Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[snipie]

Leicester didn't have much money to build a team last season although they made quite a lot from the sale of Wesley Fofana to Chelsea. But as you know, Leicester didn't have very good players last season so it was difficult for them to have good results throughout the season.

Next season Leicester have to go down in caste and they have to fight there to return to the Premier League as soon as possible. I'm sure this team with a good history in England can return to the Premier League even if they have to experience lower competition next season. Maybe Leicester will strengthen their team with several new players so that they will be promoted to the Premier League again next season.

Leicester will return for sure to EPL if they could hold most of their players during this hard time and especially bring some good new players to consolidate their squad.
Winning 2015-2016 EPL title, keeping a rank among top 10 teams in the table including the 5th place for few years and end up relegating is very hard for Leicester.
Good luck for them next time.

It is time for Mikel Arteta to get busy in the transfer window as Arsenal will finally have a chance to play in the Uefa Champions League again after missing out this major tournament for such a long time. I think Mikel Arteta might need to get in better centre-back defenders as their defense does look kind of shaky whenever their opponent launch a fast counter attack resulting in Arsenal conceding goals.

Yes, that's something they have to do, because they will be in a big and competitive competition, the English League and plus the Champions League. Like it or not, they must make improvements so that their squad is stronger and more solid to navigate the coming season. They have a good squad at the moment, but I think it's still lacking, especially when they start to look like they're dropping as the competition starts to come to a close. They will definitely experience a very busy schedule, so they must prepare for this in earnest. Main players and second tier players have to be equally good, because when the schedule is busy the players usually experience fatigue which in the end they have to rest.

I think Mikel Arteta might need to get in better centre-back defenders as their defense does look kind of shaky whenever their opponent launch a fast counter attack resulting in Arsenal conceding goals.

Yep, I'm sure Arteta has thought about that. for now, he has homework to build his team stronger. in fact, Arteta could rotate Partey into defender. unfortunately, Arteta often ignores the available options when his team is experiencing some difficulties. proven, in the last two matches when Partey was rotated to become a full-back. he is able to play very well, even though we are well aware that their opponent is not a strong team. but at least, Partey can be an option for Arteta.
I also hope that Asenal releases a number of players who really cannot be relied on, some of them are Rob Holding, Fabio Vieiera. 

Well, so far I don't really know about the information that Arteta will hunt in the next summer transfer window. but one thing is for sure, they need a midfielder and some of the names they are targeting are Declan Rice and Gundohan. if these two players play with Arsenal I'm sure Arsenal's midfield will be even stronger. for defenders, rumors have it that Joao Cancelo is linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. at least, Cancelo is an ideal choice. as an Arsenal supporter, I just hope Arteta doesn't make the mistake of signing a newcomer.

[Fiatless]

The new Chelsea team members have a tonne of potential and could use more encouragement and assistance. Although switching instructors is a concern the fundamental problem is a lack of cohesive collaboration. Chelsea can solve their issues and make major advancements by building a strong team dynamic. The club dedication to fostering collaboration will probably result in more strategic transfer choices that put the success of the whole squad ahead of individual signings. We have high hopes for Chelsea forthcoming campaign as they will be led by a new manager who will work to bring them back to their former glory.

Hopefully, Chelsea can win again through its new manager next season because Chelsea is a big team that often enlivens the top ranks in the Premier League, even though in the season that has ended, Chelsea has really slumped with no consistency at all in building the team. In the next season, Chelsea needs better collaboration between players and coaches to increase their strength in undergoing a new competition and I also hope that Chelsea can get up soon when next season starts.

Coach Mauricio Pochettino has a good track record in some of the top clubs in Europe including leading Tottenham to their first UEFA Champions League final. He is well experienced and can manage any player regardless of their influence or reputation. He has all the players he needs to succeed because Chelsea invested almost half a billion dollars last season in players. This season is one of Chelsea's worst and the coach has to do a lot of work to motivate the players and restructure the team for next season.

Chelsea's fans had a very disappointing season and they will be expecting the team to come back to its winning ways. I think the benchmark for coach Pochettino should be a top-four finish. Since the team is not playing in any European competition next season, they would have to focus on the EPL. But one of the difficult tasks currently is to encourage some players to remain in the club because some of them might not be comfortable not playing in the Champions league next season.

