Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

First game for Manchester United and Ronaldo is starting the game right from the bench speaks volumes about what the coach thinks about him! Of these lads perform wonders before he is introduced am sure this will affect how many appearances he will be having for this team.
Otherwise this should be a win for United and hope they do it convincingly!!
Prediction Manchester United 3-0 Brighton

It didn't matter that Ronaldo was on the bench for the first half, as he had just joined his friends at United's training camp. However, Ronaldo must be at his best if Erik ten Hag needs his energy, because only by scoring goals and giving United the win can the fans return the support and trust in Ronaldo.

I believe the full points belong to Manchester United today.

Brighton is a weak team. But Manchester United's performance is completely unstable. So today I did not take the risk of betting on Manchester United's victory. Ten Hag did not keep Ronaldo in the starting 11. This is a good decision. Ronaldo's age is about 38. Although his fitness is good, it is difficult for him to be on the field for 90 minutes at this age. If Ronaldo comes on after the first half, he can play better.

I'd say you've made a wise decision by not betting on United's victory. Manchets United fell behind 1-0 in the 30th minute of the match. And in 35 minutes, Brighton made a total of 9 shots, while Manchester United made only 3. United's performance is very poor. And now the match prediction on Google is that Brighton has a 45% chance to win and United has only a 27% chance to win. I am not saying that Google's prediction will be correct. But Manslots United's performance is very poor if we compare it with Brighton.

Erik ten Hag made a decision by leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and playing Cristian Eriksen as a striker.
What is it? Is this an Erik ten Hag experiment that will succeed in giving Manchester United victory?
The game has been running for 20 minutes. Position is still ahead of Brighton 70% vs 30%. The tempo of the game is still quite impressive.

AFAIK this is the aftermath of Ronaldo who did leave before the game ended in pre-season against Rayo some time ago.
But so far it seems that Ten Hag's formation and scheme are not living up to their expectations. Now they are 1 goal behind as Brighton managed to score in the 30th minute on the other hand not many chances have they created even with superior possession they have had very few chances so far.

I agree you can't compare Liverpool to West ham, Liverpool are the closest team to Manchester city but that doesn't mean that  west ham can't win against Manchester city, the league is so competitive you can underestimate any team, take a look at what happened to Liverpool on Saturday for instance, no one except Fulham to get a draw but they nearly won Liverpool and we know West ham are a fat better team than Fulham, another interesting thing about this city game against the hammers is how haaland is going to fair against Zouma,Ogboana,diop.

they are not balanced that's what I mean, and manchester city is more superior in this match. It's not good to underestimate his opponent in this match but I'm sure Pep Guardiola will give Manchester City the first win. The EPL is always full of surprises so it's not too surprising that in the match Manchester City will get strong resistance from West Ham.

Just turned on the computer to see how football is doing. And there I see to my enormous surprise that Manchester United are behind at home with 0-2?! What a crappy start this is too. They are almost done with the first half, so everything is still possible, but this is not a pleasant start. I think United can still win this game 3-2 but if the opponent is able to make it 0-3 quickly then United will be depressed and things will not work out. Is to see what the English press will write about ten Hag if they lose at home to Brighton.

[naira]

It looks like Man United was not given a chance to score a single goal. Brighton really complicates every move that is built. Erik ten Hag has not been fully able to control the players as ideal as expected. I don't know what if the second half later Man United can't turn things around. Ronaldo will be deployed and should be able to turn things around.

The steps taken by Ten Hag in the first match played by Manchester United this season invited many questions, he chose to install Eriksen instead of Ronaldo as a lone striker, even though Ronaldo was in a fit condition and ready to play. Many suspected that Ten Hag's decision to rest Ronaldo was due to his undisciplined attitude, but Ten Hag's decision was considered the right one to have a deterrent effect on players, undisciplined players need to be punished so that they can be a lesson for other players.

The first half was almost over, while Manchester United trailed 0-2 through a goal scored by Pascal Gross. Ten Hag needed to make changes in the second half, because throughout the first half Manchester United almost did nothing.

Man United did get a pretty good result in the Pre-Season, but against Brighton in the Premier League, their performance still looks like last season, where their defense is still a weak point and their midfield lacks creativity. It's as if the inclusion of Ten Hag and the players he's contracted doesn't make any significant changes. The game isn't over yet, and Man United still has a chance, but they have to work hard to make it happen.

manchester needs ronaldo. why erik ten hag didn't play ronaldo from the first minute. even though from the start he really wanted to keep Ronaldo for this season but in reality Ronaldo had to sit on the bench and watch Manchester United being beaten 2-0 in the first half. I don't believe Manchester United can turn things around in this second half if Ronaldo is not played in this match.

