Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[KTChampions]

Given that United is very unstable, it is difficult to expect a one-sided match against any team. Wolverhampton is a pretty solid team, and their defense is now second in the league - they conceded only 14 goals. It will be interesting to see if United can handle such a defense. Nevertheless, bookmakers rate United's odds very high:
‍
1,54 - 4,30 - 6,40

It's true that Man Utd doesn't inspire any serious confidence and as you rightly said, is very unstable. Still, the Man Utd attack is good and they have shown signs of improvement while Wolves can't score. Indeed they have the second-best defense but they also have the second-worst attack in the league. So, even if I agree that Man Utd can't be "trusted", I believe that today will manage to take the win and the three points.

United keeps killing me. I no longer expect anything from them and do not place bets, but United's results still upset me.  It looks like we are back where we started, and we have to admit that the change of coach did not change anything.
Congratulations to the Wolves - their defense is doing great again and they won on Old Trafford for the first time in 42 (!!!) years.

That's right mate this is really frustrating. on the one hand they show progress and on the other hand they are disappointing, it is difficult to predict their pace even though this is actually a challenge in gambling. I'm also a little doubtful if I place a bet on MU and prefer chose a team that has at least a chance rather than having to guess something that is difficult to guess.
I think your bet was right just out of luck.

Manchester United really disappointed me last night. They could have won against Wolves if they were able to play much better than that. But they were not even effective in offense. It was looking like that they wouldn't be able to keep the score to the end either. Because Wolves were playing really strongly and trying their best to get ahead and be victorious. This was their best chance against Manchester United in the end. And Moutinho's great shot to the corner ended up with a goal. And they won by 1-0. Manchester United got a very critical chance with Bruno Fernandes before this goal actually. But his shot bounced off the goal post. If it ended up with a goal, then things could have been completely different than this.

Manchester United was not a team yesterday against Wolves, they were just poor all around. It just not coming together at all. Wolves had a more experienced composed ball playing midfield pair in Moutinho and Reuben Neves. They made the defenders relaxed and were always around the ball playing areas to reduce tension. Scott Mctominay and Matic were just not working because they were trying to press high and distribute the ball quickly in the Gengen-pressing and I hate to say this even up front didn’t help at all. Wolves deserved that win. They were good and if they actually had a proper goal scorer they would be much higher in table. Manchester united just not aggressive and focus enough. It will be hard to fight for champion league spot this season.

You see the Manchester united midfield can never and will never win them trophies.
One can talk and boast of their attack but you see that midfield ? Never i repeat, they're all joker's.
Like Manchester united is over paying those boys,how do you expect thel to win games. ?
Take a good look at Rashford,Lingard, Paul Pogba, receiving big pays but not consistent and playing up to standard.

Manchester United's management may have brought in a lot of star players, but the coach has not been able to build a bond between these players. Moreover, Ronaldo is not friendly. He has a tendency to score goals alone. Such a tendency must be avoided while playing in a team. Efforts should be made to play well as a team. They should learn from Atlanta's. Despite having fewer star players, their game is excellent.
United's every attack against the Wolves was very weak. Didn't see the expected performance from any of the forward and midfield players. As a team they are still weak.

Your even talking about UCL, that is completely ruled out for Manchester United, not with this kind of performance because, they just won't make it to the top 4 in the EPL. They've got a couple of games to play to meet up with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City for sure but, it ain't got any promises about it, given the fact that, they could still be consistent at there bad play.
Mean while, I think it's still okay for some teams not to have a proper goal scorer, it creates a sense of dependency and kind of moves the ball towards a specific direction, giving the opponents a target to always watch out for. Not having proper goal scorer kind of confers on the whole team, the task of delivering the goal at any point and that feels like a good thing.

Manchester uniteds nightmares continue has they have failed to collect all 3 points in consecutive games...and i believe the confusion is coming from the pressure of the January transfer rumors of several players believed to be leaving the club which has really destabilized the mood and motivation around the players. Because these guys arent sure who leaves and who stays winning is not on the cards for now.

Actually, that's not true. In their last five games (along with yesterday's one) they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Of course, this record doesn't represent the true Man Utd and is totally embarrassing for a team with such a big name.
As for the transfer rumors and how much that affects players' performance and psychology, is just a very old fashion excuse. They are professionals, they all have experience from transfer rumors regarding their future, and they are used to dealing with such things from the moment they start their career. They are not some hot talented youngsters/ prospects at 14-15 years of age that are excited or anxious and that disturbs their performance. The simple truth is that Man Utd needs a lot of work and of course, a proper manager to start building a team.

What i mean by having goal scorers is having players offensive players that contributes to scoring goals for the team. Wolves have only Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez, Hwang Hee-Chan, Daniel Podence and Fabio Silva as their primary offensive players. But they have only been relying on Raul Jimenez and Hwang Hee-Chan for a while now to get them these goals. Adama Traore has made 10 appearances, plus 7 as a sub. And has scored 0 goals and no assist. Also Fabio Silva, has played 0 matches plus 8 as a sub and has not scored any goal or even an assist. The midfield does not really contributes like that. That is while they barely win with more goal margin, they just play with the mindset of defending and try to get the goals as they come. Most of their goals have been from set-pieces.

