Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Docnaster]

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

Maybe it's just a settling-in problem but so far it's really hurting seeying him

The problem of Manchester United is wholistic and not a goalkeeper fault. The Manchester United teamis not stabilised even right from preseason time. Last season that Manchester United ended 3rd in the English Premier League table, we saw that they had good preseason and after the first two matches that they performed poorly other matches were excellent. This cannot be said of Manchester United of today where by no part of the team is OK. The defence is having deficiencies because of injuries, same with the midfield and attack. The team has to step of fully for the new season.

At the moment, TH has a conflict with Sancho and, as I understand it, the majority supports TH in this conflict (Sancho is supposedly doing a bad job in training). But I see a certain pattern in TX’s behavior (by the way, he had conflicts with players back in Ajax) and I’m sure that this will not lead to anything good. Being a coach of a top club (United is vying for this role) means not being a dictator, but being able to find an individual approach to each player. TH obviously uses a different role model, “I’m the boss and you’re all fools,” but while he had success, they forgave him for this, soon it seems to me that we will see something different.

It seems Sancho is not going to have good days in Manchester United after this behavior he had in the team and the problem he had with Ten Hag.
We know Ten Hag is not a coach to let a palyer have behavior like this and he will surely make this player say sorry for what he said.
On the other hand, some palyer in Manchester United don't have a good relationship with Sancho, and they start defending their coach, that's why even in Manchester United's locker room some players are not friendly with Sancho anymore.  

In any collective (and a football club is still a large collective) there is always relationship difficulties + in each club the players compete with each other. A normal coach will smooth out these difficulties, a not-so-normal coach will play boss and naturally, in a conflict with some player, will pull other players to his side so as not to be in the minority and not lose the locker room. I cannot call such bickering a normal atmosphere. We are not inside the team and don’t know the specifics, but I know for sure that when good results give way to not so good ones, TH will have a lot of enemies.

In general this is not a good start to the season for Manchester United, but I hope Ten Hag can plan something good for his team this season. There are many obstacles that need to be resolved and this is a demanding job for him. Considering that this is the start of the season, of course there are many opportunities that Ten Hag can still take advantage of, even though it won't be easy.

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

Based on his performance last season, Onana is a very good goalkeeper; he managed to reach the Champions League final but was not fortunate enough to win the title as they lost to Manchester City in the final; he is also a good keeper who helps his team ease pressure and play their opponents from behind because he is very good with the ball in his legs.

However, Manchester United's form had an impact on his performance because defenders contribute to goalie performance; if the defenders are unable to withstand pressure from the opposing attack, the goalkeeper cannot do much. Perhaps it is this that is impacting his performance, rather than the fact that he is a poor goalkeeper.

[Fiatless]

Erik Ten Hag need to accumulate permission to view numerous heinous incidents happening on at Old Trafford. Everything are going to get blown out of proportion, but we should focus on what is good and spread positive energy. The Red Devils confront challenges on two frontlines, with Anthony suffering furious assaults from his ex-partner who wants to cinch him down. On the other side, Erik Ten Hag has made comments about Jadon Sancho not meeting his minimum benchmarks to be included in his starting lineups for league matches. The whole concept seems to be getting out of hand, but I'm hoping Manchester United can sort it out before it blows up in their faces.

The ownership problem is also a big challenge. The fans want a change of ownership but the Glazers are overestimating the club which has made the negotiation for the sale of the club collapse. Anthony's issue is a big problem because the summer transfer window has closed which means that he cannot be replaced by a new signee. If the Brazilian is found guilty of domestic violence, United might end up losing another important player to misconduct after the departure of Greenwood. I think clubs need to take the off the pitch behavior of their players seriously because it can harm the club. Maybe players should be exposed to legal, psychological, and relationship education.

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

Maybe it's just a settling-in problem but so far it's really hurting seeing him

Manchester United generally has a poor team. I know that the club expected much from Onana but if you take a close look at some of the goals he conceded it will be evident that the club has a very weak defense. When a club has a good team, even an average goalkeeper will excel. I don't expect the Cameroonian International to perform miracles. The club needs to fix so many things to make them competitive this season. Onana is a good keeper and is still adapting to the English league and he is still young which means he is a long-time goalkeeper.

[Leviathan.007]

Looking forward to see Amrabat competing in that midfied, the midfied too soft against Arsenal, it needed energy and names like Bruno and Eriksen were absent in that game they did not have a good game and could not beat Arsenal midfielders.
Brighton are one of the sides when building from the backline to the front, with few players absent and Injured for Brighton Man United may have a good chance to win but that defense is too weak. Imagine Harry Maguire saying he wants to fight for his place when Man United should have sent him out on loan or complete sell out. He has never being a good player.

Amrabat is a good addition and will bring a force to the team
He has a great mentality. United needs this at the moment.
And Amrabat worked with Ten Hag when he was still the coach of FC Utrecht.

