Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[BRINIRHA]

When he was at Ajax and Inter Milan, we all saw the quality of Andre Onana. Yes, he is a good goalkeeper. But somehow when he moved to Man Utd we could see that Onana seemed to have lost his ability as a good goalkeeper. The mentality of a world-class goalkeeper like Onana should be that he can maintain his performance wherever he is.

Onana is a good goalkeeper and I don't deny this fact because I will fail to do this. It's true to say Onana got more attention from big clubs after he had an amazing adventure with Inter Milan in the last season, went to a final match and lost minimally against Manchester City with a striker from Rodri. However, we must consider another fact that one excellent season is not enough to make Onana as a world class goalkeeper. He must prove more and after a transfer to Manchester United and Premier League, we already are able to assess his quality better.

Well maybe you're right. However, Onana has even competed on bigger stages, such as when he defended his national team, namely Cameroon, in the World Cup. But it seems that his experience at big clubs does not show that he is a good world-class goalkeeper. But I'm sure that when Man United's defense is improved and Onana adapts well to Man Utd then maybe he will return to his best performance.

But I read on wikipedia about Onana being sent home from the world cup tournament after playing Serbia. He was sent home because he was considered a disciplinary problem. So I question Onana's own character after seeing this.

No doubts onana has some good history in his former teams where he has played and that has dragged so much attention to him which earned him the move to Manchester united, he had an excellent season last season as he was able to make it to the UCL finals but then it's important to know that maintaining a status is what makes you really outstanding enough.

If he should be seen as a world class keeper he should be able to defend the status by maintaining good track record consistently regardless of where he finds himself, de gea is a world class keeper and has maintained it everywhere he has been even in his current team his is doing so well maintaining cleans sheets, but onana ever since he left his former team he has found it really difficult adapting even if the defense he is working with is poor he should have some performance enough that we would see clearly that it's solely a defense issues but here we can see how is part of the problem aswell, I think judging him by one excellent season was the worst mistake of Erik ten hag.

[Mr.right85]

Manchester United have only Onana and Altay as the goalkeepers they could make use of. They really don't have any chance other than trying both of them and giving more chances to the one who performs better. Therefore I hope to see Altay being given some chances as well. I mean Onana is still playing the same.

While he is performing poorly I don't think it is logical to be stubborn about continuing to use him in every game. Altay has been a promising goalkeeper so far as well. In this situation I believe he deserves a chance. Let's say he played worse than Onana can take the shirt back from him.

Yes they should do that, should give their second goalkeeper more chances after Onana's poor form so far. Now the options are not many for them and they must have a firm stance on this. Erik Ten Hag has to do something to turn them around, because I haven't seen anything special from Manchester United so far.
The fact that they let David de Gea leave leaves them with little choice. But it's not good to regret everything, because what they should be thinking about is how they can get up, not necessarily quickly, but slowly but surely.

I am afraid Ten Hag can't drop Onana because the back-up keeper, Altay Bayindir, is completely  unknown. He’s not been tested enough to want to put him in goal without his shaky defense of Manchester United. He needs to grow more confidence and wait for his time. Also I don’t think this is the time where you’ll want to switch goalkeepers because the pressure on the team is high at the moment and it requires experience to bring this struggling Manchester United out of the mud. They need to show why they’re Manchester United.
Also let’s shift the attention from the Onana to the porous and disjointed defense line for once. Manchester United defense is so terrible at the moment, no defensive security from the midfield and it would make a Goalkeeper look like a flop in every situation. Ten Hag needs to do more before they start calling for his head.

Onana should have been the solution after Manchester United management kicked out David De Gea, the fact that is currently happening is that Onana doesn't seem to have finished his adaptation period in The Red Devils squad. The series of injuries suffered by most of United defensive players increased the number of goals conceded by Onana, in the end his move from Inter Milan did not seem like the right solution. Even though Onana is neither bad nor very good, he is the player who gets the most criticism, if United performance does not experience a steady improvement in the future, it will be difficult for Onana to avoid criticism from fans.

