Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

The red card issue actually destabilized the entire game plan for Chelsea, from the replay of that tackle, and if it were to be some referee they might have considered that tackle as not a red card offense but should have been decided as a yellow card offense rather, the tackle in my opinion was not that intentional as they offender went for the ball first before matching on the opponents leg.  Anyways, performance was bad and Chelsea did have ample opportunity to have gotten a goal but they couldn't utilize any.

Pochettino might as well count his days as headcoach of Chelsea because his clock is ticking, the supporters keep echoing and chanting about his sack during games at Stamford Bridge. Losing 1 nil was a dissapointing results for the blues, they never expected a red card for the defendlines. Malo Gusto tackle was probably based on gaining the ball, but with irrelevant raising up his boot towards his opponent, making it everything clear as a deliberate action. Chelsea previous game against Aston Villa, experiencing defeat was not part of the plan, instead they would have settle for a draw tie.

I agree with you and I think Pochettino as well knows that with the way things are going with Chelsea he may not longer be incharge of the club if Chelsea don't experience a positive change from now till end of September. Not only the supporters of Chelsea are chanting for him to be sacked but the players also are being fed up playing under him because it seems their performance can't improve under him and I see no confidence in him again as the head coach of Chelsea.

I can feel the pain which Chelsea fans are feeling, there expectation was too high on pochettino, there expectations was high on the players pochettino signed, but there is not Changes in there performance,  it’s even getting worst, 5 matches have been played this season, and Chelsea won just 1 match, drew 1 match and loses 3 matches. It really bad for club that just spent huge amount of money signing player’s. I will say pochettino should be given more time, if Chelsea can sack him, they are just adding more problems to the existing problems, he should be given more time, let’s see if he will be able to solve Chelsea current problem with time.

Pouchettino might loose his managerial role at Chelsea due to their poor performance this season after spending much to  put the team back in shape, alot of fans are already complaining anout the incompetency of the manager and sooner or later the board might consider finding a replacement for him, , i feel so bad for Pouchettino already cause he's doing his best to help the team succeed but nothing is working for them currently.

Manchester United have lost the rhythm of their current game. There is not much understanding among the team players due to which the team is not doing well. The coach of the team now needs to find something great to make it profitable for the team.

I belive the gradual recovery of United players woulld help the team get back in form and very soon we'll start seeing Manchester United playing good football again,  Manchester unoted failed to invest on their defence this summer now they're
paying for it because their  present defence keeps making errors that makes them to concede goals

There's alot we're observing about the condition of Chelsew, they're the worst elite club presently in EPL. They have no improvement in league games, just the same old Chelsea last season, with branded new mediocre players. I just hope the clock doesn't hit injury time before the blues are able to stand back on there feet. Mauricio Pochettino have no single experience to manage Chelsea, he's just like the former coach, Graham Potter that demoted the performance of the club from elite to average club, they struggled to score goals and earn points.

Pochettino still has the opportunity to immediately improve his squad. I am very surprised by Chelsea's performance this season even though they have potential young players who of course have high fighting power to win in every match. But what happened, the Blues players seemed to have no motivation to give their best to their fans.

Due to Chelsea's poor results again, Pochettino's position as manager will again be at stake, he may be fired again if he is unable to produce a win. If we refer to the schedule, it will be difficult for Pochettino to bring Chelsea back up. Maybe the Argentine man's only chance will be against Fulham and Burnley, the rest of the time the Blues will face elite EPL teams in a row.

Well, many may not agree but Chelsea performances this season under Pochetinno has not been awful; instead the results have been terrible because there are no one at the end of the chances created to score a score; also with many injuries, Chelsea have had to rely only on Raheem Sterling to create chances and also score goals.

With players returning from injury; i think Pochetino can begin to get the desired results. Chelsea has no choice than to back their manager at this point.

