Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Mane really deserves it. His performance last season was really fantastic. Mane should have had the opportunity to win the ballon d'or last season. Now Liverpool squad (especially Mane and Salah) just have to appear consistent this season. I'm sure one of them will win the Ballon D'or this season if at least Liverpool can enter the final champion league

In my opinion he is the best striker right now in the world.
I cannot recall any other player being so successful and effective like him.
It was totally worthy and well deserved - I hope that he is going to win Ballon D'or as well and not seeing again the Messi - Ronaldo duo.

I am also happy to see Sadio Mane's performance at Liverpool with his agility and running fast when he pokes his opponents, as it is Liverpool lucky to have a player like Sadio Mane who can score goals for Liverpool.
Although not yet a row of top scorers, Sadio Mane gives a good feed to the opponent so that there is a goal for Liverpool's victory.

Even tho Mane was arguably best player from Africa all year, he was also a superbly nice human being as well which I am sure contributed a lot for him to win.

That's very true. Sometimes I get angry as a football fans why both players (Mo Salah and Sadio Mane) are playing for the same club. They're like our Messi & Ronaldo but it's never fun when comparing both players since they win trophies, medals together, compliment themselves with assists etc. Assuming they were playing for different clubs like Messi and Ronaldo then the competition would had been more tougher and intense but currently they're just on the same level with each having a more awesome season simultaneously. Sadio Mana outside football is a very generous individual and that's also contributing to his fan base, below is an image showcasing some of his generosity and love from his people.
            
                          

Not trying to put the two players against themselves but for the game to be lively, competition is needed that'll why the game over the last decade was very interesting as the two Goats alway gave us sometimes to discuss (debate) about. It would be nice for the Africa football community to experience such. Truely, Liverpool is lucky and blessed to have two of the best Africa players contributing to their recent success.

The competition between Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in coming years will be very interesting, and it will be nearly the same one that we have seen between Messi and Ronaldo. As far as S. Mane and Mo Salah will be able to maintain their good performances, they will do be on the top of candidates for the Africa Ballon' Dor. Since they both rose as super stars in the past three years, they have shown us the fact that they are not one-season players.

Two players fight over Ballon Dor Africa and it only plays one club, Liverpool, they always play a good duet and of course they will be selected as the winners of the African Ballon Dor candidates, since Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah played at Liverpool they played brilliantly so indeed it is true that they are not just one season showing their best games but continuously.

He wanted to come back home after he gets the award and says thanks to the people who believe him, sadly due to Liverpool's next match he can't do it. Best wish for Mane, Ballon d'Or should be the next target.

Although not yet a row of top scorers, Sadio Mane gives a good feed to the opponent so that there is a goal for Liverpool's victory.

He scores important goals in important matches. Not to mention that Liverpool is now more rounded and does not depend on their front 3 too often. Only their keeper didn't score a goal (yet).

It is better for them, for Liverpool and for football fans (non-Liverpoolians) because if they play for different teams, they will have greater important role and some type of priviledges in their separate teams. It is unreal condition and I thought their competition for personal titles, between them as well as against the other top players like Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Hazard partially caused their selfish playing style recent months.

I wish best for Liverpool and for them but at least I hope that their selfishness will not flourish too fast.

Now Liverpool are at one of their best times in club history. How to play very nice to watch and be filled by world-class players. The amazing thing is they don't depend on one player to always be able to play well. Even their reserve players can beat Everton when playing in the FA cup a few days ago.

Are you sure you can win against the Robin hood of premier league?
Let's check the fact that Manchester United are the club who never lost to big clubs like Manchester city, Tottenham, chelsea and liverpool itself (arsenal isn't a big club )

Becareful mate the first losing is haunted liverpool, it would happened anytime soon .

I think even if Ole and his team all play like shit, the problem is a mentality thing and psychology. I believe Klopp has now somehow found a way to drill it all past his current players to make them NOT belief that United is there to draw. It's a different season now and this is going to be Anfield.

They drew at OT but that was a bad performance from Liverpool. Imagine if they even play 70% United will be blown away.

Liverpool even with the second squad can beat Manchester United based on both teams performance.Liverpool is in top notch condition and it will be fairly easy for them to win with a big goal difference against Manchester United in Anfield Road.The fans of Liverpool are one of the best in the world so in that drowning atmosphere for United I think they will drown in Anfield this time.

For me it is perfect for Liverpool when competing against players not on one another but great cooperation on the field and they are able to collaborate with other players so they are not awkward when in front of the opponent's goal.
Many of the best players in Liverpool so many say that the Liverpool player will be a star player later.

The last time liverpool play against Manchester United they are indeed having 68% ball possession but it's all mean nothing when it comes to the final result, even Manchester United killed them with those huge gap statistics.

I don't see this time could be different.
The fact that Manchester United somehow always successfully makes big teams struggle, whenever everyone  else around the world against Manchester United... they successfully proved they're wrong.

[tokeweed]

^  I guess you're a United fan sporting a Lampard avatar and having a screen name called Eden Hazard?  

Anyway LFC has been unstoppable this season.  They will own United at home in a couple of weeks.

That's right.. Liverpool are in their best composition over the last few decades, and that's what makes them almost perfect this season (only 1 draw). Salah and Mane show their best performance and compactness (although a few months ago they were rumored to fight in the locker room).  btw, congratulations for Mane who managed to become the best African player in 2019.

[akmal1984]

He wanted to come back home after he gets the award and says thanks to the people who believe him, sadly due to Liverpool's next match he can't do it. Best wish for Mane, Ballon d'Or should be the next target.

Certainly Mane will fight for the Ballon d'or 2020 along with Salah. They both will be very good candidates. Especially if Liverpool managed to win the league again this season. I am 100% sure they will both be in the top 3 candidates for Ballon d'or next season. Because their game is really stable for one full season. And they really become a differentiator when their team needs a win or a goal.

Well Liverpool have already faced Manchester United and the game ended in a draw and Liverpool were the one who equalized during the last minutes of the game and they had their first team playing that game so you can't just say that their second squad will be able to score Manchester United.

They are not exactly like Messi and Ronaldo, I feel like an old person now but those people are still playing the game today and maybe if you look at what Mane and Salah is doing right now you can compare them to Messi and Ronaldo however at their peak about 5 years ago or so (and even maybe further back) Ronaldo and Messi was different kind of beasts, they were just the greats players football has ever seen in their history, even at their current age they are playing as well as any other player right now and think of how amazing they were when they were playing their best games.

If you put Ronaldo and Messi into the same team and build a semi-decent other 9 players on the team, they would win every league, champions league and anything they play in every single year for a decade without losing a single cup.

No doubt Messi and Ronaldo are one of the best football players we've ever seen. But football is a team game and you need a team to win. Messi and Ronaldo with other semi-decent player won't win any league. Ronaldo played his game most of the time and Messi is still playing in one of the most balanced and rich club in Europe. You can see how Ronaldo is struggling after changing his team. His current team is also a balanced one but he'd need time to get along.

Indeed the match before Liverpool was held to a draw by Manchester United and it was played at the Old Trafford stadium, I am sure in the match that will be won by Liverpool they will not draw again they will win this match and see the condition of Liverpool the better the day the chance will win against Manchester United
Liverpool will not waste the second time in this match.

[Maotezi]

In my opinion, congratulations to Liverpool on winning the Premier League, whether they will have enough strength to win the Champions League.
Livepool now looks like Man to me. City from 2017-18, when he topped the table with 100 points.
Can anyone stand up to the inviolable Liverpool
