Well, I'm glad there are those who think the same way where it could be like money laundering because it really doesn't make sense in their main squad they have 43 players and we know that many players will not be used for a full season. Usually for a main team they only have 22 players or less that includes their reserve players but here we see Chelsea there is an indirect oddity.

Todd Boehly is known as a successful businessman but he still lacks experience in this field compared to other club owners and he seems mediocre with the management's attitude of taking some useless players. I hope there will be further investigation for Chelsea because everyone has also started to suspect them.

The number of players will still increase if you look at the latest post from Fabrizio announcing that Chelsea is buying players again. If it continues, Chelsea may get FFP sanctions. This is clearly FIFA job to investigate Chelsea spending. I am worried that the club uncontrolled management will put Chelsea on the verge of a bigger threat. Chelsea fate could be like Barcelona, which at that time blindly recruited many players but ended up with a prolonged financial crisis. Who knows how long Chelsea will take this reckless action, but no matter how many players are brought in, there is no guarantee that their performance will improve.

Actually, the FA Community Shield is not that important for Manchester City and if they lose then there is no loss felt by Manchester City.

You can't really say that the community shield is not important to Manchester City because this is literally the first match of the season so it will be bad if they have a bad start and it will also be bad if a team like Manchester City who have won the premier league for Four consecutive seasons is not able to win the community shield and moreover, the last time they met Manchester United was in the F.A cup finals last season of which Manchester United won them so i don't think they can allow two consecutive win by Manchester United.

Quote from: Hirose UK on August 09, 2024, 08:06:18 PM

Indeed, Ten Hag looks quite optimistic to be able to get win in this match and he looks very enthusiastic in trying to beat Manchester City even though we all know that Manchester United performance can't actually surpass Manchester City.
But there is indeed chance for them to win the match, just like when they were in the FA Cup final where Manchester City didn't seem to play optimally and didn't look like team that was trying to get win because the FA Cup was not the goals for Manchester City.
In match like this for the FA Community Shield I doubt if I have to make Manchester City the favorite, maybe there will be surprise like the match in the FA Cup final.

The community shield may not be that important for the both teams but Eric Ten Haag may not take it seriously as he did last season in the F. A cup finals against Manchester City but however, this is the first game of the season so both teams are expected to have a good start but whatever the outcome of the match today would be, good luck to the Manchester derby teams. I don't think there is anything special about the community shield so I expect a fair play from both teams regardless of who is gonna win at the end of the game today.

Defense is still a weak point that Chelsea must improve and this was seen not only during pre-season but also in the competition that took place last season. Chelsea did not prioritize these positions to be improved and instead they bought several players who were not quite right last season so there were many positions that did not work optimally when they played. Cucurella showed his best abilities in pre-season but he did not control the defensive position himself without the support of other players.

This season Chelsea still has a lot of work to fix this position even though Chelsea may not have much time left, but overall Chelsea still has the opportunity to maximize their defensive position before starting their first match in this new season. I also quite regret Chelsea's condition last season which could not make significant improvements in their own team and it is very much hoped that this season Chelsea can be better through their revival in the Premier League.

Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund are out due to injury.

Some important players won't be playing tonight, so as far as Erik Ten Hag is concerned, he will probably give his best against Manchester City and I don't think they can beat them again for the second time so this time the result will be different.

Looking at the odds in the bookies' market, the 1.59 that Manchester City have and the 5.10 that Manchester United have is clearly not the favorite.

The betting exchange is too fond of Manchester City and I think that's reasonable because if you look at the overall development of these two teams, Manchester City is still far superior to Manchester United, but you also have to know that this is a prestigious Derby match so anything is possible in a match that is played with high tension

I think Rasmus Hojlund's injury will have a big impact on the Man United team and indeed if you look at the overall Man United team's bad luck has continued since last season, so many of their main players are injured so that is always a problem for Ten Hag making it difficult for him to develop this team.

Basically Arsenal became one of the teams that had a high transfer value and thus, it was proven at least in the last two seasons that Arsenal managed to compete for trophies in the Premier League. After all, if for example Arsenal were unable to do that, then Arteta should have been fired. But yes,because so far Arteta has still managed to make Arsenal have a good performance and although there is no trophy obtained by Arsenal, but at least there will still be a chance for Arsenal to get the best results next season maybe with a trophy too.

