Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BitcoinHunt3r]

I must say that I'm with you on this and that Mauricio Pochettino is currently doing what I wanted for the club. I've always indicated that Chelsea needed some kind of purging and distortion of players and their psychology so that it could kickstart again with a good alteration that would deliver positively. This is important as the woes of the club are not about the lack of good players but their inability to deliver which amounts to wasting of money.

Spending £539m last season without seeing anything to show for it is appalling, even the coach must be serious this time to prove worthy of the money earned. I believe the club will perform better next season, they might finish in the top 5 spot against the shameful 12th place of the last season.

Yep Chelsea this season looks different they don't rely on money and only spent € 97 million so far, I don't know if Chelsea are overconfident or waiting for the moment to sign new players. To be honest personally I'm not sure about the current Chelsea squad I mean when compared to their competitors but yeah now they have Mauricio Pochettino, maybe he already planned something before making a decision. If Chelsea rely on the current squad then I doubt they can go into the top 5 unless the big news comes towards the end of the transfer window.

Chelsea made a lot of sales too. The club is trying to make its financial even better. Todd is not crazily buying the player again. There is a good progress happened with chelsea so far. I am glad the club is wisely spending money this season compared to last season when Chelsea was scammed with the purchase of Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk. Mudryk is now always debate with its followers in instagram. Mudryk is still like a kid that could not welcome with any complain or suggestion toward him.
Mudryk is actually the worst transfer by chelsea. Let's talk about the early performance from chelsea. So many players need to adapt with the situation in the club.
I won't expect the player will able to be click between one to the each other. Let's see how good the performance from the club in the pre season match.

Liverpool still have no striker signing on their agenda currently. However Firmino's absence must push them to look for a replacement. They can't move on to the next season with only one striker in the end. Nunez's possible injury can cause us to see Gakpo as a centre-forward again. This wouldn't be much ideal for Liverpool at all.

If they don't want to spend so much money on a striker than they can look for a loan option or a favorable low-cost striker as a subtitute of Nunez. Nunez will also need to make some good improvement this season to prove his skills to Liverpool as well.

Manchester United have lost quite a number of their mainstay players from time to time and now is the time for Ten Hag to be to restore the strength of Manchester United.

A pretty good debut for Mount. The 2-0 win certainly made Man United happy because many young players were displayed by Ten Hag. Although Mount didn't score, he played pretty well. Although he only played 45 minutes, he was able to immediately adapt to Man United's style of play. Although Leeds is not a strong team, but Man United at least have the opportunity to try some young players. This result does not illustrate the strength of Man United, they still do not play in full team condition.

Indeed is a good thing to welcome mount with a good win in his debut match against Leeds united but I was a bit disappointed with some errors I observed in him during the match but reading about him I discovered that he was injured for sometime when playing for Chelsea and ever since his coming back the game against Leeds has been his appearance again.

Mount display is cool and I see him adapting very fast to Manchester united pattern of play because watching his passes and his touches I think he's going to fit into the team quickly.

Seeing Manchester United try out some young players is cool but they shouldn't depend on them because next season is really going to be tough in the English Premier League because most clubs are buying more players to make sure they get things done very well and United can't afford to Play with kids against teams like Arsenal or Manchester City.

This is why it is called pre-season matches. They’re been played to try some new players and also to test different method of formation that’ll suit them more when the season starts. Manchester United played greatly well and I just applaud the team that Ten Hag is breeding for the upcoming season. A lot of youngsters showing potentials already ahead of next season, this is a good sign for a team like Manchester United as they’ll have a lot of substitutes in the bench to improve their squad depth.

So far, Liverpool haven't recruited a centre-forward after Firmino left, even though they have to do it if they want to return to competing in the top 4 next season. But neither should we underestimate the strength in the depths of Liverpool current squad, as Nunez, Gakpo and Salah will probably make a bigger difference to their form up front for Liverpool next season. In addition, Nunez is expected to perform better than his first season with Liverpool because he is still trusted by kloop to show his quality next season.

Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are two recruits who are good enough to add thrust in building attacks. It is estimated that these two players will be able to make Liverpool strong again next season, especially for Szboszlai he is still quite young and can be projected for the long term in the Liverpool team.

Young is one old player on the field right now that's underrated , he is 38 years old and he still playing in the best league in the world, from one club to the other, He's mate are all in the Saudi Arabia earning big, but he still choose to be in the premier league, and playing on the first team. i Enjoyed him when he was in his first season in Aston villa, he was classic, then Manchester united bought him , and he still played well , winning the league and cups.  Everton has a legend in their squad, and he will give his best to the club, Young never disappoint.

