Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Abu-Naim]

It will be so stupid if manchester united will keep ten hag much longer. The club is in a critical situation as it has been also recording the worst result in UCL. Glazer needs to do something and the club shall need to get a new coach.
Ten hag is never able bringing manchester united up again. It was only helping united to stick in the same place over and over again. Ten hag deserves to get a lot of pressures caused by he was the united coach.

If he is not willing to get pressures, then he can try to leave from the club by his own. Manchester united will be driving itself to the abyss if the club will keep him much longer.
Ten hag deserves no place in the club. The fans are also trying to push the management to kick him out from the club.

Ten hag is shit, he was initiating so many horrible transfers like antony or even hojlund and mount.

I thought as much also, he is not competitive enough, and he always look for excuses whenever they lose.
A competitive coach in a big team like Manchester United should know what to do to succeed in such worst conditions, been eliminated in Champions League in a group where only Bayern Munich is a top team there is shameful, they lose almost eight points in winning possession which is a very poor performance overall in their Champions League campaign this season; and their inconsistency in the Premier League this season is also something the coach should have worked on before it becomes too late because if they keep on with this performance, they will likely not qualify to the Champions League next season.

I think sacking Ten Hag will be the best thing for United right now so as to try another manager and add more players during the January transfer window.

[Popkon6]

Manchester United must forget with bad result in Champion League for focus upcoming match against Liverpool, they have good start again after losses in several matches and must return to winning moment if won't loss the top fourth standings.

What I fear for Manchester United is another loss in the league which is very possible because Liverpool at Anfield is a team that is capable of winning Manchester City, not even Man United that is not in a good form.
Ten Hag will be in hot seat by now because his job will be at stake if they lose to Liverpool.
I wish Manchester United management will decide changing manager and some players in order to regain Man United’s dignity and respect in the Premier League.

Manchester United is having a very poor performance this season. Manchester United definitely need some players because they fail to attack at the right time. However, Manchester City is much ahead here because the defenders are strong and the striker they have Haaland is very hard to attack and score goals. So if Manchester United is compared with Manchester City then of course Manchester United is far behind. So I agree with you that Manchester United definitely need players.

[hahay]

Manchester City lost a lot of points this season, it seems they are not interested in the title race this season, they seem serious about focusing on the Champions League to maintain their name as defending champions this season, even though some time ago they were beaten by Aston Villa and held to a draw by Liverpool but Manchester City are slowly starting to recover to improve their consistent game play which was lost in the previous match.

Why are you so sure that Man City is not interested in the Premier League trophy? Although their performance this season is not as good as last season and they lost in several matches but that doesn't mean their chances in the Premier League are gone. Currently, they are only 4 points behind Liverpool, who are in first place and there is still a very long way to go in the Premier League, so Man City still has a lot of time to improve and make a comeback. I think Man City can be better because they are a team that has a winning mentality and they have the capability to do so.

Yes indeed, it is very funny about assumptions like that, they assume when the team gets bad results then they assume the team is not interested to get trophy, honestly that is a very funny assumption. After all, with the results that Manchester City are not getting optimally like that at this moment, of course it doesn't mean that Manchester City is a sick team that can easily leave the title race.

Because after all, Manchester City is an elite team that always targets trophies every season, so yes, bad results like this are still normal considered because they are still part of the process in the long step throughout the season. After all, Manchester City is also not in the middle of the standings, so yes, with that said that Manchester City still has a close points gap with Liverpool, so of course there are still many good opportunities for Manchester City to be able to compete strongly again in the race for the title and that does not mean they are not interested in trophies.

Reece James the effective and important player of Cheslea posted bout his situation in his team. In the game between Everton and Chelsea in which Chelsea lost the game with a 2-0 result, Reece James got injured hard and he left the field. It seems the James's problem is a hamstring injury and he can't play for his team for a long time there is the possibility for James to have surgery and if he does that he should reset for a longer time.

I don't think, James injury is the caused of the defeat Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 last match because if you look at their position currently in the premier league table you will know that they are not good in this season and it will take them some seasons before their new manager can improve the team to be like Manchester city. James is an old player in Chelsea and he knows how to handle the midfield very well for their strikers to have effective performance in the front to achieve a good results at the end of the match. I believe Chelsea manager will do everything possible within his capacity to ensure James recover on time, because the players on bench cannot handle the midfield very well like the way James is handling the Chelsea midfield.

