⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

[QueenVera]

The performance from Tottenham has been really good so far this season. Like no one should have any complaints, literally. They have not lost even a single match so far. and I can already say that the performance is better already compared to the last season. Now it is only a question for them if they can continue performing consistently like this or not.

Tottenham and Arsenal are both unbeaten this season so it is difficult to determine who will win the title in the Premier league and Manchester City will not let that happen. Manchester City will try hard to catch up on points with them because there is only a small difference.

and yes this will be a fierce battle for the three of them to win the title this season but My hunch is on Arsenal for some reason seeing Arsenal's current unbeaten performance makes me a little confident that Arsenal will be able to win the trophy this season.

Those are the two clubs that are capable of overthrowing Manchester City as the Champions in EPL they're performing better than every other team and that's why they're currently unbeaten so far, well im not suprised at Arsenal's performance cause they almost won the league last season but bottled it to finish 2nd however Tottenham's performance this season is really amazing they were no were close to the top four or even did well last season but there new coach has turned them into a very strong title contenders this season.

 Well Pep Guardiola is not a  kind of coach that gives up easily and i believe he'll be working on ways of getting back to the top of the table but winning the league won't be easy for him this season cause it seems Tottenham and Arsenal are really prepared in taking over.

Ange Postecoglou has made a huge change in the team after taking the Tottenham job. Tottenham are playing at a much more different level now compared to last season. They are able to play like this even though Kane has left the team. Because it has always been about team play. If you don't play a good football as a team then it doesn't matter whether you have a world class player in your squad.

What do you think about Tottenham's look in general of the season? Do you think they can really be a title contender this season?

The right choice for a team owner in choosing a coach, maybe the coach is not very popular but he has the ability or many achievements in the world of football, such as the Japanese League, Australian League, etc. the tough task that this coach is doing to reach the highest peak of the English league, he must be consistent in every match. This coach is usually quite good at developing the game, namely with aggressive attacks and quite solid defense. Entering the 8th match, Tottenham Hotspur have not experienced defeat, this is strong evidence for Tottenham now, will this coach succeed in winning, Tottenham has been fasting for a title for a long time.

The opportunity is still open for Man City to regain its position in the middle or end of the season. Meanwhile, Tottenham and Arsenal, who is currently quite strong, must remain careful because in the Premier League, slipping is a part they cannot avoid. The competition that we will see will usually become more exciting at the end of the season, each club will maximize the opportunities they have, even seeing that clubs that want to survive the relegation zone will definitely try their best.

Appreciation for Tottenham's new coach, for being able to provide fresh air while maintaining consistency, Ange Postecoglou deserves praise. If you look at Tottenham this season without Kane, it's even more solid, right? Whether you realize it or not, personally the game is more balanced.

Guardiola's team is much worse than last year. It's only week 8 and they've already lost 2. The absence of Ilkay Gundogan and De Bruyne is obvious. It is also a question mark whether there was a need for so many new players. This is what happens when you play with the genes of the team so much. Last year, man city won those matches with the incredible performance of İlkay Gündoğan, especially in the cl matches with his constant goals and assists. It is obviously bad for manchester city to lose ilkay gündoğan who performs well in high and good matches. Obviously City will not be as dominant as last year.

There is a Chelsea - Arsenal match closing in on us. What are your thoughts about it?

Personally I think that Chelsea's job is still very difficult in Stamford Bridge despite the progress they made in their last 2 matches. Those wins are important to start believing in themselves more of course. But still they were wins against smaller teams. It is a mystery what they can do in this big match while Arsenal are in great shape. Arsenal got past a bigger obstacle like Manchester City in Emirates. I think that they are the closer side to win the match against Chelsea as well.

Chelsea need more contribution from their attackers. And I feel like this can only happen after Nkunku starts training with the team.

This match is going to be a tough match as we all know,because Arsenal are all going for  the three points,while Chelsea will be looking for a way to stop them.My Joy is that Arsenal wingers like Saka who missed Manchester City's game due to injury would be available,and Martinelli who scored the only  winning Goal against City will also be in contention in that game.Its going to be very entertaining match to watch,and I'm going to back the gunners to flog them like 3-0.Chelsea will want to prove their strength,and be tested against a good side,and if they can get a draw in this match,then I think their confidence will be back a little.

