Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Jegileman]

Of course only Guardiola is better than Ten Hag because he's talking about the baldest manager in Premier League, obviously Ten Hag is the second since his head isn't that clean. But if we're talking about the best manager in Premier League, he might be in rank 10 or lower since he manage a high market value team, but he can't bring the team to become a champion or at least finish on top 4.

This is not something to be hateful of him about, he’s definitely talking about the number of trophies he has won since he joined Manchester United. No any other team’s coach have won more than him since he joined the premier league than Manchester City’s coach, Guardiola. I am sure that’s where the comparison is coming from and not by finishing in the top ranks of the league table or a position that gives qualification to the champions league every season. It is good to hail yourself for a job well done and I can see that this is where the self praise is coming from.

Ten Hag cannot be compared with Guardiola, in terms of baldness, Guardiola's head is cleaner and smoother than Ten Hag, in terms of ability to handle a team, Guardiola is much more experienced and accomplished with the club he handles. It is impossible to equate teachers with students, Ten Hag once served as Guardiola's assistant and he learned a lot from him.

That’s weird, having to consider just how bald they both are for any comparison. Perhaps it’s got something to do with their performance as coaches does it? I guess not.
However, I don’t agree with the fact that, you can’t equate a teacher with his students. The fact that Ten Hag had some time on Pep to gain in on his insights and how to manage the game simply means he ought to be doing great at the job.
Take a good look at Arteta for example, he haven’t got the top class players that he would have wanted, haven’t got a shot load of resource on his balance but have somehow, managed to bring Arsenal to such class that, it’s one of the fierce team to play against in the EPL. That’s what you expect of a manager.

Comparing Erik Ten Hag with Pep Guardiola is currently very unrealistic, even in the next 4-5 seasons Erik Ten Hag will not necessarily be able to match Pep Guardiola in terms of quality, achievements and track record. I know Erik Ten Hag is trying to be optimistic, but apart from that he also needs to see the extent of his struggle in the EPL with the extent to which Pep Guardiola has provided success. It could be said that Erik Ten Hag is just starting out so comparing him now is not quite right. Wouldn't it be better to have more achievements than the babbling that Erik Ten Hag needs to do? Just bragging is not enough to admit that he is better than Pep Guardiola.

Since I knew Pep Guardiola is been have wonderful achievements and currently he is not looking as if he has lose that form and I believe that habit of his winning is still with him, comparing Pep Guardiola to Erik Ten Hag I will say it as a big mistake, because Erik Ten Hag also testify that is only Pep Guardiola that has done better than him in last season, assuming Arsenal secure a trophy I don't think he will say that, Pep Guardiola in any way either in performance or in records is far far ahead of Erik Ten Hag, but let see how this season will be since Erik Ten Hag have a enough fund to get himself the good players he thinks that can help in out on the critical conditions.

[Jatiluhung]

The pre-season match schedule for today is Man City vs Celtic and Southampton vs Bordeaux. Meanwhile, for tomorrow's pre-season matches, we will look at the pre-season matches Chelsea vs Wrexham and Arsenal vs Bournemouth. There is nothing special about these pre-season matches. It's just that several clubs seem to be using some of the new players they have brought in from the transfer market and this might be quite interesting for those who are curious about the quality of these new players at their respective new clubs. I might be quite curious about Chelsea's pre-season match because this club will have their first pre-season match with a new coach and several new players. I'm curious whether the results will be good enough or not. Because even though this is a pre-season match, I think we will see a small picture of Chelsea's new coach's strategy.

Only Guardiola has been better than me — Erik ten Hag brags

This is the fifth year running that Manchester City has dominated the EPL. Pep Guardiola has dominated over every single manager in the EPL including Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and others. But Erik Ten Hag sees things differently, he says Pep Guardiola is the only manager to have won more trophies than him in recent times. In the past two years where ETH has been Manchester United’s manger, he’s had two trophies to show in his acquisition. But by the standard of Manchester United, this shouldn’t be something to brag about. They have fallen down the pecking order. Manchester United Standard should be competing for league dominance and fighting for UEFA Champions league.

