Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[imamusma]

The performance from manchester united never improved since ferguon had left from the club. The reason I believe Mourinho was the best choice as a coach for MU is because of his immense impact on the team's performance, leading them to come close to winning the EPL and securing the Europa League trophy.
I think that the better thing for manchester united to resigned jose again. Jose has proven that if he is still being so useful for asroma even he is old enough now. I think that manchester united needs to consider signing a new coach.

This will give more benefit for manchester united at this moment compared to the defending ten hag to help club leave from its bad performance.

I think that ten hag will give no solution for this.

There are many things that must be improved within Manchester United to return to its glory days like the Ferguson era, one of which is appointing the right coach. The composition of players that Ten Hag currently has is very good for competing in the EPL and UCL, it's just that the potential that the players have is not shown optimally on the field, many say that Ten Hag has to change its strategy and approach with players, maybe that's the case. This will make the team performance better.

After the Ferguson era, Manchester United was no longer respected as a dominant club in the EPL, it was proven that The Red Devils had never won the Premier League title again. Maybe there is also some truth in what Jose Mourinho said in the past about United situation behind the scenes, and Pep Guardiola also said that they are not on the same page in terms of their vision and mission. Finally, it is possible that Ten Hag will also be fired or resign as United manager, if the team performance is unstable throughout the season.

They actually spent a lot of money for player transfers and for coach compensations because of sacking them. However, there are something wrong strategically in Manchester United as they spent money not for positions they need to improve most. They bought players are expensive costs that are like overpaid and their player transfer strategy is not consistently recent years. They self create chaos in their clubs and hope that a new coach can help them to fix all systematic problems.

This hope is unrealistic and this task is impossible for any coach. Need more example, another club that is similar to Manchester United is PSG. They once spent a lot of money failed to gain the success they wanted.

There is nothing wrong about spending a lot of money on players, but is just a matter of spending such an amount of money on the right and productive players, another issue with Manchester United, I think is the aspect of lack of coordination of the individual players among the team members. Also when signing a player you would look at the already existing players and also look at whether the incoming player will match with the players in the team, else a coach will end up signing a wasteful player and this is why you see some expensive players not do well when they are signed into a team because they are not suitable to that particular team, Using Eden Hazard for instance.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Zidane would have been a powerful manager for Manchester United. I feel like he's more result oriented than Erik Ten Hag who has not been delivering the club as much as it could have. Zidane would have done better really with the performance he has shown during the last season he had with Real Madrid. Calm and assertive. Intelligent and focused on the goal. Also a team player. Not as temperamental as Erik and can easily bring the aggrieved or aggressive players into play because at the end of the day what matters most is to be the winners.

That will never happen because in his interview a few moments ago, Zidane would never coach an English team because of the language barrier used and he also doesn't want to be in a team whose future is unclear. Zidane doesn't want his impressive record as a coach to be tarnished if he coaches Manchester United and that is definitely a consideration he has to make.

It looks like Manchester United will have to look for another coach and that's even if Manchester United no longer fully trusts Erik Ten Hag. However, Manchester United's current situation is not good and with a large list of injured players, this will certainly continue to corner Erik ten Hag and it is likely that this will not last much longer.

If a new manager takes over as head coach of Manchester United now, many of the current players would be dropped to the bench and new signings made.
A player like Rashford needs to regain form to even feature in the first eleven, as well as Anthony.
The squad sure needs a better manager and although Zidane would have been a good option, I think he would do better in development of french league football or somewhere in a Spanish team. He just can't have it learning how to speak English again and building a team from a place where politics and favorites get to be regular starters compared to talent and form.

The only question whether the money being spend was worth to the what will be given by the player. I meant look at what ten hag did. Spending 65 millions for mount then he was just a flop. Manchester united has been scammed by chelsea.
Chelsea looks very smart under pochettino right now. ten hag has been also wasting a lot of money since he was coming to the manchester united. How many times he was being involved against his own players.
Im concerning about the coach right now. It seems like that the coach cannot handling its club to perform before. Ten hag keeps waste resource to recruit useless players.

Paying compensation to sack him is far better rather than seeing manchester united keeps plunged even harder to the bottom at this moment. I see nothing wrong with it.
The club needs to be even harsh to its coach. Ten hag delivers nothing, and this is the fact. How unlucky manchester united is by getting him at this moment.

[nara1892]

In my opinion, Manchester united has not changed this season, in fact they have experienced a slight decline in starting the league this season, and it is not surprising because Manchester United itself has not really changed the team scheme while still retaining its old players, so it is not surprising that their performance has not changed either.
Maybe there will be an increase in team performance, but it will take a long time and many matches ahead for a coach to find a scheme that is suitable for a team with limited players.

