Chelsea will face Fulham this week, which should enable Chelsea to show their best game, because winning twice in a row should make them more confident in getting full points against Fulham. It's not easy to win against Fulham, let alone get full points because Fulham always plays full. surprise and even though they had suffered three consecutive defeats before, they were starting to feel a little confident after winning the previous week against Arsenal.

Pochettino is still in the process of bringing Chelsea back to how it used to be, it just takes time to process it, that's what Pochettino said, after failing to get rid of Middlesbrough in the league cup yesterday, the point is that winning against Fulham is something that must be achieved in order to improve their position to better and improving, displacing Newcastle, which is still performing poorly recently.

Of course, Chelsea should be able to take advantage of this match to continue its winning trend. They have made it 2 wins in a row against Crystal Palace and Luton Town, but Fulham seems much stronger. The match against Fulham is a difficult match for Chelsea in my opinion, but considering that Chelsea is playing at home, they are the team with a better probability of winning.

Fulham are in better condition after they won two wins in their last two matches. Fulham beat Arsenal in the Premier League, while Fulham also won against Rotherham in the FA Cup. Chelsea certainly deserves to be expected to win, but Fulham cannot be underestimated.

So far Chelsea have won 3 of their last 5 matches in the Premier League and have collected 28 points in 20 matches. There are 18 more games that Pochettino can take advantage of this season and fight for a place in Europe, but I'm skeptical about that.

Chelsea cannot win Fulham in this game,and if you don't want your game to be cut,don't bet for Chelsea to win it,rather,you give Fulham a win or draw,but for me,I don't like putting Chelsea in my games again,they love losing and dissappointing people.I wonder how their premier league stand will be when they continue losing to smaller teams they were not supposed to lose to.
They didn't qualify for any European tournament last season,and this season has come again,they brought in new coach,new players and yet,they are still thesame,let's pray they don't get religated,because I don't understand this Chelsea team.

Chelsea are really difficult to understand. How could you manage to be this ineffective at scoring goals while dominating a game? They even lost the game I mean. Sad

They should be thankful that the matchup is comprised of two legs. Otherwise they were already going to say goodbye to the EFL Cup which is probably the only tournament in which they can win the title.

But after watching this performance I don't think they would be able to beat probably Liverpool in the finale. Liverpool will be likely to have Salah back in the squad until the finale of the EFL Cup so Liverpool would be the winner of the cup I think.

Im confused about Chelsea's predicament too. They dominate the game without scoring, like a car in neutral - revving but not moving. Fans are frustrated with Pochettino's ineffective tactics. Their roster is good, especially against Middlesbrough, therefore they should score comfortably. But here we are, confused.

Fortunately, they still have a chance in the EFL Cup. A major turnaround is needed to advance, especially with Liverpool expected to get Salah back for the final. Chelsea isnt doing well. They must improve or watch the finals from their couches.

I think there is some truth to it and Chelsea often looks like that. They can only focus on rotating on the axis and not try to do anything more aggressive against their opponent. Maybe this is because Pochettino's strategy emphasizes that or because the players are not well coordinated. I think they have reasons for doing that, but fortunately Chelsea is no worse than Middlesbourgh.

The Blues still have hope for the future and maybe this time they will not repeat the same mistakes and must be diligent in doing their work to the maximum. Pochettino also has to change the existing structure if his strategy doesn't work well in the next match.

Chelsea players dominated this match. But they can't win. Despite many attacks, Chelsea players could not score a single goal. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession. We saw Chelsea players dominate the whole match. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, were completely defensive after conceding a goal in the first half. Chelsea completely failed to break down Middlesbrough's defence. It cannot be said for sure whether Chelsea will win the home match of the second leg. Chelsea's performance is very erratic right now.

It seems like there is a deliberate effort being carried out by certain parties to keep Chelsea in a downturn. I don't agree with people who say Chelsea is a bad team, for me Chelsea is a good team who is in a bad situation.

