I think Chelsea will perform better in coming season as compared to currently, despite their impressive display in a 4 draw goals match against Manchester city on the weekend.
I was blown away indeed. I didn't really get to believe at first they would dare win or even draw the match,  but the results was interesting and nothing short of a miracle. Hehehe.

They do need a striker as I have often said, I do think Osimhen is a good choice of striker to be considered for that role.

It becomes real. Many were doubting the performance from chelsea but pochettino's squad was very very strong when it was facing a strong club. I can't even describe how big the improvements being made by chelsea but the result is enough to answering everything.
Chelsea becomes even more structured than before. The gameplay is also amazing caused by there was strong chemistry between any players and this club is going to be a perfect club someday.

Trust the process that's what pochettino said about chelsea. Chelsea is only need a good striker at this moment who can perform better than jackson. Probably osimhen or someone who capable enough to do that.
Chelsea is the best once in the last 25 years. No doubt if people are seeing chelsea is having very good progress at this moment. The club is now always hearing with any complaints that came to the club.
This is crazy. I can't imagine how good chelsea in the next years.

I have been notice after international break Premier league has a big match between Manchester City vs Liverpool and we all know both teams were in the good shape because whether it Manchester City or Liverpool recent performance is almost equal but the meetings records has been showing Liverpool always be hard struggle to gets the winning result at Etihad Stadium because in the last 2 matches at Manchester City home ground Liverpool always be lose and this is interesting to know whether Liverpool can able to win and taking over first place or Manchester City will win

The team conditions from them looks quite good although some of Liverpool players were got injured i think it won't be affect to their performance later even so with Manchester City although they still lost De Bruyne but so far their performance was still stable at premier league or champion league and for this match Manchester City has a good opportunity to win the match especially Halland has return to scores goals again recently but hopefully after international break there won't be any more players from both teams who getting injured

Chelsea was on fire. This club was giving very good showes two times in a week. One against totenham then manchester city. Chelsea needs only to train how to break the low block strategy and im sure this club will be performing so crazily. Many people were doubting this club but the last matches have proven if there have been many changes happened in chelsea. Even so many fans from other clubs were also giving their praises to the match between chelsea vs manchester city caused by it was really world class match. No doubt that if many people are feeling so happy caused by they were watching the real footballs here. This match is farr better than elclassico from la liga which is a boring match right now. Chelsea and manchester city are strong clubs.
Chelsea needs only to go up then try to reclaim the position to be qualified for the UCL competition. Many people are hoping chelsea will be back at the top.

Chelsea's next match will be against Newcastle and that match will speak more of how far they can go this season. If Chelsea can win against Newcastle in an away match, you know that they have been able to survive their tough match for this month and year, and the rest of their match this year will be minor and they will win them all.

With Manchester City's performance and position as the best team in the world, no club side has been able to score up to 4 goals in a match against them. And Chelsea were able to do that. That's unbelievable for such to happen between Chelsea and Manchester City.

It's like Manchester City's dominance in the premier league will be shaken this season. I don't think they will be able to lift the Premier League trophy due to how weak their defense is becoming

Pep guardiola always find it difficult to win teams that are defensive and attacking minded, if your team is solid enough to contain the firepower of the Manchester City midfielders, and your team can as well force attack, just the way Chelsea played, then you will have a fulfilled Day against pep guardiola, because your team cannot control the midfield against Manchester City, Manchester City have more midfielders that will try to break through your defence line,  but hence your defence is solid and you are attackers are also living up to expectations, then your good to go.

Actually, Chelsea has started to recover and is starting to find its best form of play. It's just a shame that when they started to rise they happened to meet strong teams like Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City. Beating Tottenham and holding Arsenal and Man City to a draw has been good for Chelsea so far, they are slowly starting to make good progress.

