Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Sakanwa]

Tottenham had a very good performance against Man United. Even playing without Harry Kane, they know what to do.

Expects the best performance from Tottenham Hotspur after winning Manchester united was an easy job for Spurs this season, although no one thought they will become victorious in the match. Harry Kane is a top striker and made his presence counts in the club. We have quite amazing players currently in the team, with the results we are having, it means the club will push far this season. Tottenham Hotspur will do well this new season, perhaps the club suffered enough last season, failing to win a spot in US champions league. The new boss will make sure he enchanced the club pattern and players.

I think the little secrete behind Spurs form this early period is because of Maddison they bought from Leicester,when I heard Maddison was going to Spurs,I just new he was going to really improve the team,because we all know how Madison is good and how he is so useful on the pitch.Him playing behind Richarlison and Son will really make them have that attacking force upfront.Despite the fact that Kane has moved on to another club in Germany,I think with the kind of signings that their new coach has made,they can either qualify for top four,or be in the Europa league next season.I am happy that Spurs are leaving upto expectations now,and are even sending a message to people that were doubting their abilities,that they can do without Kane in the team,and I hope their form continues again next week when they face Bournemouth.

I think Tottenham have made a good start to the season. Despite losing Kane they are still able to stay quite productive. Collecting 4 points in 2 games is a good work in my opinion. Especially their winning against Manchester United was really unexpected for me honestly. Because I thought Manchester United wouldn't lose.

But Manchester United had serious problems on scoring goals despite having so many goal attempts. Next time Tottenham are playing against Bournemouth away. I think this is a comfortable game for them. I know they drew with Brentford but Bournemouth are a much weaker opponent.

Oh, you know, when I first heard Kane was leaving Tottenham, I thought their attack line would be like a ship without a captain. I was wrong, though. With Son and Richarlison, they've kept their attack pretty clean. I guess Manchester United could learn something from them. It's clear that Manchester United has trouble up front. Rashford and Anthony? They're good, but it feels like putting square pegs into round holes. Even Mount hasn't found his groove under Erik Ten Hag, even though he's trying. Maybe they need someone to take the lead right away. No matter what is going on, Spurs are having a good time right now. I hope they can keep this up against Bournemouth.

You are not alone in this case because most of the peoples were feeling not good about them and having mindset they could be struggled for the top half of the league table, but their performance in first two games completely change the views about their future and their performance right now after watching first two games now I am also feeling most chances they could be better than Newcastle United and Chelsea because their strategy and aggression both are giving them clear advantage and with this pace they can go through for the top six spots as well even this all is too early but things looking much better.

Manchester United and Ten Haq both are going with same old story and things are not looking good for them in coming days if they are not able to bring positive changes because with current performance and strategy most chances they will be down and out of the top four race.

I wouldn't say Pochettino did a bad job. He is progressing well with Chelsea. Chelsea may not win well in the first two matches. But their performance is not as weak as last season. Their performance is very organized. Pochettino has worked to strengthen the bond between the players. But the problem is that Chelsea's squad is still not strong enough. Chelsea's attack is a bit weak. Pochettino needs to add another experienced striker to the attack. Also Chelsea's biggest problem right now is their defence. They lost badly against West Ham because of poor defence. Chelsea conceded 3 goals. West Ham only had 24% ball possession in this match. They still managed to score three goals. If the defense cannot be strengthened, the expected good performance from Chelsea will not be seen in the upcoming matches.

Are you serious, do you still wish Pochettino asked for a bigger budget to buy more players this season?
Todd Boehly has spent more than 1 billion dollars to build the Chelsea squad, but the results are still zero achievements. Chelsea just need to try harder and build a team out of all the players that have been brought in, but they need time.

Chelsea's performance is still not good in their last two matches, but they have certainly improved. Pochettino will have to put in a lot more effort to shape the mentality and confidence of his players in every game, but it's not an easy job that will have an impact overnight. It will take a long time to get the best form out of Chelsea, even if Chelsea are forced to add more new players to their squad.

It would be very sad to see united sack another good coach again due to poor backing from the their owners as well as mismanagement by the board, a team that's playing in the Champions league Tournament should be more focused in bluster their squad to be very strong and competitive but if you watch the style of play of united you'll understand most players are finding it difficult to understand the coaches pattern and are not fit to play for Manchester united and the star players in the team are playing below expectations, the team play like they're not even qualified to compete in the English championship league they look so weak and tired.
 Erik Ten Hag have a very big decision to make to save his career this season, it might take a miracle to that do because they're imbalanced in many areas of the squad and the FFP rules makes it hard for them to sign more players without offloading some and they're currently facing difficulties offloading some players, both club andmanager needs to act fast in handling the situation before the window opens, left for me I think they need another striker, a holding midfielder and probably another centre defender.

Previously, Pochettino could not maximize the players who had been brought in in this transfer window to be able to perform optimally in the two matches they had played. And Pochettino also has some good players in terms of their experience but they were not included in the last two matches. Call it like Lukaku, He is still an official Chelsea player and at least he had good quality last season with Inter Milan but Pochettino did not include Lukaku name for this season.

