Topic: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 - page 24. (Read 792613 times)

Yes, Chelsea haven't obtained a maximum of points (3 points) in their past four games in Premier League, and If you fast-forward back into their historical games records, you would find out that most of these games during December isn't always in their favor, Chelsea usually struggle or had difficulty in winning their games and getting maximum of points this period, they drew their last Premier League game against Crystal place and, lost two games, to Ipswich Town and Fulham and drew one against Everton, thereby losing 10 points in total in all these games.

Can't wait for this game week to begin.
It seems Chelsea has returned back to default mode, as they've struggled in their last 4 games(which I even expected them to win some comfortably, but they failed). Bournemouth is one of the most underrated side, or should I say underdogs, that has been taking points quietly, even from big teams as well. I feel the game might just end in a draw, or Bournemouth might end up taking all 3 points sneakily just like Fulham. If Bournemouth win this game, the space for that too four becomes more tighter.

And, Arsenal will also be in action against Tottenham in a North London derby game at the Emirates. Not sure of how the Arsenal fans are feeling currently, because things hasn't been going well for them lately. The issue of signing players(including a striker) is still troubling them. peradventure, Tottenham ends up winning that game, the fans won't take it easy at all.

Yes, that happened to Manchester City this season, they lost a lot of points in previous matches and now they seem to have found their best form again. Team instability is certainly very difficult to predict because when their pace is good but when they lose once then it could continue in the next matches. For that, a coach who has a lot of strategies will find it easy to restore the team's strength and also the support of all players to perform better will be able to bring them back to victory.

Chelsea has shown good development, but they need to maintain the stability of their performance so as not to lose points again. I think Chelsea's target is to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season because to compete to become champions it seems their mentality is not strong enough. But who knows if they can quickly get back to winning streaks of course their chances of becoming champions are very big because the season still has many matches left.

What is the fate of the Gunners after been knocked out of the FA CUP by UTD and about to be kicked out by Newcastle from the Carabao Cup I wonder what's going on in the heads of the players at the moment, they don't look like a team that can make a difference in any of the competitions they're in at the moment. The fans are really tired of all these crazy display every week and it seems like Arteta is comfortable with the way the team lose games and how they play too. After losing to UTD Arteta's comment with the press was so disappointing, like he's proud with the way the boys played and every other trash he said. This is not a team that have tha hunger to win a trophy and I'd say Tottenham are more eager to get a trophy this season than Arsenal.

Manchester United must be able to perform better in the premier league, I have not seen their performance improve because they are 4 games without a win in the premier league. The next match Manchester United will play at home against Southampton, this match is proof of their real strength because their opponents are in the relegation zone. Against a weak team must appear more consistent because a weak team can perform better when facing a stronger team.

Amorim must win the hearts of fans by bringing victory to Manchester United. This season Manchester United often loses when playing at Old Trafford, they must change that because playing in front of their own supporters of course they must be able to present a more interesting game. It does take time to restore the team's glory and also requires a lot of money to recruit other players.

Seriously, I am really impressed with the way Manchester United has been playing. At least I can say they are improving. We all know that Amorim is a good coach, it's just that he doesn’t have the players who can fit in the pattern that he wants to be playing, but even with the current players Manchester United has, Amorim is still trying to figure things out. I am sure when Manchester United starts signing players, then they will be a deadly team. Top teams are just finding it so difficult to win against Manchester United, most people didn’t expect them to win their to win their match against Arsenal in the last FA Cup.

Amorim needs time to rebuild Manchester United. Seriously, United has been in a big mess before Amorim came, and he will have to sign some players who he will be working with, but I am sure things will change for Manchester United, but it might take time.

Bournemouth are is the form of their life, they aren't just very good going up front but they are very excellent and compact behind this are the quality of a team that Chelsea usually fall prey to.
Chelsea may want to build on their FA cup game but I am not certain if they would win this one, but I am also not sure if Chelsea would lose either so I will go for a draw on this one.

Every team has a time they will lose form and by that time they are going to drop points. I think it's what's happening to Chelsea currently. It's very difficult to stay perfect all season. It was only Arsenal that were able to achieve this, during their invincible season under Arsene Winger. I think Chelsea dip of form is still going to continue for a while. They are playing Bournemouth tomorrow, although they are playing from home which should serve as an extra motivation for them. But Bournemouth is not an easy side to defeat. So Chelsea fans should not expect that their team is going to get 3 points tomorrow. Bournemouth is going to break the heart of Chelsea fans because their team is going through a lot right now.

