Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester United's start to the new season has certainly been poor. The way they are losing every match in the beginning, they will surely stumble again towards the end. If United's coach Erik ten Haag could have brought in good players and stars in his team and formed a strong team, they would have had a chance to win the trophy in the EPL this season. But their performance at the beginning of the season cannot speak for them at all, rather it will not be possible for them to move forward with this bad performance. But I think Manchester United players have to be more diligent, as there is still time. Moreover, since the current strategy of the coach is not working, he has to adopt a new and strong strategy, and he has to change the team wisely, but they can stay in the top position.

Manchester United is having bad start to season. If they keep losing they will probably struggle at the end too. Coach Erik Ten Haag had chance to make team better with new players but it has not worked yet. They do not look good right now but I think players can improve if they try harder. Coach needs to think of a new plan and make some changes to the team. If they do this they can still finish high in the league. It's not too late to fix their season.

Manchester United needs to make an overhaul, many players in the Manchester United first team are underperforming and sitting comfortably on huge wages. I don’t know if it is the managers fault for having faith in them or the top management who are reluctant to do away with these set of players. If Manchester United continues like this, there is no way Ten Hag is escaping getting sacked this season.

I still doubt Manchester United can finish in 3rd place this season.

Ten Hag has no strategy to compete with the top teams in the EPL, in the match against Liverpool yesterday it was real proof. we see last season they brought in great players but in reality they could only win the FA Cup and finish in 8th place in the final standings. This season MU has only played 3 matches but there has been no significant change so this season MU will be the same as before.

If Manchester United continues like this, there is no way Ten Hag is escaping getting sacked this season.

Manchester United teams usually have a number of weaknesses, usually abuse of power by the top management. Because so many expensive players have passed the time, Ten Haag is usually involved in this problem.
Therefore, if these weaknesses of the Manchester United team are not solved, the Manchester United team will not be able to perform well, because this season they are slowly going to the bottom of the points table. So many gamblers are not willing to bet on Manchester United team, and Manchester United team is going out of favor of gamblers.

Manchester United needs to make an overhaul, many players in the Manchester United first team are underperforming and sitting comfortably on huge wages. I don’t know if it is the managers fault for having faith in them or the top management who are reluctant to do away with these set of players. If Manchester United continues like this, there is no way Ten Hag is escaping getting sacked this season.

If Manchester United management is planning to sack Ten Hag, I don't think he will make it to this season at the club, this team has performed very poorly over the last two seasons, and the management decides not to sack him to hire another manager, even this season, I don't think the management will sack him when their performance does not improve from last season because the team management believes Ten Hag is capable of improving the team's performance, I believe we will only see another name as Manchester United manager after Ten Hag's contract with the club expires since the team does not see a better manager than him at present.

However, Ten Hag has some of the blame because they gave him the resources he needed to build the team, but this season Manchester United played like a team that was promoted to the Premier League. Before the season started, I read the news that Manchester United had extended Jonny Evans's contract, so I started to doubt that they were going to perform the way they did the previous year because which team would sign Evans unless they didn't want their performance to be great.

Erik Ten Hag clearly has not made any impact since he entered Old Trafford, even though if you look at the amount of investment, the Red Devils are already able to compete at the top of the standings. I think United management must immediately evaluate the Dutchman's performance if they want their team to be able to compete at the top of the EPL.

I think the coach has to be more responsible than the players to win the match in football. Game planning is very important to win matches, which is done by a coach. Here the players are only part of the plan. But I am not saying that even if the players have no contribution to win the match. Players also have to fulfill a big responsibility to win the match. But the biggest game is played by a coach off the field. If a coach fails then it is almost impossible for the team to be consistent. One thing I always say, a good coach can do great things with a bad player. Because a good coach can tailor his players and play according to his needs. But an incompetent coach cannot do much with a skilled player. Because the coach is the biggest player and the player is the puppet of the coach. In this case there should be good relationship and good understanding between a coach and players.

