays in the team.

I don't know why Chelsea management sacked coach Pochettino. We have seen a series of good performances from Chelsea in the last matches of the season. And from this it can be assumed that coach Pochettino was able to stabilize this team. Pochettino was then sacked by the Chelsea management.

However, Chelsea management has appointed a new coach. And spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. But I would say the Chelsea management should give the coach enough time and opportunities. The Chelsea management is living in a fool's paradise if they expect good performances from Chelsea so quickly. The situation of the Chelsea team is very shaky. This group definitely needs time to improve.
Perhaps the most realistic reason is that Pochettino was unable to make Chelsea perform better than Management expected, he also failed to bring Chelsea to finish in the top four or the European Zone. In my opinion, Chelsea management should not rush into making a decision, they should give Pochettino at least one more season to prove his abilities.
Now that Chelsea will start a new season with a new coach and several new players brought in, management's hopes remain the same as when they appointed Pochettino as coach. It is very likely that Enzo Maresca will suffer the same fate as Pochettino if he is unable to bring Chelsea to compete in the top four, management will immediately fire him and replace him with a new coach.

I agree with you that Chelsea management should not rush. Because Chelsea's situation was very unstable. So Chelsea's performance at the start of the season was very erratic. And that's normal. A team has to stabilize gradually. It's not possible too fast. Although Chelsea's performances were erratic at the start of the previous season, Pochettino was able to gradually stabilize the team. And he could have made the team even stronger this season if he got enough benefits this season.

However, the Chelsea management should not be expecting too much from the new coach this season. Adequate time and opportunities must be given to the new coach. If not, it is not possible to bring the continuity of this team's performance.
You and I know that Chelsea is not a club that's patient with their managers. To be honest I thought that brutality ended with Abrahimovic era, but it appears that's not the case. Judging by how they have been firing managers since the new owners took over. Every coach who is going to Chelsea already understand this fact and they know that they have to buckle up. Even if the results are not that very satisfactory at least they should make the europa league spot. But a situation whereby at the end of the season they don't achieve that the manager risks sacking. But if the fact is to be followed, one season is not enough for a coach to transform the fortune of the club, given the fact that they are still rebuilding the squad to be competitive at all front. But I have this great feeling that Enzo Maresca will do better than Porchettino at Chelsea.
