Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Tomohisa]

After getting a win against Liverpool, of course, the mentality of the Manchester United players improved drastically because after slumping in the first 2 matches they were actually able to win against a big Liverpool team.
and for the next game I think it is very possible Manchester United will get a positive result even though against Southampton it is not easy but for a team that has high confidence and also more quality players it is very possible for Manchester United to win this game.

Manchester united might have drawn motivation from their last match against Liverpool after a 2:1 win but the fact still remains Liverpool was the better team all through the match. Manchester hasn't built enough confidence for the season and secondly Southampton will be playing at home against United. If Hag must win this he needs to build a formidable defense and Midfield before the match

Most of the Manchester United fans are overexcited after this win even it's their right and win against team like Liverpool is surely special one for them but still they need to be calm down because we have to wait for some more weeks as can they now handle things with consistency because in last season they already have wins like this but fail to maintain this momentum and lost few matches frequently which hurt them badly.

Now with the few good playmakers are also coming in Manchester United and Ten Haq is also doing his best which is good for him and team but still we have to wait for development in this team if they play consistently then surely we can expect good results in coming matches otherwise still old story of inconsistency and poor results can ruin another season.

Well, Liverpool doesn't have a strong backup from Arab's money so can't blame them if Manchester United decided to step up their games, buying good players left and right. Yes, Manchester United also have strong pressure from the losing streak so they ought to do better especially against Liverpool which Manchester United know about Liverpool more.
For once, Liverpool can't take the blame here as they haven't had time to get used to this new Manchester United. At least, Liverpool now can make it back as they only had to meet Ajax, Napoli, and Rangers in Group A of the Champion League.

The path to the top of the championship title is difficult and long.Each team tries to get as close as possible to this, at least to prevent the others from doing it. As a result, those who consistently hold the bar of a good team get the cup. From the very beginning of the season, Manchester United lacks this stability, then they lose shamefully to not so formidable opponents, then they end the match against a strong team with a delightful victory. Manchester United throws from one extreme to another and by and large, one victory on the scale of the entire season of the Premier League means nothing, if we discard that it was Liverpool. First need to watch the next matches and how Manchester United will show itself, so that you can judge their form and readiness to show all their power. For now, the short-term euphoria needs to be quelled and not let this dizzy the Manchester United from success.

I don’t think Harry Maguire is leaving Manchester United to join Chelsea. He has been tagged untouchable by the management when Ten Hag came in. Remember he was also linked to Barcelona earlier in the summer transfer window, but the management didn’t allow that deal go through. I think Chelsea have a more reliable alternative in Adam Webster. Webster is a physical presence at 6ft 3in tall but is also adept at carrying the ball out from the back and breaking the lines. So incase Fofana's deal doesn’t go through, I see Chelsea going for Adam Webster instead of Maguire.

chelsea is currently enlivening the transfer market with the news of their desire at the end of the transfer market this season...

webster and fofana are still reluctant to be sold by their team, the chances of chelsea getting fofana are very small because leicester said they want to set a world record for the transfer of fofana if chelsea is interested. compared to Fofana, I think it's better for Chelsea to focus on chasing webster because reportedly the value is still cheaper than fofana and the performance is also quite good.

True that, it's Wesley Fofana or nobody for Chelsea
Maguire will have a role in the future with squad rotation.
He stands as Man United captain but will still be on the bench.

[CryptoPanda]

It is reported that Ronaldo is now threatened from his position after Man United made an offer to Antony, the Ajax player and is not half-hearted with a fairly large offer according to rumors of 80 million pounds.
Maybe Ronaldo will leave before the transfer window closes September 1, but indeed if Antony comes to Man United it will be Erik Ten Hag's main squad for his front line.

I think the arrival of Anthony will be able to make Manchester even better in the future, the two transfers made by Ten Hag namely Casimero and Martinez are ideal transfers and are believed to be able to strengthen their midfield and defense, so if Antony transfer materializes then it will make their attack line will also be dangerous, as a central striker, Antony is a typical player who has the speed and ingenuity in seeing the position to score goals so far.
If Manchester United managed to bring in Antony of course it would make Ronaldo happy, because all this time Ronaldo had wanted to leave Manchester United for a long time.

