Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Swordsoffreedom]

As you already know Chelsea are looking for selling Timo Werner as he is willing to leave as well. There can be another team to go for signing him now because Chelsea have offered him to Real Madrid according to some rumours. Mariano Diaz is the only substitute for Benzema in the team now. They were interested in signing a striker some time ago actually. Maybe they can think of signing Werner seriously. He would most probably be a rotation player but he might be very useful if he adapts to the league.

If i were Timo Werner, i'd definitely not go to Real Madrid, but it is up to him anyway. Why would he decide to a move to a team where his playing time will be very much limited, he is still very young (26 years), and even if things didn't go too well for him at Chelsea, he still has a promising career ahead of him, all he has to do is work harder and be more focused, and most importantly, he has to go to a team that he will be a starter/regular.
Having said that, i doubt that any big team will sign Werner for now as their main striker, that is why i think Madrid is a bad move for him, as he can't displace Benzema, thus Werner might have to move to a smaller team, but that is not a bad move, previously we've seen players who lost their confidence move to smaller teams, performed excellently well and then moved back to a big team; thus Werner can take a shot at that, what matters now is for him to start playing and start performing too, if he can start doing that consistently, then big teams will approach him again.

Timo Werner will have to find a team that will be appropriate for him to play time-wise. He can find a team that needs a striker and is doing quite well by their standards if he is able to find such a team. Oh but I highly doubt that he’s able to come across a team like that.

He will obviously have to take a step down. But once he shows good performance, which I am sure he will, I think the big teams will start thinking about getting him in the team again. However, Real Madrid right now would be a very unwise decision for him since there is already a lot of competition. And his move to Real Madrid is only meant to make the situation direr.

Chelsea are exploring a move to beat Manchester City to Marc Cucurella as they ask Brighton about £50m-rated defender. There is a feeling Spaniard has heart set on Guardiola & City, but deal has stalled over asking price. Good chance that if a player gets option between Man City and Chelsea, they'd pick Man City as they have been consistently performing well in the premier league in recent times while Chelsea has had their ups and downs.

Certainly a good opportunity for Marc Cucurella to choose one of the two clubs that are interested in him, namely Chelsea and Manchester City.
Man City and Chelsea's bids for Marc Cucurella indicate that Cucurella is currently a great defender who is being contested by two big clubs. If I were Marc Cucurella, then I would choose Chelsea because the chances of playing regularly are very large, considering that Marcos Alonso can be played by Tuchel on the left wing so that Marc Cucurella can fill the left-back post.

I'm keeping a closed eye on arsenal next season. Something tells me that the club will delivered one big brilliant results either ending top four or winning trophies. Mikel Arteta coaching young boys is a good news for him as these boys are eager and hunger on the pitch to score goals in games. The gunners smashing Sevilla 6 nil was just an easy game for them, credits go to the two outstanding players presently in the team. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, these duo will work hand in hand on the pitch and I'm really impressed with the team's work.

There's no doubt, Arsenal looks very impressive this pre season matches. Not only that, towards the end of last Premier league season, Arsenal was in good form. If they co tinue with their fine form with the addition of Gabriel Jesus, no doubt they will be wonderful. But I don't expect them to win any title and to even see top4 will not be easy for them. This is because, apart from Manchester City and Liverpool whose positions are certain, other teams will really want to do well this season. Especially Tottenham and Manchester United, and yet Chelsea is still in view.

Arsenal are serious about selling Lucas Torreira to Galatasaray on an agree fee. Mikel Arteta still have more players to include his projects but will only take his time to mark out those he's using especially the ones that did an extremely brilliant performance in the preseason games. Lucas Torreira who happens to be a defensive Midfielder for the Gunners have sets of replacement for the Uruguayan international. The deal is set for the gunners as they are ready to let him go but I think what's holding the deal is the Galatasaray waiting for Torreira to agree on personal terms with the proposing team.