It's still his old injury. It was getting even worse and it's an unpredictable thing to happen with him. His caption has been representing how frustrated he was. Reece hames has become a very good RB for chelsea and it sounds very bad to hear he needs to leave from the club again for a long time.
It's been a few games since reece was actively playing for chelsea again. The performance of chelsea becomes even worst without him. Look at how pochettino was putting levi colwill to replace his position instead of pure RB.

This is a very bad news for all of chelsea fans. The club that was also interesting to recruit him will have no interest anymore to do that.

[AakZaki]

The coach is the person most responsible for everything that happens to the Manchester United team at the moment.
I even highlighted the poor performance of the Manchester United team on all fronts and it is inversely proportional if we look at the quality in this squad so it is clear that Ten Hag is the one who is to blame here.
There is no other possibility and way for Manchester United other than to reshuffle this squad, and in my opinion Ten Hag should be fired from the Manchester United coaching chair because he has really failed to manage the Manchester United team.

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

[wmaurik]

It will be hard for Manchester City to repeat what they did in the Premier League last season because Kevin De Bruyne will be with the Manchester City squad for the long term and it is affecting Manchester City's performance. Liverpool is the real threat to Manchester City this season, Liverpool will want to be at the top of the Premier League till the season ends.

With the consistency that Liverpool has built this season, it is very clear that it will be a real obstacle for its competitors, especially for Manchester City, which is currently starting to have a gap with Liverpool in terms of points. So it is very possible for Manchester City to experience difficulties this season and will not be able to repeat the success they achieved last season this season. But Liverpool must also be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season if they want to make Manchester City continue to experience difficulties.

[arimamib]

Erik ten Hag has been given enough time to reposition Man Utd unfortunately it's seem things are not looking good for club crashing out and coming last in UCL by such a club of such a big status and magnitude is very embarrassing and unacceptable that means the manager would likely face a sanction possibly in form of a sack and it obvious their next match against Liverpool would be a decisive moment for the manager because a defeat against Man Utd would probably triggers his imminent sack the board wouldn't wait till the end of the season because the club might even end the league in an unfavorable position thus depriving them of European competitions next season and it's very obvious their fans would support whatever decision taken by the board.

The pressure on Erik Ten Hag has reached the climax of it. Lost to Bournemouth 0-3 at home and finished bottom of the Champions League Grou stage are unacceptable and unforgivable. The fact that they will play against Liverpool in an upcomig game is the most killing thing for Manchester United Fans. I dont think Ten Hag and the players are able to handle this pressure anymore. The morale has been very low at the moment, and even can be at the lowest if they lose to Liverpool with big score.

The board will have to make a decision based on the overall performance and the club's long-term interest. The possibility of missing out on European competitions next season adds an additional layer of concern. Ten Hag and the players have completely lost the support from either the board and the fans. If Ten Hag continue his managerial tenure, things can get worse to unimaginable low. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds, and whether Manchester United's board decides to make a managerial change sooner rather than later. The decision like this is always carefully weighed against the team's ambitions and expectations.

This is bad news for Chelsea’s coach and the entire team. Reece James is a very great player in the team that Chelsea need in this their trying times but his injury has become a pain in the neck for him for some time now. This player has been playing great but he have now started becoming an injury prone player because of how often he gets injured now. If things doesn’t change for good, Chelsea will one day want to sell him and have a replacement without having injuries that will last a long time or a player susceptible to injury more often.

The long term injury to Reece James is bad news for Chelsea right now. He is expected to return back in February to match, but he will miss a lot of Chelsea games. I've heard rumors that Real Madrid is interested in buying James, but I don't think that will happen again because of his injuries. Reece James is still a key player for Chelsea, so I don't think they will decide to sell him to replace another player. As we all know, Chelsea can acquire any player without having to sell current players.

