Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Distraction]

Manchester City might go for signing Jules Kounde in case Chelsea sign Nathan Ake from them. This would be another big signing for Manchester City actually. Because Kounde is a very skilled centre-back and he can do a bigger job than Ake in this team. He doesn't have any Premier League experience in his career though but he is already playing in the second biggest league in Europe. I don't think he would have serious issues in the Premier League as well.

Don't take these games too serious, they're warm up games to get fit and ready for the new Campaign. Eric Ten Hag's a good Coach we need not argue over it. Talking about Manchester United performance, he is still not okay, as he thinks they have enough and more to offer. When the season starts, then we can judge how Liverpool and Darwin Nunez can go.

Winning the Champions League is not a one Man Job. Ronaldo moving in another Club doesn't guarantee he'll win the Champions League. As it might be another season with Juventus a wasted one hope's of winning the Champions League got all shattered in shambles. Further more, he should stay put at Manchester United.

Currently, Ronaldo has not returned to Manchester United's pre-season training session. However, this came at a time when it was evident that he was dissatisfied with the club.
He probably just went outside to check out the club for this purpose. He needs to find a good team if he wants to win the Champions League.
Although Ronaldo had problems when he first arrived, I wouldn't say he had a negative impact; however, the fact that he left Manchester United could serve as a warning to future clubs who are not willing to take risks, especially if the results are poor.

Kalidou transfer is one of the fastest transfer I have seen within this window and it shows how focused Chelsea are in their bid to garner a formidable defense line cause this is what the blues are likely known for, and it has really paid them off if you can remember UCL 2012 on how they won it based on a pretty defensive line.
As for strikers Chelsea already have, so it's just improvement on them is what should be expected and not signing of more strikers.

Chelsea will obviously be better next season because Chelsea still have the determination to win the Premier League trophy and also want to pay for the failures that have befallen him this season. I'm also very impressed with how fast Chelsea have been in getting some new players for their defense for next season.

Chelsea will want to do whatever their can to improve their performance in the next season, there have underperformed in the just-ended league season but with the new features.

This victory showed that Manchester united new manager is a talented manager that has what it takes to improve any team, and to also bring changes into the team. Manchester united defeated Liverpool 4-0 that made many people to believed that Manchester united will definitely increase their performance in next season, because their players are well organized to achieve victory from any competitions in next season to prove to their fans that they are well ready to embrace premier league title next season.

I've never considered friendly matches as important, I think it's just a warm-up so players can coordinate with other players on the team so they can look compact when the season starts.

Still, this gives Impact and gives a different impression considering that even if it's just a friendship, when you look at the names of the competing clubs, you will still see there is competition there and link it to next season, I think.
Currently, with MU's landslide victory against Liverpool, it is certain that there will be quite large expectations from football lovers because indeed now with the Ten Hag and with a suitable formation there will be hopes for MU to be more competitive next season.

Well, i can say this is an impression we all expect from Manchester United and once they are being abke to maintain such an outstanding performance then next season will be confidently dealt with, they can achieve the title only if they have this as a consistent win on every match played, i also believe that Liverpool as well will still maintain their delivery capacity to remain top best regardless of times they played often, more opportunities lies on them bith against next season but only the smartest take good advantage against the other.

[cryptofrka]

Chelsea is really firing on all cylinders. Makes sense though, their whole defence is changing going into next season.

With Koulibaly and Ake all but agreed, seems like Kounde will be the 3rd incoming defender. With Sterling already there - I have to say that on paper they look really strong.

Still - they will need time to gel - especially in defence. If they don't start winning early - City and Liverpool will take advantage.

So far I see chelsea is still a big fan of Jules Kunde. And the possibility for Sevilla to let him go is start to appear with Sevilla's deal with Galatasaray to sign Marcao, added with the news that Fenerbahce centre-back Min-jae Kim has get an offer from Sevilla, it's a hint they are ready to let Jules Kounde. And I'm more sure he will join chelsea and manchester city will stay with Nathan Ake

By the way, after releasing Sterling and Gabriel Jesus Man City haven't see a new striker besides Haaland? Could it be that they won't be looking for striker anymore?

[Luzin]

It's interesting to have a big club in the EPL. Man city dumped a lot of its players at one league clubs. Sterling to chelsea and Jesus to Arsenal. The two of them needed a lot of minutes to play, so it was normal for them to leave. These two players are mature and experienced players. They are not young players anymore, so accepting them is naturally very profitable. So I think Arsenal will be better next season.

While Man United, they didn't get their player target until recently. De Jong has not reached an agreement yet, the new player from Feyernood is Malacia, and Erikson from Brentford,  besides that many are from the Man united academy so he is still young. But in the game in Bangkok yesterday their game was pretty good.

[KTChampions]

I don't think very much should be read into that Man U victory over Liverpool. Yes, 4-0 sounds quite comprehensive, but it has to be taken in context. It's not a competitive match, and not only is it pre-season, it's early pre-season and players are still getting fit. But the biggest reason is the players they put out, Liverpool made so many substitutions, they had over 30 different players appearing in total.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62141591

This match is no more serious than the usual two-way training game inside the club. At the moment, it is not even completely known in which squas teams will start the season, so it makes no sense to pay attention to such news. However, I have already seen funny memes on this topic (the face of Klopp who releases the main players with a score of 0-3 and ends up with 0-4  ).

Nathan Aké still has a contract for three more seasons and also, according to rumors Chelsea will at least get Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. But yes indeed, if Chelsea really will sign Nathan Aké then of course Chelsea's defense next season will be stronger if the two players play together. But instead of waiting for Nathan Aké to leave first, I personally believe Manchester City will still sign Jules Koundé because of his young age so it will be good for Manchester City in the long run.

