Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Abu-Naim]

The game is not over yet, so you just can't conclude on who will be winning this game tonight, because though this match is a match we all expected & thought Liverpool will win, and started with a bad impression seeing Toulouse taking the lead the entire first half and the entire 90 minutes of the game, but as of recently I just saw that both "D. Jota" and "J. Quansah" have just scored two goals, making the game currently (Toulouse 3 - 3 Liverpool), a clear sign that this game is likely to end draw in the worst case scenario.

After a VAR review of the final goal, it was canceled, and the game concluded 3-2.
We never expected Liverpool to lose this match given their performance in the first leg, but sadly, Klopp rested some players and the match did not go in their favor. Liverpool, Brighton, and West Ham United, who are all representing England in the Europa League, are all leading their respective groups as a result of their outstanding performances thus far.

André Onana has conceded numerous unexpected goals and is having a disastrous season in the club, he has become a mockery goalkeeper in his new club, Manchester United have made him decrease in worth and confidence in games, he continues to have problems, and I hope one day he finds the exact spot to pin his pending astounding goalkeeping skills. Manchester United lacked aggressive defenders who will pose a significant threat to their opponents, and I blame Erik Ten Hag for these mistakes, since he failed to buy backup defenders for the primary positions.

Onana's was really criticised by fans and I think the poor performance that warrant the criticism from fans is not his fault, but a result of the general team's performance, Onana before now in his previous teams was as good as ever, he won awards and made good name for himself. His move to Manchester United and his performance afterwards surprised everyone because suddenly, he began to concede consistently and it was disappointing for the club as a whole.

 Do not blame Onana for his flops, Manchester United right now needs reformation, their defense, midfield, attack and team management as a whole needs to be fixed.
Hopefully, they'd work on themselves and bring back the fighting spirit Onana experienced in his last teams, especially at Intermilan.

I’m also seriously surprised to see Liverpool lose this match.

I'm more surprised as you are because this match was supposed to be a sure wining match for Liverpool but they lose the opportunity, at first they were feeding that Toulouse will be very easy for them to win but to there greatest surprise Liverpool saw what they did not imagine will happen on there match today.

The funny part of it was that Toulouse were playing Liverpool as if Liverpool was some kind of smaller team, the first and second half was not easy on Liverpool, if not that they peak form on the last minutes they would have not score any goal today, so perhaps with the determination they have during the last minute if it was the same determination on there first half they would have won the match.

People are mocking him, but he doesn't care and only listens to the coach's critics.  As a result, his performance should have improved by now, yet it appears to be deteriorating. When we blame the goalkeeper, we must also blame the defenders because they contribute to the higher number of goals scored by this goalkeeper in a game. I will not blame just one person, but rather the entire team for causing their goalkeeper to concede so many goals since joining the team this season as opposed to when he was at Ajax, his old club.

[DaNNy001]

Newcastle need to learn how to play in Europe, I think they are sound in the English premier league but in Europe they are still trying to find their play.
Newcastle against Dortmund yesterday was a very poor performance from Newcastle especially in the first half, and Dortmund is not in the best form.
I think Newcastle were playing too safe and it worked against them, second half was a bit better but still it was poor compared to what they can do, they have now made it very difficult for themselves to qualify from the group.

That is just because the Champions League is a different level competition. Do not forget that only the top four and three clubs in European top leagues make it to the champions league grouping and it obviously is a tougher competition than playing in the league games. I won’t blame Newcastle United for their inconsistency because most of their players are new to the champions league and still lack experience to strive in the competition.

Although you still can't deny the fact that this Dortmund team are also at their peak and couple with the fact that are a regular in the champions. They have the experience to count for them and they really did well because with Newcastle securing that first victory over PSG which shocked some because I was not surprised seeing how PSG has been performing lately, everyone would be thinking that they can also repeat same feat with the German but Dortmund certainly made sure that it was the opposite of it.

[kawetsriyanto]

Everyone is blaming Onana for his poor performance, but all blame shouldn’t be put on Onana. We should also blame Manchester United's defenders. If the defense of a club is not strong, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, his performance will still look poor. There are a lot of balls that the defenders are supposed to be covering up for Onana, but since Manchester United defenders are not capable of doing that, it’s making it look like Onana’s performance is really poor. But we know Onana was a good goalkeeper before coming to Manchester United.

