Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

How could the referee make such an instant decision? It is meaningless. Haland had already stood up and had already removed the pass from his foot.

That was really poor officiating from Simon Hooper, i can't say what he was thinking there, he let play go on for an advantage and the moment Haaland releases Grealish through on goal, he pulls it back, i have never seen such a decision before, that is why i think sometimes referees need to come up with explanations on some important decisions after the game.

That being said, City didn't draw because of that single action, they drew because they were not ruthless enough in attack and they made quite a lot of mistakes in defense. Pep has quite a lot of work to do if his team are going to be as successful as they were last season, they have to start taking their chances and defending a whole lot better.

3-3 draw. This was Manchester City's third draw, all of them were teams pushing for the leadership. It was a match in which Manchester City played much better, they had a lot of good tries, apart from the goals. Totthenem scored the second goal after literally putting City to sleep. I have not seen such a referee mistake for a long time. How could the referee make such an instant decision? It is meaningless. Haland had already stood up and had already removed the pass from his foot.

Yes, that's a fair result for both teams if you look at it from the perspective of the two teams play in today's match. The progress of our match was immediately started by Son's quite impressive action in scoring the initial goal.  Son is truly the actor who is able to bring Tottenham back up after 3 consecutive defeats and the results of today match certainly make them more confident to perform even better. Even so, I also praise Tottenham good performance in this match because they visited the Etihad Stadium, but they managed to hold the hosts to a draw, of course it was not an easy job.

Even so, I admit that in today match, Tottenham ambition is to get 3 points, but the opponent they are facing is not a team that is easy to beat, so a draw is quite fair if you look at the hard work they have done.
Tottenham want to re-enter the top 4 rankings and they must be able to do this in the upcoming matches because Aston villa is becoming more consistent in maintaining their ranking in the standing table. For Manchester City, they lost quite a lot of points in the last 3 matches so that their ranking was shifted by Liverpool this week. Maybe if Manchester City drops from the top 4 the competition this season will be even more interesting

@Trofo Arsenal is me and I am Arsenal. Arsenal will contend for the league with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City this season. I would love to make a shocking revelation now and that is that Arsenal is surely winning the league. The missing rib was Declan Rice and now that it has been found we are winning.

Regardless of the game we saw between Manchester City and Tottenham in this team and this was an amazing game for everyone to watch because this game was also an important game for both teams, I think the match between Liverpool and Fulham was really interesting and the performance of Liverpool was awesome in this match, they scored four goals and won the game with a 4-3 result.

Liverpool is on an 18-match unbeaten run and has won the last 10 matches. However, Fulham is not easily bullied right now because if you count the final 4 confrontations, the achievements of the 2 clubs are balanced with 2 draws, and each team has 1 win. Trent Alexander-Arnold was Liverpool's hero when his goal helped the team win a dramatic 4-3 against Fulham at Anfield. In just the 87th and 88th minutes, Liverpool scored two goals thanks to Endo and Alexander-Arnold to win 4-3. Anfield is genuinely a "fierce land" for Premier League teams this season. Liverpool have not lost any points in 6 matches played at home in the Premier League. With this result, Liverpool temporarily replaced defending champion Man City in 2nd place on the rankings.

I think it's time for Manchester City to make changes in their defence. In their last four games, they have conceded 10 goals despite investing so much in it. It is possible that their chances will get slimmer with the goals conceded, especially if it continues, even if they continue to score goals like they have been

Fulham was giving a very good pressure toward liverpool but it's good to see how TAA saves liverpool again from the lose. Yeah i can't even believe how liverpool was leading the match with only two minutes needed by the club to make it happen.
Endo and TAA have been giving joy to the liverpool fans. No doubt that if they were praising them at the end of match. That's good to see this result. I hope it can perform better in the future.

Liverpool shall have won europa league or it will be a disastrous season. Liverpool can do that. Let's wait what kind of surprise that will come soon. Liverpool is trying to get its momentum back again.

The drama of six goals decorated the Man City vs Tottenham match

Tottenham dramatically managed to hold Manchester City to a draw with a tight score of 3-3 which was held at the Etihad Stadium. Chasing goals occurred in this match. Manchester City's three goals each came from Son Heung-min's suicide and the actions of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Thanks to this result, Man City dropped to third place in the standings with 30 points. Meanwhile, Tottenham is stuck in 5th place with 27 points.

