Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[ShowOff]

it didn't take them long to change this because the average Chelsea player was full of pretty good quality. potter should be able to take advantage of this in managing the game strategy for Chelsea players. because only a good strategy will be able to bring Chelsea in a better direction.

Remember, the more quality players you have in a team, the more you are required to make them play well without mistakes. Now the question is, can Graham Potter do it? Obviously for me it's difficult because so far I don't really see Potter as smart coach and able to manage big team to be convincing.

Tood boehly has spent quite a lot of money in signing high quality players in this last summer window and this winter window .so if potter fails to do a good job then he will be the subject of criticism in the upcoming match.

Of course it would be a waste if Potter failed, but if I had to say it was Potter who deserved to be replaced not massive squad reshuffle like this. But for whatever, Potter still has time on his contract to prove himself for the rest of the season, but I think it's been really hard for him.

[shogun47]

It looks like Chelsea will need time to get better. They have made really good transfers but it will take some time for all of these players to have a good chemistry with the team. If Potter build a good game plan with a lineup including the new players then hopefully Chelsea's results will get better in time. Of course they won't be finishing the season at a decent position but there is nothing to do about this anymore. They should have been able to revive themselves earlier not to be late for some things.

Chelsea already did a good decision by signing some young players with great skills. But they need time to play solidly and show their best forms. It is always difficult for new players to play at their best form in the early journey of their new club. So, Mykhaylo Mudryk, João Félix, and Enzo Fernández need a few matches to adapt to their new teammates and new tactics. Chelsea fans must be patient, Potter will try his best to optimize the potential of the new players. With some new good players, Potter should have a chance to improve Chelsea position on the table.  

Some players that were bought by chelsea were only less than two weeks old in the club. Those players need time to adapt to the club and build chemistry. I think that people are judging so fast to expect huge things to come from those young players as soon as possible. This is football when you were seeing 11 players playing the game together against another team. The draw that happened against fulham has been showing chelsea is starting to build its team. I saw some golden opportunities but the only old player like harvertz that's pretty much useless.
Why were people always blaming players for the bad result? The draw is not actually bad caused by the club has not yet lost

Maybe in case of Chelsea the patience has come to an end to a certain degree because of players like Werner or Havertz or Lukaku and even Pulisic. Chelsea has spent huge amounts of money on all those players and also paid huge salaries, but none of these players could convince on the pitch for a longer period of time. If you sum up all those mistakes that have been done in signing new players that are supposed to strengthen the squad, I think it is comprehensible that people are now pushing for results even faster. That might be somewhat irrational because I agree that players need their time. But you do have other examples like Haaland who justifies the theory "big money - big player". Chelsea doesn't have infinite shots left.

I am curious whether they are going to stick to Potter when they really fail to qualify for the Europa League.

The Football Association Challenge cup isn't necessary to Arsenal, but it would have been at it been they won, lol!
 Arsenal's lineup and performance show how seriously they wanted to qualify for the next round of the FA cup. They played out their best but the luck wasn't just on their side, and Such is football. Now it is left for them to do everything possible by making sure that they secure more points and lead the table throughout the remaining half of the season.

This defeat was expected days before the game when you see the big difference in odds between the two clubs. Arsenal tried to win but failed while City will try to get something this season. Arsenal in the other hand, have a main objective which is EPL. In the other competitions, no injury strategy

Arsenal did very properly in the sport in opposition to Manchester City even if they lose to Manchester City. It was once no longer an convenient win for Manchester City, when two difficult groups meet from time to time prevailing is through good fortune and it will be a sport that is difficult to predict which is expected that any of the group will win. This is now not definitely a lose for arsenal, what arsenal is focused on is to get greater points to be in a position to win the Premier league this season.

Well it cannot be denied that Arsenal is a very strong team, maybe now with the Man City did not have that consistency, remember that it is the Man City that has been dominated many competitions, and such Vz the arsenal is being concentrated in the EPL , which I see as a noble and necessary objective, however we cannot forget what the Pepe has for Man City, despite what some ups and downs continue to maintain that hierarchy and that leaders The strongest, are demonstrating it, and this is good, they are saying that they are present that they want to win everything that is being traced.