Having Ronaldo in the team makes the decision of making player selections for match days more difficult because even when he puts up an average performance you still have to play him because of who he is, tbh who will have a player like Ronaldo and keep him on the bench so its a problem for Ten Hag and it will only take courage as he did in the game against Liverpool to make that ruthless decisions like sitting Ronaldo on the bench. Hopefully Anthony will give them more options in their attack if they finally secure his signature.

Erik ten Hag was under fire after two dreadful performances in the first few weeks as the club's lack of transfer activity became a hot topic.

The resounding victory over Liverpool seemed to have lessened the pressure a little, but the Dutchman is still anxious for the team to bring in a few more players before the transfer window shuts.

Manchester United team still has many weaknesses. And Erik Ten Hag needs new talented players to stabilize his squad. Ronaldo is not playing well in the forward, so Ronaldo is not seen in the starting XI against Liverpool. Moreover, the United team's defense is quite weak. They conceded four goals against a team as weak as Brentford. So Ten Hag should try to get experienced defenders on the team.

Manchester United's management must put in more effort, given how difficult the Premier League has been this season. A team like Manchester United requires strong and reliable players with consistency who are willing to compete and fight for the title. Although they signed Casamiro from Real Madrid to strengthen their midfield, I am sure they need more signings to balance the team and compete this season.

They can make someone else the captain, not a biggie there. Ten Haag values the player on how much a player puts on the pitch and Maguire doesn't puts anything at all. Hope ten Haag continues with Varane and Martinez which seems like an ideal pair for central defence. Casemiro will also add and make the defence strong. I think Casemiro's transfer will give United the support in mid and defence that they actually wanted. Fred and McTominay are decent but not the kind United actually needs right now.

[Alanaz]

They can still bounce back because if you look at the current state of the league, it would be very funny if they gave up just because the results of the 3 matches they started were pretty bad.
I think it's too early to give up and this is not Liverpool. What they have to do is keep improving themselves because indeed they are already quite good in the game but their luck and their goal productivity are weak.

Of course I don't mean that Liverpool would give up. It is only the beginning of the season and there are many games to be played. However Klopp should act faster about finding the root of the current problem. In the Manchester United game, something attracted my attention.

After Mane's leaving the team Liverpool have been affected really badly on the front. They were struggling to find a player like Mane who liked to help the midfield and shape the attacks of the team. If Klopp doesn't create an alternative to this then Liverpool wouldn't still be comfortable about having a good form.

Klopp actually wanted to move quickly at the start of this season but indeed when playing games without some of his pillars it is clear it is very difficult to do.
For the front line they can actually replace Mane but when Jota is injured and the conditions are not as good as when Nunez is not there like last week's game it is clear it is very difficult for them.

Sharply said also they need either of Mac Tominay or Garner around
That's all for injury cases and depth, Tominay did good during Liverpool game did you obs ?
They both defending during training ahead of Liverpool match.
Ten Hag better stick's to a team he trusts and Varane Martinez has shown they are the pair for that team

In my estimation, one of the biggest mistakes Ronaldo made was in leaving Real Madrid for Juventus. And worst still, Juventus for  Manchester United. At least if he had stayed in Real Madrid, he would have won some titles. Or better still, if he had stay in Juventus, that would have still been ok because they manage to stay in the top 4 of the league and play champions league every year. But can you just imagine that Rockstar Cristiano Ronaldo at 37 is still amazing is begging with the club's to buy to play in the champions league. He seems stuck with Manchester United. I sometimes wonder if he ever have regrets about choosing Man United.

[Bhig Daddy]

I am a Chelsea fan, but to be sincere I'm not really convinced with the way my team have been playing from pre-season. I'm not seeing Chelsea in the title race, even making the top 4 will be a big deal for us this season because we barely create chances when we play. So let just sit back and watch how the season goes.

[RILWAN]

Clubs like Chelsea have being on a downward trend since the management crisis started during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that has pushed the former club owner to sell the club, so since then the performance of the club has not been the same as previous years back. This performance if not improved on will lead the club to a potential relegation zone.

You're too permissive. The season just got started, bro. Still saw a great chance for the Chelsea club to be in the top 4 if they did the early season players hunting well. What Chelsea needs right now is a midfielder that can be adaptive and creative to fill in as a defender, I think. De Jong is the best here since he's a versatile midfielder and suited for this position in Chelsea.

