Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Falconer]

-snip-

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

In the end, Ten Hag has answered many doubts from all Manchester United fans about what he can do in the Champions League. Ten Hag has failed to live up to the high hopes of fans who wanted him to qualify for the round of 16 or qualify for the Europa League, but all that failed because Bayern Munich didn't really want to be beaten.

The team's performance in the Premier League is also poor and Manchester United has still failed to prove itself as a team worthy of competing for the title. Ten Hag has fallen under a lot of pressure and may find appropriate consequences for that, a sacking or ending the deal may be on the cards if the team's form this season does not improve. Giving him full trust throughout the season is an optional option, but sacking him would probably cost Manchester United compensation.

The coach is the person most responsible for everything that happens to the Manchester United team at the moment.
I even highlighted the poor performance of the Manchester United team on all fronts and it is inversely proportional if we look at the quality in this squad so it is clear that Ten Hag is the one who is to blame here.
There is no other possibility and way for Manchester United other than to reshuffle this squad, and in my opinion Ten Hag should be fired from the Manchester United coaching chair because he has really failed to manage the Manchester United team.

Now Ten Hag's fate is hanging in the balance after Man United's performance continues to decline. Man United stumbled in the Premier League and failed miserably in the Champions League. Ten Hag's brilliant achievements at Ajax apparently failed to continue with Man United.

If Man United's performance gets even worse, it is not impossible that Erik Tag will be fired, and Erik Tag Hag's challenge will be tested again next week in the EPL league continuation, they will play against Liverpool. If this match Man United is slaughtered by Liverpool, maybe Erik Tag's fate will expire.

Because a great coach not only creates a solid playing system, but must also be able to solve internal problems and recruit the right players. And he must be able to lift the spirits of the players when they are down.

Manchester United are really crying for help these days.

Manchester United are crying for a new coach and i wonder when the board will work in that direction and fix it well. The Manchester United plays without tactics, no style of play, no build up plans or any attacking intents at all.

What Manchester United is a better coach not that tactical fraud lol. This weekend, they face Liverpool; another demolition in sight.

How many coaches has Manchester United hired since the retirement of Alex Ferguson? Sometimes I think the problem of Manchester United is bigger than coaches alone. So when people say Ten Hag should be fired I laugh. Let him stay and finish the season that's my opinion.

Manchester United are yet to find a coach who will help the club go back to their glory days. Erik Ten Hag could have helped build Manchester United back to winning ways, but he made a mistake by letting Dave de Gea leave Manchester United which is affecting Manchester United's not to win some of their matches because Onana keeps on making errors.

With the consistency that Liverpool has built this season, it is very clear that it will be a real obstacle for its competitors, especially for Manchester City, which is currently starting to have a gap with Liverpool in terms of points. So it is very possible for Manchester City to experience difficulties this season and will not be able to repeat the success they achieved last season this season. But Liverpool must also be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season if they want to make Manchester City continue to experience difficulties.

Liverpool has so far been formidable both in the premier league and the Europa league where they're playing brilliantly, they appear to be in a very good form and other contenders in the premier league may have to improve very well if they must be able to be ahead of Liverpool especially Manchester city which happens to be one of the biggest contender this season.

Manchester city currently experiencing difficulty isn't enough to assume they will not be able to make a good contender this season because it very possible they get back on their feet before the season ends moreover we still have some good time before the season ends, so it's still possible Manchester city turns out better again ,and Liverpool will definitely need to maintain their consistency if they must get to the to quickly and be able to maintain the top spot when they finally get their, Liverpool could win both the Europa and premier league aswell if the work harder.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I don't think, James injury is the caused of the defeat Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 last match because if you look at their position currently in the premier league table you will know that they are not good in this season and it will take them some seasons before their new manager can improve the team to be like Manchester city. James is an old player in Chelsea and he knows how to handle the midfield very well for their strikers to have effective performance in the front to achieve a good results at the end of the match. I believe Chelsea manager will do everything possible within his capacity to ensure James recover on time, because the players on bench cannot handle the midfield very well like the way James is handling the Chelsea midfield.

It was not Reece James' pure fault but as a player of course he will regret leaving his club for a while in the situation Chelsea is in now.
Chelsea currently still really need the figure of several experienced players, especially in the EPL and Reece James is one of them.
The injury he is currently experiencing is still the same as before and indeed this is a recurring injury that Reece James has and indirectly this could have changed Chelsea's current performance which made him regret it.
Indeed, there are still several players who can eventually replace Reece James as a defender but on the other hand, this could still disrupt Chelsea and they could return to their clown form.