The more teams that improve the quality of their players in the Premier League, the better it will be for Premier League fans because it will definitely present a very interesting spectacle in terms of the title race like you said and I see there are some teams that have improved greatly in the match Pre-season now includes Tottenham Hotspur, although they lost slightly to As Roma yesterday.

The names Arsenal and Tottenham are now on the rise due to some of the transfers they have made.
But on the other hand actually this will not change anything I think in the competition.
As for fans of the EPL, it's clear that this is not only in big clubs, I think. with them touring several countries now actually this apart from increasing the love for the club it is also very good to see the rise of the EPL, this is the best marketing technique to introduce the club and the league itself.

Reportedly, Madrid's interest in Timo is not that great (because timo did not really show a big contribution to chelsea last season) compared to Arsenal's interest, this will be very interesting considering that between arsenal and Chelsea must be able to put aside their rivalry if they want timo's transfer to run smoothly.

The pre season is unraveling several weaknesses in the clubs, with the recent lose by Liverpool in yesterday match it shows that no club is prepared well enough for the next season, and the future is unpredictable.

with that i think manchester united should have hired more players who were good at scoring goals, this problem of theirs in attack will make them not finish even in 4th position

Did Ronaldo play in all those games? I think Ronaldo can help Manchester United in goal productivity and I don't think they need more players there.
Manchester United need to improve their defensive system and midfield. In attacking positions I think they are good but defense is always a problem especially if you look at it last season. In my opinion, it doesn't take many goals to win but 1 goal is enough but they have to have a very good defense.

I still feel they actually have some good defenders (except the captain) although there is a bit of uncertainty here because they don't really fit together.
But in this case maybe for the anchor midfielder there Ten Hag needs to make something more as a Tandem than Martinez on the other hand for Martinez also he has to start extra in trying because indeed he has to adapt quickly now.

Even though United failed to record a win yesterday against  Rayo Vallecano

4 - they played against aston villa and drew, but they could have won if they hadn't conceded a goal when the game was about to end

5 - played against Atletico and lose and failed to score a goal

6 - they played against rayo vallecano and tied, in this game they only managed to score 1 goal

with that i think manchester united should have hired more players who were good at scoring goals, this problem of theirs in attack will make them not finish even in 4th position

I subscribe to what you're saying mate. Those first three games are the only games you'll see drive and winning spirit mentality from the players. Although the games against Aston Villa should have been won comfortably, bad pitch was a disadvantage and also the change of squad as they couldn't hold down Steven Gerrard substituted players in the second half.

Ronaldo still seems like he's frustrated with Manchester United playing style, why would he leave immediately after he got substituted against Rayo Vallecano? The past game's wasn't as expected, we need another attacking player to compete with both Ronaldo and Antonio Martial. Arsenal in terms of team work and play are far better than Manchester United. I expect a better side against Brighton at Old Trafford.

The pre season is unraveling several weaknesses in the clubs, with the recent lose by Liverpool in yesterday match it shows that no club is prepared well enough for the next season, and the future is unpredictable.

I don't think everything is like that because this is only used to test some players there, especially for young players and some alternative schemes that will be run.
When they lose it doesn't mean they are weak there but the scheme they do is not very good with the composition they play.
It's a thing to try and when you look at this pre-season Klopp has really tried things.

[püsür]

Liverpool have a great tactic and great players, but if they play as a team, they can get results. Salah left his selfishness and did the job of distributing the pass. 2 goals came from there. They wasted nice positions out of selfishness.

Haaland is in the process of getting used to it. He tried a lame hit in a position where he could easily score with the flying head. He missed the goal in the empty position at the last minute. He was scoring in these kind of positions Dortmund. Nunez is a great player but his final shots are not clear. A player worths 100 million needs to get the job done. Mane was both a great player and a real team player. I wonder what Luis Diaz will give.

[herurist]

When he can't score against Liverpool it doesn't mean he played badly and it's still early to conclude things like this.

Can't score and can't deliver assists, is simply categorized as bad performance. How we can state that he played not bad if he can't give any contribution, mate?  

