Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

~~

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 .

However I think there is still a little hope for The Red Devils squad to recover and improve things in the future. although I know this optimism seems a little strange in the midst of their downturn, the United squad and everyone involved in it have no choice but to try to improve things.

Yes, if Manchester United ASAP gets a replacement for ETH at Manchester United.

I just read about this rumor, which reports the possibility of Ten Hag's dismissal. Reportedly, Ten Hag is in a difficult condition and is at risk of being overtaken by Manchester United who are actively exploring whether to appoint Zidane or other alternatives, according to a report I read. According to the Times, Ten Hag is now on thin ice and the club is actively looking for alternatives. The newspaper claims a senior United source told them that Ten Hag was at risk of being sacked.

Two potential replacements are said to be under consideration when the club is looking for a replacement, and Ole Gunnar Solskjer is one of them. and another, former Real Madrid boss Zidane. as mentioned in this post. Additionally, The Times would like to emphasize that Rafcliffe's main priorities when brought into Old Trafford will be related to other important positions such as chief executive, sporting director and the formation of a new football board. even then, if Ratcliffe's takeover of Manchester United reaches an agreement on 25% of the club's shares. Therefore, and apparently in keeping with many aspects of Manchester United at the moment, the situation regarding the managerial position is riddled with uncertainty. but what is clear is that Ten Hag has never been as close to being fired from Man United as he is now. Several other names were not included in the newspaper report I referred to.

IMO, I'm pretty sure Zidane would reject it. As for Ole, do we have to discuss it? Based on my personal point of view, if Ten Hag is fired without even giving him a chance to improve his squad. especially while waiting for injured players, will not solve the situation they are currently facing. In fact, for me, ideally, the Glazer family should be the ones who should leave United and move ownership to Qatar. Thus, United in the next few years will be a great and strong team.

[Mayor of ogba]

Erik Ten Hag's future in Manchester United depends on where they finish this season, if they end the season disappointingly, i am pretty sure the patience of those at United's hierarchy would run out and he'd be fired. United have started the season in the worst way possible: eliminated from the Carabao cup, 8th position in the league table, won only 1 game out of 3 in the CL, and could well be eliminated from the group stage.

I am not sure the management of Manchester United will allow Erik Ten Hag to remain with the club until the end of the season if he keeps getting unfavorable results. The club spent a reasonable amount this season and they have some of the best players in the EPL, so the problem might be the coaching crew. They still have a good chance of qualifying for the second round of the Champion League. I think he might be sacked if they end up not qualifying.

Ten Hag is under quite a lot of pressure, this is not what the fans want to see, and TBH I cannot see a change in fortune happening, thus it might be inevitable that Erik Ten Hag would get fired, sooner or later.

It is quite unfortunate to see a couch that was at his best in Ajax struggling to make an impact in Manchester United. He guided some set of young players in Ajax to win five trophies. Maybe the management structure of United is not giving him the right support or he is not just good for the EPL. I think the Glazers should just sell the club.

One thing we must know is that this is the premier league and it is a different league from the Eredivisie league. Erik Teg Hag has signed some of the players he has worked with at Ajax, and he has failed to give the fans the results they needed. I think the Glazer family is not responsible for the poor results of Erik Teg Hag because they have backed him to buy the choice of players he wanted such as the $100 million Anthony Santos.

[borovichok]

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.

Manchester united humiliating defeats at Old Trafford against Manchester City and Newcastle United is enough reason for the Glazers to sack Erik Ten Hag. He stand no chances of surviving in the long competitive race for EPL title. There are alot of things that he ought to improve about his team, but he's reluctant and incapable of handling the big tasks. Manchester united is a finish team, there are alot of negative effects on the team. Erik Ten Hag is incompetent to handle the team and he's also part of the current problem, the team encounter.

[$crypto$]

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.

One very good reason why Ten Hag is yet to prove his abilities at Manchester United is because he hasn't also signed the kind of players that trend and conform to his style in English football. Ajax has always been a great spot for building great players, but despite the injury woes in the Man U team, Ten Hag hasn't been able to get the kind of players to fit his style of play yet. That's a problem clearly visible from my perspective. The Qatarists would do better spending on the kind of players Ten Hag needs, so I believe. But would it guarantee they start winning games and be in top form again?

The news circulating has been denied by Man United and just told by Fabrizio Romano, that Man United rejected the idea or contact to fire Erik Ten Hag.
The club management said it was a false story.
Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1720141542210387976

It seems that Man United will not hear what is happening out there even though it will be a demand because of Man United's defeat at home twice, this time maybe they still believe in Erik Ten Hag and will not fire in the near future.
The club management still believes in Erik Ten Hag.

Firing a coach in the middle of the season can be considered detrimental to the team, especially because they have to pay compensation. Then from that, the difficulty of getting a replacement coach is the main problem why Manchester United does not need to fire its current coach. Ten Hag still deserves a chance and the trust of the Manchester United management after a great last season, but if anything needs to change then I think some of his defensive players should be replaced.

Then from that, Manchester United also has to look for a new top winger who can improve their game when building attacks. They need rivals to be the best in their squad, so there is no time to be lazy if they want to be the first choice. To be honest I'm surprised by Rashford's form this season, he's really been in a different form so far.

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.

[Roseline492]

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 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!

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.

[Sakanwa]

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.

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.

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.
