At least, even though Chelsea managed to score a quick goal in the second minute, but after Wolves managed to score a reply goal and ended the first half with a draw, then I think Chelsea will still fail to win this match. Because indeed, basically Wolves are also not a weak team, so I believe Wolves are able to provide tough resistance for Chelsea and thus, Wolves also have a chance to get points in this match.

But anyway, I also really didn't expect Chelsea to score four goals in the second half, of course it was a surprise and a great victory for Chelsea which of course will increase their confidence for the next matches. Also about Joao Felix, basically Joao Felix is ​​​​not a completely new player in Chelsea because after all, if I'm not mistaken in the 2022/2023 season Joao Felix also played at Chelsea and was then loaned to Barcelona. But this season after Joao Felix returned to Atletico, but Atletico also didn't need him anymore so Chelsea recruited Joao Felix which was of course the right decision.

Wolves are a mediocre team. But they often surprise everyone by performing well against big teams. We have seen this many times in the past. Wolves players also performed well in the first half against Chelsea. Wolves players attacked a lot in the first half. And at the end of the first half, the match was tied at 2-2. But in the second half Madueke and Cole palmer changed the whole scenario of the match. Madueke scored three goals in this match. and Cole Palmer had three assists and a goal.

Chelsea played well in this match. The players were also very confident. I feel the understanding between the players is good enough. If the players are confident then we will see better performance from Chelsea players in the upcoming matches also.

Wolves is not really a strong team, but mostly strong clubs do underestimate them, so at the end, they do end up surprising people in some matches. Wolves won Chelsea in both their home and away matches last season, so I will say Chelsea are just revenging by scoring so many goals in the match. If you say wolves are weak team, then I will say Chelsea is also a weak team for now, because they haven’t been performing well for the past few seasons, but am beginning to enjoy Chelsea style of play, I just hope they will continue with it.

Chelsea still has to work on their defensive line, there are still things that are supposed to be fixed. I am not really satisfied with the Chelsea defense, those goals could have been avoided.

I don't think the Chelsea team is capable of competing for the Premier League title. There is no doubt that Chelsea played very well against Wolves. The Chelsea team won by a big margin of 6-2. But we didn't see Chelsea play well in the first match against Manchester City. Chelsea lost 2-0 in this match. Last season we saw Chelsea win a number of matches by big margins. But Chelsea's overall performance throughout the season was erratic. There is no guarantee that Chelsea's performance will not be erratic this season.

Chelsea team will play at home against Crystal Palace in the next match. Chelsea have more chances to win this match. But I look forward to seeing how Chelsea perform against the big teams. Chelsea face West Ham and Brighton at the end of September. It is difficult for Chelsea to win these two matches.



Joao Felix is ​​only 24 years young player. He is very talented no doubt. Felix's performance with Barcelona was also quite good. However, if the Chelsea coach can use Felix properly, we could see more performances from Joao Felix in the future. If Chelsea can perform consistently well then maybe the team can qualify for the Champions League. However, Chelsea is not yet in a strong position to win the title.

The fact that Manchester United backs to their last season's gameplay. Then look at their passing network, and it has no different with their passmaps last year.



Manchester United played like they have no midfield, this because Bruno’s pushed up into ST. That's why i demand him back to his actual position to help us in our midfield. It's kinda crazy to see United is always centered the ball to the left flank. It makes us looked like a complete mess with no organization in our gameplay.

I don't see all the good complementing given to either Liverpool or Chelsea coach as being early because when one performs well or poor, they need to be talked about so that they can stand to correct themselves or keep on with their excellent performance because it is not easy for a new coach to start coaching a club newly and start winning matches. On that note, there's a proverb that says that if one is praised, one will have the zeal to do more. We don't have to wait for one to go far in whatever they do before we compliment their little positive beginning. Liverpool and Chelsea coach will complemented by the fans of both clubs as they progress with their winning ways as both teams head coach. They will castigated at any time if they perform below expectations, that's life and football for all of us.

The change of coach that happened in Liverpool is not the same as what happened in Chelsea and Manchester United, Liverpool was forced to find a new coach because Jurgen Klopp decided to retire as a coach. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Manchester United changed coaches because they were fired for failing to improve the team's performance. Arne Slot was able to handle Liverpool well, the game shown by the players in the two EPL matches was very satisfying for all parties, especially the Board of Directors who were very worried about the team's performance after Jurgen Klopp left.

