Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Pokapoka124]

'the independet' reports that manchester united is up for sale. the club is said to already have three consortiums that could bid for the club.
will the issue bring more turmoil before the match against liverpool...

Hopefully, it won't bring more problems but many are demanding from fans that the Glazers should sell him because Manchester United are in his hands unable to solve the problem, especially in the transfer market which is not good.

I saw in some news articles several consortiums are candidates for new ownership of Manchester United, including Elon Musk tweeting that he will buy Manchester United, will this be a reality for the Tesla boss?

I also saw some posts from Manchester United fans which mentioned Elon musk tweeting about buying over the club and I decided to look into it, but he also mentioned that he was not interested in buying over a sports team probably the fans are choosing to ignore that part of the tweet but whatever it is, I agree that something needs to be done to save the club

So far it has been an exciting two rounds of English football, some fans are thrilled already with their team's performances, teams like Arsenal and Manchester City have been doing so well in the last two rounds while Liverpool and United have performed poorly and way below expectations, it's almost weekend and we are heading right into the third round with hopes to see changes from the failing sides and consistency from the high flyers, good investment for the Gunners this time, we hope to see more competitive games and hopefully Liverpool will pick all 3 points against united and probably find that confidence again from the match.

Arsenal ? I expect them to go five game's unbeaten, that team have a mentally strong lads for this season, they are now good fighters against Bournemouth ? I expect them to burn thier mouths during the week.
Make them feel like they're not fit for the premier league, Gabriel Jesus! That lad is awesome, really waiting to watch him score and give .e some clasic goal celebration.

Manchester City are unstoppable, I don't wan to tip them as tittle contenders as it might turn around shocking in the end. The league bis still open to be decided, total pumping during the week. Man United can make up with the first win of the season at Old Trafford don't get startled when you see it happening.

Arsenal fans have their hopes high enough to expect another invincible season this time but this is football and in football, a lot of things happen. Going five games unbeaten is very possible but don't forget this is EPL where you don't write off small teams, Arsenal fans can only hope for the best and see what happens. The league is still fresh and anything can happen.

I have no idea if Musk is interested in a club, it's a businessman and business, and that doesn't go hand in hand with United. They have enough problems and don't even play champions league this year. Musk can buy almost any company he wants. United is a big name, but from a sporting point of view it is not good. And being completely last after 2 matches is also a good result. I do wonder how much time Ten Hag will have before they intervene. Suppose they have won 1 x and lost 5 x after 6 matches, isn't it time to send them away and get a trainer with a lot of experience? Ferguson could get them out of this lousy situation.

Manchester United situation is quite deeper than you think and even if the present coach is changed and a new trainer is brought in without management changing their will still be underperforming. Man United need a total overhaul and if Elon musk could buy the club i believe the revival may start from there, since there will be new management.

The two clubs that appear will try their luck in their third match. Manchester United lost heavily from 2 matches while Liverpool was held to a draw in 2 matches. What we hope for is the team's improvement and performance with each other. Expecting Manchester United in its current state is not possible. I think it makes sense for Liverpool to take the lead more easily.

In the upcoming third round Bournemouth host in-form Arsenal, I don't think the gunners will lose this match atleast a draw isn't bad with their outstanding performance and records so far in the first two rounds meanwhile Man City will visit Newcastle at St James' Park  a match the host stand a little chances of winning, though Man Utd has been having a poor run so far, however they won't succumb to a defeat against an Injured hit Liverpool side with Nunez on the sideline due to red card, so I am expecting Erik Ten Hag to played a much changed lineup to avoid a defeat.

Liverpool seem to still be the better side. In the game against Crystal palace they managed to dominate and still get an equalising goal with ten men. Manchester United play like shit even with 11 men on the pitch so what kind of magic should we be expecting against Liverpool? No magic. Arsenal will be hoping to extend their winning streak to 3 games in their game against Bournemouth.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think everyone is talking so much about Manchester United situation that we aren't paying attention to the situation that Liverpool finds themselves, they haven't Really found themselves. They have drawn both matches they have played in so far and their encounter with Manchester United won't be easy also because Manchester United won't want to go home with another lose. So far it's been Manchester city and Arsenal doing the job well.

