Sure, Chelsea may not have any chance again to win EPL moreover if their performance is not increasing and just like the previous matches.
Their goal right now is to reach at least the top 4 to be qualified for the UCL. They may still have the chance although they must try and struggle very hard to do every match with a victory. But, this may not be easy for Chelsea. Moreover, Chelsea will meet West Ham in the next match, if their performance is still smae, they will be very difficult to win. They need some changes on the squad and also additional talented players on the front side and also back side.

Now if indeed they still need new players then they have to hurry because we know the transfer deadline will close in a few days so indeed when they still feel they need new players then there is no reason to rest now unless they want to keep the current squad on record. they cannot follow the hunt for the championship title.

Although it is still early season, I doubt Chelsea has a chance to win EPL title this season. The current Chelsea squad looks not strong enough, they already got 2 losses, and they are still hard to improve their performance until now. They suffered this situation after Roman Abramovich left Chelsea as the owner. Now, they have some difficulties signing new players with the new owner. This leads Tuchel and the whole players of Chelsea are not confident to face this season. Except, they can sign a new productive CF like Aubameyang, it may change the situation. But it seems not enough to compete for the title.

It's true that Chelsea doesn't deserve to be counted for the title they have many weaknesses
That's the reason why they are still hunting for new players but until today they haven't got it
I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea only competed in the Europa League zone.

Oh my.....
I really surprised by this result of the mathc. I really believe that Chelsea can win from Southampton much more easily. But I forget about what Chelsea this season, so sad to know how this big club is started to fall and fall again. Chelsea, one of the top clubs that is commonly in the top standing, right now, this becomes in the middle ranges of standing withquite bad matche rsults. Many things should be fixed in this club, moroever tehir goal keeper and also needs more tallented striker.

I admit that Southampton's defense played very well against Chelsea, making it difficult for Chelsea players to score goals. Especially in the second
half Southampton managed to frustrate Chelsea's players, several times Chelsea's attack failed. In addition, Chelsea's front line is very problematic,
Chelsea needs additional strikers who can help them score more goals. Chelsea do have to get some new players before the transfer window closes,
especially for the strikers they really need. If we look at Chelsea's performance so far in the Premier League, which is only able to get 7 points
in 5 games. It looks like Chelsea have to forget about this season winning the Premier League trophy, even if Chelsea managed to get into the top 4
it would have been very good for Chelsea.

Very Difficult
With their current condition, it is clear that this is quite a difficult thing to do, especially since their current condition clearly makes them even more difficult for them.
This is another not-so-good result for Chelsea.
They can still compete for the top 4 but to fight for the title it's definitely a tough thing for them to do.

well, in these games today we had very surprising results, as is the case of chelsea who lost, honestly chelsea is not doing well this season, they need to sign good players, last season they were already sick to the point of being at risk of not being in the first 4 places, and even seeing that they weren't doing well last season, they didn't make big changes in the team this season, I don't understand what they're thinking

Fulham 2 - 1 Brighton

 

Fulham got a victory thanks to luck, this is a case to say that sometimes you need to be lucky to win the game, Brighton had no luck in this game, they had more ball power but Lewis Dunk was the hundred of the defeat , but Brighton is still in 4th position, something temporary because I doubt that until the end of the season they will remain in that position

Crystal Palace 1 - 1 Brentford

honestly, this was a very unpredictable game and I'm glad I didn't bet on this game, the two teams only have one win in 5 games, they're bad, so I'm starting to think that we will still see cristal palace fighting to not be relegated

Leeds 1 - 1 Everton

everton is not doing well, they still haven't managed to win at least 1 game and everything will only get worse because the next everton games are against liverpool and arsenal, they are in a situation where they will only lose points and be at the bottom of the table, maybe it is this time they will be relegated, i commented on it 3 months ago when i said everton need to make big changes or this time they will be relegated

Southampton 2 - 1 Chelsea

does anyone here believe chelsea has any chance of winning the premier league this season?

In this period of the season when you play every three days you have to rotate players, you can't say because he didn't play kovacic that's the reason they loss or because he didn't have kante in bench also, the defence is good you can't have azpilicueta, thiago Silva and koulibaily and still complain about bad defence, just that the saith were good in attack today and Adams didn't give the defence breathing space.what Chelsea really needs is a striker.

