Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JeffBrad12]

It sounds this news gonna be bad news for some people.

The Premier League are set to offer live television coverage of every Sunday match from the season after next in a major change to their broadcast rights strategy.

Mail Sport has learned that as part of a planned increase in the number of live games shown each season from 200 to 270 all Sunday matches could be available by the start of the 2024-25 campaign, which is likely to lead to fans being forced to adapt to a variety of kick-off times throughout the day, from midday until 7pm.

That means if there will be a lot changes for sunday. I think that it's quite difficult for the fans to adapt with the new schedule. This won't be a major problem but people needs time to adapt with the kick that can start from mid day.
This may also affecting schedule of EPL in my country for sunday.

Since glazer was only allocating around £120m for summer transfer. Ten hag must be thinking so hard to use that budget properly. As you can see that if ten hag has been spending around £55m to buy mount from chelsea. In another case, ten hag really needs to sign onana. I expect manchester united's transfer budget will remain very small if MU will be dealing to buy onana from intermilan. Unlike another club. Manchester united is now having a lot of budget for that.
Ten hag must be thinking how to allocating the fund efficiently in this transfer season. It's very bad for ten hag. MU has been rumored with so many players but it seems like that manchester united has no enough budget to buy more players.
The price of football players are so crazy these days. I just wanna see how good performance from mount and onana next season.

That’s a very small price allocated to a manager to use and buy players during summer transfer, besides prices of players have increased dramatically now unlike before. Ten Hag have been putting in a lot of effort since he joined Manchester United as a manager and the clubs performance has also improved and they play impressively well than before.

For a manager who’ve showed this capacity within the period he has spent in a new club, he should be given more money to be able to buy new players that’ll contribute and make the team more better amidst the competitive nature of the league. This should be amongst other reasons why the fans led a protest for the glazers to go and allow the Qatar sheik to take ownership of the club.

Manchester United may be looking to strengthen their defense at the moment. Because if your own defense is not strong then it is very difficult to break the opponent's defense and score. First you have to protect your goal post. After securing their own goalposts, a team usually thinks of strengthening the midfield and forwards. Ever since the change of ownership of Manchester United, the team has been rebuilding itself. If this team can be given good financial support, then Manchester United will be in the list of the best teams in the Premier League. The club will be looking to revamp their squad with a number of new players before the transfer market closes this summer.

after Man City's success last season was able to get the treble title, this is what triggered Man United to try their luck to compete with Man City. even if it's a little difficult, Erik Ten Ha tried a newer strategy by strengthening their defense to be able to maintain their points in the standings and of course MU also needs talented players to add to the defense.
on the one hand Man United is currently ambitious to get up and aim for the champions league title to be able to carve new history like Man City but it's not that easy because this will be a tough task for Erik Ten Ha to be able to keep his players consistent in every match .

At the moment, if Manchester United competes with Manchester City for the Champions League trophy, then Manchester United will be far behind. Manchester United should plan to win the Premier League title next season. Because if they think about winning the Champions League trophy, they won't do well in the Premier League. Manchester United's main focus next season will be on going for the Premier League titles while also aiming to do well in the Champions League. If they can go ahead with this plan then they could win the Premier League title next season as well as change some players and prepare for the Champions League next season.
It will not be so easy for Manchester United even if they plan to win the Premier League title. Because Manchester United's tough opponent could be Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle.

With the size of the budget that has been set, Manchester United can't do much, so it's back to Erik Ten Hag who must be able to maximize these funds. Because as we can see from other clubs their budget is more than that. The Glazers don't seem to be serious about fully supporting the future of Manchester United. Because it demands that Erik Ten Hag be able to take advantage of a limited budget, don't blame Erik Ten Hag if the results aren't as good as last season.

This summer transfer market is quite important and when Manchester United's budget is minimal, the addition of players will not be achieved optimally. The Glazers should have sold Manchester United to Sheikh Jassim from the start, maybe this club will get big money.

It seems to me that even if Man U remain unchanged next season, their game shouldn't get any worse... As far as I know, the main players are not leaving the club yet... Man U showed good football last season and finished the season in third place... If they don't have any major team changes, they can continue to play well without any new transfers...

