⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Luzin]

Hearing about this must have really hurt Liverpool fans.    Because Klopp is having his 9th season there. This is quite a long time period similar to its being Simeone's 13th season at Atletico Madrid. Klopp has achieved really great successes with Liverpool. But it looks like he feels himself exhausted from now on. When he leaves I think Liverpool will try their chance with Xabi Alonso who is also doing great at Leverkusen. 

I see on Wikipedia that Kloop started coaching in 2001 in Mainz youth team and will probably end his career with Liverpool in 2024. This means that he has been thinking for 23 years about how to produce a team that does not lose. So if maybe he was tired, it was a reasonable excuse. Maybe he feels bored with his current job. Achievements at Liverpool are also good, he managed to give 7 titles in 8 years with Liverpool. Maybe if at the end of this season he can get the championship it will be a phenomenal farewell.

About Xabi, i thing Liverpool must be work hard to get Xabi. In Leverkusen He is very accomplished. Although indeed rumors of closeness with Real Madrid have been answered, because Ancelotti extended a new contract, he will not go to Real Madrid. But going to Liverpool also seems a little difficult, but maybe it can happen.

Manchester City's performance against Tottenham shows that need to have Haaland and De Bruyne on the field. This implies the importance of having a complete and well-balanced squad. Their form last season, when they clinched three trophies, implies the impact that missing key players can have on the team's overall dynamics. De Bruyne's return as a positive factor that allows him to contribute with his passing ability is a testament to his importance in the midfield.

The defensive efforts to maintain the score implies the importance of a well-rounded team performance. Son has become too important for Tottenham that him being unavailable gives sigficant effcet to team dynamics. Being able to perform optimally in the absence of key players is a crucial aspect of a team's success over the course of a season. It seems that both teams have similar issue in maintaining consistency and success throughout the season.

If the main player or mainstay player is absent, it will certainly have a slight impact on the team's performance, but in the Manchester City squad I don't think it's too excessive because the proof is that they are still able to win the match even though they are not with the full main squad.
Haaland and De Bruyne are indeed quite influential players and in terms of quality they are also above average, no one can deny that but I think even though there are no Haaland and De Bruyne, the Manchester City team is still strong.

Actually, I slightly disagree because I see that Manchester City without these two players would look a little different. We can see that since Haaland suffered an injury, Manchester City has had a decline in performance and failed to maintain first position and was pushed aside by several clubs such as Arsenal and Aston Villa.
But after De Bruyne's return, Manchester City's performance became very good again, trying to improve their performance even without Haaland, but De Bruyne key player was able to make this club a little more stable and reach second place again to slowly approach Liverpool.
As long as the mainstay players can returned soon, Manchester City will certainly soon return to leading the Premier League, but if they lose these two players again it will be a very big problems.

Yes, I also hope that Klopp can give Liverpool the Premier League title this season. It would be one of the best farewells in Liverpool history. To be honest I cried when I heard that Klopp was going to rest but as you said he has been a coach for 23 years and that is a very long time. He is a great coach who has had a great career. I think people will know Klopp as the Liverpool coach and honestly it would be very proud if you were known as the coach of one of the best clubs in the English league. Klopp has coached several clubs but when in retirement he became known as the Liverpool coach I think that is something to be proud of.

I saw this meme on the internet today and it really made me laugh. 

People have been criticizing Darwin Nunez quite much since his first season at Liverpool. Honestly I have also been doing the same because of his wasting so many goal chances. I really liked him when he was playing for Benfica as he was a goal machine. I don't know maybe he is overshadowed by Salah now but it an optimistic point of view though. We will find out about that if Salah leaves this summer.

By the way Nunez started to be productive by the recent games he played but let's see how consistent he will be.

23 years and still counting is really enough and worth taking a break from. Coaching a football club doesn’t seem pretty easy as it seem because you’ve got to devise new strategy weekly to get your club to always be on top, and also when things doesn't work out as plan, you'll also have to be prepared to handle the pressure and backlash from angry fans that could cause the board to terminate your contract.