Some Manchester United fans are saying Harry Kane would have been a better choice than Hojlund but to me I don't see it that way, Man UTD don't have what it takes to feed the England number 9 to get goals for the club.
 They lack maturity in that team, everyone on the Red devils team are feeling too big and it won't make any difference if Harry Kane was a United player, that individual play will still continue and it won't have worked out well the way we are seeing Kane banging goals for Bayern because at Manchester United the services are not there.
 I don't even see Manchester United getting a comfortable game against Liverpool this weekend, it would be another disappointing fixture for them and Klopp would make sure he gets all 3 points.

If Harry Kane were to join Manchester United, he would still have to face the same issues that Hojlund is currently facing. While at Bayern Munich, Kane had incredible players who worked hard to help him score goals, but since Hojlund joined Manchester United, he has only scored goals in the Champions League. When Hojlund first arrived, some people compared him to Erling Haaland, another goal scorer who had arrived in the Premier League, given the way he struggled to score. In particular, Rashford didn't want to assist anyone and wanted to score on his own, Bruno will also miss their next match against Liverpool, of course that will really be another disappointment.

your observation is correct. Man United didn't have a game that looked like a team. There is no figure at Man United who is the driving force for other players to play well. they only play individually to show off their own skills.
when Man United players can really realize that, and change their playing patterns to be able to play better as a team. maybe they can end the season better. If not, perhaps there is nothing to expect from the Ten Hag squad this season.

Ten Hag has to really figure out what to do with this team. I saw their game yesterday and it was so disgusting. Their fans was really behind them cheering them up, but week in week out this team keeps disgracing their fans. Now that they are out of the champions league, they have to focus on making European football next season. This team looks lost at the moment.

I do not think that Hojlund is the problem, United is having an awful season and it's mainly about the midfield as well, why? Because they are not really having any strategy that would allow them to get better, it's not really all that easy and should be considered something bigger than that.

If they had a proper midfield, and probably better wings, then they would have a chance where they can feed Hojlund or others and score easier, but they are having trouble against good defensive teams since they do not have any player that could fix the issue and they should look for the situation as different and not that easy. If they get some good players there, they could actually provide some good results and get some more goals.

Manchester City lost a lot of points this season, it seems they are not interested in the title race this season, they seem serious about focusing on the Champions League to maintain their name as defending champions this season, even though some time ago they were beaten by Aston Villa and held to a draw by Liverpool but Manchester City are slowly starting to recover to improve their consistent game play which was lost in the previous match.

I don't think Manchester City aren't interested in the Premier League trophy; they just don't have the luck this season to perform well and win the league. I'm sure when Manchester City's players return from injury, they will try to win the trophy, but since they have lost many points in the table, it will be very difficult for them to do so. Last season Manchester City played very well and won the Premier League, this season they will struggle to win because they key players De Bruyne is injured and no one in the club that is playing like him,  and is affecting Haaland he can't score many goals like last season in the premier league. Manchester City still has a chance to win the league this season because the league has not gone far and Guardiola is a very good coach and gifted, so anything can happen, but I don't believe Manchester are simply focused in the Champions League this season only.

Manchester United is having a very poor performance this season. Manchester United definitely need some players because they fail to attack at the right time. However, Manchester City is much ahead here because the defenders are strong and the striker they have Haaland is very hard to attack and score goals. So if Manchester United is compared with Manchester City then of course Manchester United is far behind. So I agree with you that Manchester United definitely need players.

Anyone didn't believe Manchester United would play poor games this season because they performed very well last season and qualified for the Champions League, but since the start of the season, Manchester United has not played very good games that will impress you. If you go and watch Manchester United, you will most likely come back with an angry face because you will most likely complain the players are just playing weak games, but the main thing Erik Ten should just find some key players next summer. Since they don't want to sack him, they should see whether he can perform well. However they would like a new coach because Erik ten Hag has spent money and bought players but the club has not improved, if they score they will be complaining about Onana, but they don't know is from the defense line.

[shogun47]

Manchester City's match tactics were very good last season. The squad had talented players like De Bruyne and Gundogan. We didn't see Haaland score in several important matches last season. However, Manchester City won easily. Because the opposing team's defenders were busy to stop Haaland. And on this occasion, either De Bruyne or Alvarez scored to give Manchester City the win. We saw this in several matches. But this season we are seeing very little of that. Manchester City are getting expected performances from Alavarez this season as well. But City's defense is understandably weak. And that is why it is difficult for City to perform well against the big teams.