I am also banking on Manchester United recovery. Their last two match is incredible and the particular one with Arsenal makes me to like them again even though they can't be trusted. It's rare for a team to play a final match with a red card but Manchester United did it and it's not even because they did it, it's the fact they were able to return the same energy Arsenal was pushing them and it was on despite the extra minutes that was added in the game.

Amorim deserve some accolades with this short term performance but there is something I want him to do before the end of the season. If Manchester United finish the season where they are right now, that means they will only play Premier League next season and Europa group stage since they won the FA cup but it would be more better if they can have a chance in Champions League, if they lose this opportunity, they wouldn't be able to show in there till next two years again, that's if they even qualify.

Again, it is their own way of letting us know that they are not in the title race and won’t really care more about those points they’ve loss. I know that every team will like to have a good place in the league title by end of the season but Chelsea publicly disclosing that they’re not in the title race to me, is just to avoid any black-ash from fans. Chelsea knows they’re doing very well this season and if they continue in this spectacular form, they will have a very good chance for the league title along side Liverpool and Arsenal for the league title.

Chelsea are still very much in the race of the league title because the point they have lost so far is not much that they can’t catch up and continue in the title race. Those points are not to have been lost by them and Chelsea needs to be more serious if they want to end the season in a good position much better than their last season. Enzo Maresca have been able to note out the problem of the team and already putting them on the right track with the squad depth they have. Hopefully by next season when they play in the champions league, they’ll be more consistent.

Chelsea performance has improved a little than what they have played over the past seasons but it's a shame to see them trying so hard to pass Nottingham Forest. If they are that good, they should be above Arsenal playing band for band with Liverpool but they are struggling to retain that 4th place, no wonder when people attack them trying to win the season trophy, they counter it by saying they are just playing, they are not in for the trophy but we know it's because they are still bad.

Newcastle and Manchester City seems to be interested at where Chelsea is sitting in, I'm not really  sure who is going to take the fourth place because Chelsea is weak unless they later improve on their performance. There is big chance Manchester City will like to come back to the top 4 so they can secure their place in the Champions League of next season, that means one team is definitely getting out of that place but I'm not sure yet which team is going to be affected.

What Chelsea has achieved this season has actually exceeded what people expected of this club. Just competing in the top 4 is already a rapid progress shown by this club this season with Enzo. And even if Chelsea hadn't dropped a few points in the last few weeks, maybe Chelsea could now be more competitive in the title race. But it seems that Chelsea will only fight for tickets to the UCL this season.

In the European Conference League, we also see Chelsea's performance which never disappoints. Chelsea continues to win with big scores. And Chelsea in the Conference League is currently truly at the top with 6 consecutive wins without ever losing at all. And I think from the middle of this season Chelsea will also bounce back in the Premier League. But the problem is that the next match against Bournemouth looks like it will be quite a fierce match. But I will still favorite Chelsea.

I don’t think Chelsea is exciting to watch, that is a team that is playing well but result haven’t gone there way in recent games, but the games isn’t so exciting to watch, a team that relies on a particular player isn’t so good and the player getting injured. I think that would be a season ending loss for that team, Chelsea only relies on Cole Palmer and that isn’t healthy for a football playing team, Just like Saka getting injured for Arsenal and they are going to have a bad run of games until he recovers from his injuries. Enzo Mareca tries to keep the ball and pressing up high through the flanks. Chelsea have spent a lot of money in recent transfers and they’ve been the biggest spenders in the premier league in two season it’s expected they should be fighting for the title. Chelsea should be going toe to toe in the title race with Liverpool but at this point they aren’t sure of making a top four which will be disappointing for them as a club after spending £1.2 Billion on players.

