Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[joebrook]

Michael Emenalo one of Roman Abramovich trusted friends has stepped down from his position of Technical director of the club a position he has held for the last ten years, rumors circulating suggests that he is resigning due to conflicts between Antonio Conte and the hierarchy of the team. He is set to join PSG after his departure from the club.

This just came in. Slaven Bilic has been sacked by West Ham after the horrible loss against Liverpool last Saturday. Leaving the club are Bilic's coaching assistants. They are currently looking at David Moyes as the new candidate for the managerial position.

Even though he has been a great manager, I think his sacking is rightly justified because they have been playing very badly off late, Moyes is rather an even worse replacement but since there is really no other alternative i think he will be given the job.

Cant believe they are giving the job to moyes. Did they see the job he did at united sunderland and in spain? seriously would think even roy hodson would be a better replacement than moyes.

 That's what I was thinking too. Surely there are a lot of good canditates to replace Bilic. Heck, they could even get Ancelotti if they have the money for him. And Carlo Ancelotti is already a proven winner in the Prem too.

Ancelotti is a perfectly decent pick but in a potential relegation dog fight now they need to get back to basics and bring in big sam. Hes done it before and would do it again, the guy knows how to win ugly.

Rumors said that David Moyes is the next manager of West Ham. I don't think that Ancelotti would agree if they ever give him an offer. He is a coach that wants the top clubs to compete for the titles and not for maintain. There are lots of options like Claudio Ranieri. He is a great coach and know the premier better than any one else. We all saw what he did with Leicester City so West Ham board should think twice before hiring Moyes.

But is  Claudio Ranieri available to start coaching another team? I thought after he got sacked his coaching career came to an end and besides teams such as westham play to stay in the premier league and both managers could succeed in keeping the teams in the EPL.

Ranieri is the manager who have plenty of experience and during his career he have several good achievement such as EPL trophy with leicester City and as far as i remember he still the manager of FC Nantes and still struggling to lifted Nantes performance at france league and untill now he hasn't any plan return to EPL and being the manager one of the EPL teams

He is actually doing a pretty good job at Nantes and though he will fancy a return to the EPL, I don't think he will be that ungrateful to the people of Nantes who gave him a job where is currently doing very well there.

Everton held on to earn their first win under caretaker boss David Unsworth as Watford threw away a two-goal lead and Tom Cleverley missed an injury-time penalty for the visitors.

Even though they won the game, Everton didn't deserve to win at all, It was rather Watford who threw it away and when they had the chance to claim a point from the spot kick, Cleverly threw it away, no wonder he was a flop at Manchester United.

In this match everton was not good enough to win this match but luck with them and they have victory which can change look of this team because some time one win can change all your season if they are going to be positive then we can hope this could be very good win for them as now they are out of danger zone

Chelsea got a well-deserved victory against Manchester United today, although the margin would have been slimmer than they preferred. Conte was really animated through out the match, and this victory clearly meant a lot to him. Now Chelsea are just a point behind Manchester United.

chelsea is back, after lost with defeat much goal from AS roma
but chelsea this season very dificult to win in premiere league, manchester city is very strong defence and attack is same, goal keeper and defense manchester city is very good
city this season unstopable to win in premiere league

Still it is very long to go for this season to finish and i think their will be lot of turn in the table , man city is going good but cannot say when the will also give upset in their match. Chelsea took a good benefit of home ground and won the match. This victory will give some moral boost to chelsea team

But does the recent win against Manchester United, really indicates some sort of a Chelsea's comeback? They seem very inconsistent this season. There are games where they struggle with basic football tasks, and others where they can easily win with few goals. The funny thing is that, they still hang around top of the table. Manchester City has a greater advantage right now over other teams, however it would be very funny if Chelsea managed to win in with that weak form, actually non-existant defence and rather ugly style. And they have already played against top teams, while Manchester United for example is yet to see how it's to play against better competitors.

It was rather Jose Mourinho who was the reason why Manchester United lost the game, his method of approaching every game defensively though it works some of the time doesn't work all the time in every circumstances.  Manchester United played poorly but doesn't mean that Chelsea are back in form.

Although Chelsea's victory at the time was not the result of their best game performance, at least Chelsea had found a suitable strategy for them to face the next matches to improve their position in the Premier League standings as their commitment to retain the EPL title still has a chance big and for that they should be able to compete with teams that are also targeting a similar thing.

Chelsea have been using this strategy for a while now and it doesn't seem to be working,had Jose Mourinho been brave enough to play them head on, the result might have been different as it was shown when he switched to the offensive when they conceded, they almost scored.

very bad news for West Ham fans after West Ham Board announcing that David Moyes has joined the team to succeeded Slaven Bilic as the new manager. all i can think is this is a disaster and i now favore them to hit rock bottom now because there is good signs from palace to make recovery while Everton is Everton any time they could make a good comeback so West Ham will be the one to sit at bottom of table with Moyes , he may have been rrelegated only once in 13 seasons in EPL but he is ready to go down again after Sunderland , they should have gone with relegation saver specialist Sam Allardyce also he have been a West Ham manager between 2011/2015

Sunderland was on its way down, Moyes or no Moyes.  I actually think he's a good long term choice for Westham if they intend to become a consistent midtable club like what he did for Everton.

