Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Jody.Drummer]

I've watched the Red Devils crumbled in few years, it's so pain for any Manchester United fan currently.

Their heyday ended after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. Yes, there are some moments where they can still compete but when comparing to what we saw when Sir Alex was still with Manchester United it is a result that is still quite far away. Manchester United have lost their identity and in recent years they have become increasingly unreliable. Oh yes, I'm actually someone who likes to bet on Manchester United, but for now I don't dare to take risks and bet on them. Something that I see from them is something that cannot be expected now.

The players of Manchester United display a lack of speed, physicality, and energy, making them prone to losing possession too easily. Some of these players might not be the right fit for a team like United. Bruno Fernandes is a surprising choice as captain. Players like Fernandes, Antony, and Martial might not make it into a top-tier squad. United is quite far from reaching the level of City. They conceded three goals without a response. Ten Hag appears to lack effective tactics for big games.

Furthermore, they are like a club that has learned firsthand to face opponents that are several times stronger.
There is nothing to see from what they tried to play in yesterday's match and even funnily enough, Maguire, who is often a mockery at Manchester United, was the most stable in this match.
They want to try to keep up with what Manchester City are doing but they can't do that because the difference in their strength is quite large.

Another interesting thing in this match, Antony returned to play but he immediately acted up on the pitch lol.
Next week they play against Newcastle, I hope they are better than this week.

Although with all their strength Manchester United want to match the game from Manchester City, but we can see the difference in strength between these two clubs. Manchester United we know they are not doing well, on the other hand Manchester City are much better prepared in this match. Indeed, in the last few matches Manchester City also faced some problems, but when compared to what Manchester United experienced, of course they were better from any point of view.
The final score shows that there is a gap in strength between these two clubs, Manchester United is in a slump.

Quoting my yesterday post.

Congratulations Chelsea for the another lose, this has been expected by many people because Chelsea is a weak club. Today we will see an another overrated weak club like Chelsea aka Manchester United will lose too against Manchester City.

Congratulations for Manchester United able to follow Chelsea's path.

People who say Haaland is nothing without De Bruyne need to watch this match, Haaland almost scored 4 goals if Onana didn't block his shot and header. This is what Manchester City, full pressure from the first minute until the end.

It seems McTominay is better to play in attacking midfielder since he currently the top scorer in Manchester United.

How many chances have been created by Scott Mc Tominay? Manchester United have a very good attacking midfielder, you see those so called attackers are flops ( Rashford ).

I'm not a fan of Man United, but I won't scroll by and let you say such things about Rashford. I'm not speaking generally about the entire Man U attack, only specifically about Rashford. In yesterday's game, he played well. The only issue was that luck was not on his side. He delivered good crosses, but none of them could be utilized. Rashford is a good player, and you know that. When looking at the Man United team, they have only one good midfielder who played well yesterday, and his impact alone cannot help the team score. All the balls were played from the midfield to the flank by Man City. The midfield was so open, which made every Man City player so relaxed to play the game. The absence of Casemiro was felt.

This match shows that ten Hag was unable to create a team that could compete for the championship, moreover, I doubt that they have a chance to finish this season in the top 4. For ten Hag, everything is even worse, I guess that he could lose his place on the team. Manchester United scored only 11 goals in 10 rounds, a very bad indicator, the same goes for the defense, they concede a lot and obviously ten Hag is not able to change this.

[temple]

Compared to the last season, Manchester City's performance this season is very slow. Two very important midfield players are missing from the squad. Gundogan is out and De Bruyne is out with the squad due to injury. And this is why Manchester City is not able to show strong dominance this season like last season. However, with Guardiola, Manchester City's performance is strong enough.
City's performance against Manchester United was very composed. Guardiola knew Manchester United's weaknesses very well. And accordingly he developed his match strategy. So Manchester City won't have any problem to win this match. Manchester City won by 3-0

This is probably something that Pep Guardiola might have underestimated. Of course he couldn't foresee that De Bruyne will suffer from a severe injury and miss so many games, but the risk was there as this isn't the first time De Bruyne got injured and it is the same body part. Letting Gundogan go and then also see De Bruyne get injured was bad for them as they really have been the center of Manchester City's game last season. Not only that, they also scored a lot of important goals. I think it was the best season Gundogan ever played, but if I remember correctly he also was a free agent by the end of the season, so there wasn't really a whole lot of things that Pep could do to convince him except for offering a lot of money, but I am sure Gundogan really wanted to try out something new.

