Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Hyphen(-)]

I’ve been seeing a lot of Arsenal fans complaining about signing a center forward, that Gabriel Jesus isn’t reliable. Honestly, Do they need to sign a striker despite having Jesus & Nketiah? I am not sure it is a major priority. They did not lack goals last season. They scored 88 goals; second behind Manchester City, 94. I think their aim is to get a more suitable replacement for Saka. They don't need to be unnecessarily apprehensive because their rivals sign strikers. Chelsea obviously needed one, so do Manchester United. But them, Arsenal ? I am not sure it is dan-dan with Jesus and Eddie. Except if Eddie leaves.

The main issue is that Arsenal fans are not satisfied with the number of goals Gabriel Jesus scored last season despite having started in all matches before he got injured. Although he is a good player who contributes to the team in terms of creating chances, his scoring ratio is below our expectations as Arsenal fans.

On the other hand, Nketiah is trying his best as a second-choice striker because when Gabriel Jesus got injured, he came in and scored a lot of goals that made us feel relief that Jesus was injured.

But generally, due to the scarcity of world-class strikers, I don't think Arsenal fans need to worry about strikers because the problem we had last season was not a striker issue but squad depth in general, and all the players tried their possible best; that is why Arsenal and Arteta were trying to get more players to rely on so that they could have confidence and avoid losing trophies like last season.

That's true. I have the same feeling regarding Gabriel Jesus and I do believe he can do much better than last season and score important goals or at least be a consistent one when you can count on him on every game because last season he clearly had ups and downs.

Maybe Arteta has another plans for Arsenal strikers and he will pull out a "false 9" like Pep tried for a couple of years until he transfer Haaland because I have faith in Arsenal that they can achieve the League Title this year and also have a good run in Champions League as Arsenal fans kinda missed this competition.

[Docnaster]

It is true that Arsenal must add a quality striker to be able to compete in the EPL and UCL, not just relying on Jesus and Nketiah. Because it will make it easier for Arteta to rotate attack players if they are hit by accumulated cards and injuries, but it seems they have run out of budget after recruiting Rice.

Yes, it's true, of course Arsenal need to spend a lot more money to add players to the front lines, of course this should be prepared by Arsenal considering they got UCL tickets this season, of course, a lot of players will be needed to fill the front lines well and can also become goal machines for Arsenal, I think Arsenal have to strategize to get a striker for Arsenal.

At least don't make unnecessary purchases and big expenses, so you can save on expenses and really buy players who can fill in certain lines so you can be more solid and maintain good team performance, especially since the competition in the EPL and UCL is very tight, so the arsenal must really reshuffling their cast properly.

Without doubt, Arsenal's visible area of lack of quality is their attacking line and I expect the club management to invest more in their attack before the end of the summer transfer window.
Gabriel Jesus is a phenomenal striker but they need a better back up than Nketiah. If Arsenal can successfully get few more attacking players that can work together with Declan Rice and Martin Odeegard, they'll be a team to beat come next season

Eric Ten Hag has made many changes since being appointed as head coach of Manchester United at the start of the 2022/2023 season. His arrival at Old Trafford not only changed Manchester United as a team, he also made several players find their best form again.

After his arrival, I saw that now Manchester United has changed quite significantly. Although he hasn't been here for a long time, the change thanks to his combination is very obvious. On the other hand, this is not the first time he has made a good contribution to the progress of a team, we can see before when he was at Ajax he had a good reputation, he was able to achieve success there, and now he is successful again for Manchester United and also not forget that Ten Hag is a coach who applies strict discipline to all his players.

Manchester United are starting to feel the impact of the arrival of Erik ten Hag, in the transfer market this season Manchester United have also brought in several great players to add strength to their squad. Manchester United is trying to restore its glory with Ten Hag, now they are ready to become a new challenger in the Premier League and in the Champions League.

The maneuvers that have been put in place in the transfer market will be the first step towards even better results next season, with some great signings including several returning from loan spells. With all the improvement steps that have been taken by Ten Hag, I think it is true that next season it is very likely that they will show an unusual performance, Manchester United will be one of the clubs that will provide quite a tough fight for Manchester City and Arsenal. Ten Hag will not make the match easy for his opponent.

[Ahli38]

I'd like to believe that Man U can once again be stronger than another club from Manchester.... But that doesn't seem very realistic to me.... The EPL is very competitive right now... Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, maybe Chelsea will join the race.... And of course Man City are stronger than ever... I also doubt Man U's success in the Champions League....

