Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Razmirraz]

I’m pretty sure a lot of people had a lot of confidence in Onana when he was brought in to Manchester United. I mean, who wouldn’t? He did an amazing job over at Inter Milan, he just had to be brought in.
I remember watching the game and seeing him sitting so dejected, I felt sorry for him. He probably didn’t think he would have conceded as much goals as he has done in his time at Manchester United.
He’s most likely under some pressure to get better but he can only do so much considering the defense isn’t entirely free of any fault.

Of course it's, but since Onana didn't play as good as he was still in Inter, people are don't like him anymore.

However it's true Inter have many high quality defenders, while Manchester United's defenders are really weak. It can be the defender, but it can be the goalkeeper or both of them. It's not an easy decision for Ten Hag to search for new defenders or new goalkeeper.

Onana performance has dropped drastically since playing for Manchester United, he seems to have lost his skills like when he was playing for Inter Milan and Ajax Amsterdam. Blaming him for the downturn that Manchester United is experiencing is very unfair, Manchester United is not just Onana, there are still 10 other players who are also responsible, including Ten Hag for the bad results achieved by MU.
Manchester United poor performance actually stems from the strategy used by Ten Hag and harmony in the dressing room is another factor. Onana needs to be given the opportunity to prove his quality, when players in other positions are able to give their best performances, Onana will also work more easily in protecting Manchester United goal from attacks by the opposing team.

Raya is a good goalkeeper. I think Arteta was not trying to just bring in another backup goalkeeper this time. No, he wanted to bring in another starting goalkeeper. He wants to have two goalkeepers that can play for them as main goalkeepers. He wanted to have a backup goalkeeper, who is as good as the main one.  in case, something happens to one goalkeeper, the other will not be a problem for the team. Now first of all I think this is really good for the team. But the two goalkeepers might have a little problem regarding which one is getting more playtime. But Raya definitely came into the team knowing that right?

Arsenal have many competitions to play this season, there will be enough games to go round for every player even the goalkeepers. The goalkeeper who will have more time and be the keeper for very important and serious games will be the goalkeeper who has performed better in the games that they have started. It is a healthy competition, that both goalkeepers understand it's advantage to the the team. Raya has started two games and kept two clean sheets, when Ramsdale gets his opportunity, he will be focused on being impressive too and trying to make sure that no goals go through.

Despite the fact that it's still very early to predict who'll win the English Premier League title this season, Manchester City has shown that they're the favourite to league that they've been winning since the last three seasons. They've won all their five league games this season and are very much control as they lead the English Premier League table with 15 points.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur I think are also serious contenders for the title but when it comes to depth in squad and delivering of good performances, Manchester City stands above they other contenders

City, even though several important players are absent, Pep doesn't mind playing several secondary players. Even Jeremy Doku as a newcomer, did not waste the opportunity by playing with good performance in his two matches. He also contributed to scoring 1 goal against West Ham. It would be very natural if City remained the favorite team in this competition. in fact, they are still believed to be defending their title for the umpteenth time. In their 5 matches, City swept the match clean with a win.
However, there are several teams that are quite strong competitors and have the potential to become obstacles for City to defend its trophy this season. Several teams that are in the top 4 might be an obstacle for them if they meet in the next match. Even though I really doubt Tottenham, however, this team cannot be underestimated. In fact, we are obliged to give Ange Postecoglou as the new Spurs coach the opportunity to prove his capacity to manage Tottenham Hotspur.

But IMO, the teams that are closest to stopping City are Arsenal and Liverpool. I mean, these two teams have a chance to overthrow City in the next meeting. Finally, regarding the issue of the winning candidate winning the trophy this season, we will leave it to time. because, there are still many matches that must be played by all the teams competing in this League.

Unlike the current position with Asernal were no significant success have been registered so far compared to last season where Asernal was on the 1st position on the table for several weeks.

Well I feel that last time they fell a bit short of what clinching the finish to the season. But it's not about luck if you work hard enough. Yeah luck also plays a factor but still last season they weren't that much consistent. In my opinion, if they maintain the consistency till the end then they can really win a title at least. I am satisfied with what they achieved last season but this season with all the signings they have made, they really have to show something that really can win a title atleast in coming future. I mean they have to as I feel that they don't have shortage of anything inside the squad.

  The competition is becoming  tough for Arsenal and they'll be having a very tough match tomorrow against Tottenham who are performing very brilliant this season and i think they'll need luck to win the match against Tottenham and i feet it's goimg to be a draw match because both teams are good currently and would be so careful to concede a goal, but i think Arsenal are the favourites to win the game.
 
