Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[arimamib]

Manchester United is not a team like Chelsea, who is always ready to fire its coach if they fall short of their expectations after losing too many games. We are all aware that Eric Ten Hag has not been at his best for his team and that he needs to work on his game approach and fight his way back into competition.  I don't think Manchester United will fire him anytime soon; he's doing his best, and this could be one of his worst times at the club. Manchester United, I believe, will allow him more time to improve before passing judgement on him.

Well I think so, somehow I'm not sure that Ten Hag will be fired I think Manchester United will give him time until the middle of the season they know that Ten Hag has the ability it's just that at the beginning of this season there seems to be a little problem. Next week Manchester United will play in the Champions League, well the results of the group stage might be one of their considerations to determine Ten Hag career as Manchester coach if he succeeded in bringing Manchester to qualify to the next phase then it is likely he will continue.

In the Champions League, Manchester united still has hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 and they only need to get rid of Galatasaray in 2nd place. So, if Erik succeed in bringing Manchester united to the round of 16, his position as Manchester united coach will certainly be quite safe. But if he fails, He might be fired and replaced by another coach before the first half of the season end.

Of course, Erik Ten Hag quality has proven to be quite good in building a squad and this season, many Manchester united player have been injured which hampers their performance in assembling a squad that is stronger in every match. On the other hand, They have just been expelled from the EFL and that is certainly the first bad record for Erik ten hag this season. Problems with players have also been highlighted, where Sancho and Erik have not yet reconciled.

From the news circulating now, it seems that Manchester United management is ready to fire Erik Ten Hag even though he has to pay a large amount of compensation. Even rumors regarding potential successors at Manchester United have also begun to circulate, including:

1. Zinedine Zidane
2. Roberto De Zerbi
3. Xabi Alonso
4. Graham Potter, and
5. Hansi Flick

Zidane, De Zerbi and Xabi are the most ideal candidates IMO considering their recent achievements .

In my opinion, all the 5 candidates above are very good, Zidane is a strong candidate, Zidane has a lot of potential because to date he has not coached any club, if I see there is any issue that Antonio Conte will replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, Antonio Conte has a good track record in coaching the team and also proving himself as an elite manager among coaches, I think Antonio Conte deserves to coach a team like Manchester United

It needs a mircale for manchester united to recruit him as a new appointment. I would rather than believe zidane goes to the marseille rather than manchester united. It's another cheap rumor being made by the writers. I doubt Zidane will go there because he mentioned in an interview that he only joins clubs with good communication. Zidane would prefer to join only in the spanish, italian clubs. People are massivel beliving in what others cheap rumors that were coming from unknown parties. Let's wait till romano will be confirming MU sacked ten hag first.

I don't even think manchester united is possible in recruiting zidane at this moment. Please, MU needs to sack ten hag first. Ten hag is just making the club even worst as he was always blaming the players once united face lost against its opponent.
As long as ten hag will not be sacked by manchester united and i will not even believe if this rumor was exist. We may see so many candidates to be linked with manchester united without even knowing how high the chances of these candidates to be a new appointment for manchester united.

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job

Manchester United have hired and fired quite a lot of managers ever since Fergie retired, and looking at United's performances this season, it is easy to predict that Erik Ten Hag is going to go in the same way, he'd be fired sooner or later. Having said that, even if he is fired, that would not solve Manchester United's problems, they would still be struggling because the club has already lost its winning mentality and these days other clubs are no longer scared to play United, because they know that they can beat them. I don't know what Manchester United needs to do to get back to glory days, but i am pretty sure it would not happen anytime soon.

Manchester United is not a team like Chelsea, who is always ready to fire its coach if they fall short of their expectations after losing too many games. We are all aware that Eric Ten Hag has not been at his best for his team and that he needs to work on his game approach and fight his way back into competition.  I don't think Manchester United will fire him anytime soon; he's doing his best, and this could be one of his worst times at the club. Manchester United, I believe, will allow him more time to improve before passing judgement on him.

I think Ten Hag isnt the right coach for Man Utd. So many bad decisions by him are causing the team to go deeper and deeper. They keep losing and getting worst. Chelsea sacks their coaches really fast and that is their problem but for Man Utd they need someone who can turn this into a winning team. They got good players but as we see some players dont even like their coach and that causes problems.

[hd49728]

Manchester United club losing its winning mentality should be one of the reasons, Manchester United is yet to sack Ten Hag. They don't want to make the mistake of sacking Ten Hag and the same mistake is still there, affecting the team to win matches.

About mentality in Manchester United, do you think it is coincidence that Mourinho said "Ending Premier League as a runner-up is one of his biggest achievements in his coach career"?

This statement from Mourinho, years ago, reveals that something were very improperly in Old Trafford, not only from their coaches, staffs, players but also from people at higher positions.

