Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Probably because Chelsea had secured the deal with Potter to be the next manager. If only there wasnt anyone available and better than Tuchel then I doubt that he will be sacked. They probably think that Potter had the potential and he accepted the offer so yeah they sack him right on the spot after losing the game but its just brutal at some point

The appointment of Graham Potter as Chelsea new coach is none other than because he is considered capable of changing the position of players and being able to adjust the tactics he plays. apart from that we can see he is able to lead Brighton to perform better at the start of this season. No wonder the chelsea boss directly interacted with Potter in submitting an offer as the new coach of chelsea and he accepted without any pressure. I read in some news that was published in a number of media Tuchel dismissal because there was disharmony between Boehly and Tuchel so that it could have an impact on the dismissal decision.

It's a pity that all matches have been canceled all weekend. Just don't really understand why. Everyone wants to pay their respects to the late Queen, that's fine too, but why should you delete all matches? There are also other ways to show your respect at football matches, for example by having 1 minute of silence at the start of the match. There's more to that than shutting everything down. the EPL already has a very busy and tight schedule, which is now only going to become a bigger problem.

[RealMalatesta]

It looks like Graham potter will be the next target of sacking by Chelsea, if Graham potter can't quickly give a good performance for Chelsea then Graham potter must be prepared to be the victim of sudden dismissal. Because Chelsea basically don't want their team to keep losing and Chelsea can't appreciate a coach who has done a good job for the team so yeah, I'm not sure Graham potter will stay until his contract expires. Because from the information I got, Graham Potter has a 2-3 year contract, I believe that if Graham Potter still doesn't produce good results during that period, he will be fired. Get ready!

Even funny, I never even saw this coach. His achievements are also not many. The history of coaching is also quite minimal champion. Even for europe he doesn't seem to have enough experience. I thought Chelsea would buy Pochetino or Zidane for the next coach, but I was wrong. Hopefully this is not Chelsea's step back. This is because they buy coaches with minimal experience. This made everyone feel strange and doubtful.

Dude managed about 400+ games total which over half of them were on Ostersund but still it was managing and I believe that should be counting for something, then swansea and lately Brighton which is more than enough, hell they beat United to be fair, that should be something.

However, what Chelsea was looking for was an interim coach, just like how United got that guy last year after firing Ole, they were going to go with Erik, but they wanted someone in the middle, this is that guy and yes we are just in September right now but all good managers are taken, so by this summer I am %100 sure they will get someone better and it will look better too. They couldn't do proper transfers neither.

The premier league matches this weekend have already been postponed as a sign of mourning the death of the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. The decision to postpone the events was passed by the English government in a 12 day mourning week. I can't believe there won't be league games this weekend, this will be a boring weekend for me, I can feel it already.

The change of manager at the beginning of the season may have an adverse effect on Chelsea's performance this season. Chelsea have some internal problems and its obviously visible now in the team's performances from game to game, the dismissal of the previous coach Thomas Tuchel is also as a result of this problems. I hope Todd Boehly understands getting a  new manager will not bring immediate solutions to the problems and improve the team's performance immediately.

Chelsea problem is Majorly cause by the change of boards and pattern of signing. The era of the new owner is quite different from Abramovich as he changed everything concerning Chelsea. The blues have all the players needed but failing to scored and win games is one thing Thomas Tuchel encounter before he got sacked. That problem doesn't pause there, it's continue and the new boss, Graham Potter will be the one that would suffer it. He can still survive and take the new to another level, after all he did that with Brighton and now he would do it with Chelsea.

Yes I agree with you, Chelsea game has changed since the old owner was suspended

I had a gist with the man who came to paint my Father's house today, and it was all about how the game under Abramovic, the former Chelsea owner looked, compared to the current stats of the same club now. He had a kind of influence on the team and this made them outperform the opponents. The issue with the current team as obviously stated is the unsteady nature of their leadership. they are a very good side and with players who can deliver. Once they can conjure balance in the leadership the players and manager will get in form automatically. Now, former Brighton's team manager, which happens to be Chelsea's new manager, Graham Potter will have to show his worth by quickly adapting to the players and staff. I have no doubts in his ability because we have all come to know his former club, Brighton as a formidable team to look out for.