If Manchester United wants to make significant changes this season with the player scheme and the way they play this season, the coach and the team as a whole must really care about this. Especially they have to take advantage of the transfer market when it opens again this season and also change the way they play slowly so that there are more significant changes for the team, because what Manchester United needs now is to win in every game that remains this season.

Yes, although Manchester United have managed to get a few wins in their last few Premier League matches but that's not the end of it, they still need a lot of adjustments in terms of balance to restore consistency in performance. I honestly don't know what Ten Hag will do but there is certainly no time for him to relax in the midst of a team that needs a lot of changes. Changing the scheme and tactics of play may be one of the actions that need to be taken, I hope Ten Hag will know what the real problem is with his squad. Yes as the transfer window reopens this season then it might be a good opportunity for Ten Hag to look for some candidates who can help in the change of his team, and also yes I think the main point is that somehow Ten Hag must change the game scheme, try some actions to restore the consistency of the squad. There are only a few games left towards the end of the season and I hope Manchester United will be able to climb back up at least into the top five of the table which is still pretty good.

[Roseline492]

I believe that's the only way they can escape this poor performance they are having, I think after buying some few strong players they should focus on buying some youngsters or develop the ones they have because football this time is mostly for the young because after developing them they will put in all there youthful skills and energy performing on the team because even the Arsenal team they invested more on there youngsters and now the club is reaping the fruit of there hard work.

So in as much as buying more good quality players for Manchester United is important they should also consider the room for youngsters.

Poor performance is essentially Manchester United's major concern; they should definitely undergo transformation this summer, signing players in the upcoming January transfer window, which will be one of the Red Devils' tenacious measures. Erik Ten Hag ought to restructure his team; that is how you win a game. Manchester United ought to concentrate on their club because their performance is atrocious and they have almost no matches against elite teams this season. Though they will face challenges on path to glory, and they will fight with their last strength.

I would say that if Manchester United's performance does not improve before the winter transfer window, United should first sack Erik ten Hag and hire a new coach. And then revamped their squad. In the previous transfer window, we saw that Ten Hag could not add the right players to the squad for Manchester United. He added young players like Hojlund to Skoda. And Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League this season. And so I don't think Ten Hag will be able to select the right players for the squad in the next transfer window. He will waste money. While Chelsea's performance has gradually improved, Manchester United's performance is still very poor.

The performance from manchester united never improved since ferguon had left from the club. The reason I believe Mourinho was the best choice as a coach for MU is because of his immense impact on the team's performance, leading them to come close to winning the EPL and securing the Europa League trophy.
I think that the better thing for manchester united to resigned jose again. Jose has proven that if he is still being so useful for asroma even he is old enough now. I think that manchester united needs to consider signing a new coach.

This will give more benefit for manchester united at this moment compared to the defending ten hag to help club leave from its bad performance.

I think that ten hag will give no solution for this.

That's true, the only time Manchester United had there best performance was in the time of Alex Ferguson he was the coach that singlehandedly brought Manchester United up and made them what they were known for in those days but it was quite unfortunate that after he retired there was know any other coach that could perform his role on Manchester United, that's why Manchester United have changed several coaches since he retired because no coach seem to understand the pattern of play of Manchester United.

But however a coach like Pep Guardiola can revive Manchester United to become strong in performance as they use to be.

[Oluwa-btc]

Recovery must be carried out as soon as possible. last season they ended the season well. but this season they are not performing well. 5 defeats in 12 matches, and they have conceded 16 times, and only scored 13 goals. Of course, there are problems, and the solution of changing the coach is what club management is most encouraged to do immediately.
If we continue to stick with Ten Hag, I don't think there will be many changes for MU until the end of the season. Even to catch the top 4 in the standings, I think they will have difficulty.

Actually The Glazer family was right to sign a bald coach, they thought they were sign Pep, but it turns they sign the another bald guy.

Manchester United can sign Antonio Conte since he's still free agent, if not they can get a better manager like Xabi Alonso or Vincent Kompany. Ten Hag is similar to David Moyes and Ole, all of them destroy Manchester United lol.

Antonio Conte has no plans right now to manage a club and even if he was, Manchester United would not want to get him hired. Antonio Conte is a coach that has no patience with younger players, he will want to work with developed players and I'm not sure Manchester United are ready for sure investment right now with Jim Radcliffe buy some percentage of Manchester United.

Yeah, bout playing like David Moyes and Ole Gunner Solskjaer, I donget vibes like that, so I had to stop watching Manchester United games entirely.
But looking back at how Erik Ten Hag did great last season, there's hope for him still doing a great job for the club.

