Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[harapan]

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.  

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.

You very right with that sayin, Klopp is taking a big risk but some risk are worth taking, they now have vibrant midfielder's for the midfied but only a little few can adapt quickly to liverpools quick transition system of play. But the player's signed can replace the once who already left. Henderson is already old to leave. Mac Allister can fill up well for him also Thiago.
Chelsea lack an attacking midfielder not even a defensive midfielder has been signed they will concede goals this season.
Man United has brought in the player from Denmark but he will have to show himself quickly. They don't need a player to miss chances, a player is needed to score those goals. Arsenal are perfect they will go far this season including Newcastle United.

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.

No doubt! Haaland can only be compared to Mbappe and no one else. Even then it's hard, because Erling changed leagues and took no time at all to get settled in. Mbappe still has done nothing of the sort, but he had a stellar World Cup performance.

It would be exciting if Hojlund lives up to the expectation and hopefully by next year we will compare him to Haaland. But there is also the possibility that we will compare him to Mudryk. Only time will tell.

I don't know about Arsenal being perfect for next season but fair assessments on the rest. I still think City will remain the most complete team after the transfer window closes but I'm liking how other teams are opting for a younger squad. I expect most games to be played at a higher tempo next season.

Agree! Hojlund doesn't deserve to be compared to Haaland. There are still many other players who are more likely to be worthy of being compared to Haaland.

It would be exciting if Hojlund lives up to the expectation and hopefully by next year we will compare him to Haaland. But there is also the possibility that we will compare him to Mudryk. Only time will tell.

Don't put too much hope in amateur players or young players, we have seen many wonderkids in the past who are currently failing, TBH, I hope Hojlund's performance will be like Mudryk's at Chelsea, it is very nice to see Manchester United slump.

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.

Liverpool and Chelsea are both rich clubs. And so they have the ability to form entirely new squads. Coaches Klopp and Poch have probably been given complete freedom to build their squad. Chelsea have played very badly last season. And their performance surprised everyone. The team is not even found in the top 10 of the table. On the other hand, there was some continuity in Liverpool's performance at the end of the season. And so the team was sixth in the table. However, next season both teams will certainly aim to qualify for the Champions League. And Liverpool will definitely be playing for the title. They definitely need a stronger squad if they want to stay competitive with Manchester City, Arsenal and United.

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.

I don't want to hate but Hojlund coming to Manchester United is rubbish except there is something Erik Ten Hag see's in him that I'm yet to find out, he is 20 which is considered a youngster but common, and he has played for at least Sturm Graz and Atalanta as an attacker that must had plenty of opportunities and yet, he had 4 goals for each club which is 8 in total, not bad for a beginner but asking price of 75M EUR is crazy thing Erik is doing, another money on the bin they will later find difficult to sell because I believe they have other good players, he may find it difficult to satisfy them with goals.

He better sit and checks the garbage they have been bringing to the club because so far so nothing good to talk about because he was asked in an interview how he fills in the coming friendly matches they have and he replied that Manchester United doesn't take matches as friendly, they are here for real game, and guess what, they conceded goals, I think that was the friendly match they had with Dortmund and Onana been the new goalkeeper didn't impress too even when all the fault were from the defenders.

No doubt! Haaland can only be compared to Mbappe and no one else. Even then it's hard, because Erling changed leagues and took no time at all to get settled in. Mbappe still has done nothing of the sort, but he had a stellar World Cup performance.

It would be exciting if Hojlund lives up to the expectation and hopefully by next year we will compare him to Haaland. But there is also the possibility that we will compare him to Mudryk. Only time will tell.

You are biting your tongue from what you are saying, you can't compare Haaland and Mbape on the major ground just because he had a good season and treble for Manchester City. Do you know what it takes to win a world, he has been there twice in 2018 and 2022 and he won one and pushed Argentina to the wall, it was as if the world cup was between France and Argentina to date because that is the only highlight I'm seeing every day and when Manchester City won the Champions, people didn't cheer up as if they did something. If Mbape finally agrees to come to Premier League, you can do the comparison once again but it's too early to do that now.

[asriloni]

We are still less than two weeks to go before we will able to see hojlund's performance with manchester united in the premier league. My guess if hojlund gonna face so many difficulties to play in the premier league.
ETH has big expectation for hojlund. I can't really be sure about him now before seeing his performance directly. Why shall we compare him to the mudryk? we shall compre apple to apple.

It is unfair to compare Mudryk and Hojlund as they played different roles on the field, with Mudryk playing as a winger and Hojlund playing as a striker. We must compare it apple to apple. It sounds non sense if we are comparing him to the mudryk.
We shall be fair in comparing everything. Did you expect hojlund to have the same performance as mudryk in the chelsea?

Of course, Haaland cannot be compared to Rasmus Hojlund. Haaland has proven capable of conquering the premier league in his first season, he also contributed greatly to Manchester City success last season. It's too early to compare Rasmus Hojlund with Haaland, he has just stepped foot in the premier league and has yet to prove anything with Manchester United. Ten Hag's interest in Hojlund based on his performance last season, Ten Hag must develop Hojlund's talent to reach Haaland level.

