Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[EdenHazard]

Disgusting performance by United today and how much patience does the fans have ? I think 0. This was the last game of Ole as United coach as I simply don't care who is coming to replace him but we really need a top manager as soon as possible. Maybe somehow , we can bring Diego Simmeone from ATL.Madrid as he is having kinda the same fate on his team and he is looking for a new challenge.

For Manchester City fans I believe this derby is a great game because their team played well for 90 minute and won the match. The mentality of the Manchester City players was great today from the start and it was the perfect revenge after last week's loss vs Crystal Palace. Maybe Ole should be sacked for this bad result, but who will replace him? Simeone is good, but he needs a lot of time to adapt to the atmosphere of the Premier League which is super tight. Congratulation to Manchester city fans today.  

Manchester City performance today was indeed extraordinary and they were able to continue to trouble Manchester United defense, for the Manchester United squad to be honest I don't know what to say, because I saw that in that match, Manchester United lost to all existing lines when dealing with Manchester City, 3 matches which are opportunities for Ole have finished and the results are really bad enough 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, so we'll just have to wait and see what the management of manchester united will do with Ole now.

not only making a lot of threats ...

they were too great for manchester united, every team that facing pep guardiola side most of the times struggling though and feel like a training match, damn he is really a master. the players looks really enjoyed every touch of the ball , the whole match looks easier with pep as a coach .. at bayern munich .. at barcelona and now manchester city, his team always trashing the opponents!
guess that ole out gonna soaring again but he will not! SAF are on his back unfortunately.

Contrary to today's match, it is now certain that Manchester United players are the ones to be blamed in today's match against Manchester City. It's no longer the coach. It doesn't make sense to sack the coach and retain these unmotivated players. The willpower for Manchester United to win matches is gone. The loopholes are still in Manchester United defence.
In commentator words "Manchester United are like the milky way; they have a lot of shooting stars but are never far from the black hole".

Although we were all pleased with the own goal, it is a great excuse for him. So I think this match can be discounted, besides, I would say that Ole has three more upcoming matches in reserve, since they will all be played on a foreign field (in the context of the fact that losing away is not as shameful as losing at home). And one more thing ... I am very surprised that Tuchel left Mount and Pulisic on the bench, for me it is more than a shock.

Manchester City finally humiliated Manchester United at home, with the score 0-2 and I admit City's performance was very good and dominated the game.
and in terms of chances, City had 16 chances with 5 shots on target, and United had 5 chances one of which was on target.
and City's defense is also very good and disciplined and from the start of the game City kept pressing United's defense and in this derby showed the quality of the coach in strategy and also the right players, and it looks like Ole will be out soon.

[D-law]

Ohh my goodness, Norwich.
Someone tell me I'm drunk,hahaha, are they finally back on the league ?
They're not favorites but breaking the odds,this is good result for the visitors if it eventually ends like this.
Goals from Normann and a penalty from Pukki.

It's quite unfortunate that Ole was being blamed for Man Utd bad performance when the players are the major culprit, Maguire has been playing very bad all this while, most of their defenders are not playing well Fred and Mctominay Harnandez were shadow of their former self in midfield, they are not taking possession of the ball to link up well with the attack, let the players change their attitude and motivate themselves definitely there will be a turn around while Ole needs to start benching some the so-called star players in the team else nothing will change

[Gosgosking]

Oh my God!! It was a nice play from Manchester city  in today's match. It was so tough and tight defence against Manchester United. I think Manchester United should work on their formation .
Their defense was not impressed.

Manchester City finally humiliated Manchester United at home, with the score 0-2 and I admit City's performance was very good and dominated the game.

This prestigious match between the two Manchester team was won by Manchester City easily. As we can see, Manchester United has been demoralized since Bayli scored an own goal in the first half which Manchester City players use more often to press the defence. At the end of the first half, Manchester City scored again where Shaw hesitated to throw the ball away.

There were only a few dangerous chance for Ederson and one of them came when Ronaldo volleyed in, but it was good that Ederson was so quick to miss his shot with a fine save. While Manchester City created more chance but only 2 goals they managed to create. De Gea was great today, he made a lot of saves so Manchester United didn't lose a lot. Now Manchester City have collected 23 point, but Chelsea still lead the standing with 28 point.

Ole was sacked, it is a consequence he will have to accept after the many bad results his team is experiencing at the moment if it is done in the near future. He failed to bring his team to reach the target set by the club's officials and of course he had to be replaced with another top coach.

[Slow death]

Is it hard to understand why the Manchester united coach is having so many difficulties when he has so many good players? why does he always put on the same formation that only brings defeats? and the strangest thing is to see the management of Manchester united continue with the same coach who is not bringing good results.


Brentford 1 - 2 Norwich

this way i will lose my bet

[izsara]

In the Derby, Manchester United go 2-0 down to Manchester City at halftime and maintain the same score to the end. The situation would have been much worse if De Gea hadn't made his spectacular saves. So I won't hold him responsible for his second goal. Despite its many shooting stars, Manchester United never goes too far from a black hole.

