Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Pokapoka124]

Aston Villa recent season steady play which saw them finish in seventh position and qualify for the European Conference League demonstrated their potential as a dangerous group. It is realistic to anticipate that manager Unai Emery would try to strengthen the team for the upcoming season despite the fact that their transfer activity has been relatively quiet thus far with only the signing of Youri Tielemans on a free transfer. Ferran Torres is one player they have their eyes on since he has the potential to greatly improve their attacking capabilities. Especially noteworthy is that Torres seems to be unnecessary in Xavi Barcelona plans giving Aston Villa a promising chance to get him. Newcastle who are also interested in signing the gifted forward might present a challenge. It will be interesting to see which club prevails in the competition for this much desired striker.

Unai Emery did the unexpected, taking Aston Villa to European competition next season. Who would have thought this could be possible in such a short time but Emery has made it possible. The signing of Touri Tielemans will bring improvement to the team’s play and will help create a balance too. I really like the job Emery is doing at Aston Villa and I think other average clubs should take some lessons and put efforts in building their squads. It  shouldn’t be much of a trouble getting Ferran Torres to sign for Aston Villa as long as the figures are right.

I don't even know the reason why crystal palace is taking hodgson as manager. He is too old. He shall have retired from being a manager for football club. I don't even know why he is still accepting a job from crystal palace to manage the club.
What a timeless coach. He has become the oldest coach in EPL. Crystal palace can take a talented coach instead of signing grandpa as a coach for next season.
It's hard to accept the truth but with his age and hodgson will not give change for crystal palace. He has limitation to think so hard about bulding a proper strategy.

Snip.

It's true that Pep Guardiola is a great coach and although he missed Gundogan going to Barcelona, it seems that Guardiola is also ready to regenerate the Manchester City squad. We know that Gundogan is no longer young and it is possible that next season we will see Kevin De Bruyne's turn to leave Manchester City. Everything is well understood by Guardiola to determine the composition that is suitable for Manchester City's strategy next season and maybe we will still see Manchester City will sign two or three more players this summer.

Gundogan departure for Barcelona did not bother Guardiola with the condition of Manchester City's midfield for next season, he still has several other quality midfielders to rely on, especially since Manchester City have just brought in Kovacic from Chelsea. Players in a team always come and go, Guardiola, who has a lot of experience, is not too burdened by this condition.

Manchester City, which has just won the treble winner, cannot be separated from Guardiola ingenuity in selecting players to fill out the Manchester City squad. Kevin De Bruyne has improved rapidly under Guardiola, he has been polished to become a star player who has always been a part of Manchester City main squad. Guardiola can put players in an ideal position that makes him comfortable while playing, there are so many stars that Guardiola successfully orbited during his time as a coach. He can always find suitable substitutes to fill the positions left by players who go to other clubs, besides that regeneration needs to be done to rejuvenate the squad he leads.

Liverpool is a great team and for me the best of all Premier League regarding the way they conduct their game play,they attack really fast,completely different from Manchester City but this has also big risks back and that is why Liverpool defense conceded so many goals this past season.However a player of Mbappe caliber would be more interested to play for a team that have won the Champions League trophy more than any other team as he has already achieved a lot of titles at Paris in league 1,most likely Liverpool won't go as far as Real Madrid in Champions League and that is why I think he will choose Madrid but if he doesn't and comes to Liverpool that is the biggest hit for the Premier League upcoming season.

If one claim to be good and a god of football, they will not take the short way to success I believe. In the space of 4 years back, Liverpool has won the Champions League and they reached the final last year against Real Madrid, they played like it was their final moment in football but Real Madrid won by a goal, I don't see any reason why he will prefer Real Madrid over Liverpool. If Haaland and De Bruyne all have this mentality when they came to Premier League, they wouldn't have the rating they had this year because people would believe that such a club is used to winning it and it is not a big deal. If you say Mbape is going to Real Madrid because of money, then I will say aye!

This is slightly wrong; why do i say so? Liverpool generally had a poor and inconsistent season; but their attackers did not underperform, instead Liverpool struggled in midfield and Defense and Klopp has been wise to work on those weakness in the summer transfer window.

Salah ended the season with 46 goal contributions, Darwin Núñez ended the season with 19 goal contributions, Gakpo has 10 goal contributions (joined in january). Klopp has done the needful with the Liverpool midfield, next season; the squad will flourish

Currently, Klopp is still monitoring the transfer market to see which players he can buy so he can make Liverpool stronger next season. Because Klopp still needs some great players for lines other than those occupied by Darwin Núñez and Gakpo so that they can create more valid collaborations within their squad next season. Apart from that, Klopp must also have a slightly different strategy from the previous season so that rivals can have a little difficulty reading Liverpool's style of play.

