Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Bobrox]

I believe Lukaku unwillingness to rejoin Chelsea has to do with the fact that he had to deliver for the club based on his huge sign on fee, he is expected to score goals consistently and any thing short of that won't please their fans, unfortunately Chelsea had lack a good striker for a long time, Abumeyang who ought to have been an option flopped and I don't think their new strikers Jackson and Nkunku will have an instant impact on the Chelsea being their first season in the club, personally I think Pochettino should include Lukaku in his plan I.e tactical formation and the fans should encourage him to give them his best by not putting too much pressure on him to deliver no doubt Lukaku is a very competent striker.

Personally, Lukaku want to stay with Inter Milan one year later but difficult option for Inter after Chelsea not opening again loan option and Inter must spent for transfer fees. Another side, Lukaku not guarantee will get regular position if return to Chelsea due have sign new forward Jackson and Nkunku.  Difficult choose for Lukaku and he should return to Chelsea and have fight to get regular position by consistency performance. I think new forward recruitment not as center forward and still has option for Lukaku with regular poaition but depend on Pochettino scheme he will push Nkunku or Jackson will be center forward or tries give chance for Lukaku.

Well, Lukaku case is very complicated and messy at the moment; its messy because Pochetino does not have Lukaku in his plans; Inter Milan does not want him to remain with them and AC Milan that likes his personality cannot afford him. With Nkunku, Aubamayang, Jackson all ahead of Lukaku its not looking good.

Meanwhile, Lukaku is being disrespectful not returning to training; he needs to fight this new challenge and make the most of it.

Liverpool are more interested in improving their midfield rather than their defense, they have quite a lot of problems in midfield and i think that's where most of their troubles stemmed from last season (though they were also bad defensively). Liverpool have signed both Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, two very good (and young) midfielders, i still expect Liverpool to sign at least one more midfielder as well as a defender and a striker. Jurgen Klopp's team were unable to challenge City for the title last season, but i think they are going to do that next season, but City still remain favorites of course.

Yes I see it that way too, Liverpool seem to be more focused on improving the midfield. Indeed, it seems that Klopp, as coach of the Reds, has not found the right formula or scheme in midfield for last season, because of this, Klopp wants changes in this sector. Liverpool's transfer market this time shows it and I agree with you.

After releasing Roberto Fermino to Al Ahli, they also released a lot of players this time on a free transfer. So far they have only brought in two new midfielders, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, both of whom are midfielders. There are a number of players who are being linked with a move to Liverpool next season, but looking at the transfer market they seem fit to have a lot of work to do in recruiting players. Regarding Man City's favorite team, Arsenal and Liverpool, I think they are the three leading clubs to challenge for the EPL title next season. But this is only an initial prediction and anything can happen in football like what Leicester City did in the 2016 season.

All coaches when in office of course the main goal is like that because it is impossible for a coach to want a setback for his team, as well as for Pochettino at this time who wants
This season the burden for him can be said to be big because after 2 failures in the previous coach there will certainly be a lot of attention for Chelsea and Pochettino next season.
Communication and mental improvement for the players especially for their young players is really very important in this case. When they manage to make some changes both in chemistry and spirit improvement then this will indirectly improve their performance but if this is still the same as before even if their possession is good like last season it still won't have any impact.

A big burden awaits Pochettino, since being appointed as the new Chelsea coach, he has been given the freedom to choose the player he wants. Chelsea also did not hesitate to spend big money to bring in players labeled stars. They also did not hesitate to let go of Kai Havertz and Mason Mount in order to be able to bring in the players Pochettino wanted.

Chelsea have high hopes for Pochettino due to the failure of his previous coach, Pochettino needs to make big changes to Chelsea appearance so he can compete in the top four positions. He must approach the players internally, the closeness of the coach to the players will create a harmonious atmosphere which will have a positive effect on their appearance on the field. Apart from having to choose the players according to his wishes, Pochettino needs to create good chemistry between the players, he must learn from Guardiola to form a team with a winning mentality.

I understand Chelsea now want a big change from Poche, but I hope they don't impose too much like high targets or something like that, because in my opinion, targets like that will disrupt the process of building a solid team.
I really understand that targets will always be there for a club, but I mean they have to be realistic about how they are now, whether it is possible to process quickly or vice versa.
For a coach, the trust given by the club will have a positive impact, whatever the coach will do they must fully support without any excessive intervention, because today Chelsea need a team framework that they must build first.

Do you have the same thoughts as me? Yes, I think the absence of Ngolo Kante is one of the causes of Chelsea's loss of balance last season especially, because he is a very active midfielder and provides a lot of comfort in Chelsea's game, but his absence makes Chelsea's game look like something is missing. Next season he will also no longer be in a Chelsea shirt, as he will follow Benzema as a free agent.

Manchester City will perpetually be the champions of the English Premier League. Regarding next season, Pep Guardiola's men are consistent and fiercely competitive, and the cityzens are ready to put up a fight. Elite clubs are assembling their resources in order to compete for the EPL next season, and I expect them to fulfill their obligations. Liverpool has made key spending in the transfer window, with midfielders being the primary focus this summer. Jurgen Klopp adds a couple outstanding midfielders to his squad's engine room, I guessed Klopp already fixed his squad.