This match was very interesting and dramatic. Many opportunities were created and many goals were also scored by both teams.

Manchester City could have won this match if there had not been a controversial incident by the referee. where Man City got the opportunity to counterattack through Grealish. But controversially the match was stopped by the referee because Haaland had previously been fouled by Sanchez. Even though the referee could have decided that the match would continue for City because there was an advantage for them.

How were you very sure that the incident you described would have led to a goal? Why don't you consider that Tottenham would have won the match if son didn't score an OG. In football you expect the best but prepare for the worse. It was a good match full of perseverance and dedication. If there was a team that was supposed to win, I would have given it to Tottenham giving their sudden good form after weeks of poor performance.

No team is everly 100% complete. Manchester city is an attacking minded team, so don't expect them to be excellent in defence. Their forwards win matches for them by the number of goals they score and not the defence.

Despite conceding a lot of goals in their last four games, Manchester City remains one of the best teams in the Premier League this season. I believe it won't matter much if they are already winning most of their matches by two or more goals, which will compensate for the goals conceded by their goalkeeper. They can still make adjustments to the defence positions, but I don't think that will prevent them from winning their games and maintaining their lead in the Premier League title race.

I didn't watch the Liverpool Vs Fulham match.  But I do not think it was a great play for Liverpool as you have meant. For Liverpool to concede 3 goals from Fulham is not a nice story. Despite that they were able to win at last it did expose their weakness in conceding goals just like the case of Manchester city. In as much as you score, also don't concede much but I do know that high scoring teams don't always have the defensive power.

Not only this season. Manchester City has been phenomenal in the English premier League for the past 5 seasons. I even see the decline of performance this season compared to last season. However, Manchester City might have problems winning the English premier League title this season that Liverpool is active and competing.

Manchester city was consistently missing the points here and im very disappointed with the result. I thought that one of them won the game but it was draw. The most unacceptable result as for now.
Many people were being trapped caused by they were picking manchester city over totenham but the defensive line of manchester city was not performing so well. There must be some replacement to be made by city.
Pep shall have prepared something new to be used by manchester city. Im not even trying to argue with the performance from attacking line coz it was performing so well. I just wanna try to argue about how bad the performance from the manchester city.
It's very disappointed for me and all of bettors. Im not picking city draw and this sucks. City was really under perform. It shall stop to do stupid strategy for the defenders to go up front again.

If we analyze their recent formation, Man City played with 3 defenders now. I think this makes the weakness of Man City defense. Pep Guardiola may need to return the formation to 4 defenders. But if they played again with 4 defenders, their attacking can be not as offensive as now. Per Guardiola put 3 defenders probably wants to play more offensively.

I think Pep Guardiola can use 4 defenders for the big matches only. Meanwhile for the match against weak teams, Man City can play with 3 defenders and with more midfielders.

Manchester City fell to 3rd place in the points table. I think Pep thought he would definitely get 3 points in this match. City played the match at home and took the lead 2-1. After 2-1, I thought Manchester City would widen the gap even more, but it didn't happen. As always, Tottenham managed to get points by playing better in big matches.

Spurs performance has slipped in last couple of games. Today's match was a good match and Spurs did a good job today. Spurs had the early break but it was a short one as in 3 minutes City also found their opener. After then City dominated the game but in last point of time Spurs also found goals and equalised with City. Now with that drop City has moved to 3rd and Spurs has moved to 5th position on the table.

It is an emotional, dramatic win for Liverpool and generally there are so many goals in the match. More impressive and entertaining, there are some sensational goals in the match. Liverpool still shown some weakness in their defense system but their attacking system again shown its strength and ability to score goals for them.

Alexander Arnold is more fitted with a midfielder position with is excellent passing skills, great vision as well as powerful and accurate distant shots. That position also helps him to reduce defensive mistakes he can make but generally Liverpool defensive system has more than only Arnold and it is still weak. Klopp will have to tighten it because the season is long and Liverpool will not go too far in both Premier League and Champions League if those defensive weaknesses won't be fixed soon.

