By now I gave up on thinking about what Chelsea could be thinking. I am not sure there has ever in the history been a team with comparable investment efforts and such a terrific overall failure. Every time when I think that this is the deepest point they could get to, something worse is even possible for them. I don't know how they do it, but this Chelsea has nothing to do with the top club Chelsea they once were. I mean all these players that signed a new contract there for many many millions and with spectacular salaries, don't they feel some responsibility and guilt? Who is screwing all of this up? It can't be the coach alone.

Nothingham Forest really was lucky, they didn't get the better of the game though but games like this when you don't score early enough against tough sides, you find it problematic to make things better.
Despite Forest threatening first half, The blues dis had a good game. Raheem Sterling was the best player during the first half for blues cutting through the the right wing but didn't get a good goal chance to slot one at the back of the net.

Not a bad game for Chelsea, Palmer should have been paired with Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, Gallagher runs to and fro on the pitch and adds nothing to the club. He shouldn't have stayed for another season, a loan move should develop him in the right direction for the club, if not he should be sold off completely.

Elanga though got to score but should be unselfish and learn to play as a team. Last week they should have won Manchester United, this week they didn't do better but showed class against Chelsea.
Chelsea players will blend but time is something that it'll sure take them.

I believe there are many people that predicted that Nottingham Forest will win Chelsea.
If you have watched Nottingham Forest from the beginning of this season, are you will know that they have improved their squad and pattern of play and in the other hand Chelsea is still struggling to find their way forward amidst their new coach and so many new players. A very good sports bet analyst and a risk-taker will predict that Nottingham Forest will win Chelsea and I am sure that some persons must have done that.
Football is all about teamwork and team bonding. If your team does not bond, individual players will do nothing even with following the coach's instructions.

You rightly said it correctly. The defeat of Chelsea was caused by the wrong formation that Pochettion used to play against Nottingham Forest. A home team should have more of an attacking force at the front against their opponent.
By right, Chelsea shouldn't lose this kind of game at home to a lesser-known team when the league games haven't gone very far. Losing three points in today's match does not speak well of Pochettino's managing Chelsea as a coach. He needs to place all Chelsea players in the proper positions on the field so they can perform as expected rather than struggling to score and give their best effort.

Given their performance against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea had better take their upcoming games seriously. I think they believed they were a weak team that they could defeat easily, but after they all missed first-half opportunities, that's when they started to take things seriously. Jackson won't be able to rest easy for the rest of the day after ruining the goal, so if they don't watch out, they might finish in the top 10 like they did last season. LOL How on earth did you think Chelsea would won that game; despite numerous attempts, they lost in the first half.

Manchester City are really acting ridiculously. They didn't even play a good game in the first half, and even their new winger, Doku, was just trying to shine out in his first game. Since he doesn't know the team to which he was assigned, he will chop bench. Even their second goal wasn't supposed to count because a player made an attempt but didn't manage to touch the ball, which is a true offside. Fulham's strength is weakened by the second goal because they played Manchester City in the first half.

Chelsea was so weak and their strength was only able to beat The promotion team in the previous game when they beat Luton and after that they failed when they faced Nottingham Forest.
Even this defeat was painful because they had to lose in front of their own supporters which made Chelsea have to endure the embarrassing frustration of being ridiculed by their own supporters.

The sizable spending in the transfer window by buying players with high release clauses has not given great hope for the team's progress. Previously or last season, Chelsea or Chelsea fans blamed the coach for failing to show their best quality. But in this season, who is to blame?

The majority of people will go for a straight win for Chelsea since everyone believes that Chelsea has improved and that Nottingham can do nothing to Chelsea in assumption of people, All my thought was that Chelsea would win I did not place any bet, and was hoping that Chelsea would win against them, Nottingham and some other clubs are really scaring me this season Brighton and Tottenham etc. this season is not going as predicted at all

I disagree, I think this Chelsea team seriously have exciting young players and with great potential but one thing is lack which is team cohesion. Mauricio Pochettino Was actually wrong with the way he set up the team. Playing a standing three man defenses and a five midfields with wing backs and two attackers is wrong against a team like Nottingham forest. He should have started a traditional back four and bring in an extra attacker on the right wing. Chilwell might ne the captain but he has been poor this season and Colwil should be used as a replacement for him.

One positive thing from the match is that Cole Palmer is seriously an asset he would help Chelsea solve the problems of an attacking midfielder if deployed there and then both. Fernandez and Caicedo can slot in as the Central Midfielders behind him.


The match between both Manchester United and Arsenal will definitely be interesting except something else happens. Both teams have been having a mixed start to the season with both team players yet to replicate the same style the managers want to play. I would prefer a United win but based on past records of Arsenal been unbeaten at home to Manchester United since 2017 is a good head on to fancy Arsenal, also united away record to top teams has been so poor since Ten Hag arrival

truth be told,  Fulham was up against an elephant in the European leagues,  because Manchester City still remains the strongest club in the European league and even in the champion league so for Fulham to have made a 1 goal score in the match today even though Manchester City defeated them with 5:1 goals makes it seem that Fulham should be given some credits.

But also we have to know that the leagues are still at their early stage and at that we are going to see a lot of performance from those clubs that could still charge this narrative.

The london clubs have been impressive this season except for some like Fulham and Crystal Palace who have not been up to par this season but we are still a long way from finishing the season, a lot of drama are yet to unfold in the season. Arsenal against Manchester United comes with so much entertainment and emotions. I am anticipating this fixture this weekend, I have my bets already staked high on Arsenal to win against Manchester United.

Am not sure that people will bet on Nottingham Forest to win but am sure that there will be some people that will bet on Nottingham to score at least one goal which I also did and it happened because when I check their games played against Arsenal and Manchester united and they was able to scored against this teams, I just believe they will try their possible best to next Chelsea even they did not win the game but seriously I lose because other did not played as I predicted it.