On the other hand, Ten Hag will still trust Onana as the main goalkeeper, both in the English Premier League and the European Champions League. In the midst of the ups and downs in United performance, it would be too risky for Ten Hag to play Altay as a starter.

Just like many others, I was one of the people who thought Andre Onana will improve the performance of Manchester United this season after he was signed to the club in the summer transfer window from Inter Milan.
Unfortunately, Onana has been the shadow of the goalkeeper we saw last season at Inter Milan as he's already committed so many goalkeeping errors that's resulted to loss of games and points for Manchester United. Some are of the opinion that his bad goalkeeping is as a result of United's poor defense line but whatever should be the reason, I think the Cameroon international should've done better

I mean Onana is still playing the same.

Ten hag needs to give altay a chance to play as a goal keeper for upcoming game and he shall also try to put meguire in along with tominay. Let's see whether ten hag will be changing the previous formation or try to keep it for upcoming match.
We are still more than 1 week away from continuation of EPL due to the international break. I would like to see ten hag will be coming with new formation. Meguire was showing if he was still useful for the club as long as ten hag gave him chance.
MU would not be winning the game if ten hag was not giving meguire chance to play against brentford. It's unacceptable thing to miss full points.
Chelsea is now below manchester united and it can pass united anytime. MU needs to bring back its good momentum again.

While he is performing poorly I don't think it is logical to be stubborn about continuing to use him in every game. Altay has been a promising goalkeeper so far as well. In this situation I believe he deserves a chance. Let's say he played worse than Onana can take the shirt back from him.

Altay deserves more chance to play as the main goal keeper for the club. He needs to get regular time to play in developing himself to be a better goal keeper. Ten hag needs to trust him right now.
Im sure he can play even better than overrated onana as a goal keeper.

Manchester United team is 10th in the points table. The team is not performing very well. It is important for Manchester United to stay inside the 5th place in the points table so that the team can create a chance to achieve something good.

It really looks unrealistic to see Manchester United to stay at 5th position when they currently only have mediocre players and it's still long to go the transfer window will reopen. Manchester United just need to make sure they will not follow Chelsea's path, I think they're still on a way to become Chelsea 2.0 where they lose against mediocre clubs.

Their next match against Sheffield United, will they lose again?

I am not sure what is wrong with them but they need someone to step up. Last season it was Rashford but this season everyone is off the mark. It's the same team like last season but it seems to be that they have lost their confidence and that is why they are beginning to lose their form. Ten Haag again has lot to do like when he joined the team and brought down the changes.

Blades doesn't seems like a tough opponent but the form United are in right now makes it doubtful for United also. However United are definitely the favourites.

We can't rule out Rodri effect from Arsenal and Manchester City, but he is still suffering from the red card he had in their round 6 match they played with Nottingham Forest and sadly, he will not be available in their next match in the round 9 against Brighton, but maybe Manchester will be able to turn around things and still maintain their normal winning streak. If Rodri were to be around, Martineli will not get that assistance from Havertz because he will be there.

De Bruyne absence can't be rule out as well, if the guy was available, Manchester City will not go home without a goal, Arsenal will concede in any form. Haaland was on the match but I didn't see him, he couldn't just process chances despite Alvarez and Foden efforts in that match.

Manchester City's squad was indeed incomplete when they lost to Arsenal, but should that be the main reason why Manchester City lost and failed to score? I don't agree if the absence of Rodri and De Bruyne is the only cause of Manchester City's defeat, in fact they still have many other quality players such as Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovačić, and many others in the main line-up.

Manchester City's main problem in that match was that they failed to create many chances compared to Arsenal. The match statistics are almost the same, but Arsenal has more chances to score than Manchester City.

Having an incomplete squad is not an excuse for losing against Arsenal cause City is a team that got good substitutions that could make the starting 11 of some EPL teams moreover Arsenal were also without there star player Saka and didn't even start Martinelli who helped them secure the victory, if they had done better with their performance like they did in the first 1st and even try to create better chances for their star player Haaland I believe they would had been leading in the 1st half.
 
