Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[arimamib]

It looks like Nunez has taken on the brunt of a position he has absolutely no control over at Liverpool. Replacing Mane up front is not easy. If we look at the current Mane is much more aggressive than at Liverpool and Nunez position will not be comparable to being able to match the Premier League with Haaland. I certainly agree that Haaland has shown a thirst for goals and has always had an aggressive level on the pitch more than anyone else. Whether it's true or not, for the time being, Nunez has lost quite a bit of prestige from Haaland.

I think we can't be decisive in that even though Haaland has been the top scorer with 10 goals, Nunez is currently not giving his best performance and as for comparing to Mane I think it will be different but Nunez may need a little more time to process to become his front line is sharp and aggressive but I don't think I can conclude it myself but for sure Nunez still has good abilities at Liverpool and they are still relatively young so there is still a long time as a process of adaptation in Liverpool.

If a comparison is made, Haaland is better than Nunez in his first season playing in the EPL. Haaland has been a scary bomber in the EPL With 10 goals in 6 games, while Nunez has not been able to score half of the number of goals Haaland has earned. Nunez still needs time to prove everything, he is still very young and his goal-scoring instincts are very high. His first season in the EPL can't be said to be perfect, because he still needs adaptation on English soil, especially in terms of language.

Manchester City's form this season cannot be compared with Liverpool's poor form. Liverpool have some work to do to get them back to winning again. Manchester city are looking much more favorites to win the league again this season, Arsenal have showed they can be competitive but I doubt their squad is good enough to carry them till the end of the season.

Liverpool's inconsistency at the start of this season has made them doubtful about being able to continue to compete in the top flight.  I think this season again belongs to Manchester City because they have a fairly complete squad so it's very difficult to beat.  Arsenal are not strong enough to last until the end of the season, control the champions league zone until the end of the season I think something great achievement for them.  Manchester United and Tottenham will be tight competitors and will be a bully to Manchester City.

Luckily Manchester City managed to get Erling Haaland because his presence can make progress for Manchester City and it has been seen that his contribution there is very much because so far Erling Haaland has scored 12 goals in eight matches that have taken place, so this is really a great achievement for the club. Erling Haaland early in his career at Manchester City.

Man City have found the missing link. Having a clear striker has been Guardiola's problem for the last few years and I think he has finally fixed it. I hate to admit it but I think Man city will finally get another EPL title this season even UCL Champions. Haaland is a monster for EPL and UCL clubs

[xzone]

Arsenal's current weakness is that their back-up players don't seem ready to replace positions that are sometimes left by their main players. Looks like they have to find a way to make this worry not really happen. They have to make rotations that can work well in each position. Otherwise, as you said, the possibility of them losing their position in the standings is wide open.

You're right about that, it's not enough that they started the league well. Premeir League is one of the most difficult leagues and there must be enough players in the team, Arsenal can have a hard time if any injury occurs. I think they have a large enough roster right now, but it is very difficult to replace some players.
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about this anymore

[Bobrox]

I don't think that Arsenal will be able to hold on to their performance until the end of the season because they don't have that much squad depth. Manchester City really lacked a lethal striker for the last few seasons after Sergio Aguero left. But now as they have bought Erling Haaland, they will really try to push for the Champions League title which they have been wanting to win for the first seasons but were unable to do so.

So far Haaland has shown what he is capable of as he scored 10 goals in only 6 matches. So far Chelsea and Liverpool have been playing their game this season so Manchester City might have a really good opportunity to grab this and be the best team in England and possibly Europe.

Inconsistent performance have been usually faced by Arsenal not in this season but also almost every season Arsenal can't hold the best performance until the end of this season. But have advantage with Arsenal start on Primer League because last six games have 5 won and 1 loss, settle first standing position is great achievement by Arsenal in this season.

Manchester City have found and settle best striker in this season after Erling Haaland make Pep Guardiola sastified with his performance and success lead top scorer standing position awhile with 10 goals contribution in last six games. Not only success lead goals in domestic league but also Erling Haaland keep consistent scoring last two goals on UEFA Champion League against with Sevilla on first match.

