Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Litzki1990]

Manchester City is a team that is ultimately evenly matched against opponents in the competition. Last season some players left Manchester City but still Manchester City's performance did not notice any bad effect due to the departure of players. They won the title last season and this season they continued to win the title. The excitement of going into the very last game of the season and winning the title with a match in hand is perhaps the most different Manchester City fans and Manchester City players have ever seen. I am a Real Madrid fan but I watch Manchester City games regularly and Manchester City can easily be distinguished from other teams because this team always likes to play very aggressively.

It was not clear why Gundogan decided to leave City for Barcelona, by the way Silva wanted to do the same but ended up staying, and recently there were rumors again that he still wants to leave the team. I don’t know, it seems to me that any player would like to play in such a team, but maybe the training regime is too difficult, or the game schedule is too dense, although this will apply to any team that participates in the Euro Cups.

I give you the exact explanation why Gundogan left Manchester City for Barcelona last season. The player's contract with Manchester City expired the season Gundogan moved to Barcelona, and Manchester City offered the player a one-year deal, which Gundogan did not like. Gundogan wanted Manchester City to sign a contract with him for at least four to five seasons but Manchester City did not agree to that and the player left Manchester City. 

Many players will be out of contract with Manchester City this season and if Manchester City does not renew the contract with those players, those players will have to choose another club to play in the next season.

 Felt really bad after getting the shocking news of Pochettino leaving Chelsea football club after a very busy season he had, both players and fans maybe some fans won't be happy for this decision made by the board. I think coaching Chelsea has been one of the challenging jobs since he started coaching, they would have left him to at least take care till the end of next season and I believe he'd do better than he did this past season.
 Who's going to fill in the missing gap, taking over the managerial position of the club? Is best to bring some one who has the experience to take the job because if they do the club would find it hard to adapt, is like starting all over again which is not good for a team that have pass through hell. This time the owner should be careful in decisions he makes if not he might be kill the club.

[QueenVera]

Do you actually mean every word in this your statement? Since the take over of Chelsea ownership by Boehly, which young players have they sold with a higher price? In fact, after his takeover Chelsea has been spending huge amount of money on average players that have not impacted progress to the team yet and if they decide to sell them, they will definitely worth lesser than what was used to buy them apart from Palmer.

I do agree with you that parting ways with Pottechino at this time is totally wrong. I personally couldn't believe the news at first because their decision to fire the couch despite securing slot in European competition is very shocking to me. To be candid, this move is a great setback to the team and as a matter of fact the club will start from a scratch with a new couch and his pattern of play. To be fair, Pottechino tried his best to bring the team together after they had struggled to be consistent and I also think he deserves more time at Chelsea but it's the management decision and they have reason for their actions.

Wishing them both Goodluck is much better than saying their offer should be rejected by any couch they approached. Let respect their decisions for the sake of our love for the game.

The strategy this mew owners are using is quite worrisome and it’s causing an uproar already in the fanbase of the club. Yes because these strategies can’t get the club anywhere rather it makes the club remain a laughing stock in the league.Why sign young players all in the name of recruiting talents for crazy fee and at the end they’re not producing up to the amount you signed them for. Instead of prioritizing building a balanced squad, they keep on prioritizing getting talents and at the end of the day those talents just run round the field without getting the goals and it’s now worrisome for the club.

 The sack of Pochettino is another big error that this new board has carried out. ⁠He just helped the team secure European football and not just that, he’s finally brought balance to the team, yet you let him go, why?? Will the fans be patient for the new coach to now blend his own philosophy into the team again?? This of course will halt the progress of this squad we’ve seen in the last 5 games.

 ⁠The board would have given him more time at least one more season before putting the axe on his job, now the news of who they want to hire, none of them come close to the standard of the club. I don’t think the fans will be taking any of this especially if the new coach comes and fail again, the board should understand they’re in for a long one with the fans.

