Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[reagansimms]

~~~

although xabi alonso still has a contract until 2026 if the coach and liverpool both want it to happen. just pay the transfer value according to the clause out will be sorted out and happen. many coaches do the same thing for example graham potter from brighton not even at the end of the season but in the season that is still running graham potter's move from brighton to chelsea at that time.

Juergen Klopp surprising decision to resign from the Reds at the end of this season has led to Xabi Alonso name starting to be linked with Liverpool, but he is not taking this issue too seriously because he is focused on challenging for the Bundesliga and Europa League titles with Bayer Leverkusen. Now every match that Xabi Alonso plays with Bayer Leverkusen is a challenge to help the club give their best at the end of the season.
Accepting an offer from Liverpool while the season was in progress was a detrimental decision for himself because currently Leverkusen is in the best condition, the opportunity to win the title for Leverkusen is very big because they are at the peak of their performance.

I'm surprised Klopp announced he won't extend his contract with Liverpool in the middle of the competition. I think he must keep the secret although it is his right to announce it or not. When he announced it, we are afraid that it will ruin the focus of the players. Liverpool is joining the race for the title in few competitions, they must focus on the matches first.

Well, it won't be easy to get the replacement of Klopp. He is an experienced and reputable coach, there is no many coach at the same level with him in the market. If Liverpool expects to sign Xabi Alonso, it seems hard because Xabi still has a contract with Leverkusen. Besides competing with Real Madrid, they also must wait for until 2026.

I don't think Liverpool president will allow him to go after his contract expire than to look for a way to increase his salary which is the reason Klopp made the announcement on time to touch the mind of Liverpool president to do something fast which I know that the president will do something reasonable soon.

  If Liverpool by mistake allow Klopp to leave without looking into what he has done to bring Liverpool to this current position, which all eyes is on Liverpool to win the trophy this season but if they replaced him ,it will surely affect their performance.

He must have an interesting offers, Klopp is already 9 years with Liverpool and obviously familiar with everything on there. Even though he didn't make Liverpool to win treble, but he already achieve everything with Liverpool.

Klopp might think he already tried his best for Liverpool but Liverpool still not able become the strongest in Premier League. So this decision should be good for the both sides.

Klopp is having long term contract with liverpool but this is coming from his own decision. you can't even intervene it. Klopp sees it as the best decision from him and i do support his decision to leave from the liverpool as soon as possible. Glad to see that xavi will be also doing the same like liverpool.
Im feeling so happy finally xavi will leave from barcelona soon but tim not feeling that good with the decision by klopp but we can only accept it since klopp has decided it based on his personal intention. There's nothing wrong with it but he was just making a shocking announcement at the middle of season.

  If Liverpool by mistake allow Klopp to leave without looking into what he has done to bring Liverpool to this current position, which all eyes is on Liverpool to win the trophy this season but if they replaced him ,it will surely affect their performance.

So, do you think the club needs to force him to stay? klopp has the right to leave from the club anytime he wants. Even when he has been also undercontract with liverpool. The loyality owned by klopp to stay in the liverpool for almost 1 decade has proven that how good hie was for the club.
Liverpool's performance in the upcoming season will be questionable. I do know that if liverpool is still at the top but we are still also concerning about how consistent liverpool is now.

The farewell announcement by klopp has been also touching liverpudlian's heart

Breaking news about Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp had an amazing performance and he got perfect results recently in Liverpool, he is even close to winning the premier league with Liverpool while he is racing with other stronger teams like Arsenal and Manchester City. But Jürgen Klopp recently said he is tired and he is going to leave Liverpool at the end of this season which means Liverpool should start seeking for another coach to take his place in the team.

If Liverpool expects to sign Xabi Alonso, it seems hard because Xabi still has a contract with Leverkusen. Besides competing with Real Madrid, they also must wait for until 2026.

When Klopp announced he wouldn't be extending his contract, many were disappointed because they knew it would be difficult to find a good coach like him in Liverpool. Klopp helped Liverpool win every league title in the Premier League and also made the team's performance look good until his departure. He also stated he wouldn't be coaching any Premier League teams in the future. He will never again coach a Premier League team, not even in times of extreme hunger. This indicates that no Premier League team will even attempt to contact him about returning to assist them as a coach, which is positive in my opinion.

