Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[tulusikhlas]

Between the teams fighting for the top four who really need to strengthen its squad this January transfer window most. Manchester United, arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.united needs creative midfielders, arsenal need a striker and Tottenham need a right back and a central midfielder.

If I look at Manchester United I focus more on the heart of their defence. In some games their defense always makes unnecessary blunders, and that must be corrected. Manchester United need to be grateful because they have a goalkeeper like David de Gea. I imagine if it wasn't for him in goal, Manchester United would have had some disappointing results.

I am a non UK person who watches Premier League games. And since a few months now I even watch Italian League games. But it is the same for me supporting a local team and a foreign team,,, I support only the team and the players and coach and style. I am not a crazy fan hating others, I do not even know the birthday of my favorite players like Son!

I just like watching good football. But as a supporter, you also feel the "enjoyment" of your rivals not doing well. I do not think this is about where you are from. I believe in this thead 10% maximum of supporters are even from the same city as the club. I for sure never seen London,,, I do not even know where my club stadium is if you throw me in UK

In my case, I do not have rivals because I do not have teams that I support. I mean I love some players from city, love some from Liverpool, love some from united, so I can't just feel happy about one team being better because others are doing worse. So for me, it is all about watching good quality football.

I love watching premier league and la liga because if you ask me that is the two best leagues in the entire world and I do not think that we would ever get any better leagues for a while as well, they are just great. Watching Bayern is great too, I would love to see them lose championship just once to feel at ease to be fair but watching them play is great, and watching PSG feels great too, but those are just one team, so I could be considered "fans" for them since other teams are not enjoyable.

Premier league is not like that, they have 10-12 teams that I love to watch, hell even Southampton, watford, leeds trio at the bottom is great to watch because 2 of them had crypto sponsorship and leeds had docuseries.

The difference point between the four to eight ranks was so narrow. Predicting from now on is very difficult, but I think Man United will fight for this place. The reason is UCL, they would be embarrassed if they couldn't get to UCL next season. Although many other teams are struggling I think Man United are the favourites. Rangnick is starting to change the philosophy of Man United players it seems they are performing better. Although there will still be a lot of games I'm sure they'll be there.

It's not just about UCL, but it's also important for MU to keep its star player, CR7. Because, CR7 has made a statement that he will not extend his contract with United if failed to enter the UCL next season. If this really happens, it will be a loss for United, both in terms of the quality of the players and also for their finances, because we know CR7 merchandise sales is still in demand in the market. however, CR7 must also be able to ensure that he is still worthy to pose such a threat, because so far his performance in my opinion is not at his best.

I beg to disagree that Manchester United are performing any better since the appointment of Ragnick, they are still struggling and have dropped points in games that they really should be winning very comfortably; though that's not to say they wouldn't compete for the fourth position, of course they will, but I'll not be tipping them to get it ahead of the others. Arsenal and Spurs also look pretty strong for that position, I feel it's between those three teams, West Ham aren't doing any badly, but I don't think they will be able to get in there ahead of these teams, it's really tight, and I'm sure it'll be that way till the end of the season.

Manchester defense and midfield should get more attention from the management of Manchester now, not just the time of Rangnick, the fragility of their defense has been seen since OGS was still coaching Manchester at that time, the many miscommunications that occurred between players made their defense too easy for opponents to penetrate, besides it's maguire and even fred often makes silly mistakes in anticipating the opponent attack and in my opinion only varane might be worth defending as a defender by manchester right now

Manchester hasn't made any significant improvement but it's obvious they are far better under Ragnick management compared to Ole's. Manchester has one of the best teams in the English premier league but the are lacking coordination and team work. They might be 4th on the table it's not a clear picture of improvement we all know they got there due to west Ham's mistake and I'm not seeing any possibility of united maintaining the fourth position or going higher with their current performance

I think they will maintain it as they have shown somewhat better consistency compared to their direct competitor and they also won their direct match against West Ham.West Ham has made mistakes even with weaker teams,Manchester also has made mistakes but I think they have the better quality players compared to West Ham to at least keep the 4th place.We have a lot of days off before Premier League action starts again at 8 February beside having one postponed match at 5 February so the teams will be at full capacity during the next fixtures.

however, CR7 must also be able to ensure that he is still worthy to pose such a threat, because so far his performance in my opinion is not at his best.

It's very difficult and sad to see Man United's football game for a few years. I followed Ronaldo's debut at Man United if Scholes, Flecter, Vidic and Ferdinand still play, it was very different. The flow of the ball and their fighting power was fantastic. Today Man United look weak, even the flow of possession looks bad. Even today Man United lose to Man City for game.
Ronaldo is not maximal because he doesn't get the ball well, even I see he has to help defend. The connections between Man United's current players still don't look solid, so they often rush and make unnecessary mistakes.

Coordination in the Man United match is indeed very weak, no matter how expensive and great a player can be, will not be able to win a match alone, it takes very good teamwork to be able to finish the match with a score that matches expectations but in fact we know, the passes given between players  just not so good.

It's not all responsibility of Ronaldo. He joined them since the summer and their issues are not new and not only exist in this season. Ronaldo came and brought more goals for Manchester United but he makes their defense ability down because he does not try to hunt for ball like other players.