When did EPL doesn't have any big clubs?
Sterling wasn't really good even Guardiola put him on his primary position e.g. Left winger, Foden is more better than him, so it doesn't problem to sell him. While Jesus was Right winger primary position, but Guardiola often put him on center forward. As we can see most of his matches, he was have better perform when he play on Right winger, but the problem is they have Mahrez who really the best for Right winger since he's a hardcore on that's position.

Since they have Haaland to replace Jesus, so it doesn't really a bad move. Considering Jesus can be play as substitute player, it doesn't wrong to keep him too, but like you said maybe he want to play as starting line up.

It's true that the Manchester United transfer didn't give them a big name, not that I don't think the official players are qualified, but now they don't seem to be getting that. There is still time for them to bring in players who will give color to their game. I hope they succeed in inaugurating other players in the remaining time.

it's true Jules Koundé is a player who has very good prospects for the future, Manchester City will certainly have a very valuable asset for the future, because in quality Jules Koundé is playing very well even though he is only 23 years old.
while Chelsea have been very close to Koulibaly, Chelsea have been very serious in their search for a centre-back since the start of the transfer and now they are just a few minutes away from being able to get Koulibaly from Napoli and with that of course no one doubts that Chelsea's defense will be stronger because Koulibaly is a player. The experienced base and have a very good defense that has been shown in the last few seasons with Napoli.

Manchester City is not a team that is scared of competition. Normally you'll have clubs send there player off to different leagues where they would have lite chances of meeting them on the pitch and you know, they both (club and player) have got a history history themselves and the vulnerabilities to exploit in tactics but, Manchester City have more than it takes to win any game in the EPL and so, having both the players right in the league doesn't make much a difference for them. It was even nice of them to have thought better of the players and dealed within the league with teams that could actually offer them so chance at a trophy. There playing time is not to worry about with these new teams @R. Sterling to Chelsea and G. Jesus to Arsenal.

Manchester United are finally finishing their centre-back transfer with Lisandro Martinez. Arsenal seem like no longer a rival for them in this race. Manchester United are expected to pay 43 million pounds to sign him. After this transfer they will need to sign a midfielder also. I don't know about Frenkie de Jong yet as Barcelona are still not too willing to sell him. But if Manchester United are ready to pay the amount Barcelona want then this deal is likely to happen. But Manchester United would need to pay a sum like 85 million euros in total.

Finally we will see Maguire on the bench, .
Some source said that Barcelona has already agreed about the price and other stuff, but the big obstacle is still Frankie de Jong personal choice, he seems eager to stay in Barcelona, but then again he doesn't want any salary cut.

https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/14/man-utd-reach-agreement-with-barcelona-over-frenkie-de-jong-transfer-16998658/

Speculation about the transfer of De Jong does not seem to have found an end point and there continues to be a tug-of-war between Barcelona and De Jong, from some media saying that Barcelona and Manchester have actually reached an agreement but it seems that the problem now comes from De Jong who seems reluctant to move from Barcelona but also don't want to cut salaries, besides that according to Fabrizio Romano, Even though the agreement between Manchester United and Barcelona has been established for 85 million euros, it is precisely now that both parties are still hampered by personal requirements player, so I think we will see the De Jong transfer saga not will end in the near time.

There's still time, that's true but time won't wait for them any longer. Manchester United have spent a lot of time in the transfer process at the moment and that has caused concern among fans. I think the fans weren't happy with the way they negotiated with the players and now they're being judged slow on that.

So far they haven't got a big name to strengthen the team, and I think this is a weakness for Manchester United. I'm sure we won't see a lot of new names in the team this season, and I think that will make Manchester United weaker than the rest of the competition.

[Yogee]

....
Finally we will see Maguire on the bench, .

I was wondering if Man United actually plan on keeping him after releasing a lot of players hehe. I'm pretty sure many fans will be disappointed if he's still part of the squad next season but they may at least find it a compromise if the club has better defenders coming in. Let's see if starting from the bench lit a fire in his belly.

Am not disputing the fact that United's 4:0 win against Liverpool was a friendly match and Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp also did so many changes in his starting lineup, but there was a bit of change in the performance of Manchester United players. Regardless of the match and how many changes were made nobody is overrating the tactical display seen in the United squad but the victory will serve as a morale boaster to the team and that is what Manchester United really needs this season. With the fitness I saw in the United team, I believe they will do better that last season.

Manchester United already have a star player and I don't think they need that much anymore, now we just have to believe in the new Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag and so far they have been doing really well it's starting to show in their pre-season tour game. in Bangkok some time ago.
the number of big-name players does not guarantee the success of the team but players who match the strategy and tactics given by the coach are what Manchester United have to recruit for now and so far they have done that and there are some that are being worked on.

How many star players do you mean, Are they Ronaldo, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes and some others? Do you think that's enough to win the title?

I think Manchester United still need more star players if they are to win titles and stop Manchester City's dominance. All the players I mentioned will not be enough and you have to be sure about it. Compared to Manchester United's best squad with Liverpool and also Chelsea, these two teams couldn't completely stop City's thirst for titles. So I think you are wrong to say Manchester United don't need more star players to win the title and I think that is a must.

the number of big-name players does not guarantee the success of the team but players who match the strategy and tactics given by the coach are what Manchester United have to recruit for now and so far they have done that and there are some that are being worked on.

No, and I'm not going to say either. But imagine Manchester City without star players and the right coach, are you sure you can win 4 titles in the last 5 seasons? Star players do not guarantee titles, but at least they will increase the team's chances of winning titles and achieving their goals.