Meanwhile, Lukaku is being disrespectful not returning to training; he needs to fight this new challenge and make the most of it.

What are you going to do when you're unwanted in the workplace though? I get it that he has to be professional but let's be realistic here. It's still tough to show up when you already know that the manager has no plans for you. He can take the penalty for not showing up and stay in good shape while waiting to be transferred or sold. Let's keep in mind that he's no longer that up and coming player that's trying to prove something.

[Luzin]

David De Gea is definitely gone, Hag is eyeing Onana from Inter. Reportedly they almost reached an agreement. Reportedly Man United are preparing €55 million to become number 1 at Man United. If we look at Inter, he is a modern goalkeeper. He is very confident holding the ball to pull the opponent closer. This means that it fits perfectly with Ten Hag's coaching style. He is a coach who likes to make attacks from below. But maybe the style of presing in England will be more ruthless than Italy, I hope if Onana comes he will play as well as he did at Inter.  

[asriloni]

The drama from lukaku is still going on.



It's gonna be even worse if intermilan will not be able to pay on such range. I meant lukaku must be kicked from chelsea to go to the strasbourg rather than sold him to the intermilan.
I think that chelsea shall put inter on its bans for the future transfer. Chelsea gonna suffer huge lose if lukaku will be sold only in that range.
Chelsea has been making huge profit from selling one of its academic player mason mount but againa and again. Lukaku is just a burden for chelsea.
The club needs to ban him for the future transfer. Lukaku deserves no spot in chelsea has he doesn't even have respect to the club.
Let's wait what's gonna be the result from the talk between intermilan and chelsea.

[nara1892]

I don't know if there is this cordial relationship Chelsea had with reuse of Coaches but I hope to see Chelsea among the top teams by the beginning of the season maybe Pochettino will be a moving train for them.

I know that you have high hopes for Chelsea next season, but this transition process cannot be underestimated just because a new coach has been brought in. Pochettino has a number of positive achievements but that is not enough because the composition of Chelsea's players with PSG cannot be compared when it comes to immediately rising to the top of the standings or competing with teams that have stabilized earlier. At least Pochettino can show improvement defensively first, no need to promise too high, well at least Chelsea finishing in the top 5 is enough for next season. You also need to know that currently player recruitment is still ongoing, so there's nothing we can see further about the progress until all are completed and appear in the next season.

Andre Onana is keeper every team needs in their team.He performed well in the just concluded Champions league finals.And kepk the most clean sheet in Seria A, he will be Manchester united keeper, the door is open for him, i read he has accepted personal terms with Manchester united. by next week the both clubs will sort out his move. David Degae departure is an evidence that Manchester united will spent all their transfer wisdow budget just to get Onana.

He should suit Ten Hag's game because Ten Hag chose him to be at Manchester United and with David de Gea's departure confirmed, Onana will be the main goalkeeper, if Onana fails then it will be a big mistake for Ten Hag and a loss for the team which he is building to be able to perform better next season.
Last season Ten Hag managed to get Manchester United to win a title and of course next season they hope to get even more, especially to get better results in Europe, and Ten Hag hopes that Onana can live up to his expectations.

Now seeing that Lukaku has ended his loan period with Inter Milan, it is appropriate for him to return to Chelsea and return to training in the Chelsea squad. He has to give his professionalism to the Chelsea team because he is a Chelsea player who is still under contract. For now I think Pochettino will continue to make improvements in the Chelsea squad to get back into a squad that is really capable of giving a good push at the start of next season.

Lukaku has to forget all the bad memories and he has to return to the team, that's the maturity he can show for now. Even though he is no longer comfortable at Chelsea, he is still a Chelsea player and if the contract is terminated, maybe it will be a different story.

But that is exactly what he wants Chelsea to sell him or terminate his contract, it's just that Chelsea don't want to do it they are still waiting if there is a better offer from Inter Milan. Chelsea spent 112 million when signing him and now they're willing to let him go for 40 million meaning Chelsea is ready to lose more than 50% I wonder why Chelsea didn't let him go to the Saudi League when there was an offer.

I believe Lukaku unwillingness to rejoin Chelsea has to do with the fact that he had to deliver for the club based on his huge sign on fee, he is expected to score goals consistently and any thing short of that won't please their fans, unfortunately Chelsea had lack a good striker for a long time, Abumeyang who ought to have been an option flopped and I don't think their new strikers Jackson and Nkunku will have an instant impact on the Chelsea being their first season in the club, personally I think Pochettino should include Lukaku in his plan I.e tactical formation and the fans should encourage him to give them his best by not putting too much pressure on him to deliver no doubt Lukaku is a very competent striker.

Lukaku has the ability to produce on the field, but he may be unable to handle the weight of living up to his transfer value and Chelsea's expectations. But maybe this is exactly the kind of difficulty that Lukaku needs to develop as a player. Since Jackson and Nkunku have recently been added to the squad, he may not be Pochettino's first option. What does that prove? Perhaps this will spur him on to break over his comfort zone and prove his worth to the team.But if things go badly, he may start to miss the tranquility of Inter Milan.

