⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

A good gambler should not at this time gamble that Liverpool will win a match. Apart from the quality of footballers in a particular team and the experience of the coach, we should not underrate one important thing that determines winning and that is motivation. When a team is not motivated, they will actually do nothing inspiring. As we all can see, Liverpool has lost their motivation for the chase of English Premier League title and even across all the titles in this season so the driving force they needed was not there anymore to perform well. So, it will be we stay off them till this season ends.

Liverpool have been eliminated from the Europa League and FA, while the Premier League trophy is of course impossible for them to get at the moment after falling far enough behind Arsenal and Manchester City, the only positive thing Liverpool can achieve this season is to stay third and ensure a Champions League ticket next season is in their hands,  Liverpool performance has dropped dramatically this season of course no one predicted, because previously Liverpool and Manchester City were very favorites to be able to compete for the Premier League championship this season compared to Arsenal, Liverpool previously many predicted that they could continue to stick to Manchester City, because the rest of their matches which were considered easier with they just against weak teams, But in fact, this season they have to be eliminated from the weak team.

Gambling for Liverpool victory is of course no longer what we dare to do, because indeed their performance is poor and very inconsistent even against teams whose level is below them so far, but it seems that betting for goal opportunities in parlay can certainly be the right choice in my opinion when Liverpool play.

Liverpool is definitely not a team to consider when looking for direct wins now because they are playing with their lowest morale at the moment, having lost out of the Premier League and the Europa League as well. Their crashing should be one thing to study in the history of football because till this point, no one can clearly explain where their problem started neither is there any solution in view. My wish is that Liverpool does not face the challenges Manchester United is facing now when next season comes because there are indications that they might run into problems when Klopp leaves as many fans have expressed less enthusiasm in their new coach.

The second half of the Tottenham vs City game will soon be underway. I still believe that City will win the game so I've taken a ML bet for City here at BcGame. Odds have been bumped from 1.45 to 1.60, it might go higher but I'm not going to take the chances as I expect City to win this game. Tottenham has been solid in the first half but their inability to cover the right side of their defense might just give City the breakthrough they want.

[Woodie]

Haaland adds another goal to his name to make it 26 goals which widens the gap between him and closest rival Palmer for the golden boot race and most importantly gets the goal that gets them closer to the title which should break Arsenal's hearts and Citeh haters... otherwise am rooting for another CITY title which puts Arsenal back on the chase next season and hope the don't lose momentum...

[coinlocket$]

in the end Manchester City managed to prevail even if with a few too many thrills.

Haaland gives the club the 3 points and Guardiola could now win his fourth consecutive Premier League.

Only a catastrophic defeat in the next match could undermine the success.
With tonight's goals, Haaland also secured the title of the league's best scorer, which wasn't certain until just 2 days ago, then he went crazy.

It was a tough match and Som Huming could have given Arsenal fans a chance to smile if he has converted the one -one chance he had just few minutes before Haaland doubled the lead for Manchester City.

Just as you said, it is almost over this season and City have 90% chance of winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title in a row if they defeated West Ham United in the final day of the season. I know that many Arsenal fans will be thinking of West Ham to help them out on the final day which I think will not be possible because all the teams that should have stoped City couldn’t succeed.

Manchester City is one step away from securing the championship title, in fact I am sure they will be able to do it because in the last match Manchester City will play at home. In today match Manchester City performance was quite good where Haaland was able to score two goals which put him in first place as the top scorer. Manchester City success in today match was of course welcomed cheerfully by fans because Manchester City was able to finish the match against a strong team by winning.

Pep Guardiola will of course break another record if he is able to lead Manchester City to consecutive championships because up to now no other team has been able to become champions 4 times in a row. Arsenal still has a chance but I think Arsenal chance is quite small because Manchester City is 2 points ahead.

Only if Arsenal had won that game against Aston Villa, I won't place blames on Son for not scoring that goal tonight when he had the chance.

Erling Haaland scored the penalty, bit I can't forget that it was Jeremy Doku who won them this game with that penalty. The Media has been so quiet about whatever going between Josep Pep Guardiola and Jack Grealish. A hundred million signature player on the bench? They could put him up for sale same way they did with Raheem Sterling. But Manchester United will drag Erik Ten Hag for penalizing players that don't behave well? Lol!

