Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Lannakosa]

I don’t really know what the Manchester United problem is, but Manchester United performance has been poor since last season, but most of their fans were expecting improvement from Manchester United this season, because Ten Hag signed some players, and their is no difference. Six Premier League matches have been played, but Manchester United performance is poor, and things are even getting worse for them. Everyone just thinks it’s high time Ten Hag has to go because he has been given enough time, but there is no improvement, so it’s just obvious that Ten Hag is not capable of coaching the club, and he needs replacement.

It is clear that he has a good relationship with the management, otherwise he would have been fired long ago, this is not a very strong argument in his favor, if Manchester United continues to lose points, they will have to fire him. I know that ten Hag says that they agreed on a long-term cooperation, but for this in any case victories are needed.

And yes, he made many transfers for hundreds of millions, but we do not see any benefit from them. Maybe it would be more important to pay attention to those players who are already in the team but began to play worse than trying to attract new ones who will not be able to improve anything.

Well, Ten Hag has clearly been under a lot of pressure since last season and continuing into this season.

I don’t really know what the Manchester United problem is, but Manchester United performance has been poor since last season, but most of their fans were expecting improvement from Manchester United this season, because Ten Hag signed some players, and their is no difference. Six Premier League matches have been played, but Manchester United performance is poor, and things are even getting worse for them. Everyone just thinks it’s high time Ten Hag has to go because he has been given enough time, but there is no improvement, so it’s just obvious that Ten Hag is not capable of coaching the club, and he needs replacement.

Ten Hag is currently in a position that is quite difficult to escape from the pressure even though perhaps his position is still very safe as a coach, what is happening to the Red Devils squad at the moment is a strange thing indeed after they have brought in a lot of good players this season, the poor game they show in every game of course indicates if there is something wrong with their squad,  In addition to the lack of cohesiveness of their defensive line may be the cause of the defeat they received yesterday, we can see how easy it is for Van de Ven to run and exploit Manchester United defense without any effort from the Manchester United defenders for stop his, I think Ten Hag's game strategy may be their biggest problem at the moment, because in the last 3 seasons their game have looked monotonous and there has been no significant improvement at all in the game scheme played, Ten Hag dismissal may of course be a solution to Manchester United slump, although maybe other coaches are also unable to bring them champions, but at least there is still hope for manchester rise..

Until week 6
1. Haaland is extraordinary because he has made 10 goals in only 6 matches, but he is a strong candidate for Top Score.
2. I look at the temporary ranking, there are 5 clubs that have not been able to win, Ipswich, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Southampton, and Wolves.
3. The funny thing is that Ipswich was able to be at number 15 with 4 draws.
4. Only Man City and Arsenal with a team that has never lost.

[bitcampaign]

Just like i predicted before because the loses from Tottenham makes some of media has starting to make the speculation about Ten Hag future in Manchester United because according to the news i have read recently Manchester United owner will not give Ten Hag more time to improved the performance of this team and they will see when Manchester United fight against FC Porto in champion league and against Aston Villa in premier league and if Manchester United lost from those matches then certainly he would be sacked

Manchester United have already to lost 3 times in the last 6 matches in Premier league they even only able to gets 1 win at their home ground Old Trafford and this is one of the worst starts in the team's history so it's normal if the owner and the fans starting to worried to see the performance of this team but if Ten Hag sacked i think Manchester United also not in the good situation because they have to pay all Ten Hag's salaries according to the duration of his contract which is until 2026 and the amount is quite high approximately 21 million

In my opinion as a person who does not follow the championship assiduously, I think that this coach will soon be fired.
The performances are too poor.
Considering the time he has been coaching the team (since 2022) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_ten_Hag I would say he hasn't managed to make everything go as it should have.
So I predict that he will be sent away soon, they are probably already looking for another coach

I also hope so but until now there has been no news blowing, but is there a possibility that Man United Management will wait for this season to end and then decide on Ten Hag's future at Man United, there is no one left to be used as a scapegoat by him and it has been proven that Ten Hag can't do anything in the Premier League, I think the Red Devils management must move quickly to terminate his contract and find a more mature replacement in selecting good players for Man United.

