Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[borovichok]

Onana has been great and he really has performed like he should, people who blame the  number of goals conceded by Manchester United on Andrea Onana are bluffing . Last season, the arrival of Lisandro Martinez made David De Gea a beast and win the most clean sheets award last season. This season, Andrea Onana can not boast of a good defense if we're being fair. This is not the defense he had at Inter Milan that lead them to the Champions League finals with Inter Milan.

André Onana has conceded numerous unexpected goals and is having a disastrous season in the club, he has become a mockery goalkeeper in his new club, Manchester United have made him decrease in worth and confidence in games, he continues to have problems, and I hope one day he finds the exact spot to pin his pending astounding goalkeeping skills. Manchester United lacked aggressive defenders who will pose a significant threat to their opponents, and I blame Erik Ten Hag for these mistakes, since he failed to buy backup defenders for the primary positions.

Newcastle need to learn how to play in Europe, I think they are sound in the English premier league but in Europe they are still trying to find their play.
Newcastle against Dortmund yesterday was a very poor performance from Newcastle especially in the first half, and Dortmund is not in the best form.
I think Newcastle were playing too safe and it worked against them, second half was a bit better but still it was poor compared to what they can do, they have now made it very difficult for themselves to qualify from the group.

That is just because the Champions League is a different level competition. Do not forget that only the top four and three clubs in European top leagues make it to the champions league grouping and it obviously is a tougher competition than playing in the league games. I won’t blame Newcastle United for their inconsistency because most of their players are new to the champions league and still lack experience to strive in the competition.

That's your opinion alone. I won't say same for Andrea Onana, so far as I'm concerned, he's a big man behind, so much criticisms on Onana because of the bad results, you'll look for the bad and not for the good in the player. I saw a vid of Pep Guardiola praising the worthy ( Andrea Onana ) and he wasn't bluffing not trynna get the big man flattered Onana is far better than Allison Becker of Liverpool and  Ederson of Manchester City but they've not been criticized because they get results from the general team performance.

When you see good spit it out, when you see bad say same. A good defense with good ball passing skills, composed and defending skills is all the big man needs. Both Manchester City and Liverpool had difficulty with them Goalkeepers also flopping, don't make it look like he's worse. Andrea Onana might be strong headed but knows ball. End of Discussion!!!

All the teams have close points to each other now,we will wait till January to see the team that will be more favourite to lift the EPL trophy this season.

I quite agree with you the gaps between them are just small, it going to be difficult for someone to decide so so club will lift the trophy, for instance Manchester City that is on the top of the table are leading the second with just a point while third place and fourth place had the same point which are just left behind with two points between them and second place and right now the top four on the table are all in form which am expecting one of them to be champion.

I feel that there will be a slight gap and not much big amount of gap between the teams. There is 1-2 points gap on average between all the top teams and I think even by January beginning this will hardly change. I think by March or February it will start to get clear slowly. All the teams have been fantastic so far and only some injuries can drag some teams back from the race. Most likely that after international break things we might be able to see some table changes.

The top of the EPL standings this season will become clear as the season progresses. Man City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal are the four strongest teams in the title race. These four teams benefited from the inconsistency of two other elite clubs, Chelsea and Man United. However, it is possible that The Red Devils and The Blues will become stumbling blocks for the leaders in the upcoming matches.

If Chelsea are able to surprise again in Week 12 against Man City by beating them, or holding them to a draw, it will make Tottenham return to the top of the standings, because Ange squad has a slightly weak opponent namely Wolves. I think there won't be too big of a difference in points this season in the top four standings, especially if these teams will be shopping for players in the transfer market next january.

On the other hand I think Chelsea and Man United will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings this season, the most realistic target is to appear in the Europa League next season.

Onana is actually a good goalkeeper and has good potential going forward, it's just that he conceded a lot of goals because the defender is not too strong as if some of the defender Man United suffered an injury but the second coating was not too strong in defense.