Looking at the stats and the performance of Manchester United in the last two seasons. Do you think Erik Ten Hag has bragging rights?

Why are too lazy to go on to watch the actual video and interview? Why not go ahead to verify before you misinform people here about what Erik Ten Hag didn't say. What nonsense is this actually? I'm so disappointed with a whole lot of you here, all you do is slander Erik Ten Hag. Why are y'all so pained?
The caption is wrong, Erik Ten Hag never uttered such words. He said, since he was appointed manager by Manchester United, Pep Guardiola has been the only manager that has won more trophies than and him and he is not wrong.

For your information, Erik Ten Hag wasn't dragging nor bragging shiit with nobody, it's a no brainer to compare himself with Josep Pep Guardiola. You didn't verify the information only to come on your to post BULLSHIT!

Even before Erik Ten Hag came in, Manchester United was already a sinking titanic. Ralf Rangnick knew this and he called out the management to wipe out the squad because they have had poor standard over the years.

[Pokapoka124]

Erik Ten Hag hasn’t won the EPL in the last two years. Manchester United cannot boast of being considered as contenders for the league title. When it comes to top contenders for the EPL title, just three teams comes to mind; Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. I would put these managers ahead of Erik Ten Hag any day and time.

ETH has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but that is not what the fans what. Those trophies are like a compensation for the shortcomings of the team, the bragging rights of an English club has to be winning the EPL or Champions league trophy.

I know you're piss with the whole misinformation, I wouldn't blame the user because I see it as means to grab attentions to his or her posts. This forum constitutes whole members and most of them are busy fighting their way through for merit and other personal rewards, it's all lined out for our priorities.

Back to the prepositional posts made, Erik Ten Hag and Pep Guardiola are all on different measures and we know simply the coaching patterns of these managers. Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly the best manager in the English Premier League with more titles accomplished in the past seasons. The records are set out and its simple for everyone of us to know the true stats of these managers.

What does he want to brag about? What has he achieved that he want to brag about actually, i have not noticed anything different since his arrival other than the team performance becoming more and more unstable with time. Both the fans and management are not convinced with his work so far so I don’t think he has anything to brag about, winning two trophies is good but the overall performance is not so good, the team lacks consistency so how is he even able to compare himself with the likes of Guardiola. He still not up to the level he thinks of himself yet, if he is able to take United back to their glory days then maybe he might get close.

Of course only Guardiola is better than Ten Hag because he's talking about the baldest manager in Premier League, obviously Ten Hag is the second since his head isn't that clean. But if we're talking about the best manager in Premier League, he might be in rank 10 or lower since he manage a high market value team, but he can't bring the team to become a champion or at least finish on top 4.

Very funny, so even when talking about the baldest he is still not superior to Guardiola LOL… that just show how terrible he is, i agree with you anout his ranking in top managers in the league because he has so much money to spend and have spent quite alot in the past but still couldn’t bring out the best in them that’s really terrible of him.

But at least Erik Ten Hag has indeed proven that his arrival in the first season at Man United brought quite good results at that time. Because in the season before Ten Hag's arrival, we know that Man United could only get 6th place in the 2022 Premier League standings. And then when Erik Ten Hag arrived, he was immediately able to bring Man United to 3rd place in the standings, namely in the 2023 season. It's just that last season, that is. In the 2024 season, Erik ten Hag actually destroyed his reputation again because Man United experienced a deeper fall because they finished in 8th place. And that was indeed one of the worst that the Man United club has ever had. I and many other people here don't like Erik Ten Hag's personality. But I have to admit that in making strategies in the field. But he is not good at building relationships with players. And that is the weakness of Ten Hag. And sometimes his overly confident way of speaking always brings a lot of controversy. Well this is nothing strange. And this is a common thing to happen. What is clear is that ETH is not comparable and is still far from Pep.

Just bragging is not enough to admit that he is better than Pep Guardiola.