Regarding Xabi Alonso joining Liverpool as their coach, that will be extremely challenging to arrange because he has stated that he is happy in Leverkusen and that if he wants to leave, he will go to Real Madrid instead of Liverpool because the two have an unexplained relationship. However, as Klopp stated, he won't be coaching any Premier League teams again, so perhaps if Real Madrid wants to pursue him, Liverpool will now have the chance to hire Xabi Alonso as their new coach.

[Synchronice]

It is true that there is still quite a lot of time for Liverpool management to find a replacement for Jürgen Klopp, but a team as big as Liverpool will become a topic of public discussion in world football and the rumors that are currently happening are quite normal and also Liverpool management must also be smart and quick in taking action for the coach. which they will aim for.

For the rumors with Steven Gerrard, I think it is almost impossible because Steven Gerrard is not a coach who already has outstanding achievements, quite the opposite.

There is enough time to find a replacement for Jürgen Klopp but the problem is that there isn't someone who can replace him on professional level. I love him very much, I just wish he was a manager of FC Barcelona at one point of his career. Does anyone know whether Klopp plans to retire or not? I am kinda confused, for me his speech felt like he wants to retire because feels a little fatigue but there I see many speculations online that in the next season both, Barça and Liverpool need a new manager and there is a high chance Klopp is going to move in Barça. I wish this is true, this will be amazing but I wish he or his level of manager was in Barca when Guardiola left it.

Klopp made a statement to resign at the end of the season when Liverpool was in good condition, while Xavi said it after Barcelona were beaten by Valencia at home, a situation that was reversed between the two. will choose to take a temporary break from the world of coaching before starting a new adventure. It could be that Klopp has also received an offer to coach a new club after parting ways with Liverpool, but we haven't received any news about where he will go next. It might sound reasonable if Klopp would go to Barcelona, but he can't do much there because the club is experiencing a financial crisis.

Xavi resigned because he felt unable to bring Barcelona to success, at the same time he was not supported by an adequate budget to build a squad according to his wishes. Compared to Liverpool, I think it is more difficult for Barcelona to find a new successor to serve as head coach, because we can see that the financial background of the two clubs is very different. I wish both of them the best for the rest of this season, and of course in the coming season after officially separating, we will definitely miss them both on the sidelines.

This is quite sad news for Liverpool fans because Jürgen Klopp has really succeeded in improving Liverpool's performance since his arrival and he has also given Liverpool fans the trophy that Liverpool fans have long wanted, namely winning the Premier League in the 2018/2019 season.
Jürgen Klopp's decision is quite difficult to understand because Liverpool's performance is currently quite good.

But I think Jürgen Klopp will do his best this season for Liverpool to make a sweet farewell to the Liverpool team.
Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League this season are quite wide open, they have quality and consistency and they are also currently at the top of the Premier League standings.
So it's true that Liverpool players can give everything this season to make the farewell to Jürgen Klopp at the end of the season happier.

Jurgen Klopp announced it early to give the club the opportunity to prepare to find a good replacement for the coaching position that Klopp will leave at the end of this season. And I think that with the Liverpool players knowing that this is Jurgen Klopp's last season at Liverpool, this will actually make the players more enthusiastic about winning the title this season. Because of course everyone at the club wants to give Klopp the best results and give Klopp good memories at the end. So I think that the decision to announce earlier is much better. because it would be bad if he decided not to renew his contract when it was about to expire at the end of the season. This could make Liverpool not ready to be abandoned.

I'm sure Klopp will also try to be better in his final season at Liverpool. He has been a coach at Liverpool for around 8 years and by the end of this season it will probably be 9 years. And I think he should become one of the legendary legends at the Liverpool club as one of the best coaches there.

[Coyster]

I don't think Liverpool president will allow him to go after his contract expire than to look for a way to increase his salary which is the reason Klopp made the announcement on time to touch the mind of Liverpool president to do something fast which I know that the president will do something reasonable soon.