Manchester United needs a bigger budget than that to be able to get the number of players they want, while Glatzer gives a limited budget and it is of course a big job for Erik Ten Hag to be able to make the best use of the given budget. Obviously it won't be easy, because after all with a limited budget like that Manchester United will find it difficult to move, especially the names they are after are players who have a high transfer value. If it continues like this, then we cannot blame the coaches if in the future they decline again, because the funds they receive do not support significant changes.

Their problem is similar like Arsenal where they don't have a good player in bench, if there's a player in Manchester United is injured, their performance would be bad. However Manchester United make a crucial move where they let De Gea to leave, goalkeeper is one of the most important position similar like a central midfielder. I don't think Manchester United's performance would be same, it's either they're better or worse.

[Sterbens]

The difficulties Chelsea encountered last season were in fact numerous had a cumulative impact on their performance and contributed to a degree of unpredictability. They occasionally defeated elite teams showcasing their potential but they also had their share of subpar performances. However the recent hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as the team new manager inspires fresh optimism for advancement. It is crucial to admit that expecting your side to win every game this upcoming season is unreasonable given how unpredictable the Premier League is and How any team can beat any other. However Chelsea may work harder and aspire for a more successful campaign in the future by addressing their team adjustments and spending money on talented players.

The bottom line is I don't think players are a problem for Chelsea and they have very good players, I think this is a result of the management's decisions that may not be in line with the coach and the players. Management cannot unite one another so that cohesiveness in the game is difficult to materialize. True, sometimes the Blues are able to beat some teams and even elite teams, but it doesn't happen much and maybe just a fluke. And still, in the end it is difficult for them to achieve consistent results for a victory. I see that Pochettino's arrival is slightly different compared to previous coaches, he looks more serious in his work, and plans various extraordinary maneuvers for Chelsea's progress process. I have little faith in Pochettino's coaching and with his arrival I assume that in the Premier League next season Chelsea will show a change.

[superman184]

In my opinion, Bruno will play in Eriksen's position, while Mount will play behind Striker. Bruno will start the build-up of attacks from behind because Bruno is a typical playmaker so he is the one who flows the ball from the back to the front, while Mount will move freely behind the strikers looking for and opening space and has a high enough scoring instinct so he can score goals when the strikers experience stalemate to score a goal.

Your analysis looks good and even like a coach, but I don't think you are a trainer here even though what you say looks unique and good too. However, it is also difficult for everyone to know what tactics the Manchester United coach will use next season, even though in general you know where the players are now, this can still change next season because the coach knows better when placing players. Not the fans.

I like your analysis about the way they will play... But imagine a double CAM role for Mount and Bruno, with Casemiro being the sitting Dm!!! Because Bruno can score goals and assist well too and i am sure both CAM's track back enough!!! Lol... in my opinion the attack will cook and Manchester united will be so unpredictable moving forward!!!

I think what you are saying is also more accurate because in the previous season it was also clear that Bruno could also score goals and also provide assists well, although sometimes this also happens very rarely because Bruno usually prefers to score goals himself when the opportunity arises. And I also prefer Casemiro to play in the middle, because he is also very experienced in that position.

[Lida93]

I believe Chelsea's difficulties last season were subtle and compounded, resulting to unpredictable play. On their day, they can still defeat the greatest, but there are too many terrible performances, but now that Chelsea has signed new manager Mauricio Pochettino, I believe they will progress with each game. They will not win every game in the upcoming season because the Premier League is a dynamic league in which any side may beat any other.
Chelsea have sold several of their key players; I believe that if they buy new players, Chelsea will strive harder than they did last season. The manager should sign skillful players who will perform well for Chelsea next season.

With all the possibilities that will happen after they make a big overhaul of their squad for next season, I don't understand why they sell a lot of their main players even they sell them at a cheap price.
Mauricio Pochettino does have experience managing Premier League teams, but to revive Chelsea, of course, he has a very heavy burden, especially since this team has very high targets and also to be able to restore the performance of a team that has fallen is not easy.

I would like to state that the first very problem Chelsea had last season was having a big squad with too many players.. Tuchel who had the control was sacked and a new coach came in, for an amateur but good coach like potter, a team with so much size would be a problem!!! Finding a stable line up, and keeping a big part of the squad happy will be a problem!!, and that was the genesis!!! I am not surprised that an overhaul of players who surely  are less motivated to play for Chelsea and are surplus to requirements is happening now!!! And we (Chelsea) cannot send 10 out and bring in 10 again!!! We need to reduce the size of the team and with the quality of players left, Young and Old, and the little/ required additions made then a good coach should be able to be successful in the new season!!!

