I expect to see Pochettino help Chelsea to be on top of the table but that's not going to be easy for them in their current situation that's why we should wait and see how Pochettino is going to rebuild this team because the Chelsea we see right now is completely broken and this will take some time for Pochettino to do some reworks with his team and make them have better performance than we saw in the last season.

I think it is unrealistic for Pochettino to help Chelsea get to the top of the league with just 2 months into the new job; new players and new signings too. Pochettino has alot of tasks and work to put Chelsea in place; determine a starting 11, develop the team rhythm and chemistry before even thinking about a title challenge.
Worst case scenario, i think Pochettino should be able to get Chelsea to fight for an Europa league position because even Champions league football is far fetched (atleast on paper).

Many tasks await Pochettino since starting his new adventure with Chelsea, he needs to build a solid squad with good chemistry between his fellow players. Building a team full of newly-arrived players is not an easy job for Pochettino, he has to do a number of experiments in formations to determine which players are still in the core squad.
Pochettino can use the pre-season to test how strong his team is, he needs to find the right formation to bring Chelsea to the top four.

Since last season PSG was totally unstable. So why coach Pochettino has to do a completely new job if he wants to perform well in the next season. There have been several changes to Chelsea's squad. Pochettino needs to help the players adapt to the team. Also, if the match strategy is not good, I don't expect Chelsea's performance to improve. Pochettino has a new challenge ahead of him with everything. But we are not sure if Pochettino will succeed. With enough support from the Chelsea players, Pochettino is expected to stabilize the Chelsea team.

Newcastle had a brilliant season, the best they have had in a very long time. This is a huge achievement for the club and I hope they can capitalize on this and maintain this current form and performance level for the coming season as they also look to get reinforcements and strengthen their squad

The friendly match between MU vs leeds is happening now. Anyone can watch it here https://www.manutd.com/en/mutv

Manchester United recorded their first pre season win with a two nil victory over Leeds United. Superb performance from the youngsters, from the expression on Erik Ten Hag’s face I can tell he was really impressed with his team’s performance today and will want his team to continue playing in that fashion when the season kicks off. Mason Mount made his debut today though not scoring a goal but his looked good and confident.

It is extremely premature to draw the conclusion that Chelsea are going to start win games; we're yet the opportunity to witness them perform on the pitch, like Manchester United did yesterday. The players are eager to make their club debuts; nevertheless, we should take an additional look at the roster; I don't believe they are currently ready to play games. Mauricio Pochettino has quite a bit of work to complete at Stamford Bridge. He has the ability to either boost or degrade the club's performance, depending on the strategy that he implements.

It's true that it's too early to draw conclusions about what Chelsea will achieve next season because they seem to be a new club after the poor results last season, maybe Pochettino at Chelea will take a long time to repair the damage done there, but we can too see how some managers are able to change their club in a fairly short time, like Unai Emery at Aston Villa even after his presence Aston Villa went unbeaten in several matches and after previously struggling in the middle table he was able to bring Aston Villa to end up being ranked in the European zone, so it is not impossible for Pochettino to do the same with Chelsea so that Chelsea can play in European competition for the 2024-2025 season, moreover they will benefit enough because they only focus on domestic competition so they will not face a busy schedule.

While other teams are busy bringing in new players, Aston Villa has just announced its latest signing, Pau Torres from Villarreal. We know that Pau Torres is a former foster child of the current Aston Villa coach, namely Unai Emery and it seems that Pau Torres wants to follow in the coach's footsteps in the EPL. I think Aston Villa have got a quality defender to return to competing with the top EPL teams next season and considering they will also be playing in the Econference League competition, of course Aston Villa needs new player ammunition to strengthen the depth of its squad. Since last season Aston Villa has shaken up the competition for the top 4 of the standings and I think they will try to do this again later.

Aston villa is going to be a bigger treat more than some of the big 6 in the Premier league. Without wasting much time Emery is recruiting players from the Spanish league to fill in the gap and with Pau Torres getting into the Villa team is going to be a great addition but I don't know how fast he can pick up and get used to English football that's if he can adapt.