From this point of view, I think Manchester United's coach Ten Haag is showing inefficiency. He's got a lot of time to prove himself but he's down on his game. I think there is a flaw in his match planning and understanding between the players. That's why despite having skilled players in the Manchester United team, there is failure in them. I think for Manchester United to improve they should ask their coach to innovate the match plan and work harder with the team for better match results. Although there is no shortage of skilled players in their team, I feel that there is a lack of adequate planning.

I totally agree with you. I also personally think that if a team wants good results, the role of the coach is more important than the players. If the coach is not experienced, it is not possible for any team to achieve good results in the long run. As an example we can look at the PSG team. In the last few years we have seen that PSG's squad has been very strong. But they did not have an experienced coach. So despite having a very strong squad, PSG can't do well.

On the other hand, last season we saw the performance of the Leverkusen team. Leverkusen did not have any star players in their squad. The squad was also not very strong. But they had an experienced and hardworking coach like Xabi Alonso. So this team was able to perform well in the entire season.

I wouldn't call Manchester United's squad weak. It is possible to perform well with this squad only if the coach is experienced. I think Manchester United's overall situation will change if they appoint an experienced coach.

I also agree with you, The main backbone of a team is a responsible coach of that team. A coach is the most important behind the success of a team. A team can maintain a good consistency on the playing field due to the good practice of a responsible coach. And currently everyone dislikes the coach of Manchester United team, because currently no player of Manchester United team is performing well in Erik ten Hag's practice. They are losing most of the games, even against some weak teams, they are not able to survive. Manchester United team needs another responsible coach to replace Erik ten Hag at the moment, but Manchester United will be back again in great form.

Be responsible with your job is good but not enough. You must be capable of doing a good job too and to achieve it, responsibility is not enough. You need other things like capability in tactics and management so that you can draw a long term good strategy of team development while in short- and medium-term, you will still be able to ensure acceptable results for the team.

I don't call Ten Hag is irresponsible head coach but to say him as a great coach, I don't think so.

Yes, it seems that this season is again difficult for Manchester United to break into the top three, in my opinion they will also find it difficult to break into the top four or reach the Champions League zone. Erik Ten Hag clearly has not made any impact since he entered Old Trafford, even though if you look at the amount of investment, the Red Devils are already able to compete at the top of the standings.

Erik Ten Hag has been given enough time with more than two seasons and enough budget to buy many players to improve their squad in his favorite plans but he has failed seriously with his plan. This season can be a last chance for him to rescue his job in Manchester United but it seems early matches are more likely strong warnings that he is counting down very last matches in the club.

Manchester United is having bad start to season. If they keep losing they will probably struggle at the end too. Coach Erik Ten Haag had chance to make team better with new players but it has not worked yet. They do not look good right now but I think players can improve if they try harder. Coach needs to think of a new plan and make some changes to the team. If they do this they can still finish high in the league. It's not too late to fix their season.

I still doubt Manchester United can finish in 3rd place this season.

Ten Hag has no strategy to compete with the top teams in the EPL, in the match against Liverpool yesterday it was real proof. we see last season they brought in great players but in reality they could only win the FA Cup and finish in 8th place in the final standings. This season MU has only played 3 matches but there has been no significant change so this season MU will be the same as before.

No doubt but I guarantee Man United will not touch position 2 in the final standings this season. Because it is too difficult to step over Arsenal and Liverpool. So there is no guarantee whatsoever for the Red Devils who are stumbling without direction in every match. The most maximum thing for Man United is to occupy position 5 or 6 at the end of the season. I am not underestimating them but considering the fact that the depth of Man United squad and the front line are not sharp, this club is unable to take advantage of every opportunity that exists. This weekend we will see them against Southampton even though on paper Man United has a high chance, it is not a guarantee that 3 points can be obtained easily.