That's a derby between two great London sides and one team is currently performing well and fighting hard to maintain the top four and probably win the league this season while the other is underperforming but is recently recovering it's form, therefore it's not going to be easy for both side cause regardless of their level of performance  they'll be so careful not to concede in a derby, however Arsenal are the favorites to win the game based on their current performance and the fact that they won the league champions, but Chelsea would be playing with a home advantage and could make it tough for Arsenal in their home ground.

 Well I feel it's going to be a draw match, most people feel Arsenal are definitely going to win the game, but I'm not going to write off Chelsea cause they're rediscovering their form and could bring that same energy dey had against Burnley in the match my prediction is a 1-1 draw.

Maybe it is regarding "oh finally" let go type of thing, they won all three at the same time and shown the world what they could do, that should be more than enough for them to feel fine right now and that style of "letting it go finally" is what we are seeing today. I am not saying that it's guaranteed like that, but I think it should be an important part of it.

I think the best thing to do in this case would be just letting them play the way they want to play and the result will show itself. City also has some missing players, mainly KDB, and that could be one of the reasons as well, they may "look" much worse, but they are still close to the top, and doing fine, I think if KDB comes back, then the yare going to end up being better again.

City were in the lead all this time and no one was talking about their bad game, but as soon as they had a slight decline, people immediately started talking about how bad things were for City. You shouldn’t think that because Gundogan left the team, and De Bruyne now absent due to injury, City have become worse in their play, this is not. Last season, significantly more players left City, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus and others, all predicted City's decline because of this, but in the end they won the Premier League and the Champions League, so don't rush to conclusions.

you cannot compare the Calibre of players that left last season to the ones who left this season.Zinchenko and Jesus were not first team players at City, although Jesus was the only recognised striker at the team,but wasn't often used.But this season,they lost Gundogan,and we all know the impact of Gundogan in big matches,they also lost one of their best wingers,and one of the best wingers in the premier league which is Mahrez.
Like that wasnt enough, Debruyne is now out due to injury ,which has had a significant effect on the performance of the team,and the recent one was Rodri,who was sent off due to red card,that's why they are really performing badly,and losing games back to back.

Well the thing is that absence of Debruyne and departure of Gundogan made them to decline in form currently but that doesn't mean City should be write off, they're still very strong contenders and people forget that the league haven't really gone far and City would bounce back ones Debruyne returns but however i feel the teams performance shouldn't be dependent on Kelvin Debruyne Pep Guardiola should look for a strategy to start  winning games comfortably like they did last season.

 Well Arsenal are performing very well and that's why they won against City not like Pep Guardiola's team is not doing fine this season they're currently in the 3rd position however you don't expect them to go the whole season without securing loses it not possible no matter how strong they're, well the gap between them and Tottenham is not very wide and it would be easy for them to cover up, but they need to win against Brighton to not to widen it more.

With Man City condition having experienced a slight decline since the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in the line, it seems that they are not very effective when building attacks and Haaland has not been able to score goals in the last few matches. And I'm afraid Pep Guardiola will have difficulty anticipating Brighton's game. Because Roberto De Zerbi children were able to provide tough resistance against Liverpool. Of course, it is clear evidence that when Brighton faces big clubs, their performance will quickly match that of their opponents.

[LUCKMCFLY]

 He has proved to everyone that he's the right man to make Tottenham a great club and probably give them their 1st league trophy, well I won't be too quick about giving them the league trophy cause it's not going to come easy, Arsenal, Mancity and Liverpool are still very strong contenders, however Tottenham's performance shocked everyone and I think Postecoglou deserves the Motm award for what he's done at Tottenham currently.

Tottenham has performed exceptionally this season. They are still unbeaten along with Arsenal. However, I think Tottenham are much better and from the previous season they were title contenders who had finished runners up several times in the League. Although I'm not too sure they will be able to win the title if you look at the current squad and how competitive the English league is now. Maybe I can say that the era of the top four or top five is over and team dynamics are moving quickly. I mean at the moment there are a lot of surprises that have happened in the Premier League and to be honest there have been several times where I have made mistakes in betting. Or perhaps more precisely, my losses in betting on the clubs that I favored.

