Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ILuckyGuyI]

What is clear is that at this time Mane position is still irreplaceable, Diaz and Nunez are still beyond expectations, that Liverpool still need aggressive players and have attacking instincts as well as being proficient in assists. Look at Nunez performance at the World Cup, just as he can't give his best. It still takes time for Nunez maybe 2 to 3 years he will be greater. But for now Liverpool needs a new player who can collaborate with Moh Salah on the front lines. Because Liverpool's attack structure is still ineffective.

Firstly, Nunez is a striker while Mane is a winger. I mean the natural positions of course. Otherwise I know that Mane can play as a centre-forward sometimes if needed. Nunez started the season really poorly but he improved his performance later on at Liverpool at least. He started to be more effective in scoring goals. He was signed for €80m in the end so he is under pressure to perform decently as the expectations are big. The reason why expectations are big is obviously his amazing performance at Benfica before.

When it comes to Diaz, I think that he is doing just fine now. He is the closest player to Mane in terms of playing style when we compare Diaz and Nunez for this. Diaz is very helpful in attacks and he is taking a big responsibility in scoring great goals for Liverpool also. There have been many times he made things easier for Liverpool while they were in some trouble. He has had an unfortunate injury later but he is expected to return at the end of the month.

Liverpool have the needed kind of players to be effective in attacking in fact. They just need to improve their mental and it will be enough for them to start winning as usual.

True, but 2 -3 years is too long. Maybe Klopp can add him as a loan player if he wants to keep him. That was because Nunez was only 23 years old, there was still a chance he could get better. This situation is certainly detrimental to Liverpool because Nunez's transfer is quite expensive.

Nunez's performance at the World Cup was also bad, in fact they had to go home immediately because they didn't qualify for the group phase. But looking at the world cup, Nunez played a lot wide to support Suarez and Cavani.

This can be honed again by Klopp as a coach to improve Nunez's performance on the field with Liverpool but if he is loaned to me it is not quite right even though it is still easy for Nunez at least he is still needed for Liverpool at the moment and indeed what we have seen Nunez has not shown anything what Mane wants, but when he was still at Bengica Nunez was quite good, it's just that he might need to adapt for a long time.

It's like that, Nunez and the national team can't perform well, just mediocre, this is almost the same as Liverpool and obviously the game is very different from Firmino or Mohamed Salah.

There were several factors that became Nunez obstacles at Liverpool, one of which was based on rumors that Nunez didn't really understand English. Therefore, in several matches at Liverpool, Nunez deliberately brought translators so that what Klopp said could be understood. This may be trivial, but in terms of clear communication, it will greatly affect the synchronization of thoughts between coaches who implement strategies and players who implement them on the field. Nunez has plenty of time to learn how to communicate, let alone language problems.

Manchester United as a team might not be happy that they have not won trophy for a long period of time it is understandable because it is their business but for Manchester United fans all over the world what they would want to see is a good football and if they see trophy then it is good also for them. The current coach of Manchester United has made Manchester United matches worth watching, before now nobody would want to watch Manchester United match because even if they win or they lose it is a football of misery.

I'm not tired of making comments about Manchester United I'm a complete lair, lol all I want to see really is the Premier League game's weekend after weekend where I can make good response to other club's.

Manchester United currently needs at least a single trophy to boost the club fans and players, yes the standards are currently high set and laid in by the coach but they honestly need to do more than playing good football.

Like, For Goodness sake, why Can't Manchester United win the Premier League next season ? I'm currently on loan as a fan until Manchester United gets back to winning way's, I want to see them win a bigger trophy like the Champions League or the Premier League.
I'm currently anticipating these kind of days to come.

In a training session with Portugal, Ronaldo did not train with players who are not start in match with Switzerland. Is it a signal that Portuguese coach really want to reserve Ronaldo for a quarter match with Morocco?
Will he return to Portugal squad in quarter match?

ronaldo situation with the portugal coach is no longer a good coexistence, it seems to me that ronaldo complained about something and the portugal coach didn't like what ronaldo did or said and in revenge he put ronaldo on the bench and didn't let him playing at the beginning against Switzerland, and this is not something that will change in the next games, mainly because the coach from Portugal had an excellent result in the game against Switzerland and, therefore, he already has a strong pretext for not putting more ronaldo to play in the beginning of the game, because the portugal coach has already seen that the team no longer needs ronaldo, this is a somewhat sad fact because until a few years the portugal team was extremely dependent on ronaldo, but today they no longer need ronaldo, in my opinion ronaldo should retire, that would be the best choice he would make in his life

@SquirrelJulietGarden, I also think that Ronaldo will not be playing in Saudi Arabia, as at this point in his life I don't think he will be considering money over the place he's going to play. His release from the Manchester United squad is quite unfortunate but as he is now a free agent he will surely want to go to a better team at least a better team than Saudi Arabia.