I don't know where you got this information from, but it is completely false. Jurgen Klopp's decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season has nothing to do with his salary/wages, if not he'd be signing for another team straightaway. Klopp made it clear when he was making the announcement that he no longer has the strength to go again and again and he feels it is time to take a break, and definitely the break would be over a year.

Football isn't just about money, there is passion, love, feelings and i am pretty sure Klopp would manage Liverpool for free if it ever came to that, because of the love he has for the club. After this season, he will take a break, spend time with his wife and family and return to management in the future.

[Strongkored]

In the FA Cup Liverpool will play against Norwich City in today's match, and this will clearly be an easy match for Liverpool even though the players may be surprised by their manager's decision but in the next few months, everything should run normally to stay focused on winning the title which is very possible for them to get it if they continue to put up a solid game.
With odds of 1.14 for Liverpool, there is a big chance for this team to score a lot of goals or it could be that Jürgen Klopp will field some of their second-tier players such as their goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher who is often used in easier matches because in the middle of this week they will have to play against Chelsea to continue the competitions in English premier league, even though Chelsea is not like the previous few seasons, they still need to be careful against this team, and this is a quite crucial match for Liverpool because their position is still not safe, because they are only a few points ahead with several teams below them, and I'm sure Klopp will really understand how to get three points in this home match.

Since a few days ago, we have actually discussed this here and it would be Liverpool's success if they could win the Premier League and UEL titles, but it would be a disaster in the next season to lose Klopp, who has provided good achievements for Liverpool for a long time but had to be forced to part ways and Liverpool couldn't stop it.
We all here talked about the candidates that Liverpool would recruit and some of the coaches seemed like Xavi would be more suitable because he has good experience with Barca and I think Liverpool would be better if they had coach Xavi.
In fact, there are many candidates who will become Liverpool coach, such as Xabi, who also rumored to be one of the candidates to replace Klopp, but for me it very difficult condition on one hand, Xabi is having success in Bundesliga it very unlikely that Xabi will leave his club at this time looking to win a title in a big competition.
I would prefer that Xavi be Liverpool coach I'm sure this club will be successful.

[Velvet78]

I agree with people who think Xabi Alonso could be a good replacement for Klopp at Liverpool. Because Xabi Alonso is like a rising star among managers these days. This is the first serious job in his manager career but he has made a great start already.    Being competitive for title in the Bundesliga is very impressive work in presence of a strong Bayern Munich on one hand.

If Real Madrid didn't extend with Ancelotti then maybe they would have brought Xabi Alonso. But at the end of the season I  see a good opportunity for Liverpool to maintain success. Of course there is guarantee for anything but I just believe in Xabi Alonso after what I have seen from him so far.  

So far from them players who have excelled in the Premier League during them playing days haven't done too well with the managerial experience and coaching job. So far I can only boast of Mikel Arteta from the Premier League who have done great job for the gunners.
Players like, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Patrice Vierra and Co's all have flopped it'll be a good time to finally see Xabi Alonso returning having shown what he's with younger players.

He'll for sure be the best replacement for Jurgen Klopp only if Bayern Munich won't snatch him from underneath them nose in broad daylight. I'm keen to see his decisions though.

This is also a point that I refrain from to happen.    Bayern Munich could also try to sign him if they start being uncomfortable with Tuchel's management. If they lose the Bundesliga title chance to Leverkusen at the end of the season then the probability of this would be higher than now. But if they maintain their title series then I don't think they would make such move.

The unsuccessful manager examples you have given are so true. Lampard for example managed Everton for a while and couldn't do more than keeping Everton in the Premier League.

Yes I think Klopp at least kept his key players and fielded a second tier against Norwich City which may not be a threat to Liverpool because they will face Chelsea after that Arsenal, there are two matches that might make it difficult for Liverpool to stay at the top of the standings, against Chelsea and Arsenal of course it will be very difficult considering that the playing time between the two clubs is very close so a lot of preparation is needed.

If Liverpool want to win the title this season they must succeed in getting the full three points from the two matches against Chelsea and Arsenal because what we know are that these two clubs are quite strong and not easy to predict. That's why Liverpool must remain careful in facing them, Klopp must can rotate their players so that they remain in good condition and ensure that the team's player performance is also in good condition, Manchester City is waiting for Liverpool to make mistakes so that when they lose points Manchester City is ready to replace Liverpool at the top of the standings. The competition is quite tight until the end of the season.