Something that really catches my attention is that since Kane left the Tottenham boys have done better, since now I thought they were going down due to his lack, well it's quite the opposite, apparently this team has had to overcome Quickly because they have no other choice , for me the best was Kane , I don't know, but the team had to play much more to be able to cover that fact, and that is something I admire, because the Bayern at the time when they sold Lewa because it was very difficult for them to fill that huge gap, now things are different, they have a lot more work now, well, when things are for this team , one thinks , Tottenham does not stand out much, and Now without Kane, even more so I believe that things are going well for these teams, sometimes these changes are Fundamental to continue improving.

The performance from Tottenham has been really good so far this season. Like no one should have any complaints, literally. They have not lost even a single match so far. and I can already say that the performance is better already compared to the last season. Now it is only a question for them if they can continue performing consistently like this or not.

I think they will be able to perform consistently if they do not face some serious injury problems. Which I really hope that they don't. right now they have the same points as well as goal difference with Arsenal. The reason Tottenham is at first place in the table is they have scored more goals compared to Arsenal. So even though the goal difference is the same, Tottenham is at the top. I can already sense that it is going to be a really hard fight for that title this season.

To me, this attitude that Tottenham has may be the best so that the best can happen for them, in part this is something strange, because I think that things can happen when a team is totally integrated, of course this is achieved by a good director technical, and at the same time it is something that no one expected, because with Kane's absence it is because the team is not that it has gone down, but I know that many have been surprised, but personally I think that things can happen as they do they want it to happen.

So when people can start looking for the best strategy for the Sprus, it has surprised a lot, I could say that it has surprised me and that normally Tottenham without Kane, well, I thought I wouldn't be able to be at the level, but hey, the Things that they have done have worked for them, and this means that they have not been able to fill the gap that Kane has left, the question here is that they can maintain that level.

Now, I think that Bayern has known how to take advantage of the moment since he joined the team, because he has contributed a lot, Harry Kane is a very controversial player, the Spurs did not want to let him go, in fact I still remember how Bayern was aware of everyone Tottenham's moves so that they could release this player, well, when it comes to the teams and their star players, they tend to be quite jealous, because no one wants to release their stars, because at any moment they can make a difference and I think this is the only thing that is valid these days, especially now in world football where there are almost no new stars, because the one who shines the most now is Haaland for me, but Messi and CR7 will always shine, who are the most they have in reality. marked an era, for its way of playing and doing many good things, of course what I can say about this is that when it comes to making a good team if enough stars are needed, there is no other way, it is the best way to ensure wins.

City were in the lead all this time and no one was talking about their bad game, but as soon as they had a slight decline, people immediately started talking about how bad things were for City. You shouldn’t think that because Gundogan left the team, and De Bruyne now absent due to injury, City have become worse in their play, this is not. Last season, significantly more players left City, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus and others, all predicted City's decline because of this, but in the end they won the Premier League and the Champions League, so don't rush to conclusions.

And I'm afraid Pep Guardiola will have difficulty anticipating Brighton's game. Because Roberto De Zerbi children were able to provide tough resistance against Liverpool. Of course, it is clear evidence that when Brighton faces big clubs, their performance will quickly match that of their opponents.

Well, when things are done with different manifestations that a specific player is not very essential, because things are quite difficult, it is, I am very surprised about Pep, apparently DeBruyne is a very fundamental piece in this team and he should not Is it like this, because the players in a team come and go, when he wants to leave, how will the team be? very badly? It's not the idea, Pep didn't see this before, it's because he's really very confident and believing that Haaland will always help him get ahead, I think it's very bad from him, because not everything is a player, the others too They contribute and should be aware of this, for me what is coming will be very hard if they do not join the flow of things, such as the defending champions of the UCL, but at the rate they are going they are finding everything very difficult, and it is a shame .

Man City are playing a dangerous game with three of their most important stars

When Julian Alvarez arrived at Manchester City a little over a year ago, few could have predicted the 12 months that would follow.

The frontman agreed to move to the Etihad in January 2022 and officially became a Blues player that summer. Since then he has gone on to win the World Cup, Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup as well as the UEFA Super Cup.

It is a trophy haul most clubs would be proud of and the Argentina frontman has achieved it all in a little over a year. But might it come with a price?

Well, we'll wait to see what Man City can do, I'm very curious about their situation.

[shinratensei_]

There is a Chelsea - Arsenal match closing in on us. What are your thoughts about it?