[bering]

Tottenham as a host will play against Aston Villa later and i think this is interesting match because surprisingly Tottenham cannot last long to occupy first place even last week they have to lose against Wolves and Tottenham opponent Aston Villa has just gets different result because Aston Villa last week can able to beat Fulham at their home ground

One of the causes why Tottenham performance was decline because they losing some players especially James Maddison that this player has important role why Tottenham performance was so fantastic even without Kane but when Maddison got injured seems it greatly affects to the performance of Tottenham because they were suffering 2 losing streak without this player but Aston Villa away matches records also not quite good because they have been experienced 2 loses from away matches and probably Tottenham will realized these records and they can beat Aston Villa and return to winning ways

[$crypto$]

However, Manchester United's current situation is not good and with a large list of injured players, this will certainly continue to corner Erik ten Hag and it is likely that this will not last much longer.

Don't get your hopes up for Zidane because this man is still difficult to seduce any team to train him, he is still focused on his family and still hasn't thought about returning to work as a club coach, there are other things if he becomes the coach of Man United it will not be as easy as imagined Zidane will definitely find it difficult when he is at Man United, that's what I think.

It's not that I don't fully believe it, but due to several injured players, it makes it difficult for this team to be solid, of course in every team defeat, it is the coach who is blamed, not the player.
I think Erik Ten Hag will definitely be retained for several seasons and will not be fired in the near future.

Tottenham as a host will play against Aston Villa later and i think this is interesting match because surprisingly Tottenham cannot last long to occupy first place even last week they have to lose against Wolves and Tottenham opponent Aston Villa has just gets different result because Aston Villa last week can able to beat Fulham at their home ground

Because Tottenham is not a team that can be favored to win the Premier League after they last won it in 1960/1961 and were runners up in 2016/2017.

Against Aston Villa in the 13th match, I still doubt Tottenham will get full points. At least they will share points with Aston Villa.
If Tottenham suffer another defeat against Aston Villa, it will be 3 consecutive defeats.
It is natural and right for Kane to leave Tottenham to feel the euphoria of lifting a trophy in his career.

The new coach surely will do that sooner or later, to create a solid squad he has to do a lot of experiments, one of them is rebuilding key players for make improve their performance.
Of course, Manchester United must find the right head coach. But also this is not easy for them, because great coaches are really hard to approach at the moment, including Zidane. Maybe Manchester United can try to recruit Xabi, although he doesn't have much experience but at Leverkusen he can form a solid squad, but also Manchester United have to spend more money to recruit him.

Tottenham are in a bad condition now after the two consecutive defeats they suffered will certainly affect the mentality and confidence of this team, especially since they had to give up the top position of the standings to be taken by Manchester City and now Tottenham is even in 3rd place in the Premier League standings.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are in a good position now so this will be a difficult match for Tottenham to recover from.
I think the possibility of Aston Villa winning points in this match is very big even though this match will be played at Tottenham's home ground.

One of the causes why Tottenham performance was decline because they losing some players especially James Maddison that this player has important role why Tottenham performance was so fantastic even without Kane but when Maddison got injured seems it greatly affects to the performance of Tottenham because they were suffering 2 losing streak without this player but Aston Villa away matches records also not quite good because they have been experienced 2 loses from away matches and probably Tottenham will realized these records and they can beat Aston Villa and return to winning ways

Losing several players is not an excuse for a team like Tottenham, this team should be fairly evenly distributed in all sectors if there is rotation, if so I think Tottenham still doesn't deserve to compete fiercely in the race for the Premier League title this season.
Personally I believe Tottenham will struggle in this match and I think it would be very risky to bet on Tottenham winning.

Don't get your hopes up for Zidane because this man is still difficult to seduce any team to train him, he is still focused on his family and still hasn't thought about returning to work as a club coach, there are other things if he becomes the coach of Man United it will not be as easy as imagined Zidane will definitely find it difficult when he is at Man United, that's what I think.

It's true, this is a very big gamble in Zidane's coaching career if he coaches a team that is in a very poor state like Manchester United for a very long time.
I'm sure Zidane will not take on this very dangerous challenge, many coaches have coached Manchester United and failed, even experienced coaches like Jose Mourinho, let alone Zidane who has very little experience, he was only successful with the big Real Madrid team with players full of stars.

Tottenham this season has a big chance to win the Premier League trophy but unfortunately, Tottenham does not have substitute players who have good quality either. So ya, when many of Tottenham's key players couldn't play due to injuries and also received suspensions due to red cards. So Tottenham performance will also decline, because the second tier players cannot maintain good performance for Tottenham at this moment. So ya, it is natural that Tottenham is experiencing a decline in performance at this time, because Tottenham is experiencing problems that cannot be overcome quickly and well at this moment.

