⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Sunderland]

Premier League will start tomorrow Brentford vs Wolves team match. Which team is stronger between the two teams will be understood tomorrow. However, Wolves team did much better in the previous matches between the two teams. Wolves team plays much better than Brentford team. Wolves team goalkeeper is very strong.  For which Brentford are ahead of the team on points table. I don't know if it is right to bet against Brentford team but I will enjoy playing in support of Wolves team.

Wolves is weak when away, from 9 away games they have lost 6 times and win only once.
Brentford is not that strong either at home with 3 wins, 3 draws and lost 3 times.

This match might end in a draw with more than 2 goals.

Obviously it was an expensive purchase. at Napoli, he only played there for 1 season. and did not stand out either in 32 matches in the Italian league only scoring 9 goals.
Previously he only played in small clubs like Strum Graz.
But since Alex Ferguson stopped coaching. Manchester United when buying players is always expensive. another example is Anthony bought for 100 million euros.

I wonder why Manchester United always get expensive players but perform poorly. Is this because of the failure of their talent scouts to find new stars or because of some reason, such as the club board being interested in the proposal offered by the player's agent. I have no problem buying expensive players if they are a valuable investment asset in the future. For example, I remember when Liverpool made Van Dijk the most expensive defender in the English league and I questioned their reasons at that time but in the end he became one of the best defenders in the world today.

This is still remain to be unanswered question. The same thing is also happening with chelsea as well caused by it was always buying expensive player that contributed nothing to the club. The main problem shall be on the scouting team as they were targeting non sense player.
In another case, FOMO also becomes the main problem. Sometimes, the coach was requesting the management to buy the player without try to do reconsideration or something like that. This is also making the club being trapped to buy garbage player with non sense price.
It's happening with manchester united and chelsea at this moment. These clubs are always being scammed by buying the players with very high price. This is also the main problem that is still remain unsolved.
Chelsea has even spent more than 600 millions for nothing. Even though mu was also spending a lot of money to get garbage players like mount and onana.

Luton is once again getting three points from sheffield united. Luton is pretty amazing this time caused by it's consistently securing three points like everton. It seems like that everton has motivated luton to play better than before. Luton is also very balancing club at this moment.
In some instances, the offensive players may push forward to support their team's attack, however, the defenders exhibit strong defensive skills by effectively countering the opponent's counterattack. This is a significant improvement from luton and im impressed with the performance of luton.

It brings me joy to see that I did not bet on this match because I had the expectation that Sheffield would have a dominant performance against Luton. Sheffield performed so poorly against luton which was unpredictable.
Lutopn can still continue to have good performance in the upcoming match. When it comes to the gameplay, Luton offers a level of enjoyment that is far superior to the previous games, thanks to its well-structured design. This is a very big improvements happend on luton.

I can't even believe it how it was winning with the dramatic performance against sheffield. I do appreciate the performance from luton in these games.

And have you seen their stadium or training grounds or anything like that? They do not look like most of the places even in championship, let alone premier league, it's really not the same thing, feels like it doesn't really look all that amazing to me.

I get that it may not be all that much of a big deal at the moment, but I feel like it's going to be a bit of a trouble with the team if they keep this up, it should not be this hard and they should be trying their hardest to invest or sell the club or at least sell a portion, they really need the money. They have achieved so much with so little, they may still get relegated and that would not be a shock to anyone, but I think if they stay, they really need to do something about it.

Despite criticizing again the match on boxing day, but Klopp and Liverpool have created the perfect result when away to Burnley home. The result made Liverpool to be on top of stand premier league this week. this is quite an extraordinary achievement for the club which has just fallen on the previous session. And, despite the criticism of Klopp on boxing day, in fact he always creates 100% winning in this event. whether he likes it or not (leaving his family behind for Christmas celebrations), The winning is a very pleasant gift for him and give a sweet smile on top stand.

We are still waiting for the Arsenal match. So if they lost, this will be a double gift for Klopp and the team at the end of the year.

Liverpool did a very good job; they used the opportunity they had to top the Premier League table.
The match between Arsenal and Chelsea is supposed to determine the Premier League leader, but the two teams showed quality by defending their respective league positions with a draw, which was the best result both teams have.

Arsenal have to win their match against West Ham United before they can be able to go back to the top of the league, and West Ham United is on form because after losing to Liverpool, they were able to get three points against Manchester United; therefore, I think Arsenal need to be very careful and serious as well in order to win the match so that they will keep challenging for the title.

A few days ago in an old premier league thread I said that even though Aston Villa is currently ranked 3rd in the points table it doesn't mean this club has consistent strength and what I said came true when against Sheffield United it only ended in a draw while Aston Villa playing at home should have a greater chance of winning and one side Sheffield United is just a weak club that is at the bottom of the points table and from this incident I can already predict if the chances of yesterday's match will end Aston Villa winning or Manchester United will win .
The reason I say this is I just think logically that in fact MU is still in bad form while Aston Villa is unpredictable, sometimes they are very strong but sometimes they look very weak and in the end everything is proven if Manchester United wins and Aston Villa is possible if they continue to perform. like this it will return to the starting position in position 4 or 5.