I can even imagine the game will be dominating by arsenal. Chelsea is weak this time. No reason to pick this even though this club will play at SB.

Personally I think that Chelsea's job is still very difficult in Stamford Bridge despite the progress they made in their last 2 matches. Those wins are important to start believing in themselves more of course. But still they were wins against smaller teams. It is a mystery what they can do in this big match while Arsenal are in great shape. Arsenal got past a bigger obstacle like Manchester City in Emirates. I think that they are the closer side to win the match against Chelsea as well.

Arsenal will be trying to defend its record. Arteta will urge his team to defend the record against chelsea. Chelsea may also able to put jackson as starting line up. I think that martinelli will be also starting from bench. We may see a good duel between these london clubs but arsenal seems have bigger chance to dominate the match.
Chelsea can rely on mudryk to use its speed to create counter attack. Chelsea needs to use the same strategy as previous match when pochettino used 4-3-3

Chelsea need more contribution from their attackers. And I feel like this can only happen after Nkunku starts training with the team.

since Nkuku is still injury and chelsea has no choice other than use the available resource at this moment. No need to think about him caused by he will not play against arsenal. We shall be more realistic about that.
Chelsea is still having palmer who can play as good as nkuku.

If it were few years ago, I would have called the London derby the clash of the titans, but I can't do that because of Chelsea's performance this season. They have been really woefully and I wouldn't give their last two wins before the International break much thoughts. For me, it's going to be business as usual for arsenal and they are going to win the game. The gunners have been playing very well this season. Their last game against Manchester City, they played like a side that's hungry for the title and I think Chelsea is going to be no match for them come saturday.

[Spack17]

Arsenal are certainly much closer side to win this match. Chelsea might seem better recently due to the wins they got. However I don't still see them good enough to stay strong against other top teams of the league. Especially Arsenal are one of the most in-form teams these days. They even won against Manchester City you know.

But at least the final score might not be very bad for Chelsea. I think they can show us some good resistance to prevent a big loss. They are one of the least conceding teams in the league now in the end.

It will be a high-tempo match between Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal are in great form and it will be a difficult game for Chelsea. If they don't make a difference, it's a good day for them. Maybe if they are lucky they can beat Arsenal. However, the probability of this is very low.

[CLS63]

Apart from the Chelsea - Arsenal match I'm feeling confident about Manchester City and Liverpool both to win on this week. Because both of these teams have been losing points for 2 weeks. Their next opponents are Brighton and Everton respectively. Brighton are pretty strong team maybe but I don't think they can handle Manchester City in Etihad.

Liverpool technically have an easier match than Manchester City. Because Everton are still no different than their look in the previous season. In Anfield Liverpool should be able to get a comfortable win.

[asriloni]

It will be a high-tempo match between Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal are in great form and it will be a difficult game for Chelsea. If they don't make a difference, it's a good day for them. Maybe if they are lucky they can beat Arsenal. However, the probability of this is very low.

Im still doubting it. I meant if the tempo is chelsea is not yet consistent. This club is sometime goiing up and down drastically. I have noticed that if chelsea is now quite difference but it sounds like that no chance is happening with the club.
Chelsea's odds even higher compared with arsenal which mean bookies were favoring arsenal to win the game against it easily without any problem. In fact, chelsea was always losing against the current arsenal since last season.
I remember that chelsea lost two times in a row last season at home and away.  The same result is going to repeat again in upcoming match. I will be a miracle if chelsea will able to beat arsenal.

Arsenal has been doing significant improvement, but this club was not always able to win even a single trophy. I must admit the performance from arsenal is quite consistence since the last season but this club was trophyless.
It proves that if arsenal is still a bottle club. Im waiting for the result from this club at the end of season. Arsenal never won EPL since a long time ago.

[Sakanwa]

Like I said before, Chelsea are going to try all they could to savage a point,because I know  quite well that they won't be playing to win he match,they would play to just atleast get a point from this game at Standford Bridge,but the inform Arsenal will not allow them get the point they will want to.The blues are beginning to pick form and that's why people are saying they have a chance of winning this game,but that is not going to happen against a team like Arsenal who are finding by all means to win all their matches  so that they will top the league table,and they know quite well that if they draw or lose,it would give Manchester City an edge over them.I think this is going to be a win win match for Arsenal.