 Jurgen though fallen short of this sometimes but most times have never failed to make sure his club comes out top. His stay at Liverpool has given the club 7 titles in 8 years and he could add one or 2 titles before his departure and that alone pens his name in the golden book of the club.Xabi to Liverpool seems somewhat possible but the board must be ready to work real hard to make this deal an accomplished one. He’s the best replacement to Klopp they could get and yes he’ll sure be a sweet addition to this Liverpool side.

The challenges that come with managing a football club, including devising squad and new strategies, handling pressure, and managing fan expectations, can indeed be demanding. Klopp's ability to consistently keep Liverpool at the top, delivering seven titles in eight years, is certainly commendable. His departure after such a successful period would undoubtedly leave a significant legacy at the club. Klopp has managed three clubs in his managerial career, and he managed to leave significant legacies at all three clubs. it's amazing.

The idea of Xabi Alonso potentially replacing Klopp at Liverpool adds an interesting perspective. Alonso, having been associated with Liverpool as a player, could bring a deep understanding of the club's culture. The success of such a managerial transition would depend on various factors, including the board's efforts to secure the deal and Alonso's adaptability to the managerial role. If the board manages to bring in Xabi Alonso as Klopp's successor, it could indeed be a strategic move to maintain the positive trajectory of the club. The prospect of Alonso adding a fresh perspective and continuing Liverpool's success makes it an intriguing possibility for the future of the club.

By the way Nunez started to be productive by the recent games he played but let's see how consistent he will be.

We don't know what the future holds, but due to injury of Salah, he must be a person who can create a goal to win the match. This is the right time for him to show his performance, most likely he will be play full time every liverpool match, all Klop's hopes are with him on the fields. at least now, he makes everyone happy, even if he don't make a goal, but his movement can outwit the fulham player so making it easier for Diaz to creating goal. He should have done this a long time ago, he had found his confidence, he looks charming when meet norwich last night.

Manchester City's attacking line was missing Haaland due to injury but he is said to be recovering and starting training, so this will sharpen the front line if he returns to play in the main squad including Kevin De Bruyne.
The FA is not the top priority but with this win all the fans have been cheering.

without haland the attack power of manchester city is very lacking, can be checked since halland injured manchester city's productivity is greatly reduced. often only won narrowly last against totenham hotspur manchester city only won 1-0 in the FA cup. in the english league currently manchester city is 5 points behind liverpool. quite a difficult time without haland. because the backup haland alvares striker from Argentina has not been as productive and has not fit into guardiola's game scheme.

At least there are still alvarez and de bruyne there. I can't deny that manchester city played so different compared to the when haaland was there and this is also becoming our main concern here about how haaland was able changing the situation to be even better. He was helping the club a lot to build the performance from the club.
The combination between haaland and de bruyen have been awating by so many people. Im sure that haaland and de bruyne will able to play together soon. It's just matter of time till haaland will be recovering from his injury. This is also threatening other club.

No doubt that if klopp was commenting the return of de bruyne in the club, it's caused by having de bruyne back in the squad was making it even stronger than before. The match city vs totenham in FA cup has proven that how strong manhcester city is.
People are starting to feel scared by seeing the performance from manchester cty which was able dominating the fully offensive team like totenham. Other club in EPL must be so careful with this. They can't even leave from the big pressures gave by manchester city.

Yes, but still Julián Álvarez is not as productive as Erling Haaland, his attacking quality is still very far from Haaland's, so it's only natural that Manchester City's condition is not as strong as when they still had Erling Haaland, and after Erling Haaland returns to the club I'm sure the quality of Manchester City's game will improve because of the combination. between Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland are very strong on the field and the contribution of both is very important to put pressure on the opposing club, if Erling Halaand has recovered Pep Guardiola doesn't feel worried anymore because he believes these two players will play very well, especially in the Premier League and Liga Champions.