[SirLancelot]

Isn't Harry Maguire the most consistent player at Manchester United? I mean consistent with the mistakes he made. Lol
Trust in him is so high with such appearance (I think we have the same thoughts about Maguire). People say de Ghea's enemy is not the opposing player, but Harry Maguire. He played like giving chances to the opponent and said "please put the ball in our net". Lol

I keep saying there must be something about him. I mean what we do not realize is that he has been there making all these mistakes and still getting play time, what are we missing? Come on, it is not just as simple as "kick him out, get a better one", because if he was so terrible, then why is he still playing? What are we missing, why does every manager still keep playing him all the time?

Even mistake after mistake after mistake, he still becomes the captain and plays at defense for some reason, and I do not really get it. That's something I do not really understand, maybe there is something that we are missing, maybe there is a good thing about him that you and I can't see.

[CryptoPanda]

Football is a team game. Even though Maguire shouldn't take all the blames for the bad performance of Manchester United, he should take the lion's share of it since he's the worst player on the team as well as the team captain.
Of course, if anyone should have been kicked out then it was Maguire first and foremost, no one else. Most of Manchester United's fans believe and wanted this done before kicking any other players.

I wouldn't blame Maguire alone and not even the lion share he should bear. Many other players as well are playing like shit in the team, players like Fred, Rashford, Luke shaw, and sometimes Mc Tominay so why does Maguire have to bear the most blame when some of these players are not just good enough for the team. Incompetent players need to be replaced, and the club owners also need to get their heads in the game and pilot the affairs of the club effectively.

[arimamib]

The way United are playing right now is really unlike a play level of a big PL club. While Liverpool might have faced some surprising defeats in their last two fixtures but I think they are still better than United.

Sorry mate, I need to correct a little of the mistake in your post.
In the last two matches in the premier league this season, Liverpool only swallowed two draws, in the standings Liverpool only got two points from the two matches played, meaning Liverpool have never lost.

The Manchester United vs Liverpool party is one of the most interesting games to watch, the two rivals are chasing each other to win after failing to win in the two matches that have been played. I think the chances of victory are in the hands of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp men can beat Manchester United easily because so far the cohesiveness of Manchester United players has not been well established.

[CryptoPanda]

With the results of the training provided by Erik Ten Hag the players are not good enough and can't make the fans expect more because so far they are the teams from manchester united must be aware and can work as a team well to be able to get goals and raise the big name of barcelona, the players from manchester don't like this coach so as we can see this is a performance that can be given by the players to show their dislike of the coach..

I don't think it should be the choice of the players to choose which coach they like to work with or not. This club has changed quite a number of coaches in a short period and I think Erik Ten Hag is there to stay, the players should rather turn their energy and focus on the season's task ahead of them instead of selecting which coach they want. I don't even agree that this is the cause of the problems. I think some of the players are not good enough and they need signings, quality signings to turn things around and transform the negativity around and breed positivity, with hopes and believe and trust in the Coach and lastly reconnect with the fans.

Well, in this case Liverpool too from attack are still very good, but when you look at their productivity and finishing in the last 2 matches, it's still a little difficult for Liverpool.
As for Manchester United, this is even worse than Liverpool and they are now just a mockery of other teams which makes it difficult for them.

Liverpool is still playing the same pattern they played last season, and that affected their performance greatly if we will recall Liverpool started last season with bad points in the first 3 matches meanwhile their rival Manchester City was busy gathering the points just like what we are seeing now.

[baeva]

After experiencing two defeats in a row in the first week of the Premier League, Manchester United need to take action to make changes in several positions, especially for the next match they will face Liverpool, in this situation Liverpool maybe play a little aggressive because they also experienced unsatisfactory results in the Premier League In the last two matches, Jurgen Klopp's men might start their revenge where in a friendly some time ago they lost heavily to Manchester United.

The way United are playing right now is really unlike a play level of a big PL club. While Liverpool might have faced some surprising defeats in their last two fixtures but I think they are still better than United. Nunez's suspension is a problem but I think they are gonna go with Jota and Firmino in that position and they are good as well. United can stop them but given their last performance seems like Liverpool's win is likely.

Think about it, such an opinion that Manchester United is a good and strong team, which something has been missing for at least a year among fans and just fans of soccer. Don't you think it's not "something missing", but Manchester United has learned how to play? At least I'm talking about the team play, they don't communicate well with each other, as if they don't understand each other. They should at least start with that...

[snipie]

Elon Musk is joking when he said that he will buy Manchester United.

You can't say for sure that he is joking, what if he isn't and he is just hinting on his future plans. IMO it may not turn out so bad. I have have any exact and particular reason to support my claim, but I just feel so.
 

