Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I don’t even care about Goalkeepers arranging their defence but that reaction from Onana to Harry Maguire was over the top and the only reason he did that was because it is Maguire. I don’t think he can attack Varane like that or Rashford or Bruno Fernandes. I think Maguire is an easy target. Even his colleagues don’t regard him as much anymore. Wonder why the guy is still in Manchester United. He is suppose to force his way out because the abuse is becoming too much.

It seems like that you didn't even watch the highlight. It's better for you to watch it first. That mistake being made by meguire. It's common to see a goal keeper as the last wall for the club gave such a reaction. it's not normal to let meguire make more and more fault.
MU ended lost against dortmund which is unacceptable caused by it has been three times MU was losing in the friendly matches. As a defender and it becomes his main job to keep the club away from the opponent's attackers.
What you said above doesn't even make sense. It's likely you don't even watch it. Why shall goal keeper blame fernandes or rashford if they were not making fault like meguire?
It doesn't even make sense. Think about that. Have you never seen meguire make a blunder that made MU in disadvantage like the match against sevilla?

Well, at least as Blues fans, at least we hope that this club can play and compete at the top again. But to fight for the title is of course still too early for this newly reconstructed squad. Of course, the other team that Chelsea beat in pre-season, they certainly haven't shown their true game either. So you are right that for the time being we shouldn't be hasty in assessing this club. But at least a speck of hope is starting to emerge from the blues. And maybe that speck of hope will turn into an extraordinary reality in the season to come. Todd Boehly must have smiled a little this time. The disappointment he got last season must have been somewhat relieved by seeing the progress at the club he owns.

Positive pre-season results can certainly improve the mentality of Pochettino squad, Chelsea transfer policy of rejuvenating the squad is considered a good project. The average age of the players is 23.3, apart from that only Silva, Ziyech and Lukaku are aged 30+. But I'm a bit pessimistic for their EPL trophy next season, even though Pochettino can rule the locker room easily without a star player. I think Chelsea must have a formidable attack line by recruiting sharp strikers if they want to improve their ranking on the standings.

It is likely that Lukaku will definitely be released, and for Hakim Ziyech so far it is predicted that he will have the same fate. Chelsea are currently working on recruiting AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi to cover Fofana injury.

After Jordan Henderson decide to leave Liverpool and moved to Al Ettifaq currently there was a vacant position for Liverpool captain then it make Klopp have to decide who will be the next captain immediately and today it has been decided that their defender player Virgil van Dijk officially will be the next Liverpool captain and this is not a surprising decision by Klopp because last season van Dijk has been several times playing as a captain and i think this is right decision by Klopp because since arrived from Southampton van Dijk has important role for Liverpool squad and for the second captain Klopp has been choose Trent Alexander-Arnold

ETH is so mad to the club right now after the club has been facing some losses in a row. The first loss was against wrexham, madrid and then dortmund. The funniest thing i have ever seen was during the match against dortmund. Meguire again and again become the main actor that was triggering so many people to create another meme about him again. Megurie was doing some blunders which are affecting the performance of MU against dortmund. I don't know the reason ten hag didn't let meguire to go to the aston villa.

My social media feeds were filled with footage of Onana getting angry and scolding Maguire when he made a mistake that left Onana struggling with Dortmund's 1-on-1 chance that was saved and led to a corner.
Maguire always makes the same mistakes when trusted as one of the players on the pitch and the funny thing is that something like this is still tolerated by Ten Hag.

Wonder why the guy is still in Manchester United. He is suppose to force his way out because the abuse is becoming too much.

Indeed, what Andre Onana had done to scold Harry Maguire was very unexpected, even though Andre Onana was a new Manchester United player this summer, he did not hesitate to scold senior players and the former captain of the team. We know that at Inter, Andre Onana rarely looked upset because he was so close to Acerbi or Bastoni and his defenders rarely made mistakes in front of goal. But Andre Onana knows that before Harry Maguire often made mistakes or blunders when David De Gea was still the Red Devils goalkeeper, he immediately became firm and tried to discipline Harry Maguire.

About Harry Maguire, in fact some time ago West Ham had started making offers to sign him for £20 million but Manchester United rejected the offer and wanted a higher fee. I think if Manchester United had enough to accept the losses due to bringing in Harry Maguire in the past then the problem would be resolved quickly and we could rebuild the Manchester United squad for the better.

I hope that after the departure of the captain, Liverpool will not face difficulties again, as it was when Mane left the club... At the end of last season Liverpool started to show good results, how they have again drastic changes in the team... Would really hate to see them lose their playing form again...