[bitgolden]

I must say that you just expressed my mind here, most times, it's not the changing of the coach that matters in clubs but finding a way to increase the psychological issue. Forget about the fact that many of those players playing for Chelsea have good profiles, they could be demoralised as well and have lack of true will, the club needs to get it right in the way of morale. Let them start believing in themselves as a team again, the lack of this is what many clubs are paying for unknowingly. Imagine at times, they will sack a coach and the same coach will be doing well elsewhere, so it's not about them.

Also, the introduction of new players is key here, and these players must know their objective, they need to excite the dull team and see if they can bridge the link.

regarding the problems currently being experienced by Chelsea, there is only a lack of understanding between the coach and the players. and in a way if i look more greetings at this Chelsea team need new players.
because I saw several Chelsea players who seemed to be getting bored or lazy to use their strong performance in every game. so it's true that it's a waste to change coaches a few times but Chelsea's players don't have the consistency to have the desire to win any trophies.
I hope that in the new season I want to see Chelsea have some new players who are more effective and have a better performance.

Chelsea could always end up with firing or not signing back a lot of players but then use money to replace those players as well. I understand that it's not going to be simple to just expect them to be great after such a season, they spent so much and still couldn't do anything which is why a lot of people are expecting them to be terrible, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with anything bad or good, it's going to be just normal.

I know that it will not be too bad, and I know that it will be better than what we had this season, but I think even that requires a bit of change. First of all, they need to find an amazing coach, and then they need to not overspend like Arabian clubs, they need to find players that worth the money as well.

Arsenal will face a big challenge next season and regarding the competition they will be wading through, of course it will not be easy, on the other hand Mikel Arteta will definitely try to compete again with Manchester City to win back the EPL title which they previously failed to get this season. But it's not only that, sometimes Arsenal seem to lose their way in the middle of the season and they have to fix that so they can continue to win consistently.

For the champions league, I think Mikel Arteta will fight hard with his players to get through the rounds well to get better achievements because we know Arsenal were last in the champions league in the 2015/2016 season and it was a long time ago. For second-tier players, it is clear that the quality is not balanced, but for sure Arsenal will not be unable to compete with other teams to get additional ammunition for new players in the summer.

I agree on that, and I think that's one of Leicester's biggest challenges right now. Some players will be desperate to leave because they want to play in the Premier League, but if the Leicester management are able to convince their players to stay then maybe Leicester will manage to do well next season.

So far, there have been several names that have been confirmed to leave Leicester next season, so it is only true that Leicester must build their team again with the same mentality even if they have to be relegated this season.

[Avirunes]

It is time for Mikel Arteta to get busy in the transfer window as Arsenal will finally have a chance to play in the Uefa Champions League again after missing out this major tournament for such a long time.

Right now, Arsenal are waiting for UEFA Conference League final to conclude after which they will begin talks for Declan Rice. We do need to cover the space in midfield left by departure of Xhaka and I feel Rice is right piece to patch things up. Recently an interesting report has emerged which I think you will like if you are an Arsenal fan and it is about Joao Cancelo. Cancelo is been discussed as a target for this upcoming transfer window as his loan spell will expire and Bayern don't plan to trigger the buyout clause.

I think Mikel Arteta might need to get in better centre-back defenders as their defense does look kind of shaky whenever their opponent launch a fast counter attack resulting in Arsenal conceding goals.

Yes it was a worry last season as we heavily relied on Saliba and Gabriel mostly in the season. But once Saliba was injured it went on shaky after that. Kiwior has the potential the way he played. He certainly plays with certain responsibility which I like but he still has long way to go, improve and mature.

Right now according to a tweet ^[1] quoting Romano's report, Arsenal plans to sign 2 midfielders, a centre back and a full back. Declan Rice(midfielder) and Joao Cancelo(left full-back) are confirmed Arsenal targets at this point.

I think Arsenal have more than just defensive problems... I can't explain why they so stupidly lost the lead at the end of the season... I thought they could take the top spot this season, but in the last matches against the outsiders they failed to score the very important points... With a game like that they can't do well in the Champions League...

Now is the perfect time for them to improve so they can be even better in the coming season. Before the new season starts, they have a very long time to make moves, be it in the transfer market or other things that have been lacking for them this season. The adaptation process of the new coach should be enough time, they can do pre-season matches to see how far the team he has formed and re-evaluate before the competition really starts.
It's not easy for a coach to improve a team that is in a slump, it will take hard work to revive it. Chelsea are one big team, so they have to get up as soon as possible.