It looks like Chelsea will need time to get better. They have made really good transfers but it will take some time for all of these players to have a good chemistry with the team.

What happens is that many think that because they brought new players they are going to be a great team, and maybe, the only one I saw playing a lot and who doesn't need to adapt to anything is Enzo, I saw him very free, in fact I It reminded me of when I used to play on the street, with that confidence and ease, he adapted to me very quickly and apart from that he was the best player of the game for me.

I think many say that because they have great players they shouldn't lose more, but not all players have the same ease as Enzo, there are others who need to comply with a leadership scheme, but that is a matter of 1 or 2 weeks, I think the Chelsea's next game will be very different and better.

Chelsea set to lose world class midfielder to Madrid after the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica

N’Golo Kante’s time at Chelsea could end with reports that he is eyeing a move to Atletico Madrid in the summer.

Kante remains one of the best midfielders in the world but he’s barely played this season due a hamstring injury that made him miss the World Cup in Qatar as France reached the final but ultimately lost to Argentina.

Chelsea fans adore the midfielder for many reasons- but the arrival of Argentine World Cup winner Enzo Fernjandez means the French man’s days at Stamford Bridge are numbered due to his injury record and age.

I don't want to leave without mentioning Liverpool. I don't know how much more time we can give this team to recover. They are literally not on the field. Wolverhampton managed to get 3 points with a perfect game. Actually, they could have scored more goals, but they missed a lot of opportunities.

I don't know what the difference is between last year's Liverpool and this year's Liverpool. Sadio Mane has left the team. Nunez was transferred to replace Mane. Apart from this, an important player did not go to another team. The coach is the same person. His tactics are the same this year. However, the team is getting very bad results this year. I looked at Nunez's statistics. He created more positions than Sadio Mane. Yes, he is not as talented a finisher as Sadio Mane, but the change of a single player should not affect the team that much. Why is everything going so badly for them, I wonder too.

Sadio Mane was not a regular scorer. But he would help stabilize the team. Sadio Mane helps strengthen the bond between the midfield and forward players. Hence Sadio Mane's sudden departure from the team, adversely affected Liverpool's performance. The coach should have found a suitable replacement for Mane and then sold Mane. But the coach didn't do it. Second, Liverpool signed Nunez as a replacement for Sadio Mane. Nunez and Sadio Mane play completely different styles. Liverpool's poor performance is due to a few small mistakes.

[Renampun]

I take it this is ironic?
The fact that European football is riddled with corruption, financial fraud and, in general, is the most crappy business has long been clear. I don't know what is the reason for the surge of these new accusations, but I think that, as before, everything will end in a farce and the City will not be punished.

If the charges laid against them is true, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be punished. They’ve engaged in a fraudulent act and have had a successful season after season all along. If they’re not being punished for this, they’re encouraging other teams to partake in such and this is very detrimental to the world of football. No one should be above the law, no matter how big/small, or successful or not the club is.

Pep Guardiola said emphatically, if it is proven that Man City has committed fraud then he is the first person to leave there. actually this is still a big topic of conversation in the world of football because we know that there are strong people behind this case. I also agree with you, if cases like this are allowed then other teams will most likely follow in Man City's footsteps.

Chelsea already did a good decision by signing some young players with great skills. But they need time to play solidly and show their best forms. It is always difficult for new players to play at their best form in the early journey of their new club.

Chelsea fans must be patient, Potter will try his best to optimize the potential of the new players. With some new good players, Potter should have a chance to improve Chelsea position on the table. 

buying players but not buying a potential coach, I think it's just as useless. see what MU did, they immediately moved quickly to buy ten hags who were successful in making Ajax a strong team. if Chelsea only sticks to potter all the time, then there's no point in spending money buying players but the coach's strategy is bad.

Liverpool boss, Jurgen klopp misses Sadio Mané in his squad. The Senegalese was one of the key frontline in the team, which his presence aides the higher goal scoring chances, although Mané was not too opportune with scoring goals, but his footings into his opponents box have yields more good winning results for the team. He was not a greedy player as he always gives curcial assists to Robert Firmino and Mohammed Salah upfront. Letting him exit the team without a good replacement was one of the top mistake made by Klopp and he's regretting it till today. Darwin Nunez is a good player but not a replacement for Mané, Nunez is not good with footings on the ball, all his pattern is side football and running.

