Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Igebotz]

are there any free experienced coaches who can replace Solskjaer? it's easy just to sack him but new coach will need some time to adjust to his new team and it may also cost lost points.

it's not easy to fire him. MU doesn't have money to pay his severance pay and in reality, the official very much loves him even if he loses in the next game he will stay until finishes. If Ole has the shame, he has to resign and give the chance for another coach. Many free coaches out there who are ready to MU (but they won't it). It's okay, even if they lose, MU still has lots of money coming to the stadium just for watching Ronaldo, that the points.

The Manchester United board is confident in Ole's ability to turn things around; they see him as a long-term club project, similar to how Alex Ferguson's first 2-3 seasons at Manchester United were a total failure, with fans calling for his sacking before he turned things around and placed the club's history where it is today.

think United can get into the title race this season, I'm just worried that there will be disharmony between Ronaldo and management, considering Ronaldo can't always take the pressure he's under.

Not sure if Ronaldo cares about the team's success, he moved to the Premier League to gain more media attention, which he did, because he realized that all of the emphasis was focused on Messi because La Liga receives more coverage than the Italian league. Whether United loses or wins, Ronaldo is always the center of attention. He wants to be considered for the Ballon d'Or one again, but his time has come and gone.

I disagree with you at this point.Everybody knows Arsenal were a regular team in the champions league for about 13 years or so under Arsene Wenger.Now this is Arteta's era,where he is trying to build something,a collection of young players who are willing to win games together and make the club grow big.
With the way Arsenal are currently playing,you cannot say they cannot play the champions league,the young boys are really up to something,and let's look at where their form will make them end on the table.

I didn't say they cannot play, I said they cannot win. Anybody can occasionally qualify for the CL, although it will be really hard for Arsenal to do so in England with competition being extremely strong.
I said already that I like this new Arsenal team - I just feel they are not ready yet to perform at a high standard in 2 parallel competitions.

If they continue improving, in a few years they will be back and will be ready. Currently it would derail their performance too much.

[CryptocurencyKing]

He still has the confidence to stay at Old Trafford whatever the outcome he sees it as a journey to be faced, some defeats at home are more painful and embarrassing but it's not enough for him to resign.
I'm just more curious about how Ronaldo feels with the results so far.

Some people and maybe some ManU staff too is waiting for him to resign too especially after their defeat vs Liverpool with 5 goals to 0! I can understand keeping him because they cannot afford to spend money anymore for now to pay the fine but I find the whole situation embarrassing for the team to perform like that... For how long they could resist and at what position they aim to finish? 9 points from Chelsea which doesn't seem to give up.. City, Liverpool and even West Ham and Arsenal are doing quite well there making CL spot quite hard.

Im getting tied of these so-called United legends, these people all they talk is crucifying the players, especially the foreigners while protecting Ole and Maguire. Are they not seeing this same picture with us the fans? And the reason to keep him is what?? He is clueless, cannot man manage players, cannot tactically set up a team, cannot coach elite players, we have no identity, we are beaten easily beaten and outplayed by every team we recently played , players do not believe in him …. Things cannot get any worse so again why would we even consider keeping him. I’m a United fan until I die and that’s not going to change but something at that club needs to and fast. How many chances to be given to Ole? Or all management teams are dull. Fans have no faith in Ole any more. He is doing worse than good.

I do not agree with you. Ronaldo wants to touch the Champions League title again. For this, you have to perform well as a team. Ronaldo alone will not be able to win the Manchester United title. However, Manchester United is not able to perform well as a team now. The players have lost the match-winning mentality. They have to come back in full energy again. Otherwise, they will not be able to win the Champions League title. At the same time, they will lose the qualification to perform in the Champions League next season

Although Ronaldo desire is very great to be able to win the English League and Champions League again, but it will be in vain if Manchester United does not immediately make improvements to their squad, apart from the coach, Manchester United this season must immediately improve their fragile defense, especially if they lost varane of course we can see how easy it is for the opposing strikers to penetrate their defense, I think besides Ole manchester they also have to get rid of players like maguire in January.

I agree that Man United's defense is very fragile and makes mistakes a lot. I also don't see Harry Maguire making a good contribution to
Man United since he was bought for a very high price. And Maguire's selection of captaincy is questionable, because I don't see Maguire can
motivating Man United players. I agree that Man United should get rid of Maguire and buy a better defender. But the most important thing is
that Man United must immediately find a replacement for Solskjaer. because some Man United players have reportedly lost faith
in Solskjaer. If left like that, Man United players will not be able to bring out their best abilities. And if Man United decides to keep Solskjaer,
there is a possibility that Man United will fail to enter the top 4 to be able to play in the Champions League next season.

In the last few games of manchester united, it looks like their defense is very easy to break through and there is even no good coordination between their defense and midfield when facing attacks from atlanta and manchester city at that time, and even maguire who is the team captain is not able to lift the morale of the players others and even he himself often makes fatal mistakes, but I don't know what is in the mind of the current management of manchester united who continues to maintain Solskjaer after continuing to get minor results, oh well I think now ronaldo is actually very worthy to be captain of the team, apart from being an important player, Ronaldo is also famous for being able to motivate other players in times of defeat.

Maguire isn't even the major problem in man it's now,the problem is that there is no coordination in the team and the midfielders that are fixed can't deliver sensitive passes 5 of which 2 may lead to a goal in the game.
The defense is porous and i thought as much and expected something better when varane came but the outcome,gameplay and reposition isn't worth the hyping i gave man utd.
I believe if the team can improvise;
Sign good defenders that can cover leaked positions,then they are good to go

Solskjaer wasn't the pillar of the team and they can definitely do without them if they improvise and adapt

Solskjaer has actually tried to fix that weakness, which he applying a 3-4-1-2 (or 3-5-2) formation. In a defensive state, 2 midfielders will retreat to the back, so they will have 5 defenders to withstand the opponent's attack. Supposedly with this formation, Man United's defense can be stronger, but if the weak point is the players then multiplying defenders at the back is not a solution.

