Kick off day with an interesting Chelsea Manchester City today.
How many bus Chelsea used to bring players for the game?

Joke asides, should be an easy win for Guardiola once again and they will reach Arsenal on the top.

This year it should be a race between them, I can't see anyone else able to keep their pace.

The match between Chelsea vs Manchester City has entered the 90+1th minute now, both teams are currently playing quite impressively and are endangering each other opponents goal, but it is clear that Manchester City is very dominant and continues to aim for additional goals to ensure their victory today, currently the score it's still 2-0 for Manchester City win and I think this score will probably last until the end of the match considering that Chelsea seems to be having a very difficult time scoring goals against Manchester City, Chelsea actually have a lot of chances in today match but instead they attacker looked very messy when in front of Manchester City goal.

Chelsea has many brought their main squad today, and they even brought a lot of strikers today to face Manchester City, but their weakness lies in their very poor defense and the two goals that were scored did not show any hard work from the Chelsea defenders for prevent that the goal happen.

Not only are the fans disappointed but Todd Boehly immediately left the stadium after spending a lot of money and actually saw their team playing very badly at the match. Cheesy

Toed Boehly remains a loser in his choice of players brought to the stamford bridge, Jackson remains the most useless signing Chelsea ever did and a very fuckedup Stricker for that matter, he was literally underperforming and confused until he was removed. I am not surprised at the weakness of the Chelsea defense, I personally see no experience defender there to hold the city force with Cucurella running around like an untamed dog. Playing Enzo Fernandez forward instead of his defensive midfield position contributed to the problem and I wonder what he was trying to achieve.

The day Chelsea sells off that he goat Jackson and gets a better striker, then they had solved one of their most prominent problems. Chelsea's need for a holding striker like Osimhen can never be overemphasized especially with Jackson's increased unproductivity upfront, the forwards did a very good job creating and missing lots of chances.

(FT) Chelsea 0 vs 2 Man city

The final result of Man City is still with the same story that its quality is still promising. Talking about Chelsea, it's a little bit not bad but certainly not a good performance either. Because of the many players played by Enzo Maresca, only Cole Palmer is able to provide sharp thrusts into Man City defense line. But what can you do, Palmer is not enough if he doesn't have a suitable partner. Honestly, for several changes that Chelsea made, especially new players, it had no impact at all. Enzo performed below standard, he lost the trust of his fellow teammates on the field. It can be said that Chelsea is too full of flop players, is this the right answer behind Chelsea reckless purchases? It's not easy for Enzo Maresca to find the right format. Chelsea is not strong enough to beat Manchester City.

Liverpool has had a great start to the Premier League season, and they managed a 2-0 win over the opposition in today's match. Liverpool had a fantastic start today against Ipswich, and they gave the crowd a lot of fun at the start of the season.

I never expected Liverpool to start the season with such a good performance. Since there is a change in their coach, I was expecting their performance to drop a little bit at the beginning of the season. If they are going to be back in form, then it’s going to take some time, but from the way they played today and the matches they played during the pre season, it’s just obvious that having a change in coach doesn’t have any impact on them, which is a good one for them. Let’s see how their performance will go in the coming matches.

I haven't been able to conclude that they played well, even though in this match they played well. Because we also need to see who is their opponent. Their opponents in this match are promotional clubs, they actually haven't. Tested while in the English League, precisely this season they must prove that they really deserve to be in the English League.

I haven't seen them meet with a stronger club or at least their strength is not different enough and has often faced each other. Not intended to say what they achieved in this match is not good, it remains good but the point is my quality in the inj season with a new coach. Keep in mind also the level of consistency they cannot be Luhat from only one match, but Kuta must see more matches.

Chelsea again? I thought there will be changed in the new season but it seems that things are still remain the same. This were the reasons why people were saying that they should signed some players so that they can do well in this season. Manchester City is playing well more than from the beginning. E. Haaland was assisted by B. Silva to scored the goal. This is their first leg and they would have done well to bypass this first stage.

And the Match is about to end and yet they are not doing well in the second half.

What? Chelsea should recruit some more players? In fact, Chelsea has bought or has many players in its squad, but you still don't seem satisfied. Because at this moment Chelsea's problem is about having a lot of players but not succeeding in having good performance,and Chelsea also always fires coaches and this also makes it difficult for Chelsea to develop well. Because every time Chelsea has a new coach, then ofcourse they will start building the team from scratch again.

So yes, in this case the problem is that Boehly is not confident in the coach he has, so Chelsea always fire their coaches. With problems like that,Chelsea should be more patient with a process that is not fast, because if they fire their coach again later, then Chelsea will remain the same and will never succeed in recovering.