Maguire is the last choice on United's list of defenders. However, he will get a place to play because of the many injured players.

 
I think people still comparing all the coaches working on Manchester United with Alex Ferguson, the old and legendary coach of Macnsher United.
Teddy Sheringham said if Ferguson was working on Manchester United instead of Ten Hag there could be a better situation and we would not see the drama with Sancho.
Also, Ben Foster said if  Ferguson was still coaching Mancshter Unteid a palyer like Sancho would never be on the team after that behavior.

Manchester United team is performing very well. Last season there were some great problems within the team. However, at the beginning of this season, the team has prepared itself brilliantly.

How is Manchester United performing this season? I haven’t seen anything special about Manchester United's performance this season. To me, Manchester United's performance is really poor. Before the season started, I was expecting Manchester United to be better, but I am just surprised that Manchester United are playing so poorly. Ten Hag has a lot to work on, and currently I don’t see Manchester United contesting for the league title this season unless there is improvement in their performance. Manchester United have just been able to win two matches out of four played, and we all saw how they conceded late goals in their last match against Arsenal.

and in week 5 Manchester United will host Brighton, and this will be a tough job for Erik Ten Hag because Brighton is not an easy opponent considering their game is quite good, especially in counter attacks and they are also in 6th position in the standings.

When the international break is over, Manchester United will be playing against Brighton, which I am sure will be a very difficult match for Manchester United. Brighton's performance this season is really nice, out of four matches played, Brighton won three and lost one, which is not really bad. Seriously, the match won’t be an easy one for Manchester United. I don’t think Manchester United will be able to win the match, and I won’t be surprised if the match ends in a draw because I know Manchester United will also do everything possible not to lose the match.

People exaggerate Ten Hag pe digree and it is somewhat ridiculous and weird; Ten Hag is doing a good job yes, also ten hag is making terrible decisions by setting up media attack for footballers; First was with Ronaldo after he lost his baby; then a media attack round to chase of De Gea; Same was done to Harry Maguire; and now Ten hag has set up Jadon Sancho to the press for a new media attack; thats awful for a manager that keeps on playing underperforming Antony on the flanks.

The coach needs to fix up

He is a good coach but i think he still needs time to get use to the league. People are expecting big results from him because he is in a big club and they are right. He needs to keep his head cool and make some results and start winning titles for Man Utd soon

He's a very good coach and has proven it in his debut season with the club by finishing third last season and leading them into the Champions league and winning the Caraboa club lets not also forget that he also participated in the Fa Cup final last season so I don't know what some Manchester United fans would need him to do to prove himself, if only the board could back him well with funds then  they'll see him competing very well in major trophies, my only proven with Ten Hag is that sometimes he's so miscalculation with his choices and it cost him some matches.
 It's not his fault that all this situations ongoing in the club have been occurring and I'll blame everything that's been ongoing to the Glaziers, as for Sancho several coaches before Ten Hag had complained about his form,and the coach really tried in helping him recover from the mental issue he had and even tried to restore his form but Sancho is slow in picking up even after being tried in several areas of the team.

Onana is a good keeper and is still adapting to the English league and he is still young which means he is a long-time goalkeeper.

Yes, actually Onana is still the best goalkeeper at Manchester United but the bad match last time was not entirely Onana fault but we can see how bad Manchester United's defense is which can always be broken through by their opponents so Onana as a goalkeeper has tried his best to maximize his performance but however, if the goalkeeper is very good but the defense is very bad the goalkeeper can't do anything except just accept inappropriate criticism from some media who ridiculously blame Onana.

From another perspective, all of this could be Erik Ten Hag's fault as a coach who does not have precision in defense which is currently a bad problem for Manchester United and some of the media or fans of this club have given very bad criticism to coach Ten Hag.
But from me personally, Erik Ten Hag has actually tried to provide the best strategy for his club, but currently Erik failure is not being able to bring in high quality players from the transfer market so there is a shortage of reliable players in Manchester United defense.

[Zaguru12]

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

One thing that is sure to happen to him is that lots of pressure will definitely mount on him. Last season he managed to get the clubs first silverware after 3-4 season and then help guide the club back to the biggest European competition and this was what earned him the fans support. This season he is yet to get off to a great start but one thing is the season is still young and there many games to go but should things proceed to get ugly as it goes then I think United fans will asking for the departure of the manager.

