Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[naira]

Next season may not be the end of him in Manchester United as a coach. Manchester City is far beyond their standard and I don’t think anything can be done about that no matter how they try. Eric Ten Hag has a lifeline as the head coach of the team which can be exhausted at anytime, so to make him continue been the best in the league, he has to put that effort to make his team prevail in the midst of many others. He was to have been sacked but his victory at the FA Cup gave him another chance to be where he is today. He wouldn’t joke with this opportunity given to him, so I don’t think next season will be the end of him as he’s seeking to push more for the club. He will try by all means to meet target and remain one of the best clubs in the premier league.

That is if the players he bought are in prime condition for next season, because it would be useless if they were injured like Yoro who had to be absent for 3 months. Therefore Erik Ten Hag was asked not only to improve himself last season, but also to choose the ideal squad composition. Many old and new players were injured. So I will not put high hopes, seeing other squads that are far above United. Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool who were not too aggressive in the transfer market this season, were still able to bring United to their knees in the pre-season match. This means that so far there has been no improvement shown by Erik Ten Hag in preparation for next season.

Chelsea's pre-season match was quite bad and indeed Enzo Maresca must be able to fix this team as soon as possible before the start of the competition and the absence of several new Chelsea players in the pre-season match is also very unfortunate they should have been able to join the match immediately to have close chemistry.

Expecting Chelsea to win a trophy next season I think is too much, this team is in the process of rebuilding their performance and for Enzo Maresca to take this job is not an easy thing.

Honestly I doubt Chelsea next season but I believe in the process that will be carried out by Enzo Maresca, if he is given support and time by Chelsea management maybe one day Enzo Maresca can make Chelsea win a trophy again.

Of course Enzo Maresca needs time with Chelsea, don't expect Chelsea to be strong in the near future even though they have a good squad with Chelsea. Because to become a strong team, the coach must have strong chemistry between players and so far I haven't seen that at Chelsea. The pre-season matches were still very disappointing, they lacked focus and were not sharp. Enzo Maresca must also be able to make his players stop making mistakes over and over again. If Chelsea wants to be a top team again, he must not make those silly mistakes again.

In my opinion, Chelsea also really needs an experienced center back like Silva to provide knowledge to the young players. Because, Chelsea's defense is currently far from good and can win the title. In addition, Chelsea players need intensive passing training and really intense shooting training. All of that can be overcome if Enzo Maresca is given enough time, not just one season, because Chelsea's culture is no longer good to continue, every bad coach is immediately fired. Hopefully Chelsea will not do this again to Enzo Maresca.

So it is clear that Ten Hag's selfish attitude was the main trigger for his failure to bring Manchester United back to its glory days. Therefore, Ten Hag really has to change his attitude if he really wants to be able to bring Manchester United to become champions. And you are right my friend, that this season will definitely be a defining season for Ten Hag. Because if Ten Hag fails this season, he will definitely be fired from Manchester United's coaching.

I removed some part of your post due to how lengthy it is. I don't think Manchester united management is ready to fire Ten Hang because there is no perfect time to fire him than at the end of last season when clubs who were not satisfied with their couch fire them. Everyone expected to wake up to the news of Ten Hang sack but were all shocked hearing that he will continue as the head couch. He has a very good relationship with the management crew and that's what is keeping him. I quite agree that they have players who have potential but then injury is giving them tough time and Ten Hang on the other hand doesn't know how to make good use of the available ones with his preference and selection.

I think Erik Ten Hag hasn't finished fixing the fatal weaknesses in the Man United squad to date. Maybe the presence of Leny Yoro will bring a little fresh air to Man Utd's defense. But after hearing the news that this young defender was injured and even underwent surgery and would be out for 3 months. Hearing this, I became doubtful about Man Utd's defense again. Even when Yoro returns from injury, he certainly won't immediately appear as good as he was before his injury. Erik Ten Hag must be a little confused right now. Because even though the season hasn't started yet, they already have injured players. With these conditions, we really can't expect much from Man Utd, who don't seem to be in optimal condition based on the matches they showed in pre-season.