Guardiola should have tried to keep Gundogan in the squad. Because Gundogan was one of the best and most experienced players in Manchester City's squad. However, Gundogan was let go by Manchester City. Perhaps Guardiola thought De Bruyne would be able to stabilize Manchester City's midfield. But when De Bruyne suffered an injury the whole scenario changed. That probably wasn't in Guardiola's plan. Because we haven't seen De Bruyne deal with too many injuries in the past. However, Manchester City is unlikely to have De Bruyne with the squad this season. They should try to add an experienced midfielder to the squad in the next winter transfer window. A few days ago I heard rumors that Guardiola is interested in bringing Toni Kross from Real Madrid. If Kross joins City's squad, Manchester City's midfield might be a bit stronger.
[/quote]

But Kroos would also be a temporary solution at best. Pep Guardiola likes high speed midfielders who still have some years to play. Nobody knows whether Kroos is also about to become more prone to injuries. Kroos turns 34 in a few months and will be 34.5 years old when he could leave Real Madrid and go to Manchester City. I highly doubt that he would be a potential transfer target for pep Guardiola. Manchester City has had some great years with their midfield players, but it is now time to develop a new midfielder line. They still have great midfielders like Grealish, Foden, Silva, etc, but De Bruyne as a midfielder is the same as Haaland as a striker.

Man United deserved defeat, because Man City dominated in everything, they were unable to give Man United the opportunity to open the goal. It cannot be denied that Rashford's movements are very closed and even seem ineffective if he doesn't have the right partner. Apart from that, Haaland has made Man United his favorite goalscorer in the Premier League. In total, while defending Man City, Haaland has collected more than 7 goals at Man United. Erik Ten Hag was unable to solve the strategy puzzle implemented by Pep Guardiola, so from this match it was clear how little attack Man United built.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Congratulations to Erik Ten Hag, he'll continue getting more poor results with the use of Marcus Rashford, Even Pep Guardiola drop his best players just to show them, they are drop-able if they don't perform well.

What a congratulations given to someone who has last it this season 😂, I ones said it that second season syndrome will affect him and Man UTD fans should stop the hype. I don't understand why you speak as if ETH have any other player to replace Rashford? Check the bench and tell me who's better to play ahead of him (Rashford). Manchester United don't have what Manchester City have so even compare, even if is a cripple ETH would use just to complete the squad. And you can't drop the highest paid of Manchester United (correct me if I'm wrong) on the bench, what's your plan if you do so?

Though Erling Haaland performs better with Kevin De Brunye on the pitch alongside him. He did well yesterday evening, shoulda resulted to four goals but two of those efforts saved by Andrea Onana reduced it.

He's a great player no doubt, like you said he performs much better when he plays with players who knows how to read the game and understand his moves very well like KDB. You would agree with me that KDB's absence affected his performance this season and that's not good for football. If you want to be the best amongst the best you must adapt to every style of play and try as much as you can to blend in with different types of players and playing pattern. I congratulate him yesterday for how he enjoyed him self before and after the game, wish he had gotten a third goal.

How can someone say he is a small game player?
 I read that shit and burst out laughing. They know nothing bout soccer.

Hope you know that if Haaland isn't with a player who knows how to read the game like KDB does that his performance would be bad I mean very bad. Haaland played very well against Manchester United yesterday and did well doesn't mean what you think is laughable isn't true.
In the champions league final what contribution did he make? Did he even hit the ball more than Walker who's a defender? Ok let's not go far, before going to the international break how was his performance, was it impressive to you or laughable?
Watch the game of football without sentiment or because you love a player. If your beloved player isn't doing well say it and stop making the whole thing look like he's the best. Take it to the bank, Haaland isn't a big game player, just go and watch Drogba when playing against big clubs then come let's continue.

