Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Docnaster]

One thing coach fails to understand is that it's not an easy job to manage team like Chelsea and not all coach can fit in the shoes of manager. Chelsea have sack good managers in the past, like Jose Mourinho, Anthonio Conte, Sarri, Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and now is Graham Potter. When you're no longer performing your duty as a coach, the fans will start booeing on the pitch and the owner will give you specific time to fix your job. That's exactly what's going on in Chelsea.

Remove Lampard from the list of good coaches, Lampard is not a good coach. A good player does not mean a good coach.
Lampard blew his chances in Chelsea when  he spent big money without results. Gradually he is sending Everton to relegation and he will continue to be praised.
Lamaprd is not a good coach.

For Graham Potter, he don't have defence. The likes of Fofana and Koulibaly are not available. Even in his midfield good players are missing. When he has a better squad he will do well.

This weekend, on Saturday, a brand-new chapter in the Premier League will begin with Manchester City taking on Brentford. Although Brentford is also good and plays well, given that they drew with Chelsea and lost 4:0 to Aston Villa, I don't believe Brentford has a chance to defeat Man City. their record this season in the premier league is very poor after so many draws.

I think I should make it to be brief. I did not even have to make more analyses to know which club is better, it can easily be seen as from just the last five matches played and the matches played from the beginning of this season. Manchester City has not draw it or lose at Etihad Stadium, all matches played there are all won. Brentford in away matches, has not won just a single match, but lost and drew most of the matches played. The problem is that the odd to stake this kind of match is always small, but Manchester City is highly likely to win. Going for first half win is not bad all.

First half win seems like a nice bet but the odd isn't encouraging. Etihad Stadium will be too corrosive for Brentford because Brentford hasn't won a single away match this season all the have managed to get in their away games are draws which sums up to 4 away draws. ManCity draws were from away matches where the played against the third best club in the PL this season and Aston Villa who specialises in giving big teams tough time. Even their lose to Liverpool was marginal. City can get a clean sheet from Brentford

Lamaprd is not a good coach.

As a player we can't doubt the quality of lampard, but as you said a good player doesn't mean a good coach should be understood by everton at this time, everton journey is quite difficult so that everton management should take a stand to find another coach, I don't I know the reason for everton making lampard as a coach is because lampard doesn't have much experience in terms of coaching a team so far even though he has coached chelsea but his achievements are naught at thats time.

You are correct that being a good player does not make you a good coach, even though we have seen some good players turn into coaches and perform very well; Frank Lampard's issue is different; he was given all the time and chances to prove his quality as a coach at Chelsea but he fails to prove it, and now Everton, I just hope they will sack him soon so that they do not shattered the teams dream by making them below average and relegation zone team.

For Graham Potter, he don't have defence. The likes of Fofana and Koulibaly are not available. Even in his midfield good players are missing. When he has a better squad he will do well.

I am beginning to think that Chelsea is too big for Graham Potter to manage.
He has a different style of play and a very poor performance at Chelsea, which is why I believe it is too big for him; the Potter we know in Brighton has very good technical ideas, knows how to analyze games, and knows how to change the game with a mire substitution, but all of these are not there now at Chelsea, so maybe he will have to improve or leave because I don't think Chelsea management will continue to tolerate such poor performance until the end of the seas.

The opportunity had been given to Lampard but he could not capitalize on the trust placed in him. Everton performance under Lampard control is far from perfect, Everton is still very easy to get defeat. Everton's performance was very poor in this game, their defense was also very fragile, as a result Everton conceded 4 goals which made Lampard's team get two successive defeats after last week they were beaten 0-2 by Leicester in the premier league.
Everton staff must immediately take a stand on Everton's fragile form, finding a replacement for Lampard could give Everton new hope to bounce back from their poor form.

[rahmad2nd]

I agree and now the fate of Graham Potter is in question Chelsea has a bad result in the last 5 matches only able to collect 5 points
Graham Potter might still have a chance because they got a good result in the champions league but the next match is even tighter when Chelsea have to play another great team like Dortmund.

So far, Graham Potter has led Chelsea to a change for the better although he still has a lot to correct. especially when Chelsea are up against big teams, like against Manchester United and Arsenal. it won't be easy for Potter, after all he is a new coach who needs time to maximize his squad's performance. he still needs a strategy test, player rotation, and we have seen that in his early games with Chelsea. early on when he was appointed to replace Tomas Tuchel, Potter said. he, had to bring Chelsea to finish in the top four of the premier league. if not, maybe his career with Chelsea ends until this season only.

So, Potter still has time to maximize and fix the weaknesses of the strategy he applies and maximize the potential of his players.

Two great players from different clubs, namely Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, are now at stake, even though Steven Gerrard is a great player who has given Liverpool many titles but his career as a coach has not gone smoothly, Gerrard has just been fired from the Aston Villa coaching chair , Gerrard's dismissal by Aston Villa indirectly became an alarm for Everton coach Frank Lampard, because Everton's performance under Lampard's tutelage was also not much different from Aston Villa's performance, it is not impossible if Everton lost again in the next match Lampard will suffer the same fate as Steven Gerard.

