Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Agbe]

Chelsea are interested in Philip Jorgensen, they made the first offer to Villarreal, the preliminary amount is 20 million. Maresca would like to see this goalkeeper in Chelsea, Jorgensen is also interested in this transfer. With the arrival of Maresca, Chelsea are very active in the transfer market, perhaps we will see a different Chelsea again.

Fabrizio Romano

Yes if Chelsea Changed and add some of their players then they will do well in this coming season. They tried last season and they do more again. And right the Enzo Maresca with his team are on tour for the pre league of 2024/25. If Jorgensen for them then there is no problem and they have to take a good goalkeeper and not the keeper but also the defend and the midfield (striker). Those are some the areas they need players in the team. If Villarreal accepts the price as journalist Fabrizio Romano as said, then it is a good move. Chelsea was my favourite team in 2005.

No one watch City and Celtics friendly match here?

Manchester City squad featured Haaland and Grealish but lost to Celtics in their friendly match in preparation for the upcoming season. I think it has now become a tradition to see big clubs losing to underdog in the preseason games.

Yeah, it's a preseason and about fitness but Manchester city defense was very porous while the attackers were playing as if it was just a normal training.

I don't think anyone is interested in watching it considering that the pre-season opponents are not a strong team and on the other hand Manchester City is also using a young squad. So it's not surprising that this match was very quiet and Manchester City's defeat was not surprising considering that other EPL teams were playing relaxed without having to chase victory.

We can even see Haaland wearing the captain's armband in this match and he contributed at least one consolation goal. Pep Guardiola will continue to intensify preparations to start the new season and they must lead the standings from the start of the competition and not be complacent in making room for other teams to surpass them later.

[Dickiy]

So far, Ten Hag has only wasted Manchester United's money by buying lots of quality players and has not been able to get the most out of these players and there is nothing to be proud of from his two years as Mu coach. Manchester United management has given Ten Hag another chance, but I think the results will be the same, Ten Hag will not be able to bring the Red Devils to their former glory, the Fa Cup is open to be proud of, it is only for a moment's consolation when other clubs advance in the UEFA Champions League.

Arteta cannot be compared with Ten Hag, everyone will think it's outrageous to compare all of that, it's clear that Arteta is superior to Ten Hag, Ten Hag is just an angry bald coach who can only throw away good players who don't fit his vision of the game.

I do not agree here as things are going in Manchester United we can expect things could back at their best because he is doing enough job for having positive results and having Red Devils back to their standard which is surely not easy job, but currently he is right man for this all just because of this management is backing him and also investing where he needs.

Even we already have enough talk about this all but still we have to understand bringing Manchester United back to top with consistency and quality is never been easy, but he is doing good as he already won two cups in two seasons, and now they are working on for having better results in Premier League.
Arteta and Eric Ten Hag are completely different persons with different way of play and having completely different strategy so we can't compare them for having good results Arsenal and Manchester United are also different places, and we all know how impressive Manchester United in the past is, but Arsenal is having now change of their many things for having top ranks.

What do you expect? Let's look at Manchester United last season, did they play well and consistently, I don't think so, and what is clear is that Erik Ten Hag was not able to utilize his players to the maximum, Manchester United is a club that cannot show that they can participate in the race for the League title. England, with its star players. I don't think it's enough to just evaluate two trophies, it's not enough to convince the supporters, it's too much if Ten Hag presents the trophy with pride. and at the same time Mu did not qualify for the UEFA Champions.

ten hag has been given the opportunity with the overhaul he is currently undertaking, will it be easy to compete next season? I think it will take time for this and I doubt the performance that Ten Hag will present.

You may be right and wrong. Anyone not being interested in watching the game is like you speaking for everybody right? And who said Celtic is a small team? In the Scottish league, they are one of the best so I don't think it will be fair to relate to them as small and secondly, the thought of Man City losing is something most will want to talk about whether it's in a friendly or not and I won't make the excuse for City that they lost because they didn't play with their best men because they had six of their first team players with them and with the kind of team they are, it will be worth talking about if they lost since they've got this winning mentality no matter who they play.

Yet again, another useless signing by Chelsea. Honestly, I'd still take Petrovic instead of him. It's very hard to understand the motive behind this transfer. Philip Jorgensen is incredibly mediocre. He conceded about 65 goals at a team like Villarreal. Now, Chelsea wants him. that's pretty strange BTW. This time, Chelsea is replacing an average goalkeeper with another average goal keeper like Jorgensen.