True but he is old now. I would not expect him to perform the same like when he was playing for manchester united or even villa. His age is the thing that makes me feel doubtful if he will able compete with young player.
I really surprised to see everton was signing him as a new player for the club. He's one of legend but he will not be so long in the everton. Im waiting for his performance in EPL again. Young really talented player when he was still under 30. I saw that some people were calling him as embarassing transfer by everton. It's caused by his age is not acceptable anymore to play in EPL. He regularly played for aston villa last season but villa is not interesting to extend his contract may be due to the his age.

Well, maybe a person is really impressed by the rumors about the offer to the bosses of Paris Saint Germain to buy Mbappe from Liverpool, and therefore figures like Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are not so impressive However, Killian did not say his last word and maybe a really talented striker will want to try himself in the Premier League under the leadership of Jurgen Klopp, rather than wipe his pants on the PSG bench for a year

The attacking line could be jeopardized this summer as a result of Robert Firmino's departure from Anfield; his absence could have the same impact as Sadio Mané's departure, which is a risk Jurgen Klopp is unwilling to take, the reds try their best without their crucial players. All I know is that Jurgen Klopp has everything under control, which is never an easy step to follow. Liverpool will once again stand strong since the coach has signed and solved their primary problem, which is the midfield, by bringing three new midfielders to the squad, proving that they're ready for anything.

[Litzki1990]

I wonder if Tottenham have a Plan B in case of Kane's departure this summer. Because Bayern Munich still seem determined to sign him. Some rumours say that Tottenham might go for Lukaku but I don't feel like the player would accept any offer from them. He is favouring Inter much more than any team interested these days.

But Tottenham still should be able to find a decent striker to fill Kane's place. They don't need to sign a world star like him as well. Because even though they have one now they still can't win any title. They need to focus on improving their performance as a team and then they can be more successful even with just a decent level striker.

If I am the owner of Tottenham I will be willing to let Harry Kane leave at a good price. €100m will transform the club because it could get a few good players. It will be better to sell Kane and use the money to assist the new coach Ange Postecoglou build a new team that will grow to become the best in the EPL. The club is not competing in any European competition because they ended the league in eighth position so there is no need to keep a player that can give them the needed finance to rebuild the devastated Tottenham team.

Chelsea will let Lukaku leave for less than €25m and the club will still have more money to spend. Lukaku is a very inconsistent player that cannot replace Kane but he is manageable. I have not forgiven him for those vital chances he missed in the Champions League finals against Manchester City. Tottenham have made it clear that they will not accept the €70m Bayern is proposing. But discussions are still on, maybe both clubs will reach a consensus. Tottenham doesn't want to give out their best striker to any English team, so Munich is still the best option.

Tottenham have been holding Kane for a long time. Even today Kane has become the all-time top scorer at the Tottenham Club. Kane from young until now has not really had experience outside the English club. Even though he has extraordinary talent that can bring his career to a greater height when he joins Europe's strongest clubs such as Real Madrid, Bayern and many other clubs that are trying to get Kane. But Tottenham seem to really rely on Kane too much. so Tottenham doesn't seem to want to lose Kane no matter what. The issue of Kane's desire to leave Tottenham has started to appear since 2021/2022. But so far no club has succeeded in bringing Kane out of Tottenham.

I also want to see Kane play at a much bigger club. Bayern is a good club. So I support Bayern to get Kane. I hope Bayern can make a higher offer that Tottenham can't afford to turn him down again.

Tottenham are currently holding Harry Kane against his will. Because since the 2021-22 season, Harry Kane has expressed his desire to leave the club, but Tottenham has not evaluated that desire Tottenham has kept him in the team against his will until now. If Harry had stayed in a good club now, he could have taken his career to another level. Tottenham couldn't give him anything but he gave Tottenham a lot and in this case Tottenham are now behaving like selfish. Tottenham are going in the opposite direction of letting Harry Kane go again this season when Harry Kane has expressed his desire to leave the club.  
Harry Kane has one more season left on his Tottenham contract. But it's a huge opportunity for Kane to lose as he won't be waiting to be picked up by the likes of Bayern Munich next season.

Manchester city will perform brilliantly this season as usual and I hope to see the best from them because they are still strong no matter the little changes in the players.

Manchester City tried last season, they performed well and am sure they are still going to perform well in the coming season. I haven’t seen any significant changes in Manchester City squad yet, just slight changes in their squad and am sure it’s not really going to affect them next season, It was just like a magic to me how Manchester City overtakes Arsenal last season, Manchester City is a dangerous club we all should be scared off, I know they Will perform even better than last season, but let’s just wait for the season to start and see their performance.

Guadiola is the best coach and he has his targets this coming season.

Manchester city is having experienced coach with experienced players, he know how to use all his players, with the way Guadiola have been performing, I still see him as the best coach, and am sure he will perform well in the coming season also.