Yep. We must admit that Man United defenders often played badly. The problem of Man United defense is actually on the defenders, not on the goalkeeper. It is because it already happened since De Gea was in Man United. People blamed De Dea at that time, but they just realize it now that De Gea shouldn't be blamed because the real problem is on the defenders. It is proven that Onana also experienced the same thing, there is no change on the defense strength. I don't know why Ten Hag never choose the right defenders when he buys new defenders in the transfer season. I sometimes assume that Ten Hag looks not really care about building Man United defense line. He is too focused on building Man United front line and midfield line.

Newcastle stats in the English Premier League is exceptional but outside the league, they continue to suffer which not the possible plans. Eddie Howe, the right man to take the Magpies to glory this season, he has attempted countless times and fail but this season seems to be quite different from the rest and he will actually achieved what he's seeking as long as he maintains competitive strength. Borrusia Dortmund didn't rush out as Newcastle operates, Edin Terzic men calm the whole hurry actions triggered by Newcastle United who later became more exhausted to play and gave up so easily to score a goal.

André Onana has conceded numerous unexpected goals and is having a disastrous season in the club, he has become a mockery goalkeeper in his new club, Manchester United have made him decrease in worth and confidence in games, he continues to have problems, and I hope one day he finds the exact spot to pin his pending astounding goalkeeping skills.

Onana has received lots of insults from Manchester United fans. Onana, who we all know to be a good keeper in Inter Milan, then after he got to Manchester United, his performance dropped and everyone was insulting him. Manchester United didn’t get what they expected from Onana; the hype on him was just too much when Manchester United were about to sing him. Manchester United expects the guy to perform better even with their weak defence. If Manchester United can’t work on their defence, then Onana will be conceding goals easily.

I don't think it's Onana fault that causes them to lose matches, but rather the defense. Manchester United need to get some new defenders and striker Onana is trying his best in the club when he save penalty against Copenhagen all the fans are happy but because they defeated them in the second leg they are insulting him the Coach needs to resolve the problem If Manchester United have better defenders and strikers, you will see Onana's performance because when he is keeping for Inter Milan, he keeps great because they have strong defenders that can help him and reduce the pressure, but sometimes Onana plays too much, he has too much confidence with the ball, and that causes him to make all the errors some times Manchester United should just signed new players they should stop complaining about Onana if they have a good defenders they won't be scoring him any how like that.

Manchester United has a problem that is difficult to solve this season. The performance of the players was very disorganized even when the worst player in the defense began to show positive changes. Yes, Manchester United's defense is poor although I think Harry Maguire has gotten better this season. Injury problems are to blame for their weak defense and it gets worse when their midfielders look selfish.

Ten Hag seems to have really failed to overcome the problems his team has experienced this season. He will probably be sacked instead of getting much time and trust if this season fails to take Manchester United to the last 16 of the Champions League. Manchester United also appear inconsistent in the Premier League and it is increasingly worrying that they will be able to secure a place in the Champions League zone next season.

Few weeks back they was praising him for the penalty saved and for a weak they stopped criticizing the lad only to begin unnecessary talks about how many goals he has conceded.
Onana was great for Inter Milan? What's happening here at Manchester United have they bothered to ask themselves questions.
Manchester United will bounce back but they need not sack Erik Ten Hag for he understands the quest of the fans.
Anyone still banking on Newcastle to win? They disappointed against Borrussia Dortmund back to back games.

Ten Hag seems to have really failed to overcome the problems his team has experienced this season. He will probably be sacked instead of getting much time and trust if this season fails to take Manchester United to the last 16 of the Champions League. Manchester United also appear inconsistent in the Premier League and it is increasingly worrying that they will be able to secure a place in the Champions League zone next season.

That's what I see is that Erik Ten Hag is a failure who still can't overcome his problems on all fronts, including defense.
Regarding the dismissal, there is still doubt, will Man United take firm action if Erik Ten Hag fails to qualify for the last 16 of the UCL? Likewise, securing the Champions League zone still seems difficult because Man United often loses in matches where they don't perform well.

