⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

[wakier]

this match schedule is what puts pressure on Arsenal to have difficulty winning the EPL title and beating Man City, Man United, Liverpool and Spurs is not an easy task for Arteta while Arsenal also has to fight in another competition against Bayern Munich.
from this match schedule, it can be seen that Arsenal failed to win the EPL title and on the one hand, in terms of performance, the Arsenal players are not ready to accept a lot of pressure like this.
but I have to praise Arteta current achievement in being at the top of the standings and being able to qualify for the quarter finals, even though it's only temporary, it's a pretty good achievement.

Arsenal's schedule looks really tough indeed.    Arsenal are going to play away against all of the opponents you mentioned at the same time. This is adding like an extra difficulty into their work. There is an Aston Villa game at Emirates as well in the meantime which could be considered as a challenging game by the way. They beat Arsenal home before.

At the end of the day I wouldn't be very surprised if Arsenal don't make it to the league title once again. Arteta is really doing his best though with the squad he has in his hands.    I would really like to see him managing a team with a much stronger squad in the future.

Because these 2 tough matches made most people doubt Arsenal because the opponents they faced were rivals competing for the title, we know Arsenal's performance is very good this season but to beat these 2 teams feels very difficult. If in the end Arsenal fails again, it can't be helped that Mikel Arteta has done the best he can.

It's not certain yet on which tema musiala will join. There have been some rumors said it was chelsea or liverpool. Arsenal has not become a strongest candidate to get him from bayern. Even though if club was able getting him and it will be a pre agreement as the transfer is still blocked till the opening of summer transfer season.
No reason to put musiala as a potential name to help arsenal here. It's not yet clear about musiala's future as even the player still say nothing regarding this. I think that the news that was reporting him to go to the arsenal totally fake.

There are many news that were talking about his possibility to leave from bayern to join in another club. It means that everything related to him still remain unclear this time. Im only guessing that if musiala will make his premier league move rather than stay much longer in bayern munich.
The fact that if musiala was coming to the bayern as a rookie but he has proven himself by spent a few years and his price has been going very high.

City will face arsenal but the gunner will play without musiala since it's only still a rumor. Even if musiala will come to the arsenal and he will not play too. It's very far from saying that if musiala will be playing soon.
Everything about him is still remain questionable coz he has not decided yet his final decision.

Jamal Musiala is one young talent that needs to explore further challenges across Europe especially as Bayern aren’t doing well this season. So it’s safe to say he wants to leave. Now which clubs are in the chase, Arsenal haven’t admitted fully that they want him because even as you check you can see the many options Arsenal have upfront that midfield, and that means Musiala might not have the many playing time he needs in the Arsenal team. Liverpool and Chelsea are in the chase also for this young talent.

 He came from the Chelsea academy and I feel he might want to return there if the club can try to secure European football and yes he can play in the Chelsea team as this can be the reason why Gallagher will be leaving. Also in the Liverpool team I think he can still fit in that squad as head very good while attacking and Liverpool loves and needs a player like him. Yes he’ll help in the attacking prowess of any team he finds himself and as a Chelsea fan I would say yes he’s a good option but not what the club needs right now.

 From the table of the player, zero word has been communicated so we can still say everything still remains a speculation. Yes, speculations because he still has the powers to make the final decisions but like the say in every rumor there’s an element of truth in it. With a case like this, I think Musiala will be headed to Anfield as that’ll be a perfect club for his style of play. Manchester City vs Arsenal still remain a match of focus and I don’t think Jamal will be finding ot easy if he’s in the Arsenal squad as the team is already blessed with many options in hid position.

Arsenal position is indeed threatened, even though their appearance is full of stability, the EPL is quite tight in fighting for trophies. Therefore, Liverpool and Manchester City will never give up until the end of the season. Arsenal is faced with a tough match and at the same time tests the extent of teamwork between players and coaches. For example, Chelsea looks easy to beat, but in reality it won't be that easy. Another fact that we can see is that Chelsea always performs well if the opponent is a top team, then after facing a fairly strong opponent, Arsenal can't relax much because their next most ambitious rival is waiting, the stamina of Arsenal's players has really been tested this season.

