Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Lordhermes]

I saw some video bad finishing by Rasmus Hojlund while with Atalanta. Actually as a striker 32 times played and 9 goals seems like a not very good statistic. But it looks like Ten Hag has another view. Perhaps his young age is enough to make Ten Hag confident that he can change the bad views of football observers. Many people also hope that Rasmus Hojlund can be Haaland's competitor and be the solution to the attacker's problems. At the moment Ten Hag has several options so Rashford probably won't be exhausted and injured a lot.

I also saw it because I was quite curious about the young players who really wanted to target Erik Ten Hag. In my opinion Rasmus Hojlund just needs the right coach, it doesn't matter if it's already in the hands of Erik Ten Hag. Hojlund could well develop the process would answer it all. So don't worry, it's just a matter of returning to yourself whether you dare to change or not. Because he is considered a talent who has the potential to become Haaland competitor based on several sources that I have read, but whether it is true or not, we will see later.

Something that is very obvious or glarring will always be seen by more than one person. When I saw that very video, I was very much confused about the decision of Manchester United coach to bring the Young lad to the team.
I know he is still young and the Manchester United coach has the ability to make every young player a better player under him, but then my issue is about the amount he was bought.

It is not that there is scarcity of strikers in the market.  There are available strikers in the market, but just that Manchester United does not want to spend much and in the end they still spent much.

I would have preferred Harry Kane than Rasmus, but considering age and for the future purposes, I'll keep Rasmus, he is talented and has a magic Left foot.

Ten Hag will bring the best out of him, he will solve the striker issue Manchester United has now. But it won't be immediately, he requires time and patient from both the player and fans. Rasmus is for the future.

I hope that after the departure of the captain, Liverpool will not face difficulties again, as it was when Mane left the club... At the end of last season Liverpool started to show good results, how they have again drastic changes in the team... Would really hate to see them lose their playing form again...

It will not be a problem for liverpool. Klopp has been choosing a new captain for liverpool. He was van dijk. So many people were surprised to see van dijk has become a new captain for liverpool. I can understand it caused by van dijk was a veteran in liverpool.
He will be able to take the role that owned by henderson in the past as liverpool's captain. Congratulation for van dijk to be a new captain for liverpool. This guy is also contributing a lot to the club.
The departure of henderson from liverpool means nothing caused by klopp had van dijk which is also having experience in leading the club.

Maybe right now could say that Erik Ten Hag is gambling for the future of Rasmus Hojlund. With such a high nominal at such a young age, of course anyone would be quite doubtful about this decision. Regardless of how Atalanta raises the price, it is still difficult for Manchester United to find other options. Erik Ten Hag's wish has always been a unanimous and firm decision so inevitably he will fight for it even though finances are limited. After buying Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United did not have an additional budget unless Erik Ten Hag released Harry Maguire.

[examplens]

What you see, I just finished watching it and actually Rasmus Hojlund is really bad at finishing. Until now I don't know what made Erik ten Hag want him so much as a Manchester United striker for next season. He is a little younger than Haaland and indeed for the long term a player like Rasmus Hojlund is what Manchester United needs the most, but if in one season or after there is no improvement in terms of finishing then it is certain that he will not be as mature as a great striker like Erling Haaland .

Do not follow football only through statistical numbers from Sofascore or similar. Also, journalists like to write spectacular things, so their analyzes must be bombastic rather than based on serious analysis.

ETH definitely changes the club policy of the type of players it brings, and if we look at those who came, they all came because of him and the legacy of the club. Most of them rejected equally lucrative offers because they wanted to work with ETH at Man United. Unlike, for example, Pogba, Sanchez, and Di Maria, now he brings players who want to play for the club. This is a significant difference and improvement in the transfer policy.

If we talk about player performance improvement, look at what ETH did with most of the inherited players in MU, they all made serious progress. So, are the doubts about the progress of the talented 20-year-old player really justified?

Why are Hojlund and Haaland persistently compared? Because of a similar last name?

[Sebas.tian]

Erling Haaland is the top favorite again to become the highest goal scorer next season in the EPL, his chances are higher because he is a very prolific striker and he is complemented by a brilliant club like Manchester City which is the best team in England and Europe. Harry Kane scored a lot of goals last season and should have been the highest goal scorer if not for Haaland, if he stays in Spurs, i expect him to score many goals as he always does, but not more than Erling Haaland.