IMO, Chelsea are not so busy with participating in bigger competitions like the Champions League. Although Chelsea's schedule is quite tight with participating in several competitions, even so, the teams they are playing against are not super tough teams. That's why Chelsea can focus on improving their performance in the Premier League, plus Maresca is able to handle Chelsea very well. But in any case, Chelsea's performance deserves appreciation, they are still in the top four of the Premier League table so far. In the Arsenal camp, there are several factors that make them inconsistent. For example, several players were given red cards in several matches, injured players and Odegaard's absence were very influential as team captain. Plus Arteta has changed his pattern and system several times, unfortunately it didn't work well. They also have a focus on the Champions League, the teams they play against are not easy opponents and the impact is that sometimes their performance is inconsistent when playing in the Premier League. As for Liverpool, they are quite consistent in maintaining their position at the top of the standings. Four points ahead of Arsenal and Forest, plus having one postponed match that can be used to widen the gap between the pawns and the team below them. However, the journey is still long and there is no guarantee that Liverpool can easily win the trophy this season. Let's see how the Premier League continues, perhaps in some of its matches Liverpool experienced an unfavorable situation. If they want to win the League, then they must win match after match.

Compared to the last season, Chelsea's performance this season is strong. However, we have seen Chelsea lose in the last four matches. Chelsea has lost points in four matches consecutively. So, if we compare the recent performance of Chelsea and Bournemouth, Bournemouth has to be put ahead. Again, if we judge the strength of the squads of the two teams, Chelsea is definitely stronger.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth match will be competitive. Bournemouth has not lost any match for a long time. Bournemouth will want to remain undefeated in this match as well. On the other hand, Chelsea's target will be to win. However, we have not seen Chelsea's defenders play well in the last matches. If Chelsea's defenders cannot play well in this match as well, then there is a big possibility of Chelsea being defeated.

Chelsea are still struggling to find their rhythm in attack, scoring very few goals, while Bournemouth have become one of the toughest opponents for top clubs thanks to their strong defensive setup. Wins against Tottenham, Man United, Man City, and Arsenal are no fluke—they're making a serious push for a solid spot in the top half of the table. Bournemouth are in great form, and I believe both teams have a chance to score, but Bournemouth look well-positioned to take the win.

Yes, that's right. Actually, both teams, Arsenal and Chelsea, have been inconsistent so far because they are far behind Liverpool who are at the top of the standings. It's just that why do many people only talk about Chelsea. Because before Chelsea slumped like this, they managed to overtake Arsenal but in the end Chelsea was overtaken by Arsenal again and even by Nottingham Forest which made Chelsea in 4th position in the standings.

In addition, because the coach always makes blunders, even though other teams already know Chelsea's weaknesses. Chelsea when continuously pressured by opponents is always confused, finally the ball is played in the middle and back. You can see and analyze this well from the beginning Chelsea lost points against Everton, plus Enzo was very bad at making substitutions which finally Chelsea lost points in a row, from the last 4 matches in the EPL Chelsea only got 2 points. So it is very natural that Chelsea is criticized a lot for losing points in four consecutive matches.

Chelsea declined in position on the EPL table. Ranking from second spot to 5th, how would Enzo Maresca explained this to the press? He's confident of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League slot, but for the EPL title race? He doesn't suit in this space, probably he's building an army and such needs more lengthy time. Poor performance are originated from teams that are suffering inconsistency in matches. They become very popular and eligible when they have quality players. Enzo Maresca should manifest his presence in Stamford Bridge because he's one of the top pillars in the club. He becomes key project when he started the season in good shape. The Blues suffering from back to back setbacks, is absolutely no coincidence. Chelsea performed against average teams and shared points with these teams. Chelsea need an upgrade performance and this requires more time for such elite team to fit in.

Manchester United who managed to get two pretty good match results might be a sign that they are starting to recover and also a sign that Amorim has started to find a suitable strategy for this team. Because in the previous match Manchester United also managed to hold Liverpool to a draw with a score of 2-2 in the Premier League, and yesterday they also succeeded in the FA Cup by holding Arsenal to a draw in normal time and managed to beat Arsenal in the penalty shootout. Mid-season always brings a lot of changes as usual. But usually when a team manages to bounce back, there will usually also be a team that experiences a setback. So let's just see.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Manchester United defeated Arsenal on penalty kicks in the crucial FA Cup match. Manchester United fought hard in the early stages of the game against Arsenal and at times it looked like Manchester United would go ahead with a goal against Arsenal but in the end Manchester United were unable to score due to Arsenal's strong defence. As time goes by, Manchester United's performance seems to be getting better. A team that was regularly defeated in various leagues a few days ago is now competing hard with the best teams in the league and winning most of the matches. Manchester United will need to continue this form until the end of the season. If they finish this season well then they will add more quality players in the transfer season which will make their team stronger for the next season.