I don't think it was an issue that they had with strategies in their game. It was the lack of dedication and will power to achieve something. Strategy is one piece of a whole set of factors that make a team successful. Even if they had a good strategy, it wasn't the Liverpool that we are used to. Extremely aggressive and nonstoP pressing from the first minute till the last, high speed counter attacks and goal scoring efficiency. In the last season I could hardly see any of those things. They need to improve many aspects of their game and if the dedication comes back and the hunger for success, the right strategy is also important.

Manchester United's movement in transfers encountered obstacles where they did not have enough money to bring in players, as a result they had to really choose players who would contribute of course at low prices. While now the players they are after have high prices, so they have to consider very seriously.

I think Erik Ten Hag will be given the freedom to sign players this season, but it turns out that he has several obstacles that require him to be extra economical. with a limited budget, it will not be easy for a coach to create the squad he wants, and it is definitely a homework where he has to rack his brains, how can he have the dream squad with limited money.

It's a shame that Erik Ten Hag's plans for this summer's transfer market have had a negative impact. had the takeover taken place, the Ten Hag would have had enormous funds. instead, he was forced to work within the £120 million budget of the Grazers. As stated by British pundit, Rio Ferdinand is adamant that the Glazers were the reason behind the delay in the takeover. which in the end, greatly influenced the movement of Ten Hag in this summer's transfer window.

There is no ideal choice, like it or not Ten Hag and Murtough have to take into account every player they will bring to Old Trafford. apparently, there will be a wave of anger from The Red Devil fans. moreover, if the Glazers are still making it difficult for Qatar to acquire. but actually United have another option, Ten Hag will get additional funds from the sale of some of his players. moreover, if the players are bought by Saudi clubs. at least, more ideal than offering it to the European league clubs, and even then if the Saudi players and clubs are willing. By the way, don't get your hopes up that United will sign some of Europe's top players if the acquisition of club ownership is still in the works.

I'm sure Liverpool will find a replacement for Firmino and not sure Mbappe will move to Liverpool even though Liverpool have quite a lot of money, because it seems Mbappe is more interested in Madrid than Liverpool and playing in the EPL, talking nonsense seems to never end that's why a lot of media who continues to force things that are difficult to discuss like this. after all Liverpool will not be able to buy Mbappe from PSG.

I'm sure PSG charge high or expensive fees so it's difficult for Liverpool to bring him to Anfield, but even so the club that makes the most sense is madrid and I'm sure Mbappe even though he will move from the PSG club he will play in madrid more than in any other league including Liverpool EPL.

Relax, it's certain that Mbappe will prefer Real Madrid to Liverpool and the cheap rumors circulating now that link Mbappe to Liverpool feel like a passing wind later. The media is only exaggerating the news and maybe they are bored if they just keep discussing Mbappe with Real Madrid, so they make new rumors that are baseless and that go straight to Liverpool.

If we think that this rumor is true maybe we will see Liverpool really terrible with Mbappe and that could be the thing that makes teams in the EPL very scared to face him. But indeed, as everyone knows, Mbappe's current transfer fee is more expensive than before and it is likely that no other team, including Liverpool, will dare to bid for Mbappe except Real Madrid.

This is exactly what I am thinking as well, all these rumors about him going to Liverpool seems like a fake news and will probably not happen. We just need to realize that this is just a game between PSG-Mbappe-R.Madrid at this moment and we are just waiting to see which one of them will win this game. I do not know what's going to happen but Real is not willing to pay 200+ million for him, and Mbappe wants at least 150 million to be paid back to him.

So, negotiation should be PSG wanting more from Madrid and/or pay less to Mbappe to leave, and if that doesn't work then we are going to see Mbappe leaving for free next summer and that means he is going to end up not being loved by fans or the management or even the coaches for the rest of the whole season.

So far, at least Liverpool have managed to recruit Szoboszlai from Leipzig and also, Mac Allister from Brighton, both in the same position as an attacking midfielder. Well, it seems quite clear that Klopp really prioritizes strengthening Liverpool's midfield for next season. Because yes, if Liverpool have midfielders who have high creativity then of course, Liverpool will be able to make attack after attack. But even so, I hope Liverpool's defense will also remain strong and solid. Because that way, it will certainly make Liverpool have a great chance to become a candidate for the title in the Europa League. Also, it will make Liverpool strong in competing in the top four in the English Premier League standings.