I think firstly he will try to get a team in the EPL but if that is not possible, MLS is far better for him in my opinion. Although he is already 38, I don't think he has more than 2 seasons in his pocket for his footballing career.

Darwin Nunez still deserves the opportunity to further develop his skills on the gridiron with Liverpool. This is his first season, and this season it has been very difficult for him to adapt to Liverpool's game and has not been able to show his best abilities like when he was still in Benfica's uniform.
He does bring a lot of pressure, apart from that he must have hope that he can at least replace the position left by Sadio Mane, he is also compared a lot to Erling Haaland who moved to the Premier League in the same season. . Of course, for players who are still relatively young, they are still somewhat unstable in bearing the pressure they receive. Also I think it's very influential to the appearance that we see today.

Harry Kane's biggest problem is that Tottenham needs him much more than Kane himself needs Tottenham. Yes, this is his native team and the player receives very good money for his loyalty, but also this loyalty does not convert into titles at the club level in any way and there are big doubts that this will happen in the coming years. Therefore, I think that the best option for his career is still not another extension of his contract with Tottenham on improved terms, as there are already rumors about this and still try to change the team. Despite the fact that Antonio Conte constantly hints unequivocally and sometimes speaks directly about strengthening the squad, I do not think that the owner of Tottenham is able to allocate the necessary funds to win titles.

The real problem is Tottenham always tries to prevent him from leaving. When Kane wants to leave, they bring a top coach like Conte, and they set an expensive price for Kane's transfer fees. It is quite annoying, it caused Kane's performance very poor in the early season, he feels frustrated with Tottenham and has no motivation to play. But then he tried to accept the fact that he should stay in Tottenham, it will be another problem if his performance is getting worse. I assume not many big teams interested to sign him again if he played badly for Tottenham. However, as you said, it will be difficult to expect to win a title with Tottenham, so the best solution for Kane is sure to leave. In my opinion, next year Kane should leave Tottenham, before he reaches 30 years old. He doesn't need to wait until his contract in Tottenham expires.

I really do not think that Harry Kane is getting the love he deserves from Tottenham not to mention trophies. I really think that Tottenham will be able to win any trophies in the near future and as a player, that is a bummer.

Every player wants to win some trophies in their career, but if Kane stays in Tottenham, he will not be able to do so. Previously teams like Manchester City, and Bayern Munich were highly interested in him for Tottenham prevented him to go anywhere. So, I think it is high time he left that club, and if you are talking about the money he gets from Tottenham I'm pretty sure he will get paid more in bigger teams like Real Madrid Manchester City, or Bayern Munich.

The current coach of Manchester United has made Manchester United matches worth watching, before now nobody would want to watch Manchester United match because even if they win or they lose it is a football of misery.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left, Manchester United experienced many setbacks. even the coach who was chosen directly to replace Ferguson's position, namely "David Moyes", was only able to last 10 months from his initial 6-year contract. I'm not a fan of The Red Devils, but I like some of their star players. such as, Eric Cantona, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs, David Backham, Rooney. after that, Man United was no longer interesting to watch, as was the case after the retirement of the professor Arsene Wenger. Arsenal were in their heyday, when Thierry Henry and his friends. the Van Persie era, not so interesting. in the end, these two clubs are not that interesting to me anymore.

Currently, Manchester United is a little better under Erik Ten Hag as the new coach. even though at the start of the season, Ten Hag did not give what fans of The Red Devils expected. but gradually, Manchester United's pattern and game began to develop. Under Ten Hag, Man United had high hopes, just not this season. if lucky, Ten Hag can win a Europa League Trophy. but not for the Premier League.

Several reports say that at this time Diaz is recovering faster and it is hoped that he will be able to return after the international break is over.
I think this is good news again for Liverpool, especially with their condition which is not very good this season. On the other hand there are already a number of players they are eyeing on in this transfer and I'm pretty sure there will be some additions that will occur and they will not be as passive as before in this transfer.