There are rumors about Ronaldo getting into Bayern Munich but Bayern has landed Sadio Mané, Matthijs de Ligt, and Mathys Tel, so getting Ronaldo is not possible, and there are said that management from Bayern Munich doesn't like how Cristiano Ronaldo is playing, because he doesn't do any team play and wants the spotlight for himself, he is like the Kobe Bryant of the football world but surely he is one of the best footballers in the world, but nobody wants to sign him, and pretty much he is old enough for a transfer,

How tired I am of reading this set of stamps about the fact that Ronaldo is not a team player and blah blah blah. Basically, this nonsense is generated by his haters. Ronaldo is number one in assists in the Champions League. He probably did these passes because he was selfish and to set a record, right?  
Here is a good selection of how Ronaldo's partners dispose of his most brilliant passes, if I were him, I would stop passing altogether:

Undergoing a busy season because playing in several competitions, of course, it takes a balanced squad depth, both the core and reserve squads, for the core players we can say that Arsenal have a capable squad but this is not accompanied by a good reserve squad, so when Arteta rotates players, it is very obvious that arsenal's game is far from good and it is difficult to face weak teams like Zurich some time ago, besides that Arteta has difficulty making substitutions when a player is injured and actually makes them weak because they don't have a suitable substitute, The real case was seen when Elneny and Partey were injured and missed against Manchester so Arteta had to field Lokonga who I think is not strong in defense.

That means you can't expect much from Arsenal this season. The team that has a great chance of winning the title is the team that has an equally good substitute squad and main players. I don't think Arsenal is one of them, but some of the other top teams also seem to be the same as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. Their starting line-up is good, but when some players are out due to injury or something, the performance is very disappointing. I also forgot to mention that Manchester City also have the same problem, but I think they only have problems in defence.

nunez needs a lot of playing time to be able to hone his skills and also his sharpness as a striker so that Liverpool don't spend money in vain.

I think he should really pay attention to the tactical scheme used by kloop in order to support his performance. If you look at Sadio Mane when he was still with Liverpool he was the type of hardworking player who was able to control the midfield and front to pick up the ball with a strong physique that was a victory in keeping Liverpool's front line very aggressive last season. Well, since Mane departure, Liverpool seems to have not found their best performance in the last few matches. well if you say Nunez needs time to adapt I think it's a bit too late.

I would say Manchester City will be the favorite to win the title this season. Arsenal however is top of the points table. But it remains to be seen how long they can hold on to the top spot. Manchester City's gameplay and the squad are both stronger than Arsenal's.
But if we compare the Arsenal team with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, then Arsenal is more stable than these teams. However, we will have to wait a few more weeks to know which teams will participate in the title fight. Liverpool and Manchester United are trying to solve their internal problems. And their performance is now somewhat stable compared to earlier.

[jakdanyel]

Arsenal's main problem has always been with consistency. So far in this season they have done a good job. Of course the loss against Manchester United wasn't good but they are still the leader in the standings. The most important parts of the season will be the dates that they play against the other big teams of the league. If they continue to get losses or draws in those matches then it is difficult for them to remain a serious title contender for this season.

Arteta has a much more solid squad after new transfers. This season is a big opportunity to do more than just finishing it in top 4. They should be able to fight for the league title until the end. Their job is very difficult especially against Manchester City as they are even stronger after adding Haaland to the team. I assume that we would have a better idea of what teams would be in this rivalry after the end of the first half of the season.

[indah rezqi]

Manchester City have found and settle best striker in this season after Erling Haaland make Pep Guardiola sastified with his performance and success lead top scorer standing position awhile with 10 goals contribution in last six games. Not only success lead goals in domestic league but also Erling Haaland keep consistent scoring last two goals on UEFA Champion League against with Sevilla on first match.

Everyone knows that now Haaland is the sharpest striker in the Premier League at the moment. Today he will host his former team Dortmund for the second game of the Champions League and actually I would like to see him score for this match too. He must consistently score goals if top scorer is his dream this season. Against his former team, I have a little doubt he will score, it's like Lewandowski didn't in the Munich vs Barcelona match yesterday.

I think Manchester City will have no trouble winning today's game against Dortmund, it should be a good match to test the mentality of the players against good teams from other leagues. I'm curious about Haaland today, can he live up to his expectations?

[gabbie2010]

Haaland has often been linked with Nunez this season as these two players both came to the EPL this summer. If Haaland is better then Nunez is the comparison and that is as common in today's era as Ronaldo and Messi. But looking at the performance of the two teams between Liverpool and Manchester city, Liverpool were slightly behind at the start of this season, in contributing to the team Haaland was better than Nunez because Haaland had proven his quality as a goal-hungry player. Nunez has not been able to repair the gap left by Sadio Mane which is what makes him slightly behind Haaland.

It looks like Nunez has taken on the brunt of a position he has absolutely no control over at Liverpool. Replacing Mane up front is not easy. If we look at the current Mane is much more aggressive than at Liverpool and Nunez position will not be comparable to being able to match the Premier League with Haaland.