I’m looking for a new team to support instead of Chelsea. After yesterday's sacking of coach Pochettino, I've been trying to avoid anything related to Chelsea. I've even unfollowed the board members on Twitter. I can't understand what they expect from managers. Those billionaire owners seem to want a manager who will just bow to them, like Porters. One more season could have made a difference; the statistics prove it. This is a young team with their first experience in England, and Pochettino guided them to winning ways. They played well even during the toughest part of the season when other teams were fighting for survival.Boehly and Eghbali should just go to H**l

For next season, Chelsea seems targeted with young manager after denied with possibility Jose Mourinho, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte become the manager. Considering success achievement of Bayern Leverkusen seems Chelsea want to sign young manager for next season and wish the Blues can participants in Champion League next season or make compete for Premier League tittle race with Manchester City or Arsenal.

It was Chelsea's condition that made Pochettino leave. He felt uncomfortable at Chelsea.  It seems that this achievement is not considered a good achievement. The management is not satisfied with the current conditions, so they are never satisfied with Pochettino's achievements. Actually, changing coaches only makes time increase to wait for better achievements or maybe even they can fail. Pochettino should stay at least 1 more year, if he has good progress, they can increase the duration of the contract. I want to see how later they develop or get worse.

Chelsea owners seem to be dissatisfied with Pochettino performance, even though Pochettino was able to bring Chelsea from 11th place and ended the season in 6th place it was a bitter decision to be accepted by Pochettino when Chelsea started to improve now, I think many do not believe that with all Pochettino success, especially at the end of the season, but it does not make him able to remain Chelsea coach next season,  Chelsea are starting to see Leverkusen as an example of success so Chelsea owners are leaning towards seeing the Chelsea squad be coached by young coaches next season and for now it looks like there are several coaches who might become Chelsea coaches next season such as Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton), Vincent Kompany (Burnley), Kieran McKenna (ipswich town), and Sebastian Hoeness (Stuttgart).

I think Pochettino is already very comfortable at Chelsea and he is also quite confident that he can take Chelsea in a better direction next season, but all decisions are in the hands of Todd Boehly who has been the owner of Chelsea in recent years, at the moment it seems that Todd Boehly does not like the slow process of Chelsea revival after they spent a lot of money in the previous transfer market,  In addition, Todd Boehly seems to be more interested in approaching coaches who are indeed young and certainly will not interfere in player transfer matters that have been controlled by Todd Boehly.

Indeed, this news is quite surprising because after all, Pochettino is also still able and managed to make Chelsea get a Conference League ticket. Although it is still far to be able to finish in the topfour but at least, Pochettino still has a good effort and it was proven at the end of theseason that Pochettino also managed to improve the quality of Chelsea, and Pochettino also managed to make Chelsea finish in the top six. Because anyway, if we compare it with Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham I think Pochettino is still better because he is able to rise even though the pressure he has to face is so heavy and certainly not easy.

The conference league may not be very pleasant for the Chelsea owner, but honestly it is one of the best things that Pochettino can give, especially if you see how difficult it is for this team to get points at the start.
Chelsea are targeting younger coaches, has what happened at Bayer Leverkusen inspired them? Vincent Kompany's name is reportedly on the list as a replacement for Pochettino.
Kompany was very impressive when he was able to bring Burnley up to the English premier league but unfortunately, he couldn't do much because Burnley had to go to the championships again.
Not sure what will happen to Chelsea in the new season, continuing to change coaches is likely to make this team start from scratch because the transition period is never easy for new coaches also players.

I think it's too stupid to change coaches once a season, basically not only players who have to be able to adapt but coaches also need time to understand the opportunities in a team to improve their performance and it takes time to develop a team to reach the expected target, I think Todd is too selfish to keep changing coaches without him realizing what strength is built for a long time.

Pochettino although did struggle at the beginning of the season until the middle but at the end of the league he began to improve and began to understand how to utilize the potential in the Chelsea squad to be in 6th place at the end of the season, it is not an easy thing for anyone and any coach, if the focus is only a target without seeing what an adjustment is then I think Chelsea will get worse not better one day.