4. Only Man City and Arsenal with a team that has never lost.

Just like Manchester City who are likely to be able to defend their championship trophy in a row, of course Haaland also has a great chance to also create a record as a player who is able to achieve the top score for 3 consecutive seasons in the Premier League, currently Haaland has scored 10 goals and Cole Palmer may be his closest competitor in the fight for the Golden Boot at the end of the season.

Ipswich Town, is a team that has managed to get promoted this season but unfortunately they have not upgraded the quality of the squad they have, so it will be quite difficult for them to be able to compete in the Premier League at the moment, Ipswich Town performance is not in good shape at the moment, but I think they are quite consistent in holding a draw against a team that is stronger than them.
If we reflect on the experience of last season of course it is not surprising that we see that Arsenal are not beaten so far, but I think they will not be able to maintain it until the end of the season because their is still inconsistencies in their games.

[Roseline492]

Certainly Cole Palmer would have been more good than this if he had go to Manchester City considering his efforts in scoring even when he has a limited resources in terms of assistance in Chelsea but he still manages to deliver, so certainly he would have score far more higher than Haaland if he was to be in Manchester City because everything he would need in terms assist and those that would create scoring opportunity for him are all there, so it would have been much easier for him since he is also an Independent player. However let's imagine Haaland and Cole Palmer to exchange team, there is no way Haaland will even score the way he normally do in Manchester City.

Palmer is an outstanding and perfect player to watch in terms of dribbling passing and sprinting he is a proper athlete and a player who scores on any pitch against any team. The way he played his previous game showed some lovely free-kick goals and close-range goals and still, he is way underrated in the EPL top performers list i don't know why but he is a pure and exciting young Chelsea player to watch.

Yes he is a bit underrated among all the star players, I also don't no why is like that but it could be that the club he is playing for is the reason why he is not that noticeable because if Chelsea were to be very competitive on this premier League they would have seen more of Palmer but how can a player be ranked higher when they are not consistent, so inability for a club to be productive can have a negative effects on a player, so like I already mentioned if Palmer find himself on Manchester City his performance will even be better compare to this because the young star is very good and I think Chelsea will always look forward in trying to renew his contract.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I have this feeling that Manchester United have everything sorted out about their next manager but it has to be delayed maybe till  the current coach contract expires that's if ETH hasn't killed the team completely. I see the assistant coach van Nistelrooy as a possible candidate to take the job after ETH might have left, this is something the board of directors are some how hiding from the public, I'm just saying but it might be true. If van Nistelrooy takes over I think he can do perfectly well and even have better relationship with the players, that relationship is what Erik ten Heg is really lacking with the squad.

It is natural that Manchester United management has already made plans regarding who will replace Ten Hag. The reason is that Ten Hag is no longer able to make Manchester United perform well, so with this, of course now Ten Hag will not be given another chance by Manchester United management. The reason is that currently Manchester United is performing poorly, in the Premier League Manchester United is currently in 12th position. The reason is that of the 5 matches played by Manchester United, only 1 match was won. So this could be said to be very bad for a team like Manchester United. So firing Ten Hag as soon as possible was the right decision. Because if Ten Hag continues to be allowed to coach Manchester United, I'm sure Manchester United will slump again.

Apart from that, in my personal opinion, if Manchester United wants to make significant changes regarding its current performance, it would be better if the entire team currently on duty such as assistant coaches and other staff are replaced. Because if Manchester United chooses a replacement for Ten Hag from the current (assistant coach) staff, I'm sure the results will not be much different from now. Because it is certain that Manchester United's playing style will not change too much, because assistant coach Ten Hag will of course imitate a lot of the style or strategy implemented by Ten Hag. Therefore, it is a good idea for Manchester United to look for an experienced coach who has quite good achievements. The reason is that currently Manchester United's condition is very bad, so a coach who does not have experience and good achievements will definitely find it difficult to change Manchester United's situation.

They can't allow this to continue by letting ETH manage the club because the management are the ones backing him and that gives ETH the confidence on staying calm and saying things he's not suppose to say even when the team is not doing well and he knows the board won't speak of sacking him so he only have to do whatever he feels like. If it were Chelsea I don't see any reason of keeping a coach as ETH to continue after playing 6 games 2 wins 1 draw and 3 losses with a very poor performance, the owners of Chelsea won't think twice but to kick him out, so the contract is what is holding ETH if you ask me.
ETH doesn't even have any plans for the development of the club talk less of playing pattern, if ten Heg is fired and the assistant coach takes over with the other coaching staff I believe there would be a change in the club, as it stands Manchester United needs someone to save the club from ETH and very fast. I don't know why some of Man UTD legends are not pushing more force for Erik ten Heg to be sacked.

