Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Leviathan.007]

Since we saw a bad performance from Manchester United, I was expecting to see this team make some changes during this season and buy some new players during the inter to improve the team and have better performance in the next games.
But it seems Macnsther United is not going to buy any players. John Murtough the director of Manchester United said they probably won't buy any new players during the winter.

But never mind, it's all over and we see how Ten Hag managed this team. His decision to bring in Onana and how he managed his team was not good enough. Because after all, Onana still hasn't been able to show his abilities well at Man United. Moreover, there are many problems at Man United which have caused their strength to decline. This has not been a good season for them.

Ten hag haven’t gotten what he needs from Onana and am sure he will be disappointed right now. He wants a goalkeeper that's good at leg work, which he thinks Onana is just the right goalkeeper for that. But how do you want a goalkeeper to play that pattern of football when the defense of the club is very weak? Before Onana will be able to play that pattern of football that Ten hag needs, then Ten hag will have to work on his defense. The Manchester United defence is so poor, and that’s one of the reasons why Onana is always conceding many goals in most matches. Defenders are supposed to be protecting the goalkeeper, but no defender is protecting Onana.

What you have said that is the truth and nothing but the truth. The difficulty that Manchester United new goalkeeper is facing in the club is mainly caused by the inadequacy of Manchester United defence. I will not say that Manchester United defence is totally bad. Why it appears that it is very very bad is because there have been series of injuries in the Manchester United defence. If the Manchester United defence is complete, it will be a different story. Manchester United new goalkeeper knows how to use his leg very well and he is a good passer, with time, if Manchester United has a good defence the goalkeeper will adapt and become the star he used to be.
It seems that Erik Ten Hang understands this, that is why he isn't talking about replacing Onana.

Manchester United is just a little better than Chelsea. I can't call that inconsistency because for a team to be inconsistent, they have to be good at times. Manchester United have been poor too. They couldn't qualify out of a group with Copenhagen and Galatasaray. That's not inconsistency, that's bad.
For this season, I don't think they'll be back to any good form. Maybe they may get a little better but they will not be good enough to make it to the top 6. Their problems is not a problem that can be fixed within w short period.

I think Manchester United and Chelsea are just equal because there performance are actually the same and they are very inconsistent in times of wining because the reason why I said they are equal is that the kind of energy and performance they put on there match against Manchester City on that faithful day, that made them to draw the match, so perhaps I doubt of Manchester United would pulled the same performance Chelsea did on that match because it doesn't take Manchester City time to win Manchester United but whenever Manchester City meet Chelsea is always difficult for them to win Chelsea, so that's why I believe there both strength are just equal, I no that the last time Manchester United and Chelsea meet it was not favourable for Chelsea and they lose against Manchester United but still I believe there performance is still equal.

Steve Cooper got fired from Nottingham Forest and they should find a new coach for the upcoming games they are going to have.
Nottingham Forest got bad results recently and they are in the 17th place of the Premer League.
They lost five games in the six recent matches they had during this season and after these bad results, they had Nottingham Forest fired their coach Steve Cooper.

So Chelsea have successfully manage to squeeze out a win from their cup tie against Newcastle. It was quite a game though but at first didn't expect Chelsea to actually qualify at the hands of Newcastle united but it seems Newcastle united are still struggling although they they had a comfortable win against Fulham during their weekend clash but this night was not good for them as Chelsea manage to equalized their first half lead and win the game on penalties.

The commitment of Chelsea's team tonight was something fascinating to watch and if only they can maintain consistency in with this commitment shown tonight against Newcastle they might be favourite to lifting the carabao cup this time. The mudryk and Nkuku sub was a classic super sub that changed the whole game increasing the pressure on Newcastle defense forcing trippier to make the defensive error that brought about the equalizer by Mudryk right at 90+2 minutes of the added time.

Chelsea started meaning business with striking the moment that lazy Jackson was removed. I mentioned on the weekend games against Sheffield that wonders will happen when Broja is played to support Nkunku. The pressure on Newcastle defense immediately Nkunku entered is what they couldn't contain because himself and Broja had that force to destabilise defense which Led to the confusion on the Newcastle player and Modryk was very smart to take advantage of that expensive error.
Pochettino should learn his lessons now or face sack as coach. His favoritism on this Jackson boy that doesn't contribute anything to the squad should be dropped so Chelsea can continue on a winning streak. I'd love to see that come to pass. Chelsea played better with enthusiasm tonight and even fought back relentlessly to secure this win and I give them credit, but a lot of work is needed on the team. They need more improvement in their communication and positioning on the pitch.