Yes, Liverpool will face two difficult weeks because they have to face big teams, currently, Arsenal are still in the championship competition so they will still be determined to win this match, especially since Arsenal will be playing at home and of course this will further motivate Arsenal to beat Liverpool , I think the match against Arsenal is a test for Liverpool even though Liverpool has a better head to head win than Arsenal but still Arsenal is predicted to give Liverpool a surprise, apart from the match against Arsenal, maybe facing Chelsea will be a little easier for Liverpool considering Chelsea's performance which is still not consistent at this time. Klopp has just announced his decision to rest at the end of the season and it looks like this will be able to motivate the Liverpool players to continue winning and make the Premier League trophy a farewell gift to Klopp in end season.

I saw that the odds is not even worth with the risk. I think that liverpool will use the same line up as the previous games. The only thing that will make it different if liverpool may be trying to rotate some players. Im only thinking that if betting on the 1x2 can be considered as easy win but it is not even offering worthy odds.
I would prefer to take under 5 rather than it caused by im sure the total from this game will not be more than 5. Over 3 is also offering a high risk bet too. Liverpool is going to win this game easily but the hardest thing to predict which score that is going to happen soon.

Norwich was a mediocre team and seeing btts looks like impossible to happen with this club. Im only saying based on my experience. Liverpool is now offering the good chance to get easy money but i prefer to took the risk by betting ont he different option.
I think that i will take under 5 for this match. Im sure that liverpool will not score a lot of goals against norwice city. Winning with three points will be good achievement by the club. The team needs only to target FA cup.

I agree with you that football is not all about money, but there is more to it than just a job to earn money. If Klopp wants to get big money, then he can go to the SPL, because there he will definitely get a lot of money.
I see Klopp just wants to take a break from coaching. I also really appreciate him for deciding to step down when Liverpool are in good shape. because he could have done that last season where Liverpool's performance was no better than this season. It was a form of responsibility from him which he did not want to leave this club in a slump. Even now he has the opportunity to present a trophy to accompany his farewell to Liverpool. Yes he has a good chance of winning the Premier League this season.

When Liverpool players find out their coach is leaving, I'm sure every match will be an important moment and will provide an offering for Klopp. This means that in every match, try as hard as possible to achieve victory and continue to maintain a positive trend. The reason is that Klopp certainly doesn't want his decision to make his players not focus on playing. Everyone is required to be professional even though I know the feeling of losing Klopp will be difficult to accept.

Regarding against Norwich City I agree that this will not be a big problem but you still need to be careful because Norwich City on paper is no longer equal to the strength of Liverpool, who this season are in the best performance to win several titles.

[Leviathan.007]

Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool at a time when Liverpool was at the top of the standings and I saw that it was a very unexpected decision, I didn't expect him not to wait until this season was over, reportedly Moh Salah will follow in his footsteps leaving Liverpool, this is really a hard blow for Liverpool.

I think you misread the news because Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of this season and not right now he will leave Liverpool. So Jurgen Klopp still has full responsibility for Liverpool at the top of the standings and at the same time bringing Liverpool to win the EPL. It won't be easy but Jurgen Klopp will try well considering he doesn't have much time left at Liverpool. Maybe Salah has the possibility of leaving and looking at the rumours he is a strong candidate for the first player to leave after Jurgen Klopp left.

The coach is very much available and responsible for Liverpool's current performance which has been positive enough to for this season and going forward alot is still expected to happen with the club and its performance,  this shows how positive and active Klopp is for the club up till this moment,  but whether or not there a possibility for him coach the club beyond this season that is what we can't ascertain at this moment since the coach already hinted his intention to leave the club after this season.
So if Liverpool does well this season, it can become a departure gift for the coach at the end of it all so let's see how things go.

I'm not sure who is going to take the place of Klopp in Liverpool but this can't be easy for anyone to take his place and have this good performance because in the nine years of Klopp has been working in Liverpool, he had an amazing performance in this team and he is famous in the fans of Liverpool which means this can be an extra pressure for any coach who takes the place of him in Liverpool.