[emrecemsan]

For this season, how possibilities for Arsenal win the premier league behind huge pressure from Liverpool and Manchester City?

As for Arsenal's chance to win the Premier League title this season I have quite big doubts. I'm saying it despite being aware of how great they have been for many weeks. Because their remaining fixture is really tough. There are matches like Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United and all of them are away. 

This makes me think like maybe we might see a similar scenario to previously for Arsenal this season. Just like they did in the previous one they might mess it up on the final weeks and lose their chance to be the title winner. I would really like to see them proving me wrong though.

We all know how the English league continues to present strong competition between teams even when the league has entered the last week, from that we can be sure there is currently if one team that makes one mistake then they will be out of the Premier League champion competition this season, Arsenal so far has been able to surprise us by continuing to be in the championship competition in contrast to last seasons which is usually when times like this Arsenal have Out of the championship path for example like last season, currently the three teams competing , must be able to take advantage of every gap that exists from the weaknesses of their opponents to be able to get a victory including when in the match later between Arsenal and Manchester City.

The match against Manchester City will be a test of how mentally strong Arsenal are currently in competing for the EPL trophy, and it is important for them to win the game even if it is difficult, because after all if Arsenal can win of course their mentality to win the EPL will increase, including with the increase in player confidence when it comes to facing other team in league,  The last time I saw Arsenal win was in 2003/04 and it's been a long time for Arsenal fans to wait for the excitement of the EPL trophy celebration again and this season is a great opportunity for them to break the trend of failing to win the EPL trophy.

[tusandii]

Aston Villa could have increased the gap with Tottenham more maybe but they are still in good condition in top four. An advantage of three points is really valuable and I'm curious about how successful Emery will be about maintaining their presence there. There isn't any game left between Aston Villa and Tottenham to be played by the way.

Both of these teams have difficult games left against title challengers in the league. However Tottenham's fixture seems more difficult as in a time period they are going to play against Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool consecutively.    If Aston Villa use their fixture advantage better we can see them in the Champions League next season.  

Actually, discussing the opportunities of these two clubs is not too dangerous because they both have almost the same schedule, but what we should discuss here is the threat of Manchester United which will be able to shift the position of Tottenham and even Aston Villa.
Like last season, Manchester United showed a much more consistent and surprising performance in the remaining matches and were able to reach the top 3 positions and this is what Tottenham and Aston Villa must be wary of because the difference in points of 9 points could be achieved in the remaining 9 matches.

In my opinion, in the Premier League this season it is really very interesting to see the very tight competition, not only in the top 3 but also in the top 5, which is very tense on the hand, the relegation zone also has quite interesting competition.
But I am a little confident and believe that Manchester United will finally be able to shift Tottenham position or even catch up with Aston Villa and Manchester United can consistently get 6 wins, they will definitely be able to shift Aston Villa position.

Manchester United are too far behind, now they are 9 points behind Aston Villa and also the quality/consistency of the Manchester United team is not that good, in the last 5 matches the Manchester United team has only been able to win 3 times so I think Manchester United is not a serious threat to Aston Villa and also Tottenham are in the race for 4th position.

Now Aston Villa is at a slight advantage because Tottenham's remaining matches this season face many tough opponents so the percentage of Tottenham losing points in these matches is very large. In terms of quality, Tottenham has really declined now so I think it is very likely that Aston Villa can maintain their position until the end of the season.

Moving to Chelsea? They don't even have a good coach, not to talk about what role he'll b useful? They have both Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkuku playing behind the striker, they have Raheem Sterling and Madueke playing on the wings as well Mudryk, he won't be having enough game time if he moves to Chelsea.

Most successful and suitable club for him would be Manchester City. I'm sure they'd want to sell off Kevin De Bruyne and Jamal Musiala wouldn't hesitate to work with Josep Pep Guardiola.