[jaberwock]

Chelsea's win in their yesterday match against Fulham really impressed me not because of the winning but because of how well they performed and how they were able to play together like a team with a common team spirit.
Mauricio Pochettino will still have more tests to prove how well he's gone with his determination to make Chelsea a very strong club but he must take the positives from yesterday's win

After the worst end of last season things looking better for the Chelsea because they are having good depth and good coach which can bring back good days back now in this season they are having fair chance for the top four even competition is never been easy because we have five or six teams with same level and quality which can fight for the title race but as few already mentions Liverpool and Chelsea will be in advantage as these are fighting for the domestic cups not in big European race.

Start is good for the Chelsea as team giving good performance and have confidence as well which is also important for the start of this season because if they will go with this performance surely things could be acceptable, and they will be also able to have good chance of finishing at the top ranks.

I agree still here we have some issues which are also important like he is having very good salary which is not available in any other club and many are love to have things like these even they are ruin by their own colleagues as well few days back I read on social media he was ready to leave Manchester United, but he wants his all salary as written in contract but management refuse to talk about this so now most chances if we have no transfer then surely he is going to stay mostly on bench and will definitely ruin his career as well.

We have another offer from West Ham for the Harry Maguire with most chances this will be also rejected because Manchester Untied management feels this is not as par their requirement with few more things are also involved, hopefully we will have something better in coming days for the all parties from here.

But Andre Onana knows that before Harry Maguire often made mistakes or blunders when David De Gea was still the Red Devils goalkeeper, he immediately became firm and tried to discipline Harry Maguire.

Manchester United spent money to buy Onana because they needed a goalkeeper who can play well with his legs. We know that Harry Maguire is a central defender with very poor skills of passing with his legs and accuracy of his passes is very terrible.

It is a matter of time, sooner or later, Maguire and Onana will have argument with each other on field. We sometimes saw David De Gea and Manchester United players from defenders to midfielders and expand to his team mates in England national team, shown their disappointment and surprise with Maguire's passes.

We did not expect a new goalkeeper who joined the club not too long time ago, reacted strongly like this against their former captain. Well, I don't see it is a big matter if it can help they play better in defense.

I think if Manchester United had enough to accept the losses due to bringing in Harry Maguire in the past then the problem would be resolved quickly and we could rebuild the Manchester United squad for the better.

Maguire will not have chance to join other big clubs with his latest poor seasons in Manchester United. If you are a big club like Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, you will instantly say no with Maguire. Because he won't improve your defense but make it worse.

Current Liverpool's player, Van Dijk is senior player right now and automatically he will be captain teams for next season and second captain position have Trent Alexander-Arnold. New Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk joined Liverpool in season 2018/19 with 75 million euro and he has been 5 years in Anfield, its not wrong Jurgen Kloop choose him as captain team due consistent performance and always become first choose in defender position.

Actually Trent Alexander-Arnold have been long time with Liverpool but he still young player and difficult controlling his emotion for becoming first captain team, Van Dijck have winning several tittles with Liverpool from Primer League and UEFA Champion  League, will become captain team success give another Primer League tittle in this season?

The choice of Virgil Van Dijk to replace the captaincy after being left by Jordan Henderson does not seem to have caused controversy like that experienced by Bruno Fernandez at Manchester United whose leadership is doubted by football observers. Van Dijk proved himself to be a fairly respected player there apart from several other Liverpool players who were fairly senior there like their main goalkeeper Alison Becker. Van Dijk fits the captain's position because in the Dutch national team, he also plays the same role. Trent Arnold will become the main captain when Van Dijk leaves the club or when he retires from football.

I hope that after the departure of the captain, Liverpool will not face difficulties again, as it was when Mane left the club... At the end of last season Liverpool started to show good results, how they have again drastic changes in the team... Would really hate to see them lose their playing form again...

Jurgen Klopp understands the possibility, so reportedly he is still looking for another midfielder to replace the position left by Henderson and also Fabinho, when the season was still rolling Liverpool were rumored to be strengthening their midfield by buying at least 3-4 players to cover the weaknesses that occurred last season so they failed to play in Champions League, and Klopp believes that is their weakness and strengthening the midfield is the answer.

I don't think so. Looking at the situation it's quite natural and even if it's not Maguire a goalkeeper will react like that when a defender makes a mistake.
The goalkeeper's job is to keep the goal from being conceded and it must be supported by all the defenders so that it becomes one strong element and if there is a mistake from the defender then the goalkeeper will have difficulty which eventually concedes a goal.
An example of this was a few seasons ago when Lloris was angry at Son because he didn't chase the ball which would even lead to a fight in the dressing room. This is the same with Onana because it is the reaction of a goalkeeper who wants to keep the ball out of the net.

