Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[hahay]

A team that play well wouldn't definitely receive 3 goals. Manchester United is in decline phase? I don't think so but they have to improve the quality of their gameplay. Their opponent was better than them and they might be in pressure since their results aren't quite good for their fans.
This game wasn't the only one that end with 3 goals victory. Liverpool and Aston Villa did good also but their games were easier. A gap is being created slowly between the first five teams and the others and between the last four teams and the rest.

There game was bad considering that they were the host, it's an advantage because when teams host a match, they do anything to stop concedes of goals, not only that Guardiola was saying he is scared of them or maybe man was doing mind games as usual but even with that, it should have given them more aura to equalized Manchester City. The London Derby has lost its credibility, not like those days again.

Right now, Manchester United are now in the state of equilibrium as they have lost 5 good matches here and also loss 5, they didn't draw any so far in this 10 weeks and we can that their performance has been average. If Ten Hag is a man of wisdom, this is the right time to work hard and bring the same pressure they used to win back the heart of the fans in the group stage of the Champions League to the Premier League. Any decline from here makes their chances even slimmer on getting to top 4, I'm not sure if they are going to make it to Europa because this is nothing to write home about.

In fact, from last season also that Manchester United always lost by Manchester City. Despite the fact, at least last season Manchester United were still in good form compared to this season, but the fact is Manchester United still can't stop Manchester City last season too. Also, at least Manchester United are still in 8th place in the Premier League table right now and with that, then I think Manchester United still have a chance to be in a better position over time. So ya, because Manchester City clearly has better quality then maybe, Manchester United defeat is a natural result. But indeed, what was a bad defeat for Manchester United was that Manchester United were unable to score at home and lost with a big score of 0-3.

The defeat suffered by Man United is the responsibility of everyone. What's clear is that their game was very bad and Man United could not improve their rhythm. The strategy and composition of players chosen by Ten Hag do not seem to be successful in facing Man City and I think their game actually looks chaotic. So it's not surprising that Man City can win easily against Man United.

As week goes by Manchester United’s performance seems to be depreciating and it now looks as if they don’t have a coach or the coach is not even having any impact on the team. Manchester United coach and the entire fan treated Ronaldo badly despite giving everything for them in his second spell at the club, he was disrespected and it could be the cause of their poor performance.

Everything was totally wrong in the match, Manchester United lack marking discipline they play as if they are being forced to play, no tactical play of any sort, no game play pattern, everyone just running up and down the field the way they like. It’s so terrible for them, the coach need to be seriously questioned else they will keep going in that direction because he has spent enough time in the team for his impact to start showing.

Manchester City humiliated them at their own grounds without any fight back it is so disappointing.

So it's not surprising that Man City can win easily against Man United.

Manchester United have weak mentality even they have good players. If they can not improve mentality of players, they will have more issues in real match. Marcus Rashford is an example, his performances and confidence between the last season and this one is very different. In this season, he lost his confidence and even felt fearful when he was given chances to shot.

It is different than past season when Marcus Rashford scored 17 goals in Premier League and 30 goals totally for Manchester United. In this season, he only scored one goal so far and many situations, we saw he did not shoot but pass the ball to his team mates and wasted great opportunities.

M.Rashford actually played with a lack of confidence at the start of the season last season. But then he became more confident since the middle of the season after C. Ronaldo left Man United. But when Rashford played with the England national team he looked more confident. But the difference in performance between Rashford this season and last season is very different. I think Ten Heg should make the players less burdened. Because I saw the Man United players playing as if they were carrying a heavy burden. And they don't seem to want to be blamed so they become insecure.

But next week Man United should be able to collect 3 points. Because the opponent they will face is Fullham who are also not playing as well this season same as last season.

Next week there will be another very exciting match, namely Tottenham vs Chelsea and Arsenal vs Newcastle. It looks like Tottenham and Arsenal will be the favorites in this match. Because I see Newcastle has experienced a decline recently. In fact, they were held to a draw by Wolves.

[topbitcoin]

Furthermore, they are like a club that has learned firsthand to face opponents that are several times stronger.
There is nothing to see from what they tried to play in yesterday's match and even funnily enough, Maguire, who is often a mockery at Manchester United, was the most stable in this match.
They want to try to keep up with what Manchester City are doing but they can't do that because the difference in their strength is quite large.

Another interesting thing in this match, Antony returned to play but he immediately acted up on the pitch lol.
Next week they play against Newcastle, I hope they are better than this week.

