Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[zuzie]

My sadness is that Man United is not getting it right.

I've heard that Ronaldo is not happy with the new coach's approach in the first place, and with him the whole team is unhappy. Rumours are starting to circulate online that Cristiano might even move to Barcelona. It sounds like real nonsense. Perhaps because of the perpetual dissatisfaction with the coach, the devils are not getting anything good on the pitch...

As far as I know Ronaldo is not a person who likes to disagree with the coach but the main problem is sometimes in teammates. After all, Ronaldo is not the only one who is responsible for this defeat other players also have the same responsibility. But it is indeed difficult to guess what really happened there, Manchester is not stable in several matches that make fans confused.

MU's performance since Ronaldo came is actually a little bit stiff, maybe he was a superstar, the various ways strategy be used from the coach for him on the front, but still not match yet. we shouldn't blame the coach, maybe we have to look at Ronaldo when he didn't get the ball, he will grumble, why don't give it to him, it should make another player awry then mess up the confidence each other. Maybe, we have to put him on the bench for a few moments before selling it in summer.

Good idea Ronaldo's contribution doesn't look optimal yet we see more of his selfishness in the field these criteria don't fit at Manchester United
If Manchester united is out of the top 10 this season I'm sure Ronaldo will be sold then Manchester must be able to build harmony again
I'm not sure the coach is the main reason  so don't blame the coach the most fatal mistake is the loss of harmony in the team

Do you think that by selling Ronaldo everything will work out? I don't think so, because what Man United needs right now is motivation and of course solid teamwork. Building a team with strong chemistry is not something that can be easily achieved and for that, it needs synergy from the coach and the Man United players.

Man United has a lot of great players, and what Rangnick should have done is unite them so that they can turn into a squad that is feared by all teams in the Premier League.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Manchester United are just helpless against Wolves now.

The team is basically helpless against all the other teams out there right now, heck yeah it was even a draw against Newcastle which is one of the worst team in EPL. Rangnick's strategy doesnt seems to work out with the current squad and we are so much worse compared to when Carrick took over as interim manager, this is basically a hard truth that I need to swallow as a fans.

The way Rangnick set up, you were never going to get control of the ball. Just press high and don’t keep possessive play. The players didn't know what was needed of them. Myself watching I could tell same. They don't know the kind of football they should play. Possessive game or high crosses. They didn't know what was needed of them. They were clueless. One thing is for sure, you have to have the right players, it doesn't matter what system you play. I think he's making up systems. There was no real identity of how they were trying to play. I think Ralf need to pick a perfect formation to suit the materials at hand. You have six months to coach half way into a season and you will be out of coaching and you are thinking of building a system. How long did tuchel use to turn Chelsea into winners.

The last result of Man United makes me feel that Ragnick is not even better than Carrick, anyone agree with me? For me, Carrick knows how to set the strategy and lineups better than Ragnick.

Man United has a lot of great players, and what Rangnick should have done is unite them so that they can turn into a squad that is feared by all teams in the Premier League.

Unfortunately Ragnick seems to be not having enough skill/ability how to unite the talented players he has at the moment. I have to say he is a bit similar to Ole, less innovation and variation.

Carrick has only had a few games as Man United coach, I can't say he's better than Rangnick, and compared both I think that's quite unfair.
The defeat against Wolves at Old Trafford very disappointing and they missed the opportunity to reduce the points gap with Arsenal and West Ham, this should also be the moment they pass Tottenham.

Rangnick must have tried it but as usual great players are not easy to put together I saw the gap happened when Ronaldo came to Manchester United maybe because of jealousy
If Ronaldo really brings problems or burdens to the club there is no harm in selling him after all Manchester still has other players. this decision can be taken after seeing the final results of the season.

Jealousy is a natural thing considering that there are so many great players in a squad. But I think this jealousy should be used as motivation to be the best so that it will also provide something positive for the team.

Ronaldo is indeed a superstar, but I don't think that's why he became a starter. Ronaldo became the first choice because he still has a sharp instinct in scoring goals (although he is no longer young), besides that, Ronaldo is a figure who always gives encouragement to his teammates.

At the start of the season, when Ronaldo just joined the squad, Man United's performance looks promising and their teamwork looks pretty good. So if Rangnick is capable, he should be able to bring Man United back to that form again. It's not an easy task, but it's not something impossible to achieve.

Each coach has a different capacity and ability so the final result of each season will never be the same. The Premier League is one of the best competition in the world today, there are many great coach and also many top players who are in various teams so the competition to be the best team is very difficult when the motivation and performance of the players are not as expected.

Rangnick has given his best for Manchester United, he is a coach who brings a lot of change to the team. I wouldn't say it was bad just because of the shock defeat to Wolves, it's normal when players struggle to score goals and opposing players are more motivated to win. Perhaps the year-end celebration had a negative impact on player fitness, this should be one of the reasons why Wolves were better throughout the match.

Gone are the days when players were singled out, Nowadays everything is managers fault. Most of these players expect the team to already be winning and successful for them to play good they haven’t got what it takes to start from scratch they expect everything given to them. These players have been getting away with playing poorly most games for 2 and a half seasons. Give some of the youngers a chance and move on alot of this dead weight.

selling ronaldo is not a right decision, he can be parked temporarily on the bench for a few games instead of selling it, and put on if the situation or strategy allowed and I think CR is a person who has high standards in matches and he is the right person to motivate his teammates, even though he is quite old, his performance is not what it used to be when under the SAF. So I think it's the team's fault with the manager, so it's unethical to blame individuals.

