Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Die_empty]

This season I thought the Newcastle management would surprise everyone by adding several star players to the squad. But we don't see anything like that. Newcastle management are very cost conscious. Even with a mediocre team last season, their performance was impressive. However, I would say Newcastle need to strengthen their attack if they want to stay in the top four of the points table next season. If the attack is not strong, Newcastle will not be able to maintain consistency next season. Because the renowned teams in the Premier League are trying to increase their strength. So Newcastle management should also strengthen the team.

It's still surprise to see Eddie Howe refrain from adding additional players to his roster; is he unhappy with the guys he has? He was pleased with the players; what he now requires is an increase in their performance. I doubt the club's performance are going to suffer this season; they're constantly at the top and retain winning as their primary prioritize in every game. Newcastle United is a middling club, yet they have a solid record in the English Premier League. Eddie Howe, the magpies' manager, is working hard to reassemble the team. They have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, and we all know what that entails.

No doubt Newcastle performed well last season and was able to clinch a champions league ticket. But it might be a blunder for Eddie Howe not to bring in a few new legs to reinforce the team. He should consider that they will be competing in about four different competitions next season. Relying on a few players for these trophies might have some side effects. Too many games can lead to fatigue and the chances of getting injuries will become high.

But there are speculations that Newcastle is targeting Leicester's Harvey Barnes and they are willing to pay £25million for his signature. They are also interested to sign the Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram. With the backing of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), the club can afford to buy any player they want. Howe should be proactive because there is much work to be done if he wants Newcastle to achieve more this coming season.

Ten hag has been aware how many faults have already made by de gea last season. No reason for de gea to be the number 1 in manchester united anymore. Mu needs a new keeper that will not be making any faults again.
Manchester united is seeking for the new goal keeper. De gea has a mission to make manchester united to be even better. So many mistakes being made by de gea last season and it's enough to make sure if ten hag gonna try to replace him as soon as possible.
MU is now in process acquiring onana from intermilan. This gonna be a very good progress caused by MU gonna get one of best keeper in this decade.
I really support such decision. It's caused by ETH was manchester united's coach. He has been signed to make MU even better. He shall try to kick some useless players that are still remain in the club.

He wasn't as bad of a goalkeeper as many people claim, sure he had some mistakes there is no denying that but he had some very important saves as well, not like he didn't save any balls neither, he is a great goalkeeper but he is not a great passer that much is true. With Onana, they will have a chance to start fresh, not only he can pass better, and his goalkeeping is close enough, he is also pretty young which means that you cna still train him on some stuff and he could get better at it.
De Gea was 30+ years old already, which means that training him makes no sense, but with Onana they can train him and get about 10 years from him at the same time which would be a lot better if you ask me. I know that it is going to be a tough situation but could work.

There is no reason for the coach to think that De Gea can actually be the main goalkeeper of Manchester United. At least after what the goalkeeper has shown previously I thought he should have been out of the team a long time ago. But I was a little bit surprised to see the coach staying with him even now. But that should change quickly. Manchester United is showing improvement in recent times.

I don’t think if they've continued with this goalkeeper they will actually be able to keep good enough clean sheets and that is eventually going to cost them matches. Of course, Ten Hag is going to be a better judge of that compared to me. But personally, I think it is going to be a stupid decision to continue with De Gea.

[Cookdata]

de Gea is currently 32 years old and he can play for the team for another good three to four years because he is a goalkeeper so until he is 35 his age should not affect his game because he does not run around the field as much as other players. André Onana is already over 27 years old, that is, he is not that young. André Onana has performed great for Inter Milan in the last season. Maybe his great performance has caught the attention of Ten Hag, so maybe Manchester United manager Ten Hag wants to make Manchester United a stronger team by taking him to the team.

There is no specific age for any player to stop playing, look at Messi and Ronaldo that is considered the Goats we ever had in the history of football and they still fit, the conclusion is that as long as you are fit to protect your team from conceding and also helping them to score, they don't use age a factor and most often than not it is the players that use to retire from their club.

Since Saudi Arabia has been a dumping ground for old players from European teams, there is a high tendency that De Gea will also get a call from those clubs because it seems Rumelu Lukaku has already gotten an offer as well if the pay is good for De Gea, that man will move to that region to relax his life instead of these ungrateful Premier League clubs and their fans

[Mame89]

We all know that De Gea have tried for Manchester United, and am sure that all Manchester United fans knows that De Gea have kept some clean shit in the past which really help Manchester United in dangerous moments, but I was just surprise the first moment that I heard that Ten hag is no longer interested in De Gea and he now wants Onana. Even the just concluded season, De Gea really performed well for Manchester United, but he made some errors which we know he shouldn’t make, I think that’s just the reason why Ten hag is no more interested in De Gea anymore, and Ten hag those not want to take any chances next season, he is really aiming for the league, but we shouldn’t blame only De Gea for some of those errors, we have to blame also the defender because they are the cause of some of those errors made by De Gea.

