The owner(s) of Chelsea did what they did out of desperation which got them in the mess they are now, they can't run a football club alone without listening to some of the experience workers they have before taking ownership of the club and what they say must stand, it doesn't work that way.
Getting new players in the transfer window doesn't mean you get inexperience players to make the team stronger and I believe Chelsea have some players who haven't played at least 5 games this season, why because they're all injury prone players, so this club have a long way to go before they could come back to that winning ways.

What's done has been done. It is what it is right now. It's time to forge ahead anf look at the blunders done right now. It's just that most Chelsea fans really miss the times with Roman Abrahimovich.

The new players are not as bad as we think, at least you have good sheep's, right now they're to be focused on bringing a good shepherd to lead and direct these lambs.
How many times do I need sing it that Mauricio Pochetino is not a sound manshrifor a top club like Chelsea.

What's needed for the blues is currently a new striker to convert goals for them and also a new defender. Injuries has affected these players too.

Bro I think even some of the workers who are still at Chelsea miss Abrahimovich because he really knows how to handle this kind of situation and to start with, he can put Chelsea in this kind of hole.
I feel for the fans because in a month they can't get that joy on their faces like they used to back then. If it was Abrahimovich and let's say Pochettino is the one messing up the team, by now we would have been welcoming another coach immediately after they played out the 2-2 draw against a one man down Burnley, that's how serious the man Abrahimovich is.
I agree with you that some of the players are good, but the main problem is that these guys play like is the first time they're seeing each other like they don't train together. They don't have a playing pattern and the coach Pochettino is just a coach that can't operate under pressure (as we all know Chelsea is a big club with too much expectations), let's know that about him. He has good ideas but he's scared of making mistakes but he still end up making mistakes.
Even if Chelsea get a better striker with an outstanding performance good scoring record I believe that when playing for Chelsea there won't be any change and Chelsea can make the attacker look like a novice and you ask if this is the good striker you know or what. The problem is the team, something is wrong somewhere.

Among the team's Arsenal, Manchester City, it is Liverpool that has the champions mark for the premiership title this season despite the struggles between these three. If you take a look at the remaining games of Liverpool their opponents are not that much of a big sides in comparison to Manchester city and Arsenal's opponents. Only that this is football we can give many theoretical analysis about the advantages that differentiate a big team and gives the why they have to win against a small team but when the ball bounce the practical results has many times been the opposite, a situation where we see small teams beating big clubs.
This is the excitement and interest of the English league, the champion is determined until the last match, very different from other leagues where the champion is almost certain before the last match. I agree with you between Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool in the race for the EPL title. Klopp's team has the greatest chance of winning the title this season. Because Liverpool's remaining schedule is very profitable, they only focus on the EPL and UEFA leagues. Meanwhile, Man City still has the Champions League as well as the FA and EPL leagues. Arsenal still have the Champions League and in the remaining matches they also have quite tough matches because there are two London derbies. Indeed, in football anything can happen, but if you look at the remaining matches and the existing competition schedule, Liverpool does have the opportunity to become champions of the EPL League this season as Klopp farewells Liverpool.

Chelsea fans was hanging their hopes on the shoulder of Nkunku that he would change the style of play and all that but things went crazy when the player returned from injury but we never saw him (Nkunku) perform like he used to at Leipzig. The Blues got luck and Cole Palmer came in and you'd agree with me that this guy has been the face of this team, though he's young but he is the main man for Chelsea, without him things would have been going bad for the Chelsea side and I believe they would've been struggling to go above the relegation zone.
So all I'm saying is that without Palmer Chelsea can't play out their best, Pochettino need to make the team to be more better without the young lad because when injury or suspension comes knocking I only see the Blues losing more than they can win or draw.
What I hope from Chelsea is to change the way they recruit players. I hope there are some senior players in their club. Because building too many young players also requires senior players in the field who can serve as inspiration for young players in the field. Like what Real Madrid does, they always leave senior players at their club who are tasked with making young players learn a lot from these senior players. And after the young players mature, then senior players can start to be released. The big changes in the Todd Boehly era are completely beyond me. And now the results don't seem to have improved at all.

The owner(s) of Chelsea did what they did out of desperation which got them in the mess they are now, they can't run a football club alone without listening to some of the experience workers they have before taking ownership of the club and what they say must stand, it doesn't work that way.

What I don't understand is why invest so much and still yet no results to count for it? I mean it's really annoying because I know about Manchester city transition when they came out with a new owner, I mean the fellow invested a lot of money in that club and now it's paying off and in the case of Manchester city I think it all clicked right away from the onset, I don't know maybe because of the coaches that were lead to manage the club.

