Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job

Manchester United have hired and fired quite a lot of managers ever since Fergie retired, and looking at United's performances this season, it is easy to predict that Erik Ten Hag is going to go in the same way, he'd be fired sooner or later. Having said that, even if he is fired, that would not solve Manchester United's problems, they would still be struggling because the club has already lost its winning mentality and these days other clubs are no longer scared to play United, because they know that they can beat them. I don't know what Manchester United needs to do to get back to glory days, but i am pretty sure it would not happen anytime soon.

It is very obvious that Tottenham will win their match against Chelsea, if you watch Tottenham matches you will see that those boy plays with so much optimism and enthusiasm and considering Chelsea's recent performance one can confidently bank on Tottenham hotspur to win Chelsea.

Yeah considering the performance of Tottenham Hotspur this season they will surely win Chelsea because Chelsea seem not to be on a good performance which as affected there level or chances of wining their matches they were supposed to win.

But although considering how Chelsea plays whenever they meet a stronger team, they always put more efforts more than the way they usually play, so I believe they will really give Tottenham Hotspur a serious though time.

The only time Manchester United fans would seize being heart broken concerning their teams progress is when the Glaziers family stops being in control of the major affairs of the club, they're running the club poorly and investing less into it, which is affecting their performance on the pitch, another problem is that most of the executives at the board level are incompetent of handling their jobs properly and the Glaziers don't care so far they're receiving  a fat dividend annually.

 The problem is not about Erik Ten Hag, if they Glaziers doesn't handle the club properly then the problems in the club would never get solved no matter the coach they bring in, the club needs restructuring and several incompetent people from the players down to the board needs to be changed as well investing properly into the training section and other sections that needs new development.

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job, Manchester united had broken so many personal negative record since his taking over as the head coach till now, they aren't a team that plays with any pattern anymore, Newcastle isn't at there best and did not start some of their top players but still beat Manchester united 3:0 I think it's time ten Hag leave the helm of affairs as Manchester united manager.

I don't know what else to say to fans and opposing fans before they see that Erik Ten Hag deserves the job and doesn't need to be shown the exit because of his errors and fails this season.
He is the right man for the job who understands the fans. Last season he was set as the first manager in Manchester United to have the best winning percentage for the first season. Asides, that he created the Old Trafford atmosphere that was already in shambles after being handled by different coaches who failed to set standards.

Sir Alex Ferguson at his early beginnings got pressured just like this but he was given the chance he needs and he eventually turned things around for the club. Erik Ten Hag needs same backing from the fans and the club management.

[Huppercase]

Erik ten Hag's achievements last season with Man United are still quite good with a third-place finish, now only experiencing a slump but fans are becoming excessively nervous, Erik Ten Hag's record is quite good, the manager still believes in the sense that Erik Ten Hag can still develop a philosophy with Man United that is in line later, I am sure that if he is retained there will be little change with the team, we know now for big teams the demands are too great when experiencing defeat, fans will act as they wish.

I don't blame people that are overreacting to the club performance. Look at the situation of the club, if you are also the fans, you will be mad. Conceded 3 goals to Manchester City and then lose another to Newcastle with the same 3 goals conceded. The club isn't in good shape even when they won good place among the top 4 that proceeded to the Champions League, even in the Champions League, they are not doing good.

I dont know how Manchester United are going to go out of this position but isn't Erik Ten Hag is gradually turning to Pochettino, not too much differences, they make you happy today and the next day, they have started again the usual poor performance and that's why even as sometimes their performance is fair, I don't watch their match because I'm not even a fan but they break heart every weekends which is bad.

Erik Ten Hag situation in Manchester United will be critical and it is already hard right now. There was talk about Manchester United willing to hire Zinedine Zidane but of course nothing is official yet and I doubt he will accept to train such team with many dysfunctional players.. It is sad to see them being humiliated with 3 goals to 0 in two matches successively vs Manchester City in EPL then in EFL Cup vs Newcastle.
Arsenal defeat vs West Ham was surprising for me, I didn't expect them to lose breaking their good record so far!

[kawetsriyanto]

From the news circulating now, it seems that Manchester United management is ready to fire Erik Ten Hag even though he has to pay a large amount of compensation. Even rumors regarding potential successors at Manchester United have also begun to circulate, including:

1. Zinedine Zidane
2. Roberto De Zerbi
3. Xabi Alonso
4. Graham Potter, and
5. Hansi Flick

Zidane, De Zerbi and Xabi are the most ideal candidates IMO considering their recent achievements .

After Man United got defeated at home by big scores, it is very possible that Man United management to consider sacking Erik Ten Hag. Man United management and fans must be very unsatisfied with Ten Hag, he makes Man United to be like an average team (mediocre team) in EPL this season. Man United current position is in 8th place, it is not the ideal position for Man United. Ten Hag also have bad relationship with some players, he failed to create good atmosphere among the players. With this matters, I can understand if there is a rumor about Man United to sack Ten Hag.

