⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

[Zlantann]

When it comes to Mane and what he gave to Liverpool in the six years of service he was their player, it was high quality. As it stands neither Diaz, Nunez or Jota are anywhere near being his replacement. When Salah will not have Mane making those assists and those runs for him allowing Salah to score, then the real impact of Mane not being there will be felt.

There is a popular saying that states that you don't know the quality of what you have until you lose it. Sadio Mané is a classic player and Liverpool would feel his absence. He has just made the top three list for the CAF African footballer of the year to prove his quality and class. He was the brain behind the success of Mohamed Salah. Diaz, Nunez or Jota are all exceptional players but it would take them a lot of hard work and experience to fit into the class of Mane. One cardinal quality of Mane is that he is selfless in from of goal unlike, Salah that want to always get the goal.

That's true. But there is also no irreplaceable player. They will certainly miss Mané in the early days. But, this is where the quality of the coach comes in, in readjusting the team and the tactics, so that this lack is mitigated. I believe that Klopp is a very good coach, to make the necessary adjustments to the team, so that it feels as little as possible. Now it will be inevitable, to feel this absence.

Well here how I think how the top 6 teams in will stand in order at the end of the 22/23 season  

Manchester City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Manchester United
-----
Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal
-----

I think Liverpool will suffer without Mane but ten Hag will have a positive impact at Manchester United. At the same time Tuchel will try to elevate Chelsea to another level.

I don't see Manchester City becoming the next English premier league Champions this season , though they got good team and Coach including every other things needed for a club to lift the trophy or be the Champions , reason is that Manchester City/ Pep Guardiola main interest/focus is in the UEFA champions League and they're working acidiously to achieve that with their recent signings of players like Erling Harland ,So lifting that trophy will be there main target come this season.Therefore I see either Liverpool or Chelsea on leaderboard to becoming the next English premier league Champions.

@JollyGood Arsenal have brought some amazing player’s and so has Tottenham in this current transfer window, hence I would not underestimate these two sides. @Franctoshi Manchester City are the favourites for me as they have the most stable squad, plus with Halland they’re now guaranteed to score lots of goals hence I just can’t see any other team beating them for the title.

Liverpool might suffer around two seasons without winning anything or properly challenging for any trophy while they come to terms with the departure of Mane. It will take time any other player to fill his void and in the process Liverpool as a team will find it hard to win the league or any cup.

That's true. But there is also no irreplaceable player. They will certainly miss Mané in the early days.

Mane is replaceable just as any other player but until someone is able to fill that void Liverpool will suffer. It will be an interesting statistic to see the goals Salah scores without Mane helping him.

This is the Premier League, I will not underestimate any team at all because it is the most competitive in the world. Chelsea and Manchester City have strengthened their squads but selling to Sterling to Chelsea could come back to haunt Manchester City and as for Tottenham and Arsenal they along with Manchester United will entertain as usual as they fight for a top 4 finish.

Mane is replaceable just as any other player but until someone is able to fill that void Liverpool will suffer. It will be an interesting statistic to see the goals Salah scores without Mane helping him.

Undoubtedly. Now, I believe Klopp will certainly adjust his game strategy/tactics to the new players he has at his disposal, in order to make up for this absence. Even so, it will always take a while to adjust.

[JollyGood]

What you said would apply to all managers, once they lose a player they replace him with another at their disposal therefore in that sense it is nothing new. Where things will get tricky for Klopp will be trying to get a player replicate what Mane brought to the team.

The players he currently has in the squad are full of potential but right now are not good enough at this stage to do even 50% of what Mane was doing therefore you are right it will take time to adjust.

What will happen to Liverpool during that period of adjustment is an open question. I think they will suffer, they will fail to challenge for the Premier League and will not get beyond the quarter-finals of the champions league. I think this season will be a huge setback for Liverpool because Mane was a brilliant player for them and his work and efforts cannot be replaced immediately.

@JollyGood Mane wasn’t just a player he was that piece of the puzzle that was sticking this Liverpool side together, and constantly pushing them to win hence it’ll take a season or two to replace him. Lastly I’m not really sure that Salah will be fine without him, because I’m personally expecting him to score less goals this season due to Mane’s transfer.

[JollyGood]

I agree Salah will miss Mane and it will affect his gameplay but the fact remains Salah is a dangerous player who scores goals for fun therefore I would not be surprised if he managed another season with at least 20 premier league goals. If he fails to reach 20 goals then quite clearly it will be the Mane effect being felt.

When Mane made it clear he wanted to leave for a new challenge there was nothing Klopp and Liverpool could do in trying to persuade him to stay but I think he was not treated with as much love and respect that he deserved. Salah got too much attention and focus but Mane deserved his fair share.

