Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

All the drama they also had with Ronaldo, now it is totally quiet in Manchester and you don't read any crazy headlines anymore. I was just wondering what Ronaldo would think when Manchester United wins the title? It would be a funny story. But I think he wouldn't care too much after signing that contract...

Already let him receive a lot of money in Saudi Arabia. His arrival at Mancester United from the start has made me doubt he can't develop because he is old. It proved to be just a burden on the team. The decision to leave made the players more comfortable without pressure under Ronaldo's star stamp.

For what he remembers that, he should focus on Saudi Arabia. He had to prove the purchase he was useful. Because I've seen in the last two games he's only seen being able to contribute to the Team. Currently, Man United is one of the teams that is a candidate for the championship because of the mistakes of Man City and Arsenal.

The problem has never been his age at that point. The problem was Ronaldo's behavior and requirements. That was the real problem. If he had been a real team player, it could have worked out for both the whole team and for him individually, but he decided to act like a king. He has really shown his real character. Everyone knows how he behaves usually, but he has never been under pressure like that before and he was never put on the bench and was forced to pursue his chances. But truth be told, he got his chances and he failed to use them for his own good. Just watch him when someone from his team scores a goal. He doesn't even enjoy it.

Yes I also think Ronaldo would care less, he is also having a good time and enjoying life at Saudi Arabia with his family and new teammates. I don’t think  he has the time to think and worry about Manchester United improving after his departure but surely people will talk as usual and critics will begin to go round on the internet again. Manchester United fans are excited because they won a few games and Rashford is netting goals, they suddenly want to bring Ronaldo topic back again to the surface as the cause of their problem.

Well, Ronaldo is still a legend for MU even though this season has been a bitter season for Ronaldo. It seems Ronaldo will not return to England again, reportedly the house he owns in Manchester will be sold. In Saudi Arabia Ronaldo has also been able to smile again, he is enjoying playing with Al-Nassr. Together with Al-Nassr he also showed again the ability to score, from 4 matches, he has scored 5 goals. MU has also been able to compete again for the EPL title, Opportunities for MU are open with a 5 point difference with the top of standing, even according to @mv1986 this will be funny, but the opportunity is still there. Really Win Win solution for both Ronaldo and MU

The situation puts more pressure on Graham Potter to get positive results. I really can’t say what could possibly be the problem. I am beginning to agree with the crowd that say Potter is not good and experienced enough to manage Chelsea because they have a good squad and yet no positive results.

Graham already agreed to become chelsea's coach and so he shall not have problem to dealt with big pressure that came for him. I think that it's his responsibility to bring the club into the right way but it seems like potter failed to do that.
Chelsea was even going even deeper in EPL. Graham potter being paid to bring good achievements for chelsea. He has not paid to make the club lose even more points. Potter was just amateur coach that never managed big clubs before.
I don't know how stupid todd was picking him in the early season to replace tuchel.

[rendravolt]

Arsenal will face Leicester and Everton next, those games will matter a lot because those games could see them back at the top again which will be awesome for them, I am not saying that it is going to end up being wins, maybe they will win both, maybe they will lose both, I can't really say. But the looks of it is that they truly need 6 points out of this and can't lose a single game, even if City drops points here, they still need to win just in case.

Arsenal will have a hard time keeping that leadership, just one game away from losing that, they really need to do better and hopefully they could, they just need to focus very much so on premier league games.

Arsenal are now at the top of the table and only 2 points away from Manchester City. I think the next game against Leicester will be a challenge in itself for Mikel Arteta's squad, because they have to steal 3 points at home to Leicester later. Moreover, Leicester, who just lost to Man United, it seems that they are not ready enough to fight Arsenal, which is ranked 1st in the standings so far.

So, when Arsenal take on Everton, it looks like it will be an arena for revenge for Arsenal because previously we know that Everton managed to beat Arsenal with a narrow score of 1-0 in early February. So I think in the next two matches, Arsenal will still win and will continue to widen their distance from Manchester City.