I think with few match only for Manchester United I think Carrick have more experience than Rangnick just pass few match only for Manchester United and he need time how to make United back to great team. I think loss from Wolves 0-1 on Old Trafford I think bad achievement by Rangnick because he can't make United get competitive on top position standing at primer league, now they out to seventh position standing and left four points from Arsenal as last position standing for champion league, I think if United playing with bad performance will make them less chance back to champion league next season.

[hahay]

Some say the sacking of Ole was something exact and replacing him with Rangnick but unfortunately, I assume that Ole and Rangnick are not much different from not being able to get the team to be consistent. Instead of signing Rangnick I would prefer Michael Carrick at least given a chance until the end of this season, because I feel Carrick is the right person or coach for Manchester City and not bring in a new coach in the middle of the competition because this problem keeps recurring at Manchester United.

He's been here a month, what did you expect? United's team is so unbalanced, there is not much that a manager can do instantly. For example - it took Klopp 3 years to make Liverpool into what it is today.

Look at United's lineup yesterday - in some areas of the team you have a feeling that you are watching Burnley. Wan Bissaka, Phil Jones and Scott McTominay could not move the ball forward in the Championship, let alone in a high press/high tempo Premier League game.
It was funny to see Cavani trying to drop deep - he simply cannot play that. On some occasions it looked like he is playing with this team for the first time ever.

United has so many issues - it will take a good manager and a lot of time to fix them.

[tokeweed]

Wolves really destroyed United in the first 45 minutes. They are unlucky not to be leading, United is too static in all zones of the pitch.
The Cavani - Ronaldo forward line is simply not giving enough defensively, and everything has already been said multiple times about United's centre midfield. It is clear as day again today that Matić - McTominay duo simply cannot create anything meaningful. That is especially the case when forwards don't drop back to get the ball, which neither Cavani or Ronaldo are doing.

It would be logical to expect Wolves to win this one but we've seen United get out of these games with 3 points too many times before. Still, I think they are awful today and I don't see them getting anything out of this one. Wolves to win in the 2nd.

Yup.  McTominay has to go, Matic has to go and Fred has to go.  And when I pointed that out in the other EPL thread, a couple of guys somewhat and indirectly said they were good players.  I mean LMAO.  They’re prolly not watching the matches.  And Rangnick should give up with this 4 - 2 - 2 - 2.  It’s not working...  Except for that first half vs Burnley.  

Oh and one of the biggest flops, of not the biggest flop in the EPL this season?  It’s none other than Jadon Sancho.  Sad... 

[ILuckyGuyI]

Manchester United really disappointed me last night. They could have won against Wolves if they were able to play much better than that. But they were not even effective in offense. It was looking like that they wouldn't be able to keep the score to the end either. Because Wolves were playing really strongly and trying their best to get ahead and be victorious. This was their best chance against Manchester United in the end. And Moutinho's great shot to the corner ended up with a goal. And they won by 1-0. Manchester United got a very critical chance with Bruno Fernandes before this goal actually. But his shot bounced off the goal post. If it ended up with a goal, then things could have been completely different than this.

[Woodie]

Manchester uniteds nightmares continue has they have failed to collect all 3 points in consecutive games...and i believe the confusion is coming from the pressure of the January transfer rumors of several players believed to be leaving the club which has really destabilized the mood and motivation around the players. Because these guys arent sure who leaves and who stays winning is not on the cards for now.

I very much don't go with the phrase 'Maybe he was a superstar ' because, he is indeed a superstar just in the wrong team. In that regard, we ought to get so.etjing straight here, this is football and football is a 22 men team with 11men making each team. That being that, I'm quite aware CR7 grumbles a lot when not given a ball, especially when the ball gets lost either as over or throw or is caught by the goalkeeper. At times, even if you eventually score the goal and he feels he was in position and needed to make that net, he still would grumble. Its a thing about CR7,  his often about the teams success through himself and when that doesn't happen, he becomes the most talked about, haven't been on the team and the team still looses. Surely he would grumble because, his not been left out and one man doesn't make a team.

Many people think Michael Carrick should be given more opportunities as interim coach, especially when Carrick became interim coach,
Man United's performance was quite satisfactory. Managed to beat Villarreal and Arsenal, then draw with Chelsea. Meanwhile, when Rangnick
was the interim coach of Man United, only when facing Burnley did Man United play well. The rest was very disappointing, even Man United
was only able to win with a score of 1-0 from Crystal Palace and Norwich which is a weak team. After that, Man United drew with Newcastle,
who was also a weak team, and was finally defeated by Wolves. Maybe Rangnick still needs adaptation to make Man United play consistently,
while Carrick has been at Man United for quite a while. Even from 2006-2018 Carrick was already a senior player at Man United, so Carrick was
already familiar with Man United's game. So it's not surprising that Man United's performance was very good when Carrick became interim coach.
But the decision has been made, So Rangnick will be the interim coach of Man United, so we give Rangnick a chance until the end of this season.
Hopefully Man United's performance will improve in the next game.
