Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

I am laughing with second position vote how come Manchester United have second place and what the feature vote for Manchester United can win primer league trophy, I think Manchester United right now like dreaming can get primer league trophy although have Ronaldo in composition player in this season, but they not consistent on every match and now have out from top four position on fixture standing.

In terms of the total cost of the squad, United is in second place in the league (after City) and it is quite logical that with such a squad they should show a better game than they do now and claim more. Another thing is that most likely United's problem is in the coach who cannot fully reveal the team's potential, but everyone hopes that sooner or later the team will be strengthened in this position.

if it is compared to united now is a lamborghini car which is already very good and sophisticated in terms of the engine, but they are driven by drivers who do not have a license and of course what happens it is certain that the car will be destroyed in an accident.
and things like this happen at United because it should be with an extraordinary squad with players who can't be underestimated is very inversely proportional to a coach who is poor tactics and can't develop his potential.
on the other hand I still don't understand the attitude of the management who still allow things like this even though in terms of fans and players they are starting to feel uncomfortable with this

Daniel Farke, who was sacked after the first win of the season, will be succeeded at norwich city by Dean Smith, who has been suspended by aston villa, according to english media reports.
former chelsea player and coach Frank Lampard had also been linked with the pl last-place team, but then turned down the canaries.

Too bad for Frank Lampard to turn down Norwich, could that be a result of low offers ?
He was close to agreement,what would have caused a turn around in his decision ?
It's good news for Norwich,they would do better under Dean Smith,I think the players at Aston Villa at too high for him to manage.

Lampard's talks with the club broke down yesterday for an unknown reason, but it was clear that he was not interested in or convinced by the club's project. It's possible that Norwich's relegation is unavoidable at this point, and Lampard wouldn't want to manage a relegation team given his high profile. This was an excellent decision. They're now in talks with Dean Smith, and things are going nicely.

Ole is also retained because of the considerations that have the management of Manchester United.  It looks like it, at this time it seems the management does not have a high ambition for their club.  Unlike Tottenham who immediately sacked their coach and immediately replaced him with Conte.  It's clear they want to chase points in this league, and it's well deserved for them to fight for a trophy that's yet to be won.

I don't think that's why the manchester united management still installs fate in Ole, they had done this scene of trust and distrust on management, and they one they had on Sir Alex ferguson maybe an explanation in the case of Ole, although I think ole's life line as Manchester United coach isn't Long anymore, but after I think the Fan's are exhibiting football hooliganism and lack of true fans solidarity, Arsenal could have sacked Mikel Arteta and probably employed someone but the fate in Arteta was a good one.

I really hope Newcastle United should give Lampard a coaching position instead of Eddie Howe, but there is no issue at all about Newcastle United's interest in Lampard could be one of the options why Newcastle prefer Eddi Howe as coach. Norwich City is not a good club for Lampard, let alone being at the bottom of the standings, of course it is very difficult to achieve good results.

Dean Smith managing Norwich wouldn't change anything in my opinion. Still yeah he can do better than their previous manager Daniel Farke and right now board will be happy if they get someone who can get Norwich out of relegation zone and keep it safe till the end. However next season it will be different and likely that Dean Smith will be out again then.

Eddie Howe is a good candidate because he has been in the league for a longer time and has more management experience than Lampard. Now it's up to Newcastle to sign the cheque and support the coach. If they want to compete with the best teams in the world, they'll have to spend to get good players, because having a good coach isn't a guarantee of success.

This is football, and anything can happen; Norwich is mathematically not relegated yet, and if the right mindset and good players are brought in in January, it's very possible that they will turn things around. Speaking of Daniel Farke, he did a good job at Norwich; he took them to the championship, won it, and brought them to the Premier League twice; however, things don't always work out for them in the league; it's unfortunate, but he did his best for them.

It's difficult for Norwich who are moving away from the relegation zone I think other coaches will avoid including Lampard who doesn't want to manage a club that is currently on relegation so no matter how good the manager is to get him out of this zone there must be those who are there and those who are willing.
I think as long as Norwich can improve and the manager can change this it can definitely be done considering there is still a long time to the end of this season it will still be difficult in the EPL to struggle with other teams.

Management fully trusted with Ole although four year without any trophies and I think need revolution for Manchester United how to bring back Sir Alex Ferguson era. I think they need new coach where manage all player and make consistent on every match, now Manchester United faced problem on primer league with not consistent and many time loss chance with getting three points.

Many Manchester United fans and pundits have questioned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's desire to play Fred, with the Brazilian putting in several below-par performances of late.

Manchester United still believe in Ole, the only fault is that Ole trusts Fred too much

if Ole tried a new strategy and didn't play Fred then surely the end result would be different. hope Ole hears the fans' complaints and does that when they play Watford

Manchester United doesn't believe in Ole,how do you know that ?
What are your reasons for saying that ?
A loss against Watford will get him sacked.
Manchester United needs an offensive and aggressive midfielder not Fred and must be tall,rice would have been perfect but seems they handed the captain arm band to tie him down to the club.

