Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[X-ray]

The problem with Manchester United is that the coach is prioritizing individual happiness over team success.
I believe Ronaldo fans are all happy because they have gotten exactly what they wanted, they want to see Ronaldo playing all matches than Man United performing better with the good result without him.
Ronaldo needs to leave Manchester United by January because his impact on matches is no longer felt by the team.

I think it's not entirely Cristiano's fault for the defeat suffered by Manchester United against Aston Villa, after all, it was an 11-man game. Cristiano had played optimally in that match and indeed the Aston Villa defender locked his movements very tightly. if given more trust then I'm sure Cristiano can come back to playing well again.

Ronaldo must not be blamed caused by the lose that already suffered by united. The problem is performance of MU was not as usual. The fact that so many ball possessions but that would only gave a few on target shots for MU. I don't like the team that was dominating the ball but lose caused by it can't create the golden chance. The same thing that was happening with the team that was prioritizing the ball possession rather than final execution to create goal. The goal is a thing that makes the club win the game.
It's not the ball possession. Aston villa has less fouls but more shots on target. It has also less corner kick. MU looks like the worst team during that match.

what you say is true, actually MU's defeat against Aston Villa is still within reasonable limits, ten hag still need to find a good strategy and formation for the squad that MU currently has

I personally am very confident that by the end of this season, Ten Hag will be able to bring MU to finish in the top 4 of the EPL, the homework ten Hag is not easy

The attacks carried out by Manchester United did not do much harm to Aston Villa's goal in that match. Although MU got many chances and only 2 chances were quite dangerous, but all of them could be broken thanks to Aston Villa's solid defense. because in the second half Aston Villa was more focused on defending. Mu is quite dominant in this match but there are a few shortcomings in the MU defense. and I appreciate the hard work of L. Martinez he works very hard. although sometimes I am very worried that his hard work can lead to a violation because he plays quite hard. the strategy that made Aston Villa win in this match was his quick counter-attack pattern. Bailey was absolutely outstanding in this match.
Ten Hag looked quite calm even though his team lost. looks like he really continues to try to find the best strategy for MU.

Tottenham vs Liverpool
Liverpool's away victory against Tottenham lifted them up to 8th position on the table. Sallah scored two goals in the first half, on the 11th minutes and on the 40th minutes. The second goal was an expensive mistake from Dier which Sallah took advantage of to end the first half 2-0 against Tottenham the host club.

Tottenham played very well in the match but luck was not on their side, they had so many opportunities in the first half to equalise the goal. The second half Tottenham dominated the game having so many chances to win the game but the ball wall hitting the goal post. Kane scores the only goal in the 70th minutes after Conte made the first change substituting Emerson with Doherty.

Their wingers don't play too well. Jadon Sancho is simply a very disappointed case. He has never reached to his performance level as he did in Dortmund. Rashford is used at winger and striker and I don't think Rashford plays too good at these positions. Ganarcho is a new discovery from Ten Hag but a few impressive matches are not enough to put all pressure on the young player.

At the moment Erik Ten Hag is always trying to experiment with every line and it is clear that the 2 goals in the first half against Aston Villa were errors by the Benfica defender. He was too focused on guarding the transfer players who had been prepared by Unai Emery and moreover Lindelof was always unable to compete to secure the ball. So that makes Martinez have to cover up his mistakes at the back.

As a new coach in a new club, you have to try some formations to find a best one for players you have. Ten Hag is just doing that job and the temporary result is acceptable that allows him to continue his trials.

The defeat against Aston Villa confirms a fact that Manchester United need to have some supplements from transfer market. If they want to finish in top four and aim at higher targets next season, they should start a good preparation since this season.

You should be part of sky sport's punditry, I love all you have said here completely, bout Jadon Sancho, he's lost his sparkling and buzzing form,how can Manchester United rely on such a  winger ? At times I wonder what Pep Guardiola infuses Into Foden to make him this good. Rashford ? Lol I love him no doubts but we can rely on him for a full omg season he needs support.

Victor Lindelof was so dump, I anticipated a hard marking from him on that player but good-jesus he was just so soft on the player, Erikson was close by should have covered for Lindelof but he didn't, Martinez try to but it was just too late. Erik Ten Hag must have taken good note, according to what you've said it's good to say they're all experiments carried out. Barcelona they'll face in Europa League.

Mu is quite dominant in this match but there are a few shortcomings in the MU defense.