Congratulations to him as he has finally done it back to back, thanks to his teammates who always pass him the ball to score.

I don't expect Manchester City to continue their title streak this season - they've gone too far, certainly given their dominance of the title in recent seasons.

Arsenal must be able to stop that - but Manchester City are unstoppable despite having some tough games in recent weeks. City have won 8 games in a row since being held 0-0 against Arsenal - so I can tell you how difficult it will be to topple them.

To be honest - I was disappointed with the way Liverpool ended this season in the Premier League, we lost the best momentum when we had to let Jurgen Klopp go at the end of the season. Liverpool deserved to win the title this season - but everything fell by the wayside when the team lost their balance.

I'm still happy that Liverpool managed to secure their place in next season's Champions League - but I'm not at all happy with the way they ended many important games towards the end of the season, including the draw against Aston Villa yesterday.

It was a tough match and Som Huming could have given Arsenal fans a chance to smile if he has converted the one -one chance he had just few minutes before Haaland doubled the lead for Manchester City.

Just as you said, it is almost over this season and City have 90% chance of winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title in a row if they defeated West Ham United in the final day of the season. I know that many Arsenal fans will be thinking of West Ham to help them out on the final day which I think will not be possible because all the teams that should have stoped City couldn’t succeed.

Son had two brilliant balls saved by Ortega Moreno the city second choice goal keeper. This game was definitely promised to breath taking as we all know how Tottenham this season like to play a high line. Manchester city or rather Pep had few of the ball which was worrisome for me but I think it was tactical trick by Pep to give Tottenham more of the ball and capitalize on lose possessions. City first goal was a defensive mistake to me as DeBruyne squares perfectly for Halaand. The second which came minute after Son had missed a one-one chance against Ortega, Something I will count on him to score any day of the season but it’s little things like this that decides the league. Doku who came on for KDB won a penalty off Porro who to me was definitely sloppy there.

Right now I don’t see Manchester city letting this slip away, they have certainly done the hard work here today and against a very poor West Ham side I see them running riot.

Arsenal had there chance but blew it away for the second time in a row. The lost against Aston Villa was definitely the breakthrough moment for city to clinch this.

I took the chance earlier and have now booked some profits thanks to Tottenham's negligence to take their chances. That Son miss will not be forgotten in a hurry by Arsenal fans as that moment would've added plenty of boost to their title aspirations.


It looks like we're down to the final day, boys. Here are my predictions:

— Liverpool wins to crown Klopp's era.
— Arsenal wins.
— West ham causes a major upset on the final day
— Arsenal wins the league. END.

Of course, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it happens but its football, you never really know.

[pawel7777]

I was getting worried a bit for Man City after the goalless first half when there wasn't much going on and Tottenham was leading in ball possession. But they didn't disappoint and managed to pull a win. The luck was on their side as Tottenham had some good chances to equalise, especially Son's 1 on 1 situation after the shameful mistake by City's defence.

So, almost certainly, Man City will be celebrating a successful defence of the league championship at their last game at home against West Ham. I can't imagine they could not win this one.

It also looks like Haaland secured the Golden Boot trophy, as he now has 6 goals advantage over 2nd Cole Palmer.

As for Tottenham, they buried their chances of getting to the 4th place, but their 5th spot is almost secured. All they have to do is earn at least 1 point against the last Sheffield, who only has 3 wins in the entire season.

So, can West Ham beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium?  I think it's quite difficult but as you said there are always surprises but this time everyone is probably quite sure that Manchester City will be the winner in the last match. I think the victory achieved by Manchester City in today match has determined that they are champions this season but we need proof in the last match where they have to beat West Ham. It is quite difficult to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, especially since West Ham have never won in their 5 meetings with Manchester City.

Arsenal has shown quite good strength this season and of course everyone is praising Arsenal performance this season. But to become champions they will fail and I'm sure this season they will also fail because currently I think Manchester City has a 70% chance of becoming champions.

Yeah, first of all, a big congratulations to Haaland, what he has achieved is a very big one that is actually worth all the celebration and the party he can throw up, I am indeed happy for the dude and the name he is making for himself, but on the other hand, he should never fail in acknowledging his teammates, whether he likes it or not, they made him who he is, for we understand that a tree doesnt make a forest, and in the football pitch,  a player can never be able to score all the goals himself without the help of his or her teammate.
So, as he celebrates, he should never stop showing gratitude to his teammates.