[Altryist]

It's a strong one to take in but, this is evidently the truth about Manchester United and Ole. I mean, what's the point in holding on to such a coach! Do they really expect him to improve because, I don't don't see that happening and the leagues are gradually pushing for a more competitive stage. Perhaps January before the sack latter comes out bit, having a coach with such squad and don't have any hope of a trophy about him or even a top four spot in the local league counts for nothing. It's It's total waste of time and resources so, Manchester United board should really look into this.

Manchester United spent all their money on Ronaldo and they don't have any money left for a good coach  (I'm kidding). I don't know the reasons, but they certainly could have fired Solskjaer a long time ago if they wanted to. Perhaps they are waiting for the same miracle, as happened in Arsenal with Arteta. And perhaps they simply cannot decide on a new coach, they choose thoroughly, the best option, it is difficult to figure out who it might be.

Fred or Maguire? I think the two of them do become quite problematic when faced with a counterattack. Mistakes come in the way they open the gap.

Regardless of the player's mistakes for me Ole is still Ole who is not qualified at all and remains an unsuitable coach.

[arallmuus]

Regardless of the player's mistakes for me Ole is still Ole who is not qualified at all and remains an unsuitable coach.

Pretty sure that he is qualified to do the job. In case you dont know, Manchester United was 2nd last season. Yeah they didnt win the EPL but it was 2nd and it was good enough and he had almost the same players as last season. Maguire was pretty bad even in last season but the reason why Ole kept playing him is probably because he is the captain

As for Fred, he is decent but the whole EPL league is just keep on getting tougher each season so some improvement need to be made including subbing Fred with another player that might fit in with the new play style

So keep Ole hoping in reference to last season? and finally the Manchester United manager didn't live up to their expectations at all but kept their hopes up for last season?

Biak let's see if this season can reach second place until the end of this year? Otherwise, it's clear that Ole is already incompetent.

Ole has a nice management skill but currently he is confused on what lineup to use and what formation to play with his current squad I just feel the present Manchester united squad is too complex for ole to analyze so he can choose a perfect game plan. What is best Is his quiet resignation

Too bad his management skills isn't effectively carried out as planned.
Quiet resignation will be embarrassing for a club legend like him,he feels he is still the right man for the job.
The board will be taken decisions soon.

[Pulsar77]

Manchester City are going to play a home game against Everton. And Everton are in one of their worst shapes ever in the recent times. They had two draws and lost three times considering their last five league games. Everton actually had a decent start to this season but things have changed for them in a short time. There is an obvious decrease in their performance. And Manchester City should be able to benefit from the weakness of their opponent easily. In Etihad, I expect an easy victory for Manchester City. They should be winning by two goals at least.

Just because he's a legend then it's as if the game is still the same as he was when he played? Implementing the main and conventional center games which are currently no longer effective. That's why Ole management continues to be bad match after match. After all, there is nothing else that can be changed for Manchester United, let it be until the next transfer window pulls Ole out of Manchester United.

The league is wide open, and the relegation battle has yet to begin, but Norwich must try to avoid what happened to Sheffield United last season, when they were relegated in mid-January after losing their first 20 games. However, looking at the Norwich side, the story is different; they've won a couple of games, and Smith can still turn things around.

For sure, Ole tried last season to get Man Utd in top spot (#2) despite the fact that they didn't start well. I remember they improved halfway through the season and even were top of the table at some point. This season, Ole has seen a couple faults in his team but has done very little to resolve this issues? Liverpool exposed most of these issues in the open and he didn't fix them and Man city exploited them once again last week.  If Fred is bringing team backwards, best thing to do is to replace him. Good players like Van de beek available for selection are chilling on the bench.

[mv1986]

There is no doubt you are correct about that, but for that to happen it doesn't only need a VERY strong Manchester United, but also a weak Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool. That is where I think it is not very likely. Chelsea will play a good season, I am very sure about that. And Manchester City is just such a strong team that I don't think MU will end the season in front of them. Of course, there is no guarantee and MU could theoretically make it, but everyone would be surprised if that actually happens.

Yeah it is very unlikely to happen now that you have pointed that out. Guess United closing in with them is the best thing that could happen but seriously United to improve a lot. Even with Bruno Fernandes who proved to be saviour of the team when team was having tough time last season is not performing very well and so are others as well. United have an easy fixture coming up and will hope not to drop points there too.

I can see the points people are trying to make here, but out of the last 5 games Manchester won, lost 3, and 1 draw. All that while rank 1 lost none, rank 2 lost 1, rank 3 lost 1, rank 4 lost 1, rank 5 lost 1 and then comes Manchester. All these teams ahead of Manchester need to perform worse while Manchester needs to perform better, much better! Erm, yeah...

Next game is against Watford and then Chelsea. If Manchester wins both of them, I will change my mind a little bit!