Try to think so far who is the spearhead of Man United that can be relied on? none

Well, Ten Hag can no longer go back to the past to fix his mistakes, he only has the opportunity to organize the future. Referring to Manchester United match schedule between September and October above, Ten Hag should be able to build momentum to create consistency, in the Premier League and Europa League, which can eventually get him out of pressure and avoid being fired. It is still too early to talk about the end of the season and where they will finish, now Ten Hag must think about how to win when facing their opponents. On paper, based on the depth of the squad that Ten Hag has, he should be able to lead Manchester United to secure full points in the period, because the majority of opponents they face are not elite and dominant clubs. By utilizing the available players while hoping that those who are injured can return quickly, Ten Hag should be able to make the most of this opportunity.

The international break has been Arsenal's nightmare as several of their players are confirmed to be absent for the North London derby. Some of those names include Merino, Calafiori, and Odegaard and honestly this is not good news for Mikel Arteta's squad. For Calafiori, maybe he was just unlucky because when Italy played against France, he accidentally fell on Dembele's body and it immediately hit his leg so he had to be pulled out. On the other hand, Norway's victory against Austria had to be paid dearly with Odegaard's ankle injury and clearly this is also detrimental to Arsenal considering that this week they will play a tough match.

Arsenal must try hard to win after failing to get three points in the previous match and this time they have to go away to face Spurs. The result will certainly not be beneficial for Arsenal and on the contrary this is an opportunity for Ange's squad to get 3 points. Even a few days later, Arsenal must face another tough match against Atalanta in the Champions League and honestly they will not be completely safe.

This is a tragic news. two midfielders and one defender all of them are quality players. Their absence will affect the team and that is very bad if they can't win their next game after drawing to Brighton. Don't forget that Decaknd Rice a defensive midfielder had a red card in the last match and won't be playing also in the upcoming one. This is a lot of loss for Arsenal at this early stage in the league.

Arsenal against Tottenham is a very strong game. They have to win that game. However, there will be a reshuffle in the players. Jurrnie Timber will substitute for Odegard's position. Thomas Partey will hold the defensive midfield alongside Jorginho. This will work well for the team and if they can keep the play on till the game is over.

A total of 20 teams participate in the English Premier League, and the 14th team is Manchester United, that is, by looking at their point table, you can get an idea of their performance. I don't know if Manchester United is satisfied with their performance but I can never accept their position as I consider Manchester United to be a traditional club. A few seasons back Manchester United were not so bad but recently their performance has deteriorated so much that every season they end the season in a weak position. Although it is early in the season, no one expected what they achieved on the first day of the match. Manchester United have only collected 3 points from their first three matches while other teams that many people don't know about are better placed than Manchester United. 

There is still full time left of the season and if they do not plan properly from now on, their position will be at the bottom of the points table at the end of the season.

[Promocodeudo]

Even if manchester united can win their upcomming matches then i would say manchester united should look for new coach. Ten Hag has been afforded plenty of time and opportunities by Manchester United. But he was not able to make any visible improvement in this team. Just as we saw erratic performances from this team last season, we are witnessing a similar performance from United this season.

I think the coach has to be more responsible than the players to win the match in football. Game planning is very important to win matches, which is done by a coach. Here the players are only part of the plan. But I am not saying that even if the players have no contribution to win the match. Players also have to fulfill a big responsibility to win the match.

But an incompetent coach cannot do much with a skilled player. Because the coach is the biggest player and the player is the puppet of the coach. In this case there should be good relationship and good understanding between a coach and players.

From this point of view, I think Manchester United's coach Ten Haag is showing inefficiency. He's got a lot of time to prove himself but he's down on his game. I think there is a flaw in his match planning and understanding between the players. That's why despite having skilled players in the Manchester United team, there is failure in them. I think for Manchester United to improve they should ask their coach to innovate the match plan and work harder with the team for better match results. Although there is no shortage of skilled players in their team, I feel that there is a lack of adequate planning.