Luis Díaz has started training again on the field and it is likely that he will return to competition again in the near future. What Luis Díaz needs to do is to keep training but maintain his health because so far Luis Díaz has not fully recovered and still needs good treatment. Luis Díaz has a young age as an attacker who is eagerly awaited by Liverpool to make a comeback.

This is quite good news even though it is very unfortunate that he did not get into the world cup but this is also a blessing in itself for Liverpool. hopefully when the league restarts later he will be ready in his previous condition because Liverpool still need him especially on the wing now even though he is still quite good but when Diaz is not there it is very difficult for Liverpool to run around the field and mess up the defense.

[Distraction]

Thanks for hitting the hammer on the nail, and Manchester United can not and should never rely on Marcus Rashford for a full season to score 40+ goals in a season. Antonio Martial has been Injured for sometime which have retarded the way he plays and his playing time, Manchester United should also look for a possible solution to him.

Really, they've got plans for the transfer window but who's that player, I'm still very keen to know, no longer sure if Cody Gakpo would make it to Manchester United after recent talks of his countries team mate..

Gakpo would be a solution for many things in the attacking line. He can just increase the activity there very much. Antony's arrival has helped about that actually but they are still dealing with finishing issues as we have talked about it. Gakpo is a player who is capable of increasing the score productivity by a big percentage. Although he is a left winger he has been fascinating with his scoring statistics also. He has had 13 goals and 17 assists in 24 matches already. This is enough to get the attention of bigger teams surely.

On the other hand Real Madrid are also among the rumoured teams to sign him. If they make a serious move for him than Manchester United should just forget about transferring him.

You and many other say think that Gakpo is the best deal for Manchester United, but I disagree because of one reason and the reason is because Gakpo is a winger just like Anthony, Rashford, Sancho, Martial, Garnacho and Elanga. Manchester United has many of his kind, the difference is that he is younger and reigning for now. My opinion is that Manchester United should go for a full fleshed striker like Victor Osimen of Napoli and Manchester United 

[SOKO-DEKE]

The derby game between Manchester United and Manchester City will be difficult for United to win because Haaland is feet likewise other big names in the team so united beating City will be a miracle.

With the way Manchester United is playing right now, beating Manchester City might be a little challenging for them. However, I still think they can win this game because they also have a better team squad which can play well against Manchester City, they just need better management. However, with the little progress we have seen from the new coach, we think Manchester United will play well against Manchester City and probably win.

Ronaldo is the best football player to ever play, thus Teg Hag's contempt wasn't appropriate. The worst aspect is how Ronaldo was treated—he was treated like a no-body. Regardless of how he performed, Ronaldo gave it his all and deserves greater recognition.

We all agree that Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time and has achieved global fame. However, Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United was terminated because of his advanced age and lack of contribution to the team. If the club wanted Ronaldo to leave because it was a financial decision, I don't believe he was treated unfairly. Do you prefer that Manchester United appreciate Ronaldo in a way that has an no impact on the club's operations? That is not how business is conducted. Even though Ronaldo had a successful season last year and this year, and this season he has no impact on club, that does mean they should leave in club doing nothing. Just believe Ronald is old and he as not to offer much in big clubs.

Last season, if I'm not mistaken, before Antony the priority was actually the name Gakpo there but indeed when the final moment Manchester United finally took Antony and didn't look back at Gakpo and now they want to target him again.
Gakpo is indeed more prioritized on the wing but indeed there are several other alternatives with him being a striker and trying out the 2 Striker formation for Manchester United.
However, the current price for Gakpo is clearly not cheap to buy.

There are some legends in few teams that played almost their whole career there and progressed with the team and resisted since they were able to achieve something at least locally. When it comes to Spurs, what they were able to do in the previous seasons? pretty much nothing.. No luck in EPL, in European competitions... Obviously Kane will try to improve elsewhere and get some rewards. Kane is a player that is professional, at the opposite of others, who make troubles with the coach and the team to force them to kick him. So he has to wait until he gets a chance to progress his career..

Cody Gakpo is one name I've been hearing  for a long period,and also been hearing of how good he is and the number of goals he has score at PSV.I believe this is what has made people recognize him in Europe.Moving to Manchester won't be a bad idea,but the problem is can he play in the EPL and still dominate the way he is doing at PSV?,but I know Osimhen of Napoli is a battler,someone who can strougle for goals and get the number of goals he wants in a club.
Manchester United will be without Ronaldo by January,and they need to get Atleast one striker between the both strikers,but I would have chose Osimhen of Napoli.

