Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Iranus]

I won't believe that Chelsea is done with the season as we can notice that their performance has dropped even though Chelsea play stable football in some of their matches this season. But in total their overall performance has been poor this season.

What's important is if Graham Potter starts winning and having positive results all those talks of him being sacked will gradually get buried by the fans and the management. I understand that they need some improvement in the pitch for them to succeed which needs the player's who Graham Potter puts his trust in. But for now Chelsea needs a Sporting director honestly.

Chelsea are currently playing really badly. In the last five matches, they have not won a game. It is going to be interesting to see how they perform after the world cup ends. I don't know if they will actually be able to improve their performance. They need to bring in some players, some really skilled players to do that.

What I would like to know right now is whether the "really elite players" will be interested in moving to Chelsea? Especially considering the fact that Chelsea are performing really badly right now. Potter is not the one to be able to improve the situation in my opinion.

I am an Arsenal fan, since being coached by Professor Arsene Wenger.
Arteta's presence at the Emirates Stadium brought a lot of hope to Arsenal fans. I like Arteta, he is a coach who is very ambitious but with the ideology of young players. So far Arteta has been able to bring his troops one step further by having a proven mentality. they have a strong bond between players, focus and solid teamwork.

Arsenal track record this season has been quite impressive, and I quite appreciate what Arteta has done for his young team. Now it has given rise to a lot of new hope amidst their consistency. I think they will change direction a little for the better, and it's not like last season. Arsenal has a lot of potential with the support of players who are so solid because apart from being young they are also not selfish in terms of sharing portions. Of course, it is not an easy thing for a coach to educate young souls, whereas Arteta has so far been quite successful in managing his team.

Arsenal is doing very well and one of the main reasons for that is the coach was given enough backup by the owners. And I also believe that Arsenal should be able to continue playing well and stay at the top of the table. They are giving some good hopes that they will be able to win the English Premier League title this season. We also have to remember that Arsenal are not participating in the Champions League. So they do not have any pressure like that, which Manchester City currently has. Arsenal also has five points advantage right now. But keeping that in mind Arsenal cannot take things easy. Otherwise, Manchester City is going to get ahead of them at any given time.

No big club is ready to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for the club you have to reconsider what he offers and what he doesn't, if the disadvantage are much more then he will be of no use to the squad. Most clubs are open for young players not even old player's at all. I do not think Real Madrid will consider the signature of Ronaldo.
Chelsea didn't deserve that win at all the best of best that night won and that was Newcastle who had a big one  before world Cup

I agree about signing Ronaldo. Not only is he old and probably will end his career as a professional footballer soon, but he is also demanding too much. I don't think anyone other than a Saudi Arabian club will agree to pay him a lot of money. At the moment it simply won't pay off, neither in advertising nor shirt sales.

I know this will be the challenge Ronaldo will see after he leaves Manchester United, his age  is something that will make bigger clubs not to have interest in him. Ronaldo is not as good in performance like before,  spending huge amount of money to sign him in might result to nothing  .

[safari88]

There were still stories last year that Ronaldo might want to go to Manchester City. But after a phone call with Ferguson, he decided it would be better not to. I don't think he would be able to walk comfortably on the street in Manchester anymore. There are many people who love Ronaldo, but he also has many counterparts. It's strange that he hasn't got around to playing football at United this season, for someone who has been voted best footballer of the year for 3 years and has broken almost every record you can think of. Maybe a club like Arsenal/Chelsea would still be an option for him.

[Tumanggor]

liverpool is currently reportedly being sold by FSG and if that happens then we won't know what will happen to liverpool until this season is over

However, there are rumors that some of Liverpool's potential buyers come from middle eastern rich people. I think it's pretty good because usually middle eastern rich people are not stingy on spending on players (unlike the owners from US)

[Coyster]

Chelsea performance has not been really stable. Chelsea sacked Tuchel thinking that everything will become better so fast. Chelsea still has some talented players like Aubameyang yet they are not still consistent.  
Chelsea was not having patience to still to Tuchel.

The reason behind Tuchel's dismissal has been discussed here quite a lot of times, Tuchel wasn't sacked because Chelsea was struggling then, of course they were struggling but it was still very early on in the seaaon and he could have changed things later on. They won their second CL with him as manager, so they can definitely trust him to turn around their bad start and get at least a trophy.

