Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Even if he is Ronaldo, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to adapt to the players around him. Although, he comes at a time where the players are off for international break, and I do believe some clubs are preventing players from leaving the country, and playing international games. If that is the case, he might have a lot of time in between now, and when the next game is to adapt.

Yes, you have a point. Ronaldo did play at Man United but that was a long time ago. After from Man United he moved to Spain and finally to Italy. The style of play in the English Premier League is certainly different from La Liga or Serie A and because Ronaldo has played for Real Madrid for a long time, so he has to find his rhythm again in the EPL.

It's just that the time it takes for Ronaldo to adapt might not be too long because he has experienced in the EPL and I think Ronaldo is a typical player who easily finds chemistry with his teammates.

As for Adama Traore, as far as I know Tottenham were hoping to sign him before the transfer window closes. And Wolves were demanding an offer around €40m. But Tottenham didn't want to pay that much and the deal already ended before it started. But it is good that Tottenham didn't get him. Adama Traore is not that good now. He should practise a lot on finishing. He is the worst when it comes to shooting but he is still insisting on playing selfish in some cases.

Different manager have their different philosophy and style of play. Maybe Nuno Espirito Santo might a defensive minded manager. But i see what he is trying to do with the Tottenham team. Unarguably Adama Traore flourished under Nuno Espirito at Wolves, scoring about 10 goals and provided 18 assists. He is somehow about average for though. His performance for wolves made him travelled with the Spanish team during the 2020 Euros. Personally, I don't see any need bringing Adama from Wolves into the team when you still have similar players like him in the team. Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura are players with experience and can replicate perfectly what Adama will display on the pitch. Maybe not defensively but they are nice players. Signing Adama would have been waste of money though.    

Tottenham might have been thinking of putting Adama Traore in the subs. Like you said, they already have Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn. And they have a quite decent performance also. In this situation, it would be hard for Traore to get a chance in the starting eleven. And as long as Traore doesn't practice more to shoot better, he won't be at a better level than this. And Tottenham will also lose their interest in him.

[Avirunes]

With a stable performance this season, maybe they will try to get an experienced striker in the team next season.

It is a bit hard for teams newly promoted usually to find someone experienced to get into the team. However they could get some young stars who had good season from other league's but if they have to make some good signings then they need to make a name and IMO it is a long road before they get to that stage.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I believe this Ronaldo will not take long, he is a talented player so he will adapt to the game which exists.

After seeing the news of Ronaldo's transfer to Man United, my wild mind said that Man City would be the winners of this league.  After previously competing closely with City, it is time for MU to become champions in this league, especially since they have brought in talented players like CR to support progress at the club.  But this is just a wild thought, despite the fact that CR is definitely still adapting to his new club.

Ronaldo’s signature to Man United doesn’t really guarantee them wining the EPL. He returned back to Man United because he wanted to come back home, home to where he started. I believe they were a contender of the EPL after they got Jordan Sancho and Raphael Varane. So maybe Ronaldo’s addition cemented their quest. At the moment, there’s no favorite for this season’s tittle as the season is still young to predict. Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all serious contenders and have all reinforced their key positions. But signing Ronaldo doesn’t make a certain club superior to others to win the league. They’re some key responsibilities and work the managers and players have to put in to achieve this goal. Let’s see how it goes.

[Coyster]

Top players will not come to Arsenal; they need to at least create a battle-worthy team of average players and take prizes, and then top players can come to the team, as Atletico Madrid did in its time. But for this you need a good coach, but alas, Arsenal does not yet have this in mind.

I second that as well, I do not think any world class player can think of moving to Arsenal at the moment, they look more or less like a mid-table team struggling to remain in the league, the big clubs always try to keep their team afloat so that even if they do not do well in any particular season, they can still offer champions league football to players they wish to sign and that can allure them to move to the team, Arsenal on the other hand can't offer anything good to decent players, thus they would not be looking their way at all.

Having said that, I don't know if Arteta is inexperienced or not just good enough, but what I know is that the bad form Arsenal are experiencing currently isn't entirely his fault, every coach needs players to get the job done, and Arteta basically just has mediocre players at his disposal, if they can get him better players to work with and then he fails at the job, then accusing fingers can be pointed at him, but for now every single human at the club should share a blame in their current predicaments.

