Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Oluwa-btc]

I see Ten Hag is same to Graham Potter.

Both of them spend a good amount of money to sign many players.

Both of them sign mediocre and useless players.

Both of them kick high quality players which already been in the teams before they came.

To be fair Manchester United need to sack Ten Hag and at the same time sell many of the players since Ten Hag already ruin them, Manchester United need to start from zero with new managers and new players.

I don't even think you can see properly because if you can, you won't come up here to write this nonsense post you made here.
How can you compare Erik Ten Hag and Graham Potter? You should be comparing Graham Potter and Pochetino but the management to f Cheese gave more time to Mauricio Pochetino.

For you information, Graham Potter wasn't in charge of the players bought at Chelsea last season, dont be a dump head here.  At least Chelsea has football bodies within to guide Graham Potter but Erik Ten Hag had nothing as he went on to bring in players he has worked with before in the past.

You can go on to write whatever you like you spammer, who just here to write bullshit not because you have not said what I want to hear but it's obvious how much of a bloody spammer you're. Manchester United sacks Erik Ten Hag? It will be his win and not his lose he deserves better and will be the next manager of Bayern Munich and I'm confident if they give him the right players he will win the Bundesliga and someday the Champions League Competition.

The new INEOS are almost like Manchester United recent fanbase, inpatient and they having nothing high up in them skulls.

It is not only the coach but also the players. However, the coach is the big problem because since Manchester united have started this season, it is like Eric Hag does not habe any game pattern that he is using. Even when he wants to make substitute, he makes the wrong changes which most times lead to the lost of the match.

I hope he is ready to be fired and not to be given another opportunity next season, if not the club will be worst than a medicore team. Next season should be a bright one for Manchester united if they can offload some players who are very weak in contributing to the success of the club.

Honestly if you look at Manchester United at the moment, I think ten Hag is the main problem of the Red Devils today, while players we can see if the players bought by Manchester United before are players who are quite good players at their club, ego and also Ten Hag's coaching pattern seems quite ambiguous so it is very difficult for Manchester United players to understand,  If you look at Manchester United's current game no longer looks like a scary team to their opponents and even the coach of the Championship team Coventry once said that facing Manchester United is not as difficult as when they played Wolves in the FA Cup, what coach Coventry said was proven when they were able to hold Manchester United to a draw at that time.

Ten sacking could certainly be the right solution for Manchester United next season, but it does seem like the Manchester United owners still have full confidence in Ten Hag so it is very likely that Ten Hag will be retained, if Ten Hag says Manchester United players are not quality after the defeat to Palace of course it is quite wrong in my opinion, for example, we can see Sancho who was discarded by Ten Hag because he was considered to have no ability instead of him able to show quite good quality with Dortmund at the moment.

[Ayers]

What I see from Ten Hag's coaching is that he is not at all good at improving good relationships or chemistry between players on the field. I quite often see Man United players becoming more selfish towards each other. And this results in mutual distrust of each other. And it seems like Ten Hag is creating competition within the club itself. even though it would be better if within the club all the players could develop stronger chemistry over time. Like the Real Madrid players I have seen from time to time, even though they change coaches, their culture is one of good relationships and strong chemistry between the players. And actually Man United also had it before, but in the Alex Ferguson era. Oh I'm starting to miss those days.

Man United has no shortage of great players. But this team really needs a coach who can maximize them well. I recognize the greatness of Ten Hag when he was at Ajax. But when he was at Man United I really didn't see Ten Hag as great as at Ajax.

When he was in Ajax he was able to maximize the potential of every single player individually. But at Manchester United, the players are already performing well. They are already great individual players. So it is more important to maximize the chemistry between the players. Because as they have proved themselves before, they will definitely have some kind of ego. but I don’t think he is actually being able to realize that. And that is a big reason why I think some players who have not done anything in Manchester United at all, like Antony, have a massively inflated ego without any reason.

He is just not a good coach for any club that has high expectations or any top level club in my opinion.