The purpose of Pep Guardiola picking Erling Haaland to be his frontline attacker was because he knew the crucial challenges the Norway international would displayed towards his opponents. Erling Haaland is a goal machine and a top striker for the cityzens, perhaps he doesn't have a good footings on the ball. But with previous development and improvements, the striker starting to develop and improve in all rounds as a quality striker just like Harry Kane. We shouldn't compared the newly incoming Erling Haaland to Harry Kane, ofcourse the englishman have been in Tottenham Hotspur for years without lifting a title, the possible chances is his club are reluctant in performance and not ready to win a title yet.

Erling Haaland has created many opportunities for his players to have access to their opponent goalpost just to make the team to achieve their victory at the moment, which is part of some of the things that made Pep Guardiola not to regret for his signing, and he has brought a good name to the team. He was able to help Manchester city to achieved many goals that help the team to top through out the premier league table, and he still have more skills to display in this season that will make his coach to be more happy. There are many quality players in Manchester city than Tottenham Hotspur, which is the reason Erling Haaland has the opportunity to manifest during the Europa league competition and premier league competition.

Well and he is the third player signed by Manchester United for around 70 million, I think there are still many who doubt his performance and maybe many people will say that too. I haven't seen much of an impact from him since at his previous club and it begs the question of why Ten Hag brought him in. Ten Hag signed a player who could be said to have no certainty about his appearance. And we know that the Premier League is about to start. But maybe Ten Hag saw it not only from one side, I didn't see anything from him but maybe Ten Hag had strong reasons for this decision. One of them is maybe for him Rasmus Hojlund is a player who has good potential and it is clear that Ten Hag will develop him more.

If in the end Rasmus Hojlund can't deliver a perfect result and Ten Hag can't develop his players then it's clear to say that this is a ridiculous deal he has done.

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has signed more players in order to improve their performance next season; there is no room for complacency; everything must be done to delight the supporters and accomplish the team's ultimate goals. Rasmus Hojlund is still young and has a lot to learn in order to thrive at Old Trafford. Rasmus would be a fantastic player; he's in the ideal club and has the potential to become a prolific goal scorer for his new club. All he needs right now is time and progress, and Erik Ten Hag knows exactly what he needs to do to improve the performance of his squad for the upcoming season.

[Luzin]

His bad statistics together with the expensive cost paid by Manchester United make this transfer is funny and likely stupid for Manchester United. They look to be panic buying again and accepted the expensive price which is overpaid in my opinion.

With his £73m transfer, he should have got a better player even though he might be older. But Ten Hag's view may be a long-term function.
 

Is it an unrealistic hope from Manchester United, Ten Hag and their fans?

It's possible, young people who still have long-term progress. Indeed, comparing with Haaland is quite far, because his record is indeed not very good. But it seems that Ten Hag will give him the number 9. A number synonymous with killer attackers.

Manchester United needed an experienced striker. As the team aims for the Premier League title next season. At the same time, Manchester United also managed to qualify for the Champions League. I don't know why Erik Ten Hag is adding a young player like Rasmus Hojlund to the squad without adding an experienced Striker. Rasmus Hojlund is quite a good striker. But we are not sure if he can do well with Manchester United next season. Rasmus Hojlund will certainly need a long time to adapt to Manchester United and the Premier League environment. A better performance is not expected from Rasmus Hojlund next season. Ten Hag is probably planning for the long-term now with the Manchester United squad.

[Furious 7]

With his current condition, actually the price of 20 million also I think it is very good for Maguire
Maguire's condition is getting worse and worse at Manchester United and when he is given the opportunity, he is like a player who sides with the opponent lol.

I think he really has to try something new at a smaller club because to be at a big club like Manchester United Maguire is quite difficult actually and his performance is very different from him in Leicester uniform.
But talking about West Ham's offer to Maguire it seems that it has been rejected by Manchester United because they want around 40 million for the player. But with the performance he is showing now, it is actually like a dream if you want interested clubs to pay 40 million for Maguire.

It seems Manchester United are not desperate to sell Maguire because he will be a good backup for the defensive lineup of the team. They are willing to let him stay and fight for a position in the first team. But coach Erik Ten Hag has made it clear that he will not also stop him from moving to any club he feels he would get better treatment. I don't think Manchester United will get anything more than £20m from his sale because his performance has not been impressive.  But Maguire is still young and tends to improve in the future if he puts in more effort. Sometimes it is so good to move to another club. Most players can improve if they play under another coach. West Ham coach David William Moyes might unlock the hidden potential of the former captain of United.

