To be honest at the beginning of the season I was one of those who doubted Chelsea, but now I have to admit that Chelsea are on a different level both in terms of player quality and performance on the field. Enzo Maresca is the right person and must be maintained, because he is the only consistent coach after Arne Slot. Several coaches such as Arteta and Pep Guardiola are indeed experiencing problems with inconsistency. So Chelsea chances of entering are a reflection for Liverpool to remain vigilant.

Crystal Palace's performance is actually not good this season but Man City's performance this season is not so stable so Crystal Palace took advantage of this moment to make it difficult for Man City to win at least Crystal Palace was quite satisfied with holding Man City to a draw on the other hand Pep Guardiola is increasingly frustrated seeing his club not being able to perform optimally.

On which basis do you rate Chelsea as the greatest team in the Premier league after Liverpool? I hope it's not based on their current position on the table. They are doing pretty well so far this season but I don't see them anywhere near second when it comes to rating the great teams in Premier league. Maresca is right that they're currently focusing on building the team and not targeting the title this season. Even Chelsea players and their fans are surprised to see themselves in their present position on the league standing but there is also nothing wrong in winning the league while building the team.



Two poor teams taking advantage of each other. The match could have ended draw but the officiating was not fair enough against Wolves. West Ham were practically the better team but the referee and var denied Wolves two clear penalties that could balance the game. Perhaps, they will win against Ipswich in their next match if they should play the way they did yesterday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy hasn't lost a single game in the premier league as a manager.

Why? You can be a great footballer and have a bad day. Stuffs like this happens, it's nothing new. You'll never know because you don't play football? Maybe! Mason Mount? Why go back to your toxic ex who force his/her way outta your life? Lmao.
Brighton are such a great side tactically,  since they came to the premier league competition they've been leng. Fulham is that club I wan praise 👏

Chelsea's management and supporters believe they are going to deceive us by claiming that they are not competing for the Premier League championship this season. After Liverpool, Chelsea is the greatest team in the league with the best players. I wonder why they always say they can't do it when Liverpool is just four points above them. Perhaps that's Maresca's new tactic to win the league this season. However, we should continue to watch until the end of the season to see what happens.


That was an important win for West Ham to boost their league points, both teams delivered an equal effort in this game, but West Ham had the advantage of playing at home and grabbed all three points. Kudus' two goals hadn't been included due to offside; otherwise, the match would have ended 4:1. Before the game, I predicted a draw because Wolves always appear to make it difficult for their opponents to win and they could do everything in their power not to lose against West Ham, but the victory was not on their side. Wolves have already lost ten of their fifteen Premier League games this season. I doubt this team will avoid relegation this season.

Palmer incidentally also broke another EPL record for consecutive penalty kicks scored. Palmer has scored 12 consecutive penalties without a miss and it's not the end of the season, so if Palmer continues to score penalties accurately, he will set the record for consecutive penalties for a long time.

Tottenham as usual lacks stability and Postetoglou's team can beat anyone, as recently was the case with Manchester City and then again can lose to Ipswich Town or Bournemouth and therefore it is difficult to guess how Tottenham will play, but the team has a good squad and even without Kane it is clear that Tottenham can beat anyone, but without stability will not be able to claim victory in the EPL.

Chelsea just after the arrival of Maresca showed what it is to play stable and is now Liverpool's main competitor for the championship in the EPL.

Chelsea is on sound energy. Maresca is taking it slow and steady, like someone who doesn't care of winning the league but I believe deep down in him, he has plans to win the league. It's fun to see that EPL is coming back to those days when Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, City and United were fighting and struggling for the title and using only goal differences and few points to win the title. It's a pity that United is still struggling to pick form.

Chelsea has a good performance against Tottenham and we all can believe that Chelsea is back to their best performance, Chelsea game against Tottenham is the best game of the week because both teams play well, if not the chances Tottenham players miss they will have equalize and end the game draw, Chelsea is at the second position in the league table and any time they ask Enzo Maresca he will said that Chelsea can not compete with Liverpool, Manchester City and and Arsenal.