How the difference between the EPL and Serie A is of course very far and the EPL is much faster in terms of its game, maybe it will be a little awkward for Ronaldo because he will start again in the EPL but it's true what you say will not take long because you are experienced so you will know what the situation is with team.

In the EPL, a small team can make it difficult for a big team, that's because it often happens, so the game here is very tight. Ronaldo will definitely be more alert on the front lines as a goal-scoring battle.

[tygeade]

It is not just about the stars being there, but there is a story here as well, there is really like some sort of familiarity and neighborhood feeling. In most other nations like me there are big clubs and everyone is a fan of those clubs, it is a great feeling because you win in turns and sometimes you are the best team for many years, look at France for example, PSG has so many fans and not everyone of them is from Paris neither, hell some of them are not even from France, it is that type of situation all over the world, it is just a team.

However in premier league, it feels like you are fan of a team of a town, like when I cheer for Manchester United, I do not feel like I am supporting just a team, but also Manchester as a whole as well, or if I am supporting Liverpool it is not just about the game, it goes back to beatles and even more. It is a whole culture thing, it is the feeling of being there and being in the pub with all the other fans who got out of our shitty jobs (well, I like my job but anyway) and tired and want to just drink a pint and see my team destroy the other team you know? Different feeling.

[Kusman]

Not only that, the Arsenal coach is doing badly. Their management is not very good. They can't pick the right players for the team even if they spend a lot of money. I do not expect a good performance from Arsenal despite the dismissal of Arteta until their management changes.

I totally agree with you on this. Arsenal are still spending an important amount of money on new players but still they are terrible at choosing the right players. They still haven't understood that they need at least a few top players to make this team stronger. Arsenal can fight for the upper places in only this way. They should spend a lot of money at least for once to get better.

Top players will not come to Arsenal; they need to at least create a battle-worthy team of average players and take prizes, and then top players can come to the team, as Atletico Madrid did in its time. But for this you need a good coach, but alas, Arsenal does not yet have this in mind.

Arsenal have been the same for many years. And it is really frustrating to see them doing nothing about fighting hard to achieve something. This not the real Arsenal.  The real Arsenal would fight with all they have and try to do something even if they don't manage to win the league title. With a more fitting coach, they would start getting better I believe. Arteta is most likely to get sacked soon.

The english premier league wont be challenging for Ronaldo considering the fact that he played there some years ago. There is no much difference between the English premiership and the Serie A apart from physicality and its fastness. He is experienced and a professional, professionals know how to raise their game in order to adapt to the league system. Although he may not be that active on the field of play. During the Euro 2020, his game seemed pared back, was not really mobile, playing and moving mainly within the penalty area. He has now become that penalty-box poacher. But his dedication to his profession remains fierce, showing total commitment is always make him stand out. I pray he help create a winning culture among the players.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't been playing in the Premier League since the 09/10 season. I don't think that the league is still the same as old times. I see it as much more challenging now. However, Ronaldo can still adapt to the league easily to be honest. Because he is not inexperienced in this league. He played here for 6 seasons in the end.

Different times, and a vastly different player. Ronaldo isn't the player he was when he played at Manchester United. He's more of a box player these days, and isn't so much the dynamic runner that he used to be. While I doubt he will have significant problems in the Premier League, I don't think he's going to be as effective as people are expecting. Remember, one of Ronaldo's biggest threats years ago was his free kicks, however I believe they have declined in recent years.

One thing he will bring to the team is motivation, as well as experience which I believe are inter linked somewhat. Ronaldo is a player that other players will be keen to learn from, and look up to him as a result. That creates a certain dynamic between the players, and gets them to bond, and play cohesively as a team. The only issue I see with the Ronaldo business is if he becomes to big of a personality within the team, although to  be honest I think Ronaldo has always been a professional, and its more Mbappe, and Neymar who have been rumoured to have attitude issues.

Maybe so. However, Ronaldo is still the greatest goalscorer of all time. Last season he scored 29 goals in Serie A, and was top scorer at the Euros, despite Portugal failing to make it further than the last sixteen.

Yes. I think he is a hard worker, and a true professional. He takes care of himself, and he is more than capable of playing at the top level for quite a few more years.

Back then, Wenger was still in charge of Arsenal and he is completely on a different level compared with Arteta. Considering that Arsenal 'sacked' Wenger back then because they thought that Arsenal wasnt really improving while the other top teams has improved alot, I'd say the current Arsenal is far worse. Well Wenger must be laughing right now everytime he watch Arsenal lose

Arteta is most likely to get sacked soon.