How many chances have been created by Scott Mc Tominay? Manchester United have a very good attacking midfielder, you see those so called attackers are flops ( Rashford ).

Scott is trying to prove to ETH that he has a lot in the tank to deliver, without him giving Manchester United that win when he was introduced I don't think he would have been given this opportunity of playing or even starting.
As for Rashford I think he's not too ok with his performance, is like whenever these English players pen down a new contract they just lose their form, he (Rashford) can't score goals, frustration is roaming around him and he becomes selfish. That won't help the team and is killing the courage of Hojlund. The fans wasn't happy when he was pulled out from the pitch, so everything about Rashford is just frustration and he can't give Hojlund to score when he's looking for a goal.

[swogerino]

Manchester City made a great win yesterday in the derby and it showed that Manchester United has big problems as a team.I am not basing this only on the game of yesterday as that would not make sense but the fact that Manchester United was totally dominated in the game and they barely could manage to attack showed just that,they need a change in mentality and I said from a long time now the choosing of Ten Haag as their coach was a big mistake that the consequences are being felt with every passing day,the mistakes needs to be corrected.

That has become the objective for Manchester United every season in the league, to try and finish in the top four, it must be hard for their fans to come to terms with that, after being so used to seeing their team challenge for all trophies for a very long time. They have tried different managers, signed so many good players, but once they wear the United shirt, their form drops significantly, it is almost like United is now a club you shouldn't come to if you want to win the biggest trophies and stay at a very high level.

Having said that, i don't think they will sack Erik Ten Hag just yet, he'd be given this season at least, and if he will be sacked would depends on where United finishes and how they performed overall in the season.

Ten Hag proved to me 100% that Solskjaer was a good coach, apparently Solskjaer achieved the maximum with United and this had to be objectively recognized.
Ten Hag is just bad. And besides the fact that he is incompetent, it seems to me that he is also crazy - after every lost game he says that everything is fine, the team is progressing and refers to bad luck and comes up with other excuses. In fact, of the victories United have had this season, I would say 3 were pure luck. And even so, they are off to their worst start in 37 years (lol).

Of course now everyone is talking about Man City's big win or Man U's big loss... But yesterday there was another game that I found interesting... It was Hammers vs Everton... In this match I thought that the Hammers would win, but after the Europa League they could not recover their strength and lost... Although yesterday could have been easy points for them...

The defeat to Aston Villa in the previous match did not make West ham improve their performance in the last two matches because Aston villa also lost in the European League match against olympiakos and in yesterday match they were also defeated by Everton. I think West ham recently experienced quite a significant decline for them in the Premier League because they were able to be beaten by lower ranked teams.

I am also interested in watching Aston villa this season because Unai emery is able to make big changes to aston villa progress this season. Aston villa was able to win their last 3 match with a big score and of course their improvement in performance in the standing will be able to put pressure on other big teams such as Liverpool and Manchester city. It will be interesting to follow them and hope they can claim a top 4 position in the coming week.

[HajiBagi]

Manchester United were just horrible in this derby game. I thought of betting on Manchester City to win but somehow I couldn't trust them completely. Because Manchester United can be unpredictable in home games against big teams in the league. Sometimes they lose hard but the other times they show a great performance.

But I must have done the opposite considering how poor they have been since the beginning of the season. There isn't the same Manchester United from the previous season now. They were desperate in this game and the final score could have been bigger than 3-0. Haaland was the man of the match with 2 goals and 1 assist in my opinion.

We're all blaming Manchester United for their performance against Manchester City, but I don't think that's a good idea because we all know that Manchester City will win, we all know how poorly Manchester United performed, and many teams that aren't even as strong as Manchester City have defeated Manchester United. Instead of taking responsibility for Manchester City's victory, we should all be taking responsibility for Manchester United's poor performance. That game is a guarantee that Manchester United will lose because you can tell from the start of the game that things won't go well for United, and I'm not surprised that United will be defeated by City because even Liverpool has scored more goals against United than three times in the past.

