Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[gabbie2010]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thomas Tuchel wasn't doing anything positive

I completely disagree with you, Tuchel won the CL with Chelsea because he had a working strategy/philosophy, and not because of anything else, Frank Lampard didn't last long enough for you to claim he built a team that Tuchel then used in winning the trophy, when a manager wins a trophy for a club, even after just joining the team, that trophy is won out of his hardwork and imo has nothing to do with the previous manager.

Having said that, Tuchel is a better manager than Potter in every aspect, Chelsea played better football under Tuchel than they are doing now, the way i see it i believe that Potter is more of a small club manager rather than a big team like Chelsea. You can agree with me that there was no need to fire Tuchel, it was only because the new hierarchy at the club wanted to establish their authority, well i don't think time will benefit Potter, and in a year or so we could start seeing Chelsea fans asking for Potter to be sacked.

Chelsea already has a new coach, but why does Chelsea still need a new coach?


Basically when Tuchel was suddenly sacked Chelsea's situation had indeed deteriorated and as such, Chelsea could not put their hope in Potter as the new coach to provide immediate changes to the team.
At least it still takes time for Potter to be able to make Chelsea to his best form, there are still many processes that must be passed as players who are Potter's own choice and not continuing from the team built by Tuchel.

Therefore, this season Chelsea's chance to end the season in the top four is indeed difficult because Newcastle are in their best form this season.
So there is no longer a place for Chelsea and Liverpool in the top four this season, because these two teams this season are like in a team reshuffle which of course, will lose to compete with other top teams who already have their best form this season.

It looks like not much thing has changed since the previous season for Everton. They are still in a big trouble and they seem to be one of the candidates to relegate from the league. Lampard barely saved the team from relegating in the previous season. I'm sure that he doesn't want to experience the same thing but this performance is carrying them there again.

They have lost some important players like Richarlison as well and this has weaken them even more. They have an away game against Bournemouth this week and Bournemouth are also not much different from them. Everton have never beaten them in an away game in EPL games so far. Let's see if they will do this for the first time.

I don't hold it against you because just as you're thinking so is other non fans thinking and not giving Frank lampard the credit that he deserves. Frank came into the club when the club was under strick penalties that demanded they don't sign any player. Frank introduced the fans to the academy players and both the ones he brought into the team and those already playing got the best playing time of their career and developed into what we see today. The likes of Mount, Reece James, Chalobah, Tomori, Abraham, etc all played brilliantly under Frank until the unlucky period came that his inexperienced caused us.

Thomas Tuchel came in with his experience and used this players to win us the champions league but it got into his head and started sending our youngster away and benching those he couldn't sell. Why should a coach looking for a striker sell Abraham and cost of millions of euros to resign Lakaka sorry Lukaku. Thomas Tuchel didn't have trust in our youngsters that won him the title and that's one of the problem he had with fans. Again why go waste millions to buy Fofana when you have a player like Chalobah warning the bench?.

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.

More than the final match the importance of victory over Fulham in the last match before the World Cup break for Erik ten Hag to secure Manchester United's place temporarily.
In short, we expect the match against Fulham on matchday 14 Manchester United to get full points even though the match takes place at Craven Cottage, London. Fulham only suffered 1 defeat while playing at their proud Stadium from 7 matches.

Fulham is an opponent that Manchester United will not easily beat, especially if we look at Manchester United who are always unpredictable in their matches. Fulham will take advantage of the instability of Manchester United this season, moreover they will play home matches in this match. Erik Ten Hag has to see the game as a big game that they have to win. Yes it will determine their position before the international break really starts.

[bekti3]

It is surely a bad thing for coaches to be stressed with their club or team, I really think that Chelsea's previous coaches understand each other, they keep blaming the coaches even if the real problem doesn't really ie in the coach but some cases the players or the staff members aswell, they all keep lambast their coaches like that and if this continues there will be no one that would like to coach for them anymore,

Obviously this is still difficult because basically everything must require a process but for Potter's case he is required to immediately be able to play well and of course this is very difficult to do especially in this case he can be said to have minimal experience for a big club.
I'm not going to blame Potter for now although there are some things that Chelsea are lacking but it's a bit difficult at the moment with a few injured players.