I wouldn't yet call it a big chance to win the Premier League. We just got to see how quickly things can turn around into the negative for them with two losses in a row. It all depends on whether or not they can continue where they stopped before their small losing streak. Otherwise there is no chance to come out on top against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. The Premier League is the toughest competition in Europe.

Tottenham have injured players and this will affect their performance in this match against Aston Villa, but they can stull try their best to share points than to allow Aston Villa win them. After Chelsea defeated them, they have not being able to win their previous match and it will be a big problem for them if they allow Aston Villa to defeat them.

On the other hand Aston Villa will be prepared for this match because they need to win the match as they have seen that Tottenham has been weak recently in winning matches and this can be an opportunity for them to also take advantage of Tottenham weakness to gain all three points if they can outperform them in the match, but I don't think that it will be that easy for Aston Villa because Tottenham might not give them that chance.

You're blaming the coaches of killing the fire in Manchester United when we know were all these problems originates from. Manchester United is an elite team that needs winnings and not some random average signings this season. Erik Ten Hag is the most criticized coach currently, when I knew Erik Ten Hag is a mediocre coach was when he made the statement in the press that Cristiano Ronaldo was the problem of the Red Devils, he has issues with Ronaldo and that force the Portugal international to exits Old Trafford. Forward to this present day, where is are the stats of the team?

It's a risk he takes as a coach, and he has to be prepared for all the criticism that comes his way.
Regarding his problems with Cristiano Ronaldo, I think we know how it is now, yes I can consider it a personal problem that ultimately enlarges and harms the team, maybe this is just a prediction because I don't know what the root of the problem is between these two people.

After experiencing 2 consecutive defeats which in the end had to make them shifted from the top of the standings, Tottenham must restore their confidence through this match. The problem is that the opponent they will face this time is also not an easy opponent for them to beat, as evidenced by the perch of Aston Villa in 5th place in the standings. Statistically during the Premier League this season, I don't see a significant difference between these two teams, so a draw is also likely to occur in their meeting.

Tottenham head coach Postecoglou reported a serious injury to midfielder Maddison. And most likely Maddison will not take part in the games until next year. The injury turned out to be much stronger than everything was clear before. Now there will be a replacement in the Spurs starting lineup...

Maddison injury is something that was not anticipated but the good thing is that it's not a long term and will be joining after a month. Another thing worrying for Postecoglou is that Maddison is not the only one injured, it's a long list and manager has limited no. of options. One injury more in these positions and manager has to play out someone else out of positions or change the formation and work some other tactics.

Of course, Manchester United must find the right head coach. But also this is not easy for them, because great coaches are really hard to approach at the moment, including Zidane. Maybe Manchester United can try to recruit Xabi, although he doesn't have much experience but at Leverkusen he can form a solid squad, but also Manchester United have to spend more money to recruit him.

I don't think new Coach will do anything better than Ten Hag has done so far. all coaches after Ferguson and before Ten Hag had tried their best for Manchester United, but they all failed, including Jose Mourinho. this proves that situation at Manchester United is not about the coach / management, but this is club's problem as whole, especially the environment around the team that no positive impact towards the players. it's like we find bad news from a player every season after season. Manchester United need to find a right way to change like how Tottenham have been doing so far. for now, the togetherness and the team character are much more important than the quality of the players.

[sana54210]

Manchester United rank in Premier League is not too bad and they can climb up more in rest of season. The season is long and they have enough time to do this task but with their very unstable performances and sometimes very bad, this task is not easy to achieve for Manchester United players.

Yes there sixth position on the premier League table is not too bad because the game is still far and the possibility of Manchester United to climb is still higher because I have seen other teams who are in number six on most table and latter club up because there improvement on performance.

So I believe that if Manchester United will seat up on there remaining matches by wining them there would be a higher chance for them to improve on the premier League table but however no matter how much they try they can never get to the second position on the premier league table.

People are overreacting to their losses, that is the issue. I think sixth position is not bad and I think they have proper chance of being in the top four this season as well. I really do not expect Spurs to keep this up, and that means the only teams that I can see above United 100% guaranteed are City and Arsenal, there is a very valid possibility that this United team could end up third by the end of the season and if not at least fourth which would be fine for them. I get that it may not be all that easy, but it could definitely work out in the end.

I hope that we could make profit with their climb up as well, because I like betting on them, people do not expect much from them so the odds are always great, for a team that is sixth, they get odds like 13th or something, like it would be unlikely for them to win.