I also agree with your opinion. That Chelsea has spent quite a lot of money and they should be able to maximize the quality of the players they have brought in, not to ask for a budget and buy new players again. Well if they do again this must be a big joke.

Boehly approved his coaches to buy players with huge budget but have gotten so limited results from those transfers. They will soon have to stop o slow down the spending intensity. As a businessman, he knows what to do when cost does not lead to benefit after a long time.

Chelsea overpent for many players who are not like super star players and are not deserved with such so expensive transfer prices.

Pochettino just returned to Premier League after a few years and he will need time to familiar with latest changes in the league recent years. Asking him to change Chelsea immediately is too much and pressure but he was hired to do that.

He must improve Chelsea defense and midfield support for defense first as it will be key for Chelsea to avoid losses. If they can avoid losses, their confidence will be maintained and even improved. They have good attacking players who can help them to win matches with good defense behind.

Tottenham had a very good performance against Man United. Even playing without Harry Kane, they know what to do.

Tottenham had enough time to prepare for a team without Harry Kane, that is why they can play better without him right now. Formerly when he was in the teams and their best players, there must have been a lot of dependence on him while he was still at the club, and that would have affected the performance of the other players on the team. With him now in a new club, the remaining players in the club understand that they now have to work harder and together as a team if they must win games. Also, the new coach's strategy of playing attacking football is very good for the team.

I think for now Tottenham is still uncertain because their condition is still unstable and the victory from Manchester United last week still cannot be used as a benchmark that can truly believe that Tottenham can still compete without Kane at this time.
Tottenham's condition until now still has no pure striker for them and indeed it is proven because until now they still rely on Richalrison and it is likely to continue like that until the season ends if they do not look for options.

Indeed in the match against Manchester United they played very well but this is still not enough to rely on that they can still compete because still in the end their performance will continue to be glimpsed in the next match because they could be overwhelmed when facing another match with an easier opponent just like they did in the first week.

If the defense cannot be strengthened, the expected good performance from Chelsea will not be seen in the upcoming matches.

If Chelsea performance has no change (still bad), how we can say Pochettino do a good job?
You admit that Chelsea still has weak attack and fragile defense. They even couldn't win in the first 2 matches in EPL. TBH, I don't see something different between Chelsea in the last season and the current season. Pochettino still can't build Chelsea properly, he needs to show us a positive progress. If there is still many problems in Chelsea squad, I'm not sure he will manage Chelsea a long time.

By the way, we can understand if Chelsea couldn't win against Liverpool. Got a draw is not a really bad result. However, defeated by West Ham with 3 conceded goals is something unacceptable. Although West Ham has some good players, but Chelsea squad should be stronger. There is something wrong with the tactics if Chelsea defense looks so fragile. Pochettino is the man who has the responsibility of this problem.

Alexis Mac Allister was shown a red card in the Liverpool vs Bournemouth match. Mac Allister fouls Bournemouth's Ryan Christie. But Liverpool appeared to appeal and the appeal was accepted. Tantu advantage for Liverpool. Of course, the revocation of Mac Allister made them more confident. They will play Newcastle

Of course it's a good thing for Liverpool ahead of the tough game against Newcastle. Liverpool deserved to thank the Premier League authorities after their appeal for Alexis Mac Allister was accepted and now they are set to face Newcastle at St James' Park.

Newcastle seem like the favorites to win the match based on probabilities, but Liverpool are not a team that can be beaten easily. The improvement in Newcastle's performance deserves special attention from Klopp, of course they are very dangerous after being beaten by Manchester City the previous week. But a draw seems more likely than expecting Newcastle to win.

Tottenham had a very good performance against Man United. Even playing without Harry Kane, they know what to do. Their composure is very good so they managed to develop their rhythm and completely control the game. While Man United is like a team that has just been formed. There is no strong chemistry between the players and they looked confused in penetrating, so many movements were easily read by the Tottenham defense.

It was a problem that the Ten Hag had to solve immediately because if they kept playing with that kind of performance then it could be that Man United should be thrown out of the title race.

Actually, Tottenham have surely shown that even without Harry Kane, they can perform well. Manchester United surprised me with their performance in the match. I didn't expect them to be poor like that. They did not put in any chemistry that will give people assurance that we can think they will play effectively this season. They have some weak positions that need to be strong before the season gets tough because this is just the start. I wasn’t thinking that Tottenham would play that much without Harry Kane because I was thinking they wouldn’t have someone that would hold the position of Kane and do what Kane is doing for them, but right now they have shown it.

Now, I think Tottenham will be among the top four teams in the season, but let us wait and see how they will do in other matches. Still, I believe there must be some teams that, if they meet them, will definitely not survive with a goal, even though this is football and we don’t know how they will do despite the fact that everyone was surprised by their performance against Manchester United.