Shots 5-15
shots on goal 1-5
corners 1-9
ball possession 32-68
Monstrous statistics for a club that had a stellar roster and was seen as a contender for the championship. It is very good that today Ronaldo did not show any miracles, and all the factors (the final score, statistics, the game itself) say one thing: something (someone) needs to be changed.

this is one very important thing.
holding this person back will only make the same thing.
It is very unfortunate indeed with a squad that can be said to be complete in every line they have to perform a series of performances that cannot be said to be good and even tend to be criticized.
maybe this is the end for Ole because I think when the MU management wants to force them to stay, it will only add to the distrust of the players and fans.

Let me add another interesting fact to that:- the only corner of Manchester United came in 95th minute of the game and that goes to show show how little of pressure was made by the Manchester United on City. Despite the formation with lot of players getting into mid position they were unable to make any kind of good plays or put pressure on the opponents and that goes to show on what level they are right now compared to another team with them referred to as "big-6".

A surprise in today game between chelsea and burnley it ended in a draw 1 1 after chelsea were ahead in the first half but they only managed to score one goal and they had many opportunities, even in the second half they had some chances but they couldnt score i think the fact that they dont have a striker due to injuries played a major role on today score

[gabbie2010]

Two incredible results Chelsea 1 Burnley 1 and Brentford 1  Norwich 2, congratulations to Norwich for their first win of the  EPL season, beating dreadful Brentford at home is quite a remarkable feat, while Burnley defies all odd and soccer analysts who picked Chelsea to win and drew a wasteful Chelsea in front of goal at Stanford Bridge after putting up an outstanding performance, Barkley was very selfish and wasted a lot of scoring chances that would have seal the match, Crystal Palace also won 2-0 against Wolves.

I believe Solskjaer will be fired very soon, but I'm eager to see how Manchester United players will respond when they get a new manager, tbh, the players are playing in a terrible way, there is zero commitment, no desire and most times from the first whistle you can see their lack of character and they look like they have already lost the game even when it has just started, I have said this a couple of times, I honestly do not think all of the problem stems from Solksjaer, though if a new manager is going to come into the team and revive the morale of the players then it's a good decision that should be taken, thus let OGS step aside.

[Woodie]

Oh my God!! It was a nice play from Manchester city  in today's match. It was so tough and tight defence against Manchester United. I think Manchester United should work on their formation .

honestly no surprises here with todays result and i thought the result was a fair one which put the offensive side lead by Ronaldo to test and never came through with goals this time around and the defensive side of things still needs some work to be done because they were lucky to only concede 2 goals as more goals would have come.

Their defense was not impressed.

not a single bit, and the team needs a serous overhaul to start playing competitively once again, otherwise Uniteds defense is bogus and if not fixed they should forget about winning.

Well Solskjaer hasnt bringed anything to the team no titles no gameplay.They were just outplayed by City in this match and could have been destroyed like Liverpool destroyed them before.I think he needs to be fired now so that the team can find a new coach and try and save this season as fast as possible

This is English Premier League and you have to ready for all results because here any team can beat top ranked team on his day, but good thing happen to Chelsea they were able to have one point from this home game against Burnley which is still struggling in relegation zone with 8 points.

In second surprise of day is Norwich beat high-flying Brentford which was new promoted and having very good start but now suddenly have 4 defeats out of 4 matches it is really serious trouble for them even they are still in good position but now time for having some change of strategy for better results in next few games.

I even guessed that they would lose. Manchester City's level of play is on par with Liverpol. Even today Manchester were lucky to only lose 2-0. Manchester United do not have the dominance of possession. They look too quick to take the ball off. Especially if they receive tight pressing. It's been seen since the first round. It doesn't tell a great club. I don't know what makes them so tense. Even I saw Ronaldo's disappointed expression as they continued to be pressed, the counter-attack didn't have a good scheme. I think I totally agree if the management immediately looks for a new coach.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think Manchester city isn't goal hungry this 2021/2022 season my first time to see them go into a match without a goal at ethihad stadium was this season, and I have seen them score less goals this season than I can remember since pep guardiola became city's coach, the knew they finished Manchester United with a two goal and then wasn't hungry to embarrass United the way Liverpool did another shock to me was Norwich city's first win of this campaign, against their co promoted team Brentford, chelsea draw wasn't a suprise to me. after they have had near draw wins in the English premier league and the UEFA champions league.

we dropped 2 points and let manchester city near us with 3 points difference. such a wasteful momentum, edou mendy also failed to keep the clean sheet and get his 7th cleansheet , not a good day to cheer up in the sunday morning .

tough matches ahead as chelsea have to play against leicester , juventus and manchester united in the upcoming weeks. not a result we wanted , we need lukaku back and he is expected to return next week , hopefully it is.