Today Man united is without Bruno. That leaves Man United weak in attacking variety. No good breakthrough bait was made. A lot of crossballs were fixed on ronaldo. But Aston Villa defender Mings guarded him strictly. In fact, they had wrestled and Ronado got a yellow card. Man United's finishing was also very poor.
The dependence on Bruno makes Ten Hag not optimal. Van de beek could not be maximal. Two quick goals seemed to have also left them devastated, this indicates that Man United's defence is still poor.

yes you are right that Of course no player is to blame including Ronaldo. In fact, Ronaldo has always been closely guarded in every match, including the match against Aston Villa yesterday. so there are not many opportunities that Ronaldo can get. And indeed Manchester United continued to dominate the match but unfortunately there were not many attacks that could endanger the opponent's goal. Manchester United does not have a fast attack pattern. and this is one of the shortcomings in the MU attack pattern. they do more of a slow attack pattern. thus giving time for all Aston Villa players to gather in defense which makes it difficult for MU to get a chance to shoot the ball directly into the Aston Villa goal. And in contrast to Manchester United, Aston Villa have a very fast attack pattern and I think that is very effective. even the MU defense is very troubled every time Aston Villa counterattack quickly.

Speaking of Sancho, it's true lately he's always been in the limelight because of the mess he makes and always blunders where he goes when playing on the wing. Therefore, it is better if Erik Ten Hag puts Garnacho to have an option. Because so far Garnacho has only paid more attention, but if it was honed I think it would be quite ideal to give that position rather than Sancho. Furthermore, Rashford also needs to learn a lot because he did not do much in the match against Aston Villa. Therefore, there is Antony who is more hardworking in his position. Erik Ten Hag will continue to do a lot of trial formations that are considered effective but with the remaining time, it also doesn't seem like enough to keep playing losing.

The second goal was an expensive mistake from Dier which Sallah took advantage of to end the first half 2-0 against Tottenham the host club.

Salah, Alisson, Konate, and Nunez were all outstanding. Salah is in better form than ever. I believe Konate has demonstrated that he will be a great asset to the club for many years to come. However, that Kane goal is actually teaching him a valuable lesson: be able to close down the best forwards because they can get their shot off extremely quickly, and if he had done it a fraction of a second sooner, he could have been able to stop the shot.

[Raflesia]

It has been a great return for Unai Emery. Emery made a successful return to the Premier League by defeating Manchester United 3-1. Aston Villa opened up a two-goal lead. There has been a real lift in this place under Unai Emery. It was a great performance by Jacob Ramsey. Still baffled by how Aston Villa managed to defeat Manchester United. Strikers at United need to put in more effort. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to live up to expectations in his first match as captain.

It's a sweet debut indeed but on the other hand we also can't say it became very good just because of one game.
Emery still has to continue to work hard, especially for the Aston Villa defense which is actually still not very good.
There are still 2 games for Aston Villa against Manchester United in the EFL and Brighton in the Premier League.
It's still a tough challenge in my opinion because in this case Brighton are still the dark horse at the moment even though their performance has decreased slightly when Potter went to Chelsea.

[nara1892]

I am very happy when Liverpool can win again this week and I am happy when I see Mohamed Salah score again even it is 2 goals that he created and sealed a 1-2 win over hosts Tottenham. Jurgen Klopp's men managed to play well in this match and could end their 2 defeats. I think Liverpool and Manchester United are in a similar situation now. Yes, if we compare them, we will find one similarity in their match results against strong teams and weak teams. I don't want to see Liverpool following in the footsteps of Manchester United.

Liverpool managed to win matches against Manchester City and Tottenham with good performances. But unfortunately, in other matches they look too easy to drop points as they have experienced so far this season. If Liverpool's performance is consistent like this, then I don't think they deserve to be in 8th place in 13 match for 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

For the next match, I want to see if they manage to beat Southamton who should be safe to choose Liverpool to win. If Liverpool lose and drop points then I think most people here have to miss a lot of their match.

This should be a momentum for revival especially Southampton is also in transition, especially with their coach being sacked for not being able to bring them to good performance.
This must be maximized properly but when talking about things like this for Liverpool now it is clear that it cannot be an easy win for Liverpool especially in this case Liverpool's condition is also difficult to predict because their performance is still inconsistency which is not really good.
But I'm still pretty sure they will be in the top 4 especially there are some threats from the top brass if Klopp can't bring Liverpool to finish in the top 4 then he will definitely leave Anfield after 7 years as a coach.

We all know how strong Liverpool is in the English Premier League. But Liverpool have not been able to play their game this season. They are already at the bottom of the points table. Alison Baker is doing great as the goalkeeper. And at the attacking point, Md Salah held his ground If Liverpool's midfielders can play the forwards a bit better then I think most matches will go in Liverpool's favour. Hopefully they will plan everything and enter the field to win

Liverpool's squad is not weak. Their squad is quite strong and they have a lot of talented players. Their weakness is that the chemistry between the players is not good. And their match strategy is weak compared to other teams. This is the only reason why they are not able to play well regularly this season. However, Liverpool's performance against Tottenham was stable. Especially Liverpool's two forwards Nunez and Salah had a good performance so they were able to win this match. However, these two players cannot be relied upon in all matches. Liverpool's overall gameplay needs to be more stable.