If you ask me I would say unite can actually bounce back this season to go along away. The first thing to do will be to start getting points away from home especially against the top clubs. This has been a continuous problem since the arrival of Ten Hag to the theatre of dreams. He is currently on a very good run at home but the away record is just too poor and should it be adjusted to like that of the home record then it will be a big threat towards the other teams but should it remain like this then I doubt they will genuinely challenge for the league

Jadon Sancho trending because Erik Ten Hag made few statements concerning his incompetence action in league games, that's solely the beginning of the englishman frustration, Sancho didn't hang up there, rather he restated the fact that he tried his best to suit in the starting XI of Erik Ten Hag but it seems impossible for him, assuming th system is not favorable for him. Erik Ten Hag making crucial mistakes in Old Trafford which will definitely bounce back to the managerial functions in the club. We know how strictly discipline the coach is and he has no rooms for relenting efforts, always keeping his eyes on the brighter sides.

Erik Ten hang didn't start up in the Manchester United as a media person. He wasn't excited being on the camera. And if you can be honest, it was Ronaldo that first granted and interview to bash Erik and Manchester United.
As for the other players, you know how English media blows up some little issues and Manchester United is no different when they want to achieve their goals.
Have you forgotten that Erik gave Sancho some time ago for personal training and fitness and he went and returned with no much changes.
Well Sancho is an Engliah boy, likewise Maguire, that is why the attack on Erik Ten Hag.

Ten Hag is a good Coach, but there are also many good coaches out there in same league that are facing same related challenges he is going through.
One reason I think Sir Alex prospered during his time at Old Trafford is that he was there a long time. He literally made the place his kingdom and the team was loyal and consistent even when some of the players played badly.

Ten Hag and all other good coaches in the premier league has to find the connection with the team. It works like telekinesis. He should stay longer also and maintain a consistent team balance.

There are always many trials and obstacles that a coach who trains a team as big as Manchester United will face. The simple reason is that Manchester United has a good history in the Premier League and Europe, of course whoever coaches them now must return that. It doesn't make sense to get Manchester United into top form that quickly, many coaches have failed to do that for them including Mourinho.

Ten Hag needs to be trusted for 2-3 seasons, but if in the end he fails then I think he should go with his failure. However, one thing that makes it difficult for Premier League teams to win the title is Pep Guardiola's dominance at Manchester City, which in turn has made 19 Premier League team coaches currently think hard about him.

[Rengga Jati]

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

The problem of Manchester United is wholistic and not a goalkeeper fault. The Manchester United teamis not stabilised even right from preseason time. Last season that Manchester United ended 3rd in the English Premier League table, we saw that they had good preseason and after the first two matches that they performed poorly other matches were excellent.

Yes, you could say that Man United's performance hasn't really been the best. At the start of this season, Ten Hag's strategy doesn't seem to be working optimally, it can still be seen that the squad is still not very solid and consistent in competing and implementing its tactics well. Yes, Onana is a talented and good goalkeeper, I'm sure he is still good too. But what you say is true is that this is about the whole team. Even good goalkeepers won't be successful, especially if their back line isn't very strong. Ten Hag still has a lot of homework in the future to strengthen all lines so that they can compete again to become clubs in top standings.

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

Maybe it's just a settling-in problem but so far it's really hurting seeying him

A large part of Onana's disappointing performance so far can be attributed to an overall poor Manchester United defense. Aside from Shaw and Wan bissaka,  other members of the defense don't do much contributions. I know some United fans will call me out about Varane and Lindelof but let's be real. These guys have on/off performances - take Varane for example; some days, he is top tier. Other days, he is just helpless with his defensive duties.

Maybe the problem was not De gea all along but an overall week Manchester United defense. Allison in Liverpool is a good goalkeeper but he suffers a lot anytime Liverpool defense is weak.

Good coach yes; needs time to win the league - NO! Why? when ole was here at Manchester united; lots of individuals were pushing him to win the league title with mcfred, lingard and Daniel James in attack; but suddenly same fan base are begging for patience because ten hag is fan favorite ?

Ten Hag is a good Coach, but there are also many good coaches out there in same league that are facing same related challenges he is going through.
One reason I think Sir Alex prospered during his time at Old Trafford is that he was there a long time. He literally made the place his kingdom and the team was loyal and consistent even when some of the players played badly.

Yes, Ten Hag is a good coach who is clearly overrated. Everyone mentions Sir Alex Ferguson alot; but that old man never went to interviews to speak bad about his players; Rooney drink driving, Rooney drunk to training, Cantona kung fu kicking a fan, Ferdinand drug escapees, Giggs problem, Morisson issues; neither of it made it to the press through the manager; he managed everyone and commanded respect.

Ten Hag going to the press to lie about Sancho is wrong; Sancho has disappeared from social media for over a year, and he returns to say his manager lied against him; and people still fault the player? the manager job includes player management.

[Bananington]

What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

The hype is what has gotten you disappointed so far. Before he moved to Manchester United, there was plenty hype with the news, but what do the fans really want? for him not to concede even with Manchester Uniteds.poor defence? he is not super man. Onana is just a good keeper with extra passing ability which sometimes becomes a problem also for him, a little wrong decision making in his position which is always a critical one can put his team behind.
