Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Republikcoin.com]

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.

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.       

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.

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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.

Why do you think he is better when during his time he is being allowed to spend too much money but during the times of the other managers, they limited their spending and some did not have the opportunity to spend. For a football club to do well, they have to spend and have the right people in the right places to help make their spending to be worth it. Arteta is a good manager but he has to win something to be considered good for Arsenal, He has the players to stop Manchester city from winning the league again and with the money the club has been spending, they deserve more. Beating Pep Guardiola is not going to be easy because he has a better squad and still spend money more than you in the market to buy more players but to become a great manager he needs a premier league title.

For two seasons now Arteta have done a wonderful work in building Arsenal, this is something that can take some coach longtime but he did once and for all which we have seen that the teams performance is very stable till date. For Arteta to succeed in strengthening the squad of Arsenal it means arsenal have the chance of winning the league which it is just a matter of time.

  So far as Arteta is able get a good result for the season even if Arsenal fails to win the league, I think he is a good coach for arsenal that should not be taking for granted, I remember some seasons back Arsenal performance was very poor but under the watch of Arteta arsenal is consider as one of the beet team in the premier league.

But it is important for managers to establish a good relationship with the club owners. If the club owners think differently or have doubts in some certain things, if the manager has a wider range of knowledge in those issues, I think it is wise for the manager to explain to the owners and make them understand why they should do things his way. No CEO would want to keep or aid a manager that's they think is not loyal to them. We only heard Mourinho side of the story, there must have been a reason why the Glazzers didn't backed him fully the way he Mourinho would have wanted. Let's not forget that Mourinho have some level of pride in him.

Good relationship between the manager of a club and the owners helps the team to be together, a divided house can not flourish, when the manager is not in a good terms with the management the whole situation may affect the performance of the club entirely because the manager may not be concentrating in his coaching jobs and players also may not have the zeal to give their best in the football pitch in so doing politics may be introduced in a way that individual players may decide whom to support or take instructions from as the ugly situation is going on either the club owner or the coach and this may lead to underperformance of the football club.
No matter how good you are as a manager in as much as you were hired by a person or group of persons, you are answerable to them because there are conditions and reasons that made them to hire you as such you don't act on your own, although many managers has used their coaching strategy to bring success to a club and thats the purpose for their employment but before you make any step as a manager, you must involve the owners of the club before anything although sometimes club owners are very annoying in terms of decision making.
As for morinho we know that he is not a bad manager but he is arrogant although am not judging him because different people has their personal character but I believe that what happened may be as a result of his attitude and nothing else.

Good relationship between the manager of a club and the owners helps the team to be together, a divided house can not flourish, when the manager is not in a good terms with the management the whole situation may affect the performance of the club entirely

I remember during the time that Chelsea just came under the management of Todd Boehly, the coach Thomas Tuchel was doing good with the team, but he was still sacked because I heard he did not have a god relationship with the new owners of the club. Since that decision was made, Chelsea has been affected in their performance.

No matter how good you are as a manager in as much as you were hired by a person or group of persons, you are answerable to them because there are conditions and reasons that made them to hire you as such you don't act on your own, although many managers has used their coaching strategy to bring success to a club and thats the purpose for their employment but before you make any step as a manager, you must involve the owners of the club before anything although sometimes club owners are very annoying in terms of decision making.

The owners of some clubs interfere too much with some managers and some managers cannot tolerate it. Managers have a right to it, because they were hired to do a job, and some of them will not be able to do that work properly if the management keeps interfering.

For two seasons now Arteta have done a wonderful work in building Arsenal, this is something that can take some coach longtime but he did once and for all which we have seen that the teams performance is very stable till date. For Arteta to succeed in strengthening the squad of Arsenal it means arsenal have the chance of winning the league which it is just a matter of time.

  So far as Arteta is able get a good result for the season even if Arsenal fails to win the league, I think he is a good coach for arsenal that should not be taking for granted, I remember some seasons back Arsenal performance was very poor but under the watch of Arteta arsenal is consider as one of the beet team in the premier league.

No one doubts that Arteta can present the PL trophy for Arsenal if they can continue to consistently improve the team's performance throughout this season, I'm sure it will happen because we can see in the last 2 seasons that Arteta has always been able to make Arsenal's team performance development even better, for this season too.

Building a team is not easy, everything takes time and process and what Arteta has been through with Arsenal so far is clear evidence that they are on the right track.
I have no doubt that this can continue to be maintained, I even speculate that Arteta can bring Arsenal to win the title this season.

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.

Compare a coach who has won many titles including Champions League at different clubs like Pep Guardiola with a young coach who did not win any big title including a domestic league title like Arteta is not too accurate. They can be both talented, I agree, but Arteta has many years ahead to prove his management ability and to win big titles too. They are directly competing for Premier League title in the last two seasons and this season is a third consecutive season, they are direct competitors.

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.

A title as a best manager in Premier League is main target of Arteta as it will be a first big title in his coach career. A personal award like a Best manager is only a bonus but Arteta actually does not need that recognition. A Premier League trophy is enough to show his management quality in Premier League.

The manager of the yer 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.       

Obviously, Pep Guardiola is my favorite coach of the year and i will want him to be the manager of the year. And Arne Slot just got to the EPL, i won't call him out on this one before giving any credit to him i will say Mikel Arteta has been wonderful as well. After Pep Guardiola it is Mikel Arteta. Their tactics are great, last season we saw how competitive they were in winning the EPL. This season both managers have also done marvelously well to not lost in any game.

If you are judging based on the number of matches won you won't rate it using this season it will be from last season. The league just started, in time we will know if Arne Slot can keep up with this performance, i dont see him any better than Jorgen Klopp.

[Altryist]

No one doubts that Arteta can present the PL trophy for Arsenal if they can continue to consistently improve the team's performance throughout this season, I'm sure it will happen because we can see in the last 2 seasons that Arteta has always been able to make Arsenal's team performance development even better, for this season too.

Building a team is not easy, everything takes time and process and what Arteta has been through with Arsenal so far is clear evidence that they are on the right track.
I have no doubt that this can continue to be maintained, I even speculate that Arteta can bring Arsenal to win the title this season.

Until the last season, Arsenal with Arteta was progressing, they were even able to avoid the usual decline, but it was still not enough to become champions, and statistically they were assessed as one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. But Guardiola managed to create a winning mentality in City and it will be very difficult to break it, besides, I understand that the selection of players in City is stronger, I do not want to say that Arsenal is much inferior, but in my opinion there is a difference.