The big money that Manchester United poured out to bring in Hojlund will pay off if he is able to perform like Haaland in his first season defending Manchester City. Now it is still speculation whether Hojlund will shine with Manchester United or even fail to adapt to the premier league style of play which is tougher than Serie A.

They definitely need a stronger squad if they want to stay competitive with Manchester City, Arsenal and United.

Despite the fact that Chelsea have the money, the results of last season were very bad and therefore Pochettino did not receive proper funding. Instead, a lot of players left the team, so it is difficult to say that Chelsea will be able to show good results in the new season. Although Pochettino is a great coach, he will have to build a new team, it will be a new team and we do not know what they will be capable of. To get approval to buy new players, Pochettino will have to show some results first.

[sana54210]

Im a not Chelsea fan, also want this team to return to its former glory and I dont have high hope, its just enough that this summer, Chelsea will compete consistently with better performance than last season and at least be able to climb to the top 5 in the standing. so there is no need to hope too much for chelsea to be able to compete in other bigger competitions, just focus on the quality of its performance in this premier league.
if the performance is consistent and you can see if you are able to move on to another competition, then you can start in the next season. Im sure that Pochettino will be able to pass the summer strong to give his best for chelsea future development even though it will be a very tough job but if Pochettino wants to solve the problems of Chelsea bad past he must try to contribute to this team patiently and find the best strategy.

I do not know if they will do well enough this year or not, but I know that they have an owner that has a lot of money and that should be the important part. If they have something like that then the rest should follow overtime.

It may not be this year, it may not be next year, but it will eventually happen because an owner that is willing to spend money for the team is an owner that will make it work. Plus, with FFP they just prolonged the contracts as long as possible to stay in the financial fair play limits, they just made sure that they had players for very long term, and if they want to sell them they can, which will make it seem like they didn't actually spend as much as they spent and these type of smart spending will make them better.

You are correct, mate. Both Chelsea and Liverpool lack midfielders, with Liverpool lacking a good midfielder in my opinion. Even when Liverpool tries to win their preseason match, I am not satisfied with it because preseason matches are not a serious match. Liverpool performance looks very poor in the 2022/2023 season, which makes them miss the opportunity to perform in the champion league next season, and I believe this. One of the top players on the team and one of Liverpool's two players that leave  to Saudi Arabia is a very excellent midfielder. Without a competent midfielder, I don't think a team would be able to set up goalscoring opportunities.

And with regards to Manchester United, the team is in need of a striker because, even in their preseason game, the only position that is lacking is that of a striker. Manchester United likely needs a striker by the start of the league, but from what I can tell, it will be very challenging for the team to find a good striker because all of the top popular striker players that we are aware of are on the market, many teams are vying for their services, and they are about to sign them, Manchester United must take action quickly before the league begins because they are also participating in the champions league, which is not the same as the other leagues you could think of as minor leagues.

I don't know about Arsenal being perfect for next season but fair assessments on the rest. I still think City will remain the most complete team after the transfer window closes but I'm liking how other teams are opting for a younger squad. I expect most games to be played at a higher tempo next season.

Manchester City is an all-time favourite, but the problem is that two of Manchester City's most important players have left the club in this transfer window. Riyad Mahrez and İlkay Gündoğan were instrumental in winning the Champions League trophy last season and these two key players have already left the club. One of these two moved to Barcelona and the other to the Saudi League. The transfer window is not over yet and there are rumors that other players could leave Manchester City such as Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva. Two have already left the club and it would not be good news for Manchester City if these two leave the club. Given the strength of their squad, Manchester City will certainly try to keep Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva in the squad.

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.

It's a bit odd that Ten Hag doesn't realize the Premier League is more stringent than other leagues, to be honest I have a hard time believing it. The Premier League is known as one of the most difficult domestic competitions in Europe, so it doesn't make sense that a coach of the class of Ten Hag doesn't realize that ever since he accepted the big responsibility from Manchester United.

Ten Hag can't change a whole team in one season, that's a fact. But I believe Ten Hag can adapt his needs hopefully especially due to the budget constraints he received from Manchester United every season. If Ten Hag has had many seasons at Manchester United then I believe he can build a better team.

[hahay]

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.

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.

Yes, after all, the player who can rival Haaland in this era may only be Mbappe but unfortunately, Mbappe does not play in the Premier League which certainly makes Haaland seem to have no serious competitors in the Premier League. Also, Hojlund is still very young and if the statistics obtained when Hojlund played at Atalanta are just like that, then I personally do not believe Hojlund will be able to play well at Manchester United. Because after all, basically Serie A and the Premier League are very different leagues in their style of play. So yes, playing in a very difficult league like the Premier League, then of course it will not be easy for young players who do not have a good winning mentality in competition.

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.

I know Hojlund is still a young player, but we cannot compare him with Erling Halaan. Why? Because I'm still seeing Hojlund as a beginner player in Atlanta, where he played as an attacker. Haaland is a good player, and even when Halaand was this guy's age, he played more than what the guy is currently playing. So I don't know, but even if the guy goes to Manchester United now, I don't know who he will replace there because I think they are fully squad there, but maybe the coach knows what he sees from the guy that he needs him, and again, for me, the money they requested for that guy's transfers is too much: 75 million euros for Hojlund, which is pretty crazy. What is he playing that Manchester United will pay that money to get the guy?