I think it will be difficult for Pochettino to take Chelsea to the top of the table next season even though he is one of the most experienced coaches in the Premier League. He will have to adapt his strategy at Chelsea for his maiden season and that will take a lot of time. Chelsea cannot be expected to be able to win the title as long as Manchester City are still completely able to dominate the Premier League with Pep Guardiola.

I only agree that Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United will have a tough competition next season in the top 4 of the standings apart from Manchester City. But Chelsea and Tottenham don't seem completely convinced even though they have a new manager next season.

Losing consistency when the competition is about to end is very unfortunate, because by doing so they lose the title this season which they have been fighting for since the beginning of the season. Many say that it is due to the fatigue of the players, I can agree with that, but I also cannot justify this. The reason is that they are not filled with 11 players, but they have more than 20 players. As I said before, they need to have an even squad and there is not a big gap between the ability of the main players and the reserves, so that they can anticipate anything that is not desirable to happen.

The first Champions League in their absence for so long, and now is the moment where they have to show they can compete there. Arteta and the coaching staff must have a strategy so they can say a lot in European competition.

With the existence of 2 parties who both have a strong desire to acquire Man United, I think the Glazers family has the upper hand at the moment. Therefore Glazer plays hard to get to trigger a bidding war that will certainly be more profitable for them. But this attitude can also be a boomerang for the Glazers because if they remain silent and they don't give certainty to the two bidders, I don't think the acquisition that Man United fans really want will ever materialize.

Well, I just read a tweet from Fabrizio Romano. that Sheikh Jassim made a fifth bid to buy 100% of Manchester United. this is a better offer with a clear indication : take it or leave it. thus, there will be no further bids from the Qatar group. after this Friday, Sheikh Jassim will not be involved in the process. that means, Sheikh Jassim will step down to no longer be involved in acquiring Manchester United.
So, would the Glazers give it to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and they would still own even if it was only 10%. or, there will be no deal that will happen to both parties. this is interesting, but I'm not sure if the Glazers will let it go or not.

IMO, it seems, what is emphasized by the Qatari side will make Glaszer rethink. if not, it means Glaszer will lose out on a significant profit from the sale. as you said, this will backfire for the Glaszers, if the Qatari side stops their desire to acquire Manchester United. So, do you think the Glaszer family will let him go this time? Or, they will stick with their marketing strategy.
I'm sure the Manchester United fans are very angry at the Glazer family.

It's no wonder that at the end of the season, Arsenal always make ridiculous silliness. How can you not lead the standings with confidence since the beginning of the season and even then the difference is quite far from Manchester City, but when they slip a little, then they have lost everything. There are several factors that need attention, not only in terms of their defense, but in terms of the strategy that Arteta has implemented has not changed much, as if he is already comfortable with one strategy and Arteta has forgotten that his opponent has learned. So it's no wonder they finally collapsed due to their own mistakes.

Especially against Manchester City, where Pep Guardiola knows the characteristics of Arteta game so that Pep can easily find gaps in Arsenal's open defense. Meanwhile, Arteta in the second half did not make any changes so that from the first half to the second half the distance was still the same.

[shinratensei_]

Of course, we cannot fully blame Jamie Vardy for Leicester's failure, because Jamie Vardy himself is very old because he is 36 years old. I think it's time for Jamie Vardy to retire at this age because after all, as an attacker at least Jamie Vardy must have a physically fit and fast movement. Thus, Leicester's failure this season I think is partly due to Leicester's own management who do not have the right plan to recruit players. Due to the lack of recruitment of new players, Leicester's performance also could not develop for the better and this had a direct impact on the poor results in the matches they played.

Football being played by eleven players and it's not only vardy who has been playing it. It will be ashame if people were blaming him caused by it's the fault from whole of players in the club. The coach might become a better party that must be blamed but since leicester has been relegated to the championship and nice try for leicester city. I expect something better from leicester city next season. Leicester must accept if it must have won championship to get back again to the EPL.

Leicester city will be selling some players soon.

[CryptoBuds]

I think this is the best step by having a new manager for Chelsea at the start of the season and it also seems that Pochettino may need time to be able to revive Chelsea next season to become a club that is respected by other clubs, Chelsea's rise from adversity depends on how Pochettino chooses players in the team squad Chelsea.