Jurgen Kloop is certainly afraid that the return of Manchester City's two key players will be even stronger and could take over the first place currently occupied by Liverpool, therefore Jurgen Kloop feels under great pressure because Kloop's key player is injured, while Manchester City's key player returns. Liverpool's key player suffered an injury so Jurgen Kloop had to think hard so that his club would not experience a decline and continue to perform consistently.

Even with the strategic skills of coach Pep Guardiola, Manchester City can only be said to be still doing well, not as scary as last year. Without the most potent force, we have seen Man City go through many difficult matches recently. Clearly, Man City needs key players like Haaland or De Bruyne. It is never easy when they are without such important people. When the remaining players do not meet the perfect substitution requirements, each remaining player must try to contribute 10-20% more effort. Only then can the team win.
Erling Haaland has declined slightly compared to last season but still maintains a relatively stable scoring form. He is temporarily on par with Mohamed Salah in the -scorer. We can feel how happy De Bruyne's return makes Pep Guardiola. If Haaland returns, I bet Guardiola will be as happy as a festival.

As reported by https://www.90min.com/posts/andre-onana-afcon-returned-date-confirmed-by-erik-ten-hag

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that goalkeeper Andre Onana will return to Manchester United before Thursday after Cameroon's AFCON exit.

To be honest, if i would like to see onana played in the AFCON forever. This goal keeper sucks and he was not even worthy enough to be the main goal keeper for manchester united. Ten hag has been confirming when he will be back to the united but i was praying for him never comeback again. MU is just getting back its disaster again.
It's quite surprising me to see that how onana was not even able performing good even in AFCON. he was always making so many blunders on AFCON and i have been seeing his meme from AFCON many times. It sounds shit to hear that ten hag is feeling happy to see him back again.

What a fuckin disaster for manchester united. I believe him when he came to the united but i distrust him now after so many terrible performances from onana. His performance in afcon has been showing how bad he was as a goalkeeper. He deserves no place in the manchester united.
Ten hag has no time to get a new goal keeper and this is shit. I hoped that if ten hag would get a new goal keeper but i was wrong. This terrible guy is still becoming the main goal keeper of manchester united.

It is quite shocking to see such a terrible decision being made by Ten Hag at this moment. I don't like this. What a fuckin scam transfer from intermilan. Why doesn't ten hag to tell him comeback to the club next year.

He should have done this a long time ago, he had found his confidence, he looks charming when meet norwich last night.

He has been performing and showing he can be the next leader of the attack eventually when Jurgen Klopp finally leaves. Hopefully, whoever comes in makes good use of the lad because he has begin taking responsibilities for himself and the club in the absence of Mo Salah which would gradually turn him into a big game player.
Asides him has got to be Diego Jota alongside Curtis Jones these are the names we've seen representing the reds with all of the might and blood.

It take some people long time to adapt,bit whenever they adapt they make the league feel like they're owner's of the goals scored and them Competitions. Great game there against Norwich they was always better and four steps ahead of em.

I really don't know what Erik Ten Hag sees in Andrea Onana that we ain't seeing, he's conceded a goal in a short period of arrival to the club, and get worst each week, he's very poor in decision making and stays out of position most times, coupled with the fact that his weight makes if difficult for him to dive properly and make a save when necessary, most people are complaining about Uniteds defense being poor, well they're right but David Degea performed better with a more poor defense than United have currently and didn't concede as Onana has currently.

 Onana's performance in the AFCON has proved that he's not really the quality of goalie United should be alowing to get a starting place in their club and I hope ETH has taken note on that and work on getting a replacement by summer, cause I see them going nowhere with Onana in front of the goal line. The Turkish goalie should be given more opportunities if you ask me.