I think a lot of people would agree that the result is what’s important. We’ve seen games where a team, having the lower odds, go into a match with a supposedly better opponent and despite having very poor statistics in the game, they come out winner. And everyone recognizes the winner irrespective of how poor they played.
So I think Chelsea’s performance hasn’t been all that good as they’ve lost a good majority of total games played. That isn’t a good performance.

About Chelsea backing its coach, I think loads of support and encouragement can go a long way in making progress.

[puloweh555]

Chelsea's decline is difficult to understand, although many say they are too young and inexperienced but I don't think that's the right reason. I suspect there are other problems that might cause the Blues' performance to plummet. Conditions in the dressing room or perhaps less harmonious management could be the main cause. There was news in several media that stated that Bruno Saltor and Claude Makalele had also left, maybe there was something wrong even though it didn't come out to the public. I think Boehly must immediately improve the non-technical side so that Chelsea's condition returns to stability.

Apart from the factors like you said which made Chelsea experience setbacks. I look at Chelsea now, I understand that as the new owner, Boehly wants a major revolution by overhauling the existing squad. The only thing I regret is, in the transition era it was not done gradually but immediately 'throw away' all the players from the Abramovic era without first retaining the pillar players as the framework of the team.

Maybe another factor was the purchase of players who were in a hurry, eager, all of them were bought and most of them were young players. As usual, if young players are not guided by senior players in their team, they will have difficulty developing because of their egos, and this has also been said by Frank Lampard before, that Chelsea players find it difficult to unite and there is a lack of solidarity in a team.

You should watch a review of Chelsea against Aston Villa to see the chances Mudryk was creating for the team but literally every one of them in the centre forward was sleeping that day, Enzo played well but I was not interested and Sterling was not making sync with what ball that was cross to him many times. If I'm Pochetinno, I will address this before the next match and make sure it doesn't repeat but you will be surprised that they will do worse in the following round of matches.

Manchester had just finished their match with Crystal Palace in the EFL cup and they are still showing signs of a team that can recover quickly, I want to see them repeat the same thing here in the Premier League to advance as quickly as possible to climb further away to the top, there is no point. I heard Ten Hag is trying to host his players with a Barbecue to unite players and mutual understanding between him and some players, I hope that works out well for the benefit of the team.

Manchester United 3 - 0 Crystal Palace

It was a dominant win today for Manchester United; as they had an excellent performance and also a great win for the first time this season under Ten Hag who has been under immense criticism. Do you think such good performances will continue ?

This is an impressive performance for Manchester United; they dominated the game from the start and played very well in the match, unlike the way they played in the Premier League. I think if Manchester United can keep up with such a performance in the Premier League, they will slightly get back to form since I can see that Raphael Varane is back in the team. I think his presence will give Manchester United’s defense confidence and will create fear in the presence of strikers since he is an experienced defender.
 
Although Manchester United has always won while playing at Old Trafford against Crystal Palace, in the beginning of the game I was expecting the match to be tough due to Manchester United's form so far, but they played well to show the entire world that they will soon bounce back strong in the Premier League.

[Ojima-ojo]

Chelsea have fought alot of battle since the beginning of the war and this have afected the clubs performance in varius leagues and for that we have to make some proper analysis at ro unravel what really isnat stake with Chelsea because at the moment, the club have not realy provide anything significant result that will support the possibility of the club to attain any significant height.


Some ways and how, we may likely see some positive moves in the near future withbthe club, but at this moment we have alot of likelihood that if Chelsea puts in the right efforts we may see a little positive result from the club.

