Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Despairo]

Possible line up for chelsea next season.

Horrible line up.

Chelsea didn't even have successfully sign Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal and he's included on the Chelsea's line up.

Colwill and Chilwell aren't great players, Badiashile and Silva are better than them. Lol Kepa become a captain, but it's make sense because most of Chelsea's players are new and Kepa is one of veteran player in Chelsea.

If Chelsea use this as their line up, I predict they will not able to reach top 7 in Premier league table.

I see it totally normal that Mudryk didn't perform very impressively this season. Because the whole squad of Chelsea were very inadequate. Their morale was so low that they even gave up on the season quite early. In this situation it wouldn't be a healthy assessment about a player. There is a new period starting for Chelsea now with Pochettino. This is going to be the most important time period to watch Mudryk's capabilities. If the team make a good start the expectation from him will also be high.

If he still can't impress people then I will also agree with the people who think he isn't good enough for Chelsea.

The transfer fee paid for Mudryk was very high. I think that's the main reason for the criticism for him. If any team pays so much for the transfer of a football player, it is naturally expected that the transferred football player will carry the team up by himself. However, Mudryk is only 22 years old and very inexperienced in the Premier league. Also, as you mentioned, Chelsea is the worst Chelsea in recent years. It's not fair to expect Mudryk to change everything on his own. Another point I agree with you is that if Mudryk performs poorly again in the new season when things are going well, then no one will stand behind him. He has to make good use of the opportunity he will get this season.

I am also in support of those that think Mudryk is not good enough for Chelsea rather a better winger should be signed to play that position, he can’t be overly dependent on to play that position for the prosperity of Chelsea. You made a point by saying he should be allowed to play under the new coach to see his improvement for the next season. I hope it wouldn’t be a great mistake to take him on trial for that position and fail the whole team in the end when a replacement can’t be found easily till mid season again when the season must have gone halfway.

Horrible line up.

Chelsea didn't even have successfully sign Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal and he's included on the Chelsea's line up.

I’m not impressed with this line up at all. If Chelsea really want to go far in the league and finish in the top 4, they should look for a way to sign some new players that can be able to face the challenge well next season and triumph. But with this current line up, I’m not convinced that they’ll go far in the league.

OP has been updated and poll has been reset for new season.

Now just we have to wait for actual start. Gonna be long summer

Lampard was just a temporary manager for Chelsea and he wasn't expected to do bigger things much. Because Chelsea tried Lampard as a permanent manager before as well but it didn't work out well at all as you remember. Lampard just doesn't have it in himself. He couldn't do well at Everton either so I think it would be better for his career to do a different job then being a manager.

Pochettino is a decent manager and I feel myself confident about him to do much better than Lampard. If Chelsea build their lineup in a solid way I think they will be competitive for top 4 again in a short time.

This season I see Lampard only being the scapegoat for Chelsea's failures this season, how could he not, he was appointed to handle Chelsea when everything was destroyed. And it becomes a gamble too if he is expected to make a difference in the game at that time. Instead of a good change that can be shown, in fact what happened is the opposite. I won't say anything about Chelsea's failure under Lampard's coaching, because basically the team is in a very bad state after the 2 previous coaches.

I see it totally normal that Mudryk didn't perform very impressively this season. Because the whole squad of Chelsea were very inadequate. Their morale was so low that they even gave up on the season quite early. In this situation it wouldn't be a healthy assessment about a player. There is a new period starting for Chelsea now with Pochettino. This is going to be the most important time period to watch Mudryk's capabilities. If the team make a good start the expectation from him will also be high.

If he still can't impress people then I will also agree with the people who think he isn't good enough for Chelsea.

I would even say that all the top players who are at Chelsea this season are normal if they don't play to their fullest because the club's condition is not very promising overall. This has had an effect on other players who have received a lot of criticism because they are considered unable to help the club to slowly develop and improve their overall performance. Maybe our views will differ when we see the team playing well but the players don't show anything good, and that's normal when they get a lot of criticism because of their individual play.

[Fesatmas]

Chelsea problem last problem was the management not the coach or the players. they had a nice coach that was doing well in Brighton, Potter Graham flopped because of poor management in the club. and if they did not amend their involvement in the club decision, pochettino has the experience but if he is not given a free hand to operate he will still flop.

True, I saw something wrong with Chelsea's management because some of the coaches that Todd brought in mostly always failed, they even had good and expensive players but in the end, they always failed. I agree, maybe one of the factors that make coaches fail is because they don't get freedom, after all, coaches have experience and high-flying hours, so I think they already know what to do when the team experiences unwanted things. But it all comes back to management, if in conditions like this, management doesn't give freedom to the coach, then I think it will be very difficult for the coach to be able to restore the club's condition.