I also see it like that, this is not a problem with the Man City defenders, but this is because of the courage of the Chelsea players to attack. To be honest, not all clubs dared to play against Man City with Chelsea's style of play yesterday because the risk of conceding was high, because we know that there is no doubt about the passing accuracy of Man City players. But I still respect Poch who dared to play openly attacking Man City's defense until Man City's back line was unable to withstand the onslaught of Chelsea players.

I do not think that Pep underestimated the opponent, he has never had this before and he prepared the team for every match as if it was against the strongest team. It's just likely that Chelsea changed tactics abruptly, and Pep just didn't know it, because up to that point it had never happened. In any case, the match was great, it gave many people back hope that Chelsea can at least try to get into the top 6 this season.

Yes you are very correct because that's what they are known to be, but however I have been following up there history of football whenever they meet big teams, they hardly lose match against them, so however watching yesterday match Chelsea against Manchester city made me to realize how strong they normally be whenever they meet big team.

Perhaps I don't no if I could refer it as a gift that has been ordain by the spirit of football on them because the thing is becoming too obvious, first it was Tottenham Hotspur that has been maintaining there unbeatable records and Chelsea was the team that broke there records, and now drawing with Manchester City with many goals different.

You can't blame any Man City defenders, they did better than the Chelsea defence in that match (the CB though), Chelsea was the better team in the game, you can see it in their fighting spirit till the end of the game while Conor, Palmer and Sterling did really well, Jackson still need to improve, if Haaland had all the opportunity he had in that game, you know Chelsea would have definitely lost

I believed chelsea will surprise us with a good performance but i never expected them to pull a performance this good against Manchester City, we all know the result when chelsea play manchester city but this time around chelsea surprised us. Chelsea have been excellent against bigger opponents even though everyone expected them to lose against them. The match is the best EPL match i have watched so far this season and I think chelsea were the better side and they deserved to win in my opinion had it been they were more clinical. Lets hope chelsea can maintain this momentum and play with the same spirit in upcoming matches after the international break.

Of course this is not about the fault of one or two players, but all players must be responsible. Ruben Diaz did a good job of preventing goals, but he failed to make a clean tackle in Chelsea's favor. It was a crucial decision for Diaz, but he must have felt guilty about his failure to make a clean sweep in the penalty area.

Broja was the differentiator in that match, but Chelsea really had great form. I was impressed with what they showed and hope it is a good start to getting the same form in their next matches. Pochettino definitely deserves to be happy, but it doesn't have to be for long.

Stamford Bridge was filled with chants of victory and there was presence of confident fans. That's exactly how game are ought to be played, I couldn't figure out any specific action other than applaude the best team on the pitch. Chelsea vs Manchester City game was intriguing, watched top performance from these players and both team was unable to make any difference, tie down till the end of the game. Anthony Taylor did his best to maintain the momentum of the game from first half till end of the game. Though he missed out on some important action on the pitch but at least he's currently improving weigh more than last season.

The match was just so interesting, I didn’t expect a good performance from Chelsea in the match. Seriously, everyone has been saying that’s one of the best games of the season. No one expected the match to be so interesting. People were expecting the match to be an easy win for Manchester City since we all know that Manchester City is really in form recently and Chelsea can’t compete with them, but everyone was just surprised with the performance that Chelsea put up in the match. The match ended in a draw, but everyone was satisfied with the way Chelsea played in the match.
 
Seriously, Chelsea have been playing well lately. I am just surprised that no strong team has been able to win Chelsea since the beginning of the season. They always play draws. I am beginning to have confidence in Chelsea. I just hope they will be able to continue with their current good performance, and if they can do that, they should be able to win their next few matches.

Do not put blame on Diaz he was trying his best to clear the ball with that glide on the ball which he did the contact was only too obvious to be avoided by Anthony Taylor. Anthony Taylor did well during that game even if chelsea fans are not in support of most decisions he made yesterday. Chelsea coach was approaching him for killing the game when chelsea had a counter attack going to cities goal post.
The goal from Jackson and the penalty all came through the midfield they failed to hold City who attacked dangerous city well.  James also held  Dolu down in his hands.