Come on is only 1 game there and that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it.
We can't force him to be said to be a bad player in just 1 game because it's the whole thing that is said to have failed.
Just that 1 game means nothing and he still has to focus on a League that hasn't even started yet. When in a match he can't do anything then he can be said to be bad but he has only played twice and scored 1 goal in those 2 matches and is considered bad? you're joking about it.

GRAND TOR Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira ‘agrees three-year contract with Galatasaray’ with Gunners taking £16MILLION hit

Lucas Torreira has agreed to terms with Galatasaray. He has agreed on a three-year deal. £16 million is probably fair enough that is going to be spent by Galatasaray trying to get this player.

This will obviously be a good transfer for Galatasaray. He had one year left with Arsenal on his contract and I think Arsenal did a good job selling him. I still think that this 26 year old has a lot of potentials. But as it seems obviously he is not a priority for Arsenal right now. In Galatasaray, he will play really good football in my opinion. He’s also almost going to play every match.

Well there are many reasons why a team cannot be judged because it has lost, sometimes the teams are not at their 100% and this is normal, besides most of the teams have been starting their pre-seasons and they do not want to play as in the finals, they want to show their non-starting players, they want to see their options and we don't know if they can be testing who should earn their place in the team, then this is something that may be happening, because there can be many changes, many transfers and Some teams do not want to buy, because everything is very expensive, so they prefer to see how the players who have been trained in their beginnings are doing to see how much they can contribute.

[mamesso]

despite being in the British media spotlight for squandering several chances throughout the match. Erling Haaland's worst mistake was failing to take advantage of the opportunities created towards the end of the match.
moreover Erling Haaland is known to have strength and expertise in terms of attacking. but I firmly believe he will be the spearhead of Man City to spread terror to his opponents under the direction of Pep Guardiola.

I see it's normal when players who have just joined fail to take advantage of opportunities in front of goal. I think this is experienced by many players, not only him. It's not normal when this happens over and over again. We can't judge just one or two matches, let's be more objective in judging the performance of players.

Failure to take advantage of opportunities in front of goal is not a big mistake made by players, Erling Haaland cannot be punished for his mistakes, because not all opportunities can turn into goals. He was just unlucky because his team was beaten by another strong team, but he is still the first choice in Guardiola squad. The Community Shield is the start of his career with Manchester City, he will try to show his quality on another occasion, all players need time to adapt to their new club.

Galatasaray were after Tanguy Ndombele not much time ago actually but it looks like they have changed their mind. It is hard to pick Ndombele or Torreira in this comparison. Both of these players are quite decent midfielders and both of them are supposed to cost Galatasaray nearly the same amount. Valencia are also after Torreira by the way. If they also enter the race then we never know which side he would choose. I assume Galatasaray would go for Ndombele again if they can't sign Torreira.

Manchester United in doubts of consistent winning games in the new season after starting the first three friendlies with massive wins, while they failed to win their last three matches. Erik Ten Hag still hoping to get new players to join his squad in the new season as he's having some challenges to use some players due to their fatigue and mistakes on the pitch. His last game which was against Rayo Vallecano that probably ended in a draw was purely an obvious sign that he still have big job ahead of him in the team. Let's hope he's the right manager to change things in the team.

Friendlies ended with mixed results for ManU, there is still ambiguity about how fit the club will be in EPL..
First game this weekend vs Brighton should end with a positive result, same goes next weekend vs Brentford. It will be bad to see them getting less than 6 points ahead of their 3rd game vs Liverpool which is better right now.

It's a thing to try and when you look at this pre-season Klopp has really tried things.

He didn't actually watch the match, view highlights or see line up. Klopp used the match to test some young players. They didn't fixture even their second eleven. It is 3rd eleven with Konate, Miler or so.
The lost doesn't mean that Liverpool isn't prepared. Those guys are prepared for the season, don't be deceived, Liverpool and Manchester City are cool and prepared for this season and the title is purely for Liverpool or Manchester City as usual.