No, even I don't blame the coach. I think it should be the management and the new owners that we should blame. They choose coaches who do not have the best experience and ability in managing star players. Potter was good at Brighton but bad at Chelsea. Lampard, he was at Chelsea but also has no improvement after handling the rest of the season. The new hope next season is Mauricio Pochettino. He doesn't have many trophies, but I think he's better than Potter and Lampard.

Precisely because the team's performance was poor, the performance of almost all the players also didn't look optimal, I think not only Mudryk but all the Chelsea players, it's just that because Mudryk was a player who was brought in at an expensive price so the expectations for him were higher so he was in the spotlight.
I don't think he has failed, Mudryk is still very young and quality-wise this player is very good and there is still a big possibility for Mudryk to prove himself.

[KTChampions]

You must be joking. City have such a good squad that even if 3 Kane comes to United, City will continue to dominate. I'm not at all sure that United can even be top 2 next season and even top 4 is a big question. From what I see, it seems to me that it will be the season again when there is City and everyone else (everyone has a chance for second place).
And I'm also looking forward to next season with great anticipation because I'm sure that if United have problems, Ten Hag will again blame someone else but not take responsibility, but next season it will be harder for him to do so.

Manchester City's squad is not just the best in the English Premier League but currently the best in Europe and I also do not think there's a club anywhere in the world that as good as Manchester City in terms of quality and in delivering world class performances.
However, it'll be big slap on the face of Manchester United if anyone would think that if they three prolific strikers like Harry Kane, the English Premier League will still be dominated by Manchester City. United has few positions to make important changes in and they'll definitely be a major challenger to Manchester City

Kane scored 30 goals in a season, which is a great result. But at the same time, Tottenham took only 8th (lol) place. I don't think three Kane can guarantee City level and I don't see anything disrespectful here. I would rather believe that United would get closer to City if they found a second Casemiro + two more KDB somewhere, but you yourself understand the unreality of such acquisitions.

Maybe in the next season everything can change. Because not only Mudryk but several other players who actually had extraordinary skills before entering Chelsea but then seemed to lose their best skills and performed poorly when playing at Chelsea. I think the motivation and confidence of the Chelsea players last season was really unstable. So they cannot be consistent in maintaining the best performance they have.

But right now Chelsea also don't have the players they really need to strengthen the team. Even though there is news that Mauricio Pochettino wants Rapinha to join Chelsea. But I think it won't be easy. Because Rapinha still has a long contract at Barcelona. And it is not certain that Barcelona will let him go. Unless Chelsea dares to spend more money to sign Rapinha.

Not a Chelsea fan but I believe it’s too early to start calling Mudryk a flop from his stint at Shaktar Donetsk he was arguably their best player there. He needs time to adjust to the Premier League which is the toughest league in the world. With how he turned out at Chelsea am sure it would be a relief that he didn’t go to Arsenal else they would be making him the scapegoat for the Gunners inability to win the Premiership.

[Strongkored]

But with this current line up, I’m not convinced that they’ll go far in the league.

Buy more new players? last season they spent big money without success and this season if they do the same thing again they may face accusations about FPF, they must be careful in the transfer market this summer not only using the power of money to get players but careful which players are suitable for their club later.
Chelsea will be one of the doubtful teams next season considering how they were last season, finishing in the top four is not going to be easy for any team because some teams are showing improvement, so there will be at least six teams fighting for the top four City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea if they can, Tottenham, Brighton and Aston Villa will definitely be fighting for that too, so the top four is really very competitive next season.
Especially if it turns out that there will be other teams that can surprise like what Newcastle showed last season, so this is really a difficult competition for any team including Chelsea who are rebuilding their team.

Arsenal has been facing difficulties in recruiting rice and timber. Arsenal has been sending bids for rice so many times but westham keeps rejected it while at the same time ajax was also rejecting the first offer by arsenal.
Im really surprised to see how arsenal will be making a history by spending so much money for the upcoming season. Even many people called that if EPL was a league from another planet. It's caused by unlimited funds that owned by EPL.
So many times EPL club bought player with non sense price. It's hard situation for arsenal right now. Arsenal has been securing havertz from chelsea.
it's time for arsenal to try so hard to get rice from westham.

[Majestic-milf]

Possible line up for chelsea next season.



I prefer to replace mudryk from the list. It's caused by his performance was always horrible last season. The fact that if mudryk has always become a player that was very often losing the ball and lose in the duel.
I hope that chelsea will try to search for a better winger than him. Im not feeling so good to see this kind of composition. Mudryk must be replaced.

 Thank Goodness this isn't the main line up for the blues because I see no reason why on the midfield we have to see Christopher Nkunku in that position, is best he plays on the wing or as the main striker, I'd prefer he plays as a winger because he's more deadly while playing on that position.

