Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Stepstowealth]

Granted, Arsenal have not looked at their very best from last season, but writing them off based on a couple of matches is premature. Arsenal always have the potential to rise in big matches, more so in prestigious derbies. Tottenham may be tough, but don't forget that the London Cannon always can blow at any given moment. Yet, looking at the squad's quality, Arsenal are likely to sweep this match further.

Arsenal fans have something to worry about concerning that upcoming game because in the UEFA Nations League today where France played against Italy Ricardo Caliofori who is Arsenal's new signing was substituted out after he appeared to have picked up an injury. Due to the red card that Declan Rice picked up, and his suspension against that game Caliofori was an option for Arsenal in Midfield or defensive role, to free up Timber. His conditions is being looked at, we will hear some updates on it soon from the people in charge so that we can know the condition he is in. If it is a serious injury, then that is early bad luck for Arsenal with Merino already injures too.

When a club is performing poorly, the first person to be blamed is the coach, because he is in control of the players. If a particular player is performing poorly, then he should be replaced, but if the coach doesn’t do that, then at the end he will be blamed. There are some players that we know are not really ready to play for the club, I don’t know why Ten Hag keeps on making use of them when you have better options on the bench.

Agree. The coach should be the first person who has the responsibility for the bad performance. In this case, Ten Hag must be responsible for the team's performance decline. He has a control of all players, decided the strategy/tactic, determine to buy and sell any player, and has the right to put any player in the lineup. If there are players who failed to perform well, Ten Hag can send the players to sit on the bench for the next matches.

Any player that’s not in form, then make use of another player. I don’t know why Ten Hag is still making use of Rashford when it’s obvious the guy has not been in form since last season, but Ten Hag keeps on making use of him in almost all matches, which he does end up performing poorly.

We don't know what the main reason, but maybe Rashford fits with the strategy/tactic applied by Ten Hag. We may assume Rashford should be replaced by another player because we only focus on Rashford's individual stats, we don't analyze the performance of the whole team. But I can agree that Ten Hag sometimes surprised us. Maguire is one of the real example, I can't believe that he is still a part of Man United squad. As far as I know, Maguire never performed with his best anymore. He should be sold and replaced with a new player.

Erik ten Hag's Manchester United defence stinks. Its more than bad luck. Two losses to start the season? You dont win championships that way.

Manchester United’s defense has been so poor since last season, I was thinking things will change this season, but as we can see, I can’t see any difference. Three matches played, and they lose two games, even their first win was just luck for them, it will have ended as a draw.

Actually, some of Man United's signing this season were not bad to strengthen the team. Like Leny Yoro, Mathijjs de Ligt in the back line, then there is Manuel Ugarte in the middle line, and some other players who might be pretty good. They even spent €214.50m for expenditure.

It's just unfortunate, Leny Yoro had a foot injury before the season started and had to recover for several months. And now, his condition has started to improve, he seems to be walking without crutches in the rehabilitation process.

However, this is not just about the players, even Ten Hag, needs to be considered again, whether Man United will really maintain that coach until the end of the season or not, by looking at how Man United's performance is now and perhaps in the next few weeks.

Yet, looking at the squad's quality, Arsenal are likely to sweep this match further.

Out of the 38 league matches that'll be played this season by each club in the English Premier League, just three have been played abd out of that three, Arsenal were able to win 2 and draw 1 so why do you think anyone in his right mind will want to write off the Gunners at this very early stage of the season. Arsenal have finished their last two seasons as first runners-up in the league and I strongly believe that they'll also challenge for the league title this season. Playing against Tottenham Hotspur is always a difficult game for Arsenal but I think the Gunners will beat them when they face each other next weekend.

I wondered those that are even blamed the coach, and their coach is always tried his possibly best to make sure the team to become better, but the entire team also has their own problem; that’s why their performance has not yet come normal up to today we all know that in the Premier League not only Manchester United have bad performance but their own is worse than the others.

How can you replace a player when you dont have the right replacement for the player? Manchester United substitute players cannot make any changes when they come into the field. For quite some time, Garnacho has been starting replacing Antony, when he is subbed for Antony there isn't any good performance from him as well. Manchester United should sell their players and buy new players or better they should bring young boys from the academy. Because it pains me a lot to see that it's their first team that is having this bad performance its better that the academy boys lose to some teams in the EPL than see the almighty Manchester United players including Rashford doing nothing.

It was amazing to see Brighton and Liverpool. They excelled under their new coaches, Fabian and Arne. It should also be noted that this is their first time managing in the Premier League. They got very impressive results in their first three games of PL.

And now, they're being included in the nomination manager of the month.



I have voted for Pep, because City was my favorite team, but I think Arne Slot deserves to be Manager of the Month. He impacted Liverpool. He made them more tactical and structured. Who do you guys think deserves to be Manager of the month?