[Captain Corporate]

I agree that Potter is not a bad manager, but so wasn't Tuchel, anyone who thinks that Potter is a better manager than Potter would be kidding themselves. Could the team get better? Of course it can, but so it could have with Tuchel. However the ownership deal is real, that is a problem because in the long run if the ownership doesn't let the football people take care of the football stuff and put a good amount of money to be spent, then this team will get worse and worse. Abramovich spent so much money on Chelsea to make them better, on the other hand current guy didn't do that and this is the real cause why they do not have proper transfers and better roster and these bad results.

edit: by the way, I do not mean "not spend money" as in he didn't make any transfers, they did, they spent quite a lot in fact, spent like 200 million to make the team better, but the problem is they didn't get players that are superstars, and instead got players for way too high price, just to get them. He did transfers to show the fans he is doing something, if he spent this much money, he could have gotten so many more players that were better and would be amazing branding too. Look at the list now, 280 million spent, none of the names are globally known, worst transfer season by a team I have ever seen.

Arsenal were able to defeat Zurich yesterday in the Europa league group stage as young Marquinos scored in his first Arsenal debut and also gave an assist to prove his coach Mikel Arteta wrong.The 19 year old player gave an outstanding performance in his first debut for Arsenal and broke down in years as he scored for Arsenal.With what I saw last night,the player will really be one that Arsenal will be proud of in the future,just like Martinelli,he is energetic,pacy and good at dribbling.This was really a bargain buy for Arsenal,signing him for just 2 million Euros.

[boris singer]

Their differences are actually quite far from anything, on the other hand when looking at Everton's current performance even from last season they are actually not in good condition so this will obviously benefit Arsenal.
I think after the defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal should now realize that their condition is not good enough in defense so they have to improve on that.

Despite losing badly to Manchester United a few days ago, then let's see how Arsenal's performance today against Zurich. Arsenal seems to have no trouble winning their first game in Group A of the Europa League today given the quality of Arsenal's players. I think Arsenal are favorites to lead the group, but let's see.

If Arsenal can win today's match easily then I'm sure they will be very motivated to beat Everton for the Premier League game this weekend. Everton haven't won a match yet, so it shouldn't be a big deal for Arsenal to beat them.

In terms of quality against Zurich they won by a landslide and it is very natural that they won. But in this case they also can't completely ignore their defense line which still has gaps there. Even if the comparison against Everton is now quite big but still when they are not focused in defense Everton can threaten.

I don't think this will be a real problem because Epl players are used to play without rest and i think postponed the matches is more than necessary in such conditions and i Don this will have bad effect for the players

[Pokapoka124]

The possibility is definitely there and indeed I still feel it will be more difficult if there is a storm of injuries.
Their front line is still not tidy at the moment and Jota is also still in the healing phase so it is still difficult for them now.
But on the other hand this should not be an excuse for them now because their players are still mostly the same there are only a few changes and additions.

I guess that they are playing worse than they really are, that is the problem. People are finding the trouble with Liverpools roster, but the problem is not the roster but how they play. Look at Van Dijk, that dude was the best defender in the world for a while and now he plays like he doesn't even want to defend, and look at Salah, at a tiny moment in history, he was the best player in the world, he was overrated if you ask me but he played amazingly, now he does nothing. Just losing Mane can't make them this bad, he wasn't the real reason why they were good, of course he was great but not this much. They will recover and be better again if you ask me.

In this case, I think Klopp should give more direction to T. Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson who work at left and right back.
They help attack which is very good but on the other hand they also have to pay attention not to be too focused there because indeed if they are too focused on attack it is clear that this is something that happens over and over again because Van Dijk, Gomez and Fabinho clearly will not be able to provide the best defense when they play. Liverpool's left and right backs are up front.
Some Liverpool goals occurred because the defenders were in front and were late to return to position so that the opposing players were free to make goals.

The weaknesses in Klopp's strategies have been exploited this season, they have conceded more goals already this season than they conceded in the 6th round of the league last season which to me is not so good to start the season. It will good for Klopp if he can find the balance of the team and improve those weak spots and get back to winning.

But are you aware that Arsenal actually struggled to win that match?
Although Arsenal performed well overall, their creativity and goal stats in that match were not very good. They had 8 shots on goal, but only two goals were scored. I don't know what the problem is, but maybe it's about a bad finish.

PSV Eindhoven is Arsenal's next opponent. I'm not sure about PSV, but they also didn't lose their last game where a draw was fair for both teams. Arsenal will likely win again especially since they will be playing at home.

The premier league matches this weekend have already been postponed as a sign of mourning the death of the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. The decision to postpone the events was passed by the English government in a 12 day mourning week. I can't believe there won't be league games this weekend, this will be a boring weekend for me, I can feel it already.

I am also feeling boring as I was reading in an official statement most chances we are going to have two weeks without any soccer match in England as they are going to for 12 days mourning and with this they are going to postpone two weeks matches which is surely not good idea but no one can do anything as this is surely all announced by Government which feeling sad for this great Queen which rule this country for more than 70 years which is longest by any English monarch in this modern era.