Chelsea are really having a great transfer window, selling some of their key players especially those ones who played a key role in winning the UCL and getting enough cash to spend too. It seems Pochettino is trying to give the fans a brown new Chelsea first 11 and it could turn out to be the best decision for the board or should I say the owner to allow the coach to go for any player he wants in the transfer window. While they (Chelsea) shipping out players I feel is going to be a little bit of a problem if they don't get those replacement early enough before the start of the new campaign it might be a bigger problem. Can they even survive or do much better without some of those players?

Perhaps the one that makes the most sense than Mbappe or Osimhen is Dusan Vlahovic and I totally agree with you. I didn't even think about that option and indeed at this time Chelsea are also very interested in being able to sign Dusan Vlahovic this summer. The opportunity to exchange Lukaku with Vlahovic is very possible if Todd Boehly is willing to spend additional money on this transfer. We know Juventus also don't want to let go of their flagship striker for a fee commensurate with a player like Lukaku and therefore if say Lukaku's + €40 million option then it is likely that Juventus will agree to the deal.

It's exciting to think that Vlahovic could start ahead of Mbappe or Osimhen. The possibility of trading Lukaku for Vlahovic is enticing, but only if Boehly is willing to spend more money. But now I'm starting to become nervous. What if Lukaku's preference for Inter Milan causes friction? Could this potentially derail a smooth exchange? Therefore, in my opinion, Chelsea ought to concentrate on fixing these problems instead of spending money on high-clause players like Mbappe and Osimhen

So for next season I don't think Chelsea will establish themselves as competitors in the race for the EPL Trophy. But in the next season it is likely that Chelsea will target the top 4 as their target until the end of the season. Well, like a team that is being rebuilt due to a slump in the last season, it certainly takes time to be able to compete in the title race.For that, I think Pochettino will maximize the best possible opportunities next season to be able to bring Chelsea to a better ranking and if that works they will have a wiser season in the coming seasons to enter in the hunt for the title. For Chelsea they have made a lot of sales in this transfer window and they will likely need time to establish themselves as a more consistent team and the strongest in the EPL.

In any case, Mauricio Pochettino will need some time to build a team that matches his vision of the game, so I do not expect Chelsea to seize the lead from the very beginning and hold it until the end of the season. It is not necessary to have greatly inflated expectations from Chelsea, because other clubs are also strengthening and coaches have been working there for several seasons and therefore they already have a backbone on which to rely.

Celsea should be challenging for the title next season and that's how they can get back the honor of the club. Chelsea isn't known for how they ended last season, they're known for winning. We aren't over expecting them to win the race but they should be in the conversation and be challenging other top clubs.

I don't think Chelsea will be competing for the EPL title next season, they have a lot of ground to cover before they can challenge for the EPL title again, they have a new manager, too many new players that are yet to adapt, and a 'new' hierarchy at the club that's yet to understand how football works (i consider Todd Boehly to be clueless about the beautiful game). Thus, next season Chelsea will be in the race for a top four finish, and if they can add one of the domestic cups to it (either the FA Cup or Carabao cup), then it would be a good first season for Pochettino.

The season is going to be very competitive, with Liverpool and Arsenal making big moves. Tottenham also look like they know what they're doing then there's Newcastle, while Manchester City will keep being Manchester City.
Pochettino will try his best for Chelsea, but u feel his vest would be a Europa League spot.

This is what I like about the EPL. It's not just this season that the EPL league is competitive, but almost every season the EPL league is very competitive. The preparation of all teams this season is very competitive also in terms of player transfers, the big six teams are increasingly strengthening their respective squads and each coach will display excellent tactics and strategies for this season. I can't wait for the EPL league to start soon.

Of course, it is very difficult for Chelsea to be able to compete for the EPL title this season. Moreover, Chelsea is making a lot of player changes by selling several core players and maybe this is one of the best choices for Chelsea at the moment with a new coach. because if you continue to force the ego of star players to get bigger and disturb the balance of the club and tend to fight Pochettino. I think Tood Boehly wants to erase fans' memories of Abramovich. So if later Chelsea won the title, you could say this was the Chelsea era of Tood Bolhy. We can see that the leadership styles of the two are very different.