So with Ronaldo in a team, you must provide him good passes, more balls and he might score goals for you. However, the disadvantage is you will have to allocate more tasks for other players to fight against counter attack of opponent. Ronaldo is useless in this task. His appearance probably bring conflicts and break down a whole team. However, if other players fail to play together, and connect with each other, it is not all belong to Ronaldo effect.

[Fesatmas]

well manchester united are very lucky for the next games, they will be playing against very weak teams so i think they will be guaranteed to get 6 or 9 points but that doesn't convince me that they managed to finish in 4th position

That will be a big enough hope for Ronaldo and his friends to be better prepared to make big steps. It takes a revival and makes every game like a final. The reason, is Manchester United has slightly improved performance, although not too significant. I really hope Manchester United will make good use of this situation. Weaker clubs have made thorough preparations and now is the time for Manchester United to be able to keep it away from West Ham, a thin point is quite dangerous for them.

[KTChampions]

Yeah right, I'd rather have Chelsea to win the league if United cant take the top spot lol ( well obviously its close to to impossible at this point ). Anyway EPL is not going to turn into Bundesliga atleast not for now because aside from City dominating the league for the last 4 years, the quality of the other teams are also increasing which is why its getting harder for most top team to stay on top nowadays

Its still the best league period and Its getting interesting with Newcastle pumping cash into their club next season

If Newcastle can't get out of the relegation zone, then this pumping of money will not affect the EPL in any way (at least next year)  It will be funny if this really happens, but still I am sure that Newcastle will be able to avoid this scenario and starting next season will already successfully solve serious problems, and not the "interim" in the form of a return to the EPL.

Whether ronaldo performance in manchester today may be influenced by the age factor and also his inappropriate duet?
 we know ronaldo should have a duet friend who is really able to support him on the front lines as happened in the past, we can see how ronaldo performance in a duet with Benzema and Ozil at Madrid and it made Ronaldo performance quite crazy, just like when Ronaldo was still playing at Manchester, at that time Wayne Rooney could give Ronaldo the freedom to get past his opponents and they improvised well so it was quite dangerous for the opponent goal.
I think if Manchester now wants to improve Ronaldo performance on the field, Manchester should be able to find a good enough duet partner for Ronaldo.

[randegibran]

I think it's much better to say it's difficult to predict the team that will finish in 4th position, cause it's more or less pretty certain that 1st to 3rd is going to be occupied by City, Liverpool and Chelsea, in no particular order yet, cause the season is still quite long, but 4th position is yet to be decided as quite a lot of teams are going to battle themselves for it down to the end which will make things more interesting and intriguing.

indeed Manchester united is currently in a positive trend to get a ticket for the top 4 positions towards the Champions League next season but we should not underestimate teams such as west ham united Arsenal and also Tottenham hotspurs because they have the same opportunities as Manchester united to towards the Champions League zone next season, moreover Arsenal and Tottenham still have one and two games left that they haven't played.right if they manage to win the game then automatically Manchester United can be evicted from the top four even though the league is still going so long but in fourth position still so dramatic for us to take into account when the game has only been running for 23 weeks

Basically Manchester United already has a creative midfielder, do you still think Bruno Fernandes, Matic and Pogba are mediocre players. Wow, I think they are highly creative midfielders who then, may just be competition between players in the squad so they are not very solid as a whole. Now this is an era where it is already difficult to unite many star players in one team, so they are more likely to carry out individual skills to a less than optimal finish.

Yes, the problem at Manchester United does seem to be how to fit all these individuals together to become a great team. If you have the 11 best players in the world and put them together, chances are you won't make the best team in the world. The problem at Man U is how to make sure they create a solid, cohesive unit, and that there are no weaknesses as a team. Individual weaknesses are less of a concern, as they can be covered by other players' strengths.

that's the weakness of a team that has a lot of star players. Man United has no shortage of attacking midfielders. but in the game, they don't play alone by showing the skills they have without the interests of the team (winning).
Young players often show selfishness, and we see that happening at Man United as well. The manager only needs to unite players with extraordinary talents in the Man United squad. and they will be a very scary team.

Tottenham and Arsenal are the two clubs that need to boost their squad with midfielders and one striker in this January transfer window, in the last match Arsenal against Burnley, the gunners only has many academy players on their bench, without Partey and Xhaka both are on suspension, having loaned Ainsley Maitland-Niles to Roma a big setback for the team, while I salute the technical ability of Conte as the manager of Tottenham doing a great job with the few quality players at his disposal, though he doing well, however signing two to three quality players will help the team top 4 aspiration.

Agree, the selfishness of the young players we saw during the Man United game against West Ham. Many kicks were wasted just because the young player wanted to try his luck with a long-range shot. While his kick skills are still very weak for a long distance from the penalty box. I won't mention his name, you would have known if you watched yesterday's game. This makes many goal opportunities wasted.

I think right now Manchester United and PSG have the same problems.
They both seem to have some of the best players football has ever produced in their team, players who can make incredible and mesmerizing plays which even leaves the haters speechless, players who can do almost anything that can be done with football, and yet the results don't look so mesmerizing.

I think ok the problem is they have got the players that they wanted but now they actually don't know how to make the best use of them.

And Manchester United really should not be so far behind, with the players that they have in their team they should be winning almost everything that there is to be won.