Hopefully now this period is going to be beneficial for few teams like Chelsea which just sacked their coach Tuchel and have new coach and good for Arsenal as well which lost their first match against Manchester United now they can be prepared for next match and can do better performance.

I really hope Chelsea have got this one right this time. Cause I don't see the decision to part ways with Tuchel and replacing him with Graham Potter who has barely made a name for himself. What happened to the likes of Zidane and Pochettino? Tuchels is a good coach and I feel he deserved a second chance which in my opinion he was not given. I believe in Tuchel and what he can achieve for the club.

Yeah I read that news and I think it is an expected one. The whole nation is mourning the Queen and you find others two days later having fun at stadium isn't an appropriated thing. We will miss good games indeed especially City - Spurs match unfortunately.

[lalabotax]

Liverpool players must forget the match against Napoli. They are focusing on a home match against Wolves. Liverpool never got a defeat at home, but they got 2 draws in the first 2 matches. For this match, I am optimistic that Liverpool will win it and get 3 points. They must realize their current position on EPL standings. If they miss 3 points in this match, they are getting further from the UCL zone, top 4. Klopp will push the players to play more aggressively to earn full points.

You are right, so far Liverpool have only won in 2 matches and they are still unable to compete with Brighton and Tottenham
Liverpool have wasting a lot of time, if they want to still compete then Liverpool must be consistent with 3 points
If you check the Liverpool match schedule you will see 4 difficult matches already waiting.

Indeed, moreover, their point was also very small different with Brentford, once they are failed again to win, they maybe overtaken by the team. Premier league is a leage where the competition is very tight, sometimes, a superior team has dropped their performance and then surprised with some other common clubs that always play ery well in every match. There is nothing you can do but always do your best in every match, optimize your performance, and also take every opportunity to win in order to always get maximum points.
In the next match, Liverpool shouldn't have a big problem against Wolves, they should be able to get a maximum of 3 points, but then again sometimes the performance on the field when playing is really beyond prediction.

It's a pity that all matches have been canceled all weekend. Just don't really understand why. Everyone wants to pay their respects to the late Queen, that's fine too, but why should you delete all matches?

In my opinion, there is no problem in the matches postponed, they are postponed, not deleted, because of the unpredictable condition happened in the country. We can deny that Queen Elizabeth II is the most influencing person in the country, she is the Queen, their queen is passed away, all everyone is mourning and focused on this incident.
It could be any way you think, but it's okay to hold off for a while out of respect for the queen because the time is so closed. You don't know how they are right now, how the country is grieving right now and what they are preparing and doing for the queen's death.

You are not alone, my weekend schedule usually comprises of the premier League as an important part of it. They should have added extra 6 minutes each to every premier League game this weekend to mark the 96yrs that she died instead, rather than postponing all the games. No premier league action, the next action to look forward to is the UCL in anticipation of the EPL to return in full momentum.

[baeva]

Just in the defense and there were mistakes, I think it was not necessary to change the formation for the game, because it is not about the players, in the defense were very good players. In principle, this match for Liverpool probably will not solve anything, they have another 5 games, I think they quietly make the playoffs

Liverpool kept a pretty high line in hopes to be able to attack more but instead left a lot of gaps that lead Napoli to take advantage of their quick wingers and forwards. On top of that, the defenders and GL were looking comfortable playing that way, which led to a few silly mistakes. A very bad day int he office for Liverpool players and coach.

It's hard to argue, I do not know how they even finished the second half after conceding 4 goals in the first, the score was a smash. It's good that there were no goals in their goal in the second half, maybe during the break the coach changed something in tactics and it worked (although it worked too late, it's very difficult to score so many goals).

I'm really shocked about the sudden news of tuchels replacement, I never saw this coming, I expected them to give him sometimes if he can fix things. I was not happy about the sudden replacement, and I think the new owners are very strict than abramovic they only want a perfect Job, but it was wrong treating tuchel in such way. Talking about his replacement I don't think Graham Potter's is certified for the replacement, cause he's a coach with a low profile. I think alot of us expected pochettino or zidane, but we can't jump into conclusions, he might be the right man for the job.

[Piesel]

 premiere league games postponement is because premiere league is an England tournament and the death of the Queen has to be mourned all over England so we have to wait till the next two weeks before resuming back to the premier league.

At least this period will give clubs the chance to make adequate adjustments and possible replacements with enough training time, before the resumption of the league.

that's not a problem for me as UK was losing its queen. No doubt if UK's government was also passing it to delay EPL for a few days to give a huge respect to the queen that already passed. This week will not be so boring for you. you can still watch another competition in another country. They were not getting delaying like any competition in english. I meant we can still watch la liga and serie a. It was not so boring as you said that above.