Looking at the formation used by Pochettino, it is the same as Nottingham with a 3-4-2-1 formation, Pochettino as Chelsea coach should be able to read the strategy used by his opposing club but it is a shame that Pochettino and the Chelsea players are too focused on just scoring scores with big ambitions that they forget.
The important thing about defensive strategy is not to concede like what Nottingham did in today's match and I see that Pochettino as a coach cannot read the opponent's opportunities or strategies so this coach has difficulty scoring and for Nottingham this is actually like a lucky goal when the players from Elanga defensive line was caught off guard and took the opportunity to score and actually Chelsea could have done the same thing but it came back to the coach who gave a bad strategy that was too focused on the attack line.
I admired Nottingham in this match even though I am not a fan of this club but Nottingham deserves praise for being able to beat Chelsea as the host and Steve Cooper as the coach of this club is also very smart in giving the right direction to his players.

Well, today we had a lot of games with some surprises, such as Newcastle's game against Brighton, in this game I even looked at Newcastle as the favorite and that they could win or draw in this game, but to my surprise, Brighton managed to score 3 goals in this game and only conceded 1 goal, it was a result that left me very surprised and with this result Newcastle has gone 3 consecutive games without winning, which is making it a bad start for Newcastle in the premier league, in my opinion Newcastle committed the serious thing mistake of not having signed many good players in the transfer window, they were convinced that having the current squad would be enough, but they forgot that their opponents would be better thanks to the arrival of new players

Chelsea lost, and to be honest I'm not surprised, that's because this Chelsea squad is a joke especially in attack, Chelsea have a weak attack, but they keep making meaningless signings. everton drew, they also don't have a strong squad, so they are just fighting to not be relegated, brentford also drew, in this game I saw them as favorites to win, but they didn't manage to win.

Manchester City won, in that game it was already expected that Manchester City would win, but what I didn't imagine was that they would be able to score 5 goals in this game, Haaland managed to score 3 goals, the guy will be the biggest scorer of this season. in another game tottenham beat burnley, in a game in which burnley scored first, but tottenham tied and scored another 4 goals, so tottenham won the game in a convincing way, in this game son scored 3 goals. I bet on Tottenham and watched the whole game on TV, congratulations to Tottenham for winning and giving me a profit



with this result, manchester city remains at the top and tottenham is in second place, to be honest, I don't see city having opponents capable of preventing them from becoming champions again, at least that is the conclusion I reach seeing the results of these first games, things might change

I warned people to stay away from Newcastle match yesterday because I carefully analysed how Newcastle is going. If you check well Newcastle have been having difficult features since the season started. The only time that I have blamed Newcastle not to win a match is the match against Liverpool, whete Liverpool who was one man down was able to win the match. Newcastle will not be able to maintain their stand, this season. Why they had this poor performance today is also because of the Champions League fixture news that appeared yesterday besides we should not underrate Brighton and we know what they can do and what they have been doing to big teams. If Newcastle will plan well there is still time for them to just focud on one title and forget the others.

The players Nottingham forest bought on the last day of the transfer window are much better than Chelsea's signings. Forest would have scored more with a full squad. Chelsea have no great players except Enzo, I like Mudyrk and that's it. This team needs a guy like Julian Naagelsman, who's available. But Chelsea have brought in a guy like Mauricio Pochettino, who has no more success than he had at PSG and there is no tactics, no game plan. Everyone is playing everywhere and running around the pitch for nothing. I sadly pity the Chelsea fans.

Matheus Nunes actually failed to show his best potential with Wolves. and he realized he needed a club that could support him to show his best potential. and City may be the best place for that. an astute coach and also a playing partner of extraordinary skill. this would be the best place possible in his professional football career.
however, he will have to compete for Pep's trust to get a chance to play. because we know Pep very rarely changes his players in every match if he doesn't really need a change in strategy.

That is natural for Nunez especially since he needs to improve his career. It is difficult for a player to refuse an offer from a top team like Manchester City which could potentially make a player win his dream title, this clearly influenced Nunez when he received an offer from Manchester City.

In fact, Matheus Nunes was on the bencht today when Manchester City beat Fulham 5-1. Juan Manuel Lillo didn't give him a debut and preferred to play Oscar Bobb and Kalvin Phillips instead. Matheus Nunes will probably get his chance in the next match while preparing himself to train more and adapt to his team mates in training sessions.

Things are really not going well for Chelsea, 4 games and 2 of them defeats. Now you can't say that it's about the coach, he has a good and successful experience, besides Chelsea had a good transfer window, they have everything they need for a good and well-coordinated game. It's sad to look at all this, I don't even understand what they are missing

Most people were thinking that Chelsea would win the match since they won their last match, which I am sure will motivate them, but they ended up disappointing most people. Chelsea always has the opportunity to score in most of the matches they have played, but they always miss those opportunities. The same thing happened today, they had lots of opportunities to score but they ended up wasting them all, and Notingham was lucky to score a goal.

Manchester City and Tottebham played well today. I knew Manchester City would win today's match, but I wasn't thinking they would be able to score 5 goals in the match since they couldn't score many goals in their last match against Sheffield Utd, so I wasn't expecting many goals from Manchester City today. I was thinking the absence of Pep Guardiola would really affect their performance in today's match, but they ended up surprising me today. Haaland played well today, and he was able to score a hat trick today.

The Portuguese star, Matheus Nunes left Wolverhampton and he was negotiating with Manchester City for weeks but Wolverhampton didn't want to lose this palyer. He stopped training with the teams and this made Gary O'Neil very mad and in the end, Gary O'Neil decided to let Matheus Nunes leave Wolverhampton.
