Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

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.

As the owner and has a large financial, then of course Todd Boehly can do anything quickly for the purpose of success, of course. But sadly, it seems like Todd Boehly didn't do it with good judgment and maybe it's just about the desire to sack and bring in new ones quickly but in reality, the move he took was a wrong step. So yes, with the failures this season, Todd Boehly should have had more careful planning, because even though he has good finances, but if he makes the wrong choice then of course he will also fail and it will not be easy to achieve success.

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.

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...

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.

Personally I will attribute poor Arsenal performances towards the end of the season to lack quality players in their defence and midfield in the absence of Saliba due injury greatly affected the team, Holding who replaced him was very poor defensively and Kiwior too was an average defender, at their left back Zinchenko is attack minded player but poor defensively, while in their midfield Thomas Partey was very prone to injury and errors and wouldn't make any impact and exert his authority at their midfield in most games same with Xhaka and from all indications the duo are leaving the club to give space for Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo major target of Arteta.

It's really unfortunate that Leicester City are getting relegated this season to championship division after 8 years of competing in the premier league, it is also disappointing having to lose key players due to this drop and I am a bit surprised to hear Maddison is leaving the club because a player of Maddison's calibre will be sought for by top teams which makes a departure very likely to happen.

there is so much that needs to be fixed in the Chelsea team, the players currently owned by Chelsea are indeed good players but among the players they don't have strong chemistry and they also have to find an experienced coach to overshadow next season.

The only way which I know that Chelsea problem can be solved is buy getting new players, it's not only about getting experienced player's, I know Chelsea really need expirenced coach, but they also need to change most of their player's, Chelsea spent so much money on buying worthless player's, Chelsea player's lack cooperation, if Chelsea can get young talented player's It will be better for them.

this season is very bad for Chelsea, they are stranded in the middle of the Premier League standings and they are the team that has changed the most coaches in 1 season, maybe this can be a lesson for them to improve and be better next season.

I was always ashamed whenever Chelsea played toward the end of last season, even clubs that didn't deserve to win Chelsea were winning, Chelsea was just like a bonus team that every club was winning, I just hope their new coach can fix things in the club before the next season starts.

I love Erik Ten Hag approach to management of Manchester United. When he first came he never wanted anyone to distract him. Even when Ronaldo wasn't available and agents making moves for his transfer, he never bothered. He tried to discover one weakness of the team which was laziness and he immediately worked on that and made the boys to be playing high pressing football. He us very dedicated and ambitious, that is why he is getting results. Manchester United should give him more few quality signings and watch him lift the EPL title.

Erik Ten Hag does have firmness in every rule that he applies where the main thing is the discipline of his foster children in heeding the rules that he has implemented. It's not half-hearted if one of them violates this then the punishment will immediately be given to both the players. Thus Erik Ten Hag performance in his first season with Manchester United was quite impressive because Erik Ten Hag was able to bring Manchester United to finish in the top 3 this season. Even though this is quite impressive in Manchester United appearance this season, they need to overhaul the squad in the transfer market, where Erik needs several players who have good quality to support their performance next season, especially in the Champions League.

Manchester United return to the top of the standings seems to indicate that the Red Devils will be a team to be reckoned with next season. Manchester United only needs a sticker who has a good mentality in scoring goals in every game and that is the job that Erik has to do in the transfer market.

Erik Ten Hag is known for making players have hard pieces of training and he is famous for asking for hard work from players.
He is not a coach to let players have easy days when they lose a game, for example in the game against Liverpool when Manchester United lost the game, he made players watch them and that's how he punished the players.
Maybe that's why he had a good effect on this team after he joined there.

Maybe he applied business solutions from other types of business to football (which was wrong), maybe he thought that what Abramovich did, and then the sheikhs with City (fill everything with money) will work. But what worked before will not necessarily work now, plus his purchases were chaotic, and the coach's figure is less serious than in both examples I gave. It will be interesting to see his further decisions - Chelsea will have a whole season to "recover" without being distracted by European competition. I would like to know if it will do them any good.