[Majestic-milf]

Manchester United performance under Ten Hag has been very poor and even when he managed to win two minor trophies for the Red Devils it is clear that it is still not worth the amount of money they has spent at the moment, last season Manchester United won the FA Cup but behind all that they actually recorded the worst defeat record in the club history, I think indeed Ten Hag dismissal may not guarantee Manchester United to be better later, especially after Ferguson retirement there is no coach who has been able to help them win the Premier League trophy so far, but I think sometimes it's better to try it than nothing and does not  wrong to take the risk of changing the coach if the reality is that now Ten Hag is not able to bring Manchester United better,I think Manchester United today actually has great ambition and support after Sir Jim Ratcliffe became the owner with the second largest club share after the Glazer Family, although Glazer is still the majority owner but Jim Ratcliffe is the one who makes decisions about every operation of Manchester today because of his current status as Co-Owner, So for now we can't completely blame the Glazerr family anymore, especially in the last 3 seasons the club owners has spent more than 600 million euros to build the squad.

The bottom line is United aren't serious. I don't see what the issue is; you can't keep pumping money into a failed project and still expect different results! It's you that will be losing funds and the more time is going the less proof you have to show that you have been working.
Man UTD under Sir Alex Ferguson was very successful and was it not the Glazers that owned the club? I wonder what changed now because the club is slowly but surely heading down and I'm sure they aren't waiting till they get relegated or moved to championship division before they realize their mistake, or are they?
 The club needs to act fast and if its Erik that is being so nonchalant about his duties, you remove him and bring in someone who has passion for the growth of the club and if it's a situation where Jim Ratcliffe needs to take over completely to change or bring new flow to the mechanics and pattern at the club, he should do it. Funny thing is that Chelsea who they were happy that they were passing last season has gone on to sit fourth on the table and doing well but where is United? 11th or 12th?

Certainly Cole Palmer would have been more good than this if he had go to Manchester City considering his efforts in scoring even when he has a limited resources in terms of assistance in Chelsea but he still manages to deliver, so certainly he would have score far more higher than Haaland if he was to be in Manchester City because everything he would need in terms assist and those that would create scoring opportunity for him are all there, so it would have been much easier for him since he is also an Independent player.

Palmer is now starting to mature and he is in the right team because he gets regular playing time. Now Palmer has become a valuable asset for Chelsea and of course the management will protect him with a long-term contract. Previously, the talent scouts at Manchester City had known the resources he had, only Manchester City could not provide space because there were many more quality players in the team so they sold him to Chelsea. Even if Palmer was still at Manchester City now, I am sure he would not develop because of the lack of playing minutes which affected his mentality and performance.

[KingsDen]

Well, Ten Hag has clearly been under a lot of pressure since last season and continuing into this season.

I don’t really know what the Manchester United problem is, but Manchester United performance has been poor since last season, but most of their fans were expecting improvement from Manchester United this season, because Ten Hag signed some players, and their is no difference. Six Premier League matches have been played, but Manchester United performance is poor, and things are even getting worse for them. Everyone just thinks it’s high time Ten Hag has to go because he has been given enough time, but there is no improvement, so it’s just obvious that Ten Hag is not capable of coaching the club, and he needs replacement.

Many people were against Manchester United coach last season because of his poor performance, but I was among the few who rather thought that he tried his best due to unavailability of players. I rather suggested that if quality players are giving him, Erik ten hang could do better this season.

But this season, I am quite surprised to understand that ETH is doing nothing different from what he did last season. And he would probably get even a poorer result than what he got last season. I have began to understand that the problem is the coach and not necessarily the players

[Richbased]

If we reflect on the experience of last season of course it is not surprising that we see that Arsenal are not beaten so far, but I think they will not be able to maintain it until the end of the season because their is still inconsistencies in their games.