The bigger clubs that competed in this first match, they all managed to win from their opponents. This was a satisfying first match though.

This is quite an interesting match between Newcastle vs Southampton. Fabian Schar got a red card in the 28th minute. So Newcastle played with only 10 players, their ball possession dropped drastically, their defense was very threatened, but they were able to take advantage of the only opportunity to score a goal and were able to defend the goal from many opponent attacks. Cool, for Newcastle.

Unforgettable moment

Fabian Schar messed up. I asked myself always if that act was really necessary. Honestly, in my opinion he shouldn't have done that. Up in my head, I don't feel like it was meant to be red carded but the match officials has also done their own part of every. It was great of them to see that they went ahead to win that game after the goal for joelintino.

Well, I don't think I have seen enough of how good Arne Slot has been for Liverpool but I will pay close attention next week most definitely
They're also amongst clubs that played well during the first fixture of a new season.

Could the end score for this game between Chelsea and Manchester City be 1-1?

Many people say that this is not a real match for Liverpool, because their opponents were not tough, only newly promoted teams that still adapt on premier league. the real match will be come when they meet MU on next 2 week. But at least, even if their opponent is not strong, Slot was proved if he can adapt well with the atmosphere premier league. all issues he denied well after made the big winning, 2-0. I think with this winning, Liverpool was made good initial capital to the next step. The big team on premier league will watch them carefully.

Yes, Arne Slot has indeed proven that he can help Liverpool win their first match in the Premier League. However, many people will not be satisfied because it is not a very tough match for them. The win was important for Liverpool at the start of the season, but of course it will not be a benchmark that Arne Slot is a really good coach to replace Klopp. There are many tough matches that will await Liverpool in the coming weeks, so we'll just have to wait and see how the slot process at Liverpool goes this season.

Meanwhile Chelsea vs Manchester City is taking place with high game tension. Chelsea excelled in dominating ball possession, but Manchester City played more effectively and they were 0-1 ahead of Chelsea. I'm looking forward to the second half which will be no less good, there will be a lot of action that I hope for, some goals will probably be scored between the two teams playing.

Have you noticed the new animations on the scoreboard this season?

https://x.com/OptusSport/status/1824974745340940776

They look really lovely.

Every team has its unique animation which is nice to see. Maybe it would be the start of seeing similar things in other European leagues as well.

It is matchday for Chelsea v Manchester City... There is less than an hour left. What do you think on it? It is like 3.70 for Chelsea win and 2.00 for Manchester City win. I think Manchester City will start with a win. I don't expect many goals. 1-0 or maybe 2-1 the most.

Pep Guardiola has said there’s no motivation to win this another EPL title. I think there is no atom of honesty in what he said. I have seen guys like Messi and Ronaldo etc with insatiable thirst for success. Even, Ancelotti isn't letting up for youngies to catch up; what exemplifies the very elite is their non satisfaction with whatever level of successes.

Anyone who's known Pep Guardiola and his antics over the years will agree to the fact that he's very good at playing mind games so I wasn't surprised to see him say that there's no motivation to win the English Premier League at the moment during his pre-match conference with the press. I think he just said that so Chelsea manager and player will expect less from them while they prepare to be at their best when they face Chelsea in less than one hour time. Just like the people you mentioned, Pep Guardiola is also one manager who's never satisfied of winning trophies and matches so I would never believe such statement that came from him.

I do not believe in the words of Pep Guardiola who says he has no motivation to win the title at the end of the season. His words are contrary to the aim of the team and coach in general. Each team spent large amounts of money just to get achievements at the end of the season. The large amount of money is used to bring in players even to bring in coaches. So, when Manchester City management brought in it also targeted a trophy. Is it possible that Pep was recruited not for that?
For me, it was only a strategy or it was an arrogant message that he had won everything with Manchester City.

Liverpool’s performance is also not bad, it is Arne Slot’s first Premier League match, it shouldn’t go smooth because of his in experience in the Premier League, but we also don’t expect them to lose to such teams easily because the team is still ranked among the top four teams to finish in the Champions League spots this season.

I didn’t expect such performance from them in the first game but i guess Ipswich town are not more of a challenge since they are not used to the premier league atmosphere yet, it was supposed to be an easy win though. I just like the way they played, their chances creating strategy was not bad and they were more on the attack. There will be challenges but I think they should be able to make top 4.

Quote from: Hyphen(-) on August 17, 2024, 04:24:36 PM

As other teams are getting three points, Chelsea and Manchester City are to play against each others tomorrow, it simply means that one of them will either lose or they draw the match, therefore, one of them or the two of them have to be behind these remaining top teams.