It needs to be proven first. City will be given the time to self-defend from whole of accusations that were coming to the club. Pep may be feeling so bad with it. I want to see how many points will be deducted if city has proven to did shady jobs to avoid FFP.

The serious problem is city was also doing it hundreds of times. That being said that city was doing shady things since 2009-2018.

There are some sanctions that potentially faced by city

1. Points deduction

2. Degradation to the lower division.

3. all of titles have been winninig by manchester city during 2008 - 2018 will be revoked.  

This gonna be a serious problem for sure but that will give manchester united and liverpool more EPL trophies.

When Liverpool allowed Mané to depart the team, they made serious errors. The board would simply have boosted his pay and presented him with a significant contract offer, which he would not reject. Sadio Mané has long provided good service to the squad in all facets, both during league games and the Champions League, where he excelled. He has saved the team from severe defeat several times. These players are uncommon in the elite league, thus when one is identified, it should be retained in a team that is safe and reserved.

Liverpool are pretty in a bad shape this season and they're experiencing one of the worst form. The red's fans are so unhappy in anfield especially whenever they lost heavily to mediocre teams in league games. Sad and poor performance from the players who are reluctant on the pitch. The previous game was a total disappointment for Jurgen klopp and his players, losing to wolves 3 nil is such an embarrassed defeats and they aimed to bounced back stronger probably in their next game, but I don't think their losing era is ending anytime soon.

With consecutive league losses, the reds are currently going through one of their most tough phases. They still have a very long way to go in the Premier League, and there are rumors that Jurgen Klopp will be fired. However, he is one of the team's longest-serving coaches, so the board cannot simply remove him for serious mistakes the team has made. Instead, the performance of the team was greatly impacted by poor signings, not by the coach. Most of the team's major players, who will soon be returning to games, have been impacted by injuries and the team's poor judgment to acquire substandard players.

[harapan]

but as this loss has started coming in I don't think Asernal will be able to sustain it competency to stay at the number 1 spot.

It a normal thong for a team to drop points, so its no different from Arsenal. People are worried about Arsenal because we've seen them lose form at the most crucial moment of the league so many times before. I don't thin this season would be like that for them. They are highly motivated and a single loss wont change that. I guess what happened in that game is that they were unlucky to play Everton when they just got a new manager. The Man City also favors Arsenal. If Man City had won it would have placed a lot of pressure on Arsenal.

Liverpool performance this season has been a shock to many fans including myself. I thought by now things will be different as they did some signings in the transfer window but it looks like none of these transfer worked because the performance of the club has kept on dropping and now they're below Chelsea which they were ahead of before now.

Liverpool losing to both Brighton and wolves back to back is very disturbing and that wolves game was one of the poorest for Liverpool this season. Losing three goals and having no reply isn't something Liverpool is known for and something has to be done by the coach or he should resign.

[Despairo]

After seeing Arsenal lose against Everton,
Jorginho: First mission completed

If you still remember David Luiz is a superstar when he was play for Chelsea, but when he joined Arsenal, his performance is really bad and it make Arsenal position fall to 8th position lol. Many people are trolling Jorginho will be like David Luiz, if in the end of the season the champion isn't Arsenal, the other club should thankfully for Chelsea since Jorginho joining Arsenal in order to ruin Arsenal through internal

Most clubs in England always underrate foreign player. English players are overrated and overpaid but these clubs give peanuts to too class players from other countries. The same thing happened to Chelsea when allowed Claude Makélélé to leave the club. They had to struggle to get a defensive midfielder to do his dirty job. Sadio Mane was not given the right attention he deserved and the club let him go assuming that all will be well, even Virgil van Dijk during an interview stated that the club will be stronger without the Senegalese. But today it is clear that they would have kept the striker atleast for this season until a replacement is signed.

Jurgen Klopp recently acknowledged that they made the wrong decision because the attacking combination of  Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo is not bring the desired result. I am predicting that Chelsea might suffer the same regret if the allow the presumed injury prone N'Golo Kante.

