So you'd take 4th, finishing behind Liverpool, Arsenal and City? They're capable of winning it or coming 2nd. Next year they will have CL football, will make a huge difference. They have a great chance this year, and should be going for the title.

​@@JamesHussain82 It's premature. We don't have a leader at CB or a world class GK, both essentials to win a title. Top 4 is good enough. We didn't expect that at the start of the season and we're far exceeding expectations

We're not in any title race. The title race normally begins in March, that's when you'll see the teams who can go the distance. Christmas period convolutes the table and disorients perception. We are scoring more goals, with our players, especially Jackson, performing better than their xG, something they didn't do last season. Also, I think the squad has benefitted from Maresca's less physically intense approach. Whatever happens, the aim this season is to win the ECL and get back into the UCL, any other thing is noise and should be avoided.

I think us outperforming our xG has a lot to do with the quality of the chances we create in the box. Under Poch, a lot of our chance creation came from crazy fast paced counters which are easier to miss, where as now we seem a lot more composed and even drilled in the box. This has helped Jackson tremendously imo as you'll notice a lot of his chances come from waiting in the box as opposed to him bombing full speed into the box.

Outperforming our xG doesn't have to do with higher quality chances created because xG already accounts for high quality chances and gives them more value. The best way to "outperform xG" is to only take the worst shots and they all go in.
@barrybarrybannan
@barrybarrybannan Ай бұрын
Outperforming xg is about better finishing, last season we underperformed because our finishing was poor. Now we are converting more and that may be player development or coaching, particularly as person above said regarding players having more composure because they aren’t sprinting all over the place

I think this year is a better chance for Chelsea to win the EPL than next season will be. With Chelsea able to play a fully fresh squad every EPL game is a huge benefit, compare to some teams who are having to play players 2-3 times a week. Next year won’t be like that for Chelsea with CL/Europa league next year, City you have to think will bounce back, so honestly this year would be the best chance for them to win it

On the flip-side, this young squad will have only improved, growing and learning together, so there's a good chance they'll be better man to man next season, AND unlike teams like Villa, with their depth they can probably get away with resting some of their best players depending on strength of opposition from the CL to the league (so maybe you rest some lads for that match against Club Brugge because you have Arsenal on the weekend or play full strength against say a Barcelona knowing you can rest Palmer, Neto, Caicedo etc and bring in a Lavia, Madueke or Joao Felix for that away trip to Ipswich you have coming up). This Chelsea team are only going to improve and they even have some v exciting reinforcements coming in the summer without needing to sign another player. These sporting directors aren't mugs... they're building a team to compete over the next 5-7 years

I mean, I'll consider the idea once we start beating the teams near us like a Liverpool, like a City. We were good against them but we can't finish them off. Even Slot said we were the best team they've faced this season, which is a great compliment for the blues. I would love nothing more than for us to compete against Liverpool and actually take them off the leader position but their pace is blistering and their consistency started early and is going strong. We'll see in the coming months if they and WE can keep it up.

Disagree with Opta's model 73.64 pt's is a little low i believe we will be around the low 80 point mark (not enough to get above Liverpool), the Opta model would have us declining in the 2nd half of the season and i only see us improving over the course of the season not declining.
@andytc4840
@andytc4840 Ай бұрын
Opta uses Bayesian statistics (I think), so it's influenced not only by this season's results but also recent years. The reason it has us at 73.6 is that at the start of the year it had us in the 60s... so 73.6 is a significant upgrade. As we continue to perform well it'll continue to upgrade its forecast and if we drop off it'll downgrade it.

Chelsea are best placed to win the league this year, we have an amazing pool of players , the B side is smashing the Conference League and the first team are rested without injuries and enjoying their football , they are under no pressure. In contrast Liverpool Arsenal and City are breaking their balls in Europe and the league and the stress will so be taking its toll once the injuries and suspension start kicking in. The Chelsea manager is a genius in not applying the pressure of expectation.

It would be absolutely silly of us to expect of them to win the title this season and pile on that unnecessary pressure and expectation on this young squad. We really just want to see our team play well and win the fixture on the day.

To be fair, other than City and Liverpool, Chelsea do have a pedigree of winning it in recent years with Conte and Mourinho. For all of Arsenal's good work over the last 5 five seasons, its still been 20 years since they've last won it. Sure this is a new Chelsea hierarchy without that foundation, however, Maresca's Championship-winning season and tutelage under Pep in City's best ever season should not be sneered at. That experience is invaluable to a budding tactician in Pep's ilk. He knows how long the gruelling struggle and slug the campaign is hence his commitment to two squads, which is another feather in our cap, our squad depth. Maresca's job now is keeping everyone focused and hungry. We just need to show that nuance and savvy to consistently compete with established top 4 contenders and beat the rest.