Unfortunately, after taking the lead in the 16th minute, Newcastle were unable to maintain their lead, and Chelsea were very lucky at the end of the match that Mudryk was able to equalize. however, there were only a few minutes of extra time remaining. in this match, Newcastle had difficulty getting out of the pressure after winning first. Chelsea launched attack after attack to equalize. However, of the 15 total shots they took, only 4 were on target, 6 shots were blocked and only 1 big chance. this match seemed to be going one way, and Chelsea controlled 78% of ball possession. Newcastle just tried to withstand attack after attack that Chelsea built. what is certain is that Newcastle only had one counterattack and was able to convert it well into a goal. after that, the game was completely dominated by Chelsea. unfortunately, Newcastle also lost in the penalty shootout. and this match was according to my predictions for 90 minutes of normal running time. previously, I predicted that there would not be many goals in this match. that's why the under 3 goals option is the ideal choice. or, +0.75 handicap option for Newcastle at odds @1.90. final result, in normal time the match ended 1-1. and if anyone bets according to my prediction, congratulations on winning the bet in this match. and for Newcastle fans, they must be willing to let their team lose in the Quarterfinal match. for Blues fans, at least their favorite team has a chance to win a trophy in the EFL competition. although it seems Liverpool will be a tough opponent if in tomorrow's match they beat West Ham. and yeah, at least this match was quite entertaining even though it wasn't what I expected from both teams.

I think this isn't a good idea for the team not buying any player during the winter. Reading through the link, John Murtough said this to warn the team against against financial fair play breaches. Let's see how there performance will be after inter without any new signing.

[JoyMarsha]

Everton can still save themselves from relegation this season, especially when I saw that Everton was able to win at home to Burnley yesterday which has kept Everton safe from the relegation zone for a while. However, if Everton still wants to continue their current performance, there are several things that need to be considered for the good of their own team. And one of them is what you said because I think Everton is a pretty good team even though they don't often get good results in the Premier League.

It is not this season(2023/2024) that Everton will begin to save themselves from the relegation zone of the premier league table. They have done that for up to three consecutive seasons and they successfully made it through to the next season. Is it this season that they are performing better than the present three relegated clubs(Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield), that they can't save themselves from? Upon their 10-point deduction, they are above the three mentioned relegated clubs.

[Slow death]

Everton is in good form and they have already overcome their 10-point deduction from the Premier League. If not for the 10-point deduction, Everton could have been in the 10th position in the Premier League table.

It's true, they are focused on moving forward even when they were badly damaged, in the last 4 games they had games against strong teams like Newcastle and Chelsea and I was even seeing them lose points in those two games, especially in the game against Newcastle, but I was very surprised that everton beat newcastle in a game in which they managed to score 3 goals and didn't concede any goals and in the next game everton played against chelsea which, despite being a very unstable team, i thought that everton would lose in that game against Chelsea and once again Everton surprised me by beating Chelsea in a game in which they managed to score 2 goals and didn't concede any goals

In the next game Everton played against Burnley and they also won again, and once again managed to score 2 goals and didn't concede a goal. In other words, in the last 4 games, Everton won all 4 games and did not concede a single goal in the last 4 games, this shows how Everton's defense improved a lot after the defeat they had in the game against Manchester United in which Everton conceded 3 goals and they failed to score any goals, after that defeat in the game against manchester united, everton became much stronger in defense and attack, but everton are still not safe, in the next game it will be more complicated because they will play against tottenham

in this next everton game where they will play against tottenham if they managed to win then they would be further away from the relegation zone, but if they drew they would at least maintain position 16, but in a darker scenario which would be defeat, they would only They would maintain position 16 if Nottingham loses in the game they will play, something that has a high chance of happening. unfortunately everton has been very unlucky in the last 3 seasons, they constantly change coaches and fight to move away from the relegation zone, it has been like this in the last 3 seasons for everton

They have to do something about it, but Nottingham Forest can't expect too much from any coach. I like how hard they sometimes fight and they don't give up no matter who the opponent is and what the score is, but what can we expect from them. I honestly think that it was obvious they would be having a hard time. It is a difficult, yet understandable decision, but when a new coach arrives there I doubt that anyone should be hoping for a big turnaround. But they are still good enough to stay out of the relegation zone since the teams below them are performing even worse.

