Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Gasty4]

Manchester United needs a manager who will be as stellar as the players he is trying to manage, maybe that will give a good result. Ole and Carrick are nothing like those coaches. If the players do not understand the subordination, then the discipline in the team suffers and all plans fall apart. Maybe Zidane would be a good option for Manchester - he knows how to connect with the players and he is a star both as a player and as a manager.

Zidane already didn't work properly at Real, although he knew the club and some players well from his active days. He never played in England and therefore doesn't know the mentality there well. This is very different from Spain or Italy. And I don't know of any example where a top player successfully coached a top club a few years after he quit as a player. Such experiments have mostly gone wrong in the past. In my opinion, the problem at ManU is the composition of the players and not the coach itself. ManU's management needs to clean up the squad before success can return.

All those who understands football do just as you've said, Pep Guardiola did the same thing at Manchester City when he arrived, and giving every single player competition.
What I mean by competition is not relying on Raheem Sterling or Mahrez, he's got back up plans when his first team not doing good.
Without winning the Premier league for some time now, I think vthats the major trophy they're out for, with a good understanding of the English premier league Pochetino will be better for me.
He is best suitable coach for the job.

Newcastle are really in an interesting condition now. They are one of the richest clubs in the world now but they are in the relegation area in the league at the same time. They must really start showing a much better performance than now. Otherwise they are in danger of relegating from the league. And after that, I don't think that bigger names would be eager to come to a club which are in the second league of their country. A really tough future would wait for them then.

They have to survive this season indeed but regarding the actual position, well it requires a lot of efforts..
They are in the 18th spot right now but they are 1-3 matches in advance comparing to Burnley and Watford and they will be 19th for sure after Burnley and Watford game in the next week. Nevertheless, the remaining games for Newcastle aren't that hard except the top 5 which means they could survive indeed if they keep avoiding defeats at least..

Manchester United need a coach who can blend in well with the players. To build a friendly relationship with the players, the players need to find out the problems. Every Manchester United player is talented enough. We have seen a lot of good performances from them in the past. But now their team performance is not good. Because the mutual bond between the players is not good.
Zidane is a very experienced coach. The team will be stronger if he coaches Manchester United. Because they already have a strong squad. Zidane will only work to build bonding between the players. And I believe he can do this very well.

Even though it's like that, we also can't blame the current coach because Rangnick is still in the adaptation phase now. we can see ole few seasons can say that he is not very suitable after seeing the performance in the previous season which was quite good. And now rangnick has only played a few games with Manchester United and we want to think that is really bad? I think it's still too early

Yes, we don't know how long we keep blaming the coach same thing happened to the previous coach will it continue to the next coach? we need to find another reason
Maybe adaptation is still needed there and waiting for the transfer window to open the coach knows exactly what kind of players he needs. I'm guessing Rangnick will have a longer place at Man United maybe more than Solskjær.

Rangnick is not the fault for Manchester United not performing well, the problem Manchester United is having right now could be no good defence from the players and lack  of good strategy of players . I think coach is not the problem at all, the players needs to work harder in their defense.

They are making some key signings and there are more to come soon. By the end of the transfer window I am sure they are gonna confirm one or two more, so now at least I think they are gonna perform better than what they showed us still now. I am still surprised about the Bruno Guimares moving to Newcastle and I am sure other players will also start to think Newcastle as a team to start their PL adventure.

Honestly it's quite a gamble for those players as well as team is in relegation.

...

Ole has been good at certain tasks and United's progress is evident from what you have shown, but this season United under Ole has failed completely. This is a fact that cannot be ignored. United have the second most valuable squad in the league and should at least be in contention for the title. But you see what's happening.

Yes I get that this season wasn't his best as a manager but I find the previous post saying he's "bad luck" as unfair.

Now other people will try to solve this problem (successful fight for the title).

The same thing he tried to do when he took over the club.

coderben, new money won't do much for now. We will probably see the effects of the changes two or three years from now. It's possible they will be relegated this season but they will be back for sure.

Avirunes, who are these other new or potential signings?

[Altryist]

Rangnick is not the fault for Manchester United not performing well, the problem Manchester United is having right now could be no good defence from the players and lack  of good strategy of players . I think coach is not the problem at all, the players needs to work harder in their defense.

The strategy in the team is completely dependent on the coach, the players cannot decide on their own what and how to do on the field. Why then would a coach be needed at all? Moreover, if the player does not comply with the coach's instructions for the game, then the coach will simply not let him on the field. And the problem of Manchester is just in the coach, because there are plenty of good players in the team, but they cannot play as a team, because there is no philosophy and team spirit, and the coach must fix all this in the team.

Yes I know it's just that some people protested Rangnick performance considered failing to unite the team. I understand Man united defense is very bad even the worst among the top 4 conceding 30 goals in 22 matches is the worst record in scoring goals Man united is also low even though they have some great players means something is wrong on the front lines, is it the selfishness of every player or indeed haven't found a suitable teammate yet.

Totaly agree with you since the new coach came we didnt see much improvement in man united team but it is a bit soon to judge the coach since he might have some players who are not compatible with his play style i think man united need some new players because simply some of them are not on the level of such a big club.