Two wins in two games is a good start for Liverpool, Arne Slot needs to build a good relationship with the players so that they are always in their best form. The current condition experienced by Liverpool will increase the competition in the title hunt, Arsenal and Manchester City must be careful with surprises from Liverpool this season.

In this match, Chelsea's performance was truly extraordinary, because winning with a landslide score of 6-2 over Wolves was truly extraordinary. In that match, Cole Palmer truly became a hero for Chelsea, because he was able to score 3 assists and 1 goal in that match. Therefore, I think it is natural that Cole Palmer is called Chelsea's hero in this match. Apart from that, Chelsea striker Madueke also played very sharply and was able to score 3 goals in that match. Maybe what you say is true, if for example Chelsea's performance can continue like this, perhaps competing with Manchester City is not impossible. But even so, to be able to compete with Manchester City, of course Chelsea needs to improve the squad they currently have. Because I see there are still a few gaps in Chelsea's back line. The reason is, conceding two goals in the match against Wolves is clear evidence that Chelsea's defense still needs to be improved.

And talking about Joao Felix, in this match he played quite well. The reason is that he managed to score 1 goal in that match. Apart from that, I see Joao Felix looks very comfortable at Chelsea. Maybe it could also be said that Joao Felix is ​​more comfortable than at Atletico Madrid or Barcelona. Then yes, now Joao Felix can prove that in the right squad he can play very well and can produce his best performance. And for Chelsea's match against Crystal Palace, I don't think there is any need to doubt that Chelsea can definitely win it easily. Because if you look at its current performance and also if you look at the head to head record between Chelsea and Crystal Palace, the result is that Chelsea is very superior with 5 wins.

This excitement currently being ignited at the arnfield stadium the home ground of Liverpool FC and lovely style of play by the players in the team can or could be attributed to the new manager Arn slot. The board members couldn't have made a better choice, in modern football it is very rare for a team to change a coach and yet things don't go wrong, like the case of Chelsea and Manchester united, but in Liverpool's case the story is different, they have two wins from two games, the players are giving their all, they respect the manager as if he had been with them all through and the results keep coming through as well for them.

Chelsea really played very well yesterday and I wasn't looking at the goals they scored but how well they controlled the game and the positioning of some players especially their golden boy Cole Palmer, playing him behind the attacker is the best and if they continue playing in that same position they played yesterday I believe they'll all do well this season, also with the new players Neto and Felix, I believe the attacking force is going to be better than what we have been seeing.
Enzo Maresca is one coach I still don't understand since the beginning of this very campaign, as a coach who's in charge of a big club as Chelsea, what is his major target with all those players? He has come out to say nobody told him to finish at the top 4 or win any titles, does that mean that if he sees a chance of winning the club a title he'll make sure he loses the game? I don't understand that crazy statement, winning a title is the main target of every manager and this man is saying rubbish.
Chelsea fans need to explain all he said because I don't get it, how can he be managing a club and his major target isn't to win any title or finishing in top 4 is just to make the team better. And I ask, if Enzo Maresca sees a chance of winning a title will he make sure he doesn't win it or would he get hold of that opportunity? I can't say this is a mind game but trash coming out from him, he need to set his target straight because if that's what he wants then he shouldn't be a manager, he doesn't have a target or plans for the club to grow.

Yeah Chelsea were impressive in this match, we saw all the players taking part in every line and if they can consistently play like this then Chelsea can be a threat to Manchester City and Arsenal. Indeed, in the first match Chelsea lost against Manchester City but we know their opponent is the strongest team in the Premier League. In the next match Chelsea will face Crystal Palace well, as a home team Chelsea can be relied on and is also on fire so the potential to win is very possible.

By the way, Chelsea new player Joao Felix managed to score the first goal this is a good start for him as a released player, we know Barcelona and Atletico Madrid don't want him so this is the right moment to prove that he is still reliable, one goal in one match is not a bad result it's just that we don't know yet whether he will play as a starter or as a substitute. I think the coach will pay attention to Joao Felix in the next few games.

I dont think you watched the game till the end because if you do you would understand that Brighton did press Manchester United so hard and that is why they won the game. The ball was always at the 18-yard box of Manchester United. They barely equalized and made it 1:1. However if you want to be talking about luck then it should be Manchester United because there goal came as luck.