Ronaldo thinks he is better then the teams he plays for and he thought he was bigger then the team this time. He always thought that way and I think that is something that makes him great because he has confidence but it was only good when he could back up those claims. When he played for Manchester United in his younger age he was a better player and did carry the team in some games but his mentality is toxic and he could not carry to team any more because he is not the same player. I think he still thinks he is good as he was when he first played for Manchester United and that is why he fell out with the manager and the backroom players. Removing him from the team was the best option and it might look like we kicked 1 of our legends out of the team but he brought it on himself by thinking he was the most important thing at the team.

He is a legend and I will forever remember the glory days with Ronaldo but like any other Manchester United fan I will try to forget the last 2 years because it is a stain on the reputation of Ronaldo and how he treated his team mates and team.

I'm puzzled by Chelsea's recent performance under Potter. Potter is unable to lead the team despite having all the resources and talent. Chelsea's home loss to Southampton highlights their poor form, prompting us to question its reason.

Why Potter? Why did he disappoint? Chelsea's league struggles are distressing. The team's poor performances highlight their potential, which frustrates fans.

As faithful Chelsea fans, we must urge Boely to immediately replace Potter with a better coach. Failing to do so might ruin the club. We must aim for perfection like Chelsea, not mediocrity. For our favorite team, let us demand action from the club.

The average Chelsea squad has good quality players, Chelsea built a squad quite well in the summer window and winter transfer window. Chelsea only weakness in the boehly era was sacking tuchel and showing Graham potter instead. I understand that Boehly has a good relationship with Graham Potter, but will he have stronger patience when he sees Chelsea swallow defeat after defeat.

The defeat from of the bottom occupants of the standings simply exacerbated the situation that occurred in the Chelsea squad, even up to week 23 Chelsea still remained in 10th place in the standings.

Tottenham have been impressive although not consistent but I give them some credit for struggling to win games especially in this rough times when the head coach Antonio Conte is absent due to illness. The way the team managed to face games and still give their all is amazing. The fact that Tottenham are now in top four position is remarkable.

[AverageGlabella]

Some Clubs are bigger than some managers for them to manage, Which I do think is the situation and problem with Graham Potter and the Chelsea football club right now.
The owner Todd Boely has done his best in giving Potter time even when Fans started yelling for his sack but he choosed to keep him, have also done well in providing him with the needed funds in order to boost the team.
Potter hasgotten good players into the team and yet nothing has beginning to Change as regards to Chelsea form and improved performance.

Potter had some good success with Brighton and I think a lot of people wanted him to go to Chelsea after Lampard failed at the task. Potter was over achieving at Brighton at the time but it seems it was more the players that Brighton had then Potter because Brighton have continued the success they were having with Potter and Potter is struggling. I do not think Potter will have the job in the summer I think they are just riding out this season because the options are limited until the summer. Contracts normally expire in the summer so there should be more managers to choose from. Any new manager that gets hired cannot buy any players any way so they would just be using the same tactics and players it is best to wait until the summer when they will have a pre season and their own players and staff.

I think with the current situation at chelsea and “luck” not being on their side, I’d say Tottenham have a better chance to win in this meeting especially with the fact that Spurs will be playing at home. We saw how difficult it was for Manchester City when they played Tottenham at home and they lost. I am expecting Tottenham to have the same result against Chelsea.

I don't even think so. Luck didn't play as a thing that determine the result by chelsea in this case. I think that once people will aware about if graham potter was making some bad rotations. If luck was a part from the reason why chealsea was getting so many lose streak and it didn't seem to be right thing. chelsea was losing 10 times. Almost all of these loses were also making zero goals. It's very pathetic to say that if chelsea in the same level as mediocre team right now.

Nothing has changed since they made a big Transfer? Those who handpicked Potters, and they had to accept the risks. When I traced his best achievements, I didn't find. Four matches without a win. Perhaps they should start choosing to prepare for the next season if Potter does not have a clear development. Maybe Zidane or Pocthino are good coaches, they could be good options in my opinion.

Potter's performance has indeed been very poor, he’s won one game out of 10 consecutive matches. The only win they had was against Crystal palace with just a goal difference, not even a comfortable win at that. It's so bad and it seems Todd Boehly is willing to exercise patience with Potter this time but for how long before they lose patience and fire Potter.