Review of Chelsea's match, which failed to beat Middlesbrough despite having good statistics throughout the match. I didn't watch the match, but in the replay I saw, Chelsea's game couldn't match the front line players with the other lines.
In the 2nd leg EFL which will take place on 24 January, Chelsea can finish Middlesbrough with a higher aggregate of goals at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea is one team one cannot rely on,they were really poor in last night's game,although they played all they could to make sure they were able to get a point,but Middleborough were too solid defensively for Chelsea to break their defence.It is really embarrassing that Chelsea would lose to a team that's not in the Premier league,and with all the players who they spent so much money on to sign in the transfer window.I wonder how their fans will feel when they see a team that's not even on thesame level with Chelsea win them,and defend the goal till the last minute of the game.Pochetino really need to work on that team again,and change their strategy, else,the premier league will be too hot for them to survive in.

Chelsea are clearly not as strong as they have been in previous seasons at this point, so I don't think that's all that surprising. This team is populated by many new players and so far several coaches who have worked with them have still failed to make Chelsea better. Pochettino has also not shown any improvement at Chelsea this season which would likely be considered a failure, but he still has plenty of time to think about improvement.

So far Chelsea have won 3 of their last 5 matches in the Premier League and have collected 28 points in 20 matches. There are 18 more games that Pochettino can take advantage of this season and fight for a place in Europe, but I'm skeptical about that.

It’s going to be a very tough game for Manchester United considering their inconsistent form. You can tell if Manchester United is good at home or on away soil. They choose to win anywhere they want to win but I don’t know about this particular fixture. They lost to Tottenham in the first leg 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and I don’t think they would want Tottenham to do a double wins over them this season. They are having some players returning from injury so they should get at least a point or 3 against Tottenham.

But Tottenham have been more regular than Manchester United so far and I know that they will try to get a good result at Old Trafford to try to steal Arsenal’s fourth position, as The Gunners are only one point above them.

Manchester united is neither good at home or away they are just inconsistent and you can relay on them at any point to deliver a good result or to be able to win, both at how or on away soil they still exhibit so much of inconsistency in their performance, I was hoping they get the team fixed by this January window.

Tottenham at some point were inconsistent too but then in recent times they have been able to harness their performance once again and I doubt if Manchester united will really be a problem to them but then whenever Manchester united meets with weak team such as this that's almost their equal, they usually perform a little above average and are able to get a draw in some cases so I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams share points by the end of the game. This will keep Manchester united at the Seventh position if they are able to win but if they draw they will still maintain their current position.

This coach has consistently underperformed, showing no desire to win and always comfortable with losses. Pochettino has failed to bring improvement to Chelsea, and the team appears to be getting worse under his management. It's evident that the current project is destined for failure under him. Chelsea needs to change its system to progress, or else they will continue to struggle.

Today they lost to Middlesbrough in the EFL. But this is only leg 1. There is still a chance to qualify in Leg 2. If you look at the statistics Chelsea is very dominant, they made 18 attempts 5 on target. They had the ball dominantly. Middlesbrough only utilized counter attacks. But Middlesbrough were more effective. I think Pochettino is not too bad. Chelsea is currently in transition. It is not done in a short time. But today they made their 6th appearance with Pochettino without being able to score a goal.

Chelsea players dominated this match. But they can't win. Despite many attacks, Chelsea players could not score a single goal. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession.

Chelsea's performance in last night's match was really poor, due to which they could not win the match against Middleborough. Chelsea however had 72% possession while Middleborough only had 28% possession in the semi-final against Chelsea. Chelsea performed well in all aspects and were attacking but they couldn't keep the ball in the back of the net. Middleborough scored a goal in the first half and came back stronger and denied Chelsea any more chances to score and the keeper made a great save. Since they failed in the first leg match, it is difficult to say how well they will perform in the second leg but most likely they will do worse in the match. As Chelsea's performances are so erratic at the moment, they need to improve on this disappointing performance or face a semi-final exit.

It was an interesting match, I think there was no problem with the Chelsea players being motivated for the match. They just had a bit of an unlucky day and couldn't score. When you look at the statistics, you can see that Chelsea played better and dominated the match in this match. But a team that cannot score has no chance of winning the match. Chelsea also became a team that could not score a goal

Not having an unlucky day because Chelsea always performs well but the fact is that losing matches like this is often experienced by Chelsea when their statistics are superior but they lose then it is not natural, I always think there is something wrong with Chelsea so losing to low teams is no longer surprising to us.