[RockBell]

Of course it is surprising that most people chose Chelsea to win against Aston Villa, but on the contrary, Malo Gusto's foul on Digne by making a tackle too high towards Digne's shin was of course a disaster for Chelsea and they immediately received a red card. the following minutes. second round. and only 10 Chelsea players remained to play. This was an opportunity for Aston Villa to put more pressure on Chelsea's defense, but it was not that easy because Chelsea's defense was very tight and the match became increasingly heated until the final minutes of the match ended.
Until extra time went on for the match, both teams failed to score and Aston Villa finally won with a score of 1-0 against Chelsea.

one way or the other I would have also given Chelsea a benefit of doubt or the game-ending draw from the game Aston Villa's performance was impressive and it was looking as if Chelsea was aggressive towards them all in the name of them trying to win. Gusto's foul was clear and from his gesture wanted to claim innocence even before the red card was issued it was confirmed by VAR and when Chelsea was one man down the advantage was sharply taken by Aston Villa. if not that Chelsea was one man down there is a high possibility that the game might end draw. the premier league is getting more interesting, the way most of these clubs are flexing muscles is just surprising.  especially clubs like Tottenham.

-snip-

The problem is not only from the defender the whole team lacks confidence especially the midfield area, they're not really working hard to mark their opponents and recover the ball,  I wonder how they got to this point, they lack creativity, team spirit and play like they're not training enough, if you noticed the ball was always going to the back and it felt like Manchester United defense where the only ones enjoying the game in their team, Marcus has to work on his pride, he needs to start working with Højlund because he fails to release passes at the accurate time to him

This means that the real point is that there are many shortcomings or lacks in Man United, even the coach too. Well, this is complicated. There has to be a major overhaul, but the problem is with the typical ten Hag, whether he wants it. Luckily they won yesterday when they played against Burnley, so they have at least got 2 wins so far. Otherwise, they would really be reviled, especially by their fans.

And in the next match, they will face Crystal Palace. Even though this is a middle-class club, they have been able to trouble Man United several times. So, they must continue to be vigilant and not underestimate the club. Ten Hag must be truly focused and optimal in developing strategies. And makes the players even more motivated even though currently they really seem to be experiencing a very low drop in motivation.

Is this prolly a turnaround for UTD?? If yes, then it's definitely not a late start... I kinda like see Newcastle UTD as Thier greatest competition now, especially since they've been on fine form since the start of the season...
The great win against Sheffield united was bustling... Looked Abit like Sheffield would running through the relegation zone this season. I really like the composure in today's game and I commend Ten hag for that.

This is League Cup game and have no place in Premier League thread. Don't spam off-topic posts here.

Chelsea can't score. They couldn't score in any of the games they played in September. This is their biggest problem and they have to fix that before anything else. They lost two games 1-0. When you can't score no matter how good you defend, it doesn't really matter. Opponents find one good position and score and take 3 points.
They have good strikers, Sterling and Nicolas Jackson but when they can't score midfielders and other players need to step up. When was the last time Chelsea score from free-kick or corner? I don't really remember.
Chelsea board is backing Pochettino for now but if this bad streak goes on they can't back him up anymore.

This is actually the best performance I've seen from Manchester United so far this season, and the did very in defending their trophy in the opening game in the EFL tournament and i think the rotation of the team really helped in their success today, if you noticed several 1st team starters were bench,  the coach featured Gernacho instead of Marcus Rashford and Martial instead of their preferred striker Rasmus Hojlund, and pellistri started today on the left wing.

 I waa also suprised that the coach played Amrabat out of his preferred position to the left wing area and he really performed very well he was very brilliant today and gave his all for the teams sucess,mason mount was also very good today, he came back from injury with a good form and gave a assist,but the most brilliant of all was  Casimiro and i think he deserved the man of the match award.

[Sakanwa]

In fact, Nkunku is a striker who can fill that gap, but no one knows exactly what Chelsea needs. Chelsea should be a very good team, but they still don't look good. I think the only way for them to get out of their troubled times will be the coach's attitude towards the players. He should warn them to be a team and remind them where they play.

I Think the offense and defense are having problems for Chelsea right now, which indicates that the team is having a difficult time. And Changing managers alone won't address the fundamental issues. Boehly must be cautious while adding players, matching them to the team actual needs. It is essential to have a powerful, experienced striker, regardless of whether Pochettino stays. Supporters must be realistic in their expectations and allow the process some time. Making hasty judgments could make Chelsea situation worse. Given the team current situation managing it would be difficult. Chelsea comeback will depend on perseverance and wise signings.

