Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[GatotKaca]

Very true, luckly there is an international break, so no match on Premier League for the next 2 weeks and Liverpool next match also against Man United, what a good timing.

Absolutely, Liverpool really benefited from this international break. is this a sign that Liverpool will win this season lol. I know, talking who will be the champion at the beginning of the season is too excessive. but the luck that Liverpool got from the defeat of Manchester City against Wolves makes Liverpool fans very optimistic this season

Thinking of a champion at the beginning like this is no exaggeration. That is a natural thing, all the other team supporters also really hope that their team will be champions. I personally am even very optimistic that Liverpool will be the champions of this season, after Manchester city was really surprised by the victory of Wolves.

yes it's very predictable, this season seems to belong to 2 teams. i.e. liverpool or manchester city. these two teams will dominate until the end of the season.

Though a Manchester United fan,  I am actually rooting for Liverpool to win the trophy this time around, Manchester United seems to be the only team to have won the trophy three times in a row a feat that no other team have been able to achieve but if Liverpool should slip up again then they don't deserve a chance to win it for another 20 years.

oh come on! if when the transfer window is opened and Manchester United doesn't improve their squad I'm not sure they will make it into the top 4 leagues this season. all in the hands of Ed woodward

Such a good timing though lol. Nah it's not that deep, this season is still long long way to go but Liverpool is on a good track right now. On the other hand, Man City has been losing 2 times in the last 4 matches. I'm curious to Man United, 12th position right now, is this the worst Man United so far?

Everything is currently owned by Liverpool. they have a good game and also they have good luck.
this reminds me like manchester united when david moyes become their manager lol. Steve Bruce has broken the record of never winning when facing Manchester United, in the competition yesterday he managed to win.

Would you fix your quotes, please? Stop requoting if that's not necessary.

They've become worse since Mourinho left. It looks like the dressing room is not that good either. I expect them to go through this phase of uncertainty and the loss of leadership for several years if they can't find suitable players or managers to fulfill the role. Their fans need some patience and stop screwing up the stock price, or United will sink further.

Mourinho give them 3 thropy

If I am not mistaken, United last won is 2012-2013 season they were still managed by Sir Alex after that their best result is 2017-2018 second ranked at the end of season.
Looking at the current conditions, I doubt they can be in the top 5 unless they make massive changes. Draw and their losses more than the win was very disappointing.

It is not necessary to blame the team manager, One of the main problems contributing to the team's collapse is the lack of harmony between the players. This happens because some players are not interested in making the addition for the team, i think MUD needs To correct the mentality of players who are not interested in the performance of duty.

Nope, I did not blame Ferguson. I was complimenting him and his achievements when we was coaching Man Utd. Those old days were golden days for Utd.

Utd has some very good player and you are very correct there. There are not much understanding between the players. Defiantly some lacks in coaching.

I think the players have fully released their abilities and you seem to know that. There are no players played by coaches just to run around with the ball. It's just that each player has a different mentality, and it's very difficult to place players of the same quality in one team.
Players will be greatly influenced by the coach, and is it appropriate to blame the coach when experiencing conditions like this?

MU is not in the best performance, and I think this condition must be changed before they sink to the bottom of the standings.

I don't think that Mourinho is the problem.
He tried to build something strong in Manchester United but he didn't make it (I think he was the one who signed Pogba to the club) a decent signing for that period of time. I won't blame Mourinho because Pogba and some other players became lazy and they don't work hard to become better players....

IMHO Mourinho is an honest coach about his squads. He once said that bringing Manchester United finish in a second place in the premier league when he trained with a less qualified squad was the best achievement. besides the pros and cons of the mourinho strategy game which in my opinion is boring, mourinho is a good leader who speaks as is. it's not like Ole is constantly defending his squad even though the players aren't playing well

Mo Salah got injured in the last match vs Leicester. Seems it is nothing too serious but he will be out for at least 10-15 days. Good thing for Liverpool is that there is now an International break and he has some more time to recover. I can't remember the name of the Leicester player but it was a very dangerous tackle that infuriated everyone. 