Having said that, Tuchel was fired because there was a change of hierarchy at the club, Todd Boehly wanted to change things at the club and he decided to start with the manager whom he felt didn't have the same ideas with him. Graham Potter is definitely not an upgrade to Tuchel, but the management just had to hire him as he was their best choice available at that moment; i don't think Chelsea can be successful under Potter, thus i don't think he will last long in the club.

[Velvet78]

I wonder if Newcastle is thinking of making some new additions to the team in January. They have so much money to spend that they might not be patient until next summer. They are already doing a great job with their current squad of course. But it would still be better for them to strenghten it a little more to consolidate their position in the league.

Because we might watch a completely different second half in this season. They might face a bigger difficulty in case teams like Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea start playing stronger. Newcastle would need to fight harder to keep their presence in top 4.

[püsür]

Yes, it's a tough job in the Champion's League, let alone meeting Real Madrid in the top 16. Of course, it will be difficult for Liverpool to face that match, but if Liverpool focus on the Champions League, there might still be a chance, even if it's hard, but if Liverpool catch up on the points left in the English league, it will be difficult. if Arsenal keep winning games,

Actually it is equally difficult for Liverpool to focus if the target is to win. Because Liverpool this season are still not strong enough to compete until the end in the Champions League. And to catch Arsenal's points in the Premier League also looks difficult. So that the most reasonable target for Liverpool this season is to be able to be in fourth place at the end of the season in the Premier League in order to get into the Champions League next season again.

In whichever way, Liverpool is in trouble. Trying to win the Champions League to have direct ticket to the next season Champions league is difficult for Liverpool because they are not in their good form and many good clubs are in the context to lift the Champions League.
Trying to focus in the Epl to be able to enter is another hard task because clubs like Newcastle, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea are all above Liverpool. Liverpool  will need to overtake all these people to stand firm in top4. In all to the fight in Epl seems easier for them than Champions League.

Well, yes, Liverpool doesn't seem good enough to go all the way in the Champions League, but they are doing surprisingly better in CL than Premier League. And who knows, they might get better after the World Cup break. The decline in Liverpool started with the sale of Mane. Mane not only scores goals, but thanks to his sprint, he was feared in terms of defenses and did not leave any space behind.

There is also Thiago in the midfield. This guy does not work in the system of Klopp. He is very fragile and he is not possible to play continuously at that level. I feel like he will probably be injured long time. He is type of someone who breaks the rhythm of the team. We already know that he is not a dynamic football player.

My advice: a Mane-style wing and Thiago off in the midfield and a dynamic and penetrating midfielder. They can still manage to this and turn things around.

PSG may be ready to accommodate Ronaldo for the remainder of the 2022-2023 season. But I'm not entirely sure if the French giants will make a bid for Ronaldo, but financially and signing habits PSG tend to have some older players in their squad. Messi and Ramos are the two newest old players at PSG, so it is possible that PSG are also interested in signing Ronaldo.

If the transfer were to occur, then it would really be shocking. However, Newcastle also seems to be one of the most likely teams to propose to Ronaldo, the problem is only in the players.

Yea. I see where you are coming from, Newcastle have been playing very and have lot of players playing with high confidence and are focus on the work on hand,I understand when you say they should strengthen because Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool might pick form when the players return from world cup,and that might cause them champions League football so they should add more big names in case that come to true but you should understand if they bring in lot of stars right now it might disharmonies the dressing room and cause them decline of form.

Obviously there is. Now they still intend to continue to strengthen their players so that they can be worthy when next season if indeed they manage to finish in an advantageous position they clearly have a complete squad.
I think with their current financial condition they will continue to overhaul players from season to season so that they can be aligned with big clubs later, it is likely that the Manchester City Scheme when Sheikh Mansour bought in 2008 will be re-adapted by them in the next few years in terms of the player.

[Franctoshi]

I'm not sure why Chelsea chose to sign Aubameyang from Barcelona; he has less of a chance of succeeding in Premier League football because he lacks the necessary strength to work hard and get the ball past the defense the way he did for Arsenal in the past. Without these attributes, players like Aubameyang are worthless on the field.

I do think that decision of signing Aubameyang was only made by Thomas Tuchel, and not Chelsea entirely. The managemet of Chelsea sealed that deal due Tuchel request to buy him as at that time. The Problem with Aubameyang is age and laziness to contend the ball with the defenders.
Not only Aubameyang is on laxity at Chelsea and in the front line, what about Raheem sterling?, in fact all Thomas Tuchel signings during last widows transfer open , are yet to live up to expectation.

