Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Mr.right85]

Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.

What you notice in Manchester United's playing pattern is not much different from what other observers notice, even Man United fans also notice this situation in their favorite team.
Rashford and Bruno have similar characters in the team.
A number of other central midfielders owned by Erik ten Hag also have the same style of play. I think the turning point that Ten Hag has to work on is managing or balancing all of that, not bringing in other players.

In my opinion, if you have to force yourself to buy another player, don't buy a player with the same playing style as the one you already have.

I believe that the goalscoring determination of Rashford and Fernandes could be impacting Hojlund. I think if you have been watching Rashford play this season, you’d understand how terrible he’s been. Every time Rashford is playing, it takes individual brilliance from a teammate for the team not end up with a loss. When he goes with the ball forward and another teammate is in a better scoring position, he refuses to pass the ball, especially to Hojlund and this way loosing scoring opportunities.
One of Manchester United's problems is that the team around Hojlund has proven to be so disjointed. Particularly in attack, Manchester United have fires springing up all over the place.
So I understand why Fans have been bashing Rashford this season. He’s not the player he was last season. I don’t know what Ten Hag needs to address to make this team fire again.

When facing big clubs in the EPL, Chelsea also has to prepare their defense when facing Newcastle. Indeed, Newcastle is not an easy opponent, but among the clubs that Chelsea just beat, Newcastle is still not thats tough when compared to the last 2 club (Tottenham and Manchester City)

When Chelsea play against top clubs, they always have surprises and play better than when they play against bottom clubs, that's why this match against Newcastle will definitely be difficult to predict, looking at previous matches against Tottenham and Manchester City is enough to prove that they really play well. when facing a strong club that is at the top of the EPL standings.

Chelsea performance has improved and they need to remain consistent on their games going forward. When they played against Tottenham Hotspur, we thought they’re back in form and then they lose that consistency not until when they drew against Manchester City again. They need to be showcasing great football quality when playing against both big and small teams in order to go far in the league and have a better position in the league table.

At the beginning of the season, the Chelsea team performed less and that was when they played against the bottom team which made them lose to them. It was in this month that the Chelsea team began to find their feet, that's when we had them playing beautiful football against big teams like Tottenham and Manchester City.
Chelsea's next match against Newcastle will be another tough match for Chelsea to face again because it is an away match for them. The last time they played against Newcastle in their home last season, the match ended in a draw match. I don't know whether the same thing would happen again. My hands crossed because both teams are in their best form currently.

Manchester united is in its transforming stage, it will take time before they will bounce back to winning ways because there's a whole of things to set by the coach and the players will have to abide by strict rules set. Erik Ten Hag have his own ego to float, we know him to be one of the tough coaches that have managed Manchester United and he's not going to relent when it comes to his duties as headcoach. He discipline his players accordingly and he share the exact same respect and commitment to all of them despite the high status of some players.

Yeah I actually agree with you because Manchester United has a very long way to go before there performance could be improved, actually they really need to work on the team from players to the coach,in fact coach is one of the major area they need to work on because is quite obvious that Manchester United is finding a hard time copping with the formation of there coach.

So however if possible Manchester United will change there coach and put more capable coach like Arteta you will see that the team performance will be improved immediately and also buying some more strikers will really help Manchester United a lot.

[Adams0001]

Managing players who have a high level of egoism is very difficult, especially if the coach does not have a brilliant career to gain a lot of respect. Ten Hag came to the Premier League with his team's good performance in the Eredivisie, but he has not completely failed in managing the team because in his first season he was able to bring Manchester United qualified to the Champions League.

Ten Hag must win the dressing room because everything starts from there. Some of Manchester United's senior players look selfish in the game and actually this should be resolved rather than bringing in lots of new players. I agree that there are certainly some players who come and go, but improving the performance of existing players must be the focus at this time.

I believe so because Manchester United's problem this season is from the coach because he disciplined so many players very badly, such as Sancho, and I believe that is why Manchester United are playing poorly because even Rushford is not trying as hard as he used to, and it is only Bruno Fernandez who is performing well in the club, and if Manchester United lose against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, they should just sack him and bring in a new coach because Erik ten hag is not helping the club,  and I believe that if they continue to perform like that, Manchester United will not go anywhere this season. Now that the international break is over, let's see how he performs this weekend against Everton, if he can defeat them because Everton are performing well now, and I believe they can beat Manchester United because Manchester United has tough games in the Champions League against Galatasaray and they will not put too much effort into the game against Everton.

I agree with your point, Manchester United already have a lot of talented players and adding more players when they can’t manage and deal with the current ones will make the existing feel unappreciated of that fact and assume the team don’t really value them for bringing in young players like them. The management might also want to make the team more competitive by bringing in rivals to those players that don’t perform well or are full of themselves. Whatever they do or intend to do, they should work on improving the overall performance of the team because they are lacking in all positions now which they need to address before it gets worse for them in the league.

