Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[imamusma]

Lol I actually confused who's Harry Potter which people are discussing, it turns out "Graham Potter".

This is really a bad news, if Potter will really join Manchester United, we can expect Manchester United will relegated and play in second league.

It's better to have Ten Hag than Potter, but it's better to sack Ten Hag for the recent worst result.

Hahaha Two names that are almost the same as Potter. Lol

Graham Potter failed when he was with Chelsea and at that time he was provided with the players he wanted and still Chelsea slumped, what would happen if Man United recruited him? Isn't there a coach who is more commendable? This is just my view but the management might rate Graham Potter better than Erik Ten Hag. 

Just think back Erik Ten Hag is bad in the current season while last season managed to finish quite well by winning another trophy, but the defeats that continue to occur make the management can't stand it.

One of the most reasonable reasons why Manchester United management is still retaining Ten Hag is because there is no suitable figure to replace the managerial role in the future. Apart from that, maybe the management and club officials are considering the amount of compensation that must be paid if they fire Ten Hag, but what can you do if in the end that is the best way to take to save the club from going down.

The Graham Potter that is being presented by the media is not the right figure, in fact he could do worse than what Ten Hag is currently doing. Many wild issues developed after United failed to advance to the last 16, but all decisions will be influenced by United's next few matches. The match against Liverpool will be a reference, if they are humiliated again then the fans urge to fire Ten Hag will continue to increase.

As for Liverpool against Manchester United, the favourite team to win the game is Liverpool, and I have much faith in that, especially when it is Liverpool that is hosting the game. It is always very hard to defeat Liverpool in Anfield, so with Manchester United's weak performances, I have more confidence in Liverpool to win the game, but if Liverpool is not lucky, the game can lead to a draw, but I can't say Manchester United can win the game.

If Liverpool should draw with Manchester United, they know what's at stake for them in the Premier League table. A draw with Manchester United indicates that they wish to give up ground to Arsenal to stay above them, as Arsenal will undoubtedly win at home against Brighton. Therefore, regardless of how defensively Manchester United plays, Liverpool will make every effort to defeat Manchester United to maintain their recent top position in the Premier League standings.

Liverpool still has a better chance against Manchester United and this is no way anyone can compare both clubs in this season because Liverpool has won more matches than Manchester United and also much more so is the fact that Liverpool has more powerful players in the team and this is why it has shown in most of their matches for this season compared to what we have seen with Manchester united,  and for that there is no way a draw between Liverpool vs Manchester united will be near impossible and one club must win the match and in this game,  I predict a winning for Liverpool and not a draw game prediction as the comment above reflects.

Manchester United is heavily linked with Harry Potter as Erik Ten Hag's replacement. For me, instead of Harry Potter replacing Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United owners should allow Erik Ten Hag to end the Premier League season with Manchester United to give Manchester United management enough room to get a better coach as Erik Ten Hag's replacement.

What is Potter going to do for Manchester United right now? If they can sign Potter, I don’t think their Manchester United performance is going to improve, rather,  it’s going to get worse. Manchester United should just maintain ten hag till the end of the season, just as you said, changing coaches won't make any serious positive impact on the team's performance. They shouldn't be in a rush to sign a new coach, they should just keep on making use of ten hag, and they should take their time to get a better coach. If Potter replaces ten hag, then it won’t be long before they will need another coach because they might not get what they need from him.

Yes indeed, there seems to be no chance for Manchester United to win because ya, I think at this moment that Manchester United do not have good quality . Of course, the trends of Manchester United and Liverpool at this moment are clearly very different, so I personally still believe Liverpool will have a good chance to beat Manchester United in this match.

After all, Liverpool also still have to focus and be consistent to keep getting three points because ya,if Liverpool fail to get three points then ofcourse their position is still easy to take over . So ya, if Liverpool focus on succeeding this season to win the Premier League trophy then of course, Liverpool will continue to do their best and as much as possible to keep winning in every match in this Premier League.