I understand that many people will start doubting Manchester United's performance in the coming season after seeing Manchester United's defeat by Real Madrid in the pre-season match. Even Manchester United's defense really looked fragile at the start of the game. Andre Onana also made his debut as Manchester United goalkeeper in that match. And his reputation suffered a bit after he conceded 1 goals in the 6th minute by J. Bellingham and 1 gol in the 89th minute by Joselu. But I personally don't blame Onana in that fight. Because the real fault lies with the Manchester United defender. And in that position, Onana did not really benefit. And I believe Erik Ten Heg hasn't shown the real strategy he has prepared for the coming season. So I still hope that Manchester United will be one of the strong candidates in the title race. But if I have to compare between Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United. So of course I also think that Manchester City is still top in terms of performance at the moment. And I think it is Liverpool who will be the closest this time around to compete with Manchester City. Recently, Chelsea has also been a little surprising because their performance in pre-season matches was considered quite positive and exceeded people's expectations of the club. But I still doubt Chelsea will be able to recover quickly.

In my opinion, Ten Hag has provided something quite positive. Even though it couldn't be said to be perfect, but what Ten Hag did could bring Man United to good progress. It is indeed quite difficult to shift Man City's dominance in the Premier League but that doesn't mean that Man United doesn't have the chance to make it happen. If Man United can get a world-class striker, I think they will make good achievements this season.

You literally took the thoughts off my head and put it in writing. Lol. I like that Marcus Rashford picked up form and has been playing exceptionally well since Erik Ten Hag took over the team's management. He like became the club's best player. Over the course of the season, I watched as he became more discipline thereby setting higher standards for others. Although other people may think otherwise but I think that letting CR7 go was one of the best decisions that Erik Ten Hag took at that time immediately he saw that he wasn't making any positive impact on the team and it was becoming detrimental to the teams progress. Part of his transformational strategy was signing Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro. It was nothing short of brilliant making them beat some of the strongest teams in the championships.

One season is not to be taken as an achievement but with the club changing for the better Erik Ten Hag has done that during his first season.
I don't think it will take a while to surpass Man City, but with what they're doing they might just materialize as title contenders one day. They have big ambitions, quality players, and the coach.
Man United are eyeing Atalanta striker (Rasmus Højlund), that's what's in the news today, previously Man United were linked with Kane but that news didn't appear again.

Maybe I reversed your opinion and I think Arsenal have more than enough to spend this summer. They are very good with the current squad depth and don't need to transfer players anymore because almost every line has a suitable coating. Now for Arsenal is to solidify their squad in terms of attack or defense so they can get consistent results in every game. Apart from that, it's just a matter of adjusting to all the competitions they will take part in next season because obviously that will drain more energy.

Yeah Ten Hag was called successful in its first season although not as a winner but in 3rd place is a good achievement, Pep Guardiola in his first season also finished in 3rd place then in season 2 they could win the title so surprises could happen in the 2nd season, who knows. Ten Hag still has plenty of time until 2025 to build a Manchester United squad if he continues to be consistent I believe their chances are closer to the title. For this season Manchester United still need a new striker figure because with the current squad their strength is still difficult to compete with Manchester City, we know Manchester City is a complete team so to compete it takes a complete team as well.

All we need to give Erik ten Hag is just time,  with time I know Manchester United will win Premier league.  Ten Hag is gradually improving Manchester United which we can see it from his performance since he became the coach of Manchester United. Manchester United has really gain success it doesn't necessarily mean it must be to win Premier league first, the performance of style of how the players play the  game is success and the position they were able to achieve is success.  From the energy seen from ten Hag and his performance more success is yet to come from Manchester United .

Yes, there are a number of things that you should pay attention to because a big team will lose balance if many of their core players leave in this summer's transfer window. Manchester city just made their history last season by winning the treble winner. So there are several steps that pep must anticipate to balance their strengths in the next season, where he must be able to persuade star players not to leave in this transfer market.

Indeed pep guardiola has some stock players but if some influential players in the depth of their squad leave in this transfer window then it is very likely that manchester city will also lose its best form next season. Therefore I think pep guardiola has to hold Walker and Silva to stay with them next season.

I think you have the correct assumption there, although I don't completely agree with you. Manchester City is a big team that is ready to bear all the consequences when they lose several important players. Gundogan and Mahrez have left, it is good to have another player fill the void in that position. Riyad Mahrez last season was good, but he has dropped a bit compared to the previous season. Riyad Mahrez only scored 5 goals in 30 appearances in the Premier League last season, but he created 10 assists to create goals for Manchester City.

Manchester City are not going to lose the balance just because a few players leave, but I agree it will be one of the issues the coach will need to adjust to. Pep Guardiola has some great midfielders, he has strong defenders too, so there shouldn't be too much trouble about his form next season.

That's how I see it as well and also Guardiola has gone through all potential issues in his mind and whether they could get problems if they let players go. If he wants a player to stay, I am sure he would tell the Manchester City bosses to do whatever it takes to convince a player to stay. If they can't, Guardiola will know whom they should sign to fill the position. They aren't going under water next season because out of a sudden they realize that midfielders are missing.