Still think it’s way too early to call anyone title contenders when 1st place and 8th place are separated by 11 points. The one thing I’m curious about with this current Blues team, we can see how they look when they’re winning n things are going their way, but i want to see how they respond to a game where they suck or just can’t get the job done. Can they keep the loses to a minimum and avoid letting 1 loss turn into a streak? I think so but until it happens it’s all just a guess.

We are not in the title race yet. We are just slightly ahead of schedule. No one would have thought Maresca is able to manage the squad and tactics so well. We thought he might need a season or 2 to get his ideas and playing style implemented. But the team is showing great hunger and quick to pick up Maresca’s style. We know that our team still need a better GK and CB to be up there challenging titles. Slowly, ok maybe not so slowly, but steadily we are taking steps in the right direction. I have my faith with Maresca 500%. Let’s go you bluesssssss KTBFFH!

We’re about to go on an easier run of games and we’ll be much better when the difficult games come again.

What people seem to be forgetting is that Chelsea are only getting better and Marescas systems only just started to come in to play and yield results. The players are finally starting to come together and the chemistry is there. These players will take this season with the intensity and performance right to the final day. We have two full starting 11s to balance European and domestic competitions whereas Liverpool as usual will have a noticeable fall off during afcon with Salah missing as well as injuries and increased fixture burden with European competitions heating up. Chelsea are the long-term competitors here whether it be this season next season or the season after they will win the Premier League before other clubs start to catch up with the new modern model of more players, younger players and rotating teams for different competitions.

I think Chelsea will figure out a rotation that works for next year even in the champions league. It might not be as clear an a and b type team but maybe like splitting the squad into 3 or 4 different lineups where each of the best 11 is in all but one squad and second team guys fill in.

Ask Petrovic to do what Sanchez is asked to do in build up and he will make even more mistakes.

we are in a title race, we can try and shruug it off as much we want but those aren't thing for us to decide but the table and the form of the team decide it. if we don't win we dont but if we win that just mean we outperformed our own expectation for this season simple as that

How aren’t we in the title race? Top scorers in the league 5 points off Liverpool, 1 point above arsenal with a game in hand and an absolute stacked squad

Truly, Chelsea isn't in the title race, I support that analysis even though I do not support how you guys arrived at it. Here are my thoughts on the analysis in this video 1. Bogus analysis if your referential metric is xG. The analysis of the Spurs game you guys missed a huge talking point in the sense that Cole Palmer was a heavy factor in tilting Spurs towards the right-hand side of the pitch. On multiple occasions he had Bissouma opting to mark him even when there was obvious threat on the left, and a great example of this was the third goal for chelsea by Enzo Fernandez, where Cole Palmer drags half the Spurs team to the right, freeing up space for Enzo (lucky to have it fall for him though) and this gravity Spurs players had towards Cole Palmer had a bigger influence in the game than people realize. 2. Enzo Maresca has repeatedly said he is working with just 24 players which I reckon is what other teams work with barring any injuries to the registered players, so your point of "broad squad" is just a repeated rhetoric stemming out of Chelsea's transfer in recent years and is untrue. It is a story repeated so much you guys are starting to believe it. 3. Pulling up the side by side of the minutes played for both competitions to highlight your "broad squad" rhetoric is laughable because other teams have the opportunity to do the same, they just don't have the quality, it's not a case of Chelsea having more players as insinuated, that is incorrect. You should be talking more about the quality of the squad and really good player profile that almost feels like they have a 40-man squad.

Interesting take... one point of clarification, Chelsea qualified for the Europa league by position but lost it due to Man Utd winning the FA cup.

The example at 10:05 really doesn't make sense to me. Most teams will leave a free man somewhere while pressing aggressively, no?. I understand Enzo is free, but there is no way the GK could reasonably find him. Surely, to illustrate the point, Jon could've found better examples?

When it comes to chelsea defensively, ive noticed that no one ever talks about how many goals we’ve actually conceded because it blows the narrative apart. Its always “expected” stats. Why dont you mention that only 2 teams have conceded less goals than us?

They've got Sanchez as a starting keeper. They aint sniffing any trophies. Get a solid GK and a few solid defenders and then they are genuine title challengers