I heard Chelsea also wants to have Wesley Fofana, a defender. Chelsea made a third bid for Wesley Fofana for 70m, Leicester has rejected it btw. I'm glad that the transfer fell through. Chelsea should save their money to get De Jong and look for a cheaper defender, in my opinion.

in this season chelsea did not perform well. even since pre-season chelsea has been the subject of much discussion because of its poor performance. And what is more talked about is that Chelsea always fails in every player hunt. chelsea is like a stingy club. they have a lot of money but always dare not pay dearly. so many players they failed to bring.

even yesterday against Leeds , chelsea lost 3-0 . even chelsea got one red card. But it's still early in the season. sometimes a team can make a surprise in the middle of the season. And I hope Chelsea can bounce back and get back to their best.

Seeing the disappointing performances shown by Chelsea, I think Chelsea still have to improve their squad before the 2022 summer transfer window closes.
Tuchel clearly needs three new players from three different positions namely centre-back, midfielder and centre-forward who seem to be a weak point for Chelsea at the moment. Chelsea need a centre-back, midfielder and a striker who can score goals regularly.

I sometimes wonder if he ever have regrets about choosing Man United.

When we talk about "mistakes" that players make when it comes to transfer decisions, often times we don't have all background information available and also not to forget the personal desires or dreams of a player. If you were Ronaldo and dreamt of playing in Italy once in your lifetime, why would it be a mistake to leave Real Madrid? Ronaldo had enough money anyway and the fans of Juventus Turin loved him, at least in the beginning. You are open to make a new experience in a country you perhaps like. I can't see why that is by some supposed to be a mistake? If you look at things in a more differentiated way there might of course be pros and cons and it is also about preferences. Some players prefer to spend their whole career at one club, and some players would love to become a top scorer in all the European top leagues.

If you look at things the way you do, did Ibrahimovic make mistakes year after year over the course of his entire career? To me he seems to be happy with his decisions. I think he never won the Champions League and yet he seems to be satisfied with what he achieved as a soccer player and I must confer with his sentiment. If Liverpool wins the CL this season and Bayern doesn't, did Mané make a mistake? I wouldn't say so.

Now with Manchester United I think that Ronaldo is indeed stuck. I get his point that he doesn't want to play in the Europa League, but if he comes across the way he just recently did, even a player with his history will have problems to find a big new club who has a chance to win the CL.

This performance if not improved on will lead the club to a potential relegation zone.

Whilst i think Chelsea can definitely play better and that their performances do not match the lofty standards they have set in England, i think you are exaggerating things here to insinuate that Chelsea could potentially be in a relegation battle, if you are truly a football fan who follows the EPL and the CL as well as other football tournaments, you'd know that what you just said is impossible.

Having said that, Chelsea definitely have to improve so they could either challenge for the title or earn themselves a slot in the champions league next season, anything short of that would be a failed season, except of course if they can make up for it by winning the champions league itself this season. Imo, i think Chelsea are over their ownership problems, they have a new owner now, he has invested heavily into the club, so it should all be good now, and the players have to start doing well when they step out on the pitch to play.

Right now off the field many activities are on for Chelsea strength because right now performance is not good and coach Tuchel is also not happy he wants some more strength most chances we will have few good news before end of this transfer window because Auba is already linked and few more signings are under process, but they are not announces until they reach on any agreement with relative clubs and players.

If Chelsea is going to play like this then surely they are going to lose chance for staying at top because in this season we have tough competition from many clubs even few are already down, but they also can fight back, and we will watch one of the best season in English Premier League because now quality is improved and teams are doing good job for staying into good shape until end of this season.

I think this year is really hard for all teams. Everyone expected Liverpool at top and they are at the bottom so a lot of surprises are happening this season. But i think if the title race is close Chelsea will have a chance at the title they still have a good team this season

It will actually be even more difficult when expecting Chelsea to win the title because indeed for the last few seasons they have always struggled in that regard, on the other hand now they are at the beginning of the season experiencing several problems such as a major overhaul of the players and the ranks of the top brass there which made this happen. becomes even more difficult.