Yes to me it seems because of players who left or got injured the whole squad got out of balance. They are still strong and among the best teams in the world, but there is a performance gap if you consider both seasons. Guardiola's teams have always been dominated by the midfielders, but having the best midfield in the world is exceptional, having it several years in a row is unbelievable and rebuilding it when players leave or get injured is impossible. They can be happy about Alvarez' development because he is making up for some of the imbalance that emerged because of De Bruyne's injury as he is working a lot while being mostly driven by his offensive efforts.

I doubt if Manchester city isn't interested in the league title this season but it seems like they are been faced by a natural scenerio where big teams in almost every league at some point do experience a slow down and do drop points but then for very good teams like Manchester city we can be sure they they will soon get back on their feet and definitely pick their form again.

The few losses they have experience recently is not actually telling on their confidence and morale because they have still performed well I'm their previous games regardless of the losses and dropping of point, the season still have got some good number of weeks ahead such that Manchester city will be able to definitely make up for the mess that has occurred in recent times. I know they are bent on maintaining their records as the defending champions of the champions league but it still doesn't mean they don't aim to perform well in the premier league aswell.

[Queentoshi]

I do not think that Hojlund is the problem, United is having an awful season and it's mainly about the midfield as well, why? Because they are not really having any strategy that would allow them to get better, it's not really all that easy and should be considered something bigger than that.

The next Manchester United game is going to bring more insults and blames to the coach because it is against a very strong foe, and in a very unfriendly environment. Manchester United will play Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Manchester United are not the choice of the team to win. They have two players in doubts for that game already, Harry Maguire who recently has earned his place back in the starting team, and Luke Shaw who is just back from an injury he sustained before. Manchester United are not in a good position with their supporters, if they lose that game just after failing out of the champions league, there will be lots of groaning.

[borovichok]

It's still his old injury. It was getting even worse and it's an unpredictable thing to happen with him. His caption has been representing how frustrated he was. Reece hames has become a very good RB for chelsea and it sounds very bad to hear he needs to leave from the club again for a long time.
It's been a few games since reece was actively playing for chelsea again. The performance of chelsea becomes even worst without him. Look at how pochettino was putting levi colwill to replace his position instead of pure RB.

This is a very bad news for all of chelsea fans. The club that was also interesting to recruit him will have no interest anymore to do that.

Chelsea will continue to concede goals from the cause of errors made from the backlines, Mauricio Pochettino should ensure to work on his defendlines because there's evidence of the coach and supporters to worry over everything in the club. Reece James is currently vulnerable to injuries and he's absent for upcoming matches, this is no good news for the clun. Reece James have lost his prime moment at Stamford Bridge have come to an end because there's nothing solid about the club other than these new players are contributing zero stats to the club's progress.

when Man United players can really realize that, and change their playing patterns to be able to play better as a team. maybe they can end the season better. If not, perhaps there is nothing to expect from the Ten Hag squad this season.

I can see that people are now seeing the light in what I had been warned about since last year, Man United is having issues of psychology and connectivity among the players and this could linger for long if care is not taken. I hardly supported the changing of coaches when they were doing it even though seemed necessary just like we see it now. I knew that such would not solve the problem as it would only lead to not solving the main issues but just faking it with self-deceit. At this time, Ten Hag is under pressure and could be relieved of his duty at any time, though I like the composure of the guy, you will hardly notice it on him. But the reality is that he is under pressure and can do anything to fix the issue. Unfortunately, it seems that he is overwhelmed already just like the coaches before him, and also making the same mistakes others earlier made. They needed to build a bridge among the players and get the club running again.

But I will not undermine their effort in the last match yesterday, even though they were beaten by Bayern in the UCL match, I wouldn't say that Man U was a complete failure in the match. They tried their best only that Bayern was a better club. The match was a tough one and Man U tried in the defence part. Maybe they would have been better if they had worked more on the attack, I didn't see what those guys are really doing, even the middle is not so impressive as well. Conceding just a goal is proof of the defence, they are the least in the group, so there is nowhere they are going before, yet they did what they could do and left the rest for fate. As it is, it will be difficult for Man u to go home with any trophy this season, the earlier they locate the issue and fix it, the better.