Indeed, De Gea is a legend for Man United that should be appreciated, but believe in Ten Hag's decision as a fan, you should just enjoy it, the point is, clean sheets are not a guarantee for a win. Man United conceded 1 goal but was able to score 2 goals automatically 3 points' maybe that's what Ten Hag thought, naturally Man United is more of a priority for goalkeepers who can build up attacks like Onana.

In my opinion, this is also the right time for De Gea to leave, apart from that Man United needs goalkeeper regeneration and adapting to the playing style that Ten Hag needs. On the bright side, De Gea moved to leave a good impression at the end of his season by winning the golden glove, and it's still easy for De Gea to find clubs willing to want his services.

[Oluwa-btc]

I see that Eric Hag needs a change on his goalkeeper and if you look at it Eric Hag is making reshuffle and preparing for next season. Onana will be a good goalkeeper and will also help to reduce the excess goal that was conceived by Manchester united last season which wasn't funny.

I don't blame De Gea that much because of the poor defenders that was with him but I think that Manchester united goalkeeper needs to be changed and this is the best time for that change. I just hope that Eric Hag will be able to bring in the players of his choice for next season because I think that Eric Hag has plans to win EPL and go far in UCL.

Fixing the Defense and the defenders was number one priority Erik Ten Hag worked on, For Manchester United, the only bad defender likewise dull is Harry Maguire. Lindelof, Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, and Raphael Varane did excellent. Infact, Manchester United defense came second to Newcastle as the best defense in the Premier League last season.

David De Gea is a great goal keeper,  ( If given tue chance, he would save the world from the fiat currency.  ) But, I'm exaggerating bout that now. But Man, it's high time he leaves Manchester United for good. Glad to have him as a Manchester United legend.

[Luzin]

Actually Newcastle is no longer a middling club, because Newcastle has become one of the richest teams. Therefore, it is a bit surprising if Newcastle are not aggressive in this transfer window, because next season Newcastle must play in the Champion League. If Newcastle only maintain the composition of players like last season, then i'm sure Newcastle will not be able to get good results like last season. Because anyway, Newcastle will not be able if they continue to rely on the players in their squad from last season, learning from big clubs that have success at least they continue to overhaul and rotate players. That way, the club will have the main players and substitutes have qualities that are at least not much different.

They didn't have many games last season. It makes the player's work easier. But I'm happy to see them. They don't buy many players with star labels. But Newcastle are able to compete in the top flight of the EPL. So there seems to be a different principle that Newcastle have. They don't think much about spending a lot of money. It looks like Newcastle's owners are more happy with the players working hard. Not a lazy person because of a big salary.
What about Ronaldo? I used to read that he had a special clause when he joined Al Nassr. He could go to Newcastle when they play in UCL. Is this happening?

Mauricio Pochettino, the current Chelsea manager, getting acquainted with his players, he has confirmed that he intends to meets the Ukraine international, Mykhailo Mudryk before the club departs for pre-season. Pochettino began his new job as Blues manager this week, taking over for Graham Potter. "I'm going to meet Mudryk before he comes to pre-season," Pochettino added.
"I really like to see and know him, and then design the best strategy to help him reach the level that Chelsea expects."

Mauricio Pochettino is a manager that I respect so much not just because of his catchy and very professional attitude on the touchline but also his tactical prowess and his ability to dictate his team's weakness during matches while making substitutions where necessary.
He'll definitely make a great manager at Chelsea as he has the capacity to effect positive change on the club

[baeva]

It's not about inflation but it depends on the players to buy.
Even though players are not players who have big names in the transfer window, but in history having experience and good performance will certainly have a high price.
Another reason is that it is nearing the end of the transfer window so players' owners will increase their price after several unsuitable offers.
So naturally if the price becomes expensive.

I don't know, but I don't think it's supposed to work that way. So far it looks like clubs are overpaying for a player with the words "well he will realise himself", but by giving a huge amount of money for a player he should have already realised himself, otherwise the price shouldn't be like that, it's kind of crazy

Chelsea has faced a serious transition from last season to this season and many players have left the team, many players that have won the champions league with Chelsea have left the club to other clubs, just a few of them left and bunch of other new players. This new Chelsea coach can make things better in Chelsea with the new young players, he will have the preseason to try out the new players and be prepared for the first few games in the premier league which will be important.

I'm more curious about the new Chelsea coach (Mauricio Pochettino). because the steps he took in the transfer market were also quite bold. because the players he released were players who had quite high prices. or the players who really excelled last season. Looks like Mauricio Pochettino has an interesting plan. and I'm curious about it. And I think he's lucky enough to be a coach at Chelsea. Because no one will blame him if Chelsea still can't show an increase in performance. because we know how badly Chelsea performed with Lampard and Potter. So the Blues fans are used to last season. But I have high hopes for Mauricio Pochettino because after all I have liked the Chelsea club for a long time. so I want to see Chelsea shine again no matter whose coaching hands it is. and now Mauricio Pochettino is the coach that all blues fans will surely hope to bring about for improvement in this club.