Among the candidates above, I'm not sure if it is possible to hire Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi because they have a long contract duration with their current clubs. I only think that Man United possibly negotiate with Zidane, Potter, and Hansi Flick. But honestly, I'm not sure if Zidane is interested to manage Man United. If Ancelotti really leaves Real Madrid, I think Zidane will be more interested to return to Real Madrid. So, I think Man United only has a chance to sign Potter or Hansi Flick.

Yes the defence of Manchester United has been on the weak side, but Maguire and the lindelof have been doing exceptional job recently. Dallot was not able to attack almiron properly during that first goal encounter, Maguire would have done a good job if he was in the position of Dallot.
Manchester United really need improvement, I don't know if there should be change on the coach or the entire squared, it really frustrating seeing United strongly to win almost every week.

The changes that Manchester United need are in several players and also in the way they train existing players, because when Manchester United's tactics are now easier for their opponents to read, of course it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win. every week. Moreover, this season Manchester United also have to think more in several competitions including the UCL, where in general they are also struggling to qualify for the next round there.

The way they train may be fairly old for both physical training and in instilling a strategy, but it seems that Manchester United performed better lately even though they are still inferior to Manchester City, because indeed from all Manchester City players are fairly flexible and the players are sufficient Easy to be favored with every opponent's strategy they face so that it is easily read and they can get a gap to win the match.

Manchester United in his defense line has been quite improved but in the middle midfielder and the executor of the front attacker is still fairly standard ability and their movements such as there is no direction for destination because there is no player who is able to fight 1 on two or a good breaking partner in midfield to the front line to destroy the opponent's defense.
At UCL there are only two matches and Manchester United have to win the match without losing so that the second position they can secure and continue to the knockout.

Manchester United are so inconsistent this season and they have been so porous in the defence that almost all the teams they've played against in the premier league have been able to score them.They also have a goalkeeper that I see as the worst keeper in the premier league this season,which is Onana.When he was brought in,everybody thought be was going to be the perfect replacement to DeGea,but he couldn't replace him,he has made every Manchester United fans miss DeGea because the person brought in to fill the void he left isn't able to be a perfect replacement to him.Anytime I want to include United in my games,I prefer giving their opponent over 0.5 goal because definitely,they always score them,it's now a sure odd for me.

[Renampun]

There was no doubt about it as ten Haag had really had a good performance if we leave out the recent performances since he started as a manager for United. Some fans get restless too early but I think ten Haag has the mentality and is a tactical coach to again bring back United on track. It's the part of trust and believing and I had no doubts that given his past records United will trust him bak again.

Erik ten Hag's achievements last season with Man United are still quite good with a third-place finish, now only experiencing a slump but fans are becoming excessively nervous, Erik Ten Hag's record is quite good, the manager still believes in the sense that Erik Ten Hag can still develop a philosophy with Man United that is in line later, I am sure that if he is retained there will be little change with the team, we know now for big teams the demands are too great when experiencing defeat, fans will act as they wish.

Man Utd fans don't look at Man Utd's position last season, they pay attention to Man Utd's position this season and to be honest, Man Utd appeared disappointing, even in the EFL Cup, Man Utd lost 3-0 to Newcastle, this is what underlies the chants Innuendo made by Man Utd fans towards Ten Hag. in the last 5 matches played by man utd in all leagues, man utd's performance was quite disappointing, they wasted a lot of opportunities, I don't know what is actually the cause of man utd's decline in the last few matches.

[Furious 7]

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job, Manchester united had broken so many personal negative record since his taking over as the head coach till now, they aren't a team that plays with any pattern anymore, Newcastle isn't at there best and did not start some of their top players but still beat Manchester united 3:0 I think it's time ten Hag leave the helm of affairs as Manchester united manager.

For now, Manchester United are experiencing a big slump but on the other hand, things like this also cannot be blamed entirely on Ten Hag because after all, he was also the one who contributed last season when Manchester United slumped in the previous Ole Era and Ten Hag was the one who brought Manchester United back to the Champions League this season.
Firing at this time would be considered a rash action even though it is true that Manchester United are currently playing quite badly but there must be time for Ten Hag to prove himself again and at this time other internal problems must also be resolved especially with problems with investors and their club owners because after all I think this affects the performance of the club even though it is only a little but if it is left too long then this problem will become big and disturbing for a long time just like Chelsea is experiencing now.

Maybe they are still looking at his past glory to hope the he turns out better soon, his first time at Manchester united which happens to be last season, he was able to help them qualify for the champions league so maybe they are thinking that with time he will get better.