I watched Nunez playing for Liverpool yesterday after he was introduced in to their match against Ajax, he fell short of my expectations despite the hype about his abilities, capabilities in front of goal and huge sign-on fee, infact when Luiz Daiz came to Liverpool in January he made an instant impact compared to Nunez, Erling Haaland had also made an impressive start and impact since his arrival to Man City, from my opinion Liverpool shouldn't have allow Mane to leave, they should have increase his weekly wages to keep him rather than gambling on Nunez, it's obvious that the club is struggling with scoring of goals, the hope of relying on consistent goal scoring through Salah, Firmino, Diogo Jota, Nunez and Luis Diaz is already dashed.

yes I see it like that too, Liverpool made a big mistake by releasing Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich. Without Mane, Liverpool started the Premier League this season with less convincing performance. Liverpool have only won twice, drawn three and lost once. In addition, Liverpool also performed poorly in the Champions League. Liverpool had to give up with a landslide score of 1-4 from Napoli. On the other hand, the decline in M Salah's performance was due to Mane being no longer in Liverpool's front line like in previous seasons. Hopefully Darwin Nunez can quickly get his best performance in the near future.

Nunez appeared to have a huge burden on Liverpool as he signed for big hopes. Just like Haaland, but Nunez has not proven much with the goals he scored. I'm sure he will need more time to be at his best with Liverpool, he has to work hard for his place even though he could be played at any time. A good physique will support a good performance too, but I don't think he will be good without hard work.

Liverpool managed to win the match against Ajax yesterday with a score of 2-1. It was a good result although it was very likely that the match would have been a draw had Matip not managed to score a few minutes before the end of the match. After yesterday's match, Liverpool have a long holiday to evaluate the form of their players. The league will return on October 1 for them after two matches were postponed by the Premier League authorities.

[Rockstarguy]

Sadio Mane was a key player in the Liverpool team and his absence have left a major gap that even the new replacement have not been able to fill in. I bet they are suffering the kick back of their decision made in the summer window. Mane was always there in tough games like this and always had his ways of getting the goals out of the blue and now they lack that kind of player that will always put in that extra effort and pull them through.

Liverpool made a very awful decision. I never knew they underrated that super star because of his kind of person, because of his humility and calmness they failed to understand the level of his work rate. There is hardly any club that will have a player like Mane and let him go easily. In a difficult game for Liverpool it is either Mane or Salah that will deliver in the game. Mane is no longer available and only Salah cannot do it. I am sure that Liverpool is regretting their action by now.

Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah was a good chemistry that really made thing to happen for Liverpool.  Liverpool made a big mistake for not keeping mane and to treat him as an important player that is play a vital role. I know a player can't be in a club forever but the time mane left was not the right time. Am very sure the challenge Liverpool is facing is as a result of mane not available any more. Mohammad Salah and mane are two players in Liverpool then that can't do with each other and i know one of the player absence will affect the other.

A good team should not be destabilised with the departure of on one player. Mane was one of the best there but definitely not the only one! The decline of the performance of the team as a whole, including Salah, made them looks like a mid-table team and not one of the top...
In yesterday's Champions League game, I doubted they could get 3 points, yet they won, barely, vs Ajax. Yet, they aren't reassuring and still not confident about them getting to their form.
Well, the real shocking thing for me is Spurs defeat against Sporting..

Agree with what you said, in this case, for the beginning of this season Liverpool are really difficult to predict because their game is like a team that is in the middle of the board is not seeded.
Until now for the attack line, I can say that only Diaz is one of their supports because Salah and Nunez are still monotonous in their game and sometimes not a few of them make mistakes.

It was very difficult to win Ajax, but I think it would be very difficult for any other team to play against Ajax now, because the team is in great shape and scores in every match. Liverpool can play and win, it’s not clear why such disastrous matches happen, as it was with Napoli, I can’t say that it was an underestimation of the team, there were just a few penalties that spoiled everything, but that’s not only thing, such matches are not uncommon for Liverpool now, Klopp need to set the players in a positive way, you need to raise the team spirit.

Hopefully Darwin Nunez can quickly get his best performance in the near future.

To be very honest with you, Liverpool knew they made a mistake by selling Mane, that was the reason why they were in a haste to have an immediate replacement and they got Nunes. Then the replacement is not working for them because Nunez on his own is a striker while Mane is a striker, a midfielder, a Defender and the worker in the team. Mane's work rate is second to none in the team. Salah is just better than him in terms of pace, but Mane was the real bulldozer.

A good team should not be destabilised with the departure of on one player. Mane was one of the best there but definitely not the only one! The decline of the performance of the team as a whole, including Salah, made them looks like a mid-table team and not one of the top...

I beg to disagree with you. A good team can easily be destabilized in the absence of one player even more than a team that is not good. A good team is like a bond, a good team is like a chain when one of the chain is losed the team can get spoilt easily.
For example, check Barcelona and Messi when Messi left Barcelona, it was as if the chain got broken so they decided to build a new team which Xavi did for them.

So, a strong team that understand one another so perfectly can get disabilized when one of the team members leaves.
