Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JoyMarsha]

Man Utd are a low quality team, they put everybody behind the ball at Anfield. It’s a tactic that relegation battlers employ. Liverpool weren’t at their best but still far more likely to win than Man Utd.

We can go on to say that Manchester United's performance is bad but they were able to stop Liverpool three straight wins to a draw. That's commendable of them because nobody thought that the Liverpool team which is in its best form can't possibly break Manchester United's defense by scoring a single goal against Manchester United after playing at home.
What Ten Hag needs to work on in Manchester United, is to fix their defense and frontline. And they will bounce back

Things are just getting worse for Manchester City in time. They lost points in another match and they were able to win only one time in their last five matches in the Premier League. This is a serious problem for their championship chance this season as well. Because while they are this bad the teams above them are benefiting from this situation nicely.

De Bruyne is said to be back from his lasting injury finally. This is really good news for Manchester City as he has been one of the most critical players for the team. Let's see how much impact he will make from now on.  

Manchester City might no make it to significant positions on the EPL table this season, because watching their performance in matches, they're crumbling and that's contrary to the City we have witnessed in the past decades. Pep Guardiola have no options than work on his club and ensure he fixed his issues within the estimated period only if he values for the improvement of his outstanding squad. I believe the club's lacks the presence of Kelvin De Bruyne, we know how valuable he is and how he has growned to become a very key part in Pep Guardiola project for Manchester City.

We must improve vs Arsenal at the weekend but there will be more space to play as Arsenal don’t park the bus.

The right words were used here haha. Manchester united is a poorly coached low quality side; majority of the players are not world class and the coach is terrible at his job too; underusing the players and failing to get the best of the squads. Embarassed out of the carabao cup and champions league too.

An humbling against West Ham in london and a sack to ten hag will make many fans excited tbh

Liverpool didn't expect their match with Manchester United at Anfield would end as a draw match because of Manchester United's low performance this season, and they won Manchester United heavily last season at Anfield.

Manchester United knew that if they came out to attack in that game they were going to lose, thus Ten Hag had to respect Liverpool and set up to defend for most of the game. It was not a bad result for both sides, but Liverpool would be the more disappointing of the two teams, United would be happy with the one point.

Arsenal are back on the summit, five points above the defending champions Manchester City; both Liverpool and Arsenal would know that they cannot write City off and if they want to have a chance of winning the league, they have to pull clear of the City now that they are wobbling. City are still very much in the title race and they remain my favorite candidate for the EPL title.

That is football for you. When you meet a stronger opponent you have to play them with tactics that will help you win the match or go home with a point. Manchester United did not play defensive football all through the second half, which was why Manchester United was able to get a draw at Anfield. Also, Manchester United had an opportunity to take the lead against Liverpool, but Garnacho failed to score.

Manchester city kinda a different team since de bruyne was not playing again as starting line up due to the injury. Relying upon rodri was not enough in helping manchester city to play even better than before. I must be honest that if manchester city can't play without rodri.
Rodri has become a very important player owned by the club and this is the key point owned by manchester city. Having rodri in the lineup was strengthening the attacking line. The game play of manchester city was very complicated once the club played without rodri.
Manchester city losses ability to create creative attack against its opponent which in result manchester city was always losing points regularly. Pep needs to find someone who is capable enough to play like de bruyne.
I hope city will consider olmo during the winter transfer season. Having a good attacking midfielder was a must for manchester city coz we have seen how big the contribution from de bruyne.
he was also helping haaland to create a new record last season. I hope de bruyne will comeback again soon.

Overall, of course, the strategy used by Ten Heg in the match against Liverpool does not look like Man United has high honors as a quality club. They formed a defense like an army that was afraid of enemy attacks and from the start had no confidence in winning. Well it's been a bad season for Man United. But I don't want to think that all the players there are bad. But I prefer to blame how the coach at this club is completely unable to bring out the potential of every player in the club. I know Bruno Fernandes is one of the best from the Portuguese national team along with Felix (current Barcelona player). But when Bruno Fernandes played at Man United he really became like a different player. He always makes decisions hesitantly as if full of worry. I don't know how Ten Heg puts pressure on the players on the pitch. But this also happens to almost all Man United players. Rashford, who was very sharp last season, has even become blunt this season. There is clearly something strange about the managerial approach at this club. All the players seemed to be playing under pressure. They really weren't themselves. As for Liverpool, I can't say much about them. One word is enough for them this season. Amazing !

What differentiates Erik Ten Hak in his first season coaching Manchester United from his second season at Old Trafford is the lack of cooperation between the players so we have an idea of why Manchester United has so far failed to take advantage of all the conditions. According to my observations, Manchester United players do not have hardworking qualities and tend to be lazy, so there are some players who seem immature and too selfish. A number of players need to learn from Maguire how he tried to get out of pressure even though he was not liked by many fans and thanks to hard work he managed to return to his best performance.

