Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[entertheabyss]

Will there be? It is quite likely that Manchester United with the way they are playing now will struggle for the top 6 at all, a top four is out of the question. The management are still thinking about whether to sack him. I honestly don't understand why they are thinking - one trophy per season is not an indicator and everyone has already seen what Ten Hag can do at the helm of MU. Coaches need to be changed sooner or later anyway, I think Ten Hag's time has come

The English Premier League is tougher than we all anticipated it to be and there's more to accomplish with the current form of Manchester United. The headcoach of Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag should know exactly what he wants and he's doing quite an excellent job in Old Trafford. He's always delivering his club when they do need him. This is football and we can never predict them because everything always go outside our plans. There's more to football than mere playing on the field, we have the trophies section which is demanding.

[Jegileman]

Everything needs a process and Manchester United has fallen so badly that it is not easy for them to get up.
At the moment there is no news about Ten Hag's future, but I am very sure that he will stay at Manchester United and if Manchester United is able to bring in several new players, I am quite sure that Ten Hag will be able to make Manchester United better next season.

Ten Hag’s future still remain uncertain as the Manchester United board haven’t said anything concerning his future in the club even after winning the FA Cup final. The club needs to be revamped at all cost in the soonest because the future of the club is not looking safer in the hands of Ten Hag again. He has done well to win the FA Cup final, but that’s is not enough to keep him with the club because he should have done better in the premier league where every team wants to finish as the best and the competition is more fierce. If not for the win in the FA cup, they won't be in Europa League next season but European Conference League which I know they must have wanted to participate in the champions league at the end of the season.

I personally don't think about the FA Cup trophy but at least, I still appreciate Erik ten Hag's efforts which still succeeded in getting Manchester United a Europa League ticket. Although it is true, compared to the previous season, Manchester United experienced a decline in performance, however, the decline experienced by Manchester United also did not make Manchester United fall to the bottom of the standings. After all, because Manchester United is still able to compete at least in the top eight, at least it is still fine. But indeed, if they hope for better and more consistent results then changing coaches is indeed a good choice. But still, changing coaches will not enable Manchester United to become strong in the top four quickly, because of course the new coach also needs time to produce good results.

Wait a minute, is Manchester United going to play in the Europa League because they have been able to win the FA Cup?

currently, it says that Manchester United is going to play in the Europa League. And they have finished in the eighth position. But it says that Tottenham and Manchester United are going to play in the Europa League. I do not understand this. Can anyone explain? Why it is not Chelsea playing in the Europa League? And Manchester United supposed to play in the conference league? After playing so badly, Manchester United is going to play in the Europa League? They definitely do not deserve that.

There are some rules you have to know...

• The winners of the Europa League is automatically qualified for next year Champions League irrespective of where they finished in the table.
• The winners of the conference League also automatically qualifies for Europa League next season irrespective of where they end the season in the table.
• The winners of the FA cup has an automatic ticket to the Europa League

And some other rules yiu need to be aware of. This is the reason some leagues feature more clubs than others in a certain European competition.

[lalabotax]

And the funny thing is that at the Man United club, conflicts often occur between players or even players and coaches. I don't know why Erik ten Hag always gets more pros and cons. And now there are those who support it and those who don't.

Yes, the problem is that the club management is also having problems, or something is wrong. In a united state, management, coaches/football managers, and players should be solid so that at least the club can work side by side to achieve their goals and targets. but this is quite different. I don't know, sometimes they quite agree, but often the decisions and conditions they present are quite controversial. However, if Ten Hag leaves Man United, who can make this club progress? The reason is, the problem is complex, while they must be held to high demands by the club and also the fans. Therefore, the challenge is very high if their new coach wants to replace Ten Hag at Man United.

• The winners of the conference League also automatically qualifies for Europa League next season irrespective of where they end the season in the table.

Indeed. That's why even though Man United is in 8th position in the standings, even lower than Newcastle, Man United managed to enter the UEFA Europa League. because Manchester United managed to win the FA Cup after beating Man City.

It will indeed happen because there are rules like that when they win the FA Cup then there is definitely a guarantee to qualify for the Europa League and things like this are not much different from those who won the Conference League then it will be in the Europa League and for those who win the Europa League then it will automatically go directly to the Champions League.

That is a special ticket and for Manchester United at the moment they are actually saved by winning the FA Cup against Manchester City some time ago because that is how they can be directly in the Europa League even though they are ranked in 8th position for the domestic competition.
It's just that it becomes pressure too actually because being an EPL representative is not as easy as expected considering that currently the EPL is one of the biggest competitions in Europe so that the appearance of EPL representatives in any competition will be highlighted more so this is a big responsibility, do not let the bottom of the standings like the Champions League this season happen again in the Europa League for Manchester United.

Chelsea has finished in the sixth position. That is definitely a great turnaround from them. At one point it actually looked like they were going to finish towards the relegation zone.