Personally, Manchester city is already recognized as the winner of the premier league title for this season, there next game is against Westham and there is no way there should be a problem for them beating this club, so, again, it's no longer too early to say congratulations to Manchester city for their forth consecutive win of the premier league title - quite a feet.

[Mr.right85]

Tottenham couldn’t make the day for Arsenal fans today and the lots of others who wouldn’t like to see Manchester City lift the premier league trophy. Of course I wouldn’t want to see them win since, it doesn’t mean much to them I think but, it would mean a whole lot for Arsenal. However, it’s not for Arsenal to decide now anyway.
Tottenham didn’t play any badly today, they just had unconverted chances and that last penalty offense on Doku sealed their fate tonight.

Wolves couldn’t manage it, Tottenham couldn’t manage it and now, it’s up to West Ham United to deal Arsenal this one but, I don’t see them pulling it off. Manchester City would be playing host, they understand the risk associated with not winning and would do everything to seal the win. Arsenal is good as gone!

It's hard to rule out chances of a west ham victory over Man City but considering their winning streak and home ground advantage it would be highly unlikely. Even in a case of draw, Arsenal would win the title if they get a win on their last match.
Man City's this season had not been as successful as last one but the are the most achieving english team. Erling Halland is again going to get the Golden boot with over 29% of Man City's goals in his name. Man City had the largest number of goal scored.

You made a fair point but West ham don't necessarily need to beat City at the Etihad stadium. They just need to do just enough to hold City off for a draw — which will pave the way for Arsenal to win on GD, albeit a tight one. And yes, it would be difficult because West ham have little to no incentive to beat City unlike Tottenham that wanted to lock in an UCL spot for themselves if they had managed to get any points from City today.

Btw, I just realized that Tottenham suffered back to back losses to Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and City.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I really feel pity for Liverpool tonight, not that they lost the match but at least they deserved a win as they played so well and were leading comfortably before, should I say, bad luck struck and spoilt everything for them and leaving them with only a draw. Actually many people did not expect them to win Aston Villa without a huge stress. It was Aston V that scattered Arsenal's dream of winning the league so they are not a walk-over. Indeed we watched a beautiful football tonight.

Honestly speaking the game yesterday was really an intertaining one I really enjoyed the game yesterday among all England premier league played from Saturday, Sunday it was this Monday match Aston villa against Liverpool is the must toughest match so far, the draw have really helped Aston villa to maintain their top 4 and I 'm sure that they are going to play champions league next season.

The result from villa vs liverpool gonna be determine totenham's chance to qualify for the UCL next season. I meant that if totenham is counting on liverpool to beat villa but im not really sure totenham can get three points from manchester city.
There will be another scenario to happen in the upcoming match day. As long as city will able to beat totenham and it confirms that if aston villa has secured UCL spot. It's very crucial for aston villa to wait for the result from city vs totenham.

Im hoping totenham to do another shit in the upcoming game. This is really helpful for aston villa in order to place their name as one of UCL candidate from EPL next season.

Well, that is the nature of football, the sought out for result could come from the unexpected teams and West Ham United could be that team if underestimated but, it’s had to see any ch aces for them in this one, given the fact that, Manchester City seems to be in top form, would be playing from a home side and it would be the game that crowns them champions. I can’t imagine them not winning, being in this position.

West Ham United have got some good players for sure, Bowen, Paqueta and Kudus. These guys are good and fast too but, not enough for Manchester City. I wouldn’t take a bet on it but, I really wish West Ham United could win.

The defeat suffered by Tottenham when they hosted Manchester City at their home ground gave Aston Villa an advantage. Tottenham's failure to add points at their home ground meant that Aston Villa automatically finished in the top four without having to play their last match. Aston Villa's success in qualifying for the Champions League next season cannot be separated from the big contribution of its coach (Unai Emery). He replaced Steven Gerrard in October 2022 and succeeded in improving Aston Villa level, which was previously almost relegated. The presence of Aston Villa in the top four positions makes competition in the Champions League zone even more competitive. Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United must be able to improve their level next season to provide competition for elite positions and also fight for the League title.
