Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

~~ Snip ~~

Manchester united would bounce back but if might not happen very soon cause their squad is not very complete and Erik Ten Hag needs to manage the players he's got until his clubs remain balanced again, Manchester United could have had a better season if not for the injury crisis they're currently facing and I doubt If Manchester united would be able to finish 3rd place like they did the previous season.

 Erik Ten Hag is very lucky that the board and club owners still believe in him and don't got any plans to sack him but however he's got to do something to help the team get better so that they don't drop very drastically on the standings, Erik Ten Hag had a very good tactics at Ajax that got the attention of United board which made them to sign him but recently he's now bringing another pattern that's not helping the club,  they're not even playing good football that would help them gain support of the fans.

I also believe that Man United will be able to recover in their future matches, but on the other hand it would be very risky if we bet on the matches they play because of United's uncertain performance. I think the main thing that makes Ten Hag squad performance decline is the injury factor, which doesn't give him many choices to determine the starting XI, then several internal cases such as Sancho which are still not resolved. Club officials seem to be very annoyed with the achievements of the Red Devils squad so far, perhaps in the next few matches if the Dutch coach achieves negative results then it is very likely that he will be replaced.

On the fans side, I think that Ten Hag no longer gets respect, because he is already considered to have failed in managing strategy and failed manage players. Maybe it wouldn't be wrong to say that he failed to lead the dressing room, so that his squad continuously experienced ups and downs in performance.

Until Ten Hag is ready to improve his managerial skills, the club will hardly win top challenging matches. Every other club has taken up the challenge to work hard and improve themselves over time, I don't see enough efforts from Ten Hag yet. Newcastle is in good shape like you mentioned above so they will put a whole lot of efforts to win this match. The last match both clubs played, Newcastle boys scored over the Manchester united. Yesterday's Manchester derby was not in isolation. Manchester United can do better when they wish to.

Manchester Derby, City were victorious in Old Trafford. An embarrassed defeats for the Red Devils, but they will recover with time. Erik Ten Hag should improve his managerial skills because that's the main attributes he lacks, secondly he should try create good chemistry towards his players. A manager like Erik Ten Hag can not prove true leadership with him having issues and falling out with his players, that's not a perfect illustration of a leader, he should tolerate most of the misbehavior of his players, because I'm quite aware about the recalcitrant behaviors of these players on training ground.

Ten Hag must immediately resolve his problems with the players on the team. or he must also be able to solve problems that occur in the team. It will be even more difficult for MU if Ten Hag doesn't improve their game. This is the 5th defeat, which is very tough for MU from 10 matches this season. There was a very big difference between MU and Man City in that match. MU must find the problem and solve it as quickly as possible. otherwise in the upcoming Manchester derby meeting, there will be nothing interesting anymore. Man City unfortunately dominates.

Truth is this won’t continue. It’s only a matter of time. We should forget all these politically correct talks. Arteta made his choice and I respect his decision. Arteta has chosen Raya and I can live with it. It’s his choice. Raya appeared very confident, decisive, less error prone and controlled his box better than Ramsdale. Raya is great, has shown that he too can fumble with a number of errors already. And any period of prolonged slip ups from him, Ramsdale may just get the nod again. Honestly, I'm not even for any of the GKs, I'm cool with whoever emerges but I can confidently predict that Arteta had enough of the Ramsdale before opting for Raya. I just pray that his decision augurs well for the club & the fans.

And again we might not know is the basis which Ramsdale was dropped. I was expecting a normal goalkeeping rotations, one for UCL and Domestic cup games, one for the league. But we have seen that Arteta doesn’t want it. I am good with both. But I think Ramsdale  needs his own run of games really.

Honestly it's his decision to make and he is the one that will get the punishment if he is wrong, so he won't make decision based on anything but what would be best for himself. Do you think that Arteta would prefer a worse goalkeeper even spite of being fired?

I mean that's what would happen if he loses too much, Arsenal needs to keep doing well enough for him to keep his job, if he does terribly then he is going to end up getting fired and that means we are talking about a situation that would be not ideal for him. If he thinks Ramsdale is better, then Ramsdale is better, and if Raya is better than Raya is better, if he picks the wrong one and he loses because of that, consequences would be based on him as well.

Manchester United is not far from Chelsea in time of performance this season, both clubs are really struggling to win a match perfectly. With the way Machester United is playing if they continue like that, I believe they we not make it to play in the European league next season. I see clubs like Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Brighton taking that position. Erik Ten Tag should know that this is Manchester United, not Ajax, he should forget about signing the players he has worked with before and sign players who are willing to fight for the club.