A good reserve? With his performance like that for Manchester United I think being a reserve player is not really worth it either. One of the reasons Manchester United don't sell is that they are afraid of losing too much, but rather than just throwing money away on a salary that is not comparable to his performance I think 20 million is still very worth it.

It is difficult to want more money from Maguire with his performance like this and if Manchester United still hold Maguire but his performance does not improve, I think this will actually be more detrimental not only for Manchester United but for Maguire himself.
Now Manchester United will have 2 friendly matches back, let's see if in these 2 matches Ten Hag still gives confidence to Maguire or not.

It can't be denied that you are on point here with your statement. Manchester United hasn't been very active in terms of top strikers in the market. Rashford  was the best offender with 17 goals and after him there was only Fernandes with a mere 8 goals and then Martial with 6 goals. Quoting these numbers here actually makes me realize that finishing 3rd in the Premier League is quite an achievement with such a weak offensive line.

Rasmus Højlund is not the obvious solution to their problem unless he enfolds as a super talent turning into a super super efficient striker without any time needed to adapt to the team and the league. But what are the odds?

Mason Mount was a great transfer, but he is also no Harry Kane or Erling Haaland, but now that they are also playing the Champions League it is time for a big investment.

[Litzki1990]

After Jordan Henderson decide to leave Liverpool and moved to Al Ettifaq currently there was a vacant position for Liverpool captain then it make Klopp have to decide who will be the next captain immediately and today it has been decided that their defender player Virgil van Dijk officially will be the next Liverpool captain and this is not a surprising decision by Klopp because last season van Dijk has been several times playing as a captain and i think this is right decision by Klopp because since arrived from Southampton van Dijk has important role for Liverpool squad and for the second captain Klopp has been choose Trent Alexander-Arnold

I hope that after the departure of the captain, Liverpool will not face difficulties again, as it was when Mane left the club... At the end of last season Liverpool started to show good results, how they have again drastic changes in the team... Would really hate to see them lose their playing form again...

Right now Klopp and Liverpool management well aware of all challenges which are going to face in next season because right now they are out of the Champions League and having not easy next season as well so most chances they will do their all homework before the start which will give them better result and performance for the next season.

Now Henderson and Fabinho both are departures which is surely big setback for them, but currently negotiations are going on with few top ranked players which will revealed in next few days and most chances they will be able to have their required players from relative clubs which will give them good chance for having better results and improved performance in coming season Mbappé saga is also on with now Liverpool is also involved which is interesting.

Two quality stars have already departed from Liverpool, which can lead to a slightly poorer performance on the field. The two players who left the club too soon should be replaced by new players. Liverpool must think they can sign better players than left.  

The following season Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League but they did qualify for the Europa League and Liverpool had a chance of winning the Europa League for the first time. At the moment Liverpool is considered as one of the most favorite teams in the Europa League but if Liverpool do not sign some quality players then the Europa League may miss out on them so Liverpool must recruit some quality players to the club.

[shinratensei_]

Ten hag has admitted that if premier league is far tougher compared with bundesliga. This makes sense caused by there are so many great clubs in EU compared with bundesliga which is only 1 good club in the league and that's bayern munchen.
Ten hag said that after sancho has not showed yet good performance last season. That statement was reasonable caused by the fact that if the competition becomes even stricter since saudi investors were also coming to the EPL.

Signing hojlund could become the best choice for ten hag caused by the club must have a good striker at this moment. So many clubs were massively building their clubs again to have better result in upcoming season.
ETH hopes sancho to show better performance compared when he was playing in the dortmund. ETH must have pushed him to surpass his limit. That's the only way for sancho to be in higher level compared with this time.

I think it's quite late, if Erik ten Hag just realized about the Premier League being more difficult compared to other leagues. Because after all, Erik ten Hag should have realized this from the start, or maybe when Erik ten Hag just got an offer to become a head coach at a club playing in the Premier League at that time. Because after all, many great coaches have failed to become head coaches of Manchester United, at least this can also be realized earlier. Because anyway, if at the beginning Erik ten Hag had realized about the difficulty of building a consistent squad for competition in the Premier League, then of course Erik ten Hag would have better considerations about suitable and appropriate players to be included in the squad.