 Speaking of player which I see as one good winger is Mudryk, @shinratensei instead of saying Mudryk is not suppose to be on that line up is Madueke who's just not suppose to be on that list or line up. No doubt Mudryk had a very poor season but that's because he hasn't had enough playing time, ok if he has been playing regularly like Sterling do you think he would still be performing poorly? No.
 Madueke has been the one who's having more playing time but he's not too promising with the ball not making the attacker see much of those killer crosses, and he isn't contributing in any way to the team. I prefer Madueke to be replaced by Christopher Nkunku and the midfield should have Chukwuemeka instead of Nkunku.

That's what seems to be a serious consideration, because their prices continue to rise and it makes the velocity of money occur very large. But really, don't be surprised if that happens, because the English Premier League is the most prestigious and more competitive league compared to other leagues. So every club will try hard to be able to spend a lot of money to get and or bring in the players they are targeting, and because this transfer window will still take place, it is possible that Arsenal will be able to get them eventually. Who knows

In my opinion, the transfer of Mane to Bayern Munich left the impression of being unlucky for all three parties, Mane as the first party, Liverpool as the second party and Bayern Munich as the third party.
Liverpool appearance was not as expected after Mane departure, even though they had brought in Nunez at a high price, Liverpool still had difficulty finding their best game which prevented them from reaching the Champions League.

Mane performance dropped dramatically after wearing the Bayern Munich jersey, he had difficulty developing his potential like when he was still defending Liverpool. The decline in Mane's performance has had a huge impact on the continuation of his career, he will be threatened with losing his place in the main squad if he doesn't immediately give his best performance for Bayern Munich.
snip~

But it might make a bit of sense to get Mane to do better in his second season in the Bundesliga instead of returning to Liverpool. I don't think Liverpool are still very interested in signing Mane a second time and in fact I believe Liverpool don't have to reunite with the players they sold like they did with Coutinho a few seasons ago. Liverpool will still do well without Mane, but Mane's departure last season has had an impact on Liverpool's form.

So far Liverpool have had a lot of younger players than Mene, so I don't think they will bring Mane back from Bayern Munich. Rumors are always there like Messi and Barcelona, ​​but in reality not everything that is rumored will come true.

Sadio Mané is not coming back to Liverpool in my opinion. Because first of all even if he does come back, I don’t think the chemistry that previously was in the squad of Liverpool will actually come back.

Secondly, I don’t think it is actually in the best interest for Liverpool to choose something which was in the past. Better to invest in the future. They should bring in the young players and make the attacking lineup fast paced. Thinking about him coming back is just hoping it happens. Probably some people are creating rumors nothing else.

I would rather believe that United would get closer to City if they found a second Casemiro + two more KDB somewhere, but you yourself understand the unreality of such acquisitions.

I don't really agree with you here. I don't want to compare Debruyne and Fernandez but if you check Fernandez assist making and chance created in the past couple of years at Manchester United, the dude is not doing badly. KD is shining because he had/has good strikers around him like Kun Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and Erling Halaand, on the other hand since Fernandez signed for United, which quality striker has united got? A high profile signing like Kane, Osimhen might help to increase Fernandez's assist making stats as players like Martial and Weghorst's goal conversation rate are very poor.

[Coyster]

Not a Chelsea fan but I believe it’s too early to start calling Mudryk a flop from his stint at Shaktar Donetsk he was arguably their best player there. He needs time to adjust to the Premier League which is the toughest league in the world.

There was no player in Chelsea last season who performed close to their level/standard, they were all really bad and thus it is somewhat unfair to single one player out as a flop, but rather the entire team flopped. Mudryk has time to shine, he is just 22 years of age and is yet to have one full season in Chelsea. If Pochettino decides that the Ukrainian is good enough to play in his team, he'll give him the opportunity next season, and we'd then see how good he performs and only at the end of next season can we now pass appraisal on him.

Who knows

Players' transfer window prices vary; some are high, while others are little; it all depends on the player's regular abilities and trophies acquired to his or her name. For example, West Ham United star Declan Rice is highly prized in the market since he is at his prime and best peak; Arsenal has already prompted him to be their first priority; as a club, they must settle for the best first before moving on to another. There is no club that does not have a finance budget in place for the transfer window. They all have scout lists of players they want to sign in the market, and the most modest teams have targets to accomplish this summer.

[Marykeller]

Al Hilal has signed Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea. Leaf fall continues at Chelsea. They will be missing all their key players. They lost stars like Kante, Koulibaly, Havertz, Kovacic. It is very difficult to replace them. What will be the new transfers, will these players be replaced? This is the main question.

When a player leaves a club due to a sale, a quality replacement is brought in right away. Players are sold and replaced before each new season during the transfer windows. That's football business for you(sold and bought better ones).
It won't be difficult for Chelsea to find a better substitute for the players you highlighted, in my opinion. If you look at Chelsea's new starting lineup, you'll see that the players you listed have already been replaced out for the matches of the upcoming season, and the new players are much better than the ones that were sold.

Possible line up for chelsea next season.