Poor results are mainly for struggling clubs this season, not landing if they win today, they're suppose to win the matches. We will consider to watch most of these elite matches because that's basically the match that holds engraving performance from the match. Nottingham Forest becomes a big team whenever the coat of clothes increased. What actually happens. Steve Cooper was one of the promising goalkeeper for Nottingham Forest this season but sacking him now, will it solved whenever I come around to help anyone's that's on call.

Chelsea finally made it to the semifinals after winning the match against Newcastle united. Playing at home was not an advantage for Chelsea because they conceded early to Wilson but Mudryk was able to revive Chelsea hopes after managing to equalize in the final minutes of the match. I think winning on penalties was lucky for them because playing in normal time they were able to put a lot of pressure on Newcastle united but couldn't score a goal to win in normal half time.

However, Chelsea player and fans should be happy because the opponents they face are not weak teams, so their success in advancing to the semifinals will open up opportunities for them to win the EFL trophy this season. By dominating the course of this match, of course we saw that they played quite well when facing strong teams, but in the Premier League, it was difficult for to predict the final result because like the previous match, they were defeated by Everton and that was beyond many people's expectations.

I also feel that if Villa continue to play as well as they did in the first half of the season, they can qualify for the Champions League next season... They remind me of Newcastle last season... I'd like to see Villa in the Champions League... Also it wouldn't be bad if they could do something in the Conference League this season...

The conference league is also consider important for these clubs. The earlier these elite clubs starts to buckled on their heels, the better because I no longer understand what's currently going on concerning these clubs. They have the bigger chances of domination and still yet, they don't have any promising chances of maintaining this balance in years to come. The English Premier League is transforming into new phase, I thought anyone could quickly noticed this event. It started last season, Newcastle United qualified for a spot in the UEFA Champions League last season, and now, we will be watching Aston Villa earning another spot for UCL next season. The big  six does not completely make it to the top four again, last season was worst and this season is different.

It's too early to say that Aston Villa will make it to the Champions League... They are certainly very strong and playing well in the Premier League, but there are other, more experienced clubs here who are also aiming to get into the top 4... Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs... All of these clubs are serious competitors for Villa...

Aston Villa came from behind to beat Brentford at their home. This mentality shows that Aston Villa can win the Premier League trophy or finish top four this season. And if winning the Premier League is by experience, Arsenal should have won it last season.

Brentford played well at the start of the match and they tried to press Aston Villa's defense quite carefully. Entering the 20th minute, Aston Villa found their rhythm again so they tried to play more measuredly and completely dominate the game. Lewis managed to break through Martinez's goal before the first half ended, giving Brentford a temporary lead. Entering the second half Aston Villa increased the tension of the game and they tried to carry out attack after attack but Brentford's solid defense still made it quite difficult for them to score.

Only in the 77th minute did Aston Villa equalize and then Watkins managed to double their lead to put Aston Villa ahead in the match. The motivation of the Aston Villa players is quite extraordinary, they never stop looking for gaps to score goals, even though the opponent's defense is quite solid and difficult to penetrate.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Erik Ten Hag will definitely be the one who will be highlighted first for the decline of Manchester United, because after all he is the closest person to the players and also he has access to communicate with management. It is a risk for a coach if he is criticized a lot.

Certainly, Ten Hag must bear the main responsibility for Mu's decline, setting aside the sideline issues regarding the club's ownership changes. Ten Hag has had ample time and funds for squad building. Mu's current struggles mostly stem from instability in the locker room, and Ten Hag is at the center of it all. Strict discipline is necessary, but it should be applied fairly, not favoring certain players to avoid unwarranted tensions.

Additionally, Ten Hag's tactics this season need scrutiny. He consistently makes errors in substitutions and unwarranted changes in playstyle, leading Mu to relinquish leads in matches where they had the upper hand, notably in the UCL group stage against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. After those defeats, instead of taking responsibility as a coach, he often blames his players or attributes it to the opponent's strength. It's a concerning pattern that raises questions about his leadership and decision-making, factors crucial to Mu's performance.