Manchester United taking their time to make a final decision of sacking Ten Hag or not is a good move. At least let it be noted that Ten Hag was given enough time before they sacked him. It will now be Ten Hag's duty to return the Red Devil to its glorious days, now he has the chance to prove to the whole world that he's qualified to continue coaching Manchester United. If failed to, he should blame himself for that

These problems continue to exist through many coaches and even with Ten Hag, they are still existing and effects are harmful for the club performance, results in many competitions generally.

I see it is very unfair to say Erik Ten Hag is responsible for all bad things that are happening in Manchester United. He must be given more time like how Liverpool were patiently with Klopp years ago, then they harvested sweet achievements with one Premier League, one Champions League trophies. Manchester United can gain a same with Ten Hag but they must give him more time and support him to have players he wants.

[Republikcoin.com]

In the Champions League, Manchester united still has hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 and they only need to get rid of Galatasaray in 2nd place. So, if Erik succeed in bringing Manchester united to the round of 16, his position as Manchester united coach will certainly be quite safe. But if he fails, He might be fired and replaced by another coach before the first half of the season end.

Of course, Erik Ten Hag quality has proven to be quite good in building a squad and this season, many Manchester united player have been injured which hampers their performance in assembling a squad that is stronger in every match. On the other hand, They have just been expelled from the EFL and that is certainly the first bad record for Erik ten hag this season. Problems with players have also been highlighted, where Sancho and Erik have not yet reconciled.

The possibility is still there but the percentage is very small, Manchester United have to play away against Copenhagen and also Galatasaray, the very important match is against Galatasar at Galatasaray's home ground. When playing at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home team even lost, let alone playing at Galatasaray's home ground. Of course the possibility of losing is also big.
But apart from that, Manchester United's performance is very bad, so in my opinion there is almost no possibility for Manchester United to qualify from the UCL group stage.

Manchester United has suffered 8 defeats from 15 matches this season, whereas during the Jose Mourinho era he was sacked after experiencing 6 defeats from 17 matches, I can't understand why Manchester United's management is defending Ten Hag too much, even though it is clear that he has failed.

Maybe you mean that Manchester United needs to be patient in reaping the current process, but the fans don't want to see Manchester United continue to experience decline and everyone blames Erik Ten Hag for everything because Manchester United progress depend on him.
I don't blame Erik Ten Hag, its just that maybe there are a lot of problem that have hit this club so that Manchester United experiences some difficulties when facing match in the English league and in the Champions League, but I hope that Erik Ten Hag is able to bring Manchester United back to its glory days but not wait for the process to take placed for a long time it was feared that Erik Ten Hag would soon be replace because the Red Devils did not want to be slumped in an uncertain situation for long.

Indeed it can be a reference but when a few years earlier with now obviously it is very different so in this case I think it would not be suitable to compare Newcastle in the past with their current version which is always troublesome with the revolution created from the money they have.
At the moment their chances of winning are still there, especially now that they are at St. James Park, which in fact is a headquarters that can be haunted for the opponents that Newcastle face.

A confident Newcastle team will be a lot of trouble for Arsenal who will be coming into the game from a defeat to West Ham in the Carabao cup. Arteta will use his strongest players that is why he rested many of them in the game against West Ham. Arsenal recently have had the better result against Newcastle, so it is a chance for Newcastle to change things and get a home win and give Arsenal their first defeat this season. I just worry that due to the champions league game that they have against Dortmund which is a game they must win, the coach may just try to rotate his team and not overplay any key player so they will also be available to play again in the Champions league.

Newcastle shall be aware if the main weakness of arsenal when it was facing a club that used low blocks strategy. I meant let's take a look at the game against westham. Arsenal was not benched a lot of its good players. Martinelli, odegard or even rice was playing during that game. Arteta thought that he can beat westham by using the secondary squads, but he was obviously wrong. One title has already gone caused by arsenal was out from carabao cup. There may still be some chances to qualify for the UCL and EPL, but I believe Manchester City remains the toughest opponent for any club aiming to win the EPL. Arsenal's chances, I think, are quite slim at the moment.

It must have also faced the busy schedules too. This is a problem for arsenal. This club is always playing so well but it's always trophyless. Arsenal was getting this poor result so many times. I can remember correctly 4 times arsenal was in the same situation as previous season.

Mikel Arteta starting most of the second was because the match wasn't more important to him and again he felt that he could reserve players like Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Oedegaard so it was after the lapses that he thought of bringing this players but the did has already been done so for me Arsenal match with Westham was less important to Mikel Arteta.

It must have also faced the busy schedules too. This is a problem for arsenal. This club is always playing so well but it's always trophyless. Arsenal was getting this poor result so many times. I can remember correctly 4 times arsenal was in the same situation as previous season.