Manchester United played quite well in that match but they had to accept defeat at the end of the game. And it's not natural for us to blame one player because this match was full of emotions from the hosts because they were able to make Erik Ten Hag squad in difficulty to secure the defensive line. One of the strong factors for Manchester United defeat in this match was because their defense was not good in that match and also Ronaldo got a super tight escort from Aston Villa players so he had difficulty developing the game. other than that Unai Emery is able to carry out the task quite well after he was appointed as a substitute for Gerrard.

Man United have to play without their full team, and I think it will definitely affect their performance. We all know that Bruno Fernandes has already become a key player. Although this season he is not very impressive but no other player can take his place (Christian Eriksen has a similar characteristic to Bruno, but they both always play together at the same time). The right position has belonged to Antony and he performed quite brilliantly in that position, so when he can't play, the flank attacks from the right look less convincing. The defensive line is the most serious problem. The most promising is the duo of Varane and Martinez so far, and because Varane is injured, Man United's defense is looking really miserable.

[hahay]

Lost by a team ranked lower in the standings in two consecutive matches, Liverpool won again against a top team. I just wonder why Liverpool can be like this, because it would be better if Liverpool can get good results also against mediocre teams.
But unfortunately, Liverpool will only play seriously against top teams and as such, it looks like Klopp is trying a new strategy against mediocre teams, or Liverpool who are really underestimating against mediocre teams, it's hard to understand.

But indeed, in head to head Tottenham v Liverpool also at least Liverpool did dominate the victory even though it didn't always go smoothly. But with the situation that is happening at this moment, I think Liverpool is very unpredictable against a top team, because it fell against a weak team.
But in the end, Liverpool can still record a victory against Tottenham, while on paper the best result for Liverpool in a situation like this is a draw. But that didn't happen either, as Tottenham failed to capitalize on Liverpool's chaotic conditions

[Jody.Drummer]

Aston Villas goals were quite perfect frankly speaking and Baily doesn't score that goal from that angle 100% of the time. Then the freekick and only that one lucky goal for Manchester United. That is what I think shouldn't happen. Manchester didn't fight back as a great team would do. They didn't get their organisation right and weren't sufficiently dangerous in Aston Villas box despite having amazing players in their offensive lines. Aston Villa was greatly prepared and they delivered a real fight. That's why in the end the three points were well deserved.

Manchester United have stability issues, especially when it comes to away games. At some point, when it seems that ten Hag was able to improve the game of the teams, they manage to get defeated by not the strongest team. But Emery's presence may have played a role here, now it will be interesting to see the results of Aston Villa, since Emery is a very good coach and can significantly improve the team.

Emery is one of those coaches who always had a good defensive scheme at Villarreal and I hope this can be done at Aston Villa. An excellent first game for Emery in the Premier League but this is only the first game and he still has plenty of work to do to improve every line at Aston Villa.
At the moment they still have one match left against Brighton in the EPL and of course this must also be another proof for him whether he can really lift Aston Villa's performance or not.

Week 16 Chelsea will face Newcastle at St. James Park, from the last few meetings all have been dominated by Chelsea wins but now Newcastle are not a team like last season they have started to become a team that deserves to be reckoned with by strong teams, and again Chelsea will have a tough match.

Newcastle has the potential to beat Chelsea moreover they played at home so far Newcastle has only lost one match I'm not sure Chelsea will change it 2 times.

[Razmirraz]

Week 16 Chelsea will face Newcastle at St. James Park, from the last few meetings all have been dominated by Chelsea wins but now Newcastle are not a team like last season they have started to become a team that deserves to be reckoned with by strong teams, and again Chelsea will have a tough match.

Chelsea are having a tough week, after in the previous two games humiliated Brighton and Arsenal, Chelsea will be challenged by Manchester City in the EFL Cup and Newcastle in the EPL. The next two games are very challenging for Potter, he must bring Chelsea to bounce back from two consecutive defeats, but Manchester City and Newcastle can make things difficult for Chelsea.

Chelsea chances of getting back into the top four are very small because Newcastle are in their best form. Newcastle have always been impressive in the last 9 matches, Newcastle goals are also very good. Chelsea who away to James Park will find it difficult to face Newcastle, because in the last five matches at home, Newcastle have managed to get three wins and two draws.

I was watching this match and second goal from Liverpool was pure from the mistakes which made from Tottenham player and i have to say Tottenham was playing poor on the first half even while been attacked Tottenham players looks panic and often to do some mistakes and Liverpool players realized this situations and utilized it to scorings goals

But everything looks change on the second half that Tottenham can found their rhythm and playing well even they were made several attempts to scoring goals but Liverpool lucky because their players such as Alisson and Fabinho can playing well especially Fabinho that as holding midfielder he can guarded midfield side with very well but although Liverpool can win the match but i am not too satisfied with their performance because their defenders still lack of coordination