If they have no motivation problems in players then why often lose in the Premier League or in other competitions? Then the only thing we suspect is that the coach cannot bring Chelsea even though he has invested a lot of money to spend on players the results are not there, they are only in the middle of the table until the first half.

The fact that dominating alone was not enough in this match, Chelsea was unable to score a goal meant that Pochettino tactics were not effective in making Middlesbrough players. In terms of team quality, Chelsea should be superior, right? This is the problem they are facing this season with the game and squad composition being too strange, maybe this is another bad sign that the coach cannot solve. in Leg 2, 1 goal behind can still be caught if Chelsea is able to break the opponent's defensive wall. Moreover, playing at home means Chelsea must be able to dominate even more than in today's match.

Manchester United vs Tottenham will be the most anticipated match this week in addition to some matches that might run quite balanced like between Brighton vs Wolves.
Manchester United will always be in doubt especially facing Tottenham who are much better than them this season at least that's what can be seen in how Manchester United has suffered 9 defeats while Tottenham are only 5x in 20 matches, Tottenham managed to score 42 goals while United only 22 goals and worse more conceded than goals scored by United.
The home factor is also not an advantage for Manchester United because this season has lost at least 4x at home and only 1 difference with 5x away defeats. This will be a difficult match for both but Tottenham although not the favored team will have a chance to get a point, their obstacle may be that Son has to defend his country in the Asian Cup so he will not play even though he is quite the foundation of Tottenham so far, so there may be weaknesses in their appearance later.

Youcan't blame the team for this but you need to blame the coach for this result. It was so pathetic to see chelsea missed lots of chance and that's why people were yelling poch out now. If you were chelsea fan then you could see the line up and strategy used by pochettino.
The team was playing so awful and this is the main problem. In fact, pochettino has done it so many times by putting his players in the wrong position. That was obviously affecting the performance from chelsea.
Poch thought that if this could be used as experiment but he was wrong and he was over confidence with it and i do believe that's the major problem at all.

If pochettino will be repeating another stupid mistake and i will stay he needs to be sacked as soon as possible. It's not about how good he was in managing the club but his decision making was so stupid.
Putting the players on their non actual positions obviously the biggest mistakes by him here. No doubt that if the fans have lost their patience. Honestly, the manager being so clueless this day. He didn't even know what he was doing.
This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by the club.

I don't like forecasting games like this because if you want to make a prediction, I know Manchester United will lose against Tottenham since they lost their last two games against Aston Villa and Nottingham very amusing they only won against wigan in the FA cup. Sincerely, this game will be a struggle for Manchester United, who are now in eighth place, and for Newcastle, who are always very near in terms of position and have become unserious at the same time. Newcastle now has their own threat in the form of Manchester City. And I have a bad feeling about that game between the city and Newcastle.

Tottenham was on its path to winning the Premier League title at the start of the season, but that journey has since ended, but in the long term, I still believe Manchester United will be burned. And this season's Premier League is as perplexing as the clubs themselves. Aston Villa is now in second place, but the hand of God will soon touch them. I also smell a draw or a straight win for Tottenham in this encounter.

Even though they are in fifth place in the standings, it seems they can still compete for the title this season, even though there are many competitors such as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Man City and Arsenal, it is certainly not easy for Tottenham to easily win the English Premier League title, at least they are focused on tickets to Champions League even though you have to be consistent in every match..

Of course all the matches are interesting to watch and in addition the competition at the top is very tight to win the title this season, even though Man United is in eighth place in the standings, it seems that their entry into the Europa League Zone is getting slimmer because Man United's game is very inconsistent. and even the game is like a breeze, it looks like the Man United vs Tottenham meeting will be won by Man United with a score of 1-0.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two weeks when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world-class striker I don't know what will. Honestly, no team will win anything with players who can't finish.