Tantu advantage for Liverpool. Of course, the revocation of Mac Allister made them more confident. They will play Newcastle

Liverpool were 10 men against the Cherries, alot of changes in the second half, giving the visitors chances to make attempts on goals which were denied by Liverpool defensive strategy. Mac Allister, the former Brighton player and world cup winner was issued a red card for a terrible foul he committed in the game against Bournemouth. Jurgen Klopp is the master planner behind thr thrilled victory of the red's and they will move on to the next game fixture. Their next game will be against Newcastle united, we all know how fierce their opposition is in their present form.

I didn't expect them to be poor like that. They did not put in any chemistry that will give people assurance that we can think they will play effectively this season.

Indeed, we could say that, maybe their performance has decreased quite a bit because after all their line of attack, especially their spearhead, is not as strong as Harry Kane. However, based on their first two matches, they looked quite solid and performed well. Especially against Man United, they looked quite impressive. I think Tottenham will have big difficulties against Man United, especially with the purchase of several Man United players who might also have an influence here, however, Tottenham can really handle it very well. even made Man United unable to score a goal at all even though they attacked several times

I think Manchester United's poor form made it possible for them to win that match, if United had performed well without exposing their midfield area and thereby creating good chances for their attackers then it would had been another story altogether, I don't think I'll say they're ready for the top four or end up there when the tournament is over, with just a win against united yet, because they still got many top contenders for the top four this season and I'll love to see their performance against other inform top clubs.
 However Manchester united shouldn't be write off by this defeat cause things could turnaround for them like it did last season after a terrible defeat in their first two matches against Brent Ford and Brighton, Tottenham has good a good coach and he's going to help build the teams performance to a better one this season but I'm not yet convinced because the league just started and I'll love to watch them play against Mancity, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle or even Brighton.

That's what I thought too when Harry Kane left. When they played against Manchester United I had a feeling that that will be the game that tells us where Tottenham Hotspurs is at and whether they are able to replace Harry Kane good enough to still be taken seriously by teams like Manchester United. And there you go. They haven't just been lucky against Manchester or anything like that. They were absolutely on par with them and played a great game on a top level that was not to be expected after Harry Kane left them. I think they did a much better job than Manchester United who haven't really lost a key player like Kane was for Tottenham. I think ten Haag also thought that the game is going to have a better ending for them than that.

The issue with Chelsea is that (1) most players in there right now are mostly new and they do need time to blend in with each other , if you check Chelsea sold number of players during the last transfer window,  it was almost completely overhauling the team.
(2) The manager himself is still new and his trying to study and understand the players too.

Liverpool are lacking in very strong midfield players, it would have been disastrous for them to play in their next game with one option in midfield out due to suspension. It is good that the club appealed the red card and did not just choose to accept it, else it would have really bad for their next game which is a really strong one as they will travel to Newcastle's home to wage war. Manchester United will also play against Nottingham Forest who can really cause a lot of problems with their striker Awoniyi who is a problem always for defenders to handle. Manchester United supporters will not be happy if they also loose that game.

The current manager of Tottenham Hotspur Ange Postecoglou has shown that he's a very skilled and experienced manager who can successfully bring out the best from his Tottenham squad without the presence of Harry Kane at the club. 
That being said, I think the effect of losing a big player like Harry Kane who's been the club's seasonal top score for almost a decade will be definitely felt in the nearest future by the club. Harry Kane has been very instrumental to the progress and positive results of the club for a long period of time and would definitely be missed

[lalabotax]

..so he should probably be absent until the end of the year.

This is bad.
If he has to be absent for that long, Man City should seriously look for ways so that their performance is not much different when de Bruyne is around. ..

I haven't heard about this but what I've read from some sources is that De Bruyne being out for 4 months is possible but I haven't heard if De Bruyne will be out until the end of the season.

4 months later, it is the end of this year, right?
This is also stated in the news that de Bruyne may be absent for about 3-4 months until the end of this year, not the end of this season. This may be changing depending on how his treatment and condition later.

Pochettino just returned to Premier League after a few years and he will need time to familiar with latest changes in the league recent years. Asking him to change Chelsea immediately is too much and pressure but he was hired to do that.

Maybe you could say that. Because after all, Chelsea had a very bad season last season. But that doesn't mean that at least Pochettino can do his best to try to raise Chelsea to become a top club again. Even though this might be very challenging because the problems at Chelsea are very complex. But at least, if buying players can really match Pochettino's tactics, this is maybe it can happen. Like what Xavi went through at Barcelona where he had to lift a high enough burden to make Barcelona rise again, but indeed he had the opportunity to get several players according to his wishes and also his tactics, so it really worked. whether this will work or not for Pochettino .

[Leviathan.007]

Dani Olmo is another player for Manchester City Pep Guardiola wants to hire him for the next season and he is also in a situation he can play for years in Manchester City because of his age.
But Dani Olmo is under contract with Leipzig and since they need this player, Leipzig said they will not accept any offer for this player and they need him for the next season.