It looks like there are a lot of problems facing Man United regarding the transfer market this season, namely that besides being difficult to complete the Onana deal, Erik Ten Hag also has a limited budget so offer after the offer is not seen as too aggressive. Inter wants this amount and it should be that if he does, Erik Ten Hag wants Onana to seriously make a decision as soon as possible rather than in the end Inter getting an agreement from another club to bring Onana. When viewed from other competitors, especially clubs that finished at the end of the season, such as Arsenal and Newcastle, did not experience the problems that Man United experienced. I've heard rumors that Al Nassr will disrupt Man United by joining the hunt for Onana. But I can't say for sure whether the rumors are true or not because so far if Al Nassr is ready to compete, Man United will need to act more quickly.

André Onana is one of Manchester United's target goalkeepers, but it looks like Manchester United's path to bringing him to Old Trafford will not be easy. Inter want a fantastic fee for André Onana, but Manchester United are having trouble agreeing a fee.

I think Onana fits Ten Hag's system and pattern of play, but of course Ten Hag won't be that easy to sign him because of the lack of financial support from Manchester United. If in the end Manchester United failed to get Onana, then their decision not to extend De Gea's contract was completely wrong. De Gea is still pretty good, but maybe it's time he left for another team.

Currently, Klopp is still monitoring the transfer market to see which players he can buy so he can make Liverpool stronger next season. Because Klopp still needs some great players for lines other than those occupied by Darwin Núñez and Gakpo so that they can create more valid collaborations within their squad next season. Apart from that, Klopp must also have a slightly different strategy from the previous season so that rivals can have a little difficulty reading Liverpool's style of play.

Losing a place in the Champions League next season has made Klopp improve to rejuvenate their squad by recruiting potential young players. MacAllister and Szoboszlai are the two names that have officially been brought in this transfer window. It is clear from the position of the two players, they are both more dominant in the position of midfielder and can be plotted for several other positions. Klopp understands that the weak point of last season's Liverpool squad was in their midfield.

The presence of MacAllister and Szoboszlai is expected to cover Liverpool's midfield deficiencies next season. As a result they have ended up together with several players such as Chamberlain, Keita, Fermino and Carvalho playing in the same position. As you said fit also looks like they still need two or three more players to start next season, if all goes well for Liverpool I think they can finish in the Champions League Zone next season.

[sokani]

Manchester Unites do have other alternatives if they fail to get Onana. Even now, Manchester United's offer to get Onana has been rejected by Inter Milan. Because Manchester United made an offer below the price set by Inter Milan. Manchester United made an offer of 40 million euros and a bonus of 5 million euros and was rejected by Inter Milan who wanted 50 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros. And I think the Manchester United side did not just give up. They will surely make another offer. Because Erik Ten Heg really seems to see Onana as the most suitable candidate for the pattern of play that has been built by Ten Heg at Man United at the moment. But if the next bid fails, then maybe then Ten Heg will switch to other Alternative options.

Manchester United are just in a hurry to get rid of David DeGea who happens to be one of their top performing player in recent years. Just because ETH wants a goalkeeper that plays in a particular way, they are ready to let him go. The club has handled his contract extension unprofessionally, he has signed his contract extension with a reduced salary before leaving on break. United has not signed theirs because if they had there would have been a formal announcement from the club. They allowed his contract to run out and they now risk losing him for free. It's going to be a big shame if DDG leaves this way.

Nice move by Klopp to strengthen his midfield. We all agree that last seasons issues was emanating from the midfield not being able to link up well with Salah mostly upfront. Mane although long gone now, was a good link and had the pace to effect that attack, and the void was rather evident, even on the days when Liverpool performed exceptionally well, they always had the play pushed from the midfield.  
With the additions of Szoboszlai from Leipzig and Mac Allister from Brighton, both playing from same position, their chances are way better that even Chelsea and Arsenal, because Liverpool is a very powerful and daring team with Klopp's genius.

Gundogan departure for Barcelona did not bother Guardiola with the condition of Manchester City's midfield for next season, he still has several other quality midfielders to rely on, especially since Manchester City have just brought in Kovacic from Chelsea. Players in a team always come and go, Guardiola, who has a lot of experience, is not too burdened by this condition.

And in my opinion, Mateo Kovacic is very appropriate to replace Ilkay Gundogan as a Manchester City midfielder because Mateo Kovacic is very experienced having strengthened big clubs such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea. He is a great player and the right choice in European football, Kovacic has won four Champions League trophies, three with Real Madrid and one with Chelsea. I also feel that Manchester City's squad this season is fresher and scarier.