It is too early to start complementing the new coach. Liverpool won a team that any coach who is in management would win. Even without a coach Liverpool would have won that team on the match day. We should save the complement for the time when we should be expecting him to show his expertise if he doesn't pass the test then he is not to be complemented yet. Same thing goes to Chelsea fans that are praising Enzo Maresca time will tell and they will still be the one to hate on him. Such is life.

Chelsea indeed shamed your skepticism on not giving them a straight win and went for a double chance Chelsea win or draw.
From a prediction mindset, I can understand the pick. Wolves isn’t all that an easy team to win especially, while playing from a home side and Chelsea is not one hell of a reliable team just yet.
However, Chelsea completely destroyed Wolves yesterday with some clear chances created to seal the game in a Wolves 2:6 Chelsea win.

Newcastle however didn’t have a very good game. I expected them to win this one.

Liverpool are holding up just fine to the exit of Klopp.

Newcastle's defense line is indeed a little weak. Because one of the mainstay players in their back line, Fabian Schar, could not play due to receiving a red card in their first match against Southampton. And not only that, actually several of their mainstay defenders are still unable to play at the start of this season because they have not yet recovered from injuries. There are two Newcastle defenders who are currently still recovering from injuries and 1 player received a red card. So Eddie Howe will definitely have a little difficulty in forming a defense line in the Newcastle squad. But they have also acquired several new defenders in the transfer market but still Newcastle has not achieved good stability. It's just that currently they are a little better than last season.

When slot first arrived Liverpool, people had a little expectation of him probably because they already got so used to klopps patterns that imagining a Liverpool without klop felt awkward but no greater joy than now that slot is fit in so well that it appears he was just the perfect replacement for klopp, sustainability and consistency should be next on his priority, since he seems to have been able to get a working strategy for the team already, he should work on staying consistent because his environment is very competitive and only consistency will help him a long way if he must stay ahead enough. Liverpool will most likely be a title contender and their most rivals would be city and Arsenal in my opinion.

I have said that Liverpool showed a very classy game, it is not wrong to choose Arne Slot as a new coach whose quality is quite promising. Beautiful game on the field, without the need for small talk by recruiting players in the transfer market, they can still show extraordinary strength. Mo Salah and Diaz are really hungry for fashion, Arne Slot is very worthy to take over the reins of this club. I am sure Liverpool will destroy Man United in the next match. Will there be another 7-0 tragedy? let's wait

Arne Slot has fit those large Klopp shoes. That is right there coaching genius. Four goals were scored; none were conceded? Thats not just luck, folks. Thats an offensive aiming on all cylinders and a strong defense. The real test comes against the "big boys" like Manchester United (lol). Thats when we'll find out whether this coach is actually the real deal or just a passing fancy.

No big-name signings? No problem. Working with what he has, Slot is doing quite nicely. Should they maintain this, the entire league should pay closer attention. This is about delivering a message rather than only about winning. And believe me; Liverpool's message is clear and loud.

In the statement he gave earlier he said that he already believed in the legacy given by Klopp so there was no need to worry too much about quality because he knew that what Klopp gave was still very good for now.
Even though this is a slightly risky move but we have to give respect to Slot with a squad that is only inherited he can still optimize and even modify a little unusual scheme that Liverpool always does because we can see some changes in the attack sector even with the same players but Slot always gives a different role with a slightly changed formation.

Usually Liverpool are always identical to their 3 strikers but for this season Slot seems to want to change this by placing only 1 striker where the role of Salah and Diaz who previously became winger was slightly lowered but did not change the effectiveness of the attack carried out with the 4-2-3-1 they did because it could make it easier for Slot to rotate players for now.

Slot is making great improvements to Liverpool's squad. It's not only limited in our gameplay.  But our positioning, ball circulation, decision-making, and everything is improving under him. Look at the average position data of Liverpool against Brentford below.



Liverpool's squad looks well-balanced under Slot. I was surprised that Trent played mostly as a number 10 in the game against Brentford. Also, he is now getting even more involved in our build-up. This rarely happens at Jurgen Klopp's era.

The way slot is improving Liverpool's squad totally crazy.

Arne Slot inherited a complete squad, and they don't have any serious injuries concern at the moment. Slot style of play is not too different from from what Liverpool are used to, so it won't be difficult for the players to fit in with the manager's tactics. Anyone that's underating Liverpool this season I think the person is making a big mistake. Liverpool will still finish the league ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham. Sometimes it is not about buying players, it is about making good use of the ones available. Slot has said that the club will only sign players if the need arises, and judging from their performances so far, I think the squad is in good shape.