A major setback that led to the ugly performance of the club finishing 12th position last season was due to some unhappy players in the team who for reasons best known to them were not comfortable being with the club again and this in extension didn't give the expected results despite spending so much on new signings last season.

The above as explained made the overhauling necessary, taking away the old bad eggs while bringing in new ones. Pochenitto is an experience manager and would definitely excel at Chelsea looking at the quality of players he is bringing into the club in the likes of Christopher nkuku, Nicolas Jackson, what we are expecting to see is a signing of a good central midfielder in place of Matao Kovacic who has joined the City. A midfielder that can work side by side Enzo Fernandes come next season.

I would like to state that the first very problem Chelsea had last season was having a big squad with too many players..

You are kind of right, they spent lots of money last season getting players, but its not all about having big squad but the players should be ready to work for the club. See the way Arsenal performed well last season and most of the players in the club are young player, but from their performance, you will see that those players are ready to play for the club. I think Chelsea needs young and talented players, its not all about getting big players, but getting players that are ready to play for the club.

Tuchel who had the control was sacked and a new coach came in, for an amateur but good coach like potter, a team with so much size would be a problem!!!

Right from beginning i knew Chelsea's, problem is not from the coach but from the squad, Tuchel was a talented coach, and since they sacked him, things have being getting worst for Chelsea, but lets hope we see a positive result from Chelsea with their new coach.

Its seems diffiuclt under Gltazer era Manchester United has limited budget for signing new players, I think Manchester United manager Erik Tan Hag have smart thing how to manage small budget for getting which potential player. Currently, Manchester United success sign Mason Mount from Chelsea with transfer fee above 60 million euro and has chance for Tan Hag get two or three new player later depend with limited budget allocate by Glatzer.

Manchester United has huge ambition for signing Harry Lane but depend on Glatzer want spent above 100 million euro for transfer fees or United have looking new center forward with lower fees transfer from Harry Kane.

I think Chelsea needs young and talented players, its not all about getting big players, but getting players that are ready to play for the club.

They have spent a lot of money to get quality players but still in the end there is no change they can get. In my opinion the players have worked hard according to their respective qualities and what is the problem in my opinion personally is from management who lacks attention and cannot give freedom to the coach, they just play and cannot work well together on the field so that team cohesiveness is difficult created.

Right from beginning i knew Chelsea's, problem is not from the coach but from the squad, Tuchel was a talented coach, and since they sacked him, things have being getting worst for Chelsea, but lets hope we see a positive result from Chelsea with their new coach.

Yes, it's a shame, I think that at that time the Chelsea management had not sacked Tuchel from his coaching chair maybe the situation would not be as bad as it is now and we can see how Bayern Munich are now, they are successful in the Bundesliga.

I don't think Manchester United's performance would be same, it's either they're better or worse.

Not only goalkeepers and midfielders are important in football, because of course all players on every line are important to be able to play well. Also, De Gea is not the only source of Manchester United's problems, because previously Manchester United also had problems in defense or with their defenders. So yes, even though De Gea can play well, but their defenders are very weak, so of course it is difficult for Manchester United's goal to keep clean sheets.

I don't think De Gea is a source of problems in Manchester United's defence, but basically their defenders haven't had a great run of form which is the source of their weak defence. But of course we have no right to blame any of them because the coach must be responsible for the strategy and choice of players who will play in the main line-up.

Some of us have said Maguire is not a good defender for Manchester United, but Ten Hag still used him in some games. I don't know, Ten Hag knows what the consequences are and he is responsible for his team's performance. So if Manchester United really wants to appear strong in defense, then they shouldn't just buy a goalkeeper, but several defenders are also important to bring in.

What I'm noticing at the moment is that Chelsea has dumped some good players and kept bad ones. For example, Mudryk is being defended while Kante, Mason Mount, Silva, Kovacic, Havertz, and many more are all I think players who are still better than those currently being defended. I know the sale was to cover last season's losses due to Todd Boehly carelessness. It's already a risk, but learning from experience now I'm still not sure that Chelsea can finish in the top 4 next season.

[Avirunes]

Bruno will start the build-up of attacks from behind because Bruno is a typical playmaker so he is the one who flows the ball from the back to the front, while Mount will move freely behind the strikers looking for and opening space and has a high enough scoring instinct so he can score goals when the strikers experience stalemate to score a goal.