Exactly, the result gotten by a football team in a particular match is been determined by how prepared the team is to tackle their opponents and this preparedness is been masterminded by the manager, the manager is the head of a football team, everyone believes that the performance of a team is as a result of the imstruction of their manager.
It is the utmost responsibility of the manager to instruct his boys on what to do in the pitch and if they fail to act according they should be questioned for that, although we have also seen where players disrespect managers but it is rare for such to have, in the case of Manchester United the coach has been pointed out and I think he should retraced his steps and it his team together, I won't say player don't have their own task to perform, am only saying that for players to do their job adequately, the coaching pattern of the manager should be smart in a way that won't affect the team performance.

Talking about Ten Haag having a lot of time it true but the owner may run out patience if this lapses persist, no one will want to see his football team going into jeopardy, let's not forget that, Manchester United is an establishment that momey was invested on as such profit is needed too, how will the club make money if the fans decide not watch their and partake in other things that will fetch the club money, I think Ten Haag should rethink work to salvage the situation at hand.

[Mayor of ogba]

I also think Manchester United fans must be sad to see their support team still not playing well and at the beginning of this season only won 1 time, namely against Fulham with a score of 0-1 and the last 2 matches of course against Brighton and Liverpool Manchester United lost and of course this will definitely make Manchester United fans sad.

Their fans will have more disappointment in this season as I believe their players won't have much better performances and their head coach will struggle to deploy his tactical idea on his players. This season starts to be very tough for Ten Hag and he is facing with big risk of being sacked.

I have no ideas why Manchester United decided to continue with Ten Hag after the end of last season while many people and media predicted that he will lose his job. He luckily got good support and belief from Manchester United but his luckiness might end anytime in this season. Performances at least need to be convincing and results must be acceptable. If Ten Hag gets both of these things bad or one of them is bad, his risk to be sacked is not small.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag's success in presenting the FA Cup title is the reason for management to retain him. I think if that is the reason, it certainly does not match the large investment value that has been disbursed. Of course, anyone would be disappointed if the performance of their favorite team does not experience significant changes. I think it is time for management to give an ultimatum to Ten Hag so that he can improve the team's performance.

Yes, the FA Cup trophy was the reason why Erik Ten Hag was given another opportunity to remain as Manchester United's head coach because Manchester United's management believes Erik Ten Hag would turn things around in Manchester United this season. But from what Erik Ten Hag has shown in the Premier League so far, it seems like Erik Ten Hag would not live up to the expectations of Manchester United management. If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.

[Raflesia]

It is difficult for Manchester United to be able to talk much this season, we can judge from several results of the matches that have been passed that they will stumble again. Yes, Erik Ten Hag should be able to bring in players who are truly mature and according to the team's needs. I think Ten Hag has wasted quite a lot of money and it can be said to be quite wasteful. I do not understand the current situation at United, with such a large investment value, the Red Devils should have been able to compete closely at the top. The thing that is most glorified by them at this time is only because they were able to get the FA Cup trophy even though that was not the main target they wanted to hunt. I think Erik Ten Hag should be dismissed immediately if they lose again.

Bringing in players in the end cannot be a good option for Manchester United in this case because in the last few seasons or this season alone as an example where some players who have been brought in in the end cannot be a benchmark they can work well.

By looking at this we actually know that there is an inability that Ten Hag has in realizing the plans he wants to build in his squad.
Now 3 matches with 2 defeats and 1 win actually although there was a good situation for the victory in last week's match but Ten Hag still has to try more to make his squad better because when the situation remains the same then I think there will again be criticism that he will receive later.

Btw I see the current top score where when the match is only 3 times but seeing Haaland's productivity seems unstoppable where he has scored 7 goals out of a total of 9 goals recorded by Manchester City in their 3 matches.
This is really crazy for a player who is 24 years old.