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

A midfielder is very important. I don't know why Liverpool sold those guys, and for Chelsea, I think they still need to be well prepared because there are still some lapses I'm seeing in the friendly matches, and if they do not make the right move, both Liverpool and Chelsea may experience a tough season. The fact that the main positions are weak means that it will be very easy to tear their house down and score goals. However, I was expecting Liverpool to do well this coming season. I don't know why they sold their two midfielders, and for this reason, I have lost hope for Liverpool, but let us wait and see what they will do before the season begins.

[bitLeap]

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.

Don't forget the tradition for the England national team, whoever the players are will become players who are often defended by the club even though the player's performance is bad, including Maguire himself has been trusted as a player for the England national team for a long time. So I'm not surprised that Man United still doesn't let him go, especially at such a cheap price. However, there is a slight difference in principle, Erik Ten Hag actually dared to take decisive action, namely selling Maguire, which the Man United coach had never done.

And with regards to Manchester United, the team is in need of a striker because, even in their preseason game, the only position that is lacking is that of a striker. Manchester United likely needs a striker by the start of the league, but from what I can tell, it will be very challenging for the team to find a good striker because all of the top popular striker players that we are aware of are on the market, many teams are vying for their services, and they are about to sign them, Manchester United must take action quickly before the league begins because they are also participating in the champions league, which is not the same as the other leagues you could think of as minor leagues.

More precisely, Man United needs a striker with sharp instincts, not only capable of good finishing but also very commensurate individual skills. Therefore, Erik Ten Hag's big hopes need to be fulfilled by Rasmus Hojlund. He will be different from Rashford style of play which tends to be unstable in terms of execution and often loses control of the ball, so Sancho, Antony and Garnacho also need to show balance in supplying the ball to the midfield.

But I believe Ten Hag can adapt his needs hopefully especially due to the budget constraints he received from Manchester United every season. If Ten Hag has had many seasons at Manchester United then I believe he can build a better team.

That's right, it's impossible to change the club as a whole at one time in the transfer market, especially a club as big as Man United. Most club owners and fans now demand instant results from players and coaches, can't wait to wait a little longer so that the squad they build has a strong foundation so they can win trophies every season. For now, Ten Hag has a qualified squad to wade through the EPL next season, beating Liverpool when viewed from the club that has the most expensive squad.

Agree with you that Ten Hag could have won several trophies if he had stayed a little longer at United, like Pep Guardiola building Man City for seven years until he finally became the best in Europe last season.

[Mame89]

Yes, after all, the player who can rival Haaland in this era may only be Mbappe but unfortunately, Mbappe does not play in the Premier League which certainly makes Haaland seem to have no serious competitors in the Premier League. Also, Hojlund is still very young and if the statistics obtained when Hojlund played at Atalanta are just like that, then I personally do not believe Hojlund will be able to play well at Manchester United. Because after all, basically Serie A and the Premier League are very different leagues in their style of play. So yes, playing in a very difficult league like the Premier League, then of course it will not be easy for young players who do not have a good winning mentality in competition.

In my opinion, looking at it now, it looks like Haaland will be the next scapegoat after the end of the Lionel Messi and CR7 era. As long as Mbappe is still playing in French Ligue 1, during that time he will never be able to develop into the best players like CR7 and Messi now. In my opinion, what is appropriate to compare with Haaland is that Vini Jr. still young and talented. Last season Vini Jr. still lost in goal productivity compared to Haaland, but with the potential that Vini jr has, moreover he plays in one of the best leagues namely the Spanish League, the opportunity to overtake Haaland's goal record is very clear. still wide open. But if Haaland moves to Real Madrid, of course, he will become a serious competitor for Haaland.

It really doesn't add up to compare Hojlund vs Haaland. because I think both are too early to compare. Especially if the statistics are very different, especially after Haaland won the trophy. Halaand has also proven himself, but his performance cannot be separated from the support of Man City's good players. We'll see this season, it's a shame the players are mentally burdened, like Darwin Nunes vs Haaland last season and see the results, so let Hojlund develop like before in comparison.

I don't believe and I'm sure he knows the Premier League is the most competitive league from other leagues of course he realizes all that, so there is no word of regret or late for choosing Manchester United.

Yes it is not easy to manage a club very quickly of course it takes a process and also the budget that the club has, this has been adjusted and Erik Ten Hag who can conclude the players he wants for his own project then the team will provide a budget.
Erik Ten Hag believes that he will take his team forward.

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

I also think Klopp allowing two of his most experience midfielders the duo of Henderson and Fabinho to leave the club for Saudi Arabian clubs could backfire in the long run because relying on his two new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai might not yield much impact, the other midfielders like Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic don't really have much experience except Tiago who is injury prone, premier league is becoming very competitive and for Liverpool to remain consistent in clinching atleast a top 4 spot they needed some experienced players combined with the new signings to matchup with other top clubs in the league
