He's getting older now and he's moving away from his old performance. 39 is too late for football unless you are a goalkeeper. Even goalkeepers do not play football until that age. If we talk about the Luton match, I think they will beat Luton comfortably and get their first win in the league.
Luton is a promoted team this season in the Premier League so they will definitely have a little trouble against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, moreover Chelsea themselves will also take advantage of that match to get full points because they know that their opponent is a promoted team which is not so strong in the Premier League. And everyone will find it easier to make predictions for which team will win the match because they are very aware that Luton is not an opponent at the level of Chelsea at this time.

Yesterday’s match was interesting as both teams were trying hard to outdo each other on the pitch. I followed the game until the 76th minute and I must say that Arsenal look better this season. Mikel Arteta has stepped up his game this season with new strategies to pursue the league and new additions who are making impact already. The boys should good composure last night especially after getting a red card, they didn’t panic or lose focus rather they stayed together and defended their one goal lead until full time.
I am not yet convinced with arsenals performance this season they did better last season compared to what they are currently playing now and other small clubs are even playing better this season and with the way Arsenal is playing, I feel it will even become more difficult for them to win the premier league since they did well last season I felt since they have tested glory they will want to improve and try to win this season but not with this performance, and Arteta needs to step up and change strategy am not feeling this arsenal, they played but could not score is not nice at all we need goals the season is fresh we need the whole point now so that when it gets hard we don't struggle that much again.
It seems that at the start of the season, Asenal had learned a lot from last season, when compared to their aggressiveness last season, they never lost but at the end of the season they were even overwhelmed. For this reason, Arteta tries not to make mistakes, I mean Arsenal this time trying to relax or stabilize a little from each match, not being aggressive at the start but being consistent in winning. So that their energy is more controlled to be maximized in the mid-season to the end of the season. I think that's what Arteta wanted to show and most importantly they won full points even though they had to score 1 goal.
I do not think its aggressive but the ambition is too big to be able to get a title in the EPL last season which looks like it aggressive to keep getting points at the start of the season until towards the end of the season Arsenal players lost a stable physique and affected their performance in their last match. so it makes perfect sense that at this time Arteta prefers to play in a relaxed manner even though he has big ambitions but will be a little more relaxed so as not to waste too much energy because Arsenal not only want to win the EPL title but also want to get the title in the UCL.a bit tough task for Arteta to always be careful to maintain the stability of his players to keep performing perfect in every match even though the UCL will indeed be a difficult match but Im sure getting the EPL title will have a bigger chance even though I have to compete with Man City who not give degree easily.
Two matches have been played at the start of this season and we have seen that overall only 3 teams have been able to achieve perfect results in the 2 matches they have played. Brighton, Manchester City and Arsenal are the ones who have won full points in their first 2 matches. I believe Arsenal are still strong enough to challenge for the title this season but they need to continue to be consistent. The win with a narrow score in the match against Crystal palace has made them maintain the opportunity to continue to win in every match.
Liverpool also went well at the start of this season because they were able to perform well in the previous two matches but 1 draw and 1 win made us sure Liverpool would be able to compete in the top 4 this season. Even though it is still too early to judge their performance, we already have the DNA of the team that made the best changes this season.
This is a good start for these three clubs this season. My surprise is on Burnley who has started this season with a super victory over their opponent because they are not among the clubs that finished top four. I believe that if Burnley continues with this performance,they will go very far in the league.Liverpool also went well at the start of this season because they were able to perform well in the previous two matches but 1 draw and 1 win made us sure Liverpool would be able to compete in the top 4 this season. Even though it is still too early to judge their performance, we already have the DNA of the team that made the best changes this season.
I am not surprise towards Manchester City and Arsenal winning their two matches because they are on the top of the table last season and more is expected from them. Arsenal narrowly escaped a draw game yesterday because it was obvious that they couldn't score a clear goal without a penalty kick,but what matters is that they gained all three points.