[Warkop]

If you don't have a harmonious relationship with management and fans, it is very difficult for anyone to survive and the pressure becomes greater. Pochettino is a good manager, but he is not given enough time with such big targets. The Premier League is a very tight competition so it is not easy for anyone to succeed there. Todd Boehly may have spent quite a lot of money and he was disappointed with the unsatisfactory results, but apart from that, if he clashes with the manager quite often it will be difficult for Chelsea to develop.

I agree that a harmonious relationship between management and fans is very important to make a team successful, because if management does not have fans it is impossible for a team to be successful in the future. The pressure and mentality that managers will face in the Premier League is indeed very big to be tested, because this is a big competition with lots of tough competitors from any team competing in this competition. It is true that Pochettino is known as a good manager, but this is because the game strategy patterns provided by Pochettino are not well developed for the team so that his play looks inconsistent in the matches he plays. It is true that Todd Boehly feels very disappointed with this, but in my opinion this is a definite risk for management to fund their club, whatever the conditions.

If you are a true fan, you will never think of leaving the team just because of this decision of changing or sacking Pochettihnho; if you are a real Chelsea fan, you should have been used to different coaches because Chelsea is a team that don’t usually give coaches long time like Arsenal and Manchester United.

The new Chelsea owners are not actually trying, they don’t believe in any long term process of building team, that is why they are sacking their managers after a failed season, and I don’t think doing so will give the team the best performance they need; over changing managers can even lead the team to downfall because any new coach have to start from beginning and sign another players he feel can do better for him which is another expenses for the team and it will trigger some players to easily leave the club.

Ten Hag to Chelsea? here we go!!! The Netherlands give a special mission for Ten Hag to ruin Chelsea after he successfully ruined Manchester United.

haha Although it seems very bitter to listen to you. But I agree with you. We see no improvement in Manchester United's performance with Ten Hag. Rather, I have seen Manchester United's performance deteriorate day by day. If Chelsea management coach Ten Hag as Pochettino's replacement, I can't call it a good decision. This will be another bad decision by Chelsea management.

I don't know if this is a credible news. However, this is likely to happen. Pochettino decided to not be with Chelsea anymore.   Maybe he's not happy with Chelsea Management's Behaviour.   Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is not satisfied with their coach Tucle. Munich is third in Bundesliga this season. Such a bad performance Munich has not been done in the past 5 years. Bayern Munich could not even occupy the second place.   So it is fairly certain that Munich will appoint a new coach next season.
Ten Hag can make any improvement in Manchester United.   Day by day we are seeing United's fall.   Ten Hag could not strengthen the Manchester United team despite having big funds. So United Management is also looking for a new coach.   Manchester United Management can make POCH a new coach as an alternative to Ten Hag.

It's better for him to join Manchester United, it's easier to improving weak teams to better rather than improving strong teams to be greatest. As we can see even Chelsea didn't become a champion, many people thankful to Pochettino.
Liverpool is expected to be weak team in the next season, so Manchester United has better chance to step up.

I agree with you. Joining Manchester United would be the right decision for Pochettino. Manchett's United already have a strong squad. At the same time, Pochettino will have the funds he needs to buy players and strengthen the squad. So Pochettino can take the necessary steps to stabilize the Manchester United team. I would be happy to see Pochettino with the Manchester United squad.

It's also boring for me to see the same team winning year after year. It's undeniable how close this Arsenal team came to the title, but they were unlucky because their contenders stayed consistent at the end of the season and made no single mistakes. Arsenal and Man City are both great teams, but only one can win the title. I wish Arsenal the best of luck next season.
And of-course we have to appreciate that Pep has built an incredible team under his reign. Winning four EPL in a row is unbelievable. Even though repeating last season's treble won't happen, but the possibility of a domestic double is almost certain. Pep will easily win the FA Cup because Man United doesn't have a quality coach or keeper.

