Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[sana54210]

Manchester United should DEFINITELY sack Ole, dude has been horrible all year, why do people think Manchester can't sack managers constantly until they find a new one just because they had a great manager once and they were together for something like 20 years or something? I mean that was done and it is gone, now they need to find a new manager, they can't just hope that Ole is the new Ferguson and keep him for 20 years with that hope, that is not gonna happen and we all know it, so the sooner they sack him the better for the team.

Hopefully they don't get Mourinho lol . Arsenal could wait a bit longer, they were never the "lets get us the championship this year" type of team in any season.. well ever? So, they could still get better with time but wouldn't hurt sacking Ljungberg neither.

I think I agree with the media yesterday saying Arsenal does not know how to win and Manchester United failing again and again is no news now.I think that Manchester United if keeps playing like this until the end of the Premier League can even be in danger of relegation,they are not able of winning even games played at Old Trafford against weak teams like Aston Villa.

Man Utd & Arsenal are in the wilderness at the moment, pure transition. Football goes in cycles though, the PL is very competitive with 5 or 6 wealthy teams. You can’t expect to be the best for 50-60 years. Man Utd fans had a very long period of success with Ferguson but now it’s their time to suffer. Their time will come again, they need to be patient & support their team just as much through the bad times.

Arsenal lost their plot due to their head coach polices, first he names a player hated by their fans as their captain and then he doesn’t include Ozil their best player in match day squads and hence it’s not surprising he got the sack and Arsenal’s season is in a mess.

As far as Manchester United is concerned Ole’s foolish decisions of not replacing Lukaku and Herrera is hurting the club now, and their over reliance on McTominny was exposed once again. Honestly I don’t understand what are the club officials waiting for, they should sack Ole right away and give Poch or Allegri the job. Also whoever becomes the new coach of Manchester United needs to sell players like Jones, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Lindelof and buy Bruno, Vidal, Dybala, Koulibaly.

Those player you mentioned are worth to sold what happens is not entirely their fault but also the failure of the coach Ole that cannot mix the existing players well to be a good team.
I'm happy to see LFC that is consitent with it's appearance.

Selling those players mid season could be counter productive to the team in fact by doing so Man Utd might be fighting relegation towards the end of the season because bringing in new players now and blending them together to perform better than old players would definitely take some time remember a lot of them would be new to EPL, language barrier, EPL style of play etc I would advise the Man utd management to manage those tired and unproductive players till the end of the season before buying new players.

Is this karma because the two teams, especially supporters of Manchester United, often mocked Liverpool as a hard hit team champion? I am perfectly reminded of each season the supporters of the red devil often say the words "next year" for Liverpool. Now as you said, both of them are really suffering, but Liverpool are victorious.

This is happening for many decades and this war could be on for many decades because this revalry is beauty of this League and many peoples enjoy this but one thing is sure I agree with @LFC_Bitcoin its surely pure transition and this will move in favor of them but take his own time and Arsenal is never been so good they are average clube for long time.

And Leicester won against Everton 2:1, but it was not easy at all.
Goal scored in extra time, and they where  even losing in first half!
Vardy scored one more goal.
Best striker so far with 13 goals in EPL

Go Leicester! I am starting to be a fan  

Kelechi Iheanacho was the one who played a crucial part for Leicester yesterday. Their attacked grabbed a bit more pace after Iheanacho came in and boy-o-boy what a game he played. The assist he made it to Vardy was perfect to slot past Pickford and the goal faking the defender and slotting it on the left side at the dying minutes of the game was really something.

Now Leicester grabs the 2nd spot 

Brenda Rogers is a better coach than he was at Liverpool but am always worried of quick positive response of team to any coach, most time the effect is always short term, considering Jurgen Klopp and Guardiolla reign at their present clubs, which shows how efficient their effort pays in long run. Leceister looks more like a competitors than Man city with their win with some top teams, they usually an underrated team even when they sold their best players and stayed in top 10

[Strongkored]

Those player you mentioned are worth to sold what happens is not entirely their fault but also the failure of the coach Ole that cannot mix the existing players well to be a good team.

I'm starting to believe that those players are having some kind of psychological depression that affects their performance on the pitch, to be honest. I don't know what's going in the dressing room but seeing Delle Ali after Mourinho become Tottenham Manager strongly suggest that these players might need the same thing.

So Man United needs a new coach who can provide a new atmosphere and is also able to lift the mentality of the players and that is not in OSG.

Selling those players mid season could be counter productive to the team in fact by doing so Man Utd might be fighting relegation towards the end of the season because bringing in new players now and blending them together to perform better than old players would definitely take some time remember a lot of them would be new to EPL, language barrier, EPL style of play etc I would advise the Man utd management to manage those tired and unproductive players till the end of the season before buying new players.

Need new strategies for Man United to quit from this situation.