I agree with this that Erik Ten Hag cannot create a harmonious relationship or good chemistry between the players. I asked whether he simply didn't have that skill, or whether his players were very difficult to improve. However, the second reason (the problem lies with the players) is very unlikely if he is a coach who can manage all the players. Coaches should not be feared, but coaches should be respected, and from what I saw he was showing signs that he wanted to be feared by the players.
For example, when he had a problem with a player like Ronaldo some time ago, he acted as if he could do everything because he was a coach. This is an unwise attitude for a coach to have and it is a little annoying for me.

[hyudien]

Already it has been analyzed that Manchester United's problem now is a coach so they should fire Ten Haag and bring in another coach to continue the managerial duty and that is actually what Manchester united needs for now. I can't totally say that Eric Ten Haag is not doing his best for the team but he needs to leave the club now because he has tried but his techniques is not working for the team are all.

Whatever Man United decision to fire Erik Ten Hag will still have consequences which the new coach in his first season may not be able to match. According to many rumors, Ten Hag will stay for the next season, which is quite annoying news for some United fans but others are trying to give him a chance. For me Erik Ten Hag needs to lower his ego a lot, where so far he always wants to feel right about himself and rarely listens to input from other people and also input from his own players. As a result on the field the players were not seen playing freely, stuck to monotonous strategies and it was all Erik Ten Hag fault. So before blaming the players the quality of the coach must first be questioned.
Next season other teams will start to develop, including Chelsea, which is slowly showing positive results. If Man United continues not to change its game, it is possible that it will fall further behind. If we finish above 7th this season, it will be a bad record and Erik Ten Hag will definitely be blamed.

Before going to Manchester United, he came from the Dortmund team, so he (Jadon Sancho) returned there quite happily so he was able to show his extraordinary talent there (Dortmund). I didn't even think that Dortmund could qualify for the Champions League final this season after beating PSG yesterday. Meanwhile, Manchester United had to swallow a bitter pill after being brutally defeated by Crystal Palace, which made Manchester United have to think more if they wanted to keep Ten Hag next season.

When a player is in the hands of the right coach, he can develop his talents easily and become an important player in the club's success. Jadon Sancho is also highly valued at Dortmund which allows him to play without pressure. The incident that happened to Jadon Sancho indicates that the current Manchester United Coach (ETH) is unable to develop a good game strategy, The result is that players who have been playing well are not able to maximize their abilities.

I see that Manchester United's game this season is very far from what was expected, their last defeat was due to their very bad play. Casemiro who performed very well when he was playing for Real Madrid, seemed to lose his status as a top player when playing for Manchester United. He made a lot of mistakes when his team was slaughtered by Crystal Palace.

[Huppercase]

In the last few games, Chelsea managed to win and make them able to go quite high from their previous position at this time, the victory against Westham certainly made them now able to be ranked 7th and only 6 points away from the Europa League zone and 2 points from the current Conference League zone, in addition to the victory from Westham, of course Manchester United's defeat to Crystal Palace also gave them a very big advantage so that Chelsea Still able to stay in 7th place at this time, although indeed now Chelsea are starting to open the opportunity to play in the Europa League zone next season but I think their journey is not easy because the remaining games they have now only three, besides that of course Manchester United still has a chance to take over Chelsea current position.

You are making this so easy for Chelsea like 6 points is something they can do over in the next 2 matches. Even if the probably have the chance to win 2 matches and he  is the 6 points needed, you think the two team are going to sleep there forever, they will definitely advance surely, Newcastle and Tottenham has played against some of the tough teams that's why they have been staying behind but there should be some games they can win in the few games left.

I would like to see Chelsea rediscover their current form for us to see the tough competition in the Europa League, but honestly I don't dare to expect much if Chelsea can continue to consistently win the remaining games at the end of the season, considering what happened in the last few weeks, when they won quite convincingly but in the next game they suffered defeat even to the team that weak.