I think he's knock just before the International break is actually a blessing in disguise for Liverpool, if it's a minor one. He'd get to rest properly after several consecutive matches. And moreover Liverpool also have series of tough fixtures lined up for just after break, they can't afford to have their top performers fatigued.

player rotation must be done to give players time to play too often, if forced it will not be good because of the potential for injury. All professional clubs must do something like this. Liverpool also play in the UCL competition and this certainly makes their players feel tired.

Hamza Choudhry, dirty bastard. Luckily for Liverpool it wasn’t a really bad injury because that guy intended to hurt Salah, it would have been catastrophic for their season if he had got a bad injury.

I also think that Liverpool will be Champions this year and not commit the same error twice in a row.Last year they were also leading up to six points ahead but they screwed up at some point so the lost the Championship.
I think they will do all they can to not repeat the same during this year.

I would lean on the side of according adulation to the brilliance of Man City rather than the word of Liverpool, if it could be called that. Liverpool maintained consistency for almost the whole of last season, and lost only once. Man City are not replicating their exploits of last season, which Liverpool, are playing at the same level, and look like the much better team.

It’ll be close, Liverpool lead by 8 points but that doesn’t mean too much this early in the season. Man City have serious problems in defence at the moment, Laporte suffered a bad injury & Kompany left & wasn’t replaced. If they don’t sort out the defence it doesn’t matter how good their attack, they’ll be cut adrift by Xmas. They need to sort the defence ASAP.

Reportedly Man City is eyeing a number of defenders after failing to get Harry Maguire, Man City is now trying to bring Caglar Soyuncu from Leicester City
Slow negotiations brought losses to Man City at the start of the season

This is very serious problem for them as they are near to losing ground now some rumours they are in talks about this and hopefully they will solve this all before they are down and out Liverpool is good but they was on same verge last year also and lost ground in last few matches now they still need to do some more effort.

That's what happened in the match when Manchester city against Wolves. If you look at the match, Man City as usual always attack from the first round and at that time they were not lucky at all. Even though Wolves scored 2 of his goals at the end of the second half and that was from a counterattack. And it's really a fragile defense, so from the MC's defense it must be thought of. Because a counterattack must be in a match.

Actually, Manchester City played well against Wolves and it is true that you say they are unlucky, from the initial minutes had carried out attacks and played very offensive. but we all already know that wolves have a good defense and deadly counter-attacks. Unfortunately for Manchester City the defense is not playing well, they are not ready for a Wolves counter attack.

It is reported that pep Guardiola slammed David Silva in the dressing room after the wolves game, claiming he wasn't fast enough and didn't run much both in attack and defense, and also in closing down players.

I just hope there is no unrest in our dressing room at the moment, we're eight points behind and we're still chasing, but  if the team isn't united in the dressing room, then we have two things to chase. I hope pep Guardiola settles the nerves in the dressing room when his players return from the international break, and make sure they don't drop silly points going forward.

Who else saw the news of pep threatening to quit if city fall apart in the title race?

[TopT3ns]

Last season we saw a poor performance from Man United but after the manager was replaced the circumstances changed Man United like a hungry lion
Will the same thing happen this season   the players need a new manager.

United's appearance in the preseason match and beating Chelsea in the opening match with a score of 4-0,
makes me confident OGS has changed this team will be respected throughout the season. but in fact 8 matches they passed,
only able to collect 9 points. I doubt and hope United replace OGS.

There are indeed 2 choices, replace OGS or buy a new player or even both 
I'm not a MU fan but I want to see a competitor for Liverpool because they are too dominating

in my opinion it would be better if MU changed their coach, because as long as he trains there is no progress that is good enough. give him a chance in several matches and if there are still bad results that occur then there is no reason to maintain.

I think the decision will be taken after Man United vs Liverpool, the final result will determine the fate of the OGS
we know this is not an easy match but this is the only option available, Win or at least draw. Man United is also fortunate if Salah has not recovered from his injury.