[izsara]

I won't believe that Chelsea is done with the season as we can notice that their performance has dropped even though Chelsea play stable football in some of their matches this season. But in total their overall performance has been poor this season.

I think you are too looking at it from a decline perspective without looking at the reasons why they declined. Currently, Chelsea's condition is in a difficult condition, especially with the loss of most of their injured defenders, so this cannot be fully used as a benchmark because they are still playing with part of their core team.
I personally feel they will still make a good trend later with the record that their players are all recovering as before.

This would be a pretty interesting transfer in my opinion. I would find it meaningless for PSG also. If you ask me why I would say that they don't need Ronaldo at all currently. They have already built a spectacular trio of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. If they decide to add Ronaldo here also then there would be some problems giving headaches to Galtier. For example how will he make his choices for the starting eleven? There will be more than needed stars in the team in the end.

Let's say Ronaldo will wait in the subs mostly. Then there is no guarantee that Ronaldo won't make it a problem. Maybe we can witness him having similar problems with Galtier this time. PSG should consider all of these before making their final decision.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I'm not sure why Chelsea chose to sign Aubameyang from Barcelona; he has less of a chance of succeeding in Premier League football because he lacks the necessary strength to work hard and get the ball past the defense the way he did for Arsenal in the past. Without these attributes, players like Aubameyang are worthless on the field. Chelsea must therefore add more attacking players and a striker to unleash their scoring potential, or else they will continue to struggle in the Premier League this year.

I still think aubameyang has something to offer Chelsea, especially if other attackers are doing a great job of setting up goals for him. Based on his performances for Arsenal and Barcelona, even though he did not spend much time there, you should have assumed he is a striker. You won't see Aubameyang's contribution until Chelsea is in good form; at the moment, Chelsea is struggling. Or do you think a striker alone can accomplish it? Aubameyang is not the type of striker to chase after the ball; instead, he positions himself in better positions to create more opportunities for himself. And that is what a good striker suppose to be doing not run all over pitch.

What I would like to know right now is whether the "really elite players" will be interested in moving to Chelsea? Especially considering the fact that Chelsea are performing really badly right now. Potter is not the one to be able to improve the situation in my opinion.

If Chelsea is prepared to sign a world class players I believe does will join the team, Since Chelsea is still playing in the Champions League and that is what elite players always want, I think players will join the team soon. If the management can afford their market price.i believe better days are ahead of Chelsea team because Chelsea still has a strong. Some years  ago, before they hired Tuchel and won the Champions League, this was how Chelsea began.

The problem is that a new transfer window will open at the beginning of next year and so far not many great players have entered the transfer market because every team is also targeting new, better players by not letting go of old players just like that if these players are still very much needed by the team. So Chelsea itself is also not easily able to get new players according to the wishes of Chelsea.

At the moment, he has a great deal of attacking power at his disposal. In addition, there is no need for them to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo to the team, as he is not needed. It would be a mistake if they were to do it, in my opinion. They already have the most talented players they can get. Bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the team right now is only going to cause problems, because if he comes to PSG, he will not be able to get the regular playing time that he wants.

[Masplanc]

they hired Tuchel and won the Champions League, this was how Chelsea began.

Chelsea has really miss this man, Chelsea would not have be this way if Tuchel is still coaching the team. Tuchel understands Chelsea and he was removed as coach at the wrong time when the club needs someone like him to strengthen the team.

The problem is that we are in a pretty tough situation right now. other than that for the Champions League obviously it's also a bit more difficult. Madrid is one of the real obstacles and I hate to see the current conditions in the last 16 Liverpool meet Madrid because in any case the previous 2 finals they have also made us lose hope in the Champions League, and now we meet again in the knockout phase. Actually I hope Liverpool win later but with the current conditions I may have to be ready to accept the worst for Liverpool.

Chelsea have the opportunity to improve their squad at least they have to be active in the January transfer market. The Blues management must have the courage to invest heavily if they want to save the club. It is possible that Chelsea still have the opportunity to get world-class players or be able to monitor the development of players who stand out in the World Cup, because currently they are still in the Champions League and will certainly attract top players.

However, if Chelsea don't get players in the mid-season transfer market, then they will find it difficult to get top players if they will finish outside the top five positions in the standings later. Besides that, the coach factor is also a consideration for top players, even though they get high offers, they are also reluctant to join if the coach's profile is not too flashy like Potter, except for middle class players because they want to fulfill their dream of being able to wear a Chelsea uniform.