But it's not looking like time is all he need, he needs more than time, strategy and a better tactical formation. Ten hag also needs to develop a very cordial relationship with his players as it seems like there isn't any. Its looking like some of the players are yet to properly get along with him and it's reflected in their performance, maybe by January he could opt to further get some more players whom can him achieve the desired results and he needs consistency with his tactics and strategy aswell not introducing a new one for every match , somehow Manchester may need an overhaul.

[Stable090]

But although considering how Chelsea plays whenever they meet a stronger team, they always put more efforts more than the way they usually play, so I believe they will really give Tottenham Hotspur a serious though time.

I guess the match won’t be an easy one for the two clubs. Chelsea lost their last Premier League match, but I won’t still be surprised if Chelsea perform incredibly well in the match. Chelsea have played two strong clubs this season, which are Liverpool and Arsenal, and the two matches ended in draws. Tottenham is also a strong club, so let’s expect Chelsea to give them a difficult moment in the match. Chelsea played poorly against Brentford, but I am not still underestimating Chelsea, they might end up surprising everyone in their next match. If I am making a prediction, then I will be predicting a draw in the match.

Of a truth, Erik Ten Hag hasn't been impressive with his results for the Manchester United team since the start of the season and that's why majority of the club fans across the globe are asking for the sacking of the Dutchman.
Manchester United management board are adamant of sacking the manager at the moment but I don't think the club will still keep faith with the club manager if the team continues to suffer defeats in subsequent time. So if Ten Hag really wants to remain as the club he must improve the team's performance and results with his tactical approach.

Everything has changed this season and Ten Hag and his team seem to have lost direction and purpose. I don't see anything extraordinary from the performance of the Manchester United players, in fact I too often doubt them to be able to compete closely at the top of the standings this season. There are certainly big changes that the team as a whole is expected to make, but it will never be easy.

This season Manchester United will not go anywhere, maybe they will replace Liverpool and Tottenham who were not very good last season. This season Liverpool and Tottenham have changed drastically and they really have good competition at the top of the table. The season is still long, but I am not impressed with what Manchester United have shown so far.

[Nheer]

Yeah considering the performance of Tottenham Hotspur this season they will surely win Chelsea because Chelsea seem not to be on a good performance which as affected there level or chances of wining their matches they were supposed to win.

But although considering how Chelsea plays whenever they meet a stronger team, they always put more efforts more than the way they usually play, so I believe they will really give Tottenham Hotspur a serious though time.

Of course Tottenham are doing far better than Chelsea this season and it is very obvious that from their mode of play and current form in the league they should win Chelsea but looking at Chelsea’s performance against bigger teams they have performed excellently well against big teams so far this season so I don’t think this match would be any different. Chelsea might be struggling against smaller clubs but We all saw what Chelsea did to Arsenal and Liverpool, these two matches have been their best performances so far this season so we shouldn’t be so confident in Tottenham winning then becacuse all i see is a very tough match full of wonderful attacking moments.

Chelsea are not clinical in front of goal and it has hindered their progress this season, they need a goal poacher in the team. I am a chelsea fan and despite knowing how poor our performance is recently i still believe we can put up a fight against Tottenham hotspur.

[Google+]

I think, sack letter will soon be issue to Ten Hag if this poor performance continue because the results Manchester united are achieving in this season is not making the management and fans to breath well as before, which the management need to take a good decision to tackle some things that will make the players to improve. I know many people are not well comfortable with that defeat Arsenal defeated Manchester united in few minutes to the end of the match, which other teams will never allow such thing to happen than to draw the match 1-1 to share the points but Arsenal achieved three points to caused heavy celebration in the stadium. I believe, there are some old players  Manchester united management need to release to other teams so that they can be able to bring in new talented players that will help them to erase some errors to improve the team before the end of the tournament.

His position as coach of Manchester United is indeed not good after the bad series experienced in the last two matches made the issue of Erik Ten Hag dismissal increasingly hotly discussed. But for now, as we can see, He has a fairly small chance of being able to stay longer with Manchester United because if Manchester United loses again in the next match, it's possible that Manchester United management will fire him. Apart from that, the level of harmony within the team has also not been good lately because this defeat has made a number of players very frustrated. Some of the best options might be that Erik must be able to deliver victory in the upcoming match to gain the trust of the fans and Manchester United management.

The names of top coaches are starting to be associated with Manchester United, such as Zidane and several other coaches. However, at this time the news is not accurate enough whether Manchester United will fire Erik Ten Hag early or they will give Erik time to improve Manchester United performance in the second half of the season.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job, Manchester united had broken so many personal negative record since his taking over as the head coach till now, they aren't a team that plays with any pattern anymore, Newcastle isn't at there best and did not start some of their top players but still beat Manchester united 3:0 I think it's time ten Hag leave the helm of affairs as Manchester united manager.

