Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Oneandpure]

Inconsistency is an old arsenal disease that keeps recurring every previous season, as an arsenal fan, I see that the chances of Arsenal championship are still very small even though we are currently ahead by 5 points from Manchester City, so far we have been able to overcome every pressure when the squad is played by arteta is really complete but if one core player like Odegaard, Saka or Saliba gets injured then Arsenal foundations of course start to shake because we really don't have replacement players on par with the core players, that's why I hope that in the transfer market later Arteta can bring in more players to strengthen the arsenal so that the main and reserve squad both have toughness in playing.

Inconsistency has been major problem for Arsenal in recent seasons, ever won half of the Premier League season but having difficulty maintaining first position even at the end of the competition to reach the top 4 ranks has been quite difficult for Arsenal. It looks like this season is a little different with the majority of Arsenal's players being filled by young players such as Odegaard, Saka, Lilina and Martinelli. I think the absence of some of Arsenal's main players in the world cup, such as Odegaard, is an advantage for Arsenal to be vulnerable to injury.

For now, Arsenal have no problems between the main and reserve squads because almost the quality of the two layers of players is equal.

Ronaldo has put himself in problem.  The interview of Ronaldo might affect him and run is career down. I think Ronaldo went too far to say things that is not necessarily  for anyone to hear. It is very bad to expose the home you belong no matter how bad it is.

Do you think that CR7 wasn't aware about the consequences of his speech? I believe that all what he said was planned to be exposed in order to piss ManU as much as possible and whether he leaves the club or force Ten Hag to say goodbye. Obviously CR7 is no longer a key player and ManU doesn't care much about him anymore. So the deal here is clear: coach > one player.

As a layman, I would say Ronaldo was right. An experienced player like him has been neglected by Ten Hag for a long time. If Ten Hag weren't interested in Ronaldo, they could have sold him earlier in the season. He didn't do that. He kept Ronaldo in the Manchester United squad to destroy Ronaldo's career and gave him very little chance to play. He did not help Ronaldo to adapt to the team. So personally I am happy with Ronaldo's statement.
But if we think professionally, since Ronaldo is an experienced and professional athlete. He should not speak against the coach or the management. I heard Manchester shares fell after Ronaldo's speech. Ronaldo is definitely responsible for this.

I think he was kind of fed up of situation inside the club. It isn't just ten Hag, its everybody he dragged in that interview except few players. Yeah kinda knows about consequences but feels that it is better to move out of the club also. I also kinda agree things need to change at United. Definitely not the way it was used to when Ferguson was there.

It is clear that Ronaldo no longer wants to be at Manchester United any longer, because with his attitude that is no longer friendly, it is like leaving the match before the game is over and now making a statement that will certainly have a reaction or impact that will be caused. So with that, maybe this is a form of Ronaldo's disappointment that he no longer gets more playing time.
Therefore, it seems certain that Ronaldo will leave Manchester United in the transfer market later and as I have also said, that this kind of attitude will certainly have a bad impact on judgment and of course as a top player this kind of attitude is very inappropriate to express.

Because as a top player, Ronlado should be more able to show or show that he is able to recover even though it is a long process.
Instead of getting something desired with that attitude, but an incident like this would probably only make it more difficult to get a new team later because they were also worried about the same thing. It doesn't matter if the player is a top player with a high salary, because if his performance has decreased, of course the team or coach will not hesitate to put him on the bench more often.

Regardless of how dissatisfied he is with the club, he was not supposed to bring everyone into it. To be honest, it wasn't a good idea to make everything public; this is between him and the club. He will now have to deal with the consequences of it. He could have left the club in a more responsible manner than this. If at all they don't keep him here again at Old Trafford, I hope he finds a better place to continue his career after here. He is a reputable player, therefore I have no doubt that this will not harm him in any way.

Something needs to change at Manchester United, of course.
I understand Ronaldo's disgust with Manchester United but I don't think it would be highly expected for his team to say to the media in interviews when he was still an active player for the team. I don't think it was wrong for Ronaldo to write his biography open, but it's certainly not right to reveal it now. Maybe he will end up at Manchester United soon, but his relationship with this team will only get worse.