I think Enzo Maresca is a coach that doesn't talk too much, he just wants to try his best to surprise everyone, and about Leicester City, the new coach that Manchester United suppose to keep is working for them and Manchester United will also see the reason why some fans want the team to keep Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ruud Van Nistelrooy is doing better in Leicester City since he joins the team as the new coach.

Chelsea already got good foundation by their previous coach, Pochettino, but he failed to find an agreement with the club owner for development plan. They separated with a contract termination and Enzo Maresca was hired in massive doubt. Joining a big club like Chelsea with doubt but Maresca proved that he is a good choice for them at least so far and with many young players in the club, who also shown their growth in the last two seasons, I see bright future for Maresca, these players and Chelsea in general.

Their developmnet needs time but they are growing very fast in this season, top four is in their hands and now they can focus on higher target like a second position. They are at this position already, but it's time to maintain it, defend it against pressure from Arsenal and Manchester City, as well as wait for bad results from Liverpool for opportunities of joining the title race.

Yes, it seems that now Chelsea is starting to find a suitable coach for Chelsea and you can see that the Chelsea players are playing well and the game has changed clearly since Enzo Maresca coached Chelsea. Chelsea being able to beat Tottenham, yes, it is true that this is a good achievement considering that Tottenham is a team that can be said to be strong and of course cannot be taken lightly and of course if Chelsea couldn't take advantage of penalty kicks well at that time, Chelsea certainly wouldn't have won, especially considering last season. Of course Tottenham's performance is better than Chelsea. But of course, if you look at the standings, of course from the start before Chelsea's match against Tottenham started, I was actually convinced that Tottenham would not be able to beat Chelsea because of course Tottenham was ranked far in the current standings.

It's true what you said, it could be that now will be a golden era for Chelsea after the change of Chelsea coach because of course now they can reach 2nd place in the standings, of course this is a good achievement. Yes, it feels very difficult for Chelsea to become champions this season, but Of course, it is not impossible that this season Chelsea will become champions because after all, in the world of football, sometimes there are always many surprises. Yes, now Chelsea fans are definitely longing to see Chelsea become champions because Chelsea hasn't been champions for a long time. Yes, we'll see whether Chelsea will become champions like in 2017 or not.

and actually now is a golden opportunity for Chelsea to continue to climb the rankings and overtake Liverpool while their performance is declining for Manchester City and Arsenal.

I would say that Chelsea's improvement is possible because of Enzo Maresca. Enzo is a great coach. Honestly, none of us thought that we would see such a great performance from Chelsea this season. I didn't even think that Chelsea would be able to come in the top four of the table. Due to Enzo's excellent match strategy, Chelsea's overall performance is now very stable. This team is performing well consistently. That is why Chelsea is now in the second place of the table.

However, we still don't know how Chelsea will perform in the long run. Chelsea's squad is not as strong as Arsenal and City. Even then, this team is playing well. Especially Chelsea's attacking players are in good shape at the moment. Chelsea players have been able to score 35 goals in 15 matches. Chelsea is now the highest scorer in the Premier League.

Not just their defense, I think that the area they need someone very urgently is the goalkeeping department, Sanchez is actually a disaster in goal, and it's near impossible to win the league title with such a terrible goalkeeper.
No disrespect to Sanchez but he is actually the worst goalkeeper I have seen as the first choice of Chelsea football team since I started watching football, because not a single match that he features that he wouldn't display incompetence in goal.
So in my own opinion, the newly acquired Jorgensen should be used till someone much more better than them both is found.

Then as for the defense, I think that Chelsea just need a top central back that can lead From the back, but where the problem really is right now is the goalkeeping department.

The hard work that has been done so far has begun to bear sweet fruit, Chelsea has managed to climb to second place after a series of positive results achieved in the last few matches. Overall, the performance has been very good, the sharpness of the attack line has increased and the midfielders are also very creative in building attacks. Chelsea must improve their defense in January to be a contender for the Premier League title this season. They are currently Liverpool's closest rivals in the hunt for the top of the standings because Arsenal and Manchester City have been inconsistent in their last few matches.