 If you compare both teams you'll notice that City got more quality players that played the game than Arsenal, if only Pep Guardiola didn't sale Cole Palmer to Chelsea maybe he would had helped to create chance and help them get a draw or even win the game, however there still hope for them to defend their title cause the gap between them and Tottenham is not very wide.

Ten Hag is the leader here same as he was last season but there are things needed to be done for United to get back in the right sense.
The coach has been slow to get that missing formula  for Man United.
They are also been affected by injuries and injured players have a long time to recover.  The plans of the coach failed due to some of all these
They will get a win to Sheffield United. Even in the dark eyes binded United will teach them foootball.

I think Man United has good squad depth in all areas at the moment, this is clearly visible from their transfer movements last summer. But overall United have not had better luck, so they are almost consistent with uncertainty in every game. Ten Hag should be able to bring United into the UCL zone if you look at the value of player transfers, but various problems have not yet been resolved within The Red Devils, perhaps that is why their performance is not completely stable.

I think in terms of inconsistency United and Chelsea are almost the same, even though currently United is one level better than Pochettino squad. The next match against Sheffield United will take place after the international break, I think United will get full points, this will also mark a moment of revival in their performance. Meanwhile, Chelsea will face Arsenal and it is very likely that the Blues will again fail to get points, even though they are acting as hosts.

I have no confidence in Ten Hag. Manchester United have won just two of their last seven matches. They won against Burnley and Brentford. And lost in the remaining 5 matches. The team lost against Munich and Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Had Ten Hag been an experienced coach, United's performance would not have been so bad. I know several players in United's squad are out with injuries. If Ten Hag was an experienced coach, the team would not have lost 5 out of 7 matches. They would have been able to draw a few matches. Sheffield United is not a strong team. However, I don't think Manchester United can get 3 points in this match.

Manchester United problem is general and everyone knows their weaknesses in league games. Poor defendlines and inaccurate passes from midfielders to frontlines are whole lot for the manager to handle alone, he would share blames because not all the challenges they faced is his fault. Erik Ten Hag on the verge of losing his position as headcoach because there's alot to handle in Old Trafford, the game strategy he proposed for the Red Devils is not working, but he would keep pushing to get an excellent results.
Manchester United have struggled to win matches this season, I'm just hoping for a rebounded shape for them in due time.

I think there was a strategy and planning error made by Pep Guardiola in that match, I mean Pep Guardiola kept Jack Grealish and preferred Foden to play as a left winger. If Grealish plays, then I think Pep Guardiola could put Foden in midfield, but that never happens. Pep Guadiola gave full confidence to Rico Lewis to play from the first half, but he was replaced in the second half.

Tactical errors are what I thought about Manchester City's defeat to Arsenal, but that's just my observation of the game. But I don't know, Pep Guardiola certainly knows better what to do for his team than those of us who watch the game from afar.

[JeffBrad12]

The mistake at MU has shifted from midfielder Harry Maguire to goalkeeper Andre Onana this season.

You have a point because one of the major issues with Manchester United is there midfielder and goalkeeper, although in times Manchester United goal goalkeeper, De Gea was just the goalkeeper that really understand the actual pattern of Manchester United I don't no why they decided to sold him when there problem was not from the goalkeeper but I believe they now understand how important De Gea was to the club.

Casemiro has been performing more than enough for manchester united and i can't agree if you say that if the main problem was on the midfielder and defenders. I think that we shall put focus into the defenders rather than goalkeeper.
Manchester united needs to put its focus into the defenders instead of midfielders. So many times manchester united conceded so many goals due to the inconsistentcy from the defenders.
I think that manchester united needs to identify the major problem first.

and even there current goalkeeper Onana is not helping Manchester United at all, but considering his performance on AC Milan I was even thinking his performance on Manchester United will be same as when he was at AC Milan but it was quite the opposite, but however if Manchester United should work on there midfielder there could be more chances of getting back to there former performance.

I think that you are wrong here. Onana would be able to perform better if manchester united defenders were also able doing the same. It will be a disaster for the club if the defenders are still playing so badly.
Manchester united will be facing very hard fixtures and MU needs to prepare itself.

[Strongkored]

if only Pep Guardiola didn't sale Cole Palmer to Chelsea maybe he would had helped to create chance and help them get a draw or even win the game.