I love the development of Chelsea and how they now share points with Manchester united but you know them, it's when you don't expect they show you their madness and irk performance, they have impress us quite few matches now but one can't predict their next moves because they are not stable with winning consistently. However, if Pochettino could just do this, the there is hope for Pochettino to be here by next season.

[KTChampions]

Plus a conflict with Sancho, who is now playing well in Dortmund and has already reached the Champions League final. Plus, we can take into account that under Ten Hage, the best defensive midfielder in the world (Casemiro) turned into a whipping boy, the magnificent Rashford turned into a piece of wood, etc. In fact, Ten Hag was good as a temporary crisis manager, but in the long run he simply ruins the team and if he is given another season, United will be stuck in the middle of the standings for a long time.

Jadon Sancho managed to show his class after successfully leading Dortmund to the Champions League final, so far it has been clear who is incapable of carrying out his duties which makes it difficult for Manchester United to develop. Manchester United certainly regretted their decision to throw Sancho at Dortmund, he actually performed extraordinary and became an important player in making Dortmund appear in the Champions League final.
Sancho deserves to be proud of his success with Dortmund, while it is increasingly difficult for Manchester United to finish in the European Zone after being beaten by Crystal Palace 4-0. There is no reason for Ten Hag to be retained next season, he is still unable to bring Manchester United out of decline even though he is equipped with quality players.

Today I read in the news that at the end of the season United will receive 3.8 million bonuses for Sancho, mostly due to the fact that he reached the Champions League final with Dortmund. It’s quite funny that a player who had no playing experience and who was even forbidden to train with the main team was able to quickly get into the game. By the way, the news also writes that Sancho does not want to return to United even if Ten Hag is fired.

[redsun114]

United will play two crucial matches soon. The first is against arsnal, and then they will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final which is gonna be united's last chance to get trophy this season. United continues to struggle against mediocre teams such as Crystal Palace and manchester united has got a very bad result being destroyed by palace with 4 goals and cleansheet. To be honest, the poor result against Crystal Palace has caused me to lose hope for manchester united in the upcoming matches.

I wouldn't say United has no chance against Arsenal, but it will be very low and even very close to the zero chance. United needs a miracle to defeat Arsenal and save Manchester City from Arsenal.
This is going to be a very important match coming up soon. The match that will determine the Premier League winner. If Arsenal draws against United. It means the city has one more chance to stay away from Arsenal.

Im expecting united to get two losses in a row.

Manchester United now having total 4 games left in this season with their next challenge is at home against Arsenal then Newcastle United and last game against Brighton away after these games we will have 25th May the FA Cup final which is going to play against Manchester City as we have their performance against Crystal Palace I have doubt about their win in any game because these all teams are much better than Crystal Palace which give humiliating defeat to Manchester United in last game and things are going completely down for them with their star players are completely failed to give any impression which is wired for fans because they are one of the club which spend huge funds for having star players, but their performance is worse than average clubs.

Now just few days left while they will be host Arsenal which is currently at the top and their performance and quality is surely at the top which is giving them good advantage for having win here which will boost their chances for the title race against Manchester City but can Manchester United give any positive hope or things will be stayed at this level.

[Dzwaafu11]

Maybe Chelsea doesn't have a big enough chance to take 5th place from Tottenham because the Premier League doesn't have many matches left. Apart from that, even though Tottenham Hotspur is in poor performance, Newcastle could be an obstacle because they have also been playing quite well recently.

Tottenham is quite safely at their fifth position and Chelsea now looks similar to Liverpool last season. Rising performances of Liverpool in latest weeks of last season were not enough for them to get a fourth position from Newcastle United. This season Chelsea are facing with a same disappointed fact but they firstly must feel happy with their recent performances. They are improving a lot recently and are harvesting their training, efforts with good results lately.