To be honest, I'm not too interested in comparing coaches. For me personally, Pep Guardiola is a coach who has many ways regarding his strategy and system. he is a unique coach, tough and has an impressive record. while Ten Hag, a coach who both promotes modern football. The difference is, he often plays a quick one or two touch game. plus, has quite effective counterattack tactics. he is quite strict and disciplined. Regarding achievements, it is clear that we know very well that Pep is much better. It's just that Ten Hag doesn't have many opportunities to coach elite clubs. his presence with United, the club and the team are not in much better condition than before. In fact, The Red Devils had minimal titles at that time. I can't compare the two, because these two trainers have different characteristics. But in terms of play, Ten Hag is actually also able to make United much better. Moreover, Ten Hag is given the same freedom as Pep Guardiola in purchasing players. plus, City is an established team and they already have solid foundations. while United, after Ferguson retired, everything went downhill. What is clear is that these two managers will do their best to make their teams competitive. If we really have to compare, for now the answer is very easy if we refer to the trophies won by these two coaches.

Your interpretation of the post does not reflect the my views or the content posted. Read the hyperlink in the post before you start crying. Erik Ten Hag did say “Of course [I feel stronger after winning the FA Cup]. This club didn’t win trophies before I came for six years. In two years, after Guardiola, we won the most trophies in English football. So we are in a strong position. Look, we can beat every opponent. Not one time, more than one time against City and also against Liverpool.”

Now let’s face the facts of the matter. Do I hate ETH? No. Do I think he’s been one of the best managers in last two years? No I do not. Did ETH insinuate that he has the best side other than Manchester City? Yes! He may not have compared himself to Pep Guardiola par say but he did insinuate that he’s done better than the other managers in the EPL in the last two years.  I understand how some Manchester United fans might be triggered by this post but it is what it is. Btw now that I know you’re a United fan. I can troll you when your team loses a game next season.

The two FA Cup trophies he lifted in his two seasons made him think of these statement that only Pep is better than him. Although if we looked at it in that aspect, he can be right, but for Manchester United that is a bigger team than Ajax he formally managed, the two trophies is not enough for him to brag; he should remember the team’s absence in the Champions League because as a big team, they need Champions League football to be complete.
Ten Hag wants to leave for some seasons in Manchester United which is why he is making such statements to make people thinks that he is better than Arteta since he only win one trophy in his first four to five seasons in charge of Arsenal.

I don't know why people will even be of the opinion that Eric ten hag is better than arteta, I mean if you have seen what arteta has done with this arsenal team then that point of opinion will be changed because if not for the unlucky nature of the gunners I believe by now bagging the premier would have been a story of the past but on every beautiful occasion that they have tried they all went so unlucky but their efforts and improvement is something that can't go unrecognized.

There is no doubt we are having Arsenal better team after every season which is giving them good advantage for staying into top hunt and their approach and mentality is still having issues, but they are doing good work this season is going to be challenging because now its good time for them to end this deadlock and having trophy.

The way Arsenal Arsenal are making their performance some how different all this while i don’t knew is their main problem, because by the time the fans are making proud of them is they will turn there perform to poorly, to be honest even the way they started there performance last nobody expected that they will later left behind without achieving their goals. Because there performance was extremely good right from the beginning of the season, they didn’t have so much challenges.

Pepe is having long experience and things are well organized for him in Manchester City, but Arsenal were facing some problems which are now fixed by Mikel Arteta, and they are bringing quality players which will also have suitable replacements.

Actually Arsenal are facing some issues, but the issues is not that much and with how i trust the Mikel Arteta it will try as much as possible to fix all the issues before the next season league should kickoff. Although that is Mikel Arteta wanted to sign in more players to the arsenal team if he make that possible the team what become very standard them before, we know that even the currently player’s are doing well but he brings another quality players now not all the clubs can able to compete with Arsenal.