But about the big win Arsenal got against Bayer Leverkusen, I personally don't consider it a good or impressive result because after all, they only play in friendly matches that cannot be used as a reference. After all, if you compare the victory against Bayer Leverkusen,then of course Atalanta is still the best, because Atalanta managed to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, unlike Arsenal who only won in a friendly match. lol

But even though it was only a pre-season match, I think it's natural that we were all impressed by the game Arsenal displayed in this friendly match. In the first half Arsenal really played very well. They managed to take advantage of opportunities well enough so that they managed to get 3 goals in the first half. Arteta has indeed succeeded in building the Arsenal squad to become stronger every season. And yes, that's why Arteta is very trusted there and in fact I'm sure we all here also really appreciate Arteta who has succeeded in making Arsenal always compete in the race for the title. I think this season Arsenal will probably try to get their hands on the trophy. Because I think they deserve it.

Arsenal are strengthening their squad ahead of the season. These new additions would require adjustment to a new league, and are here to replace aging or injured players who have enjoyed knowledge of the league.
While Manchester City don't have to change last season's squad much except for KDB and where injury forced them. They have time to integrate their new additions.

And also, why do you think that Arsenal will win the league if Manchester City had one of their fewest total points tally last season & Arsenal couldn't usurp them? I predicted Arsenal as second but again I wouldn't be surprised of Liverpool overtakes them as 2nd & there's ample evidence/logic to that.

I think Arteta will have to move differently this season, if he wants to win the league. Arteta needs to make decisions quicker. It takes him like 3-4 games before he arrests a situation.

Manchester City will have periods in the season where they will drop points, Arsenal should be capitalizing on every single slip up. That’s the only way.

I agree with you. Although it is not a prestigious trophy, I would say it is very important. Both teams will definitely want to win this match. This can be considered as the first match of the season. The Premier League is about to start next week. For this reason, both Manchester City and Manchester United will want to increase the confidence of the players by winning this match.

Manchester United beat City in the FA Cup final to win the title. We were all surprised by the result of this match. Manchester United will certainly be looking for a similar result.

But we don't see good performance from Manchester United players in friendly matches. Their match strategy was poor as was the bonding between the players. For these reasons I have decided to bet on Manchester City to win. I don't think the City players will make any mistakes in this match. City will start the season with a win in this match.

This trophy is important for both teams, City will want to prove that the defeat in the Cup final was an accident, and for Manchester United it is important to gain confidence at the beginning of the season, although if we evaluate the current state of the teams, I would say that Manchester United has much more problems, in particular due to injuries.

City are my favorites in this match, and the odds of 1.66 also confirm this. This will be the official start of the new season and starting it with winning a new trophy in my opinion would be a great start. So I expect City to win and I also expect City to score at least two goals, Manchester United have problems with defense, and they have not solved the problem with the goalkeeper, Onana often makes a lot of mistakes, I think City will take advantage of this.

How much do you believe in the idea that the Community Shield is not that important for Man City?
The Community Shield is not a big competition but winning the opening match of the season gives the Man City players confidence and gives them a great spirit and will definitely get a good record this season.

I agree with you. Although the Community Shield is not a prestigious trophy, there will still be motivation to get it. By winning the trophy, I think it will increase the players' confidence and will build a champion mentality to start the season well.

There is nothing wrong with Arteta's tactics, nor is anything inherently wrong with the team. Arsenal have just one problem, and that is Manchester City, the serial winners. Look at Arsenal's stats last season, it was unbelievable, but if you want to take the title from City you have to be perfect, and that might be asking too much from Arsenal.

Pep is out of this world, his hunger to continue pushing his team is unprecedented, Arsenal are edging closer to win the league every season, they get better after every season and learn new lessons, if they are "perfect" this season, then they will be champions after a very long time.