But the reason I believe no one will pick Manchester United to win any game this season is that the way Manchester City is playing them, you'll think Manchester is a single, tiny team, and once more, Manchester United is playing at home. Certain teams tend to perform better when they play at home, but Manchester United did not even display that kind of performance yesterday. What hurts even more is that they are playing like they have ropes tied around their legs. If the players perform well, the goal keeper will also be playing seriously, so I don't see onanna fault in this game.

[asriloni]

The derby of Manchester it just like Manchester City vs Onana because if Onana didn't performing well i am sure Manchester United will be lose more than 3-0 and before this match some people hopes Andre Onana can able to bounce back after he was make some blunder in the last several matches and seems Onana can answering that yesterday because he was often to make fantastic save during that match but it could be useless because Manchester United defender players didn't showing solid defense
On the other hand Liverpool was successfully to managed their unbeaten record at home that they can easily to beat Nottingham Forest at Anfield and all of Liverpool strikers was scored goal including Nunez and this is Nunez 4th goals on Premier league with Liverpool this season

True, onana has made some brilliant saves and it has been also talking by so many sources as well. Manchester united would be losing with bigger scores if onana was not blocking some shoots and headers by city's players. I have seen that how onana was responsively blocked haaland's header. Lucky him caused by he was able predicting there the heck haaland will be heading the ball correctly. Manchester fans need to thankful him. NO onana and i do believe manchester united will be losing with at least 5-0 as the full time scores in this manchester derby. Manchester is blue and it may remain forever as long as glazer still becomes an owner of manchester united. Many fans are also urging glazer to sell 25% of its shares to the sir jim. Sir jim is also waiting for glazer's answer regarding it. Sir jim may also try to interventing the management of United after he has 25 % of MU shares. Im waiting for the new hands come then help the club. United fans can put their hopes on sir jim. The red devil fans need to push glazer in selling their stake to the sir jim.
United needs someone who can manage the club properly. Sir him may become good stake holders for united.

Erik Ten Hag, I would not say failure for this coach, but with what he can show now it is not enough to make him stay longer with Manchester United. Now there are no more excuses for him, because he has also been in the squad for a long time which means that most of the players he has now are the players he really wants. Although in the player transfer market he cannot move freely, but still as a coach he must provide the best for the team he handles.
I don't know what the management's response will be, and until now I've seen them remain silent.

Manchester City showed class tonight innit? They should have scored more than just three goals, thanks to Andrea Onana for saving the efforts from Erling Haaland twice.
Manchester City are better even with the absence of key players, they would run down Manchester United anyday with this kind of display. They really deserves the win but it feels like the penalty awarded was too light. Though, Hojlund should have done better by contesting for the ball rather than dragging Rodri slightly.

Home and away they have been poor. I even placed em to score a goal and they couldn't. Erling Haaland deserves it, I read somewhere in the UEFA Champions League someone saying Erling Haaland is a small game player. ( Joker Innit? )

Hojlund is a disappointment in the Premier League so far. He has 0 goals in 7 games he played. It is the opposite when it comes to the Champions League as he has 3 goals in 3 games. I don't know why there is a this big difference. In the end they have played really difficult games in the Champions League as well but he was still able to score.

I don't want to compare him to Haaland already normally but he is like the opposite of Haaland thinking about his first times. I hope he can put an end to this goalless series in the Premier League as soon as possible.

He is a coach who had a good performance with Manchester United last season who succeeded in bringing Manchester United back to the Champions League so the club will not comment anything on his performance at this time because Erik still has time to improve their performance this season.

Indeed, Manchester United experienced a major setback this season and also several internal problems at the club, namely the player relationship with the coach, also became a major obstacle for them. I think Erik Ten Hag should reduce his anger towards players because he has had several feuds with players. There is still plenty of time and fans still believe that Erik Ten Hag can bring Manchester United to improve their performance this season.

The signing of Rasmus Hojlund in the summer hasn't yielded the kind of result that made Manchester United sign him as Danish striker is yet to score league goal for the Red Devils. United before they conceded the first goal yesterday were actually playing well but couldn't create clear chances to score but how they played like a team who had already lost hope after the first goal was very surprising to me.
Manchester City with that win are now just two points behind league leaders Tottenham Hotspur which makes them one of the strong contenders for the English Premier League title

[RockBell]

I noticed something about people especially when they are not supporting your club all they care about is the performance of their own club last season Manchester United was a very good challenge for many clubs, and every club have their own season, and this season is a very bad one for Manchester united, and Manchester City defeating them its clear they both are on a different level and can not be compared, my problem with Manchester united is that they are not taking there problem to be a concern to them which is very worrisome.