What Tood Boehly did is good if you look at it from a club's health perspective. Because since changing the owner of Chelsea, the majority of the old players are getting worse. The sale of players from the Abramovich era also erased big egos that might have been uncomfortable at the club. if you are forced to continue, it will not be good for the club and not good for the players' careers either. Only Chelsea's problem, in my opinion, is that they bought young players and still lacked experience, Chelsea should have left players who have a strong mentality to support young players.

Manchester united won Leeds 2nil, with full domination in the game. It was an enjoyable activity to watch both teams remain competitive. Former Manchester United player Daniel James' effort was outstanding, and despite the loss, he deserves some recognition. Manchester United won their encounter against Leeds United. Perhaps Erik Ten Hag is simply putting his young players through their paces to see if they have the footing and confidence to perform on the field. Mason Mount started for United, marking his first appearance for the Red Devils.

All of eyes are going to the mason mount during the match. he has become trending topic in twitter during the game against leeds. His performance is far from the price being paid by manchester united. My guess if mount needs more time to play with manchester united but seeing so many people were also posting the club when mount was shooting the ball and he miss it. It's quite disappointed to see his performance.
He is not really worth more than €60 millions. A lot of complains have been coming to him. I hope mount will be showing better performance in upcoming match.

I hope mount gonna try to open with any criticism that will be coming to him. Mount needs to perform even better than the match against leeds.

There are two players being prioritized for certain areas. One of them is Onana and the other one is Hojlund. Onana deal is soon being completed though as they have been only trying to find a middle way about the transfer fee with Inter. They have been in need of a striker on one hand and they are likely to increase the number of attempts they make on Hojlund transfer.

Hojlund is a really young striker and maybe he might need quite much time to give the expected performance to the Red Devils. But they seem okay with this when we look at their interest in him.

Maybe Chelsea's target this season to finish in the top four has been considered successful, especially if they can get the FA Cup and Carabao Cup maybe this will restore the confidence of the team that performed poorly last season.

That's right.
We must realise that pre-season games are sometimes just a warm-up for some big clubs because there are other things to consider such as giving opportunities to some players who rarely get this time to take precedence over looking at the schemes.
This is one way for the coach to measure how ready the players are after a long holiday.
Don't take friendlies and pre-season tours too seriously because sometimes they can be tricky and an example might be Chelsea and Liverpool in the season that has ended this time.

Pre season matches are exactly like you noted. A warm up for clubs and also to test player capabilities and fitness. Big clubs could also use pre season games to field players who barely see some action during the season and new tactics could be formulated and developed at this stage.
Friendly games are a great way to test player fitness and readiness but I also think it shouldn’t be used to predict or determine whether a club would be successful during that season. One could play very well during the pre season games and end up playing poorly during the entire season.

Harry Kane is a great team player who can improve the midfield of a club when he joins it, but Bayern Munich is considering how long he will stay with them to fit in with their style of play if they should spend 100 million euros on signing him. This is the math Bayern Munich is doing to try to sign Harry Kane for less than 100 million euros.
I believe the reason they are lowering the price is that they don't want Harry Kane to perform below what they had hoped for as a result of changing to a new club or league.

This is a great analysis of Harry Kane style of play. Harry Kane is an elite center forward with an eye for excellent creative passes that can cut open any defense in world football; Harry Kane can also dictate flow of play in attack. Any team signing Harry Kane is getting a goal scorer, a creative player and an all round center forward. At 29; i still believe that 80M is cheap for Harry Kane haha.

I disagree; the pre season games does not give any picture or indication of how the team performance will be when the season starts. Instead; the pre season games is to get the players to up their fitness level; understand the weakness of the team and work on it greatly. The MUFC pre season game against leeds was good. Some academy players did well performance wise. More to expect.

You're correct. Last season, Manchester United had a great preseason, but at the beginning of the Premier League, they flopped woefully for the next two games. Losing four goals both to Brentford and Brighton.
The use of yougins tradition has been going down for a long time, the young players did blend in well with the first team players. The coach will still have decisions to make concerning player's leaving.

They're not even ready for that, it'll take Chelsea couple of two years before they can successfully fight and compete for the the Premier League. It'll sure be a struggle for some players but with time they'll definitely adapt. I hope to see Pochetino successfully winning his first trophy as a manager for Chelsea.