I don't think so. This Arsenal team lacked the character, the mentality to finish what they started. Place a club like Manchester United or Liverpool were Arsenal was last season and they wouldn't lose that game to Aston Villa. So you want to put the Aston Villa lose on who now? Pep Guardiola? That's laughable! I know quite well that Josep Pep Guardiola is good but Mikel Arteta should have done better with his squad selection during that game.

This season kicks off in the next six days, yes? I'm still rooting for gunners to win it because Liverpool and Manchester United are not even close to winning shiit.

With a new defender added to Arsenal squad, I'm expecting then to concede less number of goals than they did last season. They don't need to be perfect, they just need to bloody fight for themselves and be consistent. I still believe in my heart, gunners can win it.

One of the reasons why Arsenal didn’t win the league last season was because of the mentality they had, going to Manchester city ground to play for a draw. The mentality they took to Manchester city drowned them. They had the chance to kill the game but they didn’t. They ended up celebrating the draw while Manchester city was disappointed they didn’t beat them.

I think now they have gotten the players they needed, what they need now is the mentality. That mentality is what they need. They
need to go to games with the expectation to win and not just by hope.

And also they’re still going to make defensive errors this season even if the new defender Calafiori turns out to be a hit (because it's a given, defensive errors didn't stop Manchester City from winning the league) and they will still get the short end of the stick if they’re not clinical upfront.

If we can be observant enough, Chelsea conceded enough goals from their central back and right back which indicates the incompetence of those players handling those positions. There was lack of communication between them at that defense especially when Thiago wasn't featured in the match, mistakes upon mistakes with same thing happening during this preseason. The one defender who has been top notch the whole season has been Cucurella and they owe him a lot because he delivered on his own part.

Chelsea should work with the defenders they have now and forget buying more, let them build the connection/communication among themselves instead of adding and then lack level of commitment, loosing the ball at critical points will only send the team down the table.

I agree with you. Chelsea have serious problems in their defense. I am confused why Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers even though currently there seems to be around 8 goalkeepers in the Chelsea squad. But it seems true what X-ray said, Chelsea increase the number of goalkeepers not only to find the best and strengthen their defense, but to do some business and get profit from the player's price.

The coach must try to build good cooperation with the team and they must be able to communicate with each other. Next season the competition will be even tighter as almost most clubs have prepared the strength to compete for the title. If Chelsea returns to maximizing its existing strengths, it is feared that they will not be able to compete.

For the discussion of the match I will answer from a bettor's perspective and I will say that maybe in the FA Cup at that time Man City did not really chase the title but I believe in this match Man City are still the favorites and will win today's match.
We'll see which statement comes true and for me there will be no surprises.

Even though the FA Community Shield is not Manchester City's target, Pep Guardiola has the ambition to take revenge against Manchester United when they were defeated in the FA Cup last season. I believe both team have huge ambition for winning their first trophy in this season on The FA Community Shield and make their team performance keep confidence for Premier League matches.
Manchester United on difficult position few days left before facing Manchester City on FA Community Shield after leaving by several important players due injured, new signing Leny Yoro will absent and Marcus Rashford will miss in this match until Rasmus Højlund have to be out from Manchester United squad few later with injury problem.

Considering Manchester United recently squad, I doubt they can repeat success for defeating Manchester City on FA Community Shield match, I think Manchester City indeed not have huge ambition for the first trophy in this season seems favorable for defeating Manchester United for the first match in this season.

In terms of prestige it doesn't carry much weight, but it's still a title + a derby + City are certainly pissed off that United beat them at the end of last season. I think both clubs will have enough motivation to not consider this game random, which means the favorite should win. The fact that on paper City is much stronger than United seems indisputable to me.

Manchester United is getting ready for the match against Manchester City in the Community Shield. Ten Hag started talking about the Community Shield and he said, they will win the game against Manchester City and it seems Manchester United has hope for beating Manchester City. However, some players are not in good form in Manchester City like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Maguire. That's why there is a chance for these players to be absent in the game they have against Mcnashyter City in the Community Shield.

Actually, the FA Community Shield is not that important for Manchester City and if they lose then there is no loss felt by Manchester City.