Arsenal were only able to win the game with one goal from the penalty spot and they had a lot of trouble finding Fulham's goal in a normal game. So many opportunities were generated by Arsenal in this match but all failed to convert as goals. Nketiah, who is expected to be a substitute for Gabriel Jesus, was also less impressive in this match even though he was also the key to Arsenal getting a penalty. In addition, if Arsenal are not used to winning easily away from home, then they will have trouble again when they face stronger opponents later. Well, whatever it is, I hope Mikel Arteta can emphasize things that make his players work harder.
The game between Arsenal and Crystal Palace just seemed odd to me because Arsenal's performance was so bad. If Arsenal's performance wasn't bad, how could they be missing all of these scoring opportunities while having them? All of Arsenal's key players were present, and they couldn't score until they had a chance to take a penalty and managed to score just one goal. Let me simply say that Arsenal played a lucky game yesterday; if not, the game would have ended in a draw. I recognise that Crystal Palace is a powerful and capable opponent, but if Arsenal players take their games seriously, they will easily defeat Crystal Palace.
I've been pondering how this great team's performance has changed recently. A team's performance has seemed off since last season for Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, and I believe this is due to the way these teams spend their money on players. Some players are worth the money spent on them; money have change some players' performances, especially in Chelsea. The Blues have spent a lot of money on players, but nothing has changed. Even the Arsenal, which spent a lot of money on Declan Rice, hasn't seen any positive results from him this season.
Chelsea and Liverpool have changed a lot this season, with the entry and exit of players making the first game a bit needing adaptation in the league, and a draw in the first game is a fair result for both teams, maybe with the next few matches we will see that the two teams will be more solid and shows the true quality of this team, and I believe in the second meeting in the league there will be a winner and judging from the first game I see Liverpool will be slightly above Chelsea at the end of the season
Chelsea and Liverpool are English giants, both of them will always find a quick way to improve their appearance. Because the process of becoming an ideal squad takes time, for Liverpool and Chelsea this is commonplace. This season with new players and Liverpool trying to patch the midfield position will be maximized properly. The current Chelsea coach is clearly different in quality even though in the transfer window it is considered wasteful because it costs a very large amount. But we can see the results at the end, at least for the first season Pochettino finished in the top 5 is already a good development.
Two matches have been played at the start of this season and we have seen that overall only 3 teams have been able to achieve perfect results in the 2 matches they have played.

The win with a narrow score in the match against Crystal palace has made them maintain the opportunity to continue to win in every match.
Manchester City and Arsenal have managed to perform very well in their opening two matches of the season. They won both the matches. Manchester City played against Newcastle and Burnley. The win against Newcastle was very difficult. However, Manchester City won this important match 1-0.
On the other hand, Arsenal team won against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace. They will also win the next match against Fulham. I am looking forward to the Manchester City vs Arsenal match at the beginning of September. If Arsenal win this match I would say that they will be able to fight till the end to win the title this season as well.
Liverpool also went well at the start of this season because they were able to perform well in the previous two matches but 1 draw and 1 win made us sure Liverpool would be able to compete in the top 4 this season. Even though it is still too early to judge their performance, we already have the DNA of the team that made the best changes this season.
Liverpool failed to win against Chelsea in the first match of the season. But their performance was good. The team shared the points in the match. However, in the second match, Liverpool won an excellent 3-1 against Bournemouth. Liverpool looks more organized and stronger this season than last season. I think Liverpool will be in the top four in the points table. But whether they can challenge Manchester City or Arsenal for the title remains to be seen.
Arsenal were only able to win the game with one goal from the penalty spot and they had a lot of trouble finding Fulham's goal in a normal game. So many opportunities were generated by Arsenal in this match but all failed to convert as goals.