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.

Correct. The decline in performance that occurs in a team cannot be delegated only to one player. Because everyone has their own role and has their own contribution. I don't know if it's because of the bad manager or something else. But what is certain is that all teams always experience ups and downs and cannot always stay in the top flight. We even know that a big team like Chelsea can experience a drastic drop in performance in the season that just ended. So it's no wonder the Leicester club is experiencing even worse until they are relegated this season and will only play in the Championship in the coming season. But I think with the quality that Leicester have I think the club will only be in the Championship for one season. and then Leicester will definitely return to the Premier League.

Aston Villa's cunning in bringing Emery is to be commended in this regard but for Everton they also did the same but indeed the substitution had no effect whatsoever.
On the other hand, in this case, letting Lampard stay there for too long is also one of the conditions where this is indeed a bit wrong in my opinion because if they had tried to do it from the start maybe the current conditions could have been better. but indeed with their condition fortunately they avoided relegation and returned to playing in the EPL next season.

Saving grace worked for Everton this season just like the last one, this is obvious, their last match was very peculiar and grace narrowly did a good job. Still, the club has a whole lot to do, this season and the immediate past were so bad for them and I didn't expect them to be fighting for their survival in the EPL. And talking about the squad, I agree with you, the squad is okay, at least to an extent, but when the squad is not connecting is a problem. This definitely can't be a training or managerial problem in my opinion, but the issue of morale and believe. The hope was somewhat lost in the first half, but the saving goal of Abdoulaye Doucoure made the day some minute after the second half. They still couldn't continue with the scoring due to their skriking weakness.

As for Lampard, his time at Everton was short, I don't know how coaches are expected to do the miracle so suddenly.

It's not the first time for Everton because they were like that last season and it's lucky they're still here now but that doesn't mean luck like this will keep coming their way.
As for Lampard I think it's quite funny to say that he's been a while because indeed he's been from the previous season even though it's also been in the last few games and he mixed Everton players from the start of the season so to say a minute is ridiculous.

[Oluwa-btc]

With all due respect for Vardy and I really liked him as a player because he wasn't turning the field into a circus show with unnecessary tricks and gestures. He was straightforward and a hardworking offender with good defensive work during his strongest season. But his time has come and saying that he should be preferred over Mason Mount at this stage of his career isn't realistic. Vardy scored 3 goals in 37 Premier League appearances. But I don't even blame him. The whole team didn't play well and he is 36.5 years old. He could have left the club much earlier but decided against it and I think that decision should be well respected because a lot of people just leave for a team that pays more or makes life easier. He took on a challenge and that is a great act in this profit driven world.

Despite the team's poor performances in this season, I wouldn’t blame it entirely on Vardy because I believe his performance last season was also influenced by the team's inability to win most of their games and lost most of their games. It's unfortunate that even Vardy wasn't able to save them from relegation this season and will have to compete in the championship next season.

That's not correct. Jamie Vardy was a bad player this season honestly, it has nothing to do with the entire team performance, ever since they returned to the Premier League, this has go to be the worst of the worst.
He even dropped from.the starting evelen on several games, barnes and Madison were indeed the leaders of Leicester City this season they really did enough and deserves all of the credit.

Not happy shiit has to go this way, but they'll miss them best player's. If they take such performance to the championship, they're not coming back to the premier league still.

[rendravolt]

It's really unfortunate that Leicester City are getting relegated this season to championship division after 8 years of competing in the premier league, it is also disappointing having to lose key players due to this drop and I am a bit surprised to hear Maddison is leaving the club because a player of Maddison's calibre will be sought for by top teams which makes a departure very likely to happen.

But we have to at least give some appreciation to Leicester for surviving those 8 seasons in the EPL with a very high competitive level between teams. It's just that getting relegated is not something that a team wants but sometimes there will also be learning for the team to be able to learn again to complete tasks that have not been fully completed.