It is true that both Chelsea and Man United are experiencing the same thing now. I'm not surprised to see how Chelsea performed badly, but I'm a bit surprised to see Man United current performance. I think Ten Hag has a possibility to improve Man United performance, but I doubt Chelsea performance can significantly change. That's why I think Man United still has a chance to return to the Europa League zone, meanwhile it seems unlikely to happen for Chelsea. Ideally, Man United squad is better than the squads of Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Brighton. So why Man United won't have a chance to play in Europa League? 

Manchester United cannot maintain their consistency at all. Manchester United had a poor start to the season but they managed to pick up some results in the middle of the season but once again they are heading towards a poor performance. The reason why Manchester United are not in a good position in the points table is that they have won five matches and drawn five matches out of the first ten matches their win and loss statistics are fifty-fifty. If Manchester United had won five matches and drawn three to four matches, we could see them in a good position in the points table, but they could not do that. Manchester United must improve their performance, as there is still enough time in hand, they must focus on performing well from now on.

Manchester United's squad is in shambles. This is why the team is not able to perform well. Looking at the results of United's matches, it is clear that the team's main weakness is in their attack. The team managed to score only 11 goals in 10 matches. If the forward players do not play well, if they do not score goals, how will the team win? And therefore, if the performance of the forward players does not improve, there is no possibility of improving the performance of Manchester United.

Ten Hag have Rasmus Hojlund in the center of their attack. Who could not score a single goal in 7 matches. Why a team as big as United would keep such an inexperienced player at the heart of their attack is beyond me. Martial, Rashford and Sancho are also more experienced than Hojlund. Ten Hag should bring changes in match strategy and formation.

I'm not surprised by the struggle of Manchester United this season because late last season Manchester United's weaknesses were exposed when Rashford was not informed to score goals, and Manchester United was finding it difficult to win matches. That same thing is happening to Rashford this season, he is finding it difficult to find the back of the net. Erik Teg Hag failed to sign the perfect forward who could have solved this goal problem for Manchester United. Harry Kane or Victor Oshimen could have been a perfect signing for Manchester United because these players have the spirit of hustling for goals even when their clubs are not performing well.

Ten Hag must immediately resolve his problems with the players on the team. or he must also be able to solve problems that occur in the team. It will be even more difficult for MU if Ten Hag doesn't improve their game. This is the 5th defeat, which is very tough for MU from 10 matches this season. There was a very big difference between MU and Man City in that match. MU must find the problem and solve it as quickly as possible. otherwise in the upcoming Manchester derby meeting, there will be nothing interesting anymore. Man City unfortunately dominates.

Ten hag doesn't in anyway looks border because it seems like his job isn't on the line and that is why he continually produces poor results without any improvement thereafter, the management of Manchester united seem to have gotten him involved in every affair of the team.

The fans are not happy about the current position of the team especially with the recent loses at home which have become too frequent, Ten hag is somehow lucky personally that's what I think because if it were to be some other teams, with this consistent failure they would have considered taking actions already, he did well last season but hasn't been impressive this season.

Yesterday's Manchester derby was not in isolation. Manchester United can do better when they wish to.

This match will certainly be intense because both teams do not want to continue the negative trend. If you look at this match, I will choose Man United to win this match because I think the squad depth they have is better than Newcastle. Apart from that, Man United also has its own advantage by playing in front of its own fans. Indeed, in the EPL they just lost to Derby but I think this match they want to take this moment to rise.

So for that reason I predict Man United will advance to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. They will eliminate Newcastle. I don't mean to underestimate Newcastle, but I don't know why I believe Man United will win, that's why my bet tonight is for Man United to win.

Currently, Newcastle are in better form than Manchester United, so therefore, I can’t say Manchester United will not win the match, but with the way Manchester United's form has currently improved, I think it will be hard for United to perform as well as them because Newcastle will surely do every possible thing to see what they can do to win the match because we can see how they are performing, and when compared to Manchester United's own, it is not a match, so they won’t try any careless move that will make United score. Although I won’t say they will surely win, with their current performance, there is a possibility for them to win the match.

[Richbased]

Yes indeed, at least I also still admit that Newcastle have a better form than Manchester United at this moment. But for some reason, at least I still think Manchester United also has an equally good chance in this match so yes, I can't underestimate Manchester United and can't just verdict a losing result for Manchester United in this match. Although indeed, in the previous match Manchester United also lost at home against Manchester City in the Premier League match. But with such bad results, it is possible that Manchester United will have great ambitions in this home match to avenge the previous defeat. Of course, Manchester United has the ambition to be able to win in this home match, although the opponent it faces is also a difficult team at this moment.

