Chelsea, kausiennakko 2023-2024
The 2022-2023 Premier League season was one Chelsea fans would rather forget. For a club of Chelsea's stature, finishing 12th in the Premier League was nothing short of a disaster. Their ESBC Power AI metrics, which provide insights into team performance and potential, mirrored their league position, indicating that the team's struggles were consistent throughout the campaign.
The managerial merry-go-round was in full swing at Stamford Bridge. Tomas Tuchel, who had previously enjoyed success with the club, was dismissed early in the season. His replacement, Graham Potter, also couldn't turn the tide and suffered the same fate. Club legend Frank Lampard took the reins towards the end of the season, but even he couldn't stem the tide, with the team producing a series of lackluster performances under his guidance.
The summer has seen a whirlwind of activity at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino, known for his tactical acumen and ability to develop young players, has been appointed as the new manager. However, he faces a daunting task. A significant portion of the squad has departed, with key players like Havertz, Mount, Kovacic, Koulibaly, Pulisic, Mendy, Loftus-Cheek, Ampadu, Kante, Azpilicueta, Aubameyang, and Fofana all leaving the club.
In their place, Chelsea have brought in a mix of experienced and young talents. Nkunku, Diasi, Jackson, Ugochukwu, Sanchez, and Angelo have all been signed, and they will be expected to hit the ground running.
From an analytical perspective, the upcoming season is challenging to predict for Chelsea. The sheer number of personnel changes means that the team will need time to gel. Much will depend on how quickly Pochettino can instill his philosophy and get this almost entirely new team to play cohesively.
In summary, after a tumultuous 2022-2023 season, Chelsea are at a crossroads. The club has undergone significant changes, both in terms of management and playing personnel. The upcoming season will be a test of Pochettino's managerial skills and the ability of the new signings to adapt to the demands of the Premier League. While it's hard to predict where Chelsea will finish, fans will be hoping for a significant improvement on last season's showing.