[Leviathan.007]

Pochettino is going to have a hard season on Chelsea because in the first place, he needs to rebuild the team, and after many players left this team to the Arabian teams he needs to find and hire players to fill these empty places for the next season. On the other hand, Chelsea doesn't have a good atmosphere because of what happened in this team in the last season and he needs to change this negative atmosphere which is not going to be easy.

[Velvet78]

Yeah there is a big space in the squad after the departures' coming one by one. But they are a rich team now so there is no need to worry about enough money to fill all of their places. They will just be busier than they thought for sure in this transfer window. But as long as they can find the right players this is still going to be an advantageous window for them.

It is like nearly every area of the squad needs to be consolidated now. I will be hopeful about Pochettino to bring good players to the team. He has a big level of Premier League experience so he should be able to pick the right players for Chelsea.

I don't think that is correct here because Todd Boehly has learnt that the time for crazy experiments is over. I am sure he has made very clear to Pochettino in all discussions they had beforehand that there will be no grace period for him. Strategically I think it wouldn't be smart by Pochettino to blame the past for any issues that could arise when the new season begins. I would rather expect Boehly to be mad about it if Pochettino suddenly searches for excuses when they are not successful instantly.

Pochettino doesn't seem to have any difficulties in rebuilding a team... He's been a good coach right from time and has won different trophies for different leauges and clubs - Madrid can attest to that as well ..
So all he needs to do is regrouping, which he's - in all his endeavors - doing without hesitations. I also believe since he's placed an ordeal to signing those new players, then alot is to be expected of him next season - atleast when the players have got time understand themselves too.

Yep. It won't be an easy task to rebuild Chelsea squad if Chelsea losses too many key players in the current transfer window. It takes a lot of time to look for deserve players to replace the position of missing players. However, it is no problem if Chelsea sell unnecessary players. Chelsea has a large number of players, but it is probably not competitive enough. Chelsea needs a strong squad, they need more quality players. Pochettino needs to sign some new players that possibly help Chelsea to perform better. But it means Pochettino will be very busy during this transfer window, he also needs to adjust how much money to use in signing new players.

Chelsea must have a better atmosphere because they have a new coach now (Pochettino). If he successfully manages Chelsea to win in he early of the season, everyone will totally support him. But it won't be easy to reshape Chelsea squad, return the motivation among players, and choose a proper tactic for them. These are the challenges for Pochettino's capability as one of a top coaches.

Chelsea has faced a serious transition from last season to this season and many players have left the team, many players that have won the champions league with Chelsea have left the club to other clubs, just a few of them left and bunch of other new players. This new Chelsea coach can make things better in Chelsea with the new young players, he will have the preseason to try out the new players and be prepared for the first few games in the premier league which will be important.

Pochettino really has a big difference to revive Chelsea's strength after he was appointed as the new Chelsea coach for next season. It was unmitigated that Chelsea Management sold many players in this transfer window, even players who had the best individual qualities were also sold, such as Mason Mount. So everyone will be looking forward to Pochettino's performance in the games in pre-season before they really do all the hard work in the Premier League.

I hope there are no silly blunders with their decision to release many players in this transfer window. But what we want is to see Chelsea be able to re-enliven competition in the top 4 and that is what the fans want for Pochettino next season. Most likely the target next season is to reach the top 4 and that must be realized by Pochettino in the next season.

Any good coach will try to find out and know his team's weaknesses and find how to fix and resolve them. That's the part Pochettino is taking to reach out to all Chelsea players to know what is in their mind for the club, to know how to deal with it. The preseason is around the corner, that's the time Pochettino wants to capitalize on, in training the Chelsea players for more physical training to bring out the best in them. Every of Chelsea's players has to be set and available for it is not going to be an easy one

This is indeed one of the reasons Chelsea chose Pochettino as Potter's replacement this season. As it is known that Chelsea failed last season, so the club wants significant improvements to the team and especially looking for a coach who really suits Chelsea. And Pochettino is considered to meet these criteria.
Indeed, Pochettino is a coach who is considered talented in developing young talents, has a tactical approach that is quite suitable for Chelsea, and also has various coaching experiences in several leagues. performance and got them back to the top of the EPL standing again.

Rebuilding a club like Chelsea isn't expected to be an easy task but judging him by his past, Mauricio Pochettino will certainly effect a positive and rapid growth to the team's performance come next season.
He did a great job at Tottenham Hotspur who didn't have much provisions for a manager like Chelsea does. So if he can succeed at Tottenham, I think he'll succeed Chelsea

On the other hand, Chelsea doesn't have a good atmosphere because of what happened in this team in the last season and he needs to change this negative atmosphere which is not going to be easy.

I think that those Chelsea players who left the team in this transfer window also did not quite fit into the vision of the team from the head coach, so I don't think that this will be a big problem for the team this season. It's no secret that the purchases of players that Todd Boehly made for Chelsea were devoid of consistency in terms of building a team, so the sale of some players may even be useful. If Pochettino agreed to all this and led the team, it means that the remaining players are quite satisfied with him and he knows what he needs to do. I don't think there will be a massive wholesale purchase of players now for Pochettino's needs.