If the team needs players then the deficit must be filled. Because if there is a shortage of players then you cannot compete with other teams and win. That team will slowly be at the bottom of the points table, so I think if there is a shortage of players then of course it is most important to make up the deficit. John Murtough should fill his team with player cars otherwise his team will be under a lot of pressure at the last minute.

Brentford played completely defensively in this match. I thought Aston Villa might not win the match. After the first half ended 1-0 I thought the match was going to be a draw. The match began to change after Brentford's defender Ben Mee received a red card in the 71st minute. Aston Villa players increase their attacking speed. They scored two consecutive goals in the 77th and 85th minutes. The overall gameplay of the Aston Villa players was very good in the match. The team dominated from the beginning of the match. Aston Villa's third place in the table became stronger as a result of the victory in this match. Aston Villa is only 1 point behind Arsenal at the top of the table.

[Mayor of ogba]

Everton is in good form and they have already overcome their 10-point deduction from the Premier League. If not for the 10-point deduction, Everton could have been in the 10th position in the Premier League table.

Everton really need balancing against next season because this 10 points deduction really draw them back and I am quite sure that points deduction affected their performance and reduced their expectations on the way they plan the season but with their courage and consistency they are able to get out from relegation zone which they are moving up gradually with a seven points away from relegation zone if luton town win their outstanding match against Newcastle united then it will reduce the points to four but is it possible luton town to win Newcastle united, but who knows luton town are very strong at home.

Speaking of Everton's performance this season I actually feel they are still better than before, despite the current reduction in points, the fact is that their performance is still very much maintained at this time and managed to get back out of the relegation zone after a reduction of 10 points although currently the position is still not comfortable but it has shown that their performance has improved compared to the previous few seasons.
Dyche's arrival actually gave a breath of fresh air compared to some of their previous coaches although it is possible they still cannot return to the mid-table but at least at this time they are still quite good in terms of performance and now they just have to be able to continue to be consistent to continue to rise from the downturn of reducing points.
Currently 4 consecutive wins even with tough opponents like Newcastle and Chelsea it is a separate motivation for them so now their job is only to continue to maintain momentum so that this situation does not break which results in their performance faltering.

Everton's performance during this season was well enough but didn't you know Everton's owners are not in a good situation and this team is not in a good situation. There is even a chance for Everton to get relegated in this season because of that. I think if they really care about Everton, they should find a new owner and chairman for this team before it gets too late.

With the way Everton is playing, I don't think Everton will be relegated to the England Championship League this season. Since Everton lost to Manchester United, Everton has never lost to any other club in the Premier League so far.

You managed to describe the course of the Brenford vs Aston Villa match well, meaning you watched the match. I didn't watch it at the time, but when I saw the statistics of both teams then of course what you said was true. Aston Villa dominated the match and won 3 points in the end, but in essence Aston Villa really had difficulty winning the match because Brentford's defense was very strong.

The squad coached by Unai Emery deserves high appreciation for its good performance so far. Aston Villa has 4 more points than Manchester City in the standings and that makes Villa in 3rd place in the standings currently. The players' motivation is good, but maintaining the team's performance in the Premier League is very difficult. We'll see if Aston Villa can maintain their good form into the second half of the season, but I doubt them.

It's a concerning pattern that raises questions about his leadership and decision-making, factors crucial to Mu's performance.

but what I know at the moment is that Ten Hag bad attitude is related to players having a lot of injuries, so he is very confused about making Man United appear stronger, while many players are injured, so he often changes players. but this doesn't mean I'm defending Ten Hag, it's just that all this badness has a cause, but it's still the responsibility of a coach to maintain his performance even though many players are injured no matter what and Ten Hag should be more grateful to be in team that has fairly stable finances and he should also looking at the example of teams from La Liga like Barcelona still performing perfectly even though the only players they get are free players, while Ten Hag can appoint anyone he wants to recruit and Ten Hag has to look for problem spots, why many players have rejected offers from Man United several times at that time. and in my opinion, some players rejected Man United offer, perhaps because Ten Hag was less professional or had a character that the players didn't like, so other players who knew were hesitant to join Man United.

I slightly think that it seems like Ten Hag will be retained at Man United until the end of season and if he still can't get the best ranking in the standings he will definitely be fired from his position soon.