I'm one of those who didn't expect an impressive start from this team. I understand that the club is still recovering from the shake up brought by the "expulsion" of the previous owner. 2-1-2 is actually not that bad given the situation they are in and I think we'll see better results after a few more games.

As if they don't know this already....everybody who watches the premier league is aware of this fact and I'm pretty sure those players and managers knew this as well even before the season started.

Finally someone that talks about Fulham. If I need a word to describe Fulham, that would be stunning and they are stunning indeed. Most of the times, the newly promoted teams in EPL ended up having pretty much lame result but Fulham has been smashing the league so far. Aside from losing to Arsenal, they are totally much better than some teams in EPL

It's always been preeminent from the transfer seasons that Chelsea was going to have a hard time this season after they were unable to make signings to fill the crucial positions in there team. The result of there failure in the transfer market is what we are witnessing now. It's a good thing they've got just few days to make any urgent and necessary conclusions on deals and improve there team because,the team looks so weak for an EPL competitive team. Even Leeds and Fulham played more better.

I watched the match. Southampton's two goals were impressive. Chelsea's defenders could not put up any resistance. Chelsea was not prepared for conceding two goals. In the second half, Southampton focused on keeping their defense tight. As Chelsea could not attack much in the second half, Southampton easily won 2-1.
This match proved once again that the performance of the Chelsea team is very poor this season. Chelsea players were not able to attack much despite having the ball in their possession more. At the moment, Chelsea is in eighth place in the points table.

I don't know why when you see the promotion team at the start of the season, they always look very good and it's not impossible that they can survive in a tough league at this time.
We can see now that Fulham at the start of this season are still playing quite well even if we look at their 5 games, 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss obviously this is something quite good in my opinion.
But indeed this is just the beginning, they must continue to be consistent in this matter in order to at least be in the middle of the board.

Southampton had a better defense. I was expecting a strong comeback in the second half but the best part of the match was held by Southampton. Most of Chelsea attempts were stopped by Southampton defense. It was a deserve win for Southampton.  

Today's match will be an eye opener to Tuchel and the new Chelsea owner. England football has changed. No team is guaranteed any position again. You shouldn't be surprised to hear that Newcastle has beaten Manchester City. Manchester United won Southampton weekend and today Southampton defeated Chelsea. This is why every game matters. Any club that does not pick up now might not pick up again.

Southampton has always been a threat to Chelsea in the premier league. They either win Chelsea or draw with them.
It is very appalling that Chelsea has lost 2 of their match in their 5 opening games. If Chelsea continues to play like this, they won't be able to get close to the 4th position of the premier league this season.
It's bad that Chelsea players no longer score as they suppose to or dominating their opponents on possession again.

Chelsea losing to Southampton really a bad results for both the club and the manager. Thomas Tuchel needs more centre back in the team and also creative Midfielders in the team. Infact all their players need needs backup especially the Midfield and Frontline. Kai havertz needs a good and sharp replacement, the same thing goes to Kante. Talking about Fulham, their form this season is massive and they are always ready to put any stunt on any club that opposes them. As a matter of fact, Fulham might finish top 6 this season only if they are consistent in winning games.

Fulham comes to Premier league to stay, they are here to compete for Champions league spot, because the way they are playing really showed that they came well prepared, they only lose to Arsenal this season and their striker Mitrovich has continued his form by scoring in almost all their match.
Chelsea on the other hand has lose again for the second time this season, I think right now, Tuchel tactics need to questioned because we can all see that the team lack attacking ability, they really need to improve if not, the season will not go well for them.

Chelsea are not doing well this season. Made a lot of purchases lately, but what is the end result? Played 5 games and only 7 points. Very unworthy of Chelsea. It could be that they now win 10 times in a row, but playing football so close to the transfer deadline is never fun I think. And they don't know yet what will happen to Ziyech. I have the feeling that Chelsea lacks a real goal-gatter up front, like Barcelona has now with Lewandovsky. That young German has too little experience in my view. This could be a very difficult season for Chelsea.