Btw against Fulham is next week because this week they face Crystal Palace and indeed the whole match Arsenal struggled in this match because Crystal Palace's defense with its defense made Arsenal's scheme well read. The lack of finishing for Arsenal also made this a bit troublesome but still it was good enough for their 3 points even though it was only through Odegaard's penalty.
Next week Arsenal lost Tomiyasu who got a red card will have a little impact especially with their current performance then this will obviously be a little difficult if they still do the same performance.
~~
Well Trossard didn't play at all yesterday and it's really strange because the player is great and it's a shame Arteta doesn't put him in the lineup. Also liked Rice with his game, he has a great pass, at the level of top players, it seems that with each match he is only gaining momentum.
As usual Edegaard did all well, stable game, a goal from a penalty that brought victory.
It's strange that Arteta didn't put Gabriel in defense, last season he seemed to play almost without substitutions, but nevertheless it worked so far.
Arsenal's front line performance was not that good in this match but their defense should be appreciated, even though they had to play with 10 players in the 67th minute because Takehiro Tomiyasu got a red card but Arsenal were able to maintain their advantage and again won full points this week.
I didn't watch this match, but if I refer to the highlights of the match and at the same time refer to the available statistics. it seems, Arteta did not dare to take the risk of including Trossard to replace Nketiah. because after Takehiro Tomiyasu was given a red card, Arteta withdrew some of his players. Martinelli was withdrawn and replaced by Gabriel Magalhaes, Nketiah was withdrawn and replaced by Jorginho. Xaka was replaced by Kiwior, and Odegaard was replaced by Zinchenko. that means there are system changes that Arteta is making, he seems more inclined to defend the seed.
We can even refer to the statistics in the second half, Palace dominated more control of the game with 61% possession. the loss of one of their defenders because he was rewarded with a red card, made Arteta hold back his players to concentrate more on defense. it's great that even though Tomiyasu was rewarded with a red card, Arsenal's defenders played solid enough to maintain their lead. Next, Arteta should give Torrard a chance because Nketiah is not performing as expected. there is another job for Arteta, to choose other options to replace the absence of two defenders. but fortunately, Arsenal have Zichenco who has recovered and can also rely on Kiwior. in this match, one goal was enough for Arsenal to remain competitive in the top 4 in the second week.
I hope so but his age is affecting his performance. Thiago is old enough to play as a defender, but his experience is still needed by the club. Pochettino needs to make sure chelsea will able to secure full points in upcoming week against luton.
It will be a disaster if he will not able to do that. I would say the previous season is far better than this season.

He is almost 39 years old, but it seems Pochettino still believes in his condition. But perhaps Pochettino should start thinking he might slow down to run with fast attackers. So maybe this muism he is still at Chelsea, because indeed his contract is only until this season. Actually Pochettino has many defenders Levi Alex Disasi, Colwill, Trevoh Chalobah, and Benoit Badiashile. In addition, Pochettino is happy with installing 3 defenders, maybe Pochettino can change to 2 CB and 2 wing back. Against Luton, I think Chelsea are favourites to win.

It was a tough match through out the first half before Arsenal manage to have access to crystal palace goalpost at 53 minutes in the second half to achieved the winning goal from the match. Crystal palace really showed that they are still at home, because they did not allow Arsenal strikers to create positive chance than to scattered their plan to let them know that they are well prepared in this season. I think, Crystal palace has a good defenders in this season because they really made things difficult for Arsenal strikers in the first half, but their manager have to work on their midfielders because that is where the challenges was coming from not to allow their strikers to score a single goal to equalized the goal to share the points.
I just saw the match. Saliba made crucial blocks, Rice made crucial interceptions and runs, Nketiah worked really hard but should’ve scored the second chance he had on goal. Good 3 points but overall, I’m concerned with the performance. They can’t play Brighton, Newcastle, Man City or Liverpool the way they played yesterday and hope to win.
More especially, they can't use that approach & dispense as much energy when UCL football starts. They need to adapt better game management techniques & finish games off to conserve energy.
Arsenal were only able to win the game with one goal from the penalty spot and they had a lot of trouble finding Fulham's goal in a normal game. So many opportunities were generated by Arsenal in this match but all failed to convert as goals.