 However I'm not going to underestimate Tottenham because they've been so brilliant this season and taking the league by storm,and beating the clubs they come across, I think there new coach is a blessing to the team cause he's changed their style of play and instill a winning mentality into his players, anyways if Arsenal survive Tottenham beating Brentford and Bournemouth won't be an issue for them.

If they lose against Burnley it will be very embarrassing and I also agree that if they lose this match it will threaten ETH's position in his coaching chair. I actually don't have a problem when a club loses because that's normal in a match, but the problem here is that they played badly which resulted in the defeat they felt. I am very sure when they play very well, then we will consider their defeat as a fortune that is not in their favor. But it's different with Manchester United, losing because luck is not in their favor, but they deserve to lose because of their own game.

ETH will not let it happen. The more lose and he will be getting more pressure. Winning against burnley will become the next target by him. I don't even need to explain why, but ten hag needs to find his confidence.
Manchester united can use this match as a way to boost its mentality at this moment. Ten hag has been suffering some bad experience in the previous game. I don't wanna see him to be booed by the fans again due to the his mistake.
Ten hag needs to give hojlund a chance to play full time against burnley. Hojlund needs more time to adapt to the gameplay of manchester united.
His first goal against bayern has proven if he is worthy enough to be considered as a potential striker for manchester united.

Surely he (ETH) will not let that happen, because his status as Manchester United coach will also be at stake if he again swallows unsatisfactory results from this match.
Although maybe this is not the right time to experiment, but he can try to rotate players. Players who have been getting the main place but have not satisfied him can try players who come from the bench. Maybe we will think that it is very difficult to change the game, especially when the player is not a player who can win the main place. But when he is very lucky, then maybe, the player he gives the opportunity will be able to show off and become a differentiator from the Manchester United game.

I think Manchester United club managers do not even need to wait for the Burnley match. They should part ways with Erik Ten Hag. Sometimes coaches cannot adapt to their teams and cannot reflect what they want on the field. That's exactly what happened in Manchester. Therefore, they do not need to be more insistent.

A big club like Manchester United doesn't give everyone a chance for so long. Erik Ten Hag could not take advantage of this chance. There is no point in waiting any longer and they should start looking for a new manager.

Can you enlist just a single reason why you feel Arsenal may have a tough season ahead of them??.. if it's solid, then I'll start believing that any team in the premier league needs to be that timid to survive a season... What would you say about leicester, Sheffield and wolves? Huh? I mean Arsenal are on a very good spot already; holding on depends on Thier consistency now.
Tottenham have signed a couple of core players and I think this season will be really tough for the weaklings... I'm seeing a win for them.

Manchester United have already been rewarded for their decision not to extend De Gea's contract and regrets will now be useless because once a decision has been made it is impossible to change it.
Now Manchester United must realise the mistakes they made not only for the players but for the coaching staff and officials and the main focus now is to restore the performance of several under-performing players, one of which is Onana. They have to find a way how Onana can be better under the Manchester United bar on the other hand for Onana also he must try hard now because apologising and admitting that he is bad enough now will not be the answer.

But wait a minute, does Onana deserve to be completely blamed for conceding 4 goals when beaten by a team that had a better attack line than Manchester United's defense? I think Onana performed better in that match, otherwise Onana would have conceded 9 goals instead of 4 goals.

The decision not to extend De Gea's contract was the right one, but Manchester United failed to strengthen its defense with some better players. I don't agree with people just blaming Onana when Manchester United were beaten by a team with more quality than them, that's not a nice thing to say. If you want to blame, then blame everyone instead of just one or a few.

I think arsenal will definitely learn from their last fuck up last season and try to adjust so that they can secure at least a trophy this season because last season when it comes to performance they actually played very well even to the surprised of many football fans but the one thing they lack was the inability for them to cope when their player had injury.

Andre Onana has realized and has responsibility for that, but I think from mistakes there's a lot of learning for him.
Here's his statement... https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1704607393726808415

For me it's not entirely Onana's fault, but he has a big responsibility after being bought expensively from Inter Milan.

I agree with you that it was a lot of negligence from the defense which was quite weak so it was easy for the opponent to penetrate Onana's goal, which is more of a concern for Erik Ten Hag in defense.

Of course Arsenal must learn from their failures last season, but stopping Manchester City's dominance is not as easy as writing down a wish. Manchester City is still a better team than other teams in the Premier League, even Arsenal must realize that the title competition this season is not only about them and Manchester City, but also about Liverpool and maybe Tottenham. So their hopes will not come true if they cannot win as many points as possible compared to Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City.