Maguire made a mistake even though it was a friendly match but a mistake is a mistake so he must be more able to minimize this. Not only for the team but for his own sake because he can still be said to be not too worthy of the price and salary he currently receives if his performance always misses a lot.

Erling Haaland is the top favorite again to become the highest goal scorer next season in the EPL, his chances are higher because he is a very prolific striker and he is complemented by a brilliant club like Manchester City which is the best team in England and Europe. Harry Kane scored a lot of goals last season and should have been the highest goal scorer if not for Haaland, if he stays in Spurs, i expect him to score many goals as he always does, but not more than Erling Haaland.

The purpose of Pep Guardiola picking Erling Haaland to be his frontline attacker was because he knew the crucial challenges the Norway international would displayed towards his opponents. Erling Haaland is a goal machine and a top striker for the cityzens, perhaps he doesn't have a good footings on the ball. But with previous development and improvements, the striker starting to develop and improve in all rounds as a quality striker just like Harry Kane. We shouldn't compared the newly incoming Erling Haaland to Harry Kane, ofcourse the englishman have been in Tottenham Hotspur for years without lifting a title, the possible chances is his club are reluctant in performance and not ready to win a title yet.

Haaland could indeed become the top scorer again next season. Last season he also scored 36 goals in one season which earned him the golden boot award as the top scorer in the premier league last season. And Haaland's condition has not changed and he could even be more productive in the coming season.

Talking about Harry Kane at this time he has become the second top scorer in the Premier League. The number one goalscorer in the Premier League is still held by Alan Shearer. But if Harry Kane can stay longer at Tottenham then surely in a few seasons he could pass Alan Shearer who has scored 260 goals. Meanwhile, Harry Kane has only scored 213 goals throughout his career in the Premier League. So that in 2 or 3 seasons Kane should be able to quickly catch up with the number of goals scored by Alan Shearer. But it is reported that Kane will most likely go to Bayern. Because now Bayern seems to be preparing their 3rd bid to get Kane's services.

It's a good thing that this was only a friendly match, but if it was officially in the Premier League or Champions League maybe I would join in highlighting Maguire's poor performance.
I think it's better for Ten Hag to anticipate this immediately because if it continues like this, Manchester United's condition will be the same as before where they lost by the mistakes of their own players.

David De Gea really endured all of those Harry Maguire errors countless games now same has been seen by Harry Maguire.  A player that has no winning mentally,  sluggishly stupid and lots of people back him to be Manchester United captain.  He has no leadership skill.
He will have to fight for his place in this Manchester United line up. Even in big games in the Premier League,  such mistakes would also be made. Erik Ten Hag should not be dependent on Harry Maguire. The loses are good they prepare the squad for the new season.

It is difficult for Maguire but for a player who was bought at such a high price Manchester United is not the right club for him.
He really messed up and indeed this is a pretty bad purchase for Manchester United.
With his performance like this I even doubt he will return to the squad when the EPL starts again because regardless it is very difficult to see him as a core line-up with his performance like this.

Outrageous or not I think it depends on the perspective of judgement because I think it's natural that Onana is angry with Maguire.
Maguire's mistake is difficult to accept because with the delay of the ball that is not right, this makes Onana have to experience a slightly difficult situation by trying to hold the opportunity from Dortmund so that a goal is not created.
I think some fatal mistakes last season have made him fully aware but things like this still continue to be repeated which is detrimental to his own club.

Im a not Chelsea fan, also want this team to return to its former glory and I dont have high hope, its just enough that this summer, Chelsea will compete consistently with better performance than last season and at least be able to climb to the top 5 in the standing. so there is no need to hope too much for chelsea to be able to compete in other bigger competitions, just focus on the quality of its performance in this premier league.
if the performance is consistent and you can see if you are able to move on to another competition, then you can start in the next season. Im sure that Pochettino will be able to pass the summer strong to give his best for chelsea future development even though it will be a very tough job but if Pochettino wants to solve the problems of Chelsea bad past he must try to contribute to this team patiently and find the best strategy.

Harry Kane scored a lot of goals last season and should have been the highest goal scorer if not for Haaland, if he stays in Spurs, i expect him to score many goals as he always does, but not more than Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland is a magnificent striker and he broke the all time record of Premier League with his first season in a league. What a talented and very goal-productive striker!