[Wiwo]

It will be hard for Manchester City to repeat what they did in the Premier League last season because Kevin De Bruyne will be with the Manchester City squad for the long term and it is affecting Manchester City's performance. Liverpool is the real threat to Manchester City this season, Liverpool will want to be at the top of the Premier League till the season ends.

With the consistency that Liverpool has built this season, it is very clear that it will be a real obstacle for its competitors, especially for Manchester City, which is currently starting to have a gap with Liverpool in terms of points. So it is very possible for Manchester City to experience difficulties this season and will not be able to repeat the success they achieved last season this season. But Liverpool must also be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season if they want to make Manchester City continue to experience difficulties.

With Liverpool's two seasons of experience,  it becomes clear to the club that there is need for up to days performance and keeping up with recent and current status quo which is to maintain a point that will place the at a better advantage over their competitor in this season and haven't seen his Liverpool have managed to score their point in this season even to the point of defending their current position against the defending title holder Manchester city who have not really being doing well in this season is something to really look out for for the next few matches which will determine which position both clubs will end the season.

But for sure,  Liverpool seems to be in a better formation in this season compared to Manchester City,  but then we shouldn't take that as a guarantee that Liverpool will continue to dominate the leagues in this season and Manchester City will be unable to reposition and take over they lost glory already which is something that both clubs have been working for or against since the season begins some time ago.

[Belarge]

I have never seen in the media that there is talk of Ten Hag resignation, I think it's more the fans' wish, which by the way the club management doesn't hear and probably doesn't want to hear since he is still in office. But even if they win the match with Liverpool, they can lose another, the next match, so I think it is not an indicator and not a reason to sack the coach

Erik Ten Hag might resigned from his position as headcoach this season after facing challenges weigh bigger than his capacity this season. Manchester united have lost quite relevant points in matches and they got eliminated from the UEFA Champions League last night against Bayern Munich. I would say the problem of the Red Devils originates from the players and the Glazers who happen to be the owners. The coach on othe hand is also making mistakes, making wrong signings. Two straight defeats in a row and now they will face Liverpool this weekend at Anfield stadium, clearly bad news for the Red Devils.

When Erik ten Hag took over as the Manchester United manager, he inherited a team that was in a difficult situation. The team was struggling to perform, and morale was low. However, Ten Hag managed to turn things around and save Manchester United from a potential disaster. Despite his initial success, Manchester United has been going through a rough patch lately, and their performance has been disappointing. This has led to speculation that Ten Hag's position is under threat, and there are talks of replacing him with a new coach.
While it's important for a team to have a coach who can deliver results, it's also crucial to show respect for the hard work and dedication that Ten Hag has put into the team. Moreover, finding a new coach does not guarantee better results. The team will have to weigh their options carefully and consider all factors before making any decisions about the future of the club.

I don't have anything to sag about Manchester United performance in the Champions League, they are no longer in my book of serious team, because even the bottom team in the table will be going to knockout stage and one will be going to Europa playoff and Manchester United is no where to be found again. Looking at the state of the club, I will say they are nothing but exactly opposite of what Liverpool did last season. They qualified to the Champions League but didn't go far but weren't doing well in the Premier League.

If he has a contract of 3 years with Manchester United board and promised that within these 3 years, he was going to win atleast 1 Premier League cup to the club and at the end, he couldn't meet up with the target, trust me will be sack and replace but now that we are in the mid way, it might not happen now until towards the end of next year. This is nt official, but I'm just saying what mag happen to him if he doesn't get the team to top 4 before the end of the season.

The coach is making wrong signings and the coach is making the wrong decisions all the time. He is not a part of the team, it seems as if ten Hag is an enemy of the team. He now publicly explained that the team is not good enough from what I understood. I did not see the whole interview, but I wonder if he was also critical with himself or if he blamed the players only. Manchester United only occasionally played acceptable ever since he took over the coaching position. In my opinion the players could be playing better if their instructions are more goal-oriented and the coach is a part of the team as I said.

