Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Coyster]

Arsenal fans moan a lot. They wanted Wenger out & now they want Emery out. Who is good enough to shut Arsenal fans up? Football goes in cycles, nobody is going to make Arsenal better than City & LFC right now.

It's not even about being better than City or Liverpool, it's about competing, mustering something close to a title challenge, picking up three points against some of the big six, Arsenal look more like mediocres this days, everytime they play, you just feel they wouldn't win or they'll blow up any advantage they hold up in the game.

This for sure isn't entirely emery's fault, Arsenal for me do not have top quality players, I do not know what the manager(emery)tells the board, but they need a coach who can make demands, request signings that'll suit his pattern and stuffs like that, Emery isn't doing any of that, he doesn't even look like he has a pattern.

It's not about making the team better than LFC or Man City instantly. What fans want to see is progressive improvement.

I believe whenever fans are not satisfied they will obviously complain. This happens in every big club be in Manchester United, Chelsea etc. Wenger had to go, anyone who thinks he would still succeed is not being realistic. The club was slowly sinking, and they had to "moan" as you said. Same story with Emery, after spending lots of money and making weird decisions, I too would not be happy if i was an Arsenal Fan.

Devastating game for Chelsea tonight. They are already behind as they have conceded 4 goals at home. There is still time but I don't think that they are going to revert the situation.

currently the score is 4-4 now  

That was a huge comeback for Chelsea. I didn't expect they are going to make this come back especially when you are back in the score with 3 goals.
Lampard has really built a strong team.

Am a chelsea fan but I hate that game, I hate such a comeback with so much controversy. I already felt defeated before the pickup. I didnt place bet on that match, it was more unpredictable as other champion league matches but might see better games in the other round next year. I enjoy a stiffer bet at that time.

And who to replace him? Mourinho?

As much as I hate Mourinho, he'll surely improve the current defense but I prefer Allegri ^{[as mentioned by others]} or our former player "Mikel Arteta".

Oh everyone wants Emery to leave the club asap. I am really not getting his mindset that he is putting behind Arsenal play for last few games. He is resting key player - Ozil for PL and CL and using him in Carabao Cup lol. Seriously we need someone new to save Arsenal .

18 months have passed and yet, he still doesn't have a clue on how to choose the best team or tactics when dealing with different teams.

I would like to see Mourinho again in competition but he is not for a team like Arsenal. The club which wants to have stability on the bench.
Mou probably will improve current Arsenal defence in the first season and what after? Look at his job in Manchester United. First two season, they have one of the best defences in the league, but in the third, players look like they are together for the first time and forget to play football. Plus, to be honest, Arsenal hasn't top-quality defence players.

I’d give Emery until the end of the season. If he gets CL football then keep him, if he doesn’t then replace him. It’s about progress, CL qualification would be progress, no?

[EdenHazard]

Mourinho is indeed rumored interested in the London job whether it's Tottenham or arsenal , but if you ask me ... Tottenham would be his destination.

Mou to Spurs? I can already see the players starting a mutiny within the club just days after Mou gets the job lol Spurs players aren't used to someone with such a strong character as Mou.

Plus, I don't think Mou and Levy will get along too well, the portuguese will probably ask for some signings before accepting the job, and Levy's response will be "fuck off!", not a great start, is it? haha 

Allegri is my pick for the Arsenal job.

I don't know man , even there's a reporter called that Jose Mourinho + Daniel levy = a disaster lol

But Why not? As long as the club granted whatever Mourinho wanted , there shouldn't be a problem I guess. The odds for Mourinho to become Tottenham manager was @2.2 ... and it's @1.6 now , strong signal.
Allegri also favorited for the arsenal job ... bookies give the odds @2.5 and second place there's pochettino @3.5

Every video I have seen did just what they did during the live telecast. They paused it just when it happened. And it wasnt actually son but aurier.

They showed how they popped the ankle back in here https://90xtra.com/watch-andre-gomes-injured-leg-fixed-by-this-medica/
It isnt that bad to watch this procedure as it wasnt broken just dislocated.

That day everyone thought it was a broken leg , thanks it's not that bad even though it's a dislocated still that's make me prickling man

The end of the season is still long so for Emery to improve his strategy for Arsenla, at least Arsenal can replace Leicester in third place so Emery can be considered a good coach because rivals at EPL are very tight.

[JollyGood]

No, I do not see Emery getting sacked.

Arsenal should look at Manchester United and learn the lesson of what happened after Sir Alex Ferguson left the club. Emery needs time to try and get things going.

Yep, it would be progress

But the problem is the division he is already creating in the dressing room and trust me in the long run it will have far more devastating effects than it is right now.
Look how Arsenal have are playing already lately, blowing away solid leads in matches you would really believe they could win.

A couple of players like Ozil and now xhaka are not happy and if it spreads through the dressing room, it will be poisonous to the team.
I am not a person who likes predicting doom but if things don't change, 4th place will be out of reach for Arsenal this season again.

Hmm, this thread is [surprisingly] quiet even though Matchweek 12 starts today. 

Any comments on the Norwhich vs 'Worst team in the Top 5 leagues'? I kinda wanna add Norwhich to my parlay but I have a feeling that 'Worst team in the Top 5 leagues' will finally grab their first win in the league today, I mean, they're playing against the 19th in the league, surely this is the game that could help turn things around for the 'Worst team in the Top 5 leagues'.

I totally agree. Arsenal is not similar to Manchester United on Manager issues.
The gunners hold their manager even if the team doesn't perform well and they give him time to try and fix it. On the other hand, Manchester United follows another strategy of firing the coach immediately. Maybe this is due to the difference on fans' behavior of those two clubs.

I think Watford's gonna be wanting it more and Norwich has been fading lately (but don't make your pick on my account.  Lol).

Anyway it's that time of the week, make your picks:  https://fortunejack.com/promotions/majesticseven

My picks:

Doucoure
Abraham
Son
Vardy
Jimenez
Rashford
Aguero

In the match with Norwich City and Watford i am expecting both teams to score and that is the best option you can pick in this match and Watford has never won a game till now and they are the only team to win a match in this season where as Norwich lost five matches in the past six matches.

I am going with Watford to win- from the love of BTC to be honest.
I guess, for WFC, it's the best time to pick their 1st win. Odd is 2.6 for Watford in Sportsbet, not bad either. There's a big one of 16 if no goals, worth trying? 

expecting both teams to score and that is the best option you can pick in this match and Watford has never won a game till now

1.55 on sportsbet, doesn't worth in my opinion. Don't know about other bookies though.

[skarais]

I feel interested in discussing the match between the Leicester vs Arsenal. I think Leicester have a greater chance of winning than Arsenal. Leicester is advantage is playing at home and in front of their loyal supporters. Arsenal have a smaller chance of victory in my opinion, the results they got before might make them go down to the rankings in the standings if they lose this match.
I see an opportunity to win a bet in this match with Leicester, at least I want to try a little luck with him tomorrow.

If you want your name and scores added then post them here and I will upload them.

We can compare the results at the end of the weekend to see who got more right

Arsenal had been playing badly in their recent matches, the chances of Emery managing arsenal till the end of the season is very slim a lot of criticism had been pouring on Emery from both their fans, soccer pundits and analyst Arsenal had been very vulnerable defensively and Emery seems to be clueless in making amendment in that area. After the departure of Sir Alex ferguson Man utd were not so bad like arsenal when coach David Moyes was their manager.

It's surely not worth it, I wouldn't go for both teams to score from teams that combined have only 17 goals combined from 11 games.

I find under 1.5 goals at halftime for odds of 1.59 more appealing.
