Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Bananington]

This one player has become a mainstay of Pep Guardiola in recent years, he has successfully become a field general in every match and on average always provides assists to Manchester City's attackers. Even though he is no longer young, Kevin De Bruyne's impressive performance has not disappeared and coupled with Manchester City's squad which is so perfect in all positions, he is able to play in collaboration without relying on individual skills.

I see Kevin De Bruyne as the most important player in Manchester City, even more important than their highest goal scorer of this season who just joined them. In games where Kevin does not play for them, his absence in the team is usually largely felt. He is Pep Guardiola's greatest assets in the team amidst  the many talented players the teams has in all positions. When I hear of teams that need players, I do not count Manchester City because I see them as a very balanced team that is not lacking even in their substitute list. It is a great team that Pep has assembled. Their first game is against Leeds United and based on their team form, that game should not be a difficult game for them to win.

You are absolutely right. Kevin De Bruyne is an outstanding midfielder. He is a regular player for Manchester City. He plays really good football. His style of playing football is very different. His biggest in-game quality is his ability to get shots on goal at lightning speed. He has been serving Manchester City for a long time.

On the other hand, Manchester United still needs this player to remain part of them. The reason is that no player has been prepared to replace him, apart from several rumors from several players who have been linked with Manchester United, but still, if there is no agreement between them, it means that their status is still a question mark. Rashford will be released by Manchester United, if MU has got the player they are after. They certainly won't take the risk of selling their players, while they themselves are still in a difficult situation like now. Erik Ten Hag will surely realize this and must prevent his players from leaving, otherwise it will be a loss for them to face the second round of the Premier League this season.

Nothing depends on United as Rashford's contract ends in the summer of 2023 and he can leave for free. Now they are in the most difficult situation - they either have to offer better financial terms than PSG (and thus suffer financially since it is very expensive to compete with PSG in terms of money) or let Rashford go for free. Both decisions look like a big loss.

You are right, that Rashford contract which expires next summer is PSG's opportunity, on the other hand, PSG actually already has a much more stable player. I think Manchester United will inevitably release young players who have shone in the World Cup. Although later there will definitely be many clubs trying to offer the best place for Rashford. PSG has sufficient finances, but Rashford position will not be as free as where he was when he played at Manchester United. Surely it will share a place like being a second-tier alternative player for PSG.

PSG are nowhere near signing Rashford at the moment. Because there are many players in his position in PSG. If PSG were to release Kylian Mbappe this season, they could add Rashford to the squad. But PSG will do nothing of the sort.

fc brentford has extended the contract with coach Thomas Frank ahead of schedule by two more years until summer 2027. this was announced by the premier league club on christmas eve. the 49-yo TF has been in his position since 2018 and led the "bees" to the premier league in 2021. the dane is thus one of the longest-serving coaches in the premier league after fc liverpool's Jürgen Klopp (since 2015) and Pep Guardiola (since 2016 at manchester city)

I think Pep Guardiola is the best coach in my side. His greatest achievement is FC Barcelona. Pep Guardiola has the most credit for Barcelona's various titles. Pep Guardiola's discovery of Barcelona's tictaka style of play, a game that no other coach has been able to demonstrate.

Other coach can't do the same thing like pep by using tic tac strategy but in other hand another coach has been finding the way to destroy tic tac strategy easily through using fully defensive strategy that will make tic tac strategy become useless.
It has proven by bayern munich so many times that was always destroying barcelona easily. I think that pep doesn't have good achievements in city

In my own opinion Chelsea only needed a good striker for their team, if they can sign Ronaldo that will be a better addition to complement Abumeyang and Broja in their attack the attack to score more goals, meanwhile in the absence of injured Kante in the midfield players like of Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Zakaria, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount and host of few others didn't do badly and infeed performed well, recall when Graham Potter was new appointed as their new manager they had a steaks of wins consistently without Kante helped by who was Kepa very brilliant at goal, they should sign Ronaldo In a matter urgency doing so will absolutely up their game and remain consistent in their subsequent matches.

Are sure with Cristiano Ronaldo is the best forward choosing for Chelsea? I don't see with Ronaldo have top performance in this season with Manchester United and his appearance with Portugal in FIFA World Cup 2022 has 1 goals scoring trough penalty kick. Better with young forward sign than Cristiano Ronaldo although have been free agent player without spent money for transfer agreement.

