Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

I think there's only one thing to address right now "coach". All players depend on the coach, each individual game is also obtained from the instructions of the coach. So I think one right word if you look at Man United's game at the moment is the responsibility of the coach. So United's current game is a reflection of OLe's plans. I think that Man United's game was very bad, they didn't have the confidence to keep the ball. One word I think is right is that Man United must immediately find a new coach.

Norwich City are not a big team, let alone their current position at the bottom of the standings, the question is, will Lampard become a coach at Norwich with a slumped condition at the bottom of the standings? there are only a few positive things because the bottom of the Premier League standings is not far apart in points, only a few points adrift and if Lampard agrees to become Norwich coach there may be hope of escaping the relegation zone.

If Frank Lampard takes the Norwich job, then what a mammoth task he'll have on his hands, he'll be under immense pressure from the start, cause this is a team sinking back into the Championship, and with the quality of players they have, then there may be no way to save their season, even with Lampard and he could immediately find himself straight into the championship, and that will not be good for Frank's career as a manager. I'd love to see if Frank takes up this challenge, he didn't quite have a good time at Chelsea prolly cause expectations were so high, with Norwich all he'll be expected to do is just to avoid relegation, it sounds easy though, but it definitely isn't for a team like Norwich.

%27 shares of West Ham United sold to Czech businessman, I wonder if it will affect club much. West Ham United is going really good already this season, if that boost the club's finance positive we may see them competing in Champions League next year. It would be interesting to see them there because lately always same English clubs play in Champions League.
West Ham United made a four game winning streak and those clubs were big, not a low tier clubs. There is a big probability that West Ham end up season in top places.

In my opinion, Maguire is still lacking to be captain, he is still lacking in providing strong chemistry to other players, so Man United must find the right one and can influence other players, so Maguire lacks motivation in giving it to other players.

One very faithful night while under my blanket, I was pondering the Mystery that landed Maguire as Manchester United captain, but I couldn't decipher.
Was it because of Age?
Because he is England home boy?
Experience?
Cost of purchase?
Leadership skills?
I could possibly get no answer.
Please can someone help tell me how and why?

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.

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.

And even if Manchester United had a goal of winning the Champion League title. I don't think it would have been possible with their present performance. You are right, Ronaldo knew that winning the Champion League with Manchester United won't be an easy task. But come to think of it, Manchester United have a strong and able squad. Only if they had an experienced Coach, I would have said maybe they can probably win the Champion League. Although, they are leading in their group stage table, but it will be tough for them in the Round 16. Also, they have to work hard in order to win the Premier League trophy.

[arallmuus]

and after the sacking of Daniel Farke at norwich city, we may soon see another familiar face in the premier league. speculation is that the successor will be Frank Lampard with the task of saving the promoted club from relegation

Well he gotta start somewhere lower especially after he ruined the whole Chelsea's squad. I actually had some wild imagination on Lampard to take over Ole's job somehow lol. Pretty sure that its not going to happen but its just my wild imagination because I cant seems to find a proper potential coach to take over Ole's job

%27 shares of West Ham United sold to Czech businessman, I wonder if it will affect club much. West Ham United is going really good already this season, if that boost the club's finance positive we may see them competing in Champions League next year.

Thats only if they manage to keep on staying at the top four spot until the end of the season. At this rate, it might happen because they are pretty good nowadays. Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool are pretty much considered to book their spot at top four this season ( personal opinion though because all these teams are pretty consistent so far ). Aside from these three, we still have Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal that have the potential to take the top four spot by the end of this season

We just completed 11 rounds in English Premier League which is mean we have another 27 rounds and 81 points even Norwich is not good but if Lampard accepted this challenge this can change his fortunes like Moyes because West Ham were also in bad shape, but he changes things now they are very strong even good competitor for having spot in next year's Champions League.

For Norwich even going high is not sure but if they are able to stay here in Premier League for next one season is also very good end for both Lampard and team because he is also some experienced and can do some better things with team like Norwich so for me, he needs to accept this challenge for having very good career in top flight clubs around Europe.

For Manchester United, Tottenham and also Arsenal can reach a point in the 4th seat with their current style of play. They have to face West Ham with all their tactics on the field and also shift them at the end of the season this year. I think it could be a possibility if all three clubs show a change in their game, especially as Manchester United are less and less emphasizing the quality of their star players when playing. Just too stiff and their movement closed so easy to read.

[bitLeap]

The league still has a long way to go and Man United could have made the breakthrough faster before it was really too late and had no place in the standings this time around. I certainly agree that Manchester United need to change their appearance. It started with replacing Ole and trying a game that actually no longer needed to buy players because what Man United needed was a breakthrough coach.

Manchester United fall behind competitors for the title but they also fall deeply enough to see Arsenal stands above them. It is unbelievable when the season kicked off because Arsenal was in bad crisis with Arteta last 2 seasons. Nobody believe that they can have higher ranking than Manchester United. Especially can not imagine of that, because Manchester United just have a good transfer season with Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo.