The thing is the owner of Chelsea never allow those who knows the in and out to do things the way they know how to do it. Imagine having Petr Čech as one of those who are running the business and you let such a guy to go? Like who's going to scout good players? They haven't stayed up to 2 months and they fired the man who brought the UCL to the bridge, talking about Thomas Tuchel, that's a very disrespectful move.
Only if these guys and some other people who make sure things move smoothly for the club (Chelsea) are still around I believe the advise base on experience would have gotten into the head of Todd Boehly and the club won't have spent without gain. If you talk about Man City I believe they have those who have experience to still be with the team and they spent wisely, now we're seeing the results.

Unless Liverpool have other plans, Liverpool has a chance to win the league title by leading Arsenal by two points, which they can maintain until the end of the season. Liverpool didn't have any important games left in the Premier League, in my opinion, so they should take their remaining games seriously. If they don't, Manchester City and Arsenal will pass them and win the championship, which will be a huge disappointment for both the team and its supporters. The coach will also be disappointed, as this is his last season and he will want to leave the team happy having won trophies.

Regarding the Manchester City vs. Arsenal match, to be honest, that match is really difficult. I know some people will find it boring because neither team scored goals, but I find the match to be extremely tough because both teams are strong and can defeat each other while battling for a point. It is difficult for any team to gain a point, and this particular match pits the two strongest teams in the Premier League against each other. Manchester City played more than Arsenal in the match, but Arsenal fought back to force a draw.
Yes you can call the match boring because neither of them were able to find the back of the net to be able to make a statement and then you begin to wonder if any of them is fit to win the league. Yes we know we expected a draw but not a draw like this, this kind of draw is so poor of a result and it was below expectation.

 ⁠This match result goes on to show how fierce Liverpool were to press Man City and be able to make them suffer in their match as compared to how Arsenal were being bullied at the Etihad. Well Arsenal had the better of the fixture even though they werw played but they were able to get a point at this ground and we know how much important this point is to Arsenal as it keeps them very much in the title race.

 ⁠Yes we’re 9 games away amd Liverpool are now back to the top of the table and they’ve got less big matches except probably the match against United this weekend and I think that match is one that Liverpool needs to win in order to make a statement or to be putting one hands on the league. Yes we know how fierce that match is for Liverpool especially as they haven’t been able to defeat Man United this season and now this is a big step to them winning the league for Klopp who’s about to leave the club at the end of the season and they’re playing so hard to be able to win the league for Klopp this season.
 
Arsenal really made a statement at the Etihad and now you can start seeing them as one very serious challengers and I guess this goes to Pep and Cith as they don’t have to entertain any draw if they really want to surpass Arsenal and Liverpool. The EPL keeps getting interesting in these last days and we’re loving the show already.

Newcastle played quite well in the first half and they dominated the game, but of the many opportunities they had, they could only score 1 goal for the time being. There are at least 2 good opportunities that could have been goals, It's just that Jordan Pickford played quite impressively tonight. Everton also didn't play badly. Even though they faced more pressure, but they still had counter attacks which were quite troublesome for Newcastle's defense. However, if in the second half Everton had continued to play defensive football, I think Newcastle would have got their second goal.
The second from Burn was cancelled after a VAR review showed it was offside. Everton coach made changes immediately, Everton got an opportunity from a penalty kick, and Calvert-Lewin hit the ball with so much power that even though the goalkeeper touched the ball, he could not stop it from going in. The two teams played very well and had some good chances, but they both defended well and got one point each. This Newcastle of this season are still struggling to win games, they were better last season.

But it looks like Fullham is in big trouble at the moment because they are 2 goals behind Nottingham Forest. Because Nottingham Forest scored 1 goal in the 9th minute and 1 goal again in the 19th minute. I think Fullham will lose this match. because equalizing the score when we were 2 goals behind would be very difficult. Fullham may have had more of the ball but they had a weak defence. And that's a big deal.

Is really quite unfortunate that most of the clubs that has gone far on the table has stood so low that they will allow the clubs they are better than in terms of performance to win them because in the case of Fulham and Nottingham Forest we no that Fulham has obtain more good position than Nottingham Forest but I was surprised to see how inconsistent they have become, however I don't no if I will call it a home advantage for Nottingham Forest but they actually utilize all there opportunity well, also with there level of play, Fulham will never forget the losing easily because before the match they believe that they Will actually win the match because of there difference in position.

