..so he should probably be absent until the end of the year.
This is bad.
If he has to be absent for that long, Man City should seriously look for ways so that their performance is not much different when de Bruyne is around. ..
I haven't heard about this but what I've read from some sources is that De Bruyne being out for 4 months is possible but I haven't heard if De Bruyne will be out until the end of the season.
4 months later, it is the end of this year, right?
This is also stated in the news that de Bruyne may be absent for about 3-4 months until the end of this year, not the end of this season. This may be changing depending on how his treatment and condition later.
Haha i saw my stupidity and didn't realize that in 4 months we're end of 2023

thanks for correction and reminders buddy.
And yes we're just hoping de bruyne can get back in time and get back to practice because this loss for manchester city even though this isn't too disturbing from the whole point of view because manchester city has some options but still losing de bruyne is a very unfortunate thing.

I think this season will be very different, the Chelsea management have understood how the situation in football is not instantaneous. I'm pretty sure about Pochettino's future and he will definitely do the best job he can to bring change to the London outfit.
Pochettino was brought to Stamford Bridge not given a big burden but he must be able to improve his ranking and be able to qualify for European competition again, unless Chelsea again fails to finish in the top six or is knocked out of the top ten group and that has become a consequence for failing to give hope to Chelsea's management . But rest assured that's not going to happen and Chelsea will be in contention for the top six.
I tend to agree with your opinion instead of expecting Chelsea to fail miserably again this season. Pochettino has experience in the Premier League and that can help Chelsea get into good form sooner or later. Pochettino needs time and hard work to get his players to perform in high spirits in every game, but of course it won't be as instant as some people hope.
Chelsea are expected to compete in the top 6 this season, but Pochettino has a chance to compete in the top 4 if he manages to find a solution to his team's performance problems. Many Chelsea players still lack confidence in a match, so of course that makes the team fail to perform well.
We'll just have to wait and see if what Pochettino will do with their current state will make a difference or if it will remain the same monotony resulting in failure for them.
The hope is clear that Chelsea will rise now but the defeat to West Ham quite heavily some time ago aroused frustration and criticism of Chelsea and it is inevitable because this is a natural response especially Chelsea is currently one of the clubs that will always be highlighted by its development.