It is believed that Arsenal as a club most time prefer to entertain their fans even in the quest to win trophies, it is just unfortunate that they most time flop whenever they are about to change a narrative but believe me Arsenal is up to something this season.

But apart from that, Manchester United's performance is very bad, so in my opinion there is almost no possibility for Manchester United to qualify from the UCL group stage.

Considering Manchester United's current performance, their chances of continuing in the Championship seem quite low. Their immediate focus should be on maintaining their current position in the Premier League to prevent further decline. It might be wise for Manchester United to put aside any Championship aspirations for this season.

Manchester United has suffered 8 defeats from 15 matches this season, whereas during the Jose Mourinho era he was sacked after experiencing 6 defeats from 17 matches, I can't understand why Manchester United's management is defending Ten Hag too much, even though it is clear that he has failed.

I'm equally surprised by the patience displayed by Manchester United's leadership. It seems like Ten Hag should have been replaced a while ago. Perhaps the Glazers have been preoccupied with selling the club recently. In the near future, when things stabilize, I expect that Ten Hag's fate will be determined.

Maybe you mean that Manchester United needs to be patient in reaping the current process, but the fans don't want to see Manchester United continue to experience decline and everyone blames Erik Ten Hag for everything because Manchester United progress depend on him.

Even the Manchester United players appear to be losing patience with Ten Hag, not to mention the fans. Watching Manchester United's recent matches, it seems as though the players on the field lack the motivation to run, let alone the determination to play their best.

[makishart]

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has declared that the players now have no choice but to "fight like dogs" to end a dreadful run of form that has delivered eight defeats in all competitions so far this season.

https://www.90min.com/posts/scott-mctominay-man-utd-players-must-fight-like-dogs
Did someone agree with tominay regarding his statement for his teammates? Manchester united has no choice other than playing even better but it must not like dogs. The club must have more spirit in winning the game but it must always use its brain to think which has become the weakness spot of its opponent. Tominay was commenting the performance from his club but he is also having his performance up and down. It's not even a wise decision to reminding his teammates to play like dogs.

I don't agree with his statement. It's really important to use our brain instead of playing like dogs.

But apart from that, Manchester United's performance is very bad, so in my opinion there is almost no possibility for Manchester United to qualify from the UCL group stage.

Losing a home game cannot guarantee that Manchester United will also lose an away game against the same team. Galatasaray can still be beaten and that is never impossible in football. The problem is that Manchester United must prepare a good strategy, including defending well and building effective attacks.

Ten Hag cannot sit idly by and watch his team decline in performance like this and clearly this is not only in the Premier League, but the EFL Cup and Champions League too. Problems must be addressed immediately and they must be ready to become a better team and improve from one game to another. Meanwhile, tomorrow, they will visit Fulham before traveling to Copenhagen for the 4th match in the Champions League group stage.

Manchester United has suffered 8 defeats from 15 matches this season, whereas during the Jose Mourinho era he was sacked after experiencing 6 defeats from 17 matches, I can't understand why Manchester United's management is defending Ten Hag too much, even though it is clear that he has failed.

In the Premier League, Manchester United have lost 5 times in 10 matches. But I think they can win the next 4 matches including 3 Premier League matches and 1 Champions League match. Manchester United have relatively easy matches in the Premier League against Fulham, Luton and Everton, so they must maximize their abilities well.

I think this is because United is also having difficulty finding a new coach. Or it could also be to give Ten Hag the opportunity for a season or two to improve the team's performance. I think in the Mourinho era United was a strong team so a few defeats could make a coach get fired. But now what can United expect from sacking Ten Hag? I think this is a wise decision made by Manchester United management because currently their focus is on improving performance and it takes a long time to do so.

Arsenal has faced difficult opponents and managed to escape; there are effective fiercely competitive opponents who will prompt more difficult tasks. Arsenal is unbeaten in the English Premier League this season and now sits second in the table, pushing the Gunners to become untouchable. Mikel Arteta is dissatisfied with the elimination phases he has faced in the last few days and is keen to make amends in upcoming games. This weekend's game against Newcastle United should be a treat to witness. Eddie Howe's team is outstanding and determined to achieve significant outcomes.

Manchester United have experienced a bad run of results under Ten Hag than Mourinho. Ten Hag has now overseen Manchester United's worst start to a season since the 1962-63 campaign and the club have lost five of their first 10 home games at Old Trafford for the first time since 1930-31. This Manchester United poor form has put mounted pressure on Ten Hag. As a result of the defeat against Newcastle on Wednesday, the odds of Ten Hag being the next manager in the Premier League to lose his job have been slashed. I feel that injury might be an excuse for the poor form and also he gave the club a trophy last season, so I understand why the club Hierarchy aren’t in a rush to sack him. They might be giving him time to redeem himself and if he fails to do so, then they’ll be forced to hire a new manager.