Erik Ten Hak also failed to maximize a number of players because he gave too much trust to players who made mistakes. Erik Ten Hak needs to work hard if he wants to bring Manchester United to success because this club has a long history and will always be in the spotlight when the coach is unable to handle it.

Whatever the strategy is the fact that Manchester United get one point in this match that's the most important thing in a match, Manchester United Understanding them will not be able to fight Liverpool if they play an open game so they have to find ways to anticipate it. we will not compare which team is better because it is clear that we all agree Liverpool are the best but as I say the final result is the most important thing. Manchester United still have 2 tough matches ahead they must prepare themselves so they don't get lost or miss points, maybe this is the reason why Manchester played defensively they don't want to lose points in these 3 matches.

Full offensive or full defensive strategies is not really important because Manchester United success get one points against Liverpool who more confidence easily defeating United on last match. Seems Liverpool losses three points against Manchester United not only with full defensive of Manchester United games play but also how bad finishing from Liverpool striker, they made 38 shots and have 8 shots of target with not really made Andre Onana have working hard to make many saves. Statistic match Liverpool more dominance than Manchester United have ball possession more than 69% depend with Liverpool have 31% but its not enough to help The Kop for defeating Manchester United as classic and rival match.

Achieving one point against Liverpool helped bit Manchester United keep close points to return to fourth standings, current position Manchester United remaining six points from Manchester City and have focus achieving three points upcoming match against West Ham United.

Liverpool's hope is that they definitely want to win when playing with Manchester United because if they win the match, of course Liverpool will get a lot of points and now Arsenal are leading the standings and this is the result of their struggle against Brighton with a score of 2-0. Now Arsenal has reaped the results of their struggle. so far. Manchester United in terms of defense is very strong against Liverpool. I think Erik Ten Hag succeeded in developing a strategy that made Liverpool unable to break into Manchester United's goal It's definitely a disappointment at this time for Liverpool because their ranking in the standings has dropped to 2nd. But I'm sure Jurgen Klopp is still there time to improve liverpool.

Yes, Manchester City is only 5 points different from Arsenal, yes of course Manchester City could be a candidate this year to become champions this season but of course it is not an easy thing because other teams will also definitely fight to become champions this season.

In my opinion, Erik ten Hag's tactics are very good and indeed getting 1 point is certainly satisfying because the opponent faced by Manchester United is a strong team.

You are right, that is another fact but all are interrelated what I mean is Manchester United goalkeeper also plays an important role so we can't fully blame the Liverpool striker that's why I say interrelated. If this match is played at Manchester United home maybe the situation is different  we can see more goals because Manchester will play a different style and strategy. Oh well I can't wait for the next Liverpool match the struggle for top 1 place against Arsenal of course we don't expect Liverpool to play like the last match, Arsenal as the leaders of the standings must be ashamed if playing with bus parking this is not just a struggle for points but there is pride there.

[Luzin]

Achieving one point against Liverpool helped bit Manchester United keep close points to return to fourth standings, current position Manchester United remaining six points from Manchester City and have focus achieving three points upcoming match against West Ham United.

Man United seem to have better luck with this game. West Ham will play in the EFL Cup on December 21. So West Ham seem to have a more hectic schedule and certainly maybe get tired. Man United should be able to seize this moment. Although they are going to the London Stadium. Holding Liverpool to a draw could also be an addition to mental strength for Man United. But I'm also worried that Man United will always look difficult if they meet a club that is not too strong. I think Ten Hag must get 3 points to be safe with Man United until the end of the season.

Despite managing to get 1 point against Liverpool, Manchester United's performance was very poor. They played defensively badly. If Liverpool could have scored a goal, Manchester United would not have been able to make a comeback. It is not always possible to score points by playing defensive tactics. I don't see Manchester United winning against West Ham unless their performance improves. If you want to get 3 points, you have to perform better. And certainly cannot be played with such a defensive strategy. As an opponent, the West Ham team cannot be called too weak.

Manchester United success in holding Liverpool to a draw at Anfield left different notes for the two teams. MU success in bringing home a point from Anfield ended Liverpool winning trend at Anfield this season, while a draw at Anfield was the first time MU achieved this season.
As hosts, Liverpool appeared more dominant, but due to MU players playing very disciplinedly, Liverpool had difficulty dismantling MU defense which meant they had to end the game with a draw. Liverpool, who are fighting for the EPL title, must be even more aggressive in the next match, now they have to drop to second place because they are one point behind Arsenal who are in first place.

With the way Manchester United is playing the season, I will not say that they had a poor performance against Liverpool because Manchester United has already been performing poorly this season. What do you expect from a club that Copenhagen came from 2 zeros down to beat to play against Liverpool? Manchester United's game against Liverpool on Saturday was one of Erik Ten Hag's best results this season.

I was disappointed with Liverpool for failing to win that game. Liverpool passed up 34 chances at goal, failed to make use of 69% possession and 12 corners, and made bad decisions when in good positions. I expected them to bury Manchester United as per they haven’t won against any top 7 sides this season. They dominated possession but failed to capitalise on their opportunities during the listless affair, lacking quality in the final third.