For this week all team will play 2 times in mid-week also weekend, and one of the matches that I have been waiting for is between Man United vs Tottenham, what will be an interesting one is to see the reaction of MU fans to see Mou returning to Old Trafford but as the coach of the club who will be their opponent.

for me their rivalry has ended, man united today are nothing. man united cannot be compared with liverpool's in current performance, because of their transition process it might still need some time or year a head until the man united condition really stable. I also really miss their rivalry in the past, especially when they are equally likely to win EPL and there were only few matches left. it is true the rivalry between teams that what makes beauty of EPL.

You can turn back the favor to them and tell them now “in the next decade” as this is probably what is going to happen to Manchester United.I think that Manchester United will not be able to win a Premier League for the next ten years because of its transition phase.Let’s not talk about Arsenal because they will take may be another two decades before may be to win a Premier League title.

Well said. I don't really support English teams but even in La Liga we had the cycles and I'm afraid my team Barcelona are in the middle of their decline, after we enjoyed a long time up there. Messi was truly our era, as much as Ferguson was United's. Now they must learn to adapt and improve in their transition so they don't end up to become another Nottingham Forest or similar.

Liverpool was in transition but this didn't last long.
Arsenal is on transition for around 15 years and I still don't see any improvement to the team. I think that this is the mentality that the board has, they want to leave the team fighting for the 3rd - 4th position.

[Furious 7]

This match will be exciting.
Tottenham vs Manchester United
Tottenham will host Manchester United at home on their Spurs win against Man. This United? I think Mourinho will give the best for Spurs in front of Man. United that Mourinho still deserves to be in the EPL

Liverpool vs Everton
Last week's match Everton was able to balance Manchester City 2-2 but will Liverpool be able to beat Everton or even draw again?

[Pmalek]

What a crazy FA Cup match last night between Solihull and Rotherham. Did anyone watch? Solihull from the 5th division led 3:0 against a much better Rotherham team from League One. Everything was pointing to a perfect night for the hosts until 20 minutes until the end when they lost all their strength and were no longer able to compete. In the last 15 minutes they conceded 4 goals and lost the match 3:4.   

[joniboini]

Liverpool was in transition but this didn't last long.

With what standard you judge it's a transition or not? Last time they win a Premier League is around 30 years ago, I think that alone shows that their 'transition' is not finished yet. I'd say when they win a Premier League trophy is when they come back on top again.

In the last 15 minutes they conceded 4 goals and lost the match 3:4.   

Poor soul. That must be freaking hard to take for the players.

This isn't karma whatsoever but rather poor management of the teams especially from the higher hierarchy of the two clubs. Since the two clubs lost a manager who has been there for a very long time, it will take a while for them to restructure and get back to winning ways. Manchester United started poorly and it seems Arsenal are following right in their footpaths when it comes to sacking managers.

Wenger didn't have that kind of players in his last years at the wheel as SAF did. It was somehow his fault, nevertheless it will take a lot for Arsenal to gather up after Arsene's exit. Those kind of big personalities always leave a great gap after them. I don't want to mention Fergie for 100th time so let's look at Barca after Guardiola or even Dortmund after Klopp. There were great times in both clubs after the exits of those coaches but the teams lacked stability and this sparkle that both guys have. This is maybe the key. And that's why it's very interesting what will come up with Mourinho's Spurs. He's a great personality and all but is he capable of putting a team into the next level after the Pochettino's dowse? I won't be so sure.

Manchester united no longer seem to be suffering from a great managerial loss(Ferguson), so many seasons have come and gone since the departure of Fergie and Manchester United as it stands gets worse every season, not to talk of how many managers have tried to put things right, but failed, at this juncture I'll blame the board, those at the hierarchy, maybe they aren't buying the right players or are not giving the right coach the job.

Arsenal may follow in United's footsteps, even though wengers reign may not have been as successful as Fergie's, but at least there was stability in the Arsenal team, moving on from Unai's Sacking, we'll see if Arsenal are able to get it right once and for all or not.

Today we have two matches
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth: Bournemouth is coming in this match after loosing three matches in a row while Crystal Palace is finding it difficult to score goals and hence i am not expecting much goals in this match.

Burnley vs Manchester City: Manchester City drew to Newcastle last week and hence they will be under pressure to win this match and i expect to win here and Manchester City to score over 1.5 goals.

Mancity will be firing on all cylinders tonight. They're losing track of Liverpool and that's not something Guardiola would want. Burnley has only one once in their last 10 minutes with Manchester City. I don't think today's own will be different but nothing is certain. Burnley lost on Saturday and they may want to make up and will be more than happy to settle for a draw.

[BitcoinTurk]

I think it will be a draw in 2 important matches that will be played this evening but Burnley can win the match in case of a mistake. I think there has been some weakening especially in Manchester City recently and they will not perform well in this match. In the other match, I think that Crystal Palace can win in case of a mistake because the odds of the match give a message in this direction. If you want to evaluate these 2 games I'm talking about can make coupons as follows.

Crystal Palace - Bournemouth: 1X
Burnley v Manchester City: 1X