[Jody.Drummer]

2 goals are very difficult for them to equalize or even reverse. But they are not completely over because there are still 45 minutes to the second.
But I didn't enjoy the games they played in pre-season. Really a difference I feel here. Apart from that, Brighton have a very impenetrable defense and their attacks are effective.

I sincerely did not see any difference between the Manchester united of last season and Manchester United of this season. Same players and same ideology of the players. The coach might be different but I tell you the Erik of a man has not been able to bend the club as he wants presently. The team still has the likes of Maguire, Mc Tommy,  Fred yet they want to play nice football. They need magic to do that. All England clubs are prepared, if Manchester united continue this way, they will lead the journey to relegation.

I can understand why Erik ten Hag kept Ronaldo on the bench, what Ronaldo did when facing Rayo by leave before the game was over was indeed
a bad act. But I was surprised by Ten Hag's experiment with Eriksen as a striker, and it didn't seem to work as expected. Moreover, returning to
Maguire as a starter is a big mistake, it is proven that now Man United are two goals behind by Brighton. Looks like Ten Hag should immediately
enter Ronaldo in the second half, because making Eriksen play in the striker position makes Man United not take many kicks. Although Man United
dominated the match, Brighton took more shots. At least Man United must make the match end in a draw, because if they lose against Brighton at home,
this will make the confidence of Man United players even worse.

Missing two goals is difficult while Manchester United must be able to make changes in the second half to change the score because I don't believe it will be a win.
Ronaldo is on the bench, I think this has a little bit of an influence why Eriksen why being a center striker should be Ronaldo's position in the first half and Ten Hag only played in the second half for Ronaldo, but even though Manchester United controlled the game they were not able to kick on goal Brighton more because for me the striker is less aggressive.

That's really bad. Eriksen can do nothing for MU. Brighton is too strong for MU. Brighton may add more goal in the second round. It seems like MU will be loosing in this game. Ten hag may think again to let ronaldo play in the team. Eriksen didn't give a lot of contribution.
It shows how bad experiment that already made by ten hag. Eriksen's debut was also very bad as well? Possible 4-0? Let's see

Brighton played pretty neatly at the back. they don't have much possession of the ball but the attack they build is very good.
Man United looks in a hurry to make a goal. yes, they did need to equalize soon but their possession and attacking arrangement was always broken by the Brighton defense. in the first half Man United didn't make many shots, they had to find a solution for this soon.

I could see United possibly getting the equalizer if they could get they're act together.  But yeah, it looks like we're all seeing the same problems as before.  Gaps in their formation when they don't have the ball, players seem all over the place, no communication between players.  They suck.

What Ten Hag do now is let the 'unwanted one' on the pitch...  Get Ronaldo in to make two goals.  

Edit:  Trofo, any plans to restart the thread and make it self moderated?

[hahay]

Somehow I'm pretty sure both Manchester will win in this opening match, actually if I think about it I will doubt it considering the opponent is not an easy team if I look at last season. I'm just optimistic that their positive trend in pre-season games will probably continue the same as Arsenal too, so yes I put both of them in a parlay bet. Regardless of the result, win or lose, at least I have hope for both of them to win the match in their first match because they have worked hard to build the team for this season.

[Rruchi man]

Erik ten Hag has not been fully able to control the players as ideal as expected.

If he didn't know the level of challenge he will have to face, The coach of Manchester United Erik has just gotten a clear introduction of what he has in front of him in the premier league where every team is looking to outplay the other. The midfield of Manchester United is looking absent in this game and the defenders have made several mistakes that Brighton has punished them for. Ronaldo was warming up before the second half, let's see if his introduction in the game will have any effect in the second 45mins.

Ronaldo second half will definitely be deployed to balance the strategy. Although I can't fully guarantee anything if you look at Brighton performance, which makes every line so closely guarded. Just look at the back and the middle that was deliberately installed by G Potter who knew that Manchester United had difficulty dealing with it. So far Erik Ten Hag will focus on reducing the position if possible. But unfortunately, I see a slim possibility.

[Woodie]

Am sorry to say this , but this left side for Brighton that has Maguire is the game plan for Brighton, and it's simple get the ball anywhere near Maguire and see the opportunities that present themselves and I thought this team would do better without CR7,unfortunately that's not going well...time for the big guns.

Inplay prediction United 3-2 Brighton

i think the experiment from ten haag didn't get a good enough result as it proved they lost 2-0 in the first half. I think Ten Hag should immediately field Christian Ronaldo on the edge to make a difference in the game. It's certainly not too late for Manchester United to improve their game in the first half.