Bringing in a new coach will not solved the current problem of Manchester United, perhapes there are certain essential things to be put into place. Manchester United are in pretty bad shape this season, losing to both elite and average clubs does pose an interesting facts about the club. Regardingg the news of the board in search of a new coach, there are specific measures adjourned to that sector and I perceive it to be false news in the system. This is mere football transfer rumors and we have to be more careful regarding the news we have heard when dealing with the system.

Manchester United haven't performed well this season so I don't think they can beat Liverpool in their next match. Liverpool has performed well this season and is very difficult to stop, in fact Liverpool is still much better than the defending champion team.

Manchester United have lost 7 of their 16 matches, so even though they have the opportunity to win the match against Liverpool, Manchester United is at a different level of play. Moreover, Liverpool is playing at home against Manchester United, so the probability of Liverpool winning will certainly be much higher than Manchester United.

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

Everton has become a club to pay close attention to in this season from their performance in recent games,  this has placed them in a better position to stand against any other stronger club without any fear and there is no way that we can compare Chelsea vs Everton for the season and just as you pointed out,  Chelsea have lost some of it key players to injury and some of the other factors that have been affecting Chelsea I internally since the last couple of a few seasons back.

But then this is football and we can't outrightly write off any club and for that, we must also check out possibilities that can play out and make Chelsea have luck and possibly come out with better results in the next couple of games ahead.

Before they signed contract agreement with Erik Ten Hag, he was told not sign up for em that they're no football club. Louis Van Gaal said these words to Erik Ten Hag and to the media but he choose to regardless. Infact, Manchester United management, have sacked three to four managers and the only good and better of them all they want to sack further? Embarrassing news.

What has Graham Potter gotten to offer the club? Manchester United has seen more improvement since Erik Ten Hag bwas signed, they've just struggled this season. Graham Potter who messed up with Chelsea is been linked with Manchester United? How do they even think? When was the last time a British manager or coach win the Premier League? They have nothing to offer. Graham Potter is a scumbag he deserves a club like Nothingham Forest not Manchester United! Jesus Christ!!!

When the season started, no one will or tipped Everton as a club to compete for any tangible thing this season. Everton is known for being able to fight and defeat relegation and that is exactly where everyone is expecting them to be. But surprisingly amidst the sanction, Everton is motivated and surprisingly winning teams. Their win against Newcastle United and  Chelsea FC is a signal that shouldn't be undersighted.

Talking about comparing Everton to Chelsea, I understand and agree that Chelsea is a bigger team. But for this season with this two weeks good performance of Everton, it seems Everton is more consistent that Chelsea this season.

Truly the odds favours Liverpool winning against Man Utd this weekend, however premier league is unpredictable especially when two big teams are playing, its obvious that Man Utd performances had dwindled having lost two consecutive matches both in the league and UCL, however we shouldn't be surprise to watch the team.play brilliantly well against Liverpool at Anfield because I am very sure their manager knew that his job is at stake and might face a possible sack thus there wouldn't be any room for complacency in that match a positive result from the outcome of the match would definitely ease off some pressure on their manager and the player, personally as an Arsenal fan I am fully in support of Man Utd to win the match  to enable my club clinch the first position.

Everton is still very far from Chelsea's current position in the EPL table, and for me personally, i do not think it makes sense to already consider Everton to be more consistent than Chelsea simply judging from their performance in the last two weeks, there are several other clubs in the EPL this season that have had incredible performances in the beginning of this season and right now are struggling to even score goals and keep up with their position from the start of the season.
Talk about clubs like Manchester city, Tottenham, Manchester united. Arsenal is actually one club that has continued to maintain their standing as far as i know and have followed the EPL from the beginning, and that is the second place, even though they have made several attempts to take the first position, but they always fall back to the second place.

This is what i personally think though, atleast, based on all that i have observed.

[lizarder]

It's true that Erik ten hag has really performed so badly at old Trafford especially this season but then Potter isn't a good option for replacement of Erik ten hag if Manchester united wants to get a trophy by the end of this season, except other wise because Potter's approach is not such that can give desired results in a short period of time.