As for Arsenal, they have Odegaard right now in a red hot form, they can't drop him for musiala and what are the chances of winning the Premier League Competition or the Champions League Competition? Believe me that lad wants to win trophies not to come around sitting on the bench.

[blue Snow]

Manchester United cannot be underestimated, now their performance is improving while Tottenham and Aston Villa are also not guaranteed to be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season so I think the battle for 4th position is still possible to be very fierce until the end of the season.
To be in the top 4 of the Premier League standings is not only about quality but also about mentality and Manchester United has it better than Aston Villa and Tottenham.

Yes sure, but because MU's performance hasn't been very convincing this season, Many bettors doubt that they will play well and be able to take 4th place on the stand. Aston Villa and Tottenham so far is good, their statistics are better which have 5 match draws and 7 lost, while MU has 2 draws and 11 lost. this will be a careful calculation if we want to bet MU to be able for the next Champions League zone. Maybe if we want to be more sure, MU would be more suited to being in the European zone.

The truth is that I wouldn't have much hope for the MU because they are obviously not showing their best side, everyone wants to see the MU well, but it is something that we don't Know how they can do it, whether good or bad, because basically the things they have Done is blur a clear lack of profitability, so based on these things it can be said that Aston Villa and Tottenham have the classification in their hands, what they should not do or allow is for MU to beat them, but in reality they are in a very good Position , and that is something they should take advantage of, I don't know how much difference they can make, but these teams can make a difference on any side, Aston Villa in particular I Really like what they have been doing.

'If Man Utd sack Erik ten Hag, it needs to be worthwhile - don't just appoint a Negative Nigel'

Gareth Southgate is the bookmakers' favourite to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

It doesn't take much money to shift the bookies' manager markets, but Southgate is now their front-runner for the job following a report claiming he is Sir Jim Ratcliffe's priority target.

That hasn't gone down well with the majority of United fans, who don't want to see Southgate manage at Old Trafford after his tenure with England. The 53-year-old hasn't won a trophy in his managerial career and he relegated Middlesbrough in his last club job.

I also think, because the MU is not doing anything well, things are not working out for them, I don't know, but I think this is very particular because things with Ten Hag he has done everything to improve, but honestly he can't, so I believe that this rent clearly affects the objectives of the Team, I only see that it has made them go backwards and that they do not have any type of benefits, now, these types of things are what we should see, I in particular have always said that things can go well when changes occur, in the case of Ten Hag, I would have replaced him a long time ago, but I find it very difficult for the MU to make a difference now, Tottenham and Aston Villa depend on Themselves to ensure that can make a difference, and that's all I've seen so far.

Considering the conditions Chelsea has been in for a couple of years I wouldn't expect any promising young star to pick Chelsea over another rich and more successful big team. It wouldn't make sense unless the player only cares about money rather than career development. Everyone knows how bad Chelsea has been about using its money for transfers.

Spending an amount around 1 billion euros in 2 years and getting literally 0 positive result from that... This is just terrible kind of management. Todd Boehly isn't a good club owner imho. Did Chelsea have a bad season under Abramovich's presidency? Of course, but they weren't this bad for a long time.

Much money spending by Chelsea to players underrate values and less experience on the bigger team or winning some tittles with their previous teams before, exceptional for Enzo Fernandez when Chelsea spending more than 100 million for him but the other players such as Mykhailo Mudryk and Moisés Caicedo become panic buying after some teams interested with them but I don't think they will pay higher values offer than Chelsea.
I have the same viewed with you about new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is not really good owner football club, he doesn't know well when spending much money for overrate players and difference the era Roman Abramovich most effective when spending money for signing top players. Have been three season under Todd Boehly but he can't give Chelsea any one tittle and most terrible fail finish on Champion League spot place.

Chelsea has changed managers 4 times during the 2 years under Boehly's ownership.
Guardiola need a year before he able to win the Premier League title for Mancity, and Kloop even took 3 years to win the Premier League with Liverpool.