Well, whatever it is, I hope Mikel Arteta can emphasize things that make his players work harder.
Finally Arteta got a win (on Monday's fixture) even with the red card they still didn't let Crystal Palace get an equalizer, Arsenal need to learn from Palace on how they played by pushing to get goals when they had the advantage (that's when the red card was issued to Tomiyasu), if it was Arsenal that had that advantage they won't have played out their best to get a goal.
The was they played was really unimpressive (before the red card they played poorly, imagine in the first half just 1 shot on target) and Martinelli was hanging on the ball know quite alright that he needs to drop the ball as fast as possible and move on, just like Rice always did when needed, I feel Martinelli is becoming stingy by the moment which will hurt the Arsenal team some day if he continues like that, I prefer Trossard to Martinelli at the moment.

For me Martinelli is one of the pillars in attack for Arsenal and I would prefer him to any other player in the Arsenal team in attack.It can happen that sometimes a certain player,even a great one to have a bad day but that does not mean that he is not fit to play for Arsenal during the long term.I think Arsenal has grown a lot as a team and right now the only thing they need are the three points in every game,it is not important how they get them as long as they continue to get them.Arsenal had not played against strong teams yet while City has done so against Newcastle so the panorama is not clear on how strong Arsenal are,anyway it is a good thing that they keep winning even against small teams as it was these teams who made them lose the title last season.
whether noticed or not, but in my opinion Arsenal performed better last season than at the start of this season.

Happy for Arsenal's win, even though their win was by chance if you ask me, winning by just one goal is always by chance for me because, there is the possiblity that the counterparty team may score to equalize the Match in the last second or minute of the game, and take the game to penalties, and we all know that in penalities, even a big team have a high chance of losing to the small team..
Any ways, also very happy most especially for the fact I won by bet
, I expected Arsenal to win by much more than 1 goal, but all good still
Congratulations to those who have put aside money in betting on the Arsenal vs Crystal Palace match.Any ways, also very happy most especially for the fact I won by bet
, I expected Arsenal to win by much more than 1 goal, but all good stillMy hope Arsenal can get a landslide victory with a score of 2 - 0 or even 3 - 0 but unfortunately Arsenal can only have one goal thanks to Odegaard.
Actually, in this match Crystal Palace had the chance to equalize when Arsenal were rewarded with a red card which was received by Tomiyasu but maybe because Crystal Palace did not have good performance so it was difficult to equalize.
Arsenal have two games with two wins just like the other two clubs who are now in the top ie
Brighton and Manchester City.
Even though a narrow win didn't make Arsenal lose confidence and it seems that Arteta also has another strategy to win playing as a guest, a good start to the season for Arsenal and if they want to win the EPL title this season where they failed last season, at least they can stay are on their winning streak so they can continue to solidify their position in the standings and compete with their rival manchester city. btw I only won $20 on Arsenal betting
I think if Chelsea can't win against Luton Town this weekend, then Pochettino is really under pressure.
Pochettino and Chelsea are under more pressure than they would have loved to be so early on in the season, two matches played and they have scored just two goals, conceded 4, and have only 1 point; that is not the sort of start that the fans would have hoped for. Having said that, Chelsea know that the only option in their next game is a win, and i think the fixture somewhat favors them, they should easily get a win against newly promoted Luton Town on Friday, the game is also in Stamford Bridge, which gives Chelsea more advantage.Chelsea had to overhaul all coaches and several players had to be brought in even though their finances were being disrupted, at least that could raise Chelsea to get back up, of course their first defeat would disrupt the development and mentality of their players, because Chelsea had gone far off the mark when the founder left. and plus some management doesn't seem serious about building the club's growth, I hope that even though this club is already somewhat injured but Chelsea can still and have the opportunity to get up and compete in the Premier League to fight for the title this season..