I did my search before saying that he was joking. Yet I believe that he has a hidden message to pass. A long running joke he said...

Code:

"No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any sports teams," Musk posted, when asked if he was serious.

"Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U," he added. "They were my fav (sic) team as a kid."

BTW, talking about Liverpool's failure up there. It is sad to see them getting such bad results since the beginning..

[Vinaa77]

What is clear is that until now neither Manchester United nor Liverpool have gotten the desired results,
so if we talk about the match between the two teams at the weekend, it is not impossible that the result will end in a draw,
but this is football where anything can happen

In two last matches Liverpool were only able to two draws or only get two points, as a team that last season ended the season in runner-up position, of course there is something that now seems to make Liverpool in poor performance because the two teams they face are actually not a strong team, I think losing Mane still seems to create instability in their squad and even if now they have Nunez but he hasn't really blended into Liverpool current style of play, between the last two Liverpool matches, I think performance against Crystal Palace was really quite bad and beyond the expectations we expect from a club like Liverpool.

In my opinion, Liverpool's decline in performance in the first two Premier League matches is not necessarily caused by losing Mane. But the number of players who have suffered injuries makes it difficult for Klopp to rotate players if there is a deadlock during the game. I believe, Liverpool will find their best form again when all the mainstay players are fit again.

If you look at how Elon Musk is trying to buy Twitter, then I wouldn't be too happy about it if I were Manchester United fans, especially since he then announced that it was a joke and he wasn't going to buy sports clubs On the other hand, MU fans should be pleased to hear that United has been his favorite team since childhood. I think it's not worth making hasty conclusions based on two rounds and letting the new coach calmly build the team according to his understanding, especially since Cristiano Ronaldo's future at the club is not entirely clear and Manchester United is still feverishly trying to find options for strengthening in the transfer market. I understand perfectly well that many people thought that once Rangnick left his post and Ten Hag took his place, Manchester United should destroy their rivals from the very start, but this does not happen. A new person has arrived with different requirements and with a different philosophy of the game and the process of building a new team is underway, which can be unpleasant and very painful.

Elon Musk is joking when he said that he will buy Manchester United.
Obviously I doubt about him being 100% not serious, he has a point or two to check, the reaction of the club, the popularity of the tweet or if there is a stock movement...
I prefer to not see him involving in football, he did enough damage everywhere (tweeter, crypto...)

Elon is such a big influence everywhere he goes, his voice is too strong and because of his financial status he could easily influence the media and even at a point thr crypto market. But one thing is that there is always some iota of truth in whatever thing says. Like his statement about twitter and bot, their is truth behind it. He should rather not involve in football because if he does, he could be getting fined every week that he tweets about his club, eufa or fifa.

Arsenal are one of the teams that started the season by two wins. As there are only two teams that did this, it is attracting. Their next game is an away one against Bournemouth. Maybe the bookmakers think that Arsenal are very clearly the favourite but I'm not very sure about this. Bournemouth aren't a weak team and they wouldn't let Arsenal win easily. Maybe this game could be the first one Arsenal lose points.

Don't you have double thought over that game, Arsenal will win comfortably against Bournemouth. Weak team or not, a win over Arsenal is not possible this weekend.
Did you see how they played last week ? Yes some goals was as a result of the Goal keepers fault but they fought back to score and also seal the game.
They now play with a goal in mind and vision knowing fully well they are up for the top four spot. Two London sides are my favorites for the Premier League @ Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

I think everyone is talking so much about Manchester United situation that we aren't paying attention to the situation that Liverpool finds themselves, they haven't Really found themselves. They have drawn both matches they have played in so far

Don't worry about it. Some people are still monitoring the progress of Liverpool. It's just that the worst performing team from the big clubs gets all the attention and it's been like that every season. They will be talked about more if they keep dropping precious points while Man United starts winning games.

and their encounter with Manchester United won't be easy also because Manchester United won't want to go home with another lose.

I'm taking LFC for the next game. They are just probably as motivated as MU to take all three points. They are also struggling for sure but they are still scoring unlike the other team.

I think this is just a joke created by Elon Musk because some time ago he tried to buy twitter but it was canceled for various reasons which finally made him cancel buying it, so I am sure that this is one of his jokes, Manchester United did not enter to the Champions League of course that would cause a shortfall that could result in the cancellation of Elon Musk again.