I agree with you and I wish everyone backing Frank Lampard will accept the fact that he is never a good coach.
Frank Lambard made his first mistake by accepting to manage Chelsea football club which he spent so much money on signing average players that couldn't help the team to get better. Lampard ought to maintain his reputation as a former legend of Chelsea and England as a country by taking managerial jobs with smaller clubs maybe from them England championship or League one where he will gather more coaching experience or work as an assistant coach to his former bosses like Jose, Conte, or Pep, I believe this will help him to get better rather than taking offers and sending clubs to the early relegation zone. If Everton fails to win their next game from away against Bournemouth, they will be in the relegation zone and Lampard will be sacked then because he can not help the team out.

No one should underestimate them or write them off just yet; they both had successful football careers and I think with time they will become better coaches. These men have managed some significant clubs despite being in the early stages of their coaching careers. Even those coaches who have pursued coaching professions have not been able to secure the chance to oversee such significant clubs. The difficulties Gerrards is experiencing in his coaching profession are lessons in suffering. I think he will recover if he works consistently and hard. I believe him.

From the look of things, we can see that Arsenal are seriously fighting for the title this season. The manager said he wants to qualify for UCL by winning the next game and so on. They have a high value squad and with players who wants to fight to win.

By beating Chelsea, Arsenal prove that they are very strong and good results they have gotten so far are not solely from luckiness. They are actually very strong and their works are reflected on total points they have collected successfully.

Chelsea is not fighting for the title this season. Their team is now completely unstable. They are not able to consistently perform well. Chelsea's aim at the moment is to stabilize their squad and bring consistency in performance. But it won't be easy for them. There are many weaknesses within their team. They should now add the required talented players to the squad. If they don't add new players to the team, even if Chelsea's performance continues, they won't be able to play well against the big teams. Their weaknesses in both attack and defense are quite visible.

Graham Potter also will be sacked by Chelsea he will be able to build a team but that team will be used and more useful by the next coach to win the league for Chelsea. I still do not think they have the chance to get into top four this season. They don't issue with defense if you watch the games they play, if they start scoring ans keeping good ball possession then they'll get better. They have problem with midfied no defense

Chelsea's weakness is not the only defense. The condition of their entire teams is now unstable. They are not playing well. Manchester City scored 39 goals in 13 matches, and Haaland probably scored 18 goals in 12 matches. On the other hand, Chelsea players scored only 17 goals in 13 matches. The performance of Chelsea's forward players is poor. They need more talented strikers. And it is crucial for the strikers to perform well if they want to stay on top of the Premier League table. Because every team here is strong. So if the attacking players do not perform well, it becomes difficult to score points in the match.

Backing all you've said bout Frank Lampard, from start to end of his coaching days for Chelsea, he was Subpar, the way he handles big game's got him sacked. Some more players like him are Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. They might be good players back then in them playing day's but not good enough as managers. Frank Lampard will also loss the job with Everton if they don't go above this current level by next transfer window.

I think they Chelsea has a good defense those player's were responsible for winning the Champions League with Thomas Tuchel.
He doesn't need a better squad he can still manage these players, they Chelsea just need improvement in the kind of midfielder's they have.

[hd49728]

I agree with you and I wish everyone backing Frank Lampard will accept the fact that he is never a good coach.

He is not a good coach now but never is not true. Did people call Claudio Ranieri is not a good coach and in late of his career, he won Premier League with Leicester City in surprise of all ?

Lampard is still a young coach and he has lot of time to learn and improve himself. He might become a good coach in future. Don't say never now.

Frank Lambard made his first mistake by accepting to manage Chelsea football club which he spent so much money on signing average players that couldn't help the team to get better. Lampard ought to maintain his reputation as a former legend of Chelsea and England as a country by taking managerial jobs with smaller clubs maybe from them England championship or League one where he will gather more coaching experience or work as an assistant coach to his former bosses like Jose, Conte, or Pep

He made that mistake but if people don't have brave to take risk and challenge, do we see big successful surprise like Pep Guardiola or Zinedine Zidane? Lampard accepted challenge and failed with it but it is not too bad for him. Having that lesson is very good for him as without lesson and real experience, it's hard to know what you are bad and what you must improve.

I believe this will help him to get better rather than taking offers and sending clubs to the early relegation zone. If Everton fails to win their next game from away against Bournemouth, they will be in the relegation zone and Lampard will be sacked then because he can not help the team out.

I hope that Lampard will succeed to stay in Premier League with Everton. It's good for him and for Everton too. I can not believe to see Everton absence in Premier League after many years they are here.

On paper, it is clear that I am also quite sure that Manchester City can still win and still bring a landslide victory. Although Brentford's side can also score goals, the possibility of winning is not too sure. Pep Guardiola will continue to install Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, and Phil Foden as breakers of the opponent's defense which will certainly make this dominated easily.

The next day there was a Manchester United vs Fulham match. Well before the world cup, this match is certainly very important for Erik Ten Hag to close temporarily in order to keep his standings under control.