I don't think there should be much concern about the feelings of players when new players get added to raise the competition. Every player playing on that level as a professional has to be able to cope with competition. This is not about individual wishes or feelings, it is about the team as a collective and competition is a major part of it. It is actually what makes everyone better. But the issue isn't competition, the issue is the lack of the ability to smoothly integrate players into the system (if there is any system). Manchester United had lots of great talents and couldn't get them to play well for the team. But this can have many reasons and the coach might be one of them.

Chelsea performance has improved and they need to remain consistent on their games going forward. When they played against Tottenham Hotspur, we thought they’re back in form and then they lose that consistency not until when they drew against Manchester City again. They need to be showcasing great football quality when playing against both big and small teams in order to go far in the league and have a better position in the league table.

Though Chelsea seems to have performed a little bit well in their current matches but that can't give them an edge that they are at the verge of picking form. Chelsea needs lots of works to do in other to achieve a long time winning streak, I think now that Chelsea have achieved quite a good result after meeting three of the top four contenders, I mean they met Arsenal and drew, met Tottenham and won, then also met Manchester city and drew. So achieving 5 points in this three matches was really a great performance for the club but however they need to improve more as it will be very bad to play good football against a stronger side then lose to a weaker team it is really gonna be ridiculous.

But the problem is that even if there was a thorough discussion in the dressing room and maybe it could fix everything, I see it as nothing more than a formality. After being on the field, these players will definitely forget what was discussed previously and in my opinion, even if Manchester United still has players who are as selfish as before, then they will not really be able to solve the problem and the team must be willing to continue to be at a disadvantage.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Manchester United's situation regarding coach and player relations is heating up again. Currently it is rumoured that after Jadon Sancho was involved in a problem with Ten Hag that has not ended until now there is now the name Varane who is rumoured to be dissatisfied with the way Ten Hag's leadership at Manchester United has made the relationship between the two tenuous now.
This situation gave rise to a rumour that Varane will leave to avoid further conflict with Ten Hag and indeed this is the fastest way for him to get out of the trap of his problems (just like Ronaldo) where it is now rumoured that Varane will leave in January. This will be exploited by several clubs because there are already offers from SPL clubs to bring Varane to the oil fields and there are also offers from Bayern that have been prepared for Varane if he decides to leave.
But clearly this will be a disaster again for Manchester United especially for their defence because if in the end Varane leaves then indeed the defence has many gaps where the current situation is some of their players are also injured.

Ten Hag is about to make a huge change in Manchester United and they are going to sell or release some players. Manchester United surely needs some changes.
Donny van de Beek and Sancho are going to leave in January. Scott McTominay, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen are probably open for sale, and probably Manchester United will not buy Sofyan Amrabat permanently after his loan is over.
The last time Ten Hag made some changes in Manchester United he couldn't improve the team and now Ten Hag hopes to see better performance from Manchester United after some changes he is going to make.

It is unfortunate indeed for some players who can be said to have failed at Manchester United, especially for Van De Beek. I quite like what he did at the previous club but his performance dropped dramatically at Manchester United not only today but even in the Rangnick and Ole era he failed to shine especially with the injuries he had experienced exacerbating the performance problems of Van De Beek.
Several offers have also been made for this player but he continues to insist on being at Manchester United but it looks like this January he will be forced to leave.
For some other players there will definitely be some changes but the problem is that the scouts at Manchester United and Ten Hag's choices also sometimes do not match expectations such as now Mount who still cannot show his performance or last season where we saw the name Weghorst who failed on loan.

Van de Beek once shone with Ten Hag when he was at Ajax which was indeed a very good season for Ajax because there were several players like Martinez, Antony and Van de Beek and Haller but after the move of these players to the current club where Haller to Dortmund and 3 players to Manchester United (Van de Beek, Antony and Martinez) so far only Martinez has not been too disappointing because for Van de Beek the previous injury problem really made him like destroyed in terms of performance other than that Antony, I don't want to talk anything about his emotions that are always overflowing.

If there is going to be a major overhaul in January then Manchester United must be prepared with all situations and finances because releasing some players like Eriksen or Van de Beek now I don't think it will make their finances increase much because the value is currently far below compared to previous purchases.

Chelsea's opponent this week is Newcastle United, which is also a big team with a not so bad position in the League table and I also hope that Chelsea can play better to improve their position in the League table. Because it is time for Chelsea to make a comeback with a very good performance from now on so that Chelsea can continue to stick with other mid-table teams before entering the start of the new year or before the transfer market opens again.

It's surprising that they are 6th in the table because you can't tell from their play that they can be in that position. I am not happy with their position in the Champions League, they are losing in a blowout and most likely won't even qualify for the Europa League. In the EPL standings they are still holding up well

Manchester doesn't have any good consistency, not in the Champions League nor in the Premier League but it's fine thÉat they are in better place in the table but they are still far from Atson Villa that is ahead of them by 4 points and even they are can win their next two matches, what is the probability of Aston villa not winning their next two matches as well.