Klopp is really taking a risky move by selling their two veteran midfielders, it's similar like Chelsea. Although the performance of both Chelsea and Liverpool in club friendlies are good enough, but we don't know what will happen in the real match.

Chelsea and Liverpool lack of midfielders.
Manchester United lack of strikers.

I would say Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are shining in this season.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I don’t even care about Goalkeepers arranging their defence but that reaction from Onana to Harry Maguire was over the top and the only reason he did that was because it is Maguire. I don’t think he can attack Varane like that or Rashford or Bruno Fernandes. I think Maguire is an easy target. Even his colleagues don’t regard him as much anymore. Wonder why the guy is still in Manchester United. He is suppose to force his way out because the abuse is becoming too much.

It seems like that you didn't even watch the highlight. It's better for you to watch it first. That mistake being made by meguire. It's common to see a goal keeper as the last wall for the club gave such a reaction. it's not normal to let meguire make more and more fault.
MU ended lost against dortmund which is unacceptable caused by it has been three times MU was losing in the friendly matches. As a defender and it becomes his main job to keep the club away from the opponent's attackers.
What you said above doesn't even make sense. It's likely you don't even watch it. Why shall goal keeper blame fernandes or rashford if they were not making fault like meguire?
It doesn't even make sense. Think about that. Have you never seen meguire make a blunder that made MU in disadvantage like the match against sevilla?

I watched the match and my viewpoint is still the same. Maguire is the scapegoat. Lindelof, Williams and Eriksen were at fault for all the goals conceded but as usual Maguire is the easy target. I see everyone happy with that being a new signing, I think there are different ways to pass message to your teammates and I believe this one is a No for me. What happens when he makes a mistake, should they all come for him in this manner?

Chelsea and Liverpool have lost their best midfielders and we will probably see the impact when the main matches kick off. The team manager and other coaching staff should give a lot of importance to every aspect of the team to complete the team.  

Manchester United are suffering from lack of experienced strikers but they have not been able to sign any experienced strikers till now. Betting on Cristiano Ronaldo was a wrong decision. By bringing Cristiano Ronaldo into the team, they may have thought that they would be able to cover the lack of their main striker but Cristiano Ronaldo did not perform according to their expectations due to which Manchester United was forced to release Cristiano Ronaldo. Even after Cristiano Ronaldo left United, Manchester United could not take any striker of good quality to the team.  

A team that has weaknesses must improve in those areas only then good things can be achieved with that team.

Klopp has now started to regenerate young players, old players have been sold because it will not be productive anymore even though we know Fabinho is a pretty good defensive midfielder, but for me it's a good move by Klopp.

Currently Klopp is eyeing Southampton midfielder (Roméo Lavia) with an initial offer of £42 million but as Fabrizio Romano said it will be rejected unless Liverpool bid £50 million as the Southampton club wants.
Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1686358221059985408
Roméo Lavia is currently 19 years old and still very young, Klopp will definitely nurture talented players.

Man United came to Rasmus Højlund, I think it's a good striker.

[MAAManda]

I saw some video bad finishing by Rasmus Hojlund while with Atalanta. Actually as a striker 32 times played and 9 goals seems like a not very good statistic. But it looks like Ten Hag has another view. Perhaps his young age is enough to make Ten Hag confident that he can change the bad views of football observers. Many people also hope that Rasmus Hojlund can be Haaland's competitor and be the solution to the attacker's problems. At the moment Ten Hag has several options so Rashford probably won't be exhausted and injured a lot.

Erling Haaland can't be compared to Rasmus Hojlund, even when Haaland is at Hojlund's age he can score a lot of goals and has a good finishing. I believe that ETH is just gambling on Hojlund's transfer, because despite his young age, at least Manchester United will have a replacement for their striker. If later he will be officially introduced as a new Manchester United player, I can't wait to see how he performs in official PL matches.

Maybe both Jergen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino think they have to make a complete overhaul of their respective squads. It's true that this is very risky, but I think this is the right moment to start rejuvenating the squad. Many have said that Liverpool and Chelsea player transfer policies are not very appropriate, but that will be seen when the league officially rolls around.

The EPL, which we know is the most competitive league, will be the most difficult place for the adaptation process for every player. It will be interesting to wait for the results of Klopp and Pochettino transfer concoctions, and don't forget Ten Hag.