Talking about time I think Ten hag doesn't need any time rather he needs to be relieved if his job, before now he had all the time but was unable to perform as expected of him, in his first season in Manchester united he did pretty well but this season has been his worse and it doesn't seem like he was even willing to make necessary adjustments, sacking him is very much needed if Manchester united will get something out of the league this season but potter isn't a good replacement because he isn't smart enough he ma even need more time to help Manchester united get back fully on their feet.

Erik Ten Hak continues to be forced to produce positive results in every match, but we forget the number of selfish players he currently has which have had quite a big impact. For me, there are a number of problems within Man United and it's not just about Erik Ten Hak, Erik Ten Hak's mistake may only be in placing trust in the players and even though he made big mistakes he still provides opportunities to play.

If asked who was most responsible for Man United's failure in the Champions League, I would answer Onana because he made many blunders which resulted in Man United only being able to score one win in the group phase. The level of creativity of the players is also quite questionable because of the 11 players he fielded, none of them were able to play above average ability and the level of the players was quite boring.

We agree, United's real problem is not their coach. We even know how Ten Hag was able to bring his squad to a top four finish last season. Supposedly, the addition of several players they brought in could improve their performance this season. Unfortunately, Mason Mount cannot be relied on and at the same time he has suffered a long injury. As for Onana, the goalkeeper actually played quite well. Unfortunately, he often makes blunders. apart from that, there are many players who are suffering from injuries plus other problems. and the most important point, United did not have good cooperation during the match.  So, Ten Hag had a lot of homework to do. Referring to what you said, bringing in a new coach will not solve the problem and that is absolutely right. We have seen Ten Hag's real work last season, this season has been unlucky for him with various problems in the United camp. If, United are serious about sacking Ten Hag and his replacement coach is a coach of unknown reputation. So, don't blame this team, it will get worse. Let's see what the next developments are regarding Ten Hag, plus the match against Liverpool.

The thrilling victory of Everton against Chelsea was deserving at Goodison Park. They secured their points and now they will have to battle for upcoming matches. Atleast Sean Dyche mind and that of the fans is currently settled because they're out of the relegation zone and moving to more comfortable positions. The Toffees moved go 17th position on EPL table and this time, they're probably ensuring they make uplifting performance in upcoming matches. Everton have gotten the morale they need to boosts their performance in upcoming matches.

The competition at the top of the standings is quite tight with a very small point difference, Liverpool will try to maintain their position by securing full points when facing Man United. On paper, Liverpool is very profitable, because they play in front of their own supporters, and statistically they are also better. Apart from that, Jurgen Klopp squad can take advantage of United situation which is experiencing shock and pressure.

There is indeed a chance for United to secure full points too, but few people would dare bet on them winning this time. United could put up a fierce fight, because we have also seen the disease they have suffered this season, namely when they play against other big teams their performance is very promising.

Defeat means losing points, and if that happens it will not only be Arsenal who will overtake Liverpool position in the standings. Aston Villa and Man City are very ready to do this, of course on the condition that they have to win their respective matches. After being knocked out of the UCL and failing to advance to the Europa League, now United is only focused on the EPL and has the ambition to get into the UCL zone at the end of the season, failure against Liverpool will bring Ten Hag closer to the Old Trafford exit, and Klopp and his squad will not hesitate to do that.

For me, instead of Harry Potter replacing Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United owners should allow Erik Ten Hag to end the Premier League season with Manchester United to give Manchester United management enough room to get a better coach as Erik Ten Hag's replacement.

What is Potter going to do for Manchester United right now? If they can sign Potter, I don’t think their Manchester United performance is going to improve, rather,  it’s going to get worse. Manchester United should just maintain ten hag till the end of the season, just as you said, changing coaches won't make any serious positive impact on the team's performance. They shouldn't be in a rush to sign a new coach, they should just keep on making use of ten hag, and they should take their time to get a better coach. If Potter replaces ten hag, then it won’t be long before they will need another coach because they might not get what they need from him.