Football isn't about giving a losing team hope that they will bounce back when their strategies are still the same, Manchester united have not been in good form for sometime now and I don't even see them making any difference in this match. This is a league cup match so the competition is high as Newcastle will not give Manchester united any chance in this game because they too are very optimistic in this game and wouldn't want to relent at all, so I still believe that the odds will be in favor of Newcastle until Manchester united improves then will can confidently stake on them but for now let's just watch and see if they would make a difference

Manchester United's performance is getting worse but we have to know several reasons for example, too many injured players so there are obstacles in implementing strategy in each match, apart from that there are also problems with their new goalkeeper who still needs more adaptation so this situation is really difficult for Manchester United and cannot be compared with last season. I personally would support Ten Hag solving internal problems first only in that way he can bring Manchester United performance to a better level, talking about the last defeat it's normal because the opponent is Manchester City, it is clear that the squad strength is not balanced. We have to wait for the Manchester players to recover to see a more interesting match.

[Chilwell]

The Newcastle team is strong enough. And because of the good understanding between their players, Newcastle's overall performance is very stable. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 6 Premier League matches. Their performance is very good. On the other hand, it would not be wrong to call Manchester United team weak now. Despite having a strong squad, their performance has been very poor. And a Newcastle team with such a poor performance is much harder to beat at the moment. I'd say unless Manchester United are very lucky they can pick up a point in this match. However, I consider Newcastle as the favorite.

Until Ten Hag is ready to improve his managerial skills, the club will hardly win top challenging matches. Every other club has taken up the challenge to work hard and improve themselves over time, I don't see enough efforts from Ten Hag yet. Newcastle is in good shape like you mentioned above so they will put a whole lot of efforts to win this match. The last match both clubs played, Newcastle boys scored over the Manchester united. Yesterday's Manchester derby was not in isolation. Manchester United can do better when they wish to.

I consider Newcastle united as dangerous team with their performance this day, they are playing away match against Manchester United, you said Manchester United can do better if they wish but I thought what they are playing is the best to them, maybe that is why Ten Hag is not doing anything about it like not making any changes to improve with their recent matches played I don't expect much from them between them and Newcastle united, if am to award my winning I will give it to Newcastle united because their performance is incredible

[Roseline492]

United haven't been in form since a long time  so it's obvious that everyone will have low expectations in front of Newcastle who are a very good team right now. game.

That's true because is very obvious that Manchester has lost the good performance they were known for, however performing very poor since the season started and losing to smaller team they normally win without much stress.

However there match today against Newcastle United will be very hard on them because Newcastle United has been of a great performance this season they won Crystal Palace 4-0 while on the other hand Manchester United find it very difficult wining crystal Palace and at last they lost with 1-0 on the match, so considering all this, it is crystal clear that Manchester United will lose the match to night against Newcastle United because they are know match to them.

I guess this game in the League Cup is of minor importance to both Manchester United and Newcastle as they are probably not aiming at qualifying for the Europa League due to winning the League Cup. I have often seen that in this cup the teams allow players to get some practice when they usually don't play that frequently. Hence, I don't really think that this game is particularly informative as to how the teams will be doing in the coming weeks in the important competitions. A lot of games are to come and tonight there will probably be some players who get a break.

If you are confident about your statements, but why are you still just going to watch and or wait whether they make a difference or not . Because ya, if you believe in the statement you have, then you will continue to move forward with that statement, and you should no longer care about the differences that will occur . Because even though I don't underestimate Manchester United, but I also admit that Newcastle have better form atthis moment . Therefore, I think it is not a complete hope either for Manchester United because anyway, in football anything can happen and I not taking anyone's side . Even for the match between Manchester United and Newcastle, the proof is that I only bet on the option for both teams to score and did not choose the 1x2 option.

[Ruttoshi]

If I look at Man United's performance last season, honestly I really can't think that this season is much worse and certainly beyond everyone's expectations. Last season they managed to finish in third place in the standings with quite satisfying statistics, so of course the current conditions are very surprising where they should be much better but in fact they absolutely cannot meet expectations even a little. The match against Man City yesterday was really embarrassing, not only embarrassing the squad but also the fans who were there.