Well its not okay to bash your own club that never is. I think his career in man united is over now with this interview and he knows it. But its not okay to bash one of the greatest players in football history. No matter what he does you cannot bench him and humiliate him

Hopefully, with what is happening now, Manchester United's management can evaluate themselves to be able to make changes in their interests. We all know that after the departure of Alex Ferguson Manchester united can't give anything special, it indicates that Cristiano Ronaldo's words have meaning too. You are right if Ronaldo could have written everything that happened in his biography but it seemed that Ronaldo was not satisfied so he took such a step.

I get it, Ten Hag will probably be the coach most responsible for Ronaldo's problems at Manchester United now. But I'm not sure only Ten Hag is to blame in this case, but it seems a bit odd that Ten Hag should be in the spotlight. Ten Hag did what he had to do, and so did Ronaldo. But hope that there is a common ground, in fact this has led to Ronaldo's strange history at Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he loves Manchester United very much. But it is very natural when he is not appreciated by some people internally and he expresses his frustration to the public. I'm sure CR7 is aware of what he said and it's too risky for him. But that's the expression that actually happened to him without engineering.

Ronaldo loves Manchester United club. Because the contribution of this club to Ronaldo's stardom is undeniable. And this is why he joined Manchester United. But after Manchester United changed their coach, he was neglected and humiliated by the coach. Ronaldo's conflict with the coach was easily visible. However, Ronaldo may be leaving Manchester United very soon. And I'm glad because he will leave United soon. He doesn't get enough respect in this team. Bayern Munich is now rumored to be interested in adding Ronaldo to the squad. Perhaps we will see Ronaldo in the Bayern Munich team in January.

Ronaldo's interview and statements have raised brows in the EPL and in the footballing world as a whole. I think Ronaldo is ready to leave the club already, some people are of the opinion that Ronaldo should have kept quiet about the happenings in the locker room and within the club. Well I hope this interview push the club owners to invest and put their attention to the game. Whatever the outcome would be I am happy someone finally exposed the little secrets in the old trafford and poor sporting facilities lol.

I think Arsenal and Manchester City both have a great chance to win the EPL title. But in my opinion, Arsenal still have to go through tough obstacles, at least they have to be able to overcome their tough competitor Manchester City, because the five-point distance is still very vulnerable for the Gunners. It's different with other teams who are also improving to improve their position in the standings. So for that, Arsenal must be able to maintain consistency until the end of the season if they want to realize their dreams this season.

Inconsistency is an old arsenal disease that keeps recurring every previous season, as an arsenal fan, I see that the chances of Arsenal championship are still very small even though we are currently ahead by 5 points from Manchester City, so far we have been able to overcome every pressure when the squad is played by arteta is really complete but if one core player like Odegaard, Saka or Saliba gets injured then Arsenal foundations of course start to shake because we really don't have replacement players on par with the core players, that's why I hope that in the transfer market later Arteta can bring in more players to strengthen the arsenal so that the main and reserve squad both have toughness in playing.

Even this season there is a little worry about this but I still feel that they will still try their best to maintain consistency.
At the moment they are in a good trend so it would be a shame if they experience something like that again because last season they also experienced something similar which ultimately had to make them willing to finish in the Europa League zone, even though previously they were quite comfortable in the top 4.

[CryptoPanda]

After so many years this is the team and the coach I believe in would make us see Gunners winning trophy. I think they are doing great. They have beaten almost everybody except for United who did played well and had a good plan in that fixture. I think we are gonna do well and will be consistent but it's the big games like game against City about which I am worried about.