Although with all their strength Manchester United want to match the game from Manchester City, but we can see the difference in strength between these two clubs. Manchester United we know they are not doing well, on the other hand Manchester City are much better prepared in this match. Indeed, in the last few matches Manchester City also faced some problems, but when compared to what Manchester United experienced, of course they were better from any point of view.
The final score shows that there is a gap in strength between these two clubs, Manchester United is in a slump.

This is what I say by imbalance because by looking at the performance given by these two club it actually does not look like a Derby because Manchester United still cannot be comparable in any way.
On the contrary,  Manchester City always performs very well and in this match it also seems to tell that  the EPL will most likelly still be dominated by Manchester City because regardless of anything at this time they are still unstoppable.
Haaland regained his momentum back when there was Bernardo Silva whose position was slightly different now that Rodri had returned from punishment. In addition, losing Akanji for the next few matches due to his punishment also does not have a b ig effect on Manchester City for now they will still return to the form they should see.

That is the problem of the manager/coach,if he does not know how to motivate good players like Rashford when a player like Rashford is in such situation then what is he doing coaching Manchester United in the first place?

MU needs to get rid of him. Signing a new coach didn't always mean bad for the club. So many times various clubs have been proving it and recently, leverkusen proven that if signing a new coach was sometimes become the main answer to fix the problem faced by the club.
The management needs to prepare some names to be lined up as ten hag's replacement at the middle of season. Im seeing manchester united as bad as chelsea at this moment. These teams are degrading into the mediocrea club unlike a few years ago.
Many united fans are also feeling so disappointed with the performance from its club. MU was losing two goals but the club has no intention in attacking city. How could club equalize the goals if nothing happen with MU?

Football is not only played on field now in modern days,the players need a lot of psychological motivation during the week for the game of the weekend to give their maximum performance,if you boost a player mentality he will definitely not be scared to shoot and score but I think unfortunately for Manchester United if they don't fire Ten Haag things will not change for the better.

I saw that united players are so scary in shooting the ball. I don't even know what's wrong with whole of players in manchester united but it's so pathetic to see that manchester united lose without even made a single goal.
This is not the same united like what i have seen a few years ago. MU never got its prime time again after sir alex has retired.

[Raflesia]

Manchester United's problem still looks the same actually, it's just that when a few previous matches when United won it was because the quality of the club they were fighting was below them so that when they met a commensurate opponent even much stronger like this match against Manchester City they were very overwhelmed by it.
Their attacking line is still very incohesive even when talking about goal productivity for Manchester United strikers is still very minimal because if you look at some of the matches that have been played by Manchester United so far, the last time their strikers scored was when they lost to Arsenal 6 weeks ago after that their strikers were very bad and difficult to get goals. Even if they win, the goals scored come from midfielders and even defenders. This is still very bad for Manchester United so they need to make serious changes if they still want to be one of the leading clubs.

I think Manchester United's problems started during the last summer. In fact, they got Eric Ten Hag and he is a good coach but the weakness of Manchester United is they didn't buy good players during the summer and this team didn't improve at all but they had poor performance. I think Ten Hag is still a good coach and he had a good performance at Manchester United but he couldn't hire the players he wanted to hire and made bad decisions. One example is hiring Onana while they had De Gea in this team.

He is a good coach, I will agree that if he can control the level of egoism that is not too big then I will expect more and definitely defend Ten Hag in this regard, but indeed in the last 2 seasons Ten Hag is also not free from mistakes where when he is still very selfish still feels that he is a coach who must be followed even when there are players who are uncomfortable with it, instead of being discussed properly, players who are not in accordance with what he wants are considered as dissidents and locked up on disciplinary grounds. This always happens for Ten Hag so he must try to minimize things like this so that the same mistakes do not occur.
In addition, the Glazer Family is a little stingy in spending the number of players but when looking at purchases on the grounds of lack of money I think this is also not suitable for the current conditions because we know to bring Mount, Onana and Hojlund this season they can even spend close to 200 million so the reason for the lack of money for the transfer of players is too exaggerated because Manchester United's budget in last season's spending on player transfers is very large in fact.

[Leviathan.007]

Congratulations Chelsea for the another lose, this has been expected by many people because Chelsea is a weak club. Today we will see an another overrated weak club like Chelsea aka Manchester United will lose too against Manchester City.