Chelsea must give Pochentino more time, and stop buying a lot of expensive players who have never played in the Premier League before.
These Chelsea players are now just run and run but with no results, there are too many individual mistakes because the players on the field are not yet completely united.

[Distraction]

I can agree about Chelsea's manager actions lately. Since they parted ways with Tuchel they haven't gone for a long term with any manager.  

Here is the list of managers they have signed and parted ways with since then:



Pochettino might seem to be likely to stay much longer but we never know. The board look impatient about their decisions on a manager. If Pochettino is left free about bringing the players of his choice then maybe things can start getting better for Chelsea next season. If things are still negative then there is no problem to give a different manager a chance.

Regardless of the odds from the game between Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester United considered with less chances of winning the game against Liverpool finally came up to be victorious. How many people doubted them that day? So worry less about who wins or not for now, just anticipate interesting flow of football between these two clubs as they go down on the 31 of this month to decide who remains on top of the Premier, or who drops point for the other. Lol.

Tottenham Hotspur are no challenge to Arsenal, Manchester United could try but over the last few seasons, Manchester United have been raped by Arsenal on several occasions.

Another shocker during the weekend might also be for Liverpool to drop points at home against Brighton or they get to share a point at the end of that game. The news of Alexander Arnold to Real Madrid gaining momentum, it does seem like it will happen. Only that he is a very lazy player and sucks at defending. Good he won't be playing against a winger like Kylian Mbappe. Lol

I see Chelsea has an improvement, but since most people always want results, I believe Chelsea will sack Pochettino in the next season because Chelsea currently at 11th position. At least they need to reach to top 5 positions, so this will make people think Chelsea is strong because they can qualify to Europa league.

Defenders are the biggest problem in Chelsea, they need to kick two Frenchmen i.e. Disasi and Badiashile, they're tend to make blunders or scoring own goals.

IMO, Todd and Beghdad are waiting patiently for their chosen coach to deliver the results unlike abramovich which will sack the coach at that time when it gets bad result. It can be seen in how Graham Potter stayed for more than half of the season despite being a flop. Saltor shall be rewarded for managing Chelsea for only two days as a manager with shortest period in managing a club.

The main issue is that Todd and Beghdad do not know how to select the right coach, as Abramovic did. Chelsea's result clearly explains it. Pochettino has been bringing his choices to Chelsea.
Not all of the transfers are initiated by the club's owners. It is incorrect to assume that Pochettino does not have the authority to choose which players will be recruited to join the club. The only issue is that Todd Boehly frequently intervenes in the club's affairs.

As the club's owner, he can have a more positive attitude and trust the coach to manage the club. I've heard that Todd Boehly initiated some transfers that were not even good to begin with.

There is one week left for next round games to be underway. This week seems like a golden opportunity for Liverpool for now. Because you know there is a big game at Etihad like Manchester City - Arsenal. I assume Liverpool wouldn't leave the Brighton game at Anfield by a loss right?     It would be a shame if it happens as they have to take advantage of every chance for the title.

Manchester City can be really unpredictable in such games. A draw in this game would be the best result for Liverpool but they wouldn't say no to Arsenal's losing either at worst. Let's see whether Klopp will manage to make Liverpool champions one last time before leaving.

Obviously, this is another ample opportunity presented to Liverpool to grab this points to try to climb back on top of the Premier League table after that they slipped down to the second position lately, And in the game between Manchester city and Gunners, I doubt if Manchester City would give Arsenal that chance to grab whole of 3 points from their hand and in their home soil 😉. So for Liverpool, Winning this game is crucial for them to still be in the title race this very season.

Yes, these two big clubs will soon meet in the Champions League quarter-finals next April and we know that Real Madrid is a team that often wins every match and Manchester City is also a team that remains in the Champions League and I say that match will be between the two teams will be very exciting and will not be missed by fans.
And with such great appreciation that both teams are considered very superior and worthy of advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and of course this will also be used by football betting enthusiasts when placing bets on their favorite teams later.