The picture below is Jorgensen's stats.



Look at his stats on La Liga, 38 games, 66 conceded goals. A terrible statistic.

Many top goalkeepers are available, like Lunin and Bulka. And again, Kepa is also coming back to Chelsea from Real Madrid. There are many better options than Jorgensen. Chelsea needs a big upgrade. It's terrible to see that they plan to recruit a terrible goalkeeper like Jorgensen. This is a terrible transfer.

[Luzin]

Kevin De Bryune is not leaving Manchester City. It’s been confirmed by Pep Guardiola that KDB is still very much part of the club’s plans in the future and the 33 year old will not be leaving for Saudi Arabia next season. The age factor is probably why the news of KDB moving to the Saudi league is circulating around the internet.

Maybe 1-2 years he can still stay at Man City. Last season De Bruyne rested a lot due to a hamstring injury. This made Man City a little bad and made a lot of small mistakes and lost 3 points. But in his debut after injury, De Bruyne appeared to be the team's savior. De Bruyne was also still able to perform well. But indeed, at the age of 33, De Bruyne is no longer a long-term investment. I think Man City should start looking for a replacement.

[klidex]

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.

Well, let's be honest, the class of City players now significantly exceeds the level of players in Manchester United, ten Hag chose enother path, he attracts young players, and tries to make champions out of them, this is a longer path, but I admit that he also has a chance to achieve his goal. Guardiola immediately built a team of the best players, the best strikers, the best defenders, and these were already experienced players who could achieve their goals without long adapting. These coaches have different approaches, and perhaps different opportunities for transfers.

The players they have have different qualities, it is clear that Manchester City has advantages in everything. Pep Guardiola is very smart in building a strong squad with great players that he recruited. I have never seen Pep Guardiola having difficulty rotating because they also have layered players. two who are no less good, while Erik Ten Hag does not have as great an ability as Pep Guardiola in terms of transfers, that is why Manchester United is unstable regarding their performance, so comparing these two coaches is really unreasonable, obviously they are at different levels. Pep Guardiola has many achievements in several elite clubs while Erik Ten Hag does not.

[BALIK]

It cannot be denied that Arteta is much better than Ten Hag, in making processes for the teams they manage. It is clear that Arsenal's progress is much better than Manchester United's and even for the Man United team there has been no progress in a better direction since Ten Hag's arrival. , the team's performance is unstable despite their success in winning the FA title last season.

For next season, there is still a possibility that Arsenal will still be better than Manchester United, as happened last season, although Ten Hag's team still has the possibility of being able to recover, but I don't think it can surpass Arsenal.

Arsenal are also going through difficult times, and I'm pretty sure you couldn't say anything good about Arteta and his organizational abilities back when Arsenal were bottom of the table. Ten Hag has very good experience at Ajax, he has proven that he can create a very good team, I see that he is trying to do the same thing at Manchester United, if he succeeds, then they will talk about him in the same way as about Arteta, what he has good ability to create young and competitive teams.

Both of them are great managers. Ten hag is more experienced than Arteta. He’s been in the game for many years now. Arteta took over Arsenal in 2020 and he’s been doing a good job with the boys for years now. Ten hag did well in his first year tbh. He wasn’t really lucky with injuries during his second term. I think he’s been pretty decent too. He’s gotten the club the Fa cup and the Carabao cup in two seasons now. It shows he can do more if well backed.

Arteta also deserves some credit. We can see progression curve and it’s obvious that the management trust him to continue. Honestly, I think this is the first time I’m seeing Arsenal contesting for the EPL title for two consecutive years. They’re reinforcing and improving the squad every year and the project has been decent so far. If they maintain that momentum, they’ll win something this season.

If you compare Ten Hag's situation with Mikel Arteta's. The two used to have many similarities but now they are so different. Arteta and Ten Hag are walking on the same path. M.U's team achieved stability faster, but progress and improving the level again could not make the team glorious. Arteta took longer than Ten Hag to rebuild the squad, but thanks to that time, stability was built up and gradually became more solid. Arsenal's performance under Arteta has never declined as significantly as Ten Hag's MU.
After three transfer periods, Arteta spent just over 82 million pounds. Meanwhile, under Ten Hag, MU spent more than 380 million pounds. Sadly, nothing changes as they buy more "redundant" players than they sell. With that factor alone, we can see how different these two coaches are. Arsenal has competed for the championship for two consecutive seasons, finishing second. As for MU, it is just a disappointment when struggling to compete for the top 4. Even last season they only ranked 8th on the rankings.
Arsenal may win the Premier League this season while MU may struggle to compete for a top 4 position. That reason is enough for us to know who is the better coach.