Chelsea transfer 20 million euros, add seventh goalkeeper to goalkeeping guild'

Chelsea are beginning to make me look like an not ready for this season, I will say they really make use of this transfer window more than any other English team, I am beginning to afraid for them if they didn't make any positive results this season

Honestly I'm still wondering why is Chelsea putting in so much effort on their keepers, they are not going to have only keepers play the game on the pitch for them and they may not even get to use all of the keepers so it's really a thing of concern why the much investment in goal keepers this season, it makes them appear like they have got almost not enough plans that is supposed to get them the much they will be expecting from the new season expect they are looking forward to recruiting a host of keepers who will be sold out later.

Did I hear you say 7th goalie?
Are you for real?
What for?
Do goalies even get injured, what the big number of them?
Maybe Conference league has difficulty in keeping, let's believe it's what they are guarding against Grin

It's real. I can't believe it when this news appears. But, after checking, it seems Chelsea does flip for profit strategy. They're trying to recruit as many players as they can, then develop them to flip it for profit.

I am feeling curious to see how Chelsea will make money from all these goalkeepers. Chelsea bought many of them for 20M each. If they wish to flip them for a higher price, and the only problem is that you need at least one of them to become ballers. Which is not a given at all.

A risky gamble.

Until now I am still thinking about the reason why Chelsea continues to look for a goalkeeper and I had thought that Chelsea most likely really wanted to build a strong defense this season. But if that's the case, Chelsea last season was actually not a problem about bad defense but a slightly weak attack line since the beginning of the season even though at the end of the season Pochettino managed to bring Chelsea up to the top 6 but this season should not need to spend too much just on defense.
A little strange but I'm sure everything Chelsea is doing right now must have something planned that we don't know yet but for now the right reason is just to strengthen and prepare a defense that is ready in every competition that will be pursued this season.

Yes, it is overwhelming that Chelsea has spent up to 161 million pounds just to recruit goalkeepers since the summer transfer market of 2018 until now.
Coach Enzo Maresca currently has 7 goalkeepers in the first team, including 3 official goalkeepers from last season. Now, with the addition of Mike Penders, Chelsea's goalkeeper count has increased to eight. No European giant has spent more than Chelsea in the current transfer window. Since the summer 2024 window opened. New coach Enzo Maresca is facing a squad that is as dense as ever in the club's history. No matter how hard Maresca tries to rotate, it is difficult to manage and give playing opportunities to all of his students. Wasting the salary fund, Chelsea's dressing room also has the potential to cause discontent.

Chelsea will need to streamline their squad and bring in the positions Maresca is looking for, such as a new centec-forward. If you look at Broja's performance in the win over Club America, Maresca will be gritting his teeth. He cannot hope to win the title with such rotten strikers.

Honestly I'm still wondering why is Chelsea putting in so much effort on their keepers, they are not going to have only keepers play the game on the pitch for them and they may not even get to use all of the keepers so it's really a thing of concern why the much investment in goal keepers this season, it makes them appear like they have got almost not enough plans that is supposed to get them the much they will be expecting from the new season expect they are looking forward to recruiting a host of keepers who will be sold out later.

Until now I am still thinking about the reason why Chelsea continues to look for a goalkeeper and I had thought that Chelsea most likely really wanted to build a strong defense this season. But if that's the case, Chelsea last season was actually not a problem about bad defense but a slightly weak attack line since the beginning of the season even though at the end of the season Pochettino managed to bring Chelsea up to the top 6 but this season should not need to spend too much just on defense.
A little strange but I'm sure everything Chelsea is doing right now must have something planned that we don't know yet but for now the right reason is just to strengthen and prepare a defense that is ready in every competition that will be pursued this season.

If we can be observant enough, Chelsea conceded enough goals from their central back and right back which indicates the incompetence of those players handling those positions. There was lack of communication between them at that defense especially when Thiago wasn't featured in the match, mistakes upon mistakes with same thing happening during this preseason. The one defender who has been top notch the whole season has been Cucurella and they owe him a lot because he delivered on his own part.

Chelsea should work with the defenders they have now and forget buying more, let them build the connection/communication among themselves instead of adding and then lack level of commitment, loosing the ball at critical points will only send the team down the table.