[Justbillywitt]

Manchester United are really crying for help these days.

Manchester United are crying for a new coach and i wonder when the board will work in that direction and fix it well. The Manchester United plays without tactics, no style of play, no build up plans or any attacking intents at all.

What Manchester United is a better coach not that tactical fraud lol. This weekend, they face Liverpool; another demolition in sight.

How many coaches has Manchester United hired since the retirement of Alex Ferguson? Sometimes I think the problem of Manchester United is bigger than coaches alone. So when people say Ten Hag should be fired I laugh. Let him stay and finish the season that's my opinion.

[Issa56]

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

Manchester United should be ashamed of themselves, they couldn't qualify from the group stage. The only difficult club that I noticed in the Manchester United group was Bayern Munich. Other clubs shouldn't find it difficult for them to win, but they could only win 1 match in the group stage, which is kind of annoying and bad. I don't know what Manchester United management is planning to do with ten hag, actually, I won't be recommending them to sack ten hag yet. Let's just wait and see the new signing he will be making when the next transfer window is open and how his signing will have any impact on Manchester United's performance.

Manchester United's next match will be against Liverpool, which I am sure won't be an easy match for Manchester United because I am sure they won't be able to beat Liverpool. Manchester United's performance is kind of poor, and Liverpool are performing incredibly well currently, they are currently in first position, and they won't want to lose to a club like Manchester United that is performing poorly currently. I am expecting the match to be an easy win for Liverpool, Manchester United won't have a difficult moment in the match.

[flipme]

If Harry Kane were to join Manchester United, he would still have to face the same issues that Hojlund is currently facing. While at Bayern Munich, Kane had incredible players who worked hard to help him score goals, but since Hojlund joined Manchester United, he has only scored goals in the Champions League. When Hojlund first arrived, some people compared him to Erling Haaland, another goal scorer who had arrived in the Premier League, given the way he struggled to score. In particular, Rashford didn't want to assist anyone and wanted to score on his own, Bruno will also miss their next match against Liverpool, of course that will really be another disappointment.

I think more importantly the Premier League is more difficult than the Bundesliga. Harry Kane has great stats in the Bundesliga, but I think he might not have the same stats if he was transferred to Manchester United. I think that's an important issue. On the other hand, I think his transfer to Bayern Munich was the right decision. Because the only thing missing in his career is a trophy. So for him, playing for Tottenham or Manchester United might not make a difference, but playing for Bayern Munich would mean a lot.

[baeva]

I have never seen in the media that there is talk of Ten Hag resignation, I think it's more the fans' wish, which by the way the club management doesn't hear and probably doesn't want to hear since he is still in office. But even if they win the match with Liverpool, they can lose another, the next match, so I think it is not an indicator and not a reason to sack the coach

[Oluwa-btc]

Reece James the effective and important player of Cheslea posted bout his situation in his team. In the game between Everton and Chelsea in which Chelsea lost the game with a 2-0 result, Reece James got injured hard and he left the field. It seems the James's problem is a hamstring injury and he can't play for his team for a long time there is the possibility for James to have surgery and if he does that he should reset for a longer time.

I don't think, James injury is the caused of the defeat Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 last match because if you look at their position currently in the premier league table you will know that they are not good in this season and it will take them some seasons before their new manager can improve the team to be like Manchester city. James is an old player in Chelsea and he knows how to handle the midfield very well for their strikers to have effective performance in the front to achieve a good results at the end of the match. I believe Chelsea manager will do everything possible within his capacity to ensure James recover on time, because the players on bench cannot handle the midfield very well like the way James is handling the Chelsea midfield.

How is Recee James a midfielder? And for your information, Pochetino Mauricio is not part of the medical team and even if he was amongst em he has no rope to play with the speedy recovery of James. If I'm correct, there was no direct contact or collision from another player and him. James is not more of a great captain, not even Cowill. They should dropped them and give that dueting to Mauricio Pochetino.

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola may have qualified honestly but making assessment for how they've played they be poor ASF. I don't know whats cooking.