I don't remember exactly when Liverpool had really bad season apart from 14/15 & 15/16. At that time Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League because they only finished in 6th & 8th positions. But I don't know whether Liverpool will repeat that bad history again or not, but it looks like they seem to be getting closer to the fact that they will find it difficult to reach the threshold of the Champions League this season.

So far Liverpool have only won 8 of 20 matches, meanwhile they have lost 7 and draw 5. Liverpool have only collected 29 points so far and they have to be in 10th place in the standings with 28 conceded. I don't think they are going to win the other 18 match this season with this kind of form, and the position they may be fighting for is the threshold for qualifying for the Europa League, even that is difficult.

 Is really laughable because all the players Chelsea gave to Arsenal has not played the way they have in times of playing for the blues, now is Jorginho, a guy I never expected to wear the jersey of Arsenal. Well it doesn't matter if he wears it or not but I can beat my chest that with the incredible form Arsenal is now they can win the EPL title, for them to be the top leaders up till this time then with the arrival of Jorginho it will never have any negative impact on their title race.
 Don't be surprised that he'll even play out his best whenever he's given the opportunity to showcase what he have left and we shouldn't use one game to judge a play, it will shock many fans that he'll become a champion at the end of the season.

[Sebas.tian]

My feat concerning arsenal is that they shouldn't lose their game again.  Let it not be that the lose to Everton is the beginning of their problem.  I just hope their games should just be the way it has been before they met Everton . Everton really gave Arsenal a tough game .

Arsenal still has additional games to play, and it's conceivable that they will win, draw, and lose a few of them(They won't win all like before). Other clubs require their wins in the same way that Arsenal does to maintain its league-leading position.
The league is becoming more fascinating and competitive, and no club wants to remain near the bottom of the standings without making an effort to win games.

I think, there is a hope for Arsenal to get it right in their remaining matches because their coach has discovered what made Everton to defeated them last match which he has pleased with Arsenal fans that such thing will not happen again till the end of this tournament. I think, Manchester city and Arsenal are in a good position to drag this premier league title in final, because the two teams has displayed well to maintain a good position in this season. If Arsenal coach can introduce new strategies before their next match, I think they will not experience loss from the match.

[Iroh]

That is also my fear for Arsenal this season because from the start of the season, Arsenal have been on high alert in all their games and that has built Asernal motivation for a while now, but as this loss has started coming in I don't think Asernal will be able to sustain it competency to stay at the number 1 spot.
*But luck was on Asernal side because Manchester city who was supposed to replace Arsenal's spot also lost their match over the weekend.

They have just lost a game to Everton. That does not mean they have started down the losing streak and definitely doesn’t mean that the loss has started coming in. Every team irrespective of how strong they are loses matches too. I don’t think the loss has started coming in for Arsenal. They still play very good football and were just unlucky in the last match against Everton.
Like Arsenal, Manchester City also lost their game, would we also say that they’re going down and the loss has started coming in? I guess not.

[Falconer]

At least this is what Manchester City's statement reads regarding its alleged violations in the Premier League.

CLUB STATEMENT

CLUB STATEMENT

Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.

The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.

As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.

I don't really know what's wrong with them, but that seems to be pretty surprising to me so far. I think they've been fine so far, but apparently there's a lot of issues out there to work out.

But my focus right now is not on their internal problems, but on Manchester City's next game against Aston Villa.
Manchester City cannot afford to drop any more points before their meeting with Arsenal. That meant Manchester City had to win their home game against Aston Villa, but they said; LESCOTT: 'WE CAN'T DROP POINTS BEFORE ARSENAL'

Since then, the Midlands side have changed manager with Unai Emery taking charge, and Houghton expects them to provide a tough test.

“With the new manager coming in they will be a lot more organised and lot more structured,” she said.

Arsenal might have lost to Everton but that doesn’t mean they’ll also lose their next game against Brentford at home. It’s no news that Arsenal's trips to Goodison Park or anywhere on Merseyside have ended in misery for some time now. Also New manager bounce is quite a thing.
Everyone is waiting for Manchester waiting to kick in to be the Team that we know so well. But with the way they’ve been playing this season just feels like this might be the season that they're just not quite themselves, for lots of different reasons. Arsenal wil extend the gap when they beat Brentford at the Emirates this weekend and I’m sure about that.