Ten hag should be Hold responsible for the bad performance of Manchester United,  Manchester United performance have been very poor since the beginning of the season.  I think ten hag is not cool with some of the players maybe,  and it is really affecting the team. Manchester United and ten hag needs  to try their best to gather up points because if Manchester united continues with a performance like this they may likely end up in the relegation zone or close to the relegation zone.

In the recent match between Chelsea and Everton, where Chelsea faced a defeat, there's a bit of uncertainty about whether James' injury was the main reason for Chelsea's loss. However, let's consider another perspective – perhaps Everton is just performing exceptionally well lately. If you take a look at Everton's recent games, they've been on fire. Out of the last eight matches, they only lost one to Manchester United and had a draw in another.

It’s unfair to blame Chelsea’s defeat on James as no one ever plans to be injured, it is a natural something but I would blame the medical staffs regarding James injury and some other injuries in the team, they seem to be doing a terrible job and it could be why James have been getting injured more often. I think Chelsea’s loss was due to the overall team performance and not just because a player is missing out, Chelsea have been poor in recent games and Everton have been performing well that’s why they won the match. I don’t know what’s happening to Chelsea but they need to step up their game else they could find themselves in the relegation zone.

James is a crucial player that adds quality to the team but he is not yet fully fit and I will suggest he opts for the surgery so he can fully recover and help the team as usual. I think the problem with Chelsea is from the dressing room and they better resolve it fast so we can start seeing the Chelsea that played against Manchester City and Arsenal again.

[QueenVera]

Beyond this defeat we have Chelsea and Manchester United on same level in this season even Manchester United is above in rank but these both big clubs are having too many issues which are hurting them badly for having better results and just because of this things are going worst every day.

Everton doing decent job in this season but sadly due to deduction of points we have them at the bottom otherwise surely their ranks are 9th or 10th which make them better than Chelsea and with this it's not case James was injured so just because of this Chelsea lost they are regrouping themselves, and it's not working with needs more time for having better results.

Here we need to check this all happening just because of injury of this player or overall team performance is also not good, it's more important, and then we can realize how things are going here for this match and season.

Chelsea and Manchester United are currently having similar issues; one needs players and the other needs both players, coach and luck to get back to winning ways and this is one bizarre thing as they’re both among EPL’s top 6 but with this kind of performance I don’t see both teams going close to the UCL next season, cause both teams have become a shadow of themselves.

Everton are currently a better team than Chelsea even with the points deduction; they’ve defeated Newcastle and Chelsea yes you could term it motivation from the deduction but this should be a warning signal to Chelsea, their week in week out lost most of her players to injury or cards and these gives chance for rotation and while rotating, the cohesion isn’t there which could be a factor to their falter.

[Mayor of ogba]

This is bad news for Chelsea’s coach and the entire team. Reece James is a very great player in the team that Chelsea need in this their trying times but his injury has become a pain in the neck for him for some time now. This player has been playing great but he have now started becoming an injury prone player because of how often he gets injured now. If things doesn’t change for good, Chelsea will one day want to sell him and have a replacement without having injuries that will last a long time or a player susceptible to injury more often.

The long term injury to Reece James is bad news for Chelsea right now. He is expected to return back in February to match, but he will miss a lot of Chelsea games. I've heard rumors that Real Madrid is interested in buying James, but I don't think that will happen again because of his injuries. Reece James is still a key player for Chelsea, so I don't think they will decide to sell him to replace another player. As we all know, Chelsea can acquire any player without having to sell current players.

Some Manchester United fans are saying Harry Kane would have been a better choice than Hojlund but to me I don't see it that way, Man UTD don't have what it takes to feed the England number 9 to get goals for the club.
 They lack maturity in that team, everyone on the Red devils team are feeling too big and it won't make any difference if Harry Kane was a United player, that individual play will still continue and it won't have worked out well the way we are seeing Kane banging goals for Bayern because at Manchester United the services are not there.
 I don't even see Manchester United getting a comfortable game against Liverpool this weekend, it would be another disappointing fixture for them and Klopp would make sure he gets all 3 points.

If Harry Kane were to join Manchester United, he would still have to face the same issues that Hojlund is currently facing. While at Bayern Munich, Kane had incredible players who worked hard to help him score goals, but since Hojlund joined Manchester United, he has only scored goals in the Champions League. When Hojlund first arrived, some people compared him to Erling Haaland, another goal scorer who had arrived in the Premier League, given the way he struggled to score. In particular, Rashford didn't want to assist anyone and wanted to score on his own, Bruno will also miss their next match against Liverpool, of course that will really be another disappointment.