Yes, even though it's boring, we also can't do anything if each club has shown its best performance in one season. Usually clubs that have won the title for several seasons are always the favorites to win again if the club is still in strong condition and Manchester City is still in strong condition and not experiencing a decline in performance, if this club changes coaches or experiences a decline, it is possible that Manchester City will not win the title in 4 consecutive seasons because the Premier League is a competitive league where every competition is quite difficult and every club definitely has difficulty competing there. However, Arsenal and Manchester City have been able to compete in the title race in the last 2 seasons, meaning they still both have strong performances.

And Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City and he is no doubt the coach of this club and is always successful in the Premier League so I think if Pep is still at Manchester City for a long time and continues to extend his contract Manchester City will continue to win titles. I'm not sure Mikel Arteta can beat his former manager because tactically it's clear that Pep Guardiola is superior to Mikel Arteta and over time the Premier League will become a farmers' league if that's always the winner.

[junder]

I think, Arsenal really performed well in this season compared to last season that made them to ended up in third position, but they tried their possible best to win the title this season but Manchester city never allow such opportunity to come to Arsenal that made them to ended up in second position. Based on what they displayed in this season, i think there is a hope for them to break the record next season because their coach will like to use the summer to sign in potential players that will make Arsenal team more stronger, because they have the funds to finance the signing. Aston villa and Chelsea, I know they will going to join the group of teams that will maintain a top position in the premier league competition next season, because they performed well to come closed to the top teams in this season.

It's true, this season of course Arsenal are better than last season, even though they failed to win the EPL this season but of course changes have been seen with them being able to finish in second place, this is quite good, because they had the opportunity to win but failed because there were Manchester City still dominates the League. Arsenal's good performance deserves appreciation because of course Arsenal have done their best this season so they can be in second place. but they are still not lucky, because Manchester City is stronger and has better performance so they can win the EPL.

Arsenal need to improve their performance a little for next season, because Arsenal has the opportunity to perform better next season to become a strong team and perhaps be able to compete with Manchester City. With the funds they have, of course they can recruit quality players to make Arsenal stronger next season.

It's true that true fans won't do that and will be there to support even when the club conditions are bad. But I can understand some seasonal fans and that's their right, so if you want to find a team that feels they should win the league every season then for now it's Manchester City, and if the middle of the road isn't suitable then move again. In essence, he is not a fan of the club, but a fan of the trophy to whichever club the trophy falls means he is a fan.

Imao Chelsea this season is quite good, even though they didn't qualify for the UCL or Europa League, but when compared with last season's progress we should be able to see positive developments. Losing and winning is normal, however we also don't like criticizing Chelsea performance in several matches. As a football lover I can only enjoy it until the end of the season.

[Elon_gida]

I think Manchester City can aim for the final victory this year and make up for the disappointments they had last year

mancity had a dissapointment last year? they seem to be a cheat team to be, absolutely no way they are'nt going to win the championship

[ancafe]

It was Chelsea's condition that made Pochettino leave. He felt uncomfortable at Chelsea.  It seems that this achievement is not considered a good achievement. The management is not satisfied with the current conditions, so they are never satisfied with Pochettino's achievements. Actually, changing coaches only makes time increase to wait for better achievements or maybe even they can fail. Pochettino should stay at least 1 more year, if he has good progress, they can increase the duration of the contract. I want to see how later they develop or get worse.

Achieving quick success is not easy in football and changing coaches will definitely have an impact on the team. Pochettino does not have the abilities of some other great coaches, but he succeeded in bringing Chelsea to a much better place in the standings. If management can provide support then Pochettino can definitely give his best for the next few seasons, but in the English league that is difficult because they want the title.

This season there will be a change of new coach and it is not guaranteed that Chelsea will be able to compete for the title. Because there is a lot of work that must be done by the new coach and the competition in the English league will be very different and it takes a lot of things to make the team stronger in the competition.

[bitgolden]

Chelsea keeps firing manager after manager every year, firing Tuchel the moment new owner came in (that was obviously some office guys like director or consultant or whatever hating him) and then Potter and Pochettino now, basically we are talking about Chelsea keep firing managers all the time and there is really nothing that can benefit them from this at all.