The city are known to be dominant in some of there games and the nature of the type of game they play always favour them in all kind of condition, very fast game  and that give them hedge against any club, once they have focused on a loop hole the next thing you start seen from Manchester City is goals. That is Manchester City for you, great game from yesterday.

It is very difficult for Rasmus Hojlund to develop in a team that is in decline like Manchester United, the Manchester United team's game is not very supportive in all lines so it is very difficult for the attackers to be able to develop or show quality because of the lack of ball supply from the midfield.

How can you say that Manchester United played well? Isn't it clear that Manchester United's game was very messy without any good schemes, they only had a few chances at the start of the first half and the rest they couldn't develop the team's game at all.
Manchester United was clearly behind on all fronts and even the match between these two teams seemed like the two teams had significant differences so Manchester United had to concede 3 goals.

[SmartCharpa]

The penalty actually changes the outcome of the game, which weakens them. Manchester United consistently wastes the opportunities they have in the first half; I'm not sure what kind of team Ten Hag's is creating. Manchester United's play is becoming worse; they have a terrible time scoring when they play against smaller teams. The two funniest teams in the Premier League are Manchester United and Chelsea. United is even trying to move, but what about Chelsea, who remains positioned at number 11 with twelve points? Thought that both of these clubs would pick up their game this season, but their record is consistently poor. The coach of Manchester United is at fault, in my opinion; instead of starting Rashford in the first eleven, he could try some other players and see the results.

 Manchester United don't have any excuse for losing the game, there performance was very poor and was no where compared to that of Manchester City, if they performed well they would've atleast try to get consolation goals or even an equalizer, what happened in the buildup which caused the penalty was so unprofessional od United's strike Højlund, cause it killed the game after Haaland scored the opener and even made the team looked weaker.

 Well Erik Ten Hag has his own side of the blame cause he's becoming very stubborn and is refusing to do the right thing for the club, everyweek he keeps making wrong decisions, how would he rest players like Antony, Mount and Regullion against City and play Bruno and  Lindelof in wrong positions, Eriksen is not a starter, he needs to understand that, if you notice Bruno Fernandes was didn't creat much impact cause he was played in a position that he's finding tough to cope with.

Bruno Fernandes was just playing trash; he was unable to go after the ball and would continue to wait for it to come to him before realizing that one of the Manchester City players had taken it. In the end, he was only attempting to hurt a player for the city, and he was even given a yellow card. Yes, Eriksen isn't a starter, but Ten Hag seems like a coach who doesn't wants to set a good standard in a club like Man United. He may believe that the way it happened in the Champions League against Copenhagen may happen against Manchester City. In my opinion, Manchester City is the team to beat if Manchester United become very serious with their performances.

I don't understand how much faith Ten Hag's have in Rashford to score goals, I guess it was only a matter of time given how he was playing at the time. Even if Hojlund made a mistake, it doesn't mean that the whole players should become weak; if anything, they would have been able to equalize and complete the game in a draw, but their performance has always end up been poor. Mount suppose started the match Antony as well since Manchester United's midfielder was rough. I don't what Ten Hag was doing, during the transfer window to get young players; none of the defensive players from the last time they defeated Manchester City 2:1 were there. He purchased Casemiro and Eriksen at the age of thirty and above, and he wanted the midfield player to be good. If it weren't for Onana, the goal would have been more than three.

A team that play well wouldn't definitely receive 3 goals. Manchester United is in decline phase? I don't think so but they have to improve the quality of their gameplay. Their opponent was better than them and they might be in pressure since their results aren't quite good for their fans.
This game wasn't the only one that end with 3 goals victory. Liverpool and Aston Villa did good also but their games were easier. A gap is being created slowly between the first five teams and the others and between the last four teams and the rest.