It remains to be seen how much their loyalty to Potter will be tested if results don’t improve in the short-term. But one thing I’m sure of is the fact that if Chelsea, who are winless in their previous five, don’t climb the table soon then the pressure on Potter will intensify heading into the final weeks of the season. But for now, the owner needs to stick with Potter. It’s not an easy job getting result from a squad of new players who haven’t blended. Things like this takes time and negative results might be part of it.

I think at least Potter will stay until the end of this season if what Chelsea is showing doesn't improve.
Chelsea is in the top 10 of the table now, but if the game doesn't improve it could take them even deeper down.
hopefully, Chelsea can survive at least in the mid-table until the end of the season. and they can start next season better, I hope there will be a change of coach.

Well the best bet for Chelsea is to allow Potter manage the team till the end of the season, though the club is not doing well now in term of scoring goals, personally I will attribute the club failure partly to ill luck and hurriedly assembled new players who might needed some time to blend together to form a formidable squad, recall Chelsea signed a lot of players this January and having watched most of their matches both UCL and EPL the team isn't performing badly in term of possession only their final third has not been very effective, however once the team resume their winning mentality they would surely remain consistent.

Potter should be replaced if possible ASAP. How will you have good players and they can't win just one game in four straight matches,this sucks. Ball possession is not what counts in football points counts, and goals brings points. If a strong club gains all the dominance and ball possession in a match, and the weak club managed to score a goal. That weak club wins the match.

From my own perspective, after observing the performance of Chelsea in various matches,I think Chelsea football club is too big for Porter to coach. Brighton is a small club compared to Chelsea that was why,he was doing well there. I just hope Chelsea gets through this unlucky period soon.

Chelsea, they are trying to transfer many players into the team and they are spending lots of money for these players but from what we can see on the league and many other matches from Chelsea they are not playing well enough and they definitely have technical problems so we can be sure that Potter is going to leave Chelsea very soon maybe they can spend some more money and hire a better coach but I don't think if they will replace Potter anytime soon before the season ends.

actually it's not a problem to bring up the topic that cristiano ronaldo was one of the causes of MU's decline at the start of the season because of ronaldo's high ego (he considers himself higher than MU). ten hag changed MU's game to be much better and in control and what he did prove to be effective because currently MU is in 3rd place in the EPL temporary standings and has great potential to shift the position of man city (which is in 2nd position).

with the many extraordinary young talents that Chelsea currently has, I think Pochettino is a coach who would be suitable to train Chelsea. Potter doesn't have a good mix of strategies, there's no reason to keep him at Chelsea.

There was no other reason for Chelsea officials other than taking the risk of the quick decision taken when replacing Tuchel with Potter, Chelsea appearance had not improved since Potter arrival. Chelsea officials have tried to improve the team's performance by bringing in several new players, but Potter has not been able to bring Chelsea out of their slump.
Now Chelsea are under pressure, being ranked 10th is not a good achievement for a team like Chelsea. Potter future at Chelsea is increasingly unclear, if he is unable to improve Chelsea performance it is likely that he will be fired soon.

The only option really has to replace Potter, I know he still wants to prove to the fans but if it continues with bad results then this is not a good choice to keep a coach who really doesn't match the capacity Chelsea wants. Actually, there is no reason for Chelsea to be in a bad zone because they have quality players. Only one thing was out of sync, namely Potter was not able to develop the skills of the players. So that it looks monotonous, with not much aggression in the midst of intense competition.

There was a situation where Graham Potter was not immediately fired even though his team's performance was very bad this season.
Chelsea only needs to evaluate Graham Potter's performance at the end of the season and consider terminating his contract if Chelsea have deviated from what was expected. Obviously this allows Potter to spend the rest of the season at Chelsea and work on building a more solid side.

It's hard to build better team when the players don't like him anymore, maybe that was Potter's complaint off the pitch although we don't know exactly what he went through. Indeed, things have become more difficult for Potter because Chelsea have spent lot of money in the transfer market but his form has not improved.