I agree on your opinion about Arsenal because even though they haven't lost any game so far but they are yet to showcase a convincible performance that will give people the confidence of them winning the title this season because if we reflect at their last two matches in the premier league you will see that they made some very costly mistakes that they were not supposed to make because they were at advantage. I can't really say that they are inconsistent for now since they are yet to lose a match but i can say for sure that they can't be trusted at the moment till they have shown super capacity in their matches.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Yes he is a bit underrated among all the star players, I also don't no why is like that but it could be that the club he is playing for is the reason why he is not that noticeable because if Chelsea were to be very competitive on this premier League they would have seen more of Palmer but how can a player be ranked higher when they are not consistent, so inability for a club to be productive can have a negative effects on a player, so like I already mentioned if Palmer find himself on Manchester City his performance will even be better compare to this because the young star is very good and I think Chelsea will always look forward in trying to renew his contract.

Sometimes the right partner is needed to achieve top performance. We still remember how phenomenal Messi was when he played with Barcelona but not when he played with Argentina well, that's an example of how someone can't play optimally if they're not paired with the right players. Palmer may be in this situation so he can't be consistent, as a young player he still has a bright future no need to wait for him to move, just Chelsea find the right partner.

Chelsea know this player has potential so they have already secured his contract until 2033 which was extended since last August, it looks like Chelsea doesn't want Mbappe's case to happen again to this player. Chelsea also did the same thing to Nicolas Jackson securing players for the next 9 years.

I don't know why Manchester united manager cannot understand that Manchester United club is somehow too big for Ten Hag to manage and also EPL is too big for his weak strategy. This is why he is not progressing in EPL but in other English competition. Ten Hag was  able to win the trust of Manchester United management because of last season FA Cup finals that he won which automatically qualified him to Europa League.

Look at how the club is performing brilliantly in EFL but when it comes to EPL, they play as if they are scared of winning matches because the team lack the ability to outperform their opponents and make proper use of their chances when it comes in order to win the match. Scoring goals sometimes is a big problem to United. With all the support that Mnachester United management have given to Ten Hag, he still cannot achieve good results in his matches.

As seasons go by, I’m convinced that Manchester United is too big a club for Erik Ten Hag. Some managers  are not experienced enough to handle big clubs. This seems to be the case of Erik Ten Hag and it won’t be long until the club gets fed up with his mediocre performances and decide to buy him out of his contract. Erik Ten Hag is a good coach but his experience and expertise is not good enough for Manchester United, they need a better and more experienced coach.

[Adiljutt156]

Once again Manchester United had to swallow defeat at home but this is not a surprising result for me, I have started to get used to seeing Manchester United's poor performance, in terms of quality Tottenham is clearly better and it is true that Tottenham was able to beat Manchester United with a landslide score without reply, they really took advantage of Man United's weakness who lost one of their players before half-time and Tottenham seemed to be planning so that they could win and score many goals and as seen Tottenham scored the second goal after the second half started and added 1 more goal in the 77th minute and finally they won with a score of 3:0.

Tottenham football team is becoming strong because all players of that team are playing with ful strength and they are playing for their team and no one wants to make number in the eyes of audience and that is positive thing in these players and that is big reason of their success. Manchester United football team could not do any single goal which shows that di d not prepare for their future matches.  Tottenham has good position on points table which will give them good opportunity for the next matches and door for the success. That was the first time when Tottenham team won the match against Manchester United team . In the last 4 matches when both teams played against each other ,two matches were draw and Manchester United team won two matches.

[Nanga Parbat]

Manchester City is so weak at the moment just because of Erik ten Hag, because he has been with the team for so long. So he pushes his team to destruction at the last minute, the unique club has tried hard to reach the highest level from the lowest level. But the Manchester United team is only going towards the bottom of the points table, and losing again and again with the normal teams. So a striker is most needed in the squad of Manchester United team and changing the manager is the most suitable for the present time, because the change of coach will change the game of Manchester United team and with other teams they can definitely win by adopting better and better strategies.

But as far as Manchester I know, if Manchester are going to be weak, they are for a while.  Because there are better performance and stronger teams than Manchester.  Whose pressure is weakening Manchester.  But you will see that in a few matches, Manchester will return to the same good performance condition and will also get the same position.  It could also be Manchester's pride that is taking them down.  If their players have courage and play with good performance, they can win the match.  Where every Manchester used to defeat ordinary teams by a few goals, now they are defeated by them.  If Manchester don't focus on progress now, they will go further down.  But I am very sorry to hear and see that Manchester is going under pressure.  Yes, if Manchester feels this is the way to go, they should understand and do it.  Because for some time they will win this match and move towards their position.