[M1cha3lM]

I reckon Newcastle could very easily get a top 4 spot this season.

Would be a very big statement in terms of 'oil money' and potential changes in Financial Fair Play

[Velvet78]

Harry Kane should have left much before than this time. Tottenham continued to leave the seasons behind without titles. Kane just wasted his time here so much in the meantime. He is called as one of the best strikers playing actively now. But it doesn't mean anything to him as long as there is no title achieved. If they have empty hands again then Kane would most probably leave at the end of the season.

He is 29 years old now. He can still sign for a more successful team. This time I don't think Levy can stop him.

[TopT3ns]

This is quite good news even though it is very unfortunate that he did not get into the world cup but this is also a blessing in itself for Liverpool. hopefully when the league restarts later he will be ready in his previous condition because Liverpool still need him especially on the wing now even though he is still quite good but when Diaz is not there it is very difficult for Liverpool to run around the field and mess up the defense.

We know that Liverpool in their last match had difficulty scoring many goals and the hope is that the return of this mainstay player from Liverpool can provide fresh air for Liverpool fans and the team because with Diaz they are eager to play and will often score lots of goals.

[SatoPrincess]

The reason why Liverpool's form dropped this much should be some mental problems. Of course they faced some injuries and had many missing players as a result. Diaz was one of them and we all know how important he is for the team now. He is trying to do his best to fill Mane's place in the team. His performance so far has already been impressive.

I think that liverpool didn't get mental problem. It can win against a big team. That proves that if the mental from liverpool was still good at this moment. The problem is when it comes to the inconsistent performance. Liverpool has capability to win against any big team in EPL but sometime it has a very bad performance during the match against the big club.
I think that liverpool didn't have mental problem for sure. the only problem that faced by liverpool was inconsistentcy with its performance.

What is clear is that at this time Mane position is still irreplaceable, Diaz and Nunez are still beyond expectations, that Liverpool still need aggressive players and have attacking instincts as well as being proficient in assists. Look at Nunez performance at the World Cup, just as he can't give his best. It still takes time for Nunez maybe 2 to 3 years he will be greater. But for now Liverpool needs a new player who can collaborate with Moh Salah on the front lines. Because Liverpool's attack structure is still ineffective.

Sadio Mane's position might seem irreplaceable because truly his departure from the club was premature and could have been avoided by the management. Its left for the new players to do their best to improve the squad and help the team get good results in their games so far. I suggest more signings in the January window to strengthen the team and boost options in vital positions. Liverpool are currently lacking quality in the team and need to make more signings.

[Rockstarguy]

I don't know if United are very happy with United at the moment. He had a very bad start to the competition by losing 2 games in a row, that's 6 points against significantly lesser opponents. If you had won those 2 games, the world would have looked very different of course. But if, that doesn't count. He will have to move up in the 2nd half of the competition, because it is more negative than positive how United have played football so far. The game against Liverpool was won, but Liverpool were not at their best. United is the only team to have beaten leader Arsenal, still a bright spot.

Of course not, a team will never be happy if it hasn't won a title. Manchester United appearance at the start of the season was very annoying, but after Ten Hag came, Manchester United appearance slowly got better. Manchester United are still trying to add strength in several lines, transfer market activity will be used to bring in the desired players.
Ten Hag has become a lamp when Manchester United is in the dark, this season Man United strength has not been completely perfect, Ten Hag will make all Manchester United fans satisfied with the trophy that will be presented as a long-awaited prize.

Manchester United as a team might not be happy that they have not won trophy for a long period of time it is understandable because it is their business but for Manchester United fans all over the world what they would want to see is a good football and if they see trophy then it is good also for them. The current coach of Manchester United has made Manchester United matches worth watching, before now nobody would want to watch Manchester United match because even if they win or they lose it is a football of misery.

Since Ten Hag became coach one can put hope on Manchester United of winning a game, Manchester United have become a team that anyone can vouch that they can perform well. With the way Manchester United is performing impressively in a few time they can be named among the winning teams.

It's true that mane was one of the best players in the club in the past years but I don't think that his departure is the main reason if what happening with them this year, they still have many good players that can score many goals and make the difference in any match, i think the main problem of Liverpool is the lack of confidence that they are experiencing since the beginning of the season