I never expected Chelsea to end the season in the top six because of their poor performance at the beginning of the season. Chelsea's performance towards the end of the season was just surprising to me, no one expected Chelsea's performance to improve towards the end of the season. I knew Chelsea wouldn’t be ending the season in the relegation zone, but I was expecting Chelsea to end the season in the middle of the table. I was just surprised to see Chelsea win their last five matches in a row, which really helped them climb the table to 6th position.

The fact that some United fans still want Erik tan hag is very very confusing to me. I get that he won the FA cup, which is lovely and I am not against that at all, but that team finished 8th in the league, that is not United level of result you can't be happy with a manager who made the team 8th.

I mean I get that there were a lot of injuries, which is terrible that is true and some of the results were because of the injuries, meaning that he is not the only responsible party here, it's just life. However, even with that he shouldn't have done this badly with that much money spent on transfers that he wanted. I believe that anything out of top four was unacceptable and he should be fired to get someone much better instead.

Not all United fans want Erik Ten Hag to be fired, and there are also many United fans who want him to stay at Man United. This of course has pros and cons. However, if you look at Erik Tan Hag's achievements at Man United in the last two seasons, it's not too bad considering that many players are injured, this is not an excuse, but if many players are injured, of course. Erik Tan Hag's strategy will not go according to plan. Erik Ten Hag's performance in two seasons was also not too bad, Man United managed to enter the final three times, two of which won trophies. Even though Man United finished eighth in the EPL league standings, I think he has the right to be kept. Plus, thanks to winning the FA Cup, Man United can play in the Europa League, so this isn't too bad for Erik Ten Hag.

Because if you want to change coaches it's the same, it could even make things worse, that's been happening since SAF retired. The change of coach has not resulted in success for Man United. So it is natural that Man United still believes in Erik Tanhag to build the team next season. Maybe fans have to be patient, it takes a process for Erik ten Hag to build a strong squad because it's not as easy as turning the palm of your hand to become a good team.

Manchester United ending the league with 8th position does not mean Eric ten Hag is not a good coach. Sometimes when a team ends up with poor position it is not always the fault of the coach . For me I think ten Hag is not a bad coach,  the players in Manchester United are the main reason why Manchester United performance was bad for the season.  Most of the players in Manchester United are playing with no passion,  motivation to win their games. Manchester United have good players but it seems they lack the winning mentality, this players needs to be changed in next season.  If Manchester United should work with another coach it can even make everything to be difficult.

Actually in this case I don't want to say Ten Hag is a bad coach because indeed he is still one of the great coaches but indeed at Manchester United he doesn't have that much chemistry to build a good performance but that doesn't mean he is bad just not suitable for the EPL atmosphere.

He could coach well at Ajax for several seasons which proved that he was good enough as a coach but in the end he had to realize that the EPL did not seem to be the market he should go to because the pressure was too great for Ten Hag. So that rather than being forced it will only waste greater trust and respect especially with his very high egoistic attitude making the players finally start feuding again and again with him even though as a coach things like this must be avoided because it can disrupt the balance of the club.
It is actually a wise thing if Manchester United are looking for a replacement option even though 2 Ten Hag trophies have been won in the last 2 seasons but that does not prove that Mancehster United's performance is better.

Chelsea performance was awful, the late surge of good performances does not negate that fact. The team started to perform after there was no pressure requested or required to win points

Knocked out of all cup championships and struggled to finish 6. That’s a poor season

Yes, everyone is aware of Manchester United's bad performance this season, and it is very bad to see a club like Manchester United struggling to get a place in the Europa League competition next season. Manchester United's last-season performances were better than this by far. I don't know what really caused their poor performance this season, and with the set of quality players Manchester United have, I don't even expect them to end in this position this season. Ten Hag is not that bad a coach from his records, but I don't know why his finding  it hard in Manchester United, but I know it is time if they can give Ten Hag more time in Manchester United. I believe it will one day achieve what are all the fans are expecting from him, and take the  club to the level they belong to.

If Chelsea's performance was awful, how do we describe that of United who were far above Chelsea but later on finished below them. Everyone knows from the start of the season,  Chelsea had it all wrong and most people felt nothing much could be done, guess it took a different turn. We now believe that Chelsea will do better next season than the way they ended this season. You said started performing lately when there is less pressure, forgetting that it is the worst time to lose any game because it will be very difficult to retrieve back points from any of the matches lost, example on what happened to United.

Bro, my own opinion and assessment to this issue may be different from yours but for me that is what a good manager does when he comes to a team. To mend the forces and make things work for a faulted team. Let's take for instance, Manchester United was in their worse state of affairs and performance when Ten Hag came into the club. What I seriously expected from him was to right the wrongs and set the record straight for the club. This is what big coaches do. This is the point to which you should appreciate the likes of Xavi of Barcelona and Arteta of Arsenal. Instead, Ten Hag was having series of issues with his star players and had to bench the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo when he was heavily paid by the club to deliver in his task as top player in the club.