The faith for Chelsea winning the match was datched out by the players who obviously missed alot of chances to make that goal record that could have put Chelsea in the best possible position to have won the match, but with the level of missed chances during the match, it further pushes us to the point to conclude that Chelsea as a club has lost it position as the one-time champions who have delivered and expected to recover asap from the previous crisis that has rocked the club for some time now which have resulted into this current players demotivation.
Many of Chelsea fans have given up on the club's ability to make something good out of this season, and just like the last season, no hope of recovery for the club as it stance right now, Chelsea is gradually losing out, and the speed at which that is happening is quite alarming.

I think the coach should be blamed for the outcome of yesterday's match and Chelsea's misfortunes recently, they played very well, created alot of chances but failed to utilize any of these chance because there was no striker to convert those chances, so I wonder why a team like Chelsea would not have more than one striker or a backup striker to fill the gap in the absence of their main striker Jackson, the transfer market is open and i expect chelsea to get a striker now or risk loosing more important games before the return of their striker.

Yes, that's how Chelsea are now, they even struggle to get a win when dealing with opponents weaker than them. Nothing can be expected from them as long as they still show something promising like they are currently experiencing. Things are more complicated now, they are not showing any improvement in their performance. I'm not sure they will be champions, especially when their potential opponents are Liverpool who we know what they are like this season. Although the composition of the players is actually not much different, but from other things they are far behind Liverpool. In the game for example, Liverpool have a very promising game, in the Premier League itself they now occupy the first position, in the Europa League they are sovereign as favorites to become champions there.

I think coach Mauricio Pochettino has been given sufficient time to improve the team but it seems he is not showing any sign of stepping up the game of the club. He has been given all the players he wanted, yet they are finding it difficult to win even lower-class teams. Everybody knows the problem of Chelsea, which is the lack of a striker that can utilise the chances they create. We were hoping that Christopher Nkunku would improve the attack of the club but he has not shown that he could revive the Chelsea attack. Liverpool has a good coach that is technically sound and he has shown that he can change the fortune of Liverpool. The club had a bad season last season but look at what he has done to the club this season without even buying so many players. Chelsea still has the opportunity to make it to the finals if they can upturn the deficit in Stamford Bridge. It will not be also bad for Middlesbrough to make it to the finals and at least win a trophy for their loyal fans.

Today they lost to Middlesbrough in the EFL. But this is only leg 1. There is still a chance to qualify in Leg 2. If you look at the statistics Chelsea is very dominant, they made 18 attempts 5 on target. They had the ball dominantly. Middlesbrough only utilized counter attacks. But Middlesbrough were more effective. I think Pochettino is not too bad. Chelsea is currently in transition. It is not done in a short time. But today they made their 6th appearance with Pochettino without being able to score a goal.

Chelsea are really difficult to understand. How could you manage to be this ineffective at scoring goals while dominating a game? They even lost the game I mean. Sad

They should be thankful that the matchup is comprised of two legs. Otherwise they were already going to say goodbye to the EFL Cup which is probably the only tournament in which they can win the title.

But after watching this performance I don't think they would be able to beat probably Liverpool in the finale. Liverpool will be likely to have Salah back in the squad until the finale of the EFL Cup so Liverpool would be the winner of the cup I think.

By seeing how Chelsea played in the last match, I am increasingly convinced that Chelsea will also fail in the EFL Cup. Even if in the second leg they can turn things around and qualify for the final. But facing Liverpool will definitely be very difficult for Chelsea with their current performance. But Chelsea will be lucky if Liverpool lose so shockingly to Fullham today.

But Liverpool should have won today's match against Fullham. Because the strength levels of the two are also clearly different. Unless Klopp decides not to prioritize the EFL Cup and not play with their main players. So of course Fullham has a chance to win.

Yes, that's how Chelsea are now, they even struggle to get a win when dealing with opponents weaker than them. Nothing can be expected from them as long as they still show something promising like they are currently experiencing. Things are more complicated now, they are not showing any improvement in their performance. I'm not sure they will be champions, especially when their potential opponents are Liverpool who we know what they are like this season. Although the composition of the players is actually not much different, but from other things they are far behind Liverpool. In the game for example, Liverpool have a very promising game, in the Premier League itself they now occupy the first position, in the Europa League they are sovereign as favorites to become champions there.