It's better than staying with Bilic, that's for sure.

[tomahawk9]

So, David Moyes is the new West Ham manager, and i believe this is an "ok" choice, although I don't know why a mid table Premier League team wouldn't want to appoint someone with a better reputation? certainly money isn't the issue. I've read Everyone seems to forget whay he did in Everton, he took a mediocre team and made it a competitive squad for more than 10 years in a row.

I now the guy has a terrible reputation and for good reasons (Man, United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland) and I understand why West Ham fans might feel sceptical but I wouldn't write him off yet. He won't have the same pressure he suffered in Manchester United, and I believe West Ham squad is better than Sunderland's when he was the manager there. I think if the fans give him some time to adapt and leeway to build his side then I think David Moyes will probably defy expectations.

Next few games will be interesting: away vs Crystal Palace, home vs Atalanta, away vs Southhampton.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

I deeply regret this time that manchester united has lost many points in several games. Now the gap between manchester united with manchester city is 8 points. This is quite a lot when the new game runs at the beginning of the season. Maybe in the future manchester united should be better in taking advantage of opportunities, I was also quite surprised by what can be achieved by manchester city. now this Gap point between all teams is still arguably has a chance so every big team to date still have the opportunity to be champion at the end of the season. We are still waiting for the various surprises that happened this season and I still predict that the duo manchester is the strongest candidate this season.

Having a career that is not good but not bad also when in Everton, practically his career smoothly when at Everton. But all changed after he moved to Manchester United. His career moved to Spain and then returned to England but his career getting worse. Now West Ham gambled by firing Bilic and replacing him with David Moyes. Will it be better, or worse?

[buwaytress]

Cant believe they are giving the job to moyes. Did they see the job he did at united sunderland and in spain? seriously would think even roy hodson would be a better replacement than moyes.

Well lets wait until its confirmed but it couldn't been worse than that, Moyes has fakllen from grace and i don't think he would do anything better but lets wait and see what unfolds in the coming days. Maybe a foreign coach will be better.

i favore seeing Moyes back at Everton they have been struggling the most this season and with the 11 seasons he spent with them would make him as number 1 candidate as he is experinced with most of the players and club. and for West Ham i would prefer to see Alan Padrew . and i think what was the thing that accelerated the sack more then the obvious defeats is that Bilic refeused to get Renato Sanches from Bayern and Grzegorz Krychowiak  from PSG he went to West Brom on loan and Sanches to Swensea and that didn't make fans happy and now he is gone but we should expect from the Hammers to announce the  name of the new manager in the upcoming days

Moyes is a solid coach, but I suppose there is some truth to accusations that he is a fighting manager built for a fighting club. I think he drew as much energy from Everton as they did from him - just look at the products of his golden boys... Lescott (who's now into crypto by the way!), Rooney, Cahill, Jagielka, Pienaar, even Fellaini (heh heh). Fighting underdogs, great strength, seldom silky, often brawling.

Now you put him into teams that are used to winning easy, used to seeing opponents roll over (cough, Utd) then he gets lost. He is a guy with an instinct to survive, not, unfortunately, be champions. So yeah, West Ham, sadly need his calibre now. Everton need to move on from Moyes so they can be the second Merseyside team to fight for trophies.

When he was at Everton he built his own team and he did it for more than five years his long stay at Everton immensely contributed to his success over there and one cannot deny that he move to Manchester United was too big for him especially when you are going to replace someone like Sir Alex Ferguson, damn even Jose Mourinho is finding it very hard to do that and he is one of the best managers of the decade.

Manchester City have built team already compared to Manchester United and that's the reason why they are going to win the league, I think Jose Mourinho and his team are going to have to settle for second place and even that is being optimistic at the moment, but am sure when Ibrahimovic and Pogba are back in the squad they were start functioning properly once again.

true he may had good seasons with the toffees but it took him time to build a team that can be in the rank of 10 best in England but with West Ham situation it isn't the greatest thing to do Moyes is not a man who can work under pressure and the pressure from relegation and angry fans at start of his campaign wouldn't help also Surely the Board of Hammers club could have gotten a more suitable man for the job then Moyes and it is gonna be interesting couple first week for him I'm sure if he failed against Watford fans will start protesting against him from day one and from the first 6 league games if he managed to get more then one win That would have been a good day for him.

With Moyes, the WestHam will be saved safely.
The West Ham has great players (Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Ayew, Kouyate, Lanzini, Arnautovic, Chicarito) and with a good coach like Moyes, I'm sure this year will be saved and next year will be in the top 10 places.

Allardyce will almost certainly be the new coach of Everton, and as his second there will be Shakespeare (just fired from Leicester).
Even Everton with this Coach will easily save.