That's true. Man Utd problems goes beyond a poor defense or a non-performing frontline. It's an overall team inconsistencies - Man Utd's midfield isn't fluid too. We have fred and someone like Matic that keeps delivering poor performance every other day. What I do know that, a coach can have a positive influence on a team enough to get them to winning ways. You don't need the best players in the world to make a great team
 

If I remember correctly, Liverpool was in a similar place and we lost our best players at the time - Coutunh, Suarez and even sterling. Klopp came in and turned regular players like Arnold and Robertson to stars.

Currently, Newcastle United is most talked topic in soccer community because they are richest and sadly now they are at 18th position in Premier League which is never been ideal for any team last but not least they have very difficult chance of surviving even spending good money because it's not all about money it needs some good strategy and off the field things as well right now they are going to face Everton in next match if they won and Norwich will also win then they will be on their place and in another match if Watford beat Burnley or Burnley beat Watford they are going to drop some more mean very tricky situation for all relegation zone teams with just Norwich's one win can create more interest now we have to wait for some good time about result who is going down and who is staying here for next season.

There is still more than one week for the next league games. And in the current standings, the top three teams have already opened a big gap with the rest of the teams. And it is seen that there is a really tough fight for the fourth place now. This is a critical place in terms of joining the Champions League in the end. There is a competition for it among the teams from the fourth place to the eight place in the standings. Manchester United have captured the fourth place for now and their last two results were nice. But they need to keep this up as some of the teams below have less games played. Otherwise, we might not see them in the CL next season.

United did manage to get there but Arsenal and Tottenham are missing games, if they win that, then they could get there for sure. Which would put United to 6th place. I am not saying United is bad, after the manager chance, and sacking Ole, they are doing better. They didn't even get a proper manager, I am 100% sure that they will get someone better this off-season, this was the best they could find during such a period and they are still doing better, imagine how bad Ole was at that point. Not that I believe he was always bad, previous seasons he was good enough. It is a bit about him not being good enough "anymore".

So, United could still be fourth by the end of the season, other two teams could end up losing points, as long as United keeps this momentum going then they are going to be fairly decent if you ask me. This is why I feel like it is going to be fun to watch them all.

In any case, Zidane is not yet seeking to move to England, including for linguistic reasons, and even more so to Manchester, from which, according to rumors, Zidane's wife does not seem to be enthusiastic. Zidane is also used to working at a club that positions itself with the super prefix, which was Real Madrid during his years of work and the current Manchester United does not quite fit this definition. By the way, there was information that Manchester United is quite satisfied with the work of Rangnik and is going to change his status from temporary to permanent, but I don't trust this much and I think work towards finding a new head coach will resume closer to summer. Still, it's still hard to believe that Rangnik will be able to fantastically change the team's game and results by the end of the season.

both teams seem to be equal to each other. Everton never got the win in the last 5 games while Newcastle only has 1 winning which they got in the last game. We have to see Newcastle's performance step to rising to the middle board When they are able to beat Everton for the first time. but they don't compete in the bottom board only, in the market they compete to get signed Thomas muller.

Richest but Newcastle did not take advantage of the opportunity to take the star player. There wasn't even an offer they wanted to take. Isn't that quite surprising? they are predicted to be a club that will have extraordinary players to face a tougher football season. Avoiding the relegation zone should be a priority and to save Newcastle is to strengthen its squad by competent players and coaches. It's a shame that until now they haven't seen their seriousness to target being in the top 10.

It is a team building slowly now after getting a rich owner but right now their current target should be getting out of relegation zone. With defence like that I am not sure they will hit top 10 or close to top 10. Reaching top 10 is a good target but given the situation and the team they have, you gotta understand its difficult.

Let's review the usual table, we have big 6 then the underdogs who are playing quite some season and then there are underdogs who are kinda wavy- sometime good in performance and sometimes drop easy points but in case of Newcastle all I see is draw and lose, recent games they played they have improved but overall they have been disastrous this season.

So, it seems that Liverpool has hijacked Tottenham's attempt to sign Luis Diaz from Porto. A lot of legitimate reporters reporting he will sign soon for close to 60 million euros.

At first glance the deal does not make sense at all - Liverpool have both Mane and Jota playing on the left. Still - that might be a sign that Liverpool is ready to let Mane go in the summer.

Did anybody see more of this guy? I saw him in his 2 CL games against us but wasn't that impressed - would love to hear more.

It could be that Klopp wants to strengthen the depth of his squad, maybe bring in Daiz and not letting anyone go, cause I don't think Liverpool are ready to let Mane go just yet, and even if they want to, I don't think it's too much of a smart move letting Mane go to bring in Luiz Diaz that's not so established, except of course if Mane pushes strongly for an exit away from the club. I don't really know too much of the situation concerning Mane and Liverpool, is he pushing for an exit?

Did anybody see more of this guy? I saw him in his 2 CL games against us but wasn't that impressed - would love to hear more.

I also have not seen too much of him, I hardly watch the primeira Liga, and I've only seen him a couple of times in the UCL, it really doesn't matter too much as he'll definitely develop better and faster under Jurgen Klopp if the transfer goes through.

Manchester United have all it takes for zinnedine Zidane to succeed, he has strong attacking players there, he will use the summer transfer market to bring in good midfielders that he want and a central back to pair with Varane,he not coming to Manchester is not due to the club not having good players to work with,it maybe he doesn't not want to move to England.