[iBaba]

If United wants to have a good future, they must have a manager that goes along with players, not someone who sucks and keeps doing these mistakes and keep saying things that will upset the players. That doesn't make sense, for a rebuilding team, you need a manager who will keep the players happy, and get alone with them, befriend them, and try to make them better. Not someone who will fire a player just because the player disagreed with him, or think having under 2.00 averages is fine.

I don't think the Manchester United club will enjoy using the manager in the next season due to his high degree of inconsistency in carrying the players to achieve their full performance. Ten Hag is a good coach and have the ability to win big matches and contest in far-reaching competitions but his problem remains his inability to manage little internal crisis between players and him.

[Frankolala]

This is not something to be hateful of him about, he’s definitely talking about the number of trophies he has won since he joined Manchester United. No any other team’s coach have won more than him since he joined the premier league than Manchester City’s coach, Guardiola. I am sure that’s where the comparison is coming from and not by finishing in the top ranks of the league table or a position that gives qualification to the champions league every season. It is good to hail yourself for a job well done and I can see that this is where the self praise is coming from.

Two trophies in two seasons is a good record but the poor performance of the club due to injuries was what will make his achievements look like it was a luck because his team were not in their best form last season and they were unable to qualify for UCL next season.

I believe we will see the best of Ten Hag next season because there are new fresh young players in the team currently and this should be an advantage for him to prove to the world that it was lack of players that caused those poor performance last season which made them to finish 8th position.

The pre-season match schedule for today is Man City vs Celtic and Southampton vs Bordeaux. Meanwhile, for tomorrow's pre-season matches, we will look at the pre-season matches Chelsea vs Wrexham and Arsenal vs Bournemouth. There is nothing special about these pre-season matches. It's just that several clubs seem to be using some of the new players they have brought in from the transfer market and this might be quite interesting for those who are curious about the quality of these new players at their respective new clubs.

I'm curious whether the results will be good enough or not. Because even though this is a pre-season match, I think we will see a small picture of Chelsea's new coach's strategy.

Nothing special but I would love to see my favorite team's performance and improvement before the Premier League starts officially kicking off with the first game in August. One importance of the pre-season matches I know is that they help to access new players that was bought to the team. How they can pair such players with others at a particular wing and also it helps in seeing how good the player is when it comes to teamwork and role-play. Apart from the benefits I mentioned so far, pre-season matches allow coaches to spend time working on their weaknesses, tactical skills, and technical ability.

Manchester United's performance in the last two seasons suggests they are not ready to win the Premier League title. However, Erik Ten Hag has won the FA Cup for the club, and there may be opportunities for the team to challenge Manchester City in the Premier League next season. let see how next season will be if Erik Ten Hag can challenge the hurt club in the premier league next season, and I think they can because am seeing they have buy new player to the team and making the club stronger then before.

Erik will most likely do his hardest to defeat Manchester City and other league opponents. I believe Manchester United will try to finish in the top four in the league and get the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, and now that they are in Europe, I am confident they will compete with the best and get the opportunity to win and qualify for the UCL at a low cost. Let us see how the next season goes and who gets the opportunity to win the title.

Yes Manchester United have definitely not been the club they use to me be since the departure of the legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, so this doesn’t have anything to do with Erik Ten Hag alone. In the past two years that he is been year I think the first year on United perspective was a successful with the club going back to the elite competition which is the champions league and then the second season which was last season was definitely not the best of Seasons but he still manages to cough out a trophy. Going by this stats it is easy to say par Guardiola he has done better than other managers since his arrival into the club.

Eric Ten Hag have tried his best to have one those two trophies during his time as the coach of the team so far. Every team needs trophy and it was because of the FA Cup that he won that made him to have a contract extension with the club. Without that, he would have been kicked out by now. I don’t see his bragging as something bad but he should try and win the major trophies too so that when he brags next time, no one dares to question him and would be scared to look him in the eye to question his speech. FA Cup and Carabao Cup are also worthy trophies to take, if it was that easy, those other teams that are major contenders in the league title should also try and win them as ETH did. Let him brag, he deserves to brag to feel himself on what he has achieved so far for the club.