This is not a completely correct conclusion, because without Cole Palmer Manchester City is still a strong team but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten and it is proven that Arsenal can only win with a very narrow score meaning this is a very even match but one chance is enough to make Arsenal win, and the goal is scored in the final minutes of the match so that a team no matter how strong will face difficulty in scoring a goal to get a draw with very little time remaining.
I am quite sure that Manchester City has accepted this defeat and will recover in the next match because they are one of the teams that recover quickly enough, and the two consecutive defeats that City in an English Premier League match will not immediately turn them into a weak team, and actually their next opponents have to be quite careful because Pep Guardiola will probably change the strategy that will make City even stronger and more productive.

Ten Hag needs to do more before they start calling for his head.

Another interesting fact is that when Maguire is in the starting lineup, the team's performance improves compared to when he is not. The chemistry in Manchester United's defense has truly been a highlight, and Onana has become yet another victim of the team's poor defensive displays.

Ironically, last season, Harry Maguire was often the target of fans' criticism, blamed as the scapegoat for Manchester United's defeats. Maguire's blunders were turned into memes and public discussions. However, when analyzed statistically, it turns out that Maguire can lead Manchester United's defense better.

The latest news is that Ten Hag wants to shop for a new defender. I can't help but have doubts about the decision Ten Hag is making this time. Why not rely on Maguire once again and give other players a chance to play, rather than seeking a new defender?

Manchester City's squad was indeed incomplete when they lost to Arsenal, but should that be the main reason why Manchester City lost and failed to score? I don't agree if the absence of Rodri and De Bruyne is the only cause of Manchester City's defeat, in fact they still have many other quality players such as Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovačić, and many others in the main line-up.

Manchester City's main problem in that match was that they failed to create many chances compared to Arsenal. The match statistics are almost the same, but Arsenal has more chances to score than Manchester City.

I can say that not having a full team is an excuse. Just noticing it since Rodri and De Bruyne are absent they lost some matches the problem is not even De Bruyne if Rodri is on the match against Arsenal I can say he will be very hard for them to defeat Manchester City, when they give Rodri red card all the three matches they play they lose it, they are defeated against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and wolves and Arsenal in the Premier League so I can say is and excuse for losing against Arsenal, I am confident that Manchester City will overcome them in the second leg since their squad is in terrific health, De Bruyne is injured, and Haaland is not doing well because most of his goals last season were assisted by De Bruyne.

Arsenal is performing well this season, but if they are compared to Manchester City, Arsenal has not defeated them in 5 years. They had luck last week because Manchester City was not fully prepared for the match. If Arsenal can defeat Manchester City in the second leg, I will believe that Arsenal is stronger than ever before, let see if they will try and win the league trophy this season, and Liverpool are coming up they are performing well this season.

In other words, Rodri's absence for three matches caused Man City to suffer defeat, plus De Bruyne injury completed the factors that caused Pep Guardiola squad to lose points. I think defeat is an inseparable part, if you lose key players then the club will experience a decline in performance. In line with this, this is Chelsea and Man United are currently feeling, they have lost many key players due to injury, so they do not have full strength to carry out their campaign this season.

The EPL match will enter its ninth week, and there are still many big matches left in the future. Even though Arsenal is considered tougher compared to last season, Tottenham and Liverpool are also considered strong enough to challenge for the championship. Looking at their habits, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool often lose points in important matches, in contrast to Man City.

Well I said that with reasons that Arsenal had a better game plan than them and also performed very well if you saw the build up of Arsenal players before the goal came in you'll noticed their players were  well positioned waiting and ready to create better chances of getting the ball into the net, they didn't allow Mancity players to pressure them much they fought back and created good chances, well City also created good chances in the 1st half and if they had worked harder on the pitch I believe they would had won cause they squad that Pep picked matched Arsenal's squad even without Rodri and Debruyne.

 However this is the 2nd time Arsenal is winning them this season in a different competition, remember they won City with their complete squad that includes Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi so that's no excuse cause Arsenal played without Bukoya Saka.