Maddison is a great player who will be a target for Europe's elite clubs and it seems very unfortunate if he stays at Leicester, I think he will have to determine his future elsewhere. But I have also heard that some of the other Leicester players who are out of contract at the end of the season will also start leaving Leicester.

[temple]

After all, Vardy still has a contract at Leicester for at least one more season or until June 2024 and so, maybe Vardy will be able to help Leicester to return to play in the Premier League before his contract expires. Because after all, there aren't many old players who can still continue playing regularly because after all, it's time for Vardy to retire. But yes, if Vardy is really still going to play one more season at Leicester, then of course that is a big dedication to the team and not everyone can do it.

I wish he would do that because I think that would be an outstanding move that proves a great character if he stayed with Leicester trying to fight their way back from the Championship into the Premier League. But he already published a statement that was a bit cryptic and vacuous. He said he heeds time and nobody knows what's coming and how much he thanks the club for the past and he wants the best for the future and so on. The standard lines players write down or speak in front of a camera when in reality they are about to jump ship. I am not sure because how could I be, but I think he is trying to find another club for one year or two or who knows, maybe even Vardy has an offer from Saudi Arabia already.

After an outstanding eight year stint in the Premier League it is depressing to see Leicester City in danger of being demoted. The team continued participation in the top flight was evidence of their quality and tenacity. The club will surely suffer because of the loss of important players as a result of this decline. James Maddison departure from them is one of the most unexpected. It is hardly surprise that elite teams would be interested in hiring him given his extraordinary abilities and results. It will be difficult for Leicester City to find a suitable successor and they will undoubtedly feel his loss. However this setback can provide the club a chance to regroup rehabilitate and aspire for an immediate return to the Premier League.

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.

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.

Even though they failed to win the Premier League, Arteta's performance must be admired, he was really able to manage his young squad to compete strictly at the top, their return to the Champions League is also another success for which fans should be grateful.

For next season, of course, Arsenal will have a busy season and of course Arteta must prepare his team carefully. I agree that Arsenal must add new players to refresh the team. If Arteta continues to absorb the same pattern and gains strength in the team, then the target is possible to dominate the top flight and at the same time reach the championship, of course, is not a dream but will become a reality.

[emrecemsan]

Another topic I'm wondering about is if Liverpool will be able to leave this kind of a poor season behind quickly. Because this was really one of their most unsuccessful seasons in the recent years. I haven't been used to seeing Liverpool not joining the Champions League. Because they have always been like one of the biggest title contenders together with Manchester City. But this season was way different. I think one of the reasons could be their letting go of Mane. Because his contribution to the team was enormous.

I mean he made a great duo with Salah you know. The cooperation between these two has helped this team reach successes easier. Mane was like a bridge between the midfield and attacking area of this team. But as of his departure Salah started to have really serious problems for some time. I hope Klopp will work on all the problems left to fix them and prepare his players solidly for next season.

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.

Simple, the formation carried out by Arteta is the ancient formation, namely 4-3-3. but in fact, the strategy and system that Arteta implemented was quite complicated. at first glance, we only see it-that's all. when in fact, it is not so. the system that Arteta implements, often changes according to the rotation of the players.
IMO, there's a lot that we can criticize from Arteta and what he did wrong was, he misplaced several players. for example, Fabio Viera, this player is a complete mess. it seems, he doesn't know when to give long passes to the front lines and when to hold them. this player tends to make a lot of mistakes. another one, Rob Holding. he is a center back, or it could be a DC. but what he did, there were more blunders than good plays. when these two players were made the main starters, Arsenal always achieved minor results and even lost. the time has come, for Arteta to let go of both.

Well, apart from that, Pep Guardiola is Arteta's teacher. however, perhaps Arteta needs time to hone his skills. referring to what you said, the strategy implemented has not changed much. actually that's not entirely true, but more precisely. Arteta is reluctant to rotate his players, even though the player is underperforming.
and this, Pep did not do. Pep always combines other players, not always the core players will play. for example, Bernaldo Silva on the bench, Mahrez started. or vice versa with several other players. there is more, it looks like Arteta has no other plans besides his only original plan. well, the problem is when the team has an impasse, Arteta has no other options. I hope that in the next season, Arteta evaluates all of his shortcomings and continues to bring Arsenal even better.