Graham Potter is another version of Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United management should look for a coach who has experience in managing big clubs and the Uefa Champions League experience. Manchester United will struggle more if they sign Graham Potter as coach.

Therefore, regardless of how defensively Manchester United plays, Liverpool will make every effort to defeat Manchester United to maintain their recent top position in the Premier League standings.

Don't worry, Liverpool have improved this season. Manchester United is not ready to win the match against Liverpool and I believe that considering the inconsistency of their performance. Ten Hag seems to have lost a lot of confidence in winning big games, so I don't think he can do much when he comes to Anfield.

We'll see the proof later, but if Manchester United is able to steal points from Liverpool at Anfield then Liverpool will lose their top position which will be taken by Arsenal. A draw is still possible to consider in the Liverpool vs Manchester United match, but I think the risk is too big.

Let's see what the next developments are regarding Ten Hag, plus the match against Liverpool.

A team performance can perform better based on the way the coach sets a good strategy in each match and what happened at Manchester united was not the case because Erik ten hag failed to organize Manchester united game scheme to become stronger this season. Erik Ten Hag deserves to be blamed because he failed to bring Manchester United to the last 16 of the Champions League this season. Even Erik Ten Hag doesn't get along with their own players like Sancho, Even though if you look at Manchester United performance, of course they need support from Sancho this season, but Erik Ten Hag has kicked him out of the team.

I think the coach is the first to be blamed for their failure in the Champions League. He proved unable to bring Manchester United to beat their opponents in the Champions League and did not even have the opportunity to join the European League because Manchester united finished in 4th place. There is no hope for Manchester United to win a trophy this season because they have been eliminated in the Champions League and did not join  with the European League.

[QueenVera]

Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the English Premier League and there's no doubt that they're capable of beating any side in the league when they play at their best but considering what we've seen from them this season, I think they don't stand a chance of getting any result from their game against current league leaders Liverpool this season.

Playing as an away club at Anfield stadium is one of the worrying moments for any club in the English Premier League because whenever Liverpool is playing at home in front of their usual exploding fans, they  tend to be unplayable. Last season, Liverpool had a bad campaign but are trying to make up for their shortcomings by winning a major title this season and winning the English Premier League is the top of their priorities this season. Liverpool are currently leading in the league table and knows how important every win can be to further strengthen their quest to claim the English Premier League title once again so that's why I think they'll surely be playing at their best against Manchester United this weekend and I don't expect Manchester United to be strong enough to stop them from winning that game.

The game against Liverpool is more like one that would be full of lots of fun and one the fans already don’t have much a expectation from, If you check the United current form, and squad you’ll see they stand no chance against league leaders, Liverpool and from their run of form you’ll see they stand no chance against this Liverpool side,cause they'll even be playing without alot of their senior players.

 Now United in their poor form, will be playing in a fortress, Anfield and this is one ground that’s not an in form football club will want to play at. Liverpool are chasing a title this season, and Manchester United are not up to a match to stand their way, I feel they'll still get embarrassed at Anfield like the previous season when they were beaten 7-0, that was disastrous.

One of the most reasonable reasons why Manchester United management is still retaining Ten Hag is because there is no suitable figure to replace the managerial role in the future. Apart from that, maybe the management and club officials are considering the amount of compensation that must be paid if they fire Ten Hag, but what can you do if in the end that is the best way to take to save the club from going down.

I'm sure there is, but the problem is that there aren't many experienced coaches willing to coach Manchester United because they know that there is a lot of pressure that they probably won't be able to overcome. Look at how many competent coaches have left Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, what that means, the internal team and many other things are definitely not fine instead it is just a matter of team performance.

Manchester United will find the right coach if the team gets better internally. This is just logic and maybe some previous coaches already knew what the situation was. Mourinho once served as Manchester United coach, but what he got there was failure.