Both Manchester City and Manchester United both had mediocre pre-season matches. they sometimes lose and sometimes win. But that's all because both of them only play second-tier players and young players. But in the Community Shield match, I think both teams will play with their full strengths. And I am sure Manchester City will win the match. I still doubt Manchester United. And again, we know that Hojlund, who is also an important player for Manchester United's attack line, is still injured. And it's likely that Hojlund will only return after the end of August. So Hojlund will definitely miss the match. Leny Yoro is a new player but he has shown a very good game at the back but he is also still injured and will probably return after the end of October. The point is that Manchester United may not be completely ready. Meanwhile, Manchester City is always ready.

I'm not sure if this is an important match or not what is clear is don't be too confident on one side. Indeed, Manchester City deserves to be the favorite to win because they have a better history and statistics it's just that sometimes the unexpected can happen for example they play young or new players well this can mess up our predictions so it's better to wait a few hours before the match starts to see the starting lineup. By the way so far the sportsbooks Stake.com prefer Manchester City and both teams to score YES and over goals are still the favorites to place bets, I don't think both teams think about playing defensively meaning the fight will go on until the last minute and let's wait for the next 4 days.

Community Shield can be called as warm up match before premier league starting and this is just like a traditional match for every season and the winner of this match indeed will gets the trophy but i think that trophy is not too important but this is derby match and i am sure both teams don't want to lost even their manager Guardiola and Ten Hag has been confirmed that they will playing with all of their key players

This is the repeat match of FA Cup final last season and Manchester United has successfully to beat Manchester City with the final scores 2-1 and this result too makes Manchester United deserved to playing at Europa League and with some of new players at Manchester United it's quite interested to see the performance of Manchester United in this match

The odds for Manchester City is quite low but i think that odds is quite decent to bets besides that i have to agree with you that both teams to scores also could be good pick for this match and about the outcomes of this match i think it's belongs to Manchester City this because although they haven't bought much players but Manchester City is still solid

Last season, before the FA Cup Competition Finals against Manchester City, I can vividly recall you saying same words like this. I have a clear picture of how you said Manchester City would trash Manchester United in that finals and that he'll be sacked immediately after the game.

And like I told you, that's a prediction. People get predictions wrong all the time in football, it's nothing new. If I predicted Manchester City to win but they lost doesn't mean Ten Hag is a superb coach. Even Ole won games against Manchester City while he was Manchester United's manager. Games everybody thought he would lose.

One thing you should allow sink in your head is that, he is not a magician and will not be able to get Manchester United to glory days with these players, same players from Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunner Solskjaer. Until they're gone and players with standards, technique and quality comes in Manchester United will go nowhere.

If you read everything I said you would see that I never implied that Ten Hag is a magician, I have always insisted that Man United have an average squad. What I'm saying is average squad aside, the manager is not doing a good job. Where you're mistaken is thinking because Ten Hag was good at Ajax so he will be good at Man United and I have pointed out to you that football doesn't work like that. A manager can be very good in his former club and be absolute shit in his next and the other way around.

When you watch a team play, it is not very difficult to determine if it's a bad coach bad players or both. In the case of Manchester United, both the players and the coach are bad. Give Ten Hag the best players while at Man United and they won't still be as fearsome are they would be under a good coach.
Also, you have to see that his handpicked signings have not been good either. Don't forget that he handpicked Onana, Antony and Hoijlund. All these players have been underperforming. Money was not the issue because these players were gotten for huge amounts. Frenkie Dejong is the only player he asked for personally that he has not gotten.

When a team can't create chances, they can't keep the ball and maintain position, they concede a lot of shots, you don't need a genius to tell you that the set-up of the coach is the problem. There's no point in being emotional about it, you just have to look at all the facts. The players can't press and they lack confidence and motivation. All these are signs of a coach who is not doing a proper job.