They need to realize that Arteta didn't do so well on their first ever year, even when City was bought, they didn't win right away, basically these things take time and they need to realize that they are getting a very good team and a young one, so if they keep a manager then they could just simply end up with getting better and better with time, can't keep firing managers.

[gabbie2010]

However, Arsenal and Manchester City have been able to compete in the title race in the last 2 seasons, meaning they still both have strong performances.

In my opinion other top teams who ought to have challenge Man City for the title were all shadow of former self with exception of Arsenal, I expected teams like Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham to give Man City a run of their money unfortunately they couldn't live up many fans expectations, though I give credit to Guardiola for putting up a formidable squad despite selling some his quality players at the beginning of season yet against all odds clinched the league title for four consecutive time thus breaking a record in EPL, well the season is gone, however I believe other top teams would boost their squad and sign quality players for next season so as to stop Man City winning another title.

[masulum]

This is not Manchester City's fault, but rather the mistakes and inability of other teams to compete for the title. In the last two seasons, Arsenal was able to provide the best competition for Manchester City in the title race, but Arsenal failed in the second half, especially towards the end of the season. Manchester City, which has quality coaches and players, is clearly capable of dominating, but that is normal when the team is managed well and the players' performance can be expected.

Of course I'm not saying this is Man City's fault, but what I mean is the bad conditions experienced by Chelsea, MU of course has been a bonus for City, Liverpool, Arsenal put pressure on City, but in the end City was able to become champion because of the mistakes made by Liverpool and Arsenal. If Liverpool and Arsenal had not made mistakes in the last 20 matches with several lose, maybe we would have seen Liverpool and Arsenal competing for the championship. This may be considered more interesting by some people, than seeing the competition between Arsenal and City where in the end City became champion.

[hahay]

Yes indeed, and from one of the sources available also that Pochettino was not included in the plan to recruit players and also release players. With these differences, there was tension between them until finally Pochettino chose to leave. But indeed, it also seems like an attempt for Chelsea to sack Pochettino and I think it might not be a good decision either. Because anyway, Pochettino also stillmanaged to make Chelsea recover at the end of theseason despite only being able to finish in the top six butstill, it was also still a good result for Chelsea.

But indeed,  it seems to have become a tradition forChelsea to sack the coach when the coach fails to make Chelsea compete in the top four.  But anyway, if they continue to sack the coach like that. Then ofcourse, it will be difficult for Chelsea to form a solid team throughout the season, because the change of coach like that will certainly require a lot of time to adjust and adapt.

I think have bad tactician if Chelsea change head coach every season and new head coach need time for adapting with his tactician for next season regarding with Pochettino needed almost one season how to make Chelsea success finish on 6th standings position. Building new team with new tactician need time exactly with the next manager after Pochettino has some players not in their scheme, need new player signing and build up new tactician for adopting well but Chelsea's management has target must be qualify to Champion League for next season or keep in the Premier League tittle race.

Since new era after leaving by Abramovich as Chelsea owner get many internal problem and inconsistency of manager without one year have sacked from his position. I doubt for new Chelsea manager for next season how short become manager behind many previous manager got sack without one season and only Pochettino success completed until one season.
Next who will be new Chelsea's manager candidate and potential will make huge rotation by selling old players under Pochettino era or keep fully trusted 100% with the previous squad dominance by youth players.

But indeed,  it seems to have become a tradition forChelsea to sack the coach when the coach fails to make Chelsea compete in the top four.  But anyway, if they continue to sack the coach like that. Then ofcourse, it will be difficult for Chelsea to form a solid team throughout the season, because the change of coach like that will certainly require a lot of time to adjust and adapt.

This problem is also faced to Manchester United too, the fans and managements always like to sack the manager when Manchester United didn't qualify for Champions League or didn't become a champion in top competition.

Both of the teams need to learn if Rome wasn't built in a day, process is really important. It's only exception if the team is full of star players and can perform like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, if they didn't win, it's due to the manager.