Tottenham's performance has not been that good recently; they are no longer performing the same way as they were at the beginning of the season, and Chelsea have shown some consistency recently. I think Chelsea are fighting to end the season at the top 5 in the table, and with all indications, I think they can continue performing this way. I believe they can do  it, though I can’t guarantee Chelsea a win against Tottenham because Tottenham are also not a team to underestimate, and they won't want Chelsea to take over, so let's wait and see what Chelsea will do at the end of the season, since they have been improving. Let's see if they are going to continue this way till the end of the season.

[Jody.Drummer]

I want to see the exact action that Manchester United will take with their current coach, whether Manchester United will fire him or keep him. There are several reasons that I think could enable Manchester United to fire Erik Ten Hag. Firstly, he couldn't create a team with consistent play. Second, Erik Ten Hag couldn't create chemistry between the players. Thirdly, he pushed too hard on his own ego, and there's more that I didn't say.

Yes, it's true, there is no guarantee that by firing Erik Ten Hag they will be better, but they can try because this season Erik Ten Hag has not shown good progress in my opinion. And actually it's not just a matter of being coached, but management also has to be able to evaluate. Because I see that the current management of Manchester United doesn't seem to be serious about managing the club so that it can get better. Honestly, I miss the golden era of Manchester United which could provide competition in the English Premier League, not Manchester United now which is the butt of jokes.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Monday night football is a night Crystal Palace would always remember and is going to be a night Manchester United won't forget in a hurry. Since the beginning of this season UTD have never been good so let's forget about those winnings they had. I don't know where to place the manager ETH on this situation of the club and it would be too hard on him to say is all his fault, they lost and if I'm the manager I won't go close to the press because is an awful display and nothing positive to say to the media.
Going head to head against a team that are in form and are hungry of getting hold of the EPL title talking about Arsenal, it won't be a smooth ride for the host Manchester United judging by how the have been performing and I wouldn't blame it on squad depth or injury but let's leave it at that. I never thought a day would come to see the odd of Arsenal to be very low and that of Manchester United be up to 6+odd.
I believe the Gunners are going to win without much pressure because all the fans are hoping to get that hope going but if they make any mistake I feel it would be game over for the title race. At this point Manchester United don't have the midfield and defense to stop the movement of the Gunners so we might see something similar to what we saw in the Liverpool vs Tottenham (base on scoreline), only that the Gunners are going to concede just a goal.

Now this weekend they will be welcoming Arsenal to the Old Trafford and at this point Arsenal is in a chase for the league, you can only imagine what the fate of Man United is in this fixture. Both teams will be under pressure in this match but Arsenal stands a better chance as they have a better squad than Man United currently and they know how important it is to get 3 points in this fixture.

I don't think both teams would be under pressure, I think is only the Gunners who'd be under pressure and they (Arsenal) would be more desperate to get a goal against Man UTD when City get a win against Fulham that's if Fulham would allow that to happen. As for Man UTD they already know their fate but they'll try to get at least a draw because they can't get a win against a team that have everything this season.

With the bad defense of Man United you can only begin to imagine how many goals this match will have and it will be really crazy if we see another 0-7 or probably Arsenal having a revenge on the 8-2 defeat from Man United in time past. This match will be the match of the weekend as it’s a key determinant for both teams in their different chase.

The defense of UTD has never been good since the beginning of this campaign and it made the goalkeeper look bad at the same time he has been the savior of the red devils only on some occasions where he feels like displaying some crazy skill which will lead to him conceding.
I wouldn't say this game is going to be a revenge with what's at stake I don't see the Gunners looking forward to do that, only if they're leading by 3 goals then the Gunners will be thinking about that (revenge of 8-2). I'd say let City lose or draw then we're going to see the Gunners running the red devils from end to end.

If we finish above 7th this season, it will be a bad record and Erik Ten Hag will definitely be blamed.

Literally before Manchester United can come back to good form now it will absolutely take a lot of time no matter the coach they would want to hire now so that is it because to build Manchester United now is a very big task for any coach at all because the first work will be to build the mindset of the players to be able to align with the coach, having a good relationship and understanding between the Coach and the players is very important. Manchester United allowing Eric Ten Haag to still continue next season might cost the club chaos because I don't see him making any difference next season but retaining him could be if he makes some improvements for the club if not I see no reason retaining him when he is not doing well.