Yes but every owner also has the responsibility towards the club as a whole, the employees and the fans in specific. Sure he can do whatever he wants and if he thinks he is the grandmaster in turning a soccer club upside down and make it better than ever before, good luck, but he has proven that he was playing some kind of player bingo, selling and buying whatever name popped up in front of his eyes and sacking exactly the coach who have been able to build something over time. Tuchel would have been the man for the project Boehly is trying to develop, which is the irony that he sacked exactly this guy.

Mane was like a bridge between the midfield and attacking area of this team. But as of his departure Salah started to have really serious problems for some time. I hope Klopp will work on all the problems left to fix them and prepare his players solidly for next season.

In the last 6 seasons, more precisely since the 2016/2017 season, Liverpool have always been able to end the season by holding a ticket to the Champions League. Even in the 2019/2020 season we saw Liverpool manage to finish at the top of the standings and lift the Premier League trophy at that time.

But this season, Liverpool have had difficulties even since the beginning of the season. And maybe the cause is as you say. But luckily Jürgen Klopp has fixed that since mid-season. And Liverpool began to rise and chase the top 4 in the standings. although in the end Liverpool failed and could only finish 5th in the standings. But I don't think this is so bad. And I'm pretty sure that in the coming season Liverpool will be back in the race for the title or at least I hope they win Champions League tickets in the coming season. because at the end of this season we see Liverpool gradually improving and being more consistent. I hope they continue it into the next season.

[RILWAN]

It is very hard to state where Liverpool will be in the coming season whether or not the club will slide into a deeper downside movement where there may dive into possible relegation in the next couple of seasons ahead.
Also, the possibility for them to also raise their performance that will place them in the top leagues.

[tiCeR]

Does anybody know whether there are still allegations against Manchester City for violating financial fair play rules? This could be important for those other clubs like Newcastle, too. When they want to make their investment decisions, they should know what to expect from the relevant authorities in this matter. But whether Manchester City, which is now the flagship of the Premier League, gets really penalized is unlikely.

But for the future they should slowly but surely come up with rules that everybody has to either stick to or not and it should be the same across leagues. When they apply sanctions in Italy but they don't in other leagues, the whole FFP chaos will never lead to more fairness, but only to more tricks being applied to find loopholes in the system. Newcastle could be the next one to be under constant investigation.

I am not sure but I think the allegations probably have been dropped because at the beginning stage of the season their were news going round that Manchester City will suffer points deduction and evwn expulsion from the EPL if they were found guilty but no punishment of that sort has been passed which makes me believe the charges have been dropped.

I find it confusing also as a fan when you never really know whether there are still serious investigations or not. In the case of Juventus Turin it was with heavy consequences and then you do the math back and forth and analyze the games thinking whether this team or that team is going to make it into the top four, and then another message is going around in the news reconfirming a penalty but this time less severe. Frankly speaking, nobody even knows whether there will be problems for Juventus as well.

I know that these investigations take time, but they need to implement a procedure where the penalty is more related to the present. When out of a sudden a team receives penalty for what they have done six years ago, the penalty feels right but the timing feels wrong.

The efforts Liverpool made to end in the top four of this season premiere leagues is quite noticeable and notable to say the least, they indeed tried their best and I personally commend their effort,  one thing that I think made them not end the season in the top four is because they woke up from their slumber rather too late, had it been they played from the beginning of the season, like they played towards the end of the season, nothing would have stopped them from ending the season in the top four..,

But like you said, there is still another chance coming for them to try to prove their worth again, the next season is fast approaching, and I also hope they prepare seriously for it, they can go for the title once again like they did go for it in 2019/2020 and got it..