I disagree with this, Harry Kane couldn't have struggled to score goals for Manchester United in the Premier League, because Harry Kane is used to the Premier League and could score goals for any club he plays for. Harry Kane is a striker who likes to hustle to score goals, even when his club is not performing well.

It may sound unfair, but injuries to key players have destabilized Chelsea's form. The same thing happened to Manchester City this season, their performance was unstable because several players were injured or when their best midfielder was absent.

Player injuries are a problem that is very likely to cause a team's performance to drop and cause them to lose a lot of points. Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City have experienced it this season, but Tottenham and Manchester City can certainly still be expected compared to Chelsea and Manchester United. Chelsea has been too bad this season even though Pochettino has made some differences, but Chelsea hasn't changed much.

Two straight defeats in a row and now they will face Liverpool this weekend at Anfield stadium, clearly bad news for the Red Devils.

Some time ago we saw some statements from officials even from SAF who still believed Ten Hag and would continue to maintain Ten Hag's position as coach but indeed with the current situation, especially the defeat and not being able to qualify for the next phase in the Champions League, it seems that this could be some difference in Ten Hag's consideration as coach.

Now until the end of the season surely Manchester United will continue to keep Ten Hag but when the situation turns worse than today and in the EPL Ten Hag cannot do much then it is not impossible for him to be forced to resign from his position as coach at this time.

I don't trust Tottenham just yet, they have a habit of mounting a big challenge against big teams like Manchester City only to lose points to weaker contenders. Regardless, kudos to them on getting those 3 points against Newcastle, which also seems to be a very unstable team lately.

Yes, it cannot be denied that their inconsistency in each match is quite bad and really affects the results of their matches. several times they even wasted opportunities to win against several middle-class clubs. But it's true what you said, they are quite enthusiastic when playing against a big group. This inconsistency is what often makes Tottenham fail.

It is very difficult to analyze Man United, why since there is no more SAF until now Man United is not as strong as before, how many coaches have been replaced by Man United but have never been able to get back up. Now many People say "Old Trafford is not a good place for opponents" But now, it's the best place for opponents to get Free 3 points on every visit.

The question isn't whether to fire him, I think it's just a matter of time. Besides, if you fire him, who is the suitable replacement to coach Man United? Gamble with Roy Keane who doesn't have a record yet? The experiments of former players like Gerrard or Lampard clearly did not work. Guardiola, Klopp, Xabi Alonso, Ancelotti or Nagelsmann are all not available. This is even worse. Man United is in serious trouble, in fact, whoever the coach is, it is difficult for them to recover.

There's not a single sector of Manchester United that is doing well. Ten Hag just happens to be the most obvious one. In my opinion, he should be fired by the club because waiting for him to resign is a waste of time, it won't happen. Manchester United better not make the same mistake Chelsea made last season by leaving Potter till there was no hope of winning any trophy before firing him.

Firing a coach is expensive though because you have to pay him off but it's the best decision. If a new manager comes in and Manchester United starts playing well and winning they might have a chance to win other trophies like the FA Cup or Carabao Cup. Even if they don't win, they'll be able to compete for those trophies if they have the right manager.

[Issa56]

Manchester United are yet to find a coach who will help the club go back to their glory days. Erik Ten Hag could have helped build Manchester United back to winning ways, but he made a mistake by letting Dave de Gea leave Manchester United which is affecting Manchester United's not to win some of their matches because Onana keeps on making errors.

Manchester United's problem is not only the goalkeeper, don't you see that Manchester United's defense is also very weak, which is always easy for opponents to penetrate, and they also have a horrible goalkeeper. We all have seen the errors Onana has been making since he was signed by Manchester United, but we shouldn't blame the goalkeeper alone, the defense is also weak. We all now know the value of Ge Dea. Ten Hag made a great mistake by letting De Gea leave the club. We can all see that De Gea's performance is better than Onana's. De Gea should have just been taken as the second goalkeeper. Now that Onana is not performing up to everyone's expectations, they will have just fallen back to De Gea. But ten Hag chased De Gea away, which is one of the mistakes he made. If not for Onana's poor performance, Manchester United would not have conceded the number of goals they have conceded this season.