What I want to highlight is Nketiah because he can score 3 goals when he was under perform for the last 11 matches. All the goals aren't only just tap-in, the first and third goals are pure of his skill and positions.

Chelsea's performance is still not good and they were disappointing in this season so far even after all the money they spent during the summer for the players and coaches they hired for their team.
The next game for Chelsea in the Premier League is going to be against Tottenham which scary match for Mauricio Pochettino and his players because Tottenham is not a team to lose games easily and rates for Tottenham is not low at all.

What a difficult situation Chelsea have at the moment, and for the next few matches in the Premier League too of course. Because anyway, after Chelsea lost at home in yesterday match against Brentford with a score of 0-2, in fact Chelsea next matches will play against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United. Although for example Chelsea failed to win but indeed, Chelsea will not fall into the relegation zone. But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

In Ten Hag's hands, Man United changed drastically, he made so many sins or mistakes that United were humiliated again at Old Trafford. Sharp criticism from fans is inevitable and I consider it normal, what happens next if the squad that was built at a large cost cannot reach the expected level, not even close. Ten Hag took full responsibility for the defeat to Man City, there was no other excuse that could be accepted after the 3-0 defeat except by winning the next match.

Roy Kane and Rio Ferdinand heavily criticized Bruno for appearing sluggish and moaning a lot. The Portuguese playmaker was not worthy of being a team captain and could not lead his team-mates when under pressure, according to club legends. The usual "banter" received by Onana-Maguire has now turned to Bruno-Rashford who is performing far from his level. Overall, United must recognize the greatness of their city rivals and I think Ten Hag and his squad must take a lesson from them.

I'm not too worried about those upcoming games you just mentioned and Chelsea might even end up winning some of those tough-looking fixtures. It's no longer surprising that Chelsea is most likely going to lose to a smaller team than lose to a top team. They've played Liverpool and Arsenal already and even though both games ended in a draw, they completely dominated Arsenal in that game and nearly won if not for their mistakes (2-0 down to 2-2).

Let's keep our fingers crossed to see how those fixtures turn out. Chelsea have the squad quality to deliver nothing but excellent results yet are unable to do so.

Any team can happen to lose a game at home while overall for me the results,the recent results of Chelsea are encouraging as in these last season plus this actual one they are some of the best results Chelsea had after a very long time.

It is a sure thing that they will face difficult opponents in the coming games but let's remember the game against Arsenal which they should have won comfortably if it were not for their goalkeeper error and based on such activity I think they will have chances to create some surprise results in these games.

It is very difficult for Rasmus Hojlund to develop in a team that is in decline like Manchester United, the Manchester United team's game is not very supportive in all lines so it is very difficult for the attackers to be able to develop or show quality because of the lack of ball supply from the midfield.

How can you say that Manchester United played well? Isn't it clear that Manchester United's game was very messy without any good schemes, they only had a few chances at the start of the first half and the rest they couldn't develop the team's game at all.
Manchester United was clearly behind on all fronts and even the match between these two teams seemed like the two teams had significant differences so Manchester United had to concede 3 goals.

Hojlund needs an adaptation process to truly adapt to Man United's game. In this case, I think this is normal because not all new players who are brought in are immediately suitable. For example, when Darwin Nunez was brought to Anfield, many criticized him because he was deemed not to suit Jurgen Klopp's playing style. But as time goes by, the process will provide answers. So this applies to Hojlund where he has to be a little patient, of course the process he is going through will attract criticism from fans. It depends on how Hojlund takes it with accomplishment or surrender. Being at a big club like Man United is not an easy thing, as a club with the biggest fans this risk will always follow the Man United striker.

The defeat against Man City was a lesson and Man United players must be motivated to rise from adversity. There is still quite a long way to go and I am sure that one day Man United will return to its ideal point as a stable club.

When Liverpool bought Darwin Núñez from Benfica in 2022, they were expecting to see an amazing performance from this player and Darwin Núñez disappointed everyone with the poor performance he had in Liverpool and that's why the fans were unhappy and they were even asked the team to sell this player and now in the recent game Liverpool they had against Nottingham Forest he scored a goal and had a good performance to decrease the pressure in himself.

But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

Well, it's indeed a very difficult situation for Chelsea honestly, for I also do not see any chance of possibility that Chelsea will beat any of those teams or clubs you mentioned, is it Tottenham, or Manchester city, or Newcastle, or Brighton? Infact, the only team or club that I think Chelsea might have a chance of winning or holding to a draw is Manchester united, but this is if they prepare very well and play their best game.