Chelsea still have weakness in midfielder area, after leaving by Nkante have injured for longer time, attacking midfielder still not effective right now. Having Kovacic still not enough for Chelsea get back to top performance and break out to top standing position in Primer League.

Kevin De Bruyne is an excellent player no doubt. His class made Pep to say that he is the most talented to him after Lionel Messi. He is a very key player to Manchester City but do you know that city won most of the Premier league trophies under Pep with De Bruyne mostly injured. The easiest one I could remember is the 2018/2019 season when they ranked up 100 points. If you check some important matches when Pep is losing, he introduces Gundogan in place of De Bruyne. So saying City doesn't need new players is something i don't agree to. In fact the most important player City needs to sign next summer is Jude Bellingham because Gundogan is getting old and De Bruyne can't play all matches.

Kante is an outstanding midfielder. He can do both things from defensive to attacking. It remains to be seen who will play Arsenal's midfielder instead. With Kante having a great understanding with the rest of the attacking players, any new midfielder at the moment will actually need time to settle in with the players in the team.

Chelsea will face Bournemouth in the match later. and when talking about Chelsea players. I was really surprised by Hakim ZIyech's performance in the World Cup. he can play very well. even though when he played for the Chelsea club, Hakim ZIyech was not too much of a mainstay and rarely even played as a starter. But Hakim ZIyech has proved his worth at the World Cup. and it seems that Graham Potter also acknowledged the greatness of Hakim ZIyech. But unfortunately Hakim ZIyech will not play in the match against Bournemouth. because Graham potter has to give time off for the players who have appeared in the World Cup. I hope Chelsea is fine and can perform better this season.

True, I can't believe that his performance was so extraordinary that he brought Morocco to the semifinals of WC 2022. I think it's time for Hakim Ziyech to return to Chelsea's starting line-up. Every game that Chelsea has played this season is very important even though they are against Bournemouth, it seems that they will be serious about getting points in this match, I hope that Graham Potter will still include Hakim Ziyech even though later only as a substitute, his role is very important to boost Chelsea's game.

Well, surely there will be many who are waiting for Hakim ZIyech to appear in this match. But Graham Potter has confirmed that he will give ZIyech time off. ah I just remembered that one of the Chelsea players who also played well in the World Cup was Mateo Kovacic from Croatia. but reportedly Mateo Kovacic will also not be played in the match against Bournemouth. After the great performance from Hakim ZIyech then I think in the next transfer market a lot of tim will want him.

Actually there is no fundamental reason for Graham Potter to rest his players after returning from the World Cup, because I think the time they get after the end of the World Cup is enough for them to recover physically, unless Graham Potter doesn't want his players to be in the main squad. in that match. It would be a shame if Graham Potter did not make the most of their players who shone at the Qatar World Cup, especially when they were in bad shape. Players like Hakim Ziyech could break the deadlock from Chelsea's current game. I think he should be included in the starting line-up, but it's all up to him now.

Jesus picked up an injury during the World Cup journey, which isn't good at all since Arsenal's Premier League fixtures after the World Cup will be quite competitive. It is still possible for Arsenal to occupy such a position with its current players. As a result of Gabriel Jesus' injury, Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko believes Eddie Nketiah can fill the void left by the Brazilian striker.

Is it possible for Arsenal fans to be fearless? With Gabriel Jesus absent, can Arsenal still be at the top?

Gabriel Jesus was Arsenal's best striker in my opinion.  Nketiah doesn't give me confidence.  Of course, if he can make good use of this opportunity, he will have taken an important step for himself.  For Arsenal, having Gabriel Jesus injured is one of the worst things that could happen.  They needed his skills in the tough fixture.  Let's see if he can recover as soon as possible and continue this performance again.

Kevin De Bruyne has a role as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. I liken their football styles to each other a little bit. He's everything for Manchester City. The teams that managed to stop him manage to beat Manchester City. However, there are other teammates who increase his performance. For example, Ilkay Gundogan is one of them. The harmony of these players makes the perfect passing connections of the team. Ilkay will most likely leave Manchester City at the end of the season. Kevin De Bruyne will continue to play high-level football for Manchester City for several more seasons. I think Pep Guardiola will continue to reinforce this region with young players.