Chelsea performance has improved and they need to remain consistent on their games going forward.

There is no way to expect that from Chelsea because it's  like we are requesting  a heavy duty from Chelsea. Let's say the want to be consistent, they are 10 points away from the top of the table and they need atleast like 3 win back to back before getting that. Now, how is Chelsea going to have 3 clear games for Chelsea without causing any problem. Even Manchester City will have to break a lot of resistance to keep such kind of title but it's Chelsea they want to bran it.

The egoism that occurs at Manchester United does seem to have become an ingrained problem because it is not only about Ten Hag who still has a big ego but some of his players are also the same, especially when on the field.
This season I am still highlighting the play of Rashford and Bruno who sometimes play always prioritizing their individual qualities rather than working well together with a team. Things like this are always difficult to control, especially for Rashford who sometimes focuses too much on dribbles and Bruno who always insists on scoring goals.
Although it is sometimes a good thing but on the one hand this also makes opportunities sometimes wasted and if Ten Hag remains trusted as now to become a coach at Manchester United then he must be able to solve things like this.

Manchester united is in its transforming stage, it will take time before they will bounce back to winning ways because there's a whole of things to set by the coach and the players will have to abide by strict rules set.

After the era of Sir Alex Ferguson was over, Man United is always in the transforming period. It was already a long time that Man United is no longer in the winning way. Man United squad is always very unstable although they already changed many coaches. I don't know why Man United must take a long time to reform their squad. I think the problem isn't only about the coach but it is also about Man United management.

Erik Ten Hag have his own ego to float, we know him to be one of the tough coaches that have managed Manchester United and he's not going to relent when it comes to his duties as headcoach. He discipline his players accordingly and he share the exact same respect and commitment to all of them despite the high status of some players.

Alex Ferguson was also a strict and disciplined coach. But he knows how to deal with their players. He knows how to keep the squad in a good condition although there were good players who left Man United at that time. So, it is about the ability to manage the squad in a proper way. It is something that Erik Ten Hag still can't apply in Man United. He has an ego and strict to the players but he doesn't know how to keep the balance of Man United squad. As a coach, Erik Ten Hag must have the ability to keep the squad condition in a comfortable condition although he has a problem with 1-2 players. One of the way, is too choose the right team captain. It should be for a player with stable and mature mentality. It is not for a player like Harry Maguire or Bruno Fernandes.

Chelsea's opponent this week is Newcastle United, which is also a big team with a not so bad position in the League table and I also hope that Chelsea can play better to improve their position in the League table. Because it is time for Chelsea to make a comeback with a very good performance from now on so that Chelsea can continue to stick with other mid-table teams before entering the start of the new year or before the transfer market opens again.

EPL table will change with time, let's watch out the outstanding performance that will come from these teams present, some will fight for significant positions and winning major titles while some will be relegated because of extremely poor performance this season. We should not hope because watching the team that will face Chelsea this weekend, Newcastle is not competitive as they were few months back, so it will be understandable if they're humiliated when they face Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino and the Blues will no longer settle for lesser results this season, they have the burning fire in them.

In the upcoming game, Newcastle and Chelsea are going to play against each other. This might be a tricky match because Newcastle is a good team, even though they don't always play consistently well. Chelsea, on the other hand, has faced tough opponents like Tottenham and Manchester City before. Based on how Chelsea performed in those matches, I think they have the skills to handle Newcastle and win the game.If Chelsea does win this next match, it could mean that Chelsea is doing really well again. This victory might boost their confidence and make them even more determined to win future games. Let's wait and see what happens in the match it's like a little adventure to find out who will come out on top.

Chelsea has recently show that they have improved a little in their game style and are most likely good to face almost any team they may be encountering in the premier league, especially the draw against one of the toughest team this season must have taken their confidence high up enough.

They seem to show more strength playing against bigger teams than they will do against smaller team, they have succeeded in getting some points from every big team they meet this season, with Tottenham they got three points and with Manchester city they got one  so with Newcastle it's very possible they will get a point because they have got their morale high up and their confidence is really good .

It's true as you said, Man United really has to be patient and it will take time for them to return to being the team most feared by opponents in the EPL under Erik Hag's tag. But sometimes Erik Tag Hag's discipline is also too much in my opinion, just look at the example when Erik Tag Hag called out Sancho for not training well then sent him away but continued to play Rashford regardless of how bad he was hmm so I guess Rashford trains very well but can't do it in the game the truth, and what's strange is that when Rashford doesn't perform well but Erik Tag always plays him.

In essence, in my opinion, Erik Tag Hag must be stricter with players who cannot show their best game by substituting these players, not just disciplining players who are disobedient.