I think that Newcastle - Chelsea seems to be the most attracting game on this week. Honestly I wasn't expecting Newcastle to perform this much solid in this season. Because they couldn't achieve all of their transfer targets in the previous transfer window. But even with the current squad, they are doing a wonderful work. They are already the owner of the 3rd place. Their history in big games is also impressive. They have lost to Liverpool only so far. Beating Tottenham in an away game was a proof of how much dedicated they were.

When it comes to Chelsea, their performance is far from good now. Especially after the loss against Arsenal things might be harder for them mentally. Now their winless streak has gone up to four games. Their job in this tough away game will be even more difficult. They have a good history against Newcastle lately though. But the current performances show me that Newcastle are the closest side to the win.

Improvements and set the right strategy into work that must be done immediately Potter if you want to bring Chelsea out of disappointing results.

I don't think have any changed with Chelsea perform under new era Graham Potter than Thomas Tuchel, until several matches as Chelsea manager still inconsistent perform and right now have been on 7th standing out away from European zone competition. Badly after Chelsea beaten in last two matches at Primer League from Brighton Albion and Arsenal. Have been last four matches Chelsea faced difficult get maximum points and have left many points with Arsenal lead first standing position trough 13 points.

Potter have special guarantee with his position before signing contract with Chelsea has announcement about his position keep secure what ever result get by Chelsea at the first season Potter as manager, actually with previous squad seems Potter need to bring his favorite player and easy how to running with scheme he want.

But the current performances show me that Newcastle are the closest side to the win.

Yes, no one expected Newcastle to play so well this season, in fact they only lost 1 time with Arsenal and Manchester City, while other teams suffered at least 4 defeats, even though they got a draw with 6 records. But of course this is something very good for them because they are able to compete in the 3rd position of the standings. Chelsea must be wary of Newcastle this week because they could be the next victim that must be conquered by Newcastle. 4 times without a win must be ended by Chelsea to re-lift their morale.

I am still curious on how he takes on the most dangerous side in the premier league I am sure they are not using the full set of players for this game but he will not use a week squad against Manchester City. Same players bought by Thomas Tuchel will be used by Graham Potter to win a trophy but not a big one. He is a small manager until he wins a big trophy with Chelsea. Wrong to bring Fofana and aged Aubameyang by Thomas Tuchel but Fofana will adapt, Aubameyang will surely leave

[Mamun74]

Arsenal started very well this season and still they playing outstanding in EPL.Last years they played very poor football but they had chance but they didn’t do their job properly. But this season they are very much strong team in EPL.Now they are top number 1 EPL point table 2022/2023.What do you think?can they finish top 1 in EPL this season?

Fulham will take advantage of the instability of Manchester United this season, moreover they will play home matches in this match. Erik Ten Hag has to see the game as a big game that they have to win. Yes it will determine their position before the international break really starts.

I even doubt for Fulham's victory even though the match will be played at home to Fulham, because from the previous match and also last season's match I saw Fulham never won against Manchester United. And that doesn't mean that Manchester United won't be able to win over Fulham this time, so that makes me doubtful about Fulham's victory at home. And Erik Ten Hag himself I don't think has ever seen every game in the Premier League as trivial for him even with a team that has looked weak this season.

[KTChampions]

Do you think that the Superleague project is completely closed? I doubt it very much because UEFA lost in the courts and nothing stops clubs from organizing the Super League.

It won't die easily and I think it will be continued under the iceberg. Clearly that EUFA won't let things go out of their control easily. Champions League with participation of big clubs are very good to bring income to UEFA. They won't let it vanish easily and quickly.

I think the big clubs will be happy to take care of the revenue they generate and get rid of the cretin UEFA officials who do crap but take their cut. It is obvious to me that officials are superfluous in this scheme and such games as Chelsea - Dynamo (even if Dynamo sometimes “wins”) are also superfluous. I want to watch a top club competition, not a parody.
I hope business will eventually defeat corruption (officials).

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.

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.

Before the injury of some of Chelsea's players (James, Kante, Fofana, Chiwell) Chelsea's defence and midfield were quite okay and weren't easy to penetrate. Once these players get back to their feet again, Chelsea will perform better in attack and defence. What Chelsea needs at present is a good striker that will replace Sterling and Aubameyang. If Chelsea could get a good strike by January transfer window, they will go back to their old winning ways