There will be tough fixtures for Arsenal in January from what I have seen, Fixtures that will challenge and can stand as obstacles to them winning the league. The replacement for Gabriel Jesus has to happen quickly and it has to be someone who is a suitable replacement for the position he played in the club, plus someone who can perform same function he was performing both close to the goal and far away from goal, both when he scores and when he does not score as well. The coach of Arsenal should already have a way to ensure that the injury of one player does not make them loose the entire league.

even though nketiah doesn't make you confidence but arsenal has no other option but to play nketiah as a temporary replacement for the injured gabriel jesus, I believe it is the best decision that Odegaard can take rather than buying another attacker in next year's transfer market.

Maybe no matter how much the fans hope for Nketiah in every upcoming match, it can't be certain he will be like Gabriel Jesus, because some of the clips I watched on the YouTube channel, it seems that Nketiah needs time to become a really aggressive sticker like Haaland showed. But on the one hand, if Arteta is looking for other players, maybe it's not a good solution considering they have a number of stickers in their squad. Only what Arteta has to do is give him more playing time and give confidence to Nketiah for every upcoming match.

The title race is still quite long with many matches remaining. If Arsenal experience a drop in performance in the remaining matches this season it will be fatal for their position in the standings table because Manchester City will continue to stick to them and can even shift their ranking at the top of the standings.

De Bruyne's importance can be realized easily from his last official match with his team as well.

Manchester City played a big match against Liverpool in the EFL Cup as you know. De Bruyne was like the most performing player of the match undoubtedly. His passes and especially crosses were so successful that all of them were finding their targets. The assists to Haaland and especially Ake were amazing to watch. If you look closely to him while he is making those crosses you can see easily that it is like a usual thing for him now. He is making them like he is doing nothing difficult. This is the result of hard work of course.

In the last match in Carabao Cup against Liverpool De Bruyne was the best player of the match I guess.
His passes are really a separate art form, his last pass to the goal was as if it was not done with his foot, but as if by hand he just threw a twisted ball into the penalty area.   
Apparently now De Bruyne is at the peak of his form given his stability. Yes, the Belgian national team has not yet been able to make the world champion (but it's not his fault), but he is able to bring trophies to Manchester City. His tandem with Haaland is excellent.

I was honestly impressed with all of that display he had during the game against Liverpool after watching how he had a low performance at the FIFA World Cup with Belgium National Team.
But he should feel really good after that game against Liverpool, such a good way to come back to the Premier League, yes I know it was EFL Cup unlike how they and himself played prior to the FIFA World Cup against Brentford who trashed Manchester City.

Double beautiful in crosses from the Belgian to set up both Erling Haaland and Nathan Ake, Earlier on, Ake missed a chance which was as a result of a poor header. Pep Guardiola should be pleased with his boys.

Just look at the Premier League, De Bruyne is a top assist, he continues to provide such great crosses, especially in front of Haaland, who always succeeds as a finish. It is quite great and skilled, what De Bruyne currently has.
Manchester City are not lacking in terms of midfielders they have a lot of great midfielders including De Bruyne but he still hasn't been able to bring trophies in the UCL and yesterday at the World Cup but I think playing in and in the league is really different maybe because of other factors that could not bring his national team to go any further.
The stability and accuracy of the pass is almost perfect and that's exactly what De Bruyne has.

Kevin De Bruyne will continue to play high-level football for Manchester City for several more seasons. I think Pep Guardiola will continue to reinforce this region with young players.

In fact, the age difference between Kevin De Bruyne and Gundogan is only one year, and if indeed Gundogan can still make a big contribution to Manchester City then it seems Gundogan still deserves to get a new contract. At least for the next season Gundogan can still play well, but if indeed Manchester City have no interest in extending his contract maybe that won't be a problem.
I only think that when the player is still able to play well for the team's performance, then it will be better for Manchester City to be able to give a new contract at least to appreciate the player for having contributed to Manchester City's achievements so far.

But yes, of course as a team with good management they will be able to regenerate at the right time. Because maybe letting him go would also be good for Gundogan, because if he is kept and then more on the bench it won't be good for Gundogan either.
So yes, letting go if that is the best choice because the aim is for these players to still get a place in the main squad with their new team later, then that will also be something good and can respect one another.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great football player. His style of play is completely different from other players. He is capable of showing great skills in the midfield. His biggest asset is that he can score in seconds with a quick short.

He is the main hub in the midfield of City so yeah he is very important to the team. Furthermore, Guardiola also adjusts his role accordingly to the situation in the game so he is flexible as well so that makes him a main man in the squad. Gundo and Silva are also other two names who are crucial to the team as well but De Bruyne is really way past them in my opinion.

City have game against Leeds next and should take this one easily with a good margin.