In my opinion, Maguire and Lindelof have no speed and they rarely make tackles. While Varane still needs time to adapt to Man United's style of play.

Ronaldo is indeed the right person to hold the position of captain. Maybe next season Ronaldo will actually become Man United captain  .

In my opinion, Maguire is not a top-notch defender but if we skip all of his contribution for Manchester United, it is not right and not fair. When Maguire came, he helped to improved the defense system of Man United. What happened is players around him are not good especially his team mate in the centre. The club tried to fix it by buying Varane from Real Madrid but so far he spent more time in health recovery than real matches.

But the most important thing is that Man United must immediately find a replacement for Solskjaer. because some Man United players have reportedly lost faith in Solskjaer. If left like that, Man United players will not be able to bring out their best abilities.

It is not only about faith but also about the system Solskjaer has built up for the club after 3 years there. I don't see clearly what tactic he builds for the club. He drains his favorite players' energy a lot and don't care to protect them in unimportant matches. Then in important matches, for titles, example, they were exhausted and the consequence is their bad performance that in turn results in failure in final matches. No title at the end, something like this.

Ole should now focus on how to strengthen his defense without thinking ahead. Manchester United are lagging behind in every match only because of weak defense. It was a shame to concede 5 goals against Liverpool. When players concede 2 or 3 goals, they lose the mentality to counter-attack. And so they have to stay mentally strong and strengthen Ole's defense. He can use defensive match tactics.

I don't think the sack of Ole will improve Manchester United's performance. Ole's strategy may be weak, but Manchester United's players are not playing well. Their performance is poor. No player of the defense can play well except Varane. Midfielders Pogba and Bruno are also out of form. Players need to be more hardworking. Otherwise, I don't see any chance of Manchester United's performance improving this season.

Lol. Do you believe Ronaldo joined Manchester United with the goal of winning the Champions League? I don't believe so. Ronaldo was well aware that winning the Champions League with Manchester City would be difficult, which is why he initially chose Manchester City. Yes, he wanted to keep winning titles, but this Manchester United club has gone five years without a trophy, and I believe their main goal is to fight and win the league. For the time being, the Champions League is not a goal.

The players have lost the match-winning mentality. They have to come back in full energy again. Otherwise, they will not be able to win the Champions League title

The players are ready to perform but the tactical situation around the team is not a good one, only Ole can motivate the team now no one else.

Gerrard to Aston Villa - all but confirmed. The announcement is expected in a day or two, he's finalizing agreements with his backroom staff.

I'm really happy for him, he's making all the right steps. Maybe one day he'll be good enough for the ultimate challenge.

December 11th - save the date - Aston Villa coming to Anfield.

Isn't it the role of the coach to improve the performance of his players?
What you are saying is true, now the game of manchester united is no longer as interesting as it used to be and the lack of tactics possessed by Solskjaer makes the game even worse, that's why I say that manchester united must find another coach and also some better defenders, in a a club that prefers to use a formation that tends to attack like Manchester, a strong and solid defense is very important in anticipating counter attacks from opponents and we don't see that in Manchester today.

[judas]

Everyone is curious about what decision Manchester United will make in the coming days. It is pretty obvious that they are performing far worse than the last season now. Maybe they were not the champions in the last season but they still ended at the 2nd position which was a great achievement for them. But now, they are at the 6th position and their performance level is very low. They need to take the needed steps to make this team get back to their old days.

[Cnut237]

Manchester United and their boards of directors are deceiving their selves, because if they don't sack Ole before the end of November they should forget about the league title and is a shame because when the season started they were one of the favourite to lift the title ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea but right now they are trying their best to be better than west ham.and the board are doing nothing,that's very poor from them.

are there any free experienced coaches who can replace Solskjaer? it's easy just to sack him but new coach will need some time to adjust to his new team and it may also cost lost points.

The stupid thing is, managers get sacked so frequently these days, that there is always some suitable candidate available. So any manager who is sacked (whether rightly or wrongly) for "failing" at a club, can almost immediately get a new contract with a different club. They may change clubs, but the pool of managers remains relatively consistent, and most have been sacked at some point. It highlights how unfair some of the sackings are, if the best candidate is almost always someone who has been sacked from somewhere else.

It seems that the dismissals of several clubs in the Premier League for their coaches may be more inclined to the achievements they want to produce instantly, especially considering that the Premier League has such intense competition every week that coaches have to rack their brains with the player material they have in order to be able to do so. remained in the top position of the premier league, but it was in contrast to what was done by the management of Arsenal who gave so much confidence to Mikel Arteta and this proved to be true where he succeeded in lifting Arsenal into the top five positions in the premier league standings, despite many dismissals. I don't think there will be much change that new coaches can make, such as Tottenham Hotspur, who sacked Nuno Espirito.who was replaced by his successor Antonio Conte

I think that in the next season, simply because of his age, Ronaldo will play fewer matches (or more often come on as a substitute being initially in reserve), so there is no point in making him the captain. Everyone knows and appreciates his merits, and in this case there is no point in this, since he can motivate even without having the team captain's bandage.

Gerrald anticipated move to Aston Villa is yet to be finalized according to some reports Ranger are trying their possible best to keep him while Aston Villa is also considering Martinez another target along with Gerrald, before the resumption of EPL a new manager would be announced, I prefer Gerrald for the job based on his outstanding performance for Rangers who broke the dominance of Celtic in the Scottish league, I hope replicate that performance in EPL if finally appointed by Aston Villa.