City are perfectly capable of winning both Premier League and Champions League trophies, so they won't be sacrificing any tournaments. The Premier League is now probably the strongest championship in the world and winning it is also very prestigious. City can sacrificing the League Cup and the FA Cup, but the Premier League has always been City's main goal, as well as the desire to win the Champions League.

Mane was brilliant, scoring goals and creating plenty of chances and his performances have won back the trust of Liverpool fans. And I think he was one of the most dangerous players when he was in the EPL.
Mane was a good striker and player during his time at Liverpool but Salah was the backbone of this team and I am sure there will be changes for Liverpool and also Salah because Mane and Salah are a very good pair but sadly separated.

I think Manchester City and Liverpool will still dominating the EPL, Chelsea might join them too but I am not sure. About Manchester United, I still think it will be hard for them to get to the top 4, seeing the Tottenham and Arsenal Squad, I think Manchester United will be having hard time competing them to get the 4th position. I know Leicester hasn't done anything in this Transfer Window but I really hope can do something in the League Season.

[JollyGood]

How did you conclude Manchester City were capable of winning both the Premier League and Champions League in the same season? What has changed for them this season that is different from the previous seasons? Can you elaborate?

If you look closely, not much has changed at Man City compared to previous seasons, where they gave everything to get the Champions League victory - but they weren't able to.

This new season, I believe there will be more competition in the Premier League, and in the Champions League there will also be more teams capable of fighting for the knockout stages.

[JollyGood]

I think they made a big statement with their purchase of Haaland but they have lost a phenomenal talent in Sterling and he has gone on to make their rivals (Chelsea) much stronger.

I am not sure if losing Sterling will affect Manchester City as much as say Liverpool will suffer by losing Mane, but if I had a choice of keeping Sterling or selling him to Chelsea and gaining Haaland - I would opt to keep Sterling.

The biggest news Manchester City had this season was their manager Guardiola staying on. As long as he is there they will have cohesion, he is a brilliant manager and maybe he can get them to another Champions League final.

maybe the scenario where Man City wins both competitions is quite realistic.
the two strongest opponents in recent years will be weaker in the next season. Liverpool sell Mane, to be hone,st I don't think that Nunez can completely replace Mane, at least not in the first PL season, also there are rumours that Firminho will also leave. So, Klopp will have to adapt a little or wait for the players to adapt to him. That is a process.

Next is Chelsea, they have completely destroyed their defence and no matter what masters they bring, it will still take time for them to all click. this is a process also. I am of the opinion that he will even lose his place in the top 4 this year.
Arsenal and Man United both look much better in preseason matches, they play a weaker competition in Europe and they will be able to calculate and rest important players. even Tottenham, unless Konte makes some chaos like the one in Chelsea at the end.

on that side, City is in the best position and has the least amount of changes. Some players from the bench have been left and they got a world-class striker. I wouldn't be surprised if they build up a sufficient supply of points very early, so they will be able to focus on CL.

[JollyGood]

Manchester City most definitely seem to be the most stable of the top 6 clubs because of the buying and selling they did was fractional yet impressive. Haaland and Phillips were purchased and Sterling was sold to Chelsea.

If you believe Chelsea will suffer immensely because of losing their defence then you are probably right, I dismissed that thought before but after reading what you wrote it is possible a rampant Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United could edge out Chelsea in the fight to finish in the top 4 but Liverpool will also find it difficult to finish as runners-up behind Manchester City.

I am looking forward to the season. Not long to go now

On Prematch, we can see Chelsea enough difficult to defeat opponent, lost 0-4 versus arsenal, lost penalty shootout versus Charlotte and only narrow win 2-1 versus Club America . Tuchel is also convincing if next session, Chelsea will face many challenges from big 6 clubs, what else lose a lot of competition to get a new player from top club premier league. So, If they don't have a big evaluation, Chelsea will get finish under top 4. we have to see the last prematch versus Udinese in 30 July, if still don't have progress, we have to surrender Chelsea to the right person.

[JollyGood]

Are you using a translator to post? I asked because a lot of your text is very difficult to piece together. I think you are saying that if Chelsea have an underwhelming pre-season then they should replace Tuchel, is that correct?

I think Tuchel is the right person to lead Chelsea, the players have responded to him and he is still relatively new in the job yet still won the Champions League with them and took them to a top 3 finish last season.

I think that evaluating a coach or a team just for the pre-season is a mistake, especially for a coach like Tuchel.

In addition, it is very common for teams to do very well for seasons and then in the season itself, they have poor performances. And there is also the opposite, bad pre-seasons and then great seasons.