About Chelsea improving from next season is not certain because they are literally facing same problems of coach with Manchester united so until they sign a coach that can rebuild the team again, they might even get worst next season. I assume you want to say that if Manchester city finish below 7th position instead of below 7th position but however, regardless of their current drop in performance, they can still finish within the 6th or 7th position before the league ends.

@Dzwaafu11, are you serious that Chelsea have a chance to end this season in the top four? Have you checked about how big the points gap is between Aston Villa and Chelsea at the moment? After all, if for example Aston Villa lose the remaining three matches this season and Chelsea win the remaining three matches this season, in fact Chelsea will only be able to get a total of 63 points. But in reality, Aston Villa currently have 67 points and thus, expecting Chelsea to end this season in the top four is just a delusion.

Unless, about the chance to finish in the top five or top six, at least Chelsea still has a chance about that position but in the existing calculations too, I think Chelsea has no have a good chance of being able to finish in fifth position. But obviously, if Chelsea's chance to finish in sixth place is of course, Chelsea still has a good chance to be able to finish in sixth place by overtaking Newcastle but still not easy, of course.

It is not easy to achieve the same glory as in the past as long as Manchester United does not have a number of good and quality players in its squad. Manchester United certainly has to improve from A to Z, where the coach and main squad must be a priority for improvement. The problem is that of course it takes time and patience, but people continue to put Manchester United under pressure.

Manchester United need to get good defenders, they also need to get great midfielders, then they also need productive strikers. This squad needs refreshing which will likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but to return to its best performance every team needs time.

About Chelsea improving from next season is not certain because they are literally facing same problems of coach with Manchester united so until they sign a coach that can rebuild the team again, they might even get worst next season. I assume you want to say that if Manchester city finish below 7th position instead of below 7th position but however, regardless of their current drop in performance, they can still finish within the 6th or 7th position before the league ends.

Chelsea is the same as Manchester United. They need a lot of budget to build a great squad, not just about expensive players who are unable to make a good contribution. Both teams have been equally bad in recent seasons, but if they truly have a long-term project then I'm sure improvement can be expected.

[Justbillywitt]

Marcus Rashford has a performance that can be said to be still not good, with his age being 26 years old, it may be a consideration for many clubs to buy, but it should be noted that Manchester United should not have too much hope of being able to sell Marcus Rashford at a high price because We know that there are still many great attacking players who are still young and have better performance than Marcus Rashford.

I actually think that Manchester United no longer wants Marcus Rashford at this club but they don't want to just lose out, because they have paid Marcus Rashford quite a lot of money so by making an announcement that Manchester United is selling Marcus Rashford in the hope that someone will want it. buy and keep getting more money.

On the other hand, Rashford does not need to be sold, but Manchester United problem lies in the coach being unable to manage the talent of the players he has. In fact, Rashford seems confused about finding his identity as a striker, while Ten Hag does not have the capacity to demand that his players develop their talents. If Manchester United wants to sell Rashford too, then replace him with a new coach, because no matter how many great players and strikers Manchester United buys, if they are still with the same coach the results will not be much different. How many players did Ten Hag buy during his tenure as coach? is there a significant impact?

I don't know what has been happening to Rashford all of a sudden because this is literally a player that was very active for Manchester United some time ago but in recent seasons his performance have been declining and he isn't making any improvements for the team, he makes a lot of mistakes and waste a lot of opportunities to score goals in any match he is being featured and regardless of the fact that Eric Ten Haag is not doing enough for the team, players like Marcus Rashford needs to be sold out of the club because right now he is unproductive for the club so selling would be better.

Already it has been analyzed that Manchester United's problem now is a coach so they should fire Ten Haag and bring in another coach to continue the managerial duty and that is actually what Manchester united needs for now. I can't totally say that Eric Ten Haag is not doing his best for the team but he needs to leave the club now because he has tried but his techniques is not working for the team are all.