Seriously, I am more disappointed in Manchester United that yesterday for the three goals it conceded against Newcastle because I never expected that to happen because the match was hosted at Old Trafford. With the way I am looking at Manchester United currently, things are getting worse for them. They really need a better coach to take over from Ten Hag, if not, I don't think that Manchester United can qualify for the Champions League next season. manchester United have a good set of players, but it always surprises me why they are always performing poorly. There is no more confidence in the Manchester United squad again and it is the worst thing for a big club to be in this kind of situation.

I Don't know what else the Manchester united board wants to see before they are convinced that Ten Hag isn't the man for the job

Manchester United have hired and fired quite a lot of managers ever since Fergie retired, and looking at United's performances this season, it is easy to predict that Erik Ten Hag is going to go in the same way, he'd be fired sooner or later. Having said that, even if he is fired, that would not solve Manchester United's problems, they would still be struggling because the club has already lost its winning mentality and these days other clubs are no longer scared to play United, because they know that they can beat them. I don't know what Manchester United needs to do to get back to glory days, but i am pretty sure it would not happen anytime soon.

The problem that needs to be addressed now is the fact that firing the coach is not a wise decision either as it is a gamble that will ultimately come down to a choice where changing the coach could be beneficial or even detrimental to the club itself.
Manchester United certainly understand what happened in the Rangnick and Ole era which in the end is what made them fall.
Firing Ten Hag would indeed be easy with the performance he currently has but the problem is whether after Ten Hag leaves there will be a guarantee that Manchester United will change drastically with a new coach because if in the end the performance remains the same then they themselves lose in addition to financial terms because firing will require money for compensation and finding a suitable new coach will not be easy and require even more money in the end.

[QueenVera]

Seriously, I am more disappointed in Manchester United that yesterday for the three goals it conceded against Newcastle because I never expected that to happen because the match was hosted at Old Trafford. With the way I am looking at Manchester United currently, things are getting worse for them.

There is no more confidence in the Manchester United squad again and it is the worst thing for a big club to be in this kind of situation.

After they lost in their derby match I knew it was going to affect them in their next match cause alot of rumours kept spreading concerning  the dressing room challenges Erik Ten is having with most of his players, however Newcastle's performance currently is better than that òf United and they're even above them in the standings, however it's very shameful for a team that's defending a trophy to be removed so early and scored 3 goals in their home ground.

 The whole team is lacking a boost in their confidence and also I think there is something the Manchester United coach is not doing properly that's why nothing is working for the club regardless of the squad they've got, even if they'll be able to revive their form later I doubt they'll make even top 6 they might finish 8th or 10th place.

[red4slash]

I will be so much interested in the game between Arsenal and Newcastle this weekend,where the gunners will want to continue their unbeaten form against a strong side.Newcastle have been one of the best teams in the league this season and they have carried that form to the UEFA champions league where they are also on the verge bid qualifying from the group stages.
Arsenal will be playing without their key players Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey,which will be  and advantage for Newcastle.Arsenal performances have dropped a little bit with their two wings not functioning effectively as it used to.I am not going to give my prediction on this one,but I think it's going to end in a draw.

This will be a very tight match, Newcastle who will play host status in this match will not want Arsenal to embarrass them in front of their own supporters. On the other hand Arsenal come with a big mission, they are eyeing a victory to keep their unbeaten record and also eyeing 3 points to continue to maintain their position in the standings. If they lose this week then I am very sure their position will be shifted by the team below them, especially by Manchester City who will play a match against Bournemouth which statistically healthy this should be an easy win for them.

But looking at the current h2h of the 10 matches that Newcastle and Arsenal had when they met, Newcastle were only able to win 1 win and 1 draw the other 8 were defeats for Newcastle so by looking at this condition even though last season and 2 seasons are different for Newcastle but I'm pretty sure Arsenal can win this match even though they play home.
But on the other hand I agree that this match will be interesting because in the last few matches these two teams are still playing very well, especially for Arsenal, who did manage to hold and win several matches against big clubs like Manchester City or Chelsea.
Newcastle also yesterday managed to win absolutely against Manchester United even though it was only the EFL and the condition of the players was also a fairness but still this could be an encouragement.

Indeed it can be a reference but when a few years earlier with now obviously it is very different so in this case I think it would not be suitable to compare Newcastle in the past with their current version which is always troublesome with the revolution created from the money they have.
At the moment their chances of winning are still there, especially now that they are at St. James Park, which in fact is a headquarters that can be haunted for the opponents that Newcastle face.
But on the other hand I agree that surely Arsenal are the favourites in this match, it's just that my thoughts are that this will be a draw because looking at the composition of the players and the performance that both of them have at the moment the big chance is a draw but this is the EPL where the big possibilities that occur sometimes cannot be a true benchmark and there could be surprises in this match.