About the formation if i am not mistaken Guardiola was often to used 3 defender for each matches whether it against weak teams or against big teams so i don't think he will change this formation but indeed i have been noticed Manchester City defensive lines was so weak recently and the combination between Gvardiol, Walker and Ruben Dias has unable to showing solid defense even in the last 2 matches Manchester City have already conceded 5 goals

However the competition is more interesting now because the difference points between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool is very tight because whichever team loses in the upcoming matches their position will be taken over by another teams and next weekend Manchester City will facing hard match because they have to fight against Aston Villa and we all know at home Aston Villa is still unbeatable and they have fantastic records because from 6 home matches in Premier League Aston Villa can able to win all of those matches

Pep Guardiola really likes placing three defenders in strategic positions and this has been going on for a long time with this formation, although if they encounter resistance they will try to change their strategy. If you pay attention, Pep Guardiola is basically trying to maximize Akanji in the defensive line because using a 3-2-4-1 formation can help attack and defend. The weakness is when the opponent is able to survive and is able to provide balanced resistance. So it will affect Manchester City's defense because it is easier for opponents to counterattack using full speed.

In the Champions League, Pep Guardiola also used this strategy and it may be true as you said. If you face a weak team, this strategy is quite optimal because Manchester City is dominant in the midfield, but it is quite dangerous when facing a balanced team because it provides space in the defensive area using three defender to defend.

Liverpool are in second place after a brilliant epic comeback against Fulham who thought they won it all. This is football, one might never know the next minute outcome and a club can be too relaxed knowing fully well be won but things did change whenever the fans raised a song of we never walk alone, it movtivated the fans and the players are ginger to deliver the club. My love for Trent Alexander-Arnold has grown to become one of the admire phase for the Englishman. He was classic against Fulham at Anfield. Scoring a sumptuous goal to make the difference on the scoresheet.

Likely, Pep Guardiola have long time with 3-2-4-1 formation formation where left and right defender must working hard when defensive and offensive games play, usually some manager in Premier League have adopted with 3-5-2 and the same scheme with Pep Guardiola need right and left defender with active when building counter attack. Usually Kyle Walker and Manuel Akanji should active when Manchester City on offensive and defensive games. But last match not really working yet with Pep Guardiola formation how easily Tottenham Hotspur scored 3 goals and become three consecutive draw matches for Manchester City.

Usually Pep Guardiola formation is 4-3-3 when becoming Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager, due high intention in Premier League with many teams most prefer physical games play Pep Guardiola left his favorite formation becoming 3-2-4-1.

Manchester City's performance yesterday was quite good for me, but as discussed by many people here, this formation error made Manchester City's defense a little worse and I saw that Tottenham didn't always put pressure on Manchester City's defense, but occasionally applying pressure can always make Manchester City's defense look better. pressured by this attack but fortunately Ederson Moraes' performance was very good several times in securing the goal but no matter how good the goalkeeper is if the defense is weak it certainly won't last long so they can concede 3 scores.
A lot of people talk about the bad things about Manchester City, Pep Guardiola used the wrong formation because it really made this popular club a little weak even though it was actually performing very well.
I admit that Tottenham have performed extraordinary again this time, being able to hold a draw when competing with giant clubs in the Premier League and this endangers the position of Manchester City which is currently in third place while Arsenal continues to win.
It is very interesting for the Premier League this season to see intense competition from different clubs.

[Uruhara]

That being said, City didn't draw because of that single action, they drew because they were not ruthless enough in attack and they made quite a lot of mistakes in defense. Pep has quite a lot of work to do if his team are going to be as successful as they were last season, they have to start taking their chances and defending a whole lot better.

So true. And Man City in this match even made mistakes from the first minutes of the match. I think at the start of the match they even lost focus a little. But they were able to score a lead in the first half. It's just that right now I feel that the Etihad Stadium is not like it was in previous seasons. Well, in previous seasons the Etihad Stadium has always been a very scary match venue for opponents. Man City always wins quite easily and Man City can always embarrass their opponents at this stadium. But Man City must remain grateful that they did not lose in this match. Because I even felt a little pessimistic when Spurs managed to score the first goal in this match. Son really made things difficult for Man City's defense in this match. I think Pep must immediately fix Man City's current defensive weaknesses. For the attack line, I think Man City still has the advantage as usual. It's just that sometimes when they attack, their defense creates gaps. Maybe this is caused by the midfield which is sometimes too late to come down to help the back.

Now Arsenal is increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings with a difference of 3 points to Man City.