Manchester United are basically out of reach and this time, they ought to be more serious and consistent in their epic form. On the records, poor performance are oriented from the unseriousness of the club, which will downgrade them to irrelevant position. Manchester United have one of the most terrible performance when it comes to elite clubs, this is not just happening on their check. Erik Ten Hag ought to be fire because he's an average coach, having settled for lesser results which is not welcoming under his watch.

The manager of the year will likely be between Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot because both have them have not lost any game. Fabian Hurzeler of Brighton and Mikel Arteta of Arsenal do not have 100% 'performance. They have both had one draw in three games. Arne Slot might be the preferable candidate since he is new in the Premiership and successfully won two games. But Pep's Manchester City have won more games than Liverpool, this might be the advantage the Spaniard have over Liverpool's coach.

If choosing between Arne Slot and Pep Guardiola I think the strongest candidate is Pep Guardiola because he has created a long history for Manchester City in the last few seasons but Arne Slot also needs to be appreciated because he has also just started the season in the Premier League but has created a winning streak without even conceding while Manchester City has conceded 2 goals even though the final result is that they both collected 7 goals.

Mikel Arteta and Fabian Hürzeler still need to learn a lot and evaluate because their clubs have not fully performed optimally I understand for Fabian Hürzeler because he is a new coach and needs to adapt, but for Mikel Arteta I have high hopes for him, because he has been Arsenal's coach for quite a long time but has not been able to give the title that the club wants.

Perhaps the problem is not that the Manchester United coach was too bad, but that the Liverpool coach was better in the current match? But undoubtedly, the score of 0 - 3 is a serious indicator of some problems at Manchester United. It should be taken into account that football is a game of "struggle" strategies, when victory depends on the ability to predict the tactics of the opposing team and be able to form a counter-tactics. There is a certain element of gamble in this, when you do not know what the opponent will choose and you try to counter it with your option. And one more thing. The outcome of the event is influenced not only by the coach, but also the team, the physical and mental health of the team members, motivation, and what can I say, even the stadium where the team plays. That is, I want to say that "victory" is formed from many factors, in which there are many unknown variables, although the coach plays one of the key roles. Let's hope that Ten Hag will stay in his role and will be able to prove that he is not so bad.

That is the most accurate indicator because in fact it is because the Liverpool coach is more astute at seeing opportunities and he managed to make it difficult for Manchester United's front line to create opportunities. The strategy of dampening Manchester United's attacks was successfully implemented by Arnold Slot and made them beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. There are many variables in a winning strategy in a team and it is influenced by many things so that there is some debate about who is stronger. Manchester United have experienced two defeats so far and maybe Ten Hak is not in a comfortable condition in the coaching chair because he has got everything he wants, even for the new players he wants have also been fulfilled by management and the results have not improved as desired.

But Pep's Manchester City have won more games than Liverpool, this might be the advantage the Spaniard have over Liverpool's coach.       

Pep Guardiola is still in the forefront of the best manager domination, he has proven it since the last four seasons always succeeded in bringing Manchester City to win the EPL trophy. Arne Slot is also worth considering, even though he has only just set foot in the EPL, the results of his work are starting to show with Liverpool's improved performance since he took charge.

Mikel Arteta is also worth considering, even though he failed to lead Arsenal to a perfect start at the start of this season, the squad that Arteta currently has has improved and the players are also starting to understand each other. If Arsenal can win the EPL this season, maybe Arteta will be chosen as the best manager.
Fabian Hurzeler is still less competitive with the three managers mentioned above, he is a talented coach, but will have difficulty winning the best manager nomination with Brighton because the quality of the current squad is still unable to compete with the level of Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

A manager has a responsibility to give the best results for the team and that is how he manages the squad he has. When there is a bad situation like a bad performance or a bad day like injuries to many key players, the manager has a responsibility to deal with and resolve the situation. I am not saying it is the manager's fault. I am saying a manager needs to take responsibility for what happens to his team. The manager must know how to put each player in the best position. And most importantly the manager must have tactics that suit the style of play of his team.

I agree with you on your points above, because Mourinho is a coach can cannot do without wey itu players and he knows the kind of players that he needs to become successful at the end of the season. When he did not ha ve those players he will not be able to perform well in that season. Assuming Manchester united gave him the players he needed, he would have done something great during his time in United.

It was the same thing Mourinho said in Roma that led to his sack because he asked for players but look at it now Roma is suffering from a big problem because their performance is declining since the last quarter of last season. Wrong decisions by a club management can make the club suffer for long.