Jesus Christ! All these text because of Andrea Onana? You need to do the calms, take a deep breath and try not to see Manchester United games for a while because Andrea Onana would be back and whatever would be would be. You can go on making comments but you just have to pray and hope he is being dropped from the first eleven.
The second choice goalkeeper also did well yesterday though but conceded two goals thanks to the attackers who scored four goals to keep them ahead of the game.

Andrea Onana off course worked with Erik Ten Hag during them days at Ajax, Edwin Van DER Ser also made recommends for Manchester United to get him signed up. I think he just needs a new some upgrades with defenders to get him well guided in difficult times like this, you have no other option but to support your own.

I must have to say Manchester United has made a lot of bad decisions recently. It doesn't matter if they like it or not, they will have to live with those decisions, and this is one of them.

You know Manchester United had a really good goalkeeper. I don't understand why they actually let him go when the defense was not performing well and the defense was the actual one to blame. Meanwhile Manchester United coach saying that Harry Maguire is the most important player for them.

Well I am pretty sure that he at least said that Harry Maguire cannot be sold because Harry Maguire was an essential piece of the puzzle in the defense or something like that when I think West Ham made an offer of 25 million for him.

Anyway I believe Manchester United is not going to improve in a quick time and they have a lot of problems to solve.

Manchester United and Chelsea are no doubts two poor sides so far and has taken forever before they bounce back to the top for good. Meanwhile Manchester United jas nothing clearly to boast of this season, Chelsea has the Carabao Cup Competition finals ahead next month. A good chance to see them winning against Liverpool and also Pochetino Mauricio winning a trophy for the first time. I hope they do through coz they've suffered from last season and this very season.

The final round of the EFL Cup is really likely to be lovely. However Chelsea just can't beat Liverpool in such cup games for quite long. They played two final rounds against each other in the FA Cup and EFL Cup in the 2021/22 season. Liverpool beat them by penalty shoot-outs in both of the matches. Chelsea had better get well-prepared. 

Klopp must be relieved to hear Salah's injury not being a serious one. His expected return date is the end of the month. Another great news for Klopp is that Egypt were eliminated by D.R. Congo last night so Salah won't go back to AFCON after his recovery.

I also have the feeling that Chelsea might find it difficult to win Liverpool in the match, their performances have really been poor this season. I am just surprised that they have been able to reach the EFL final, they have really been inconsistent, but I have noticed a slight improvement in their matches lately. Let's see if they will be able to surprise everyone in their match against Liverpool. Chelsea's performance is always good when they are playing against strong clubs, so let’s see what will happen in the match. I know it won’t really be an easy match for Chelsea, but let’s see how the two teams will perform.

[borovichok]

Anyway I believe Manchester United is not going to improve in a quick time and they have a lot of problems to solve.

The first issue they must address is Onana. If you have a bad goalkeeper, you will continue to get awful outcomes. This happened to Chelsea this season with Sanchez, and since he was injured, Petrovic has restored trust in the backline, and the squad is keeping a lot of clean sheets and winning games again.

Klopp must be relieved to hear Salah's injury not being a serious one. His expected return date is the end of the month. Another great news for Klopp is that Egypt were eliminated by D.R. Congo last night so Salah won't go back to AFCON after his recovery. 

Lol. Salah was hoping for his side to be eliminated so that he could return to Liverpool without the media hounding him. I won't be surprised if he starts against Chelsea in midweek.

I'm placing my bets on Chelsea anyways, i just want to see Mauricio Pochetino win his first ever trophy and silverware as a manager.
Christopher Nkuku also has been reported to be back from Injury and also training with the squad as at this early morning. Chelsea fans also knows this is the only trophy they can use to back them woeful and poor season I hope to see some changes though not for Liverpool to take the wins this time around.

Yeah, Jurgen Klopp should be pretty excited because he said it during the early days of Mo Salah leaving the club for the African Cup of Nations Competitions. He should also leave the club Liverpool if JK leaves at the end.