It's hilarious to see in the last season, they considered Ten Hag as their savior but if we are only observers, we will see they did not end that season as a runner up like with Mourinho. Ten Hag won a title that is smaller than Europa League as they got with Mourinho.

This season only shows that Ten Hag was over valued by Manchester United and their fans. He is a good coach but if saying he is better than Mourinho, I disagree. I support him and think he needs more time, more than what Manchester United gave Ole and Mourinho. Because if they wanted to change their strategy, they must spend more time with Ten Hag than with previous coaches. Sacking him and hiring another coach will be repeat of their failures in the past.

They have differences  tactically one may be good defensively and the other attacking wise,  Ten Hag will still come on the list of coaches linked when  you rate them. Injuries and luck has not favored Ten Hag.
Ten hag needs time and he will need money to buy players that can fill in and play exactly the way he wants.
Sacking repeats all the things  that have been said  and done by past managers.  Ole was no good tactician he was loosing game he should have won with just a single  substitution.
Let us take the game against Villareal during the Europa League finals into look. He should have won the game at the 70th minute  but could not.  He brought in players to win penalties and ended up failing.

Being the worst performance team in the English Premier League this season without a win after 10 games played, I think Sheffield United will not have an easy time against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their next upcoming match especially with so many of their players sitting on the injuries list. I guess there is a very high chance for Sheffield United to disappoint their home fans again with another loss at the final whistle against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[bangjoe]

The way they train may be fairly old for both physical training and in instilling a strategy, but it seems that Manchester United performed better lately even though they are still inferior to Manchester City, because indeed from all Manchester City players are fairly flexible and the players are sufficient Easy to be favored with every opponent's strategy they face so that it is easily read and they can get a gap to win the match.

Pep Guardiola has the quality of seeing the potential of his players and he knows how to make the players he has better prepared when facing a much more balanced team. We can see the potential of the players they have and in fact Man City players are not all mature in terms of skills, but Pep Guardiola is able to combine them into something more. Erik Ten Hak doesn't have that and he always tries to put players out of position so that Man United players always fail to carry out their duties.

You can say that Pep Guardiola has a sharp view on every player he trains, so he can measure every player he has and can also see the potential and wealth of each player, so he can combine it easily and he knows the side of his opponent's character that makes him him More confident and playing well enough to get victory.

Manchester United in his defense line has been quite improved but in the middle midfielder and the executor of the front attacker is still fairly standard ability and their movements such as there is no direction for destination because there is no player who is able to fight 1 on two or a good breaking partner in midfield to the front line to destroy the opponent's defense.
At UCL there are only two matches and Manchester United have to win the match without losing so that the second position they can secure and continue to the knockout.

I don't see Man United's defense looking much better, only Maguire has shown a big change at the moment and for the other players I think it's still quite bad. The midfield is also still quite problematic because they are unable to dominate and often they don't hold the ball to control the match. That's why the striker couldn't score in the defeats in the previous two matches, both against Man City in the Derby and against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

Yes, I think it is a change even though only Maguire can show it, but it is quite impressive to other players even though it is not like him, and if in calculation it is not a big change, I see from Erik Ten Hag's expression as having lost enthusiasm and feel tired of the current situation Because he has difficulty moving for the better, do you think Manchester United need new players or new coaches? I think it will be quite interesting, but who is the coach who can control this Red Devils squad if Erik Ten Hag no longer to trains squad?

[piebeyb]

Even the Manchester United players appear to be losing patience with Ten Hag, not to mention the fans. Watching Manchester United's recent matches, it seems as though the players on the field lack the motivation to run, let alone the determination to play their best.

Even though Ten Hag will be replaced, of course it will take more time for the new coach to adapt to Manchester United players. I know that there may be a lot of disappointment experienced by Manchester United fans because they have experienced many defeats this season. This is another reason that many players have lost. not too enthusiastic about playing and not confident in winning the match.

I don't know what Ten Hag needs to improve, Manchester United seems to find it difficult to recover from their downturn so experiencing a lot of defeats will make them fall even further and they don't have the confidence to be able to win the match, they should focus more on one of the current leagues they still play like in the English league or UCL. At least the players' performance is maintained and if they focus more on one league, the burden will be reduced on them.

I guess there is a very high chance for Sheffield United to disappoint their home fans again with another loss at the final whistle against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Sheffield United is at the bottom of the standings and hosts a Wolverhampton Wanderers team who is improving their performance, and in my opinion if Sheffield United's players are not injured and all their best players play. I don't think they will be able to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers, who in my opinion are a very tough opponent for Sheffield United.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be a tough opponent for top teams because of the speed of their players and dangerous counter attacks for opponents. And I can't imagine if Sheffield United can beat it, this is actually a very easy match to predict.