Jose Mourinho knows how to win trophies. He doesn't need the club owners telling him how to do his job. The Glazers did not give Jose Mourinho the freedom to pick the players he wanted in the transfer market like other teams he managed in the past. I saw in one of his interviews where he was asked about signing Didier Drogba at Chelsea in 2004. Jose Mourinho told Roman Abramovich to pay and not speak. We all know how successful Drogba went on to become in the premier league and for Chelsea. This was Mourinho’s style and he must have rubbed club owners the wrong way. Clubs do not like a manager they cannot control and will look for any excuse to sack you.

With all the trophies and achievements that Jose Mourinho has won, he has publicly acknowledged that finishing 2nd place with that Manchester United squad in 2018-2019 was his biggest achievement. That speaks volumes about his challenges at the club.

I really do share the same sentiment as you bro, jose Mourinho has proven to be a not just an entertainer but also a winner in everywhere he has been to, except Tottenham Hotspur that sacked him before their carabao cup final against Manchester city.
So as for his days at Manchester united, actually he wasn't supported that much in the transfer market as Eric ten hang, because I believe that if hose Mourinho was supported in the transfer market the way Eric ten hang was supported in this past summer transfer window, I believe that jose Mourinho would have won the league with Manchester united because he has what it takes to do so.

And as for the control aspect you are actually talking of, yes, it's very much true that almost all club hierarchy are looking for someone that would do their biding, but the major problem for them is that the best managers in the game of football will always be in control of who goes in and out of the club, if not, they wouldn't be that much  successful.

I think Arsenal will consider Arteta's future because the positive value experienced by Arsenal under Arteta is much better than the previous coaches, regarding the champion or not this season Arsenal at least for now seems to be able to get the title, seeing the competition at the top is not as good as last season it seems Arsenal will advance easily.

Not many coaches/managers have the ability to understand their team well, where he have to rotate players or decide to replace core players when they are not performing optimally, and coaches/managers like that are expensive, that's why only big clubs can hire them and also that's why only strong teams end up becoming champions repeatedly, and also the greatness of a coach/manager must be supported by the strength of the club in providing funds for the manager to hold or buy players who are considered to be able to make the team stronger.

And Ten Haag looked pretty bad at Manchester United after his first season which was better but after that United did not perform as they should and Rashford is a player who can be said to be bad in that team because he is not a stable player, not only when Ten Hag was at United but previously we have seen how Rashford did not perform like the best player.

[Roseline492]

I cannot be completely sure why MU keeps Erik Ten Hag as the coach, more so after not that great results. Maybe the club management still sees long-term potential or believe that he needs to build the team more time according to his vision. But with the pressure of bad results, the decision was indeed quite brave.

Who knows why they still allow him, maybe the reason is because his contract has not elapse so they decided to manage him or maybe they still see some good potential in him, so nobody really no the exact reason why they allowed him to continue but whichever way I believe is for the greater good of the club because already the Manchester United management team has already understand the importance of having a good coach in the club, so perhaps for them to have leave Eric Ten Hag they have there reasons, though I'm beginning to realize something in Manchester United performance because last season I was thinking there problem is from Eric Ten Hag but the strategy they have been using on this season is very okay but I don't no why they keep losing matches, however Southampton will be there next challenger on the 14 September let's hope for there own sake they improve because Southampton will eventually tried very hard to win because the current position they are in is obviously very sad for them.

More or less like that but unfortunately we don't see that in Erik ten hag. Just imagine he always puts some of his golden boys on the field even though their performance is declining, let's take Rashford for example or even Mount who was also played some time ago. Even though it is clear that it will not change anything but it seems Erik ten hag is still insistent that his players can do something miraculous.

On the other hand, I didn't expect Wan Bissaka to be sold and chose Dalot for that position even though it is clear that Wan Bissaka is better than Dalot. I feel sorry for Maguire considering he has come back from a slump but his teammate is still playing badly as usual. Here the coach's decision determines everything and if he places a player in the wrong position then it will reflect the results obtained. One more thing, if Casemiro feels like he is no longer suitable for his playing style, Erik ten hag must play Manuel Ugarte.

Manchester United management has just extended Erik Ten Hag's contract until 2025 and indeed this season is Ten Hag's last proving season to be able to develop the performance of the Manchester United team, if not then it is likely that Ten Hag will be in front of the Manchester United coaching chair.
And since the beginning of this season we can see that Manchester United's performance is not so impressive and there is even no development compared to last season even though Ten Hag has made several changes but there are no visible results.
For now Manchester United management cannot take any action because it is still early in the season so we just have to wait and see what Ten Hag will do to be able to revive the performance of the Manchester United team.

Pep is currently the best manager in EPL and there is no doubt about this due to his achievements in the league. Arteta is second because he has kept to the consistency of the club's performance, but one thing i want you to know is that even if Arteta is able to win EPL this season, he cannot be seen as the best. Infact I will say that he will not be the best but Pep will still remain the best because you cannot use only one success to make someone the best. Pep won EPL for four consecutive seasons and in one of those seasons, he won treble.