Chelsea are facing a bad phase at the moment,and it will take a coach that really knows how to manage players and someone that is good enough bro be able to revive the spirit of the team at the moment.At the moment,any team at the premier league can win Chelsea because they lack that team coordination and formation to be able to win teams.But the most annoying part of it is the amount of money they have spent on these players that are currently at the club,but they are still not yet performing as they were supposed to.It takes someone who is very special,to take on the job at Chelsea and start performing well or start making the team do well on the pitch .

[AndySt]

I agree with you and I think Pochettino as well knows that with the way things are going with Chelsea he may not longer be incharge of the club if Chelsea don't experience a positive change from now till end of September. Not only the supporters of Chelsea are chanting for him to be sacked but the players also are being fed up playing under him because it seems their performance can't improve under him and I see no confidence in him again as the head coach of Chelsea.

Positive changes in Chelsea's game will come when the injured players, which are necessary for Pochettino's system of play, recover. Another question is that if the team's results do not improve in the near future, then Pochettino's resignation may follow, although his guilt is not so obvious yet. In this situation, a head coach who does not have his own style and skillfully uses the available players in each particular match would achieve great results, but for a club of Chelsea's level of ambition, this is a way to nowhere, because it works well with average clubs, but you cannot build a leader's team in this way. Therefore, we still need to be patient and let them work calmly with the team.

Still not sure as some sources say they're still having internal issues with other players - perhaps this win will lift their spirits despite the fact that they face Cryastal Palace this week.

Newcastle have lost back-to-back games in the Premier League I wouldn't say it's been a good start to the season as they're currently near the middle of the table still a long way from competing with the other teams although I know it's only been a few weeks.

Will Newcastle be the same as last season? I think they can maintain their form but we need to know how Eddie Howe's changes will work this season.

Ten Hag is more criticized now.

[Wend]

Son Heung-min scored twice in the draw with Arsenal. Arsenal took the lead twice Tottenham but, in the end, had to accept a point split because of Son Heung-min's excellence. Son had an excellent match as a leader as well as a player. He may be given a new contract with a record salary by president Daniel Levy after a series of extremely impressive performances. Everyone thinks Son Heung-min lost his number 1 partner in attack when Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich. But James Maddison did his job too well. He helped Son shine. James Maddison and Son will be the new couple to help Tottenham.

Well, you'd have to admit that Son's goals in the game added to boost his confidence and in an after match interview, you could see him boasting that Arsenal are not up to their standard and that if it hadn't been for some timely saves David Raya, the Gunners would have conceded more goals. I agree that Tottenham are on fire this season and so far are amongst the four clubs that haven't been defeated but don't you think he went too far by belittling Arsenal?
 Arsenal seem to have brought this upon themselves if I should say because by now, a team like them should have outgrown some little mistakes and I watched the build up to the second goal for Tottenham, the Gunners just left their defenses open and Son maximized the opportunity and used it to punish them. I'm beginning to feel their £200m spent on purchasing players was a mistake or am I concluding too early?
Most fans believe that Tottenham needed that draw more than Arsenal. Do you agree?

That's right, and a draw scenario is what Tottenham needs more because Arsenal is rated higher than Tottenham and has a home-field advantage.
Gabriel Jesus is the reason why Arsenal let Tottenham draw. In matches like this, when Arsenal cannot finish off their opponents, Arsenal will have to pay the price. If Gabriel Jesus had scored and Arsenal were 2-0 up, things could have been different. Arsenal's inability to convert opportunities into goals is becoming a problem. This result caused the Gunners to widen the gap with Man City to 4 points and only ranked 5th. More seriously, coach Arteta also has to face an "injury storm" after this match.