Previously Wolves had suffered 9 defeats and this is the same as West Ham who got 7 defeats, basically both team are bottom of the table but West Ham has an advantage in today match which allows them to win.
I salute Wolves little because they were able to match West Ham and even managed to score 1 goal and made the score 1 - 1, there was hope for the match to end in draw but West Ham got good chance and got the superiority again, this was pretty good match.

I guess he has learnt from some of the managers who give the club and the fans hope of winning something but at the end they couldn't get anything before being sacked, so I understand what he is trying to do or doing because he already knows how the fans are and what they expect from every new manager, getting a new manager is like getting a savior and the fans act like they forget that to get to the top it takes time, whatsoever his (Maresca) plans are is working and he should keep it that way.
Chelsea has already shown that they can win something this season not only the EPL title and yes is not only Man City that are the enemies of Chelsea, every other clubs are like you said because every clubs has a target, some are trying to win the league, some are trying to finish in the top 4, some are trying to play any Europe competition some are battling with relegation while some are just trying to be their in the EPL so with all these you can't say these guys are ready to lose for Chelsea to always stay at the top, that's why is called a competition.
Even the Liverpool in question are trying not to make any mistake, they are already feeling the pressure even with the game at hand, Arsenal are coming Chelsea are coming and Manchester City are on the race so Liverpool need to secure every single point they can and Chelsea are just taking care of business the way they should.

There is no coach who does not want to give a title to his club even though it is quite impossible to achieve. I know Enzo Maresca does not want to be too happy yet because there are still many challenges ahead and he is afraid of making mistakes and giving false hope to his club. As long as Enzo Maresca can maintain Chelsea's performance until the end of the season, it is not impossible that Chelsea will win the EPL title again, but Chelsea's enemy is not only Man City because he has to compete tightly with Liverpool who are currently also struggling not to make mistakes.

No doubt about all you said about Liverpool, Manchester City and even UTD, is good for Chelsea to take advantage of all the poor performance of all these teams because it won't be nice to be noticing all these errors from these teams that you know are suppose to be competing for the title and making the EPL hot for every other clubs and you're also not in any way winning your games and showing that sign of lact of consistency, it won't be nice. I love where Chelsea are headed but the excitement should not be that high as the expectation because something disappointing can happen, go and ask the Gunners, and they're also a threat to Chelsea winning the title. They (Chelsea) started poorly this season and when it matters after coming back to light, can still fail at the end and I don't take all Enzo Maresca has been saying because these can be seen as mind games.

Enzo made a psychological approach to the Chelsea players. Well, so that the Chelsea squad can play more calmly and without feeling burdened by the pressure of becoming champions. All teams definitely want to be champions but Enzo just doesn't say so and he prefers the players to keep playing without big pressure and yeah it all looks very good now. Chelsea's young players really appear confident and this shows that these players can enjoy the game more because they are not under too much pressure. I like Enzo's take on this. Because the goal of all clubs is to become champions, but that doesn't need to be said. because when all that is said it might indeed be a pressure for the players. Because without saying anything, all players want the best for their club.

Yeah as we predict in previous seasons Chelsea just waiting for the right moment to return to the golden days while a strong team like Manchester City is also waiting for the end of their glory, this cycle continues to repeat in the Premier League and for next season I think it's time for Chelsea. For now the thing we are waiting for the most is Chelsea against Arsenal and Liverpool and based on their schedule they will fight next year, we want to see how Chelsea against Liverpool who are on Fire and in the race for this season.

Saying the club isn't in the title race relieves pressure on the players and allows them to perform without thinking they have to give their all to stay in the title race. He doesn't want to be in a situation where he says the team is in the title battle to hype up the season and keep expectations high when the squad isn't mentally prepared to start chasing the trophy.

He trains with them everyday so he knows what the mentality of his players are.