Pep Guardiola has many achievements in several elite clubs while Erik Ten Hag does not.

Pep Guardiola is a genius, he is able to bring out all the abilities that exist in players when they are under his management. The players that Manchester City has not only have different qualities, but they understand each other, which makes Manchester City performance very difficult for other clubs to match. Eric Ten Hag is still far behind Guardiola in polishing players, he has several quality players in the Manchester United squad but is still having difficulty competing in the top four.

The two are clearly at different levels, if Guardiola managed Manchester United which contains current players, perhaps the statistics achieved would be very different compared to Ten Hag. Ten Hag still needs experience and how to manage a team with the right strategy. Guardiola has been very successful with Manchester City, while Ten Hag has not yet fully tested his abilities.

[Mr.right85]

Somehow I am not surprised that Liverpool and Manchester City have not been active in this transfer window while the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea have been active in the market and are making moves. Obviously we can see that  they finished 8 and 6 respectively on the league table. You've to work on it and improve alot of things by strengthening those positions that lack quality. But how many improvements does a team that finished 2nd and 1st in 2 consecutive seasons need? I think maybe just a minor few tweaks here and there to elevate the already high level and become elite. Honestly, If Manchester City and Arsenal don't sign any player, I will still be confident that they’ll in top 2.

The age factor is probably why the news of KDB moving to the Saudi league is circulating around the internet. There’s also talk of City asking the player to accept a pay cut but that’s yet to be confirmed. I doubt KDB is going to be “replaced” by Bruno Guimarães next season.

After seeing Kevin De Bruyne's contribution last season, I don't think Man City will let this player go even though he is no longer as young as the other players at the club. But I think Kevin De Bruyne will still be needed by Man City in the next few seasons. And maybe Man City now just has to start discussing a contract extension with Kevin De Bruyne. and I would be surprised if Man City does not extend this player's contract this season. Because this would be the same as Man City being ready to let Kevin De Bruyne leave next season. And even without clarity from the club, this will also shake De Bruyne's desire to stay here or leave if a high offer comes.

After all, De Bruyne still has a contract for one more season at Manchester City and of course, it would be better for Manchester City to keep De Bruyne until his contract ends and that would look more professional. But indeed, considering De Bruyne age and experience of serious injuries, of course De Bruyne probably won't be able to always play the full 90 minutes. But despite this, of  course De Bruyne is still able to make a good contribution to every Manchester City match.

But yes, somehow I feel like De Bruyne will end his career at Manchester City. Because after all, it seems like De Bruyne is not a player who has the ambition to continue pursuing an achievement like Ronaldo, who continues to play with a specific target or goal. But yes, the most important thing is that De Bruyne remains at Manchester City which of course is good news too.

Chelsea's acquiring young talent like Jorgensen? Hell yes! Boehly is right: build a dynasty, not a fast fix. Jorgensen's naturally talented and hungry. He may become a superstar with the correct coaching. Chelsea went all out with their young players last season. I mean taking risks and developing potential

Jorgensen has a spark Maresca can ignite. This is about developing a Chelsea warrior, not just filling a space on the pitch. Long game, not for the fainthearted. It takes bravery to trust youth and the unknown. But the reward? A fire-forged fraternity of indigenous champions. That team dominates and leaves a legacy. It may take some time and patience, but it'll be worth it. Chelsea's new era will be wild

That's the result you alwsys get when you put too much in your effort to help the team win the league. Just observed players that alwsys win the Premier League and the Champions League together or Champions League and any other domestic league, it's always difficult to perform very wholeheartedly the following season because of the injuries and that's exactly what happen to Kevin De Bruyne but was able to win Premier League the following year.

Kevin De Bruyne may have say a lot of comments regarding his move to other clubs but this are just for media opinion, if he want to leave Manchester City I'm sure he is going to be doing that already and doesn't have to come to the public to say what he feels like about their league and the amount a player can make from playing in Saudi Arabia.