I’m not happy with Liverpool's performance. They made Manchester United look like a prime Juventus side. They arrived low on confidence and struggling for form after crashing out of the UCL earlier last week. I wasn't impressed as they survived a potential at drubbing against their fiercest rivals where they had lost 7-0 last season and 5-0 the other season. If they cannot score a struggling Manchester United side, is it Arsenal they hope to beat?

 

[dzungmobile]

This result is indeed quite good for Manchester United, but that doesn't mean that the Manchester United team played well in this match. In fact, I think all this cannot be separated from a bit of luck for Manchester United because they played a very defensive team game and on the other hand Liverpool were also not in the game. good performance, especially Liverpool's front line which is not working optimally.

They were at the verge of crisis and they needed a draw to avoid a crisis trigger. They succeeded with a very defensive strategy and got one point in a match their attacking power was affected by the absence of their captain Bruno Fernandez. Even with Bruno, they could not do anything better in attacking but without him, their power drops a lot.

Manchester United and Ten Hag can take a breath and prepare for a next match. The coach has a little bit less pressure for his position but he has many things to do if wanting to keep his position.

Seems Liverpool losses three points against Manchester United not only with full defensive of Manchester United games play but also how bad finishing from Liverpool striker, they made 38 shots and have 8 shots of target with not really made Andre Onana have working hard to make many saves. Statistic match Liverpool more dominance than Manchester United have ball possession more than 69% depend with Liverpool have 31% but its not enough to help The Kop for defeating Manchester United as classic and rival match.

Liverpool did not lose three points but they failed to get those three points. Two teams started the match with no points and they have to play, fight to get points from the match. Liverpool deserve to get three points but they failed to find a winning goal so eventually, one point is for each team.

Liverpool are disappointed with 1 point but they must analyze themselves that what made them missing three points after creating many opportunities in the match. Onana made some good saves and mistakes too but Liverpool's players are responsible for this draw.

Yes, Erik Ten Hag seems that optimizes strategy keeping the defense tight so that the home clubs is not able to break into Manchester United's defense like last season when they conceded a lot of goals, but yes, at least this strategy can save Manchester United from conceding goal and is able to bring home 1 point and Liverpool I really regret that they were shifted from Arsenal, even though in this match many people hope that Liverpool would be able to embarrass Manchester United because the team condition was not very stable. But in the end  the match ended goalless and this looked boring.

It's true as you said, if Manchester United players seem to play like they're not themselves, they only play according to Erik Ten Hag strategy, but sometimes Erik Ten Hag applies the wrong strategy, causing defeat. Erik Ten Hag is to blame for all of this, he actually not capable but he is too pushy so this will really affect the team performance, it seems impossible for Manchester United to get a top 3 ranking like last season even though they are coached by the same coach but Erik Ten Hag made the wrong player changes this season, especially recruiting players who don't being so useful and throwing away important players, this is what make it difficult for Manchester United to manage their performance.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Liverpool's hope is that they definitely want to win when playing with Manchester United because if they win the match, of course Liverpool will get a lot of points and now Arsenal are leading the standings and this is the result of their struggle against Brighton with a score of 2-0.

Setting overly high expectations to win against a weak Manchester United somewhat made Liverpool play a bit hurriedly. The eagerness led to poor handling and passing situations for Liverpool. Even the brightest star, Mohamed Salah, had several misplaced passes, being tightly marked by Luke Shaw, and in the first 45 minutes, he only managed a single shot that couldn't beat Andre Onana.

Whatever the strategy is the fact that Manchester United get one point in this match that's the most important thing in a match, Manchester United Understanding them will not be able to fight Liverpool if they play an open game so they have to find ways to anticipate it.

You're right. Manchester United approached the match as the underdog, opting for a defensive strategy. This defensive stance might be the reason why Liverpool struggled. If Manchester United had approached the game with their familiar attacking style with disjointed midfield, it could have been exploited by the opponent, putting immense pressure on their defense.

Achieving one point against Liverpool helped bit Manchester United keep close points to return to fourth standings, current position Manchester United remaining six points from Manchester City and have focus achieving three points upcoming match against West Ham United.

Ten hag was very happy with this achievement. At least there was a small progress that is happening with manchester united. This is showing that if manchester united made huge progress caused by liverpool was beating manchester united with 7 goals last season.
Manchester united can also try to surpass manchester city caused by we are still far away from the end of season. It's very good to see that how ten hag was praising the defenders of manchester united by said they did their job so well.
Im also giving applause even though this result is not wanted by so many bettors but MU fans are feeling happy with it. I remember that there were many people mocking MU to get same lose again like last season.

This is a great achievement and at least manchester united has proven in front of so many liverpudlians if this time mu was not the same like when it was playing like shit last season.
This is also the main reason why ten hag was feeling happy during his interview with media.