When you look at this Chelsea side, from the way they have been playing, you will realize that the defense is not the problem. Difficulty in creating chances and using the right player in the right position is where the problem lies. Graham Potter has been tryin to make Chelsea play in the same system he used at Brighton but it’s obvious that he doesn’t have the right player for that. Now he’s been trying to twerk formations in all the games tryin to find balance and it’s just not working. I think they’ll need to enter the Market in January to bring in the players that suits the system he wants to deploy.

Gerrard indeed has failed on Aston Villa that he cannot fulfiled the management expectation and this makes him got sacked this season but talking about Gerrard achievement during his career as the manager it comes when he train to Rangers that Gerrard can bring this team to get Scotland league trophy even with unbeatable status even he has made a history on Rangers with achieved more than 100 points in 1 season so this proven he can being an good manager at the right club

This also makes Aston Villa to recruit him because they want Gerrard can be success at Aston Villa but i don't know why Aston Villa isn't suitable for his strategy and eventually this team always be playing poor under him but the current manager of Liverpool Klopp has been believe Gerrard will be great manager someday even at the press conference Klopp said if someday he leave Liverpool probably he will recomend Gerrard as his replacement

Graham Potter started well for Chelsea when he got his appointment he was in an unbeaten runs in nine matches before losing woefully against his former club, It's too early to pass a verdict on his performance recall Chelsea was struggling both in the league and UCL until Potter took over where he made an instant impact on the team even with little or no experience in European competitions he had already proved his critics wrong, I believe there is room for improvement in the team and Graham Potter is equal to the task, hopefully when Chelsea play other top teams in EPL they will get a better result.

No one doubts that manchester city will be able to win easily against brentford later, manchester city impressive performance in the league at the moment is unstoppable at all, Haaland, Bruyne and Foden have become a deadly duo for the opposing team and I think manchester city will be able to score a lot goals in the match later, currently manchester city is the most fertile team in the league because it has managed to score 39 goals in only 13 matches, the quality of players owned by the manchester city squad is above average, especially since brentford is also in a less than optimal condition after their last 5 matches in all competitions have not managed to get a single win,  So I'm pretty sure that 3 points will belong to Manchester City in the 14th week.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I think, Chelsea president need to bring in a new talented coach that can handle Chelsea players very well in a way they will start performing well like Manchester city in this season. Chelsea has missed many opportunities in this season, because their formal coach was trying to move the team higher with some new strategies he brought to introduce to the team before he got a sacked letter.

Thomas Tuchel wasn't doing anything positive, you can't get the kind of money that was handed over to him and this was the best he could bring to the squad. There's little or no improvement from what we had in the last season before Chelsea was sold to the new boss. Thomas Tuchel was just surviving on the team that frank lampard built and that's the team that won us the champions league. When it was his turn, look at those he brought in, how do someone buy Fofana when we have Chalobah.

We just have to give Potter sometime, he's a very young manager and if you follow his career and previous clubs he coached, they didn't just start playing well as the clubs are known for under his management. It took sometime before the players adapted to his style of play. Potter needs at least one transfer window to get Chelsea in shape. For now we just have to secure a champion league spot for next season and shouldn't be over expecting this season.

Because every team here is strong. So if the attacking players do not perform well, it becomes difficult to score points in the match.

The worst performance by chelsea. It doesn't matter whether it's attack, midfield or defense. All of these have horrible performance. Chelsea needs not only to get a new coach but so many players need to be replaced. A few games without win in EPL. What a horrible performance by chelsea. This club may not able to enter into the top 4 at the end of season. Goals collected by whole of chelsea players even less compared with haaland. What a very bad result from the team that worth hundreds millions dollars.
It needs to sell so many players and then buy the new players with better quality.

[arimamib]

So far, Graham Potter has led Chelsea to a change for the better although he still has a lot to correct. especially when Chelsea are up against big teams, like against Manchester United and Arsenal. it won't be easy for Potter, after all he is a new coach who needs time to maximize his squad's performance. he still needs a strategy test, player rotation, and we have seen that in his early games with Chelsea. early on when he was appointed to replace Tomas Tuchel, Potter said. he, had to bring Chelsea to finish in the top four of the premier league. if not, maybe his career with Chelsea ends until this season only.

So, Potter still has time to maximize and fix the weaknesses of the strategy he applies and maximize the potential of his players.

Chelsea have high hopes for the figure of Graham Potter after going through a difficult period with Tuchel. Despite getting two draws and two defeats in the last four matches, Chelsea are still able to provide competition for the top four positions.
Chelsea are only six points away from Newcastle who are in third place and five points from Tottenham who are sitting in fourth. Chelsea still have a chance to reduce the gap because Newcastle and Tottenham have played 14 games while Chelsea have only passed 13 games.

Potter has to shape Chelsea to give his best after two consecutive defeats to Brighton and Arsenal, Chelsea must improve their rankings to get into the top four. Potter has better players in the Chelsea squad, should make his job easier than when he was at Brighton. Improvements and set the right strategy into work that must be done immediately Potter if you want to bring Chelsea out of disappointing results.