I would comfortably bet on Arsenal though against City. I do realize that City is better than Arsenal but there is a good chance that Arsenal could be pulling an upset against City and at this rate, they can pretty much win most of their games against all the other teams. If Manchester United cant win the EPL then Im going for Arsenal to win it this season

Maybe for the current season, Arsenal and Manchester City are equal in winning every game and this is superior to Arsenal, when they play later there is a possibility that Arsenal can win I see that potential because their squad is indeed solid and that is what makes the Gunners only have 1 defeat compared to Manchester City.
This season has great potential for Arsenal and Arteta is credited with doing this if they can get to the end, hopefully, that happens to give Arsenal the dream of lifting a trophy again.

If you look at Manchester city's current strength (before the FIFA world cup) I think Manchester City will be superior. But after I searched about the number of Manchester City players who competed in the World Cup. My thoughts about Manchester City have changed a little because it turns out that Manchester City is the 2nd largest contributor of players from a team in the premier league, namely 15 players. and the first position is Manchester United who contributed 16 players to the World Cup.

And the real concern is when the FIFA World Cup is over. Of course the Manchester City players who returned after defending their respective countries in the World Cup were mentally and physically affected a little. of course they will need a little vacation or rest. and maybe even some players could have suffered injuries after the World Cup. And those things are likely to have a lot of impact on Manchester City.

City having more than 10 players playing in the world cup looks like a risky bet to me because they have very good an talented players and having all first team players playing in the competition make it risky for the team because of injuries and fatique and it will definitely hurt the team badly if this happens. Talking about depth I think Arsenal will strengthen their side in the January window.

Rumors of Ronaldo departure are discussed almost every day, Manchester United also cannot forgive Ronaldo for going too far during an interview with (Morgan). This time Manchester United will not feel that they have lost Ronaldo in their squad as Liverpool and Barcelona have felt, especially since Ronaldo has rarely been played since Ten Hag was appointed head coach.

The media is looking for income through rumors like that. They will not stop reporting on Cristiano Ronaldo's statement which is considered to have accused several parties in an interview with Piers Morgan before Manchester United issued an official statement.

The era of Ralf Rangnick serving as Interim Manchester United coach because Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked by the club management, the media also constantly reported on the Manchester United dressing room issue regarding the main Manchester United captain between Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Letting go of Ronaldo is a good decision in my opinion to save Cristiano Ronaldo who is no longer in the best form like when he played at Real Madrid. He (Ronaldo) has experienced a decline every time Erik Ten Hag plays him.

This was actually what Ronaldo want. He wants to provoke Manchester United so that they can let him go. You cant keep a GOAT like Ronaldo stagnant and expect him not to voice out. Manchester United should know that Ronaldo is no longer interested in the team again. Let me go is the best thing for both parties.

Sadly, he is leaving a club that he loves so much this way. It's now up to Eric to perform, when you get rid of a player like Ronaldo, so many things go with him, the marketing jersey and the endorsement companies will dissociate themselves from the club.

Ronaldo will earn great respect at other teams if he moves on midway through the season. I believe he is too fed up at Manchester United since his new manager was introduced, that is evident by his statements for sale. So after what Ronaldo has experienced so far at Manchester United, one thing we can take as an example is that a player is not bigger than the team and the coach even if in the past he was the most decisive player.

It would be nice if Ronaldo moved to America and received a proposal from one of the teams there. But in any case, he might return to Serie A if Napoli really want to get his signature.

Liverpool completing the contract extension of one of their keyplayers.  Curtis Jones sign a new long term contract with the reds until June 2027. He's consider a key part for both the present and future projects which will be executed by Jurgen Klopp. Jones is one of the finest player in liverpool, one of the major reason behind his poor state was as a result of long term injuries sustain during games. Let's watch out for his better form after the world cup.