Onana when playing at Inter play is rather defensive with a slow tempo but surely, different from Man United when playing slowly instead of the press continues to the opponent. Not 100% Onana's mistake, De Gea 2012 is also not very good at first, he needs 2 years to be a great shot stopper.

It's a big privilege for Newcastle and Eddie Howe to win a spot in UEFA this season, they have become one of the sighted clubs in English Premier League. Why should we blame Newcastle for the poor performance they have recorded in UCL competition while some elite teams in EPL have missed out on UCL spots this season. We're talking about teams like Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Newcastle United have proven to be a competitive team in EPL but their standard are not up to UEFA Champions League because they have performed really stats and currently ranked bottom in Group F table.

Actually, we should not blame Manchester United for the transfer of Onana, because with his great performance last year, he showed that he was a quality goalkeeper who could be transferred to any team looking for a goalkeeper. We expected a similar performance this year, but it has not been successful yet. Even though he has some mistakes, I think he will slowly find himself.

Take in Aston Villa and Newcastle too as they have been playing some good football also. Aston Villa had a pretty much consistent run in between and they really have defeat some heavy teams so far. Newcastle also are a strong performer. Brighton under de Zerbi also are another team who can chime in the top positions of the table. I think if someone (out of these teams) manages a decent enough of consistency then they will be able to perform on the top position of the table also.

Most of the people who don't like PSG are really optimistic about Newcastle despite the fact that currently Newcastle is no better than PSG. Newcastle were considered convincing because they surprisingly beat PSG, but in reality it was the only win they had in 4 games so far. PSG have 2 wins and 2 defeats, but they still have the potential to qualify for the round of 16 compared to Newcastle.

It's true that no one knows for sure, but I'm sure PSG can secure that opportunity this season. PSG only needs to win the home game against Newcastle and win the away game against Dortmund. Of course that was enough to lock up a ticket to the round of 16. It's difficult, of course it's difficult but they seem convincing.

Unbelievable Liverpool is loosing two goals down to Toulouse this was a match Liverpool are meant to win. English premier league teams has not been impressive in Europe except Manchester city and sometimes Arsenal.
Manchester city losing to Copenhagen and now Liverpool losing to Toulouse are big upset and shows why Manchester city may end up winning the English premier league for another season.

Andre Onana was a great goalkeeper last season and helped take Inter to the Champions League final. But unfortunately, this very good performance has slowly declined since he joined Manchester United this season and perhaps the pressure of being the main goalkeeper at a club full of history made his mental decline and he often made mistakes. We know that Red Devils fans are very hungry for titles and therefore every player who has been recruited by the club must prove that he deserves to wear the uniform. Andre Onana is just unlucky to be at a club that is in a period of improvement and he must be able to get up to give good results for this team considering that Manchester United has been down with the existing situation for too long.

Unbelievable Liverpool is loosing two goals down to Toulouse this was a match Liverpool are meant to win. English premier league teams has not been impressive in Europe except Manchester city and sometimes Arsenal.
Manchester city losing to Copenhagen and now Liverpool losing to Toulouse are big upset and shows why Manchester city may end up winning the English premier league for another season.

The game is not over yet, so you just can't conclude on who will be winning this game tonight, because though this match is a match we all expected & thought Liverpool will win, and started with a bad impression seeing Toulouse taking the lead the entire first half and the entire 90 minutes of the game, but as of recently I just saw that both "D. Jota" and "J. Quansah" have just scored two goals, making the game currently (Toulouse 3 - 3 Liverpool), a clear sign that this game is likely to end draw in the worst case scenario.

I think they won't be too disappointed about this negative result and it will certainly not have any negative impact on their upcoming games in the Premier League. I haven't had a look whether the played with their best eleven players, but I think that Liverpool was well aware of the comfortable situation they are in in the Europa League group and that they can afford a bad result: I don't mean that they had anything close to a plan to lose this game due to reduced effort, but if this was like a final game for them, like a last chance to qualify for the knockout stages, I think this game would have ended differently.