Mauricio Pochettino did an excellent task by elevating the Blues to 6th position, but Manchester United winning Manchester City in the FA Cup final automatically make them qualify for the Europa League and this is bad news for Chelsea. They will settle for the Conference League. The Blues will do great standings and winning will become important on their end. On the records, Chelsea didn't have a solid planning in the early starting of the English Premier League this season. It was one of the rough runs for the club under the regime of Mauricio Pochettino but things getting ready to become complex.

Like you did said it's your taught tho, and everyone has got a right to their taughts because probably it's how they feel about the issue on ground but from a different angle you will agree with me that a poor performance for two seasons isn't just about the players anymore as there's definitely linkage with the coach in situations as such most definitely, you may want to think that ten hag did all he could but I'm of the opinion that he could have done even better.

There are situation where a team has gotten a poor performance and a new coach comes in and whit his influence, even without getting to buy new players the team gets to experience an almost immediate improvement because the coach has got good tactics and strategy and aswell names sure to communicate well with the players such that it serves as a morale boost to his players and they get to improve beyond their normal form because therea someone who believes in them even when others see them less but with ten hag it's seem different as there have been reported cases of them having issues in the dress room just before games and that alone is enough to affect the psychology of players well enough.

Getting another coach for Manchester united at this time is the best they can do because even if they would want to sell players, not all of the players can be sold off at once, and what if the good players aren't in a very good or perfect terms with ten hag, then the team is set to still suffer another era of set backs again but with a new coach, these players gets the chances to see how well they can get the team back to its glory days.

Chelsea not being able to make to Europa League based on the fact that Manchester United won Manchester City at the fa Cup final made me disappointed and really don't miss Poch much, though still have to give him credit when did a good job of finishing 6th even above Manchester United since it has been somehow long when last we finished above them in the EPL though they still beat us to the Europa League and we are left with the Conference league sigh.

The new Chelsea coach I don't have my hopes high on him, if he do great wonderful while if he do poorly he should sacked early enough, I don't just care about how tactical he maybe or Chelsea players he as once work with and even his oast achievements because to me he is a mid coach and above the hype he may perform poorly like Potter who was pretty good until he came to Chelsea and we all knows what happened next.

On the records, Chelsea didn't have a solid planning in the early starting of the English Premier League this season. It was one of the rough runs for the club under the regime of Mauricio Pochettino but things getting ready to become complex.

I believe this was from the fact that we were not having any attacker to score while also midfielders were also bad at goals which was the issue.
Jackson did well in pre season including Nkunku but when the season started one was injured and the other was just to bad at scoring and this continued even till season ending while the only attacker to step up was Cole Palmer though Sterling was somehow trying but became too inconsistent that we can say he was a disappointing also not until season ending when these players got some level of consistency and we saw a good improvement to finish 6th.
Another good thing was the fact that we had to drop Sanchez and focus on using Petrovic really made things better while our defense was still shaky though

I think Chelsea's young squad will have difficulty integrating with the new coach in the 2024\25 season.

The Blues have parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season in charge. An impressive series of matches at the end of the season helped them finish the Premier League in 6th place. In the end, Chelsea played football where everyone thought "Oh, they can come back" and then they fired the manager. I believe this decision does not receive the support of many players in the Chelsea squad. And even the fans. He is a good manager and always knows how to motivate when players are down. He had a tough job here as half the squad was injured during the season, including key players. Finishing 6th place, this can be considered a successful season.

I just checked the standings and it's true that Manchester United got a ticket to the Europa League, I just found out that through the FA Cup a team can get ticket lol. Chelsea's struggles have been in vain in the last 2 months even though we know that Chelsea is also eyeing ticket to the European League, if Chelsea had more matches scheduled, maybe they could secure a top 5 position because they are one of the most impressive teams in the last 5 matches.

By the way, I highlight one of the Chelsea players, Cole Palmer he has been impressive this season and has scored 22 goals only 5 goals behind Haaland who won the golden boot, I'm sure these two players will compete with each other next season and Cole Palmer has the potential to take over the list of top scorers if he finds the right partner.

[TopT3ns]

• The winners of the conference League also automatically qualifies for Europa League next season irrespective of where they end the season in the table.

Indeed. That's why even though Man United is in 8th position in the standings, even lower than Newcastle, Man United managed to enter the UEFA Europa League. because Manchester United managed to win the FA Cup after beating Man City.

This is a good achievement for Manchester United to beat Manchester City. This is the start for Manchester United to further develop strategies that they can use to become champions of the English League next season which will start soon. So far Manchester United's journey is no longer what it used to be, so they have to get up. Manchester United fans and supporters have longed for the moment they lifted the trophy again.