I will look forward to see what Eric Hag has to offer us this season since he really tried last season to shape the club.

Am not expecting anything special from Eric Hag, I know he will also be contesting for the league, but I still have feelings that he might end next season in the same position which he ended just completed season, but we can’t judge yet, let wait for the season to begin and see how he is going to perform, he might end up performing more than my expectation.

Have anyone watch the friendly match between Arsenal vs Nurnberg yesterday?

Kai Havertz was playing in left winger position, it looks like he will not replace Odegaard position in attacking midfielder. If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.

Arsenal shared points with FC Nürnberg in their first pre-season game. It was a tough one to decide the winner, with Mikel Arteta's men pulling the big fight for victory, they were upheld in the second half to secured a draw. The gunners dominated the game full time with crucial numerous counter attacks on the pitch, I believed it was not their lucky day. Kai Havertz made his debut for Arsenal, although he failed to record a goal or an assists. Mikel Arteta will sort out the playing position of Kai Havertz, either as a starter or backup player.

Liverpool is in good shape but as saying they still need striker and with the news of possible departure of two midfielders are creating something big is cooking because few reports are saying most chances if we have no deal between Real Madrid and PSG then we can expect Mbappé future here in England and if this happens then most chances he will join Liverpool because they are doing all requirements and most chances Jürgen Klopp will play this gamble because their squad is already having deep depth with the entry of Mbappé things will be completely on lever with Manchester City, and then we can expect another two-way fight for the title.

Officially nothing coming from any side, but reports are suggesting this option is also possible in case of Real Madrid will not go ahead with the current price range of PSG which is too high because they are already saying they want him on free agent base not paying anything to PSG which is going right now.

Actually for now, one match to confirm things like positions for Havertz and some other players I think is impossible, because it is likely that for the next match Arteta will try a new placement for Havertz and this is a start.
He's still playing quite well with some of the real money players still needing time to play.
Odegaard was the only one who didn't play and I still haven't found Rice's name for Arsenal on the pitch or on the bench this time.

The 1-1 result was good enough for their first game in a friendly with Arteta's schemes and attempts.

It's a new position for him. I don't expect arteta gonna put him as winger rather than attacking midfielder which is his real position. As you can see that above how bad his debut in arsenal.
I have no comments regarding what's gonna be his performance in EPL. It will be the same as when he was playing in chelsea or even worst. Arsenal has become savior for chelsea.

The match has ended with 1-1 as the final result. I know that if it's friendly match but arsenal could do better than it.

I think, Liverpool manager is still working on it to ensure their president approve a huge amount of money for them to bring in young talented strikers that will make positive changes in the front so that Liverpool will end next season well. I don't think Liverpool manager will accept Nunez in this summer, because they have some young players in the training ground that can perform more than Nunez but they are looking for potential players like Erling Haaland, Mbappe and Victor Osimhen so that there will be full confident that they will get it right next season to embrace many titles, because their fans are not happy about their previous results. I believe Liverpool will do better next season to drag the first position with Manchester city in the premier league tournament because their coach will definitely bring potential strikers that will assist Salah.

@Jody.Drummer totally agree with you because during preseason managers tend to try out new positions and strategies but during the season they don’t use them unless they want to drastically try something new to stun an opponent. @Plaguedeath for the fee they have brought him he’s definitely not going to be a substitute player and he’ll definitely be in the starting 11 when the season starts.

I won't expect the player will able to be click between one to the each other. Let's see how good the performance from the club in the pre season match.

First season as Chelsea owner was completely worst for the Todd Boehly as he has done many mistakes and spend huge amount without any planning and vision which gone into vain and team performance was also worst which is now having all new setup with new coach and many players are already offloaded and few are in talk which is surely bringing something positive impact even performance is still question mark, but things are looking better and his sacking of coaches are also having negative impact on teams moral with this all now they are doing few wise decisions and having their better things settled with most of the players are already offloaded and new are also entered.

Mudryk was surely the biggest blunder but no one can stop things like these because we also have few in other clubs as well with this all part of the business and most chances now they will be improved their performance and hopefully things will be also as par requirement which will also increase competition here in EPL.

[bering]

Arsenal first pre season match result didn't run well because they only can able to playing draw against the team from Germany second division Nürnberg and yesterday Arsenal was playing with some of their main players such as William Saliba, Gabriel, Thomas Partey and their main goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and during the match i can see Arsenal were very dominate but they had a hard time breaking down Nürnberg defense because since the beginning of match Nürnberg has displayed solid defense which make Arsenal players looks frustrate and they even several times to wasted the opportunity to scores goal and Arteta has been confirmed that he hasn't satisfied to see Arsenal performance because he thought Arsenal should be able to win the match and he will be evaluate this result