It is very normal for some players to change teams every season. If some players of the team change, the performance of the team does not end completely. Manchester City have lost their best midfielder İlkay Gündoğan and their best defender Kyle Walker is rumored to leave the club. One left and one is trying to leave. Even if these two leave, Manchester City will not be completely lost because Manchester City will definitely hire someone like them to replace these two. Manchester City will try to keep Kyle Walker if he wants to change clubs. If he cannot keep him in the team after trying, Manchester City will definitely make another replacement instead. Players will come and go and hopefully it won't have too much of a negative impact on a club.

Of course they won't be lost and if that was the case, what do you think would Guardiola have done instead of letting them go? He would have told his bosses to take care of these two players and pay them whatever they want to not leave the club. Might be too hard in the case of Kyle Waker depending on where he goes, but they could have convinced Gundogan to stay if Guardiola had seen no other chance but to keep him in the team. The most important midfielder is still Kevin De Bruyne I think.
Gundogan played an unbelievable season, but De Bruyne is still a bit better than him in my opinion.

I am not sure it is dan-dan with Jesus and Eddie. Except if Eddie leaves.

I don't really know why some of arsenal fans are complaining about club to add one more striker to the two strikers we have already, but If may say I will just concluded that those fans complaining that Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah currently that they are not reliable just want the club to sign world class striker but they don't really know that it is not only striker can do it alone, not knowing that is the work of all squad.

Since Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah are both available right now, based on my observations of their respective striker performances from last season, I don't believe Arsenal needs any additional strikers right now. I can only say, however, that Arsenal needs alternatives for key players, including Saka, Gabriel Magalhaen, and the goal keeper. Others, in my opinion, have replacement choices for now.

The fact that the team used the majority of its key players last season, overworking them to the point of overexhaustion, I believe, hurt the squad's performance towards the end of the season that their not able to lift premier league trophy.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Arsenal have strengthen certain positions and overall, they have been been  scoring goals and creating chances together. They have definitely improved their team on paper, it's left to be seen whether the improvements will be transmitted into our performances this season though. I hope that the experience they gained challenging for the title last season will come in handy this season as mental strength is often an overlooked aspect of the game, Manchester City are still the favourites for the league with then & Manchester United being the strongest challengers for the titles.

Yes indeed, after all, we also cannot expect a quick success from Erik ten Hag for Manchester United. Because after all, Pep Guardiola is basically a top coach but still, Pep Guardiola also spent a lot of time to be able to make Manchester City have the excellent performance and dominance as it is today. Therefore, with Erik ten Hag can make Manchester United compete well in the top four in his first season. For me, that is already a success and of course, it is worthy for Erik ten Hag to continue his development to make Manchester United can have good dominance as well later.

Yes, Arsenal's attack line is still lacking. However, there is still a chance to bring in an attacker before the league starts. But overall, yesterday's game against Barcelona had a similar look to last season. Because almost 80% of the composition of the players in the first half was the same as last season, only minus Xhaka and Zichi. After several substitutions and entering the 2nd half, the line-up looks better than last season.

Hopefully, Arteta can strengthen the mentality of his players. Last season proved to be consistent. Arteta's mistake at the end of the season that dropped 11 players, that's all. Where layered players are inadequate and the mentality of the players goes down. now squad depth is good. if you don't get a trophy this season it will be a shame.

I will understand the dissatisfaction of Arsenal fans who say this because you know that without winning a trophy last season they were under pressure and insisted on reaching the top of the Premier League standings until the end. So don't be surprised, even though I admit that Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah have done their best in the end it will always be considered lacking.

Arsenal is quite active in the transfer market and there is no other reason to complain next season. We see that as a challenger to Manchester City, Arsenal must appear perfect, not only as individuals but as a solid team.

I dont think Arsenal needs goals, right? Last year, they scored 88 goals, two behind Man City. I can see why many want a new striker, but I don't think it's necessary. Pay attention! Gabriel Jesus only scored 11 goals last season, but isnt it too early to worry? It takes time to adjust to a team's culture and find your position in it, and I think thats happening here. They've added Haverzt and Rice, which is promising. This area is not deserted. Just because the transfer market is chaotic, don't judge. As the saying goes, Rome wasnt built in a day.

Sometimes it turns out that "tough" coaches who emphasize discipline and subordination achieve success in the first season, but in the second season the tension in the relationship already becomes unbearable and the team regresses. Let's see how Ten Hag manages to avoid this. As for the goals for the season, I will be happy if United will be in the top 4. There is no chance of moving the City.

What Arsenal last season was great even though they did not have one specific target man to score goals in every match because they were playing collectively and many players could score goals.
Why people want them to sign a striker, maybe they want to have a target man who has a great skill to score goals in any opportunity, a striker that they did not have last year.
Reasonable enough if many people want it and it is good if they can sign a real striker with great skills but if they can have it this season, their gameplay should not be changed significantly because it is possible if they have 1 new great striker then they will be focused to pass the ball to the striker most of the time.