I would say that only changing the coach cannot be a solution. The coach should be allowed to work independently. And at the same time, the coach should be given the opportunity to form the team according to his choice. For this Chelsea management should prepare big funds and get the required talented players in the team. While Chelsea's squad is strong, the bonding between their players is very weak. Although the coach has changed several times, the bond between the players has not strengthened. So Chelsea's performance was poor. This is why Chelsea should look for new players.

I think allowing the coach to work according to his own decisions without any distraction will also transform the team very well just as we  can see in other top club, this is one of the challenge previous coaches experienced and no doubt it affected the club performance badly.
 If Chelsea management can do things rightly the way it is suppose to be done, I don't think the team will be repeating the same bad experience in the next season. Chelsea working with coach like Pochettino I hope things will not be the same like before.

If Chelsea management does not allow the coach to work independently, we cannot expect a good performance from this team. And at the same time, Chelsea's squad needs a change of players. They have been playing together for a long time, but the understanding between the players has not improved. And if the same players stay next season, Chelsea's performance will not be much better. Chelsea management has appointed a new coach. Now they have to spend a lot of money to build the team. If they don't spend money then their performance will be erratic next season too.

It's quite funny if this is only the fault of one of the players, even though in the initial conditions we also realized that their financial condition had worsened and they couldn't bring in the players who were expected to help and the sale of players was not carried out which made the coach at that time a little not too happy with what was done. management.
On the other hand blaming a player when a bad club is childish. but it really seems like this is commonplace because in Ligue 1 PSG is like that  which makes me lack respect for statements like that because they only see from an angle that according to them deserves to be blamed.

Expectations from the Gunners, now is not the time to play around, the players must demonstrate excellent performance in games, just like they did this season, their performances was a surprise to everyone, and they will need the same energy to compete next season. However, Mikel Arteta, the coach, will not tolerate excuses or sluggish efforts. He needs all of his players to perform well, and he has set aside a substantial sum for the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are back in the Champions League, with a tough competition ahead, and the fans are ecstatic and cheering because they are glad to be back in UCL football.

His intention this season was indeed not wrong because regardless of anything he also wanted conditions where Chelsea played directly with the best conditions after a very big problem occurred internally at Chelsea so he wanted to fix it quickly with the money he had but in this case nor did he realize that his haste could get him into trouble in the end.
Todd's way of things is like a gamble and when he's on the wrong foot then the season is at stake. this was proven when actually Tuchel's dismissal seemed very hasty as well. several purchases of players that do not match the portion of needs because they are based on the desire to destroy them and this must be taken into consideration so that he thinks more about all kinds of consequences for himself in the future so that Chelsea's performance is much better than this season.

Right and I mean there is nothing wrong per se when you dismiss a coach although I still don't understand it, but when you dismiss Tuchel you also have to have a proper replcement of the same calibre. That was the biggest problem I saw. They dismiss Tuchel and then bring on a name that I almost never heard of I think, then they buy loads of players with big names and then the coach hasn't even ever coached any big names. The whole concept seemed to be faulty right from the start and that surprised me because the guy has all the money in the world and he could have contracted not only players, but also top advisors and a top coach accordingly. He wanted to prove something that he wasn't capable of doing. Now we know the result and this is going to take at least a year to correct.

As i said before, he is trying to change all the forms of plot that have been made in his own heyday and if you really look at some of the rumors about Tuchel's dismissal, even though they are still confusing, there is a condition where the compatibility between him and Tuchel is not going well. He has power and of course he can do anything even though indeed in this case we have to be aware and criticize that his decision was a mistake but indeed again this is his club and he will not budge with criticism like that.
Now he has to start again from the beginning and rush is a problem Todd has to fix for himself at least he has to be able to reflect on himself in this matter because if things like this continue then Chelsea will still be the same as this season.

But the soccer scene is well aware that Tuchel isn't a coach who is easy to handle and follows all instructions without thoroughly thinking them through and making up his own mind. If you decide to be his boss, it is obvious that he is not going to be some sock puppet following instructions blindly. I assume that Boehly is the kind of guy who wants maximum power and who wants to be the man when things work out and then he receives all the praise. In this case his plan clearly didn't pan out as he fired a coach that other big clubs were after and then instead replaced him with a nobody.