During this season Man United has no changes, I can say last season was much better and now much worse.
The main factor is because many players are injured.

[ginsan]

Yep. We must admit that Man United defenders often played badly. The problem of Man United defense is actually on the defenders, not on the goalkeeper.

I don't know why Ten Hag never choose the right defenders when he buys new defenders in the transfer season. I sometimes assume that Ten Hag looks not really care about building Man United defense line. He is too focused on building Man United front line and midfield line.

In my opinion, Manchester united lost important players in their defense due to injuries such as Lisandro martinez, Malacia, Shaw. So their performance this season is considered a crisis in their defensive line because several of them have to be absent for a long time to recover from injuries. This is what has had a negative impact on their performance this season, but apart from that, of course Onana performance has been criticized by Manchester united defeat in several previous match. because Onana status is as a substitute for De Gea, whose performance the fans really pay attention to.

And apart from that, of course, if you look at the overall performance of Manchester united players this season, it is not very impressive in every match. Several players who were quite influential last season experienced a setback in their performance such as Rashford. I think Manchester united players must be able to improve their quality to be able to support their performance this season.

It is because it already happened since De Gea was in Man United. People blamed De Dea at that time, but they just realize it now that De Gea shouldn't be blamed because the real problem is on the defenders.

During De Gea, things were still better, De Gea was not really conceding many goals compared to the way Onana is conceding currently. You will find it difficult that Onana won't concede in a match. Ten hag didn’t know he made a great mistake by chasing away De gea, ten hag was thinking maybe it was de gea that was performing poorly, he didn’t know that the fault was not from the goalkeeper but from defenders, Ten hag already got a new goalkeeper, but Manchester United's problems haven’t been solved yet. Let’s see how ten hag will work on the defense line when the next transfer window is open.

[EL MOHA]

Few weeks back they was praising him for the penalty saved and for a weak they stopped criticizing the lad only to begin unnecessary talks about how many goals he has conceded.
Onana was great for Inter Milan? What's happening here at Manchester United have they bothered to ask themselves questions.

Some fans definitely are just something else, I watched the game yesterday and I can’t say I found any of Those goals to be his fault, the whole team is a shadow of themselves and to be honest the man at center of this is definitely Rashford who has had such a bad season, he is they’re main source of goals last season and having him out of form definitely would affect anyone. Your goal keeper can’t keep out all goals or do some extra work when the outfield players just allow opponents to shoot everytime.

I would go for Ten Hag getting sacked but for who, the available coaches are almost similar to him and sacking him might come with huge compensation because he just recently signed a new long term contract. What United needs is to forget about wining major trophy now

[Weawant]

Although you still can't deny the fact that this Dortmund team are also at their peak and couple with the fact that are a regular in the champions. They have the experience to count for them and they really did well because with Newcastle securing that first victory over PSG which shocked some because I was not surprised seeing how PSG has been performing lately, everyone would be thinking that they can also repeat same feat with the German but Dortmund certainly made sure that it was the opposite of it.

Dortmund is in their good form and definitely was expected to win but then Newcastle was definitely dominant in the game and was looking like they were going to win, and Dortmund was leading with their attempts in goals, Newcastle didn't get any goal at the end of the first half

Dortmund has always won Newcastle in their previous meetings and Dortmund has a good form, even in their domestic league they are doing well but they had a sad loss against Munich, Newcastle is currently at the Sixth position with twenty points in the premier league and are at the last position on the UCL group stage, obviously Newcastle does better in the premier league than in the champions league.

[red4slash]

And apart from that, of course, if you look at the overall performance of Manchester united players this season, it is not very impressive in every match. Several players who were quite influential last season experienced a setback in their performance such as Rashford. I think Manchester united players must be able to improve their quality to be able to support their performance this season.

It will be very difficult to do because in the end when talking about this, apart from the players themselves there must be the role of the coach as a spirit booster for them to try to get out of their current poor performance and Ten Hag still cannot do that now so the chemistry between the players and the coach still has a gap that makes teamwork in the squad also disrupted.
I think it would be wiser for Rashford to now realise that indeed this season he is very bad at playing. This season I even see his ego getting bigger where he rarely sees other players and only focuses on dribbling and forcing the opportunities he has. This pattern must be changed and not only Rashford is like this but also Bruno who must improve his performance.