The biggest failure is from Solskajer who can not manage the club too good as expected by the board and fans.

Of course there are Arsenal and Tottenham behind Man United who are ready to overtake without thinking again that the more Man United shows their decline it is clear that there will be no mercy for Arsenal to replace him. Just waiting for the results of the Manchester United Vs Watford match then followed on 21 November Arsenal against Liverpool which was quite heavy. It only takes points for Manchester United to stay in 4th position.

It's pretty bold to draw the composition of the leading three according to the results of the championship only on the basis of 11 rounds, when even the middle of the championship has not been reached and there are 8 more rounds before its onset. Let's not forget how hard Liverpool fought for the right to play in the Champions League at the end of the season in the last Premier League draw. Everything can still happen and some team can start losing points hard, and the other team, on the contrary, can give out a winning streak. Therefore, it is more correct to name a group of five or six clubs that will surely claim the title of the winner of the Premier League. I think that Manchester United with its squad is quite capable of climbing even higher in the standings in the near future.

I appreciate Arsenal can be top 5 on the table now. While Man United showed bad performance, Arsenal did a great job in the last 5 matches. I think Arsenal has found a good strategy by putting combo Aubameyang and Lacazette on the front line. Man United needs to evaluate their strategy like Arsenal did, if they still want to compete with other teams. I think Man United has a chance to come back again to top 5, don't worry!!

[Pulsar77]

There are just superb games ahead on the coming game weekend and Liverpool - Arsenal is one of them. It can be a very pleasant game as Arsenal have made a very big rise in the standings. This has really shocked me to be honest. Because we are talking about the same Arsenal.    The one that started horrible and were destroyed by their competitors one by one. But now, we see a completely different team. And this makes me think like they can make the game against Liverpool much more watchable as it won't be a one-sided one. Or maybe, I will be wrong and Liverpool will still end them. No matter what, my favourite is Liverpool in this.

Ronaldo he is an important role at an age that is not old anymore can only respect in his role so with a few seasons remaining it is possible that Ronaldo can retire from Man United.

But by the way, will Ronaldo become a coach later?

Ronaldo has a very high passion for football. Whether as captain or not, Ronaldo always motivates his teammates, and even when he's not playing, he often cheers his teammates from the sidelines. If we look at his figure like that, actually Ronaldo is very suitable if he later becomes a coach.

However, Ronaldo is also a megastar with all his wealth. So it's also possible that he won't be a coach because he's able to build a club and act behind the scenes as its owner. Or it could be that he will leave football and pursue his career as a celebrity or become a businessman.

Your comment is contradicting it's in so many ways.
First you said Ronaldo has very high passion for football, then you went further to say that he could  leave football. How can someone that has very high passion for something still leave.
Ok, let's assume he will leave football, you also said he may leave football and pursue his career as a celebrity. When has celebrity become Ronaldo's career instead of football. The whole thing is confusing me.

However, what I am confident of is that Ronaldo cannot leave the world of football for any other thing. He would want to make history till football is renamed as Ronaldo.

That's right man. Arsenal's pace is extraordinary, the crushing defeat of Man City has been a tremendous boost to date.
Liverpool vs Arsenal fixture This week is one of the interesting matches because Liverpool are unbeaten at home, and have only lost once recently.
and whether the loss to west ham last week became their motivation this week.

This match will not be interesting. Maybe Arsenal is in the stable form now. However, they will not be able to ressist a strong attacking lineup like Liverpool. Liverpool is a very strong team. Arsenal's game is stable. They play a lot of defensive and win or draw. They have scored 13 goals in 11 matches and conceded 13 goals. I don't think such a squad will win against a strong team.

Let's wait till the international break is over, I still believe Manchester united can still bounce back just like arsenal did. Ole still has the chance to prove his management skill just like Areta did for arsenal. Manchester has all it takes to climb up the table all they need at this point is just a good strategy

No one knows the future, and no one knows Ronaldo's thoughts (except himself). What I mentioned earlier are just the possibilities that can happen. Only time will tell whether he will really stay on the football path or he will do something else.

If the new owner did not change anything that is possible west ham still be on track. Only 1/4 shares, they can't do anything with that. As you said, West ham Is on good performance, what do they want to change?. If possible buy another player for substitution is very good for the team. They were perfect in the EUFA Euro league, they must have focused in also, better to thinking to buy another player in winter windows transfer like Moyes requested.

About celebrities, let's see how David Beckham is now, despite being the richest person, celebrity and the many businesses he developed. But there is one thing that he cannot leave, yes that is the world of sports, especially football. That is very likely Ronaldo in the future, considering they have the same passion for football as you say. I personally don't really believe someone who had such a big influence in the world of football as a player then after retiring they would leave football 100%, that's something that seems unlikely to happen. Even though they have something else out there but they will always be involved in the world of football and even other sports, as long as it's in a positive circle then I don't think there's anything wrong with their choice in the future.