Jurgen Klopp's team were unable to challenge City for the title last season, but i think they are going to do that next season, but City still remain favorites of course.

Not a surprise from the beginning that they were interested in signing midfielder than any other positions. They know that they lack strong midfielders right now and they have made some really great signings. However, I am curious to see how Klopp is gonna use Szoboszlai who mostly played as winger at Leipzig. There were two names they were quite interested when they were in advanced stages with Mac Allister transfer, now I don't see much updates regarding that. One more midfielder will be good but I would say they have two very great potential players- Harvey Eliott and Curtis Jones so it's not a big worry but yeah a decent midfielder will be good to sign,

I am expecting a really strong season from Liverpool. They are not a kind of team to let down their fans twice.

No one would have thought that Andre Onana could get Manchester United so interested in signing him and at no small cost for a goalkeeper, Manchester United did it for Andre Onana to stay at Old Trafford. But I think it's worth it considering the contract agreement reached with Andre Onana lasts for the next five years. On the other hand, Manchester United wants to take Andre Onana on a pre-season tour in America later and of course Erik ten Hag hopes that Andre Onana will be ready to play a match before the official EPL matches next season start.

Arsenal sold Xhaka to Leverkusen for 25 million euros. I think it was a very good transfer for Arsenal who wanted a change in the midfield.
Atletico madrid, on the other hand, added both cesar azpilicueta and çağlar söyüncü to their squad for free. In defensive terms, adding these players for free is a great success for them and we can say that they are strong.
Masoun Mount was transferred from Chelsea to United for 64.5 million euros.

But i think, maybe would be great if Granit Xhaka and Kai Havertz can play in one team because then, then i'm sure Arsenal's midfield will be very good. But yes, the composition like that seems cannot be realized because it looks like Arsenal also need to sell some players to be able to bring Kai Havertz in this transfer window. So, if Arteta prefers Kai Havertz over Xhaka, then it looks like Arteta next season will play even more attacking than last season, it's like planning to build a squad that is more aggressive in attack.

The presence of Havertz and Rice at this time will highlight something new and the possibility of 4-3-3 can be a good option for Arsenal, only indeed for the current midfielders filled by Odegaard and Havertz and as cover there will be Rice behind them. This is still a possibility because for the attacking line they are also not too worried because Martineli, Gabriel and Saka can be very good.
Honestly for now Arteta when the midfield has a change then indeed they can do anything at this time with the desired scheme in my opinion it just depends on Havertz and Rice too will they immediately adapt well or not.

[Iranus]

You are right, As there is still a lot of time before the transfer period ends. Hence, several more changes can be seen within Chelsea's squad. However, the main weakness of Chelsea's squad was not their players last season. Their match strategy was not good. If coach Poch's match strategy is good then maybe better performance can be expected from Chelsea. Another important point is that Chelsea will not play in the Champions League or Europa League. So they can fully focus on the Premier League. I would say everything will depend on coach Pochettino.

Pochettino had to build this team from scratch again after they overhauled many players and even many of Chelsea's main players left so in my opinion this team needs time to process longer to get to top performance again.
Pochettino may have a lot of experience in the Premier League but what you have to know is that the competition in the Premier League is very fierce and it is very difficult to be in the top ranks, so far I have seen the changes made by the Chelsea team and I am very pessimistic that they can do better at Next season.

I agree with you. The Premier League is a very competitive league. Here many teams compete for the title. And there are about 5/6 teams whose squads are very strong. And so it is much more difficult to survive in the competition here. It is not easy to compete with big teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. So even though Pochettino is experienced enough, Pochettino needs time to stabilize a team as close to collapse as Chelsea. Pochettino will build a strong Chelsea squad next season, and it is highly unlikely that they will challenge for the title.

Many players are currently relocating in the Premier League. Many teams sold their key players and started preparations for next year by making new transfers. Looking at the players leaving Chelsea, I think the team needs to do something to get stronger. To be honest they make a lot of money but they don't transfer new players to replace the players who left the team, they can't be successful that way

Teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea did not perform as well as expected last season. And so before the start of this season, they have to make some important changes within the squad. Wanting and wanting to make the team stronger. However, it is not possible to predict whether the team has been strengthened. But almost every team is spending a good amount of money to buy players. From this, it can be assumed that the Premier League will be more crowded in the next season. A number of teams will be fighting for the title, as well as a number of teams fighting for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool are currently having ongoing talks with Southampton player,  I'm not so sure but I got to read something about it on twitter from a Liverpool group I'm in. They didn't have much issues with midfielder's last season, though I love the upgrades . seeing and likewise the signatures.

Liverpools head coach Kloop hasn't gotten to sign a defender, Virgil van Dirk did poorly last season, I'm still not sure he'll improve, he lets his teammates do defending jobs for him. In as much as they want to sign midfielder's, they should get to sign a defender or a youngin that can defend very well in place of Arnold who is back defensively.