[bitgolden]

The pressure is very big now and precisely because of that pressure, it makes Ten Hag increasingly difficult to develop the team that is currently slumping, Manchester United management seems to have no other choice but to retain Ten Hag but in the next few matches I think if Ten Hag still fails then it is not impossible that the peak of anger will be seen and Ten Hag will be fired, regardless of the losses that will be borne by the Manchester United team but that is one way to make the Manchester United team rise compared to retaining Ten Hag but the team is getting slumped.

The worst part is that he acts as if there is no pressure and the management is behind him and he has nothing to worry about. I do not know if he actually believes that he will not be fired, or if he just acts like he will not be fired but he never mentions or accepts that he might be fired.

INEOS is clearly thinking about firing him, there is no way they can keep him if United keeps losing points where they shouldn't, and if they keep this up then ETH could be fired. I am waiting for the next two games, if they lose to Porto and Villa, then he is going to be sacked, without a doubt.

There are some better managers as mentioned who are out there looking for a job, we can see one of them get hired as well and United will start the recovery process.

The hardest part is that they haven't gotten any better with so many different managers now, I do not know what they can do next ,if they hire someone and that person also does badly, then it will become very hard for them to move on. We know there is a problem with United that goes beyond ETH because they sucked before him too, and yet I do not know what the problem is, so we need to figure that out if we want United to be better in the future.

In the last 4 matches when both teams played against each other ,two matches were draw and Manchester United team won two matches.

Tottenham were stronger in the beginning of last season than this season, they had a better start last season compared to this season even though they played some tough matches in the beginning of this season which they did the same last season; they are generally strong because they have good players in their squad.

Defeating Manchester United is a great achievement for Tottenham, because they really needed the three points and also to prove people that thinks they can’t win match it out Son who was left out of their squad due to injury.
Wining Manchester United away from home helped the team to maintain their eight position in the Premier League table and sending Manchester United back to 13th position with just seven points after six games which looks embarrassing for team like Manchester United.

[jaberwock]

in as much as injury is not avoidable, it is not something both the players, the couch and even the fans want to hear about a player. If it eventually happens, it's not the first time Haaland is getting injured. It happened last season or previous two seasons. I can't really recall the exact season but it happened and he was still able to maintain the lead even after being out for several weeks. I won't be surprised if the same thing happen this season. As we can see from the stats, Haaland is already leading with a gap of two goals and Palmer who's second on the table doesn't have equal support like Haaland to score goals as much as possible. Palmer scored four in their last match by the way but we still have a long way to go since we are just six games away out of the thirty eight.

While I do agree that Haaland scores a lot of goals and he is a key figure for Manchester City, lets remember that he has been there for two seasons, this is his third if I am not wrong, and City won last 5 titles out of six, with four of them coming back to back. So that means they were good before him as well, he is not the reason why they win, so if they won without him, I am sure that they will do that again.

Not like if Haaland gets injured, that means they have to play with ten players, they will just put someone else in, and they will win like how they used to win. This isn't a simple thing, and I agree that City would hurt a lot, like how KDB was missing last year and they had trouble, but they didn't become terrible, they were ok enough compared to everyone else. Haaland scores a lot on unimportant games too, not like he scores on UCL knock out stages that much, so what they are missing would be some player who will score 4 goals against league last.

[gabbie2010]

Until week 6
1. Haaland is extraordinary because he has made 10 goals in only 6 matches, but he is a strong candidate for Top Score.
2. I look at the temporary ranking, there are 5 clubs that have not been able to win, Ipswich, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Southampton, and Wolves.
3. The funny thing is that Ipswich was able to be at number 15 with 4 draws.
4. Only Man City and Arsenal with a team that has never lost.

It's obviously Haaland may break another goal record this season provided that he is injury-free because of high score rate and playing forva star-studded club Man City with quality players who can provide him with assist.
There is the possibility of any of these clubs to fight relegation battle particularly Southampton, Ipswich, Leceister who just got promoted to premier league because they can't compete at the highest level.
While both Man City and Arsenal are yet to lose any match and both clubs has the same points with same goal differences, However definitely unbeaten run would soon end.