I’m also seriously surprised to see Liverpool lose this match. This game was too sure for me that they were going to win, but sometimes that's how games come, so I won't blame them for the loss, and now the game has already ended. I believe Liverpool and Manchester United are now other teams that their fans will be upset about because when we mention some big teams in the EPL, we must mention these two teams, so why will they lose games to these clubs that are not even up to their performance? Therefore, I also dedicate this season to being for Manchester City to win this trophy since it’s only Manchester City and Arsenal, and obviously Arsenal's current performance is not the same as Manchester City's. So you see that they may win the trophy this season.

Maybe what is meant is that Manchester United lost to Copenhagen in yesterday's UCL match. And Toulouse's match against Liverpool was truly memorable and full of drama at the end of the match, Liverpool almost equalized the score at 3-3 but Liverpool's goal in the last minute was disallowed because of Alexis' handball and the score ended 3-2, won by Toulouse.
In this match, Liverpool's defense could be said to be weak because it was unable to withstand Toulouse's counterattack even though Liverpool controlled the match as a whole.

Onana has received lots of insults from Manchester United fans. Onana, who we all know to be a good keeper in Inter Milan, then after he got to Manchester United, his performance dropped and everyone was insulting him. Manchester United didn’t get what they expected from Onana; the hype on him was just too much when Manchester United were about to sing him. Manchester United expects the guy to perform better even with their weak defence. If Manchester United can’t work on their defence, then Onana will be conceding goals easily.

Manchester United lacked aggressive defenders who will pose a significant threat to their opponents, and I blame Erik Ten Hag for these mistakes, since he failed to buy backup defenders for the primary positions.

Everyone is blaming Onana for his poor performance, but all blame shouldn’t be put on Onana. We should also blame Manchester United's defenders. If the defense of a club is not strong, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, his performance will still look poor. There are a lot of balls that the defenders are supposed to be covering up for Onana, but since Manchester United defenders are not capable of doing that, it’s making it look like Onana’s performance is really poor. But we know Onana was a good goalkeeper before coming to Manchester United.

After a VAR review of the final goal, it was canceled, and the game concluded 3-2.
We never expected Liverpool to lose this match given their performance in the first leg, but sadly, Klopp rested some players and the match did not go in their favor. Liverpool, Brighton, and West Ham United, who are all representing England in the Europa League, are all leading their respective groups as a result of their outstanding performances thus far.

Onana's was really criticised by fans and I think the poor performance that warrant the criticism from fans is not his fault, but a result of the general team's performance, Onana before now in his previous teams was as good as ever, he won awards and made good name for himself. His move to Manchester United and his performance afterwards surprised everyone because suddenly, he began to concede consistently and it was disappointing for the club as a whole.

 Do not blame Onana for his flops, Manchester United right now needs reformation, their defense, midfield, attack and team management as a whole needs to be fixed.
Hopefully, they'd work on themselves and bring back the fighting spirit Onana experienced in his last teams, especially at Intermilan.

I’m also seriously surprised to see Liverpool lose this match.

I'm more surprised as you are because this match was supposed to be a sure wining match for Liverpool but they lose the opportunity, at first they were feeding that Toulouse will be very easy for them to win but to there greatest surprise Liverpool saw what they did not imagine will happen on there match today.

The funny part of it was that Toulouse were playing Liverpool as if Liverpool was some kind of smaller team, the first and second half was not easy on Liverpool, if not that they peak form on the last minutes they would have not score any goal today, so perhaps with the determination they have during the last minute if it was the same determination on there first half they would have won the match.

People are mocking him, but he doesn't care and only listens to the coach's critics.  As a result, his performance should have improved by now, yet it appears to be deteriorating. When we blame the goalkeeper, we must also blame the defenders because they contribute to the higher number of goals scored by this goalkeeper in a game. I will not blame just one person, but rather the entire team for causing their goalkeeper to concede so many goals since joining the team this season as opposed to when he was at Ajax, his old club.