Lol... in my opinion the attack will cook and Manchester united will be so unpredictable moving forward!!!

I really love this kind of discussion..

Mount can play at many positions. You can play him as winger also but he won't be as effective as he is in central attacking midfielder role. It could be possible like Fernandes going a bit back on defensive midline but is given a right to be a bit aggressive and contribute with attacking moves also. But it would reduce the playing chances of Eriksen as well.

If you ask me I would say ten Haag would start Mount slowly into the matches and then perhaps as a winger later on as matches go by. I don't think that it will be two CAM's as it would really bring back United to their old form and has to cover a lot of ground in opponent counter-attacks. It would be really risky. Two DM's is fine as it is in my opinion.

[püsür]

I think it's right time for him to move on. Fact is his situation at Man United doesn't seem as positive as before. It's an unfortunate that De Gea has no other choice but to leave Manchester United this summer. I want to take a moment to thank him for all the magical years he spent saving Man United in goal. He truly was an incredible asset to the team. Now, perhaps it's time for Ten Hag to take advantage of this opportunity and find a good goal-keeper like Onana who fits well into his philosophy.

This season De Gea has made 38 Premier League appearances and in fact he has conceded 43 goals in all Premier League match. He's not as good as he used to be in the 2016-2017 season and the 2017-2018 season, so of course De Gea has to understand enough why the team expects another goalkeeper. In the last two seasons, De Gea conceded 100 goals where he played full time in the Premier League, so isn't it true that Manchester United's move to bring in another goalkeeper is right?

I know he may still be comfortable at Manchester United, but in several matches De Gea seems to be no longer the best goalkeeper for Manchester United. Onana is doing well with Inter, but I don't think he will come to Old Trafford soon even if he gets an offer that is hard to refuse.

Onana was surprisingly good recently. During the final match, the main attraction was his offensive performance. Sometimes he went forward and took a pass between the defenders and brought the forward players to the ball with great passes that guided the game perfectly. Considering that great offensive performance, it wouldn't be a surprise if they go back in the last minutes, he'll come forward at the set piece and be crowned with a goal. Overall, I think it is a good move for him.

Liverpool fc is about to close the transfer season. They bought football players at very reasonable prices. As well as to their missing places. United has not made any real transfers yet. The mentioned football players are generally very mediocre types. In this direction, the football players bought are also unnecessarily expensive and none of them can do justice to that money. For example, United is the only club in the world to give 95 million euros to a someone like antony matheus dos santos. There could be so many examples.

[Huppercase]

With the size of the budget that has been set, Manchester United can't do much, so it's back to Erik Ten Hag who must be able to maximize these funds. Because as we can see from other clubs their budget is more than that. The Glazers don't seem to be serious about fully supporting the future of Manchester United. Because it demands that Erik Ten Hag be able to take advantage of a limited budget, don't blame Erik Ten Hag if the results aren't as good as last season.

Considering the situation of Manchester United, the Glazer's are economizing their porse because of the situation on ground about the transfer of ownership should incase the club become sold to another person because Sheikh Jassim offer is still on the table and they are willing to buy the club any moment from now. But even with the little budget, they can bring in good men from other clubs that are willing to live their club for Manchester United, after all we have seen low budget players becomes good assets to another clubs, they don't need to target big players to win leagues.

This summer transfer market is quite important and when Manchester United's budget is minimal, the addition of players will not be achieved optimally. The Glazers should have sold Manchester United to Sheikh Jassim from the start, maybe this club will get big money.

I think that if Sheik Jassim becomes the real owner Manchester United whether now or towards half way of the season, there could be some strategic shuffle of players, he will be willing to give Erik more money in the January transfer period to acquire more players, however, I still think Manchester United will do fine with the players they are bringing in since last month so far.

[X-ray]

De gea's contract has been running out but MU has not yet removed his name from the club. The talk between intermilan and manchester unted have not yet happened. This can be a big problem for manchester united if the club won't sign onana as soon as possible.
I remember that de gea has been rumored to get a new contract from manchester united but it's likely he is not interesting anymore to take it as MU has been deceiving him by decreasing his salary in the new contract.
De gea may able to get a new club as soon as possible. His journey with manchester united finally come to its end. De gea has become one of important part from manchester united for so many years.
It's now for onana to replace him as a keeper in manchester united. GBU de gea. Good luck in your new team.