Its not his fault entirely because the whole squad has no capabilities to win but someone has to take the blame and its going to be Arteta

Arsenal performance since the season started have been poor. They have played 3 matches and haven't scored a single goal. Arsenal is the most spender in the summer 2021, but their squad is not strong enough to withstand a big teams in the Premier League. They have to work on the team entirely. If they continue like this, they won't be able to achieve any title this season. Arsenal is currently at the bottom of the table. They indeed need talented players to boost their performance.

I saw a few days ago some footage of Arsenal matches when Wenger was still Arsenal coach. I have to admit that Wenger is very good at strategizing
and also motivating players. Arsenal's game was much more beautiful to watch when Wenger was still Arsenal coach. Very different from Arsenal today,
I don't see Arsenal players being motivated to win right now. Even though the quality of Arsenal's players is still better than Leicester, but Leicester
could have done much better and made it difficult for some strong teams. Actually Arteta had been given a chance to prove himself, imagine Arteta
has been Arsenal coach from 2019 and it's been 2 years I haven't seen Arsenal's performance improve. So I have to blame Arteta for the bad result
that happened to Arsenal. The match against Norwich will be the fate of Arteta at Arsenal, if Arsenal fail to win, looks like Arteta really needs to be fired.

As far as I remember, one of the initiators of the transfer was the head coach of Manchester United Ole Gunnar Solskjaer himself, so I think that Ronaldo should not have any big problems with adaptation. For the same reason, I think that the head coach already has a rough idea of how he will use such a player in the team's game. By the way, it will be interesting for me to see whether Ronaldo will be able to maintain his high level and win the title of the best striker of the Premier League right away. Does the competition in the league and the level of performers in the team itself allow to achieve such a result? In any case, the current situation is a new challenge for Ronaldo and a great incentive for further playing at the highest level.

Even a doctor suggest a fan of arsenal to moving on , as being arsenal fan is not really healthy , you could went crazy .. out of your mind just like in the last match where the fans cheering on 5th arsenal get conceded .
its indeed stressful times , a frustrating moment and yeah like i said ... its not healthy! lol

one thing i can see if antonio conte replaces arteta , there would be a huge changes .. no more random players being transfered in and get in the line up.

According to reports from England,Arsenal spent much money in this summer transfer market than any other team in England,using 150million pounds to sign six players.

The amount was spent following their disastrous season where they finished 8th on the table and we're not able to qualify for European competition.They are also sitting at the bottom of the table this season despite all the spending on new arrival.We wait to see whether they will sack their present coach Mikel Arteta or not.

That's what happened and I don't understand why Arsenal are still keeping or giving Arteta more chances, because with the bad results last season and the bad results in the first three games I feel Arteta should be replaced. But yes, I don't think Arteta's sacking will happen in the near future or maybe it will stay until the end of the season. I personally don't care about that if Arsenal still put their belief in Arteta, but it's a shame if Arsenal's performance doesn't go well and Arsenal are ready to be relegated.

[Strongkored]

I'm really enjoying this year's premier league. The return of C. Ronaldo to Manchester United made it so interested to many this year

I always enjoy wathcing matches in the EPL, even though Ronaldo doesn't play in it because in my opinion the EPL is the most interesting league and in recent years there has been no dominance of champions, indeed City have won more but almost all titles are determined until the last game so it really doesn't there is dominance.

Maybe what makes the EPL even more interesting is the many star players who play in the EPL, because most EPL teams have good finances.
So teams in the EPL can afford to buy a lot of star players, so if Ronaldo doesn't play in the EPL, the EPL is still the most attractive European league.
I agree that the competition for big teams in the EPL is very interesting, especially this season, several big teams have bought new players,
It is very difficult to predict who will win the EPL trophy this season.

Maybe you are right, but I see why the EPL is an interesting league to follow and watch because of the speed in the game and often teams from other divisions are able to surprise and trouble the top teams, I think if the EPL is interesting only because of the many star players what about LaLiga when two star players competed there but still EPL the focus of many football lovers.

According to reports from England,Arsenal spent much money in this summer transfer market than any other team in England,using 150million pounds to sign six players.

And it's very inversely proportional to Liverpool who only bought 1 player for £36m, source
and their achievement is better than Arsenal so far, hopefully what Arsenal's spent is not left because they definitely expect title