For Antony he actually has good potential, it's just that he's too emotional and the problems at the beginning of this season are still bothering him which makes his performance decline in the current season too. The internal problems of Manchester United are too many and honestly I think things like this are difficult to control if in the end there is no awareness from the players and coaches.

Well, we can refer to the spending budget disbursed by Glazer. In fact, as we know, let alone bringing in a strong defender, to bring in a goalkeeper, even a midfielder, Ten Hag has run out of funds for that. So, what does Ten expect from United with its FFP sanctions. Despite the fact, Grazer does not rule out the possibility of being able to spend large expenditures if they do not receive financial fair play sanctions.
Previously, the Qatar camp offered that they would overcome everything, including bringing in players who had above average quality. Unfortunately, the Glazer family is reluctant and the Qatar camp is no longer interested.

In fact, currently the United camp is experiencing problems, a crisis within their internal problems. there are many factors, starting from players who are injured, some cases like Antony, even though he has returned to playing for the squad. Jardon Scanho, and external internal problems that corner Ten Hag. So, it doesn't just happen to Onana. The point is, Ten Hag as the head coach received a terrible attack to resign or be fired. However, it is not that easy to solve the problems in their camp in a short time.
Well, fortunately, before the match against Galatasaray, several United defenders were reported to have recovered ahead of the match, such as Luke Shaw and Malacia. at least, he got extra ammunition. For Lisandro Martinez, he needed quite a long time. Likewise with Casemiro's status, which cannot be ascertained. As a neutral fan, I only hope that Ten Hag can fix it like last season and be able to handle the problems within their camp.

The top of the EPL standings this season will become clear as the season progresses. Man City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal are the four strongest teams in the title race. These four teams benefited from the inconsistency of two other elite clubs, Chelsea and Man United. However, it is possible that The Red Devils and The Blues will become stumbling blocks for the leaders in the upcoming matches.

If Chelsea are able to surprise again in Week 12 against Man City by beating them, or holding them to a draw, it will make Tottenham return to the top of the standings, because Ange squad has a slightly weak opponent namely Wolves. I think there won't be too big of a difference in points this season in the top four standings, especially if these teams will be shopping for players in the transfer market next january.
.
On the other hand I think Chelsea and Man United will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings this season, the most realistic target is to appear in the Europa League next season.

Chelsea and Manchester United this season have been in their poorest forms, finding it hard to secure a point not to even mention a solid 3 points, these slow pace and inconsistent game scorelines though makes for their difficulty in attaining better positions on the league table, Unlike other big teams who are doing efficiently, it'll be difficult for the former two teams to finish in a good stand this season.

 It's almost the first half of the season and they're still lagging far behind in earning points, their games with small teams can't even be sure to do the trick for them because they're still uncertain about their team balance, It's sad that Chelsea and Manchester United have to be faced with these battle at these moments and it now seem as if all hope is lost for them, well it's seeming like it but we still hope a correction can be made.

Ten Hag's only option right now, in my opinion, to keep Manchester United's defense solid is to hope that the club doesn't fire him before January when they will need to acquire new defenders to cover their goalposts. Apparently, Onana needs a strong defense that would make it difficult for other teams to score him easily. He is not to accomplish it on his own without the help of Manchester United 

[Coyster]

I would go for Ten Hag getting sacked but for who, the available coaches are almost similar to him and sacking him might come with huge compensation because he just recently signed a new long term contract. What United needs is to forget about wining major trophy now

How can a club as big as Manchester United forget about winning a major trophy, those as the hierarchy invest huge sums of money into the football club to see them successful, and not to watch them win nothing. I know that the board has been trying to bring the club back to its glory days, but all to no avail, but they cannot stop until they get it right.

Having said that, sooner or later i think Erik Ten Hag is going to be sacked, it may seem like the hierarchy is solidly behind him right now, but if this poor form doesn't stop and they are continue losing games left, right and center, they will have to fire Ten Hag, it is definitely not what the club wants to do, but it might be inevitable.