[Helena Yu]

This is a tragic news. two midfielders and one defender all of them are quality players. Their absence will affect the team and that is very bad if they can't win their next game after drawing to Brighton. Don't forget that Decaknd Rice a defensive midfielder had a red card in the last match and won't be playing also in the upcoming one. This is a lot of loss for Arsenal at this early stage in the league.

Arsenal against Tottenham is a very strong game. They have to win that game. However, there will be a reshuffle in the players. Jurrnie Timber will substitute for Odegard's position. Thomas Partey will hold the defensive midfield alongside Jorginho. This will work well for the team and if they can keep the play on till the game is over.

Havertz and Trossard might likely rotate to midfielder positions, but this will make them have no player to back up on striker positions. Arsenal need to use all of their players, unfortunately they can't sign more players since the transfer window was closed.

The match will held in Tottenham stadium, this gives more disadvantage to Arsenal.

Considering Tottenham isn't in shape, I guess the match will end in draw.

[hyudien]

It is reported that Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw and Lindelof have been able to return to the field after their injuries, so with the addition of these 3 players, the away match against Southampton could give Erik Ten Hag additional ammunition. But once again the big question is can Erik Ten Hag concoct a strategy? Then on the home side, Southampton does not want to lose easily, especially playing at home, making it a demand for Southampton to show their best performance for the fans. In terms of opportunities, the home team has a plus point and can make it difficult for the opponent.

If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.

The club will definitely be very disappointed with their choice to keep Ten Hag just because they succeeded in making Man United win the FA Cup after Man United lost their good position in the Premier League. But winning against Southampton won't be difficult for this team. Because so far Man United has only lost to teams that are considered quite strong in the Premier League, such as Brighton and Liverpool. But they managed to win against an ordinary team like Fullham. And I don't think Southampton will be an opponent that will make things difficult for Man United. Even though Man United is not in good condition, it feels like they can beat Southampton. So I might even bet on them.

Arsenal is in good shape and the match will end up 2-1 arsenal wins the derby easily at the home ground of Tottenham. The positions of Havertz and Trossard are good in midfield because they can give some good passes towards goal post

[Catenaccio]

Yes, the FA Cup trophy was the reason why Erik Ten Hag was given another opportunity to remain as Manchester United's head coach because Manchester United's management believes Erik Ten Hag would turn things around in Manchester United this season. But from what Erik Ten Hag has shown in the Premier League so far, it seems like Erik Ten Hag would not live up to the expectations of Manchester United management. If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.

If it is a real reason for that big decision, it's hilarious as FA Cup trophy is not comparable to Europa League trophy that won by Mourinho. Mourinho was fired while Ten Hag with poorer performances, less valuable trophy was kept, this decision is a big joke. Ten Hag was very lucky to get this hilarious support from Manchester United, and it looks like an unconditional support for him. It's big different support from Manchester United compared to what Mourinho received seasons ago. They sacked Mourinho, because they wanted to keep Paul Pogba in their club and after several years, we saw what they got with Pogba, nothing considerable.

The club will definitely be very disappointed with their choice to keep Ten Hag just because they succeeded in making Man United win the FA Cup after Man United lost their good position in the Premier League. But winning against Southampton won't be difficult for this team.

Tasks for Ten Hag in this season can be top four in Premier League and as far adventure as possible in Europa League. Chance for them to win Europa League trophy is very small if not say nearly impossible. Top four in Premier League can be impossible for them to if they continue with similar bad performances like early matches so far.

If Man United can only win against weak teams and always loses to teams that are quite strong, then it will be difficult for Man United to get a good place this season, such as fourth place. Because as far as we can see, currently there are Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Aston Villa which look like they will be able to compete strongly. Even Chelsea and Tottenham are still better than Man United so far. So Ten Hag's journey to bring Man United to 4th place feels like it is impossible. But basically nothing is impossible. Because they could rise from next week.