If Arsenal wants to win the title, then they have to win all their matches including beating Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City. This is the toughest challenge for Arteta and all his players, so as I said it is not as easy as writing down a wish.

Of course he knows what he has to do, but why don't other players do the same when they don't defend well and don't work together well to score goals? I think he should get appreciation instead of blaming himself for Manchester United's poor defense in the last few matches.

[un_rank]

But wait a minute, does Onana deserve to be completely blamed for conceding 4 goals when beaten by a team that had a better attack line than Manchester United's defense? I think Onana performed better in that match, otherwise Onana would have conceded 9 goals instead of 4 goals.

I will not blame him for conceding 4 goals, but he is to be blamed for the first goal that went in. At this level of football no keeper should be letting that past them. But it is important to notes that higher pressure is on keepers and their mistakes are always costly. A midfielder can misplace a pass or miss a control and it gets overlooked immediately, same with a striker who can fail to make a run or miss a sitter and it is not such a big deal. But any error by a keeper costs the team 9 times out of 10.

Onana still has lots of matches to prove his doubters wrong and he is one of the best keepers with the ball at his feet, he just is not in a team that plays out of the back.

One of the most interesting derby matches in week six, both Arsenal and Tottenham have an unbeaten record this season. What is most unique in my opinion is that both of them have managed to beat Man United this season. I think the strengths of the Gunners and The Lilywhites are quite balanced at the moment. However, if you look in more detail, I agree with you in placing Arsenal as the favorite in this derby. Arteta squad just won the UCL group stage match with a score of 4-0 against PSV, a source of confidence to face Tottenham.

Even though Tottenham are also unbeaten so far in the EPL, beating Arsenal at home requires a lot of effort and luck. I think this will be a match that will produce a title challenge this season, either for Arsenal or Tottenham. Even though the forces are quite balanced, I don't think a draw will happen.

Yeah the first goal was a very big mistake by Onana he could had caught it easily or pushed it away for a corner but he carelessly allowed it slide past him, but I think the defenders also have their own side of the blame as well for letting the Bayern Munich attacker get past them easily, Dalot wasn't very strong enough in the match and allowed Gnabry to bully him then created an chance that lead to a goal.

 Eric Ten Hag has a lot of work to do to get the best out of his players,right now he's short on options and have to manage the players he's got, Onana is not that very bad like people think he might not be as better as degea In shot stopping but he's good and is not yet very confident enough due to a lack of defence to help him but with time i feel he'll pick up, it's a good thing he realised his mistake after the match and accepted the blames of them losing the match.

I agree that it is one of the most interesting games, but I don't think it is for the fact that they have both beaten Manchester United. It is not that overwhelming as Manchester United wasn't very good in some of the Premier League games. What's more exciting is how Tottenham is playing at the moment as that is some really decent football. That's not just some lucky goals, but very well structured and planned out.

Arsenal had some close games, not least the one against Manchester United with those very late goals for Arsenal, but they are also doing pretty well in most of the games and this should be a game on a level playing field for those two teams. I can't predict this one very well. I think Arsenal has a little advantage.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I don't really know what's happening with Son speaking about the game against Arsenal that the Gunners can't withstand them and I'm like just because Tottenham won some of their games and he feels they're better than Arteta's men.
Well if this came up when Harry Kane was in that team I would say they can make life a living hell for Arsenal but I believe the Gunners can beat Tottenham Hotspur home and away this season and to top it all, Arsenal are more stronger than Spurs this season, judging by the way the Gunners are handling business this season.

Even though I am disappointed with Manchester United management's decision towards De Gea, it may not have been the best decision for both parties. De Gea isn't too bad to stay a few more seasons at Manchester United, but perhaps things didn't come to an agreement in his new contract so the decision not to extend the contract has to be accepted.

Meanwhile, I am happy with Onana's performance even though in the last match he conceded 4 goals. Manchester United didn't have a great defense that night and they should be embarrassed by the team's poor performance throughout the match. If only Casemiro didn't score 2 goals, then of course Manchester United would be left with too much of a goal deficit from Bayern Munich.

I mean they have to as I feel that they don't have shortage of anything inside the squad.

Maybe there's no shortage of that, but there are other teams who's line-ups may not be quite perfect, but they're just very strong, also as a team. I'm referring to Manchester City. They may have some problems in their squad, but they don't stop them from winning. Besides, if you look at the situation now, Tottenham are joining this race, who have had a great start to the season and also have a good squad.