Manchester City's biggest disappointment in the away match against Chelsea was that they failed to maintain their 3-4 lead in injury time. Ruben Diaz was forced to commit a foul to prevent Armando Broja from firing a shot towards goal, but this was detrimental to his own team because his tackle resulted in a penalty for Chelsea. It was painful to see Manchester City being broken into by two of its former players even though both of them felt uncomfortable celebrating.

I agree that Manchester City's defense looked chaotic in that game. They found it difficult to stop Chelsea's many goal attempts even though Ederson Moraes made many saves. I also feel it was one of the best matches this week or this month or perhaps so far this season. But the most pleasing thing is that Manchester City is still leading the standings, even though they failed to win against a team that is inconsistent with its performance.

I'm have forgiven Chelsea for having loss consistently because yesterday game was very long since I have watch something like that from the blues. It's not about having draw with Manchester City, it's about how serious they were hitting back and putting pressure on Manchester City, even when they were conceding, they regained back on the lane so fast in equalizing every goals, I'm not sure if Manchester City has even face a tough opponent in home match like Chelsea this season.

What is expected from Pochettino as from now is nothing but anything more than yesterday performance, imagine if they have been pulling goals like this, lord knows where they will have been by now in the standing. They have bear Tottenham with advantage of red cards, beat Arsenal on natural ground to equalized and lastly beat Manchester, then the rest of the team should be a holiday to move up in ranking.


Let's hope they don't behave as usual because when a team received too much love from fans, they misbehave so much but if indeed what they played yesterday was really effort of Pochettino and the players, I doubt if there is need for more midfielders he is always complaining about, he should utilize these players till January, he will see a reason not to sign any players again and will do better before that transfer period.

Not only you, most people must be surprised with Chelsea. No one expects that Chelsea will make Man City to play a bit defensive. Chelsea played more offensively that Man City, Chelsea players tried to give a pressure for Man City players to stay in their area. Pochettino makes Chelsea to play very convincing, they play with a big confidence and they never feel afraid with big teams in EPL.

I think Chelsea has a chance to win the match. Newcastle didn't play very well in the last few matches. Meanwhile Chelsea looks playing very confident in the last few matches. if we consider their current performance, Chelsea looks to have a higher chance to win against Newcastle. 

Actually if we look at Tottenham, it is on a par with the 3 clubs you mentioned, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Ange squad has only lost twice to their opponents so far, just like Pep Guardiola squad has lost twice in the EPL, one of which was also against Wolves. Currently the difference in points is quite thin, so it is very possible that in the coming weeks the standings will continue to change. Ange really understands that they have to be consistent to get points, if they want to have Favorite team status, but their luck seems to have run out in their previous two matches. It could be that they will have the opportunity to reclaim the standings after the international break, because Man City will face Liverpool. Of course this is an advantage for Tottenham, if the two clubs draw.

I couldn't possibly close my mouth while reading the huge praises showered on Chelsea, oh my God, this is much...lol. Do you think they really deserve all these? The last season is even far, this season, they've played so shamefully in the wake of it before the recent feat that looks like a recovery. This is not different from the clubs that are in form but had their downtime at times, Chelsea might be having their uptime now, but can they really sustain this? That's the question.

As much as I wish Chelsea and their fans well, I believe it's still very early to believe they can do so spectacularly to the point of giving them 4-5th. The clubs they played at this supposed recovery time are to be put into consideration as well. But I certainly must give them a big kudos for drawing Man City, no one could have thought Man City would not beat Chelsea blue and black yesterday, it's a great draw for them. But I need more months of playing and assessments to ascertain if Chelsea has really come out of the woods, which is why I'm still neutral about them despite their recent improvements.

Besides, those clubs ahead of them will be difficult to displace except the like of West Ham, they've relaxed too much, so maintaining the 4-5th position will be a huge task for them if others wouldn't relax.