Manchester City, which has just won the treble winner, cannot be separated from Guardiola ingenuity in selecting players to fill out the Manchester City squad. Kevin De Bruyne has improved rapidly under Guardiola, he has been polished to become a star player who has always been a part of Manchester City main squad. Guardiola can put players in an ideal position that makes him comfortable while playing, there are so many stars that Guardiola successfully orbited during his time as a coach. He can always find suitable substitutes to fill the positions left by players who go to other clubs, besides that regeneration needs to be done to rejuvenate the squad he leads.

There is no doubt about Pep Goardiola's ingenuity in building a strong and compact squad. This proves that the players Pep bought very rarely don't become good players in the game even for one season. even a good player Pep is able to sell if the player doesn't follow Pep's strategy. Pep only buys cheap players, but if coached by Pep, they will definitely develop and will perform well. This is the same later as Kovacic, he plays in the Chelsea squad without getting the main game and only replaces injured players and in half time. I'm sure Kovacic will succeed with Pep because he knows how to polish players to improve the game of players in the Man City squad.

Manchester United should try to keep David DeGea in the squad. David DeGea is an excellent goalkeeper. And he is quite experienced. Manchester United should not let David DeGea leave for free. And with David DeGea gone, it will be very difficult for Manchester United to find an experienced goalkeeper. However, Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag may take a decision that is useful for his team.

André Onana is one of Manchester United's target goalkeepers, but it looks like Manchester United's path to bringing him to Old Trafford will not be easy. Inter want a fantastic fee for André Onana, but Manchester United are having trouble agreeing a fee.

I think Onana fits Ten Hag's system and pattern of play, but of course Ten Hag won't be that easy to sign him because of the lack of financial support from Manchester United. If in the end Manchester United failed to get Onana, then their decision not to extend De Gea's contract was completely wrong. De Gea is still pretty good, but maybe it's time he left for another team.

It is certain that Inter Milan wants to set a high price because so far Andre Onana has performed well during his time at Inter in the Serie A and Champion League competitions, so it would be very natural if Manchester United would have difficulty in negotiating the price that Inter previously set 55 million on Onana.

I think it is already known about the philosophy towards Andre Onana then it will be part of what Erik Ten Hag wants, even if they have difficulty signing Andre Onana then I think it should be tried even though their finances are not big enough to sign the Inter Milan goalkeeper, but my hunch is that Onana will definitely go to Manchester United but they as long as they continue to strive for his arrival.

If there is no Onana then there must be another option.

And with David DeGea gone, it will be very difficult for Manchester United to find an experienced goalkeeper. However, Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag may take a decision that is useful for his team.

Erik Ten Hag wants the best for his squad, he's not relenting his duty as manager, always ready to heighten the level of the club into a top form. Any crucial decisions taken further, is either good or worse for the club, any dimension would be decisive for the red devil's. David de Gea keen on leaving Manchester united this season, but I think it would be a hugh loss if the Spaniard exits old Trafford. United seeks for backup replacement for David de Gea, and the replacement is Andre Onana from Inter Milan, I guessed he's an appropriate goal keeper for united.

I personally prefer to see de Gea leave because after all, at that time Manchester United kept de Gea by increasing his salary when de Gea was in demand to be recruited by Real Madrid. But at this moment, Manchester United have no desire to keep de Gea so yes, I think it would be better for de Gea to leave and hopefully another big club is willing to sign de Gea. Therefore, it will be a wait for what kind of player Manchester United recruits to replace de Gea and also, which club will de Gea play for next season, this is interesting to look forward to I think.

It's very strange that Crystal Palace was hired, and I can't understand why they hired a trainer who is already 75 years old, without a doubt that at that age he should be in retirement, I keep asking myself if he will be healthy to stay yelling at players in training and games, last season crystal palace even managed to play well, but the problem was in defense that when they conceded a goal they were left with no more motivation to attack and win the game and this dragged on until the end of the match premier league. in my opinion crystal palace is in need of a young coach who is very available

I imagine that we can't expect much from the crystal palace in this season that will start next month, and there's a great chance that after a few games if they don't have good results, the news channels and the fans will start blaming the coach, and with this will start asking him to resign. without a doubt that crystal palace was a bad choice, in 7 days crystal palace will have their first friendly game against barnet, we'll see how they do, it's not a premier league team they'll be playing against, but even this will give us an idea of what to expect from them

I think it is high time for Manchester United and David de Gea to part ways. Because he is not performing well for Manchester United and Manchester United also once the better performance from their main goalkeeper. This is certainly not going to work out between these two parties. It is best for Manchester United to invest in someone else.  Onana is a decent goalkeeper. What is he worthy of being the main goalkeeper of Manchester United? That’s a little hard to answer. I guess we will know once we see him in action for Manchester United