The next season will be important to re-assess Haaland quality and his ability to adapt to more challenges from defenders in Premier League. Other clubs, coaches and defenders, midfielders actually spent the last 12 months to make analyses about Haaland. Maybe they already found something and figured out tactics to reduce the danger of Haaland in a next season.

Right now Erling Haaland is one of the best striker in the world and Premier League without any doubt in coming season again he is going to dominate with his performance but if we have Mbappé then surely things could be interesting as well but currently no one going to challenge him and Manchester City for the another title if he is going to play without any injury.

We already have enough from him in last record-breaking season even few are expecting now teams will bring tactics for reducing his firepower and goal scoring ability, but he is still one of the best in business we can expect same level which will surely bring new challenges for new generation and many records could be break again which will exist for years here in Premier League.

This is all about the difference in pressure in those pre season games. They all know that nobody will tear them apart in the press when they lose a preparation game against a weaker team. It doesn't matter. The mental condition also doesn't matter because nothing is at risk unless they would lose a game like 0-7 against some second league team from I don't know where, but that usually doesn't happen. This will be about the start against Liverpool, that is when the pressure goes from 10% to 100% and everyone will see whether they are ready to make up for the embarrassing last season.

Building a strong team does require time and patience. Like Pep Guardiola, who undertook a makeover at Manchester City and demonstrated how consistency and tremendous achievements can be achieved. Chelsea young players require time to adjust and reach their peak performance. The side that advances the most will have a higher chance of winning, even though other teams like Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle are also changing. Preseason games may have shown promise competing against good EPL teams will be difficult. Chelsea performance might not be consistently excellent at the start of the new season due to the necessity for new players and adaptations. The secret to their success will be patience and tenacity.

For next season it is very clear that I will not expect more and maybe all Chelsea fans also realize that the club is still in the process of progress, so they will not expect too much and they will understand it. But for the next few seasons I am sure they will be a strong club. I wonder why Pochettino is willing to let go of most of his players, even some of his mainstays, but maybe Pochettino will indeed restart the squad from scratch, meaning with completely new players. They have been very busy in the transfer market and a lot of quality players are on their radar, Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku have been brought in as new ammunition, and the latest news is that I heard that Chelsea are joining the hunt for Mbappe from PSG, they are very excited after Liverpool's failure in the Mbappe hunt. If Chelsea manage to get Mbappe, then it would be a very good deal to help their progress, but whether Todd can afford the fantastic price from PSG, I'm not too sure.

I saw some video bad finishing by Rasmus Hojlund while with Atalanta. Actually as a striker 32 times played and 9 goals seems like a not very good statistic. But it looks like Ten Hag has another view. Perhaps his young age is enough to make Ten Hag confident that he can change the bad views of football observers. Many people also hope that Rasmus Hojlund can be Haaland's competitor and be the solution to the attacker's problems. At the moment Ten Hag has several options so Rashford probably won't be exhausted and injured a lot.

I also saw it because I was quite curious about the young players who really wanted to target Erik Ten Hag. In my opinion Rasmus Hojlund just needs the right coach, it doesn't matter if it's already in the hands of Erik Ten Hag. Hojlund could well develop the process would answer it all. So don't worry, it's just a matter of returning to yourself whether you dare to change or not. Because he is considered a talent who has the potential to become Haaland competitor based on several sources that I have read, but whether it is true or not, we will see later.

I saw some video bad finishing by Rasmus Hojlund while with Atalanta. Actually as a striker 32 times played and 9 goals seems like a not very good statistic.

His bad statistics together with the expensive cost paid by Manchester United make this transfer is funny and likely stupid for Manchester United. They look to be panic buying again and accepted the expensive price which is overpaid in my opinion.

But it looks like Ten Hag has another view. Perhaps his young age is enough to make Ten Hag confident that he can change the bad views of football observers.

He is young and he can improve his finishing skills but if you buy a player with expensive price, the player should be already good enough. I feel painful for Manchester United as with such statistics, they can use Martial with not big difference between two players. Paying very high price and hoping that the player will improve himself is ridiculous.

Many people also hope that Rasmus Hojlund can be Haaland's competitor and be the solution to the attacker's problems.

Is it an unrealistic hope from Manchester United, Ten Hag and their fans?

Very big differences between two players even before Haaland joining Manchester City and breaking records in Premier League. Haaland was already very goal productive in Salzburg and Dortmund, not like Hojlund.

At the moment Ten Hag has several options so Rashford probably won't be exhausted and injured a lot.

They need a good striker to replace Rashford when needed or to help Rashford getting chances to play as a winger at swings where he is most dangerous.