Although it would have been better for Fulham if they had win Nottingham Forest because they would have actually move from there 13 position to the 11 position but there lack of good performance has made them lose the opportunity, so right now Nottingham Forest has managed to bring themselves out ofthe relegation zone, although they are still close to the relegation zone but i doubt if they will end up in relegation this season.


One thing you should know is that Nottingham Forest needed this win the most to move a little bit off the relegation zone because Fulham seems to be comfortable in a convenient position whereas Nottingham Forest is battling within the relegation area that is why they took it personal to win Fulham and claim a home advantage but however, I applaud the display of Fulham, they played so well just that i don't know how their defense was so porous to the extent of conceding three goals at a blow in the first half, it weakened Fulham's morale because they know what it means to be three goals down hence they were able to score just one goal in the second half and that was all but in all, Fulham played more better and they possessed the ball more than Nottingham Forest.

The game has ended, and Nottingham Forest was able to maintain the 3-1 lead till the end of the game. I know that Fulham will find it difficult to equalise the goals because of how strong defensive Nottingham Forest always plays with counterattacks. In today's match, I did not expect that Nottingham Forest would win Fulham because Fulham form was better than Nottingham, and as I judged them based on their meetings, especially their last meeting, I saw that Fulham have a very good record over Nottingham Forest because in their first leg, Fulham was able to beat them 5-0, so I was expecting even the worst for Fulham today; they should be able to secure a draw. With the result I saw, I was a little bit disappointed with Fulham.

West Ham's match against Tottenham was very tough and ended in a draw with a score of 1-1 and the goals were scored by Brennan Johnson in the 5th minute and Kurt Zouma in the 19th minute. And even though Tottenham played at home to West Ham, they dominated the match overall.
And currently Tottenham is in 5th place with 58 points, which in my opinion is impossible for Manchester United to catch up with those who are in 6th place with a difference of 48 points. And Tottenham still has the chance to be in 4th place in the standings, only 2 points away from Aston Villa to win a UCL ticket.
The game gave a beautiful win this night and you won't even believe the option I play and the insane amount of odd given too. I played the game an under 3.5 goals and the bookmakers set the odd at around 2.10 odd which was as a surprise although I know that the two teams are goal scoring teams but the difference here is that they are all in a tight corner and wouldn't want to concede more so that was the reason I played the game with 10$ flat and it gave a sweet extra 10$ profit.

I looked at Tottenham's points table of 58.

Make no mistake that Manchester United still have one game left to play so let's assume these two teams will be 6 points apart if Manchester United win.

But we know how Manchester United are not consistent throughout this match they can win a few times then lose again a few times then this will certainly be difficult to reach the top of the champions league ticket for them unless with the remaining matches now have to win continuously but it is impossible that Manchester United can do it.

Most times, new management do have effect on team’s performance be it positive or negative; the Manchester City new management came with positive impact and add more value to the team towards buying quality players that will be beneficial to the team. When Pep came to the club, their style of play and the team’s profile rise above expectations to the extent that they are now the best team in the world.

On Chelsea’s issue, the new management tried to make decisions by themselves without consulting the coach the employed, and they sack coaches that might reshape the team to a standard team: but the owners try using money to get expensive players from different teams just to make their team better, but unfortunately, it is becoming worse since they are yet to deliver the result of a team that have so many money spent on.

I think changing another coach will be better for Chelsea because Pochettihnho has failed.
To be frank this is what is actually expected to a team who spent much on signing players and staff while Todd was busy going for lower club staffs, Man city went for a manager among the top including staffs.

Though Chelsea has spent alot of money on players with talents while some have failed to do well, I don't really blame Todd for sacking Tuchel for he did make some bad decisions of selling Tomori and then signing a koulibaly for £33 million who was having just a year left in his contract with Napoli and to me that was a bad bargain, also I never why he opt for Lukaku and then they started having issues in end.

While the biggest issue is Todd who took the acting role of sporting director did the worst with his bad bargain in these players and if only he spent such amounts on getting a better staff and coach it would be better.

Chelsea current form is a living proof of how quality back room staff and coaches are important and Poch has already failed and to be frank i currently don't know the right coach for Chelsea now but Poch should be sack there are better options I will think of later

Manchester city have drawn their two consecutive matches which does not tell too good about them. So they would use this opportunity to have all three points by winning Aston Villa, no matter the scenario that would play out on the match day.