Obviously it lowers the confidence of the fans, consistency is a major problem for Man United this season in my opinion, I hope Ten Hag really has to do something about his squad, at least be able to prove a little better to restore the confidence of their fans and the prestige of the club. We'll see what Ten Hag does next there.

Manchester united would bounce back but if might not happen very soon cause their squad is not very complete and Erik Ten Hag needs to manage the players he's got until his clubs remain balanced again, Manchester United could have had a better season if not for the injury crisis they're currently facing and I doubt If Manchester united would be able to finish 3rd place like they did the previous season.

 Erik Ten Hag is very lucky that the board and club owners still believe in him and don't got any plans to sack him but however he's got to do something to help the team get better so that they don't drop very drastically on the standings, Erik Ten Hag had a very good tactics at Ajax that got the attention of United board which made them to sign him but recently he's now bringing another pattern that's not helping the club,  they're not even playing good football that would help them gain support of the fans.

I don't understand Eric Ten Hag new pattern that is making winning very difficult. He needs to try his best to make sure that the performance of the team will not decline that this, if not it will be a worst season for him and the club. Manchester will not finish on top four this season and they will not be playing in the champions league next season, because their performance is too poor to meet such target.

 I don't know what brought the change in the players performance too, they are not as smart and sharp like last season. Something needs to be done fast in other to put the team back to a good form before it is too late.

Indeed, Man United does not have a dangerous striker like the one you mentioned. But I think Man United must be able to utilize the existing strikers. He must be able to play the perfect partner for Man United at this time. Man United have a lot of injured players and will be lucky to be able to play them, especially considering this is at Old Trafford.

I think in this match Erik Ten Hag must have the courage to substitute Rashford and Bruno. Erik Tag had to make them come off the bench for several games. Holjund is still young, so start Martial and Rasmus to protect them from criticism and injury. Focus on defense, and in practice focus on retention and forward play. Against Newcestil who are doing well, I think Man United must have the courage to make wise decisions in arranging the line up, especially Rashford and Bruno who have to play from the bench.

Both teams have not confirmed the line up, so we don't know their seriousness in this tournament. I agreed that the Manchester United and Newcastle United match in Carabao Cup was not very important for them because there were other competitions with a far more important goal for them.
Manchester United and Newcastle still have to focus on the UEFA Champions League. If they are fully focused on the Carabao Cup, afraid of getting obstacles when struggling there.

Erik ten Hag and Eddie Howe might play a second layer player who often sits on a backup bench. The main players of each of the two teams will be rested or may be played as a substitute in 45 minutes of the second half later.

[AYOBA]

Manchester United is not far from Chelsea in time of performance this season, both clubs are really struggling to win a match perfectly. With the way Machester United is playing if they continue like that, I believe they we not make it to play in the European league next season. I see clubs like Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Brighton taking that position. Erik Ten Tag should know that this is Manchester United, not Ajax, he should forget about signing the players he has worked with before and sign players who are willing to fight for the club.

This season, both clubs are having difficulty winning matchs. However, given how poorly both teams have performed, particularly Chelsea, I wasn't convinced that either Manchester United or Chelsea would finish the season with any success due to their results. Chelsea is not quite as good as Manchester United.

Chelsea is only achieving 12 points, while Manchester United is still managing 15 points on the table. If those teams are genuinely interested in participating in the European League next season, they must make improvements.

Rashford misses so many positions in the game that sometimes he makes the fans angry. There is one position I remember in the last Galatasaray game and in this position he was facing the goalkeeper and he couldn't throw it to his friend who was very open and the opposition player came from behind and intervened. A very simple mistake for this level of football. This is just one position that comes to my mind and there are many more. Rashford plays very selfish and every ball he tries to shoot at goal. If he takes 10 shots, 2 of them go into the net and in the positions where these shots are taken he always has friends in a better position and he doesn't pass to them. Someone needs to talk to Rashford about this and talk him out of this behavior.

I think Holjund is a good player but his team is not supporting him enough. Manchester don't need a striker, they need harmony within the team.

I also want to talk about a deficiency that I see in the team, that at certain moments of the game they break away from the game and none of the players help each other. This is something I see a lot and Manchester should not do this.

The English Premier League is fiercely competitive; only the strongest can accomplish important positions on the table and even achieve championships. Given Manchester United and Chelsea underperforming in league games, it is going to require patience for both great teams to return to formidable condition this season. If Chelsea can compete at a high level with elite teams, I believe they should settle for lower-level accomplishments such as contending for the Carabao Cup and aiming to reach significant stages. But the current form of the Blues, they will disappoint us with unfamiliar results.