Anyways, this is something I have expected from right from the beginning of this season, we all know that Chelsea started off this season by first playing against clubs that seem smaller and easy to beat, and this is why they are even up where they are currently. Their coming games will reveal their real position in the epl table.

But clearly, if in that matches Chelsea failed to win, then Chelsea position in the Premier League standings would be closer to the relegation zone.

In my opinion after seeing them lose at home from Brentford yesterday, It is indeed difficult for Chelsea to get full points when looking at their next opponent. Against Tottenham and Man City, we can already guess from now on that it is very likely that Pochettino squad will lose points again. Against Newcastle and Brighton, maybe the Blues can target a draw, next against Man United I think Ten Hag squad is still a little better than Chelsea. Overall I agree with you that this is the most difficult period Pochettino has faced, and I think they are on the brink of decline.

Regarding the degradation zone, I am still optimistic that they will not enter it, because however the club officials will take a firm stance before that actually happens, I mean Pochettino will be fired if the club is heading towards degradation. On the other hand, with their absence from European competitions, they should be able to perform better because they only focus on domestic competitions, but it seems that this cannot be realized in the near future.

[Majestic-milf]

 The Manchester derby is really not that fun to watch from my own point of view, because from the way things are going especially for the United side, they're not match for the Citizens at all, they can't even make it hard for Man City to get a goal. Manchester United lack so much in that team that even the coach Erik ten Hag can't find a way to figure out how to solve the problem.
 If Man UTD continue like this I feel the Manchester derby won't be that fun and exciting to watch rather it would be the North London derby (Arsenal vs Tottenham) that would be one of the biggest in the EPL, because to me Pep have conquered that bragging right, the Citizens owns Manchester.

Chelsea was lucky enough to see a draw when they played Arsenal. I wont surprise that they might get a win from Manchester United. The performance of Manchester is more terrible than that of Chelsea. With the performance I saws yesterday from Man U, definitely Chelsea will win them. But the November games will be very heartbreaking when the result will come out. Man City will surely win Chelsea, Newcastle will win, Brighton will definitely win Chelsea.

After all these games have been played we might see Chelsea down at almost 15 or 16th position in the EPL table. Am not surprised that Man United might even win Chelsea. The both teams this season are facing challenges the hope of Champions League next season should be out from their  mind.

Chelsea's performance was very inconsistent. In the 3 matches before they played Brentford, Chelsea had quite good results and their performance seemed to have improved. So it was quite surprising to see them lose against Brentford, especially when they were playing at home. Chelsea actually had several good opportunities that could have turned into goals, but unfortunately, their finishing touch was not good.

What makes you feel that Chelsea will beat Man United, is it because Man United are not in a good form, but you should also know that Man United is performing better than Chelsea this season, no matter the poor result and performance that Man United is having this season. However, I might still say that you are right because the two clubs are birds of the same feather this season. Surely, Chelsea has several difficult matches back to back, that they might not win any of them. Chelsea is fading off gradually and if something is not done to revive the club with might not have confidence in Chelsea anymore and they might be like other small clubs in EPL.

The strategy and composition of players chosen by Ten Hag do not seem to be successful in facing Man City and I think their game actually looks chaotic. So it's not surprising that Man City can win easily against Man United.

Manchester United have weak mentality even they have good players. If they can not improve mentality of players, they will have more issues in real match.

I agree with you. In fact, whenever a team loses some games and they are under pressure, they can't have a good performance even if they have all the tools for it. However Manchester United didn't have the good players to beat Manchester City in this weak but as you said they are mentally weak and even if they get the good players and coaches still Manchester United need more time to get back in the good form and this won't happen soon in this season as I can see from them.

[Bananington]

What makes you feel that Chelsea will beat Man United, is it because Man United are not in a good form, but you should also know that Man United is performing better than Chelsea this season, no matter the poor result and performance that Man United is having this season.

Chelsea can play well, and sides their goalkeeper who may occasionally make mistakes, and the goal scorers who miss more goals than they score, they should be able to defeat Manchester United. Onana has improved for Manchester United, Including Harry Maguire, the major problem that Manchester United have right now is their midfield that they have not been able to fix even after bringing Amrabat. Chelsea are not very good with comebacks after conceding goals and if both teams play and Manchester United score first then it would be a difficult one for Chelsea. If Chelsea score first, they wills till not be save because they are not still very good with stopping teams from scoring.