I think in this situation the coach is not to be blamed.He can't do anything unless he is given new players as the problem of Manchester United are the players,they don't seem to be in harmony with each other.The game of yesterday emphasized this even further where Manchester United was not able to create dangerous attacks.In fact Wolves did play better and they fully deserved the victory but I too am upset for a team like Manchester United,I miss the times where they were a super power not only in Premier League but also in International competitions.

Take a good look at Rashford,Lingard, Paul Pogba, receiving big pays but not consistent and playing up to standard.

That's a bit of it, I have to agree. In yesterday's game, several Man United players missed simple passes all too often. In fact, it was because they missed so many passes that they didn't get a better result. This makes it difficult for them to go far.

I think some players are not well integrated into the squad and on the other hand I see the coach putting the team together in an unbalanced way. How is it that Bruno Fernandes only enters the last 20 minutes of the game? At the very least, he had to have entered the second part.

The wolves played very well! Congratulations to the whole team and to those who are betting on their victory.

Manchester United is again the target of public criticism and every defeat is always a public discussion everywhere, including in this forum, maybe everyone or fans miss the old Manchester United.
I think the problem is just a mismatch between the players and the coach which might make the team feel uncomfortable or less enthusiastic and that's just my prediction, and for the game against Wolves I think Wolves played really well and they deserved to win.
and but the coach plays a very important role during the game and must be able to read the opponent's play and change the game to score goals.

I also have the same thought. Man United's defense does look less solid, but it should be if Man United has a strong midfield or they have a great defensive midfielder, then the burden of their defensive line will be reduced. Likewise in terms of scoring goals. Man United has great players in attacking positions, but to be more optimal, support from the midfield is needed.

So I think what Man United needs right now is a tough midfielder, especially if they can get a player like Roy Keane.

Newcastle is getting close to Trippier - the 25mil pounds fee seems to have been accepted by Atletico. Both of Newcastle's rightbacks (Krafth and Manquillo) are Championship material but paying 25 mil pounds for a 31-year old isn't really the best piece of business.
Atletico paid less for him when they bought him from Spurs 2 years ago and he was aa lot better then than he is now.

Still - football-wise, he'll help Newcastle a lot.

Trippier will be the main squad player for Newcastle this year, but could possibly be an alternative after better signings next year. £25M is too much in my opinion, but they charge a high price because they know that Newcastle United has been bought by Prince Salman.

The chances of Manchester United losing look small, but you will have a big odds if you believe Wolves won today.
In recent match Manchester United managed to maximize their chances of winning the match and they have been finding good form ever since. I believe that Manchester United will be very likely to win, they will maintain their form to stay on the winning track.

But what I've said, comes true right? 2 times what I guess has been true but I dont have any money to bet for them. Really, If I can turn back time I can make a big deal for betting. Man United just full of hopeless, even their match with Wolves which everyone thought Wolves would be beaten easily then became a winner.

[borovichok]

Manchester United end last season well, when this season start Ole have prepared his players for the title by giving Edison cavani new contract and signing jadon Sachin and Varane then Manchester City was on the verge of signing Christiano Ronaldo then United lose their head and forget to strengthen other departments like a good defensive midfield and a right back to compete with wan bisakka, and go all out to get a player they don't really need, few months later Ronaldo makes Ole project stop because his ambitious is more than ole.i think Ronaldo kills the harmony in that squad.

Lol,,, you and I know better that prediction often comes easy when you haven't bet your money on it. I mean, it's always much easier to have a say and then stay the path to the end. Even on a running game that, your team happens to be on the loosing side. Eventually the come back comes and then you feel as though, you could have won the jackpot.
When your money could be at stake, its a whole different story because right then, there is something to loose.
I wouldn't trust Manchester united over any team with my money at this point, the team isn't just stable and in there games, just anything could be the outcome. Especially when they face a fairly coordinated team like Wolverhampton yesterday. Wolves which is known for giving top teams some bone to chew in a match.

I don't think it happened. many of the fans love the arrival of Ronaldo. This is great for team marketers.
but I also don't see this as a breakdown of the harmony that was built at Man United as you said.
30 goal in 19 games, I don't think it's a bad thing. and 8 goals created by Ronaldo. he's not the one working alone. but I think there is public discontent with Ole's performance in his tenure.

Right now newcastle is moving fast to bring in several players to strengthen their squad, I think Trippier is not the last player that newcastle will bring right now, because with a large amount of money newcastle will certainly continue to recruit some players to be able to keep them from the relegation zone, but which is quite surprising to me now, it seems that newcastle is more targeting players who are over the age of 29, I don't know what they think by trying to bring in some old age players?

Just getting to the top 5 is already very difficult, let alone reaching a trophy which is even more impossible. Where Manchester United can't really play to improve its performance. While they were with Carrick, they opened up quite a lot of opportunities. However, because a new coach is always considered unable to adjust the characteristics they have. To me, that's just an excuse. considering all are trying to reach the top. Only Man City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are spearheading the trophy.