It’s really unfortunate that they will be facing each other this early because getting 3 points at the beginning of the season is important to help lift the spirits of the players to perform better in upcoming matches. Every other big team have managed to win. It’s difficult to predict a winner today but even though Manchester City looks more likely to win than Chelsea judging from their pre season performances.

It’s even funnier when the person in question here is Guardiola, a brutal competitor and a serial winner..
Man will win a 5th, 6th and 7th consecutive titles if he has the chance, I’ll rather take the words of a drunk seriously that whatever Pep has to say on not being motivated to win, i know the man.

This must be a little relief for Arne Slot. I mean everyone was curious how good he would be able to start. Because people were critizing Liverpool transfer policy. More precisely, no transfer at all. Tongue

But still we saw a good start by Liverpool. Ipswich are one of the new members of the PL this season. I was expecting them to be more ambitious but we didn't see anything particular. Maybe they get used to the league in time.

Jota and Salah scored the goals that finished Ipswich in 5 minutes and did not allow any surprises. Arne Slot made a happy start to the league by starting with a victory. Every point is important for the championship and the points lost here may upset Liverpool at the end of the year. Liverpool says hello to the league with a definite 2-0 victory.

A good result for Liverpool in their opening match but this is not an exaggeration because Ipswich is not an equal opponent for Liverpool, if you look at the strength of both teams it is natural that Liverpool won easily in their first match.

Since the beginning Arne Slot has been too confident because he did not make any changes maybe he thinks that the squad in the Liverpool team is currently the best and suits his coaching style so we just have to wait to see how far Arne Slot can maintain or make Liverpool's performance consistent, this will be the focus of many people because the Liverpool team should be able to compete at the top to win the title this season.

It was actually a good start from Arne slot thou Ipswich made Liverpool team to work hard for the three points which I least expect. Liverpool played poorly in the first half but the second half performance was a bit impressive but there's still more work to be done especially in the finishing and counter attacks in order to beat stronger teams than Ipswich who are just coming into the league.

Ipswich performance was quite impressive considering they just came into the league and face one of the best team in the league as their opening game. In fact, they looked much more energetic and clinical than Liverpool but were not luck enough to lock horn with the reds.

Arne Slot succeeded in bringing Liverpool to get their first 3 points this season and of course this was a very good start for Liverpool, but even so, Arne Slot journey to bring Liverpool to the championship path is still too long and one win is not enough for us to confirm whether Liverpool this time in good hands, the victory over Ipswich Town doesn't prove anything for Arne Slot because after all they only faced a team that had just been promoted and didn't face a strong team that will be a contender for the title this season, but even so, at least it was a this win could be a good start and also motivation for them to be able to perform even better in the next match against Brentford and Manchester United in the third week of the English League this season.

I hope Chelsea can give a surprise in the next match to win the match against Man City, although it is impossible but in this important match Chelsea will work in class and prove itself capable of competing with other big clubs that have previously won their matches well such as Liverpool, Man United, Aston Villa, Brighton, Arsenal, who got good results in their first match in the Premier League this season.

No, I don't think there will be any surprises and I don't expect it to happen because I bet on Man City to win so that my multi bet doesn't lose. Grin

Source : EPL points table

Now let's look at this points table from most of the clubs that were favored in yesterday's match all managed to get 3 points, while Man City is the favorite to hold the EPL title again this season which is unlikely to start the season with a bad performance.
Logically it doesn't make sense if Chelsea is able to beat Man City or hold a draw because I still believe Pep Guardiola has mastered a new strategy and knows the weaknesses of every club in the EPL that are easy to beat.
Hope my multi bet wins this time, Arsenal and Liverpool managed to give me a win on my multi bet and now waiting for the Man City match to give me a win. Cool

Anyone that says that that this game isn't a real football matches is just one of the Liverpool haters that didn't expect Liverpool to win easily and convincingly, we all know that their is no easy game in the English premier league, and as such, every football matches should be taken with alt most seriousness, so why would any that is not a hater would come and be saying that because it's a newly promoted side, it's not a real contest? Well till his or her beloved team plays Ipswich at away from home, they shouldn't rule Ipswich out completely because their is no easy game in the English premier league.

Lastly, even someone that isn't that much into football will definitely know that the upcoming games between Liverpool vs Manchester united is going to be way challenging to this Liverpool side than their game against Ipswich, because Manchester united is also a big side, so it would be like the battle of the Titans, but it's actually going to be a fascinating encounter between these to teams two weeks from now.