Rashford needed to have competition for that position he is playing at Manchester United. He is too relaxed and that has contributed to his decline in productivity. Or will I say that the weight that was put on him was too much for him to bear. Although players like Marcus Rashford need the right environment to flourish and it looks like the old Trafford is too hostile for him or it could be that the playing pattern of the current coach is not suitable for him and that's what might be hindering him from scoring goals. Sometimes when he plays it looks as if his mind is no longer at Manchester United and he wants to move on from there. But the question is will Manchester United want to sell him? Rashford can still deliver very well under a different coach, for me I don't think Rashford will do any better if Eric Ten Hag continues to be the head coach of Manchester United next season.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Roy Keane has taken this banter or beef he has on Haaland too far because I see no reason why at first he calls him a division 2 (because of poor form) and later on he called him a spoilt brat just because he (Haaland) wasn't happy when Pep subbed him in the game against Wolves.
Haaland only knows how to get goals and has never been a team player or let's say he's form hasn't been what we expected this season but that shouldn't be a reason why Roy Keane would start picking on him (Haaland) after all during his days with Alf-Inge (Haalands' father) it wasn't easy, I think Roy Keane was the one who ended the career of Alf-Inge Haaland. I'd say let Roy Keane take over from ETH as the manager and feel the effects of Haaland in the EPL because his mouthwash on the player is uncalled for.

Chelsea have surprised us quite often this season by beating teams like Aston Villa, Man United, Newcastle and two weeks ago they beat Tottenham. Chelsea even held Man City to a draw. But sometimes this team also suddenly experiences bad luck again. But for now Chelsea looks better and more consistent. And if this continues then reaching rank 5 might be possible. But reaching rank 4 I don't think will be easy and I don't see the potential for that to happen. Luckily, Chelsea's remaining 3 matches this season are all easy matches. And against Brighton is probably the only one that looks like it will be quite difficult. Although Brighton this season is actually not that good.

Chelsea quite often experiences ups and downs in performance, where this season Pochettino fleet has experienced 11 defeats and 9 draws, 15 wins, and in total they have collected 54 points and sit in 7th place in the standings. Pochttino still has the opportunity to bring his team up the rankings again, with the remaining three matches they still have, I think these three matches will not be easy either.

The Blues performance is never uncertain, sometimes they play quite well against other big teams, but other times they collapse in front of mediocre clubs. For most of the season, Chelsea performance was never uncertain, they were far from consistent, and towards the end of the season the Blues had to work hard not to disappoint the fans again. Many people assume that Pochettino failed to manage Chelsea, and there are also those who think he is still worth keeping next season.

However, Pochettino and his fleet need to prove to fans that they can reach the European zone when the season ends. Chelsea must be able to secure full points and overcome the resistance of Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Bournemouth well. If successful, the Blues have the opportunity to overtake Newcastle or Tottenham, and of course they will finish better than United. If successful, Pochettino has the potential to be retained next season.

Let's see if they are going to continue this way till the end of the season. 

Chelsea have surprised us quite often this season by beating teams like Aston Villa, Man United, Newcastle and two weeks ago they beat Tottenham. Chelsea even held Man City to a draw. But sometimes this team also suddenly experiences bad luck again. But for now Chelsea looks better and more consistent. And if this continues then reaching rank 5 might be possible. But reaching rank 4 I don't think will be easy and I don't see the potential for that to happen. Luckily, Chelsea's remaining 3 matches this season are all easy matches. And against Brighton is probably the only one that looks like it will be quite difficult. Although Brighton this season is actually not that good.

As you said Chelsea performance in their last three matches they have been playing well or dominant, like when they played against Everton scoring five goals, no one really expected that much from them. For them reaching rank 5 is not probably possible because of Newcastle. The match against Brighton will not be that difficult because of Brighton current performance, assuming from their previous games, it is only the match against Nottingham forest that will  be difficult because Nottingham is fighting for the relegation board in the table.