Those two draws were to Liverpool (away game) and Arsenal (at home). As much as the latter draw was a bit disappointing, I wouldn't take those draws as a sign of failure or dip in form. We all know that those three teams are on similar level, so those results are not surprising.
All three will have some challenging games to play and it's almost certain that all three will lose some points before the end of the season, but yeah, City needs to defeat teams like Villa (especially at home) if they want to defend their title. Odds for the City to win are estimated at 77%, so they're a strong favourite here.
It is now very obvious that the title race is now between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Any of these three clubs can be champions and it will not be surprising to us. In the league table, they are close to one another such that the difference in points can just change with only one match. In this midweek, Liverpool and Arsenal are somewhat lucky because they are playing the weaker teams at the bottom of the table. In the other hand, Manchester city is not that lucky because they are meeting their immediate rivals. This match is so important for Manchester City but we all know that Emry Can and his boys cannot be easily underrated.
Among the team's Arsenal, Manchester City, it is Liverpool that has the champions mark for the premiership title this season despite the struggles between these three. If you take a look at the remaining games of Liverpool their opponents are not that much of a big sides in comparison to Manchester city and Arsenal's opponents. Only that this is football we can give many theoretical analysis about the advantages that differentiate a big team and gives the why they have to win against a small team but when the ball bounce the practical results has many times been the opposite, a situation where we see small teams beating big clubs.
Even right from the beginning of this season, I have always predicted Liverpool to win the English Premier League over Arsenal. This is when we have already set Manchester City aside. Arsenal has been good since two seasons now but their problem is the level of inconsistency that appears towards the end of the season. It looks like they give all their strength during the beginning and the middle of the season but towards the ending when the effort is even needed more, they will slack and give away their glory to Manchester City. This has happened more than once and it has made many people lose confidence in Arsenal. Talking about Liverpool in the other hand, they always give their best when they are needed to do so. Liverpool is not easily been defeated by a random average team and that is why I am confident that they will become the champions of this season in English Premier League. Apart from that, the boys are supposed to get this trophy in order to give their coach Jurgen Klopp a very good farewell.

So far that's true, but you never know what will happen in the next 8 games. Remember that there are still some tough matches ahead for the top three teams at the moment and that is a challenge that must be overcome if they want to win the title. The standings will probably not change for the top three teams in the next match, I mean that because the top three teams are currently the favorite teams in their respective matches.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all playing at home in their next matches. Arsenal played Luton Town, Liverpool played Sheffield United, while Manchester City was a little tough because they played Aston Villa. I don't think the home team will drop any points, so their chances of winning should be pretty good to hope for.

What I hope from Chelsea is to change the way they recruit players. I hope there are some senior players in their club. Because building too many young players also requires senior players in the field who can serve as inspiration for young players in the field. Like what Real Madrid does, they always leave senior players at their club who are tasked with making young players learn a lot from these senior players. And after the young players mature, then senior players can start to be released. The big changes in the Todd Boehly era are completely beyond me. And now the results don't seem to have improved at all.

The owner(s) of Chelsea did what they did out of desperation which got them in the mess they are now, they can't run a football club alone without listening to some of the experience workers they have before taking ownership of the club and what they say must stand, it doesn't work that way.
Getting new players in the transfer window doesn't mean you get inexperience players to make the team stronger and I believe Chelsea have some players who haven't played at least 5 games this season, why because they're all injury prone players, so this club have a long way to go before they could come back to that winning ways.

Manchester city have drawn their two consecutive matches which does not tell too good about them. So they would use this opportunity to have all three points by winning Aston Villa, no matter the scenario that would play out on the match day.

Those two draws were to Liverpool (away game) and Arsenal (at home). As much as the latter draw was a bit disappointing, I wouldn't take those draws as a sign of failure or dip in form. We all know that those three teams are on similar level, so those results are not surprising.
All three will have some challenging games to play and it's almost certain that all three will lose some points before the end of the season, but yeah, City needs to defeat teams like Villa (especially at home) if they want to defend their title. Odds for the City to win are estimated at 77%, so they're a strong favourite here.
It is now very obvious that the title race is now between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Any of these three clubs can be champions and it will not be surprising to us. In the league table, they are close to one another such that the difference in points can just change with only one match. In this midweek, Liverpool and Arsenal are somewhat lucky because they are playing the weaker teams at the bottom of the table. In the other hand, Manchester city is not that lucky because they are meeting their immediate rivals. This match is so important for Manchester City but we all know that Emry Can and his boys cannot be easily underrated.