[Arenga pinnata]

Today's latest pre-season match result for the Man City vs Celtic match is 3-4. Man City lost in that match, but because it was only a pre-season match, I can understand this result. This is the same as the defeat experienced by several strong teams from the Premier League in this pre-season match. It's just that De Bruyne doesn't seem in the pre-season match. But I see Pep Guardiola giving opportunities to several young Man City players such as Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Jadel Katongo and several other players. And that was their debut in the Man City senior team. And even though Man City lost that match, it seems like Pep Guardiola was quite satisfied with the performance of the young players in that match. And it seems that victory is not the target of this match.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

Cry over what? Your misinformation? And do you think I give two flying piss about your misinformation and trolls? You don't posses and has what it takes to troll crap. What are you really? A male possing as a female?  Triggered by what really? I understand the hate for Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag.

Yes, Manchester United has spent crazy fees for players, bit he has won two trophies in his first two seasons which your club Arsenal hasn't done yet. These trophies are good results, they would buy any manager tike as much as the management is cool with what the future has for them.

Chelsea are interested in Philip Jorgensen, they made the first offer to Villarreal, the preliminary amount is 20 million. Maresca would like to see this goalkeeper in Chelsea, Jorgensen is also interested in this transfer. With the arrival of Maresca, Chelsea are very active in the transfer market, perhaps we will see a different Chelsea again.

Fabrizio Romano

But Chelsea had a good season with Petrovic last season, yes? I wonder what's cooking with Enzo Marasca. My advice to Chelsea fans would be not to set their hopes high because, they'll obviously be disappointed. I want to see how quickly he gets his first eleven ahead of a new season.
The defenders of Chelsea are not consistent, they're my biggest concern ahead of the new season honestly.

[Jatiluhung]

Man City must prepare a replacement for De Bruyne. But before actually finding a suitable replacement, De Bruyne must be retained in this squad. Because I don't think it's easy to find a player who can replace De Bruyne's role at Man City. The neat performance shown by De Bruyne after his injury also deserves the highest appreciation. Because usually a player will not be able to play well immediately after being injured. Because usually it will require some adjustments to return to best performance. But what we saw from De Bruyne was that he immediately returned to performing well and he even immediately contributed greatly by making good assists and even scoring a goal at that time. So I think in 1 or even 3 more seasons, Man City will have to keep it.

And it seems that victory is not the target of this match.

At the start of the 2024 summer tour, Man City chose an opponent that was considered easy to defeat Celtic, but things did not go as easily as Man City thought. Coach Pep Guardiola's team with the appearance of many young players failed. They only had the 4 most experienced players starting in the Man City squad in the first half: Ortega, Grealish, Phillips, and Haaland. In terms of results, the 3-4 loss to Celtic was a disappointment for "The Citizens" fans.
However, coach Pep Guardiola did not have many complaints after the match, which shows that Pep Guardiola received many positive things from this match. Especially the two young players Oscar Bobb and Rico Lewis left a good impression. Perhaps Coach Pep Guardiola's goal is to find recruits among young players.

[Adiljutt156]

This is a friendly match and might also be an evaluation material for Erik Ten Hag to set a more precise strategy for this season. Sancho's return is a breath of fresh air because he is a quality player who can provide additional strength to the team. On the one hand, this victory will make the players more enthusiastic in the next friendly match.
There are several young players who are given the opportunity to show their best qualities in friendly matches and this is Erik Ten Hag's strategy to find young talent that he is ready to bring to play in the first team this season.
This season, Manchester United is certainly targeting tickets to the Champions League because last season they failed to do so. Manchester United doesn't have a really good striker yet and I hope Erik can get it done in the transfer market.

The match between Manchester United football team and Rangers football team was excellent and we saw good match because
Manchester United team played good match and did two goals. The players of Manchester United team were looking in good form and they  did two goals and after that they defended very well . Defence is main part of game and no team can win without defence and Rangers team  tried to attack but Manchester United team stopped every kick and they Man United team won the match easily by 2-0 . That is good performance and Man United team is in full confidence after winning this match. They will be more confident for next match because when  you win the match ,you feel motivated and you will be more prepared for next challenge.

So I think in 1 or even 3 more seasons, Man City will have to keep it.

City must be able to take experience from several teams that lost one of their key players and they must prepare to look for other players from now on. As you said, there is a possibility that De Bruyne will play another 1 or 2 seasons but the club management has to start looking for new players. PSG lost Mbappe who did not sign a new contract and currently they are really having difficulty finding another striker who can replace Mbappe. On the other hand, Real Madrid lost Kroos who retired this season but fortunately they still have other players of almost the same level such as Camavinga or Arda Guler.