Complete mess, what really has he offered to Liverpool this season, has he win any game as the manof the match where you see him as the most outstanding player in that game? No will be the response, he needs to be laid off the club once he gets done with that one year contract. Jurgen Klopp should change strategies this young players need to do more to he added to the squad. One year extension means they don't have long plans for him

Curtis Jones is from Liverpool academy but until this season he hasn't gets any places to Liverpool lineup for each matches because he lost to compete with other players such as Matic or Tiago which is more experience even for young players Klopp has more trust to played Harvey Elliott or Fabio Carvalho for midfield position but apparently Liverpool still giving chances to prove himself that he deserved to gets long duration contract and indeed i didn't see any impressive performance from Jones even i was remember this season he was into Liverpool lineup while against Nottingham Forest but unfortunately Liverpool ended up with lost result on that match but he is young talented player and extended his contract could be good investment for Liverpool

I have been wondering how and why Jones is getting this kind of hype as one of the key players of Liverpool. The people in this thread almost confused me to begin think why I have not been watching Liverpool football.
Everything written about Jones in this thread is 100% exaggerated .
Jones is simply a Youngster of Liverpool who has a future in the club, was given an extension because he is a product of Liverpool there is nothing more than this

Jones is one good and talented youngster no doubt but he is still very young and still developing. I won't rate him as one of the key players for Liverpool because he hardly even gets playing time and if you want to rate by performance the first 10 he won't even be on that list so I won't acknowledge him as one of the key players for Liverpool. At the time there is nothing special about Jones.

Everything is going well for Arsenal for now. Whether they become the champions or finish the season at the second position, the expectation level by their supporters will increase highly. People will expect Arsenal to be consistent in every season from now on. Because Arteta has built a really solid team finally and they are benefiting from this a lot this season. There is a huge difference with this one and the previous one. I know that we are still nearly in the middle of the season.

But Arsenal couldn't perform this much consistent in these times of the previous season. After new additions to the team they have become a much more reliable team. Although Jesus hasn't been scoring in the league for around one and a half months this still doesn't affect their productivity badly. This is a great example of how you can play strongly as a team.

In fact, their game has not changed much, rather some new tactics. This season they are strong, but the competition is not so far away, they can still lose this season(finishing not in first place). I think if they don't win the championship a lot of people will be disappointed, because even now a lot of fans are building expectations, and 2nd place = disappointment

Arsenal is the most complete team this season striker and strong defense that's all evidenced by the 33 goals scored and 11 conceded one of the best records so far
We don't find any weakness in Arsenal, the only way this could mess up their plans for the title is player injuries if this happens they cannot do much because the substitutes are unable to take on a role.

Looking ahead, I think they'll be fine and they'll make it to the end in first place without shifting from that position. The most important thing is that their players now do not get injured during the world championship, I think the risk is high, because this championship takes place at an unusual time - right in the middle of the season

[salad daging]

It would be nice if Ronaldo moved to America and received a proposal from one of the teams there. But in any case, he might return to Serie A if Napoli really want to get his signature.

He is not interested in the American league, basically Ronaldo still wants to play on the European stage to experience playing in the Champions League too, but until now there is still no massage from another club that will bring him, even though we have speculated a lot about Ronaldo and several other clubs but the team argues about that and there is no certainty I think maybe after the world cup is over it will be decisive for Ronaldo where to move.
But I saw some news about an offer to Jorge Mendes as an agent and he received many offers after Ronaldo and Manchester United fell out.

[TelolettOm]

I don't think it was wrong for Ronaldo to write his biography open, but it's certainly not right to reveal it now. Maybe he will end up at Manchester United soon, but his relationship with this team will only get worse.

I agree with you. Since he is still an active player at Man United, he shouldn't express to the media about his frustration at Man United. He must be patient until he really leaves Man United, then he can tell anything about his experience at Man United. Ronaldo did a mistake to tell his disgust now, he can't return to Man United squad. Sure, his relationship with Man United management and with Ten Hag becomes worse. He must think to move to another team as soon as possible, he is no longer having a place at Man United.

The most important thing is that their players now do not get injured during the world championship, I think the risk is high, because this championship takes place at an unusual time - right in the middle of the season

Apart from that they also need to make some precautions for them to maintain consistency.
We know Arsenal's problem in the past few seasons has been inconsistency and last season they did the same thing so we don't rule out the possibility that this can still happen this season.
Now the conditions are very good but Arsenal's problems are always unexpected and come at a fast pace so they have to take precautions from the start.