Boxing Day was quite decent for the Premier League. I mean there was only 1 match with less than 2 goals scored in it. Even in that match there were 2 goals scored.    We watched so many goals yesterday and a really surprising events as well. Like Nottingham's destroying Newcastle away by 3-1... And of course there is Manchester United's mesmerizing comeback as well!  

I don't know what happened at halftime but Manchester United were like a different team in the second half. I really admired Garnacho's high effort. Hojlund was nearly wasting another goal chance but his shot hit the inner post this time and found the back of the net.

The game between Sheffield and Luton yesterday was quite fierce, at first one would think Sheffield were going to keep the game at a draw but thankfully to the efforts of the visiting side, they were able to net the last winning goal towards the end of the game. It really was a much needed win for them and deep down, Sheffield would have managed a draw against their rival. Luton is fast becoming a threatening team and they've got this ability of netting a goal in every game encounter, that's how competitive the EPL has turned out to be.

 Even though they weren't given the better probability odds to win and as less confidence as people had in them, they still had to fight to shock everybody. Betting on the game was a real risk because any of the sides had gotten the ability to win or maybe end in a draw. Congratulations to them as they've gained extra 3points in the league race and it's an improvement on their confidence too.

The physical endurance of the players will be tested in the boxing day match where the match schedule which is only a few days break will drain the players energy, many managers will be very worried about managing the composition of their players to avoid injury and fatigue, and that is what makes the boxing day match quite challenging and interesting, currently, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa are fighting to occupy the top of the standings and without a good strategy in the boxing day match for these three teams, they could lose their position.
I saw that when Hojlund scored the winning goal for Manchester he was extremely happy, apart from the fact that it was Manchester's winning goal, of course his first goal in the English league proved that he was starting to get quite hot.

Manchester United had an impressive comeback on this boxing day. They need to come back like this for the rest of the season if they want a spot in Europa League or the Conference league. I was thinking after the half time that Ten Hag might be sacked by tomorrow but his team made an impressive comeback.

Another exciting match was between Newcastle and Nottingham. The underdogs made a huge upset beating Newcastle 3-1.  After the first half it was clear that they were struggling and I'm actually not surprised that it ended this way after seeing them play in the first half. Newcastle's performance was disappointing. They couldn't convert any shots into goals and the only goals they scored was on penalty.

Premier League will start tomorrow Brentford vs Wolves team match. Which team is stronger between the two teams will be understood tomorrow. However, Wolves team did much better in the previous matches between the two teams. Wolves team plays much better than Brentford team. Wolves team goalkeeper is very strong.  For which Brentford are ahead of the team on points table. I don't know if it is right to bet against Brentford team but I will enjoy playing in support of Wolves team.

Wolves is weak when away, from 9 away games they have lost 6 times and win only once.
Brentford is not that strong either at home with 3 wins, 3 draws and lost 3 times.

This match might end in a draw with more than 2 goals.

20 minutes in and already 3 goals have been scored in this match
It's obviously very exciting because in a game when there's a lot of goal drama it's a great thing to watch and I'm going to enjoy this game.
Although there is a Chelsea versus Palace match that I would like to watch but I am now still quite happy to see the match against Brentford against Wolves because I think it will be quite fierce considering their strength is quite balanced.

Wolves are currently ahead with goals from Lemina and Hee-Chan but Brentford have reacted by reducing the score to 1-2 now.
Until now Wolves are still quite dominating at least in these 20 minutes but I think Brentford will try in this match to get 1 point if they can't get 3 points.

[Franctoshi]

Chelsea ended the first half with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and I kind of wonder which game that would be supervised by coach Pochettino and the Chelsea team won't conceive a goal, 70 percent of the games that he has managed so far this season he hardly won or go home without conceiving a single in the end and this is bad of him and the entire current Chelsea's squad. Obviously it has become certain that Pochettino lacks defensive ability, and I'm beginning to think that this is where one of his problems lies, and the earlier he takes care of it the better for the team going forward.

Obviously it has become certain that Pochettino lacks defensive ability, and I'm beginning to think that this is where one of his problems lies, and the earlier he takes care of it the better for the team going forward.

I saw that Chelsea have got an early lead in the match I was very happy for them that at least they need to have some win in order not to fall lower than the 11th position they are occupying currently. Since this season Chelsea's favorite position has been 10th and from 10th they go to 12th from 12th they come back to 10th. I really thought that this match against Crystal Palace could change the narrative.

Palace in the other hand is not in their best form this season but one thing about that club is whether they are in good form or not they have the ability to stop a any club from winning even if they cannot win. That club has some resistant spirit that can throw up surprises when you do not expect it. This night they could also give Chelsea a bad result

[Spack17]

Everton are such a lucky team man. They scored a goal with a goal expectation of 0.04 and they are still leading by 1-0 against Manchester City after leaving 30 minutes behind. Manchester City are very dominant statistically as expected. They have many goal attempts but there is still no goal. This must be getting really annoying for their fans by every minute. 

Because Manchester City were already able to win only once in their last 5 matches in the Premier League. If they lose points here too it would be a disaster for them. I know Everton are on the rise recently but we are talking about Manchester City here. The Manchester club must be able to find a way to make a comeback!

Congratulations United. It was a good fight, and joy has returned.
What a relief it was when Rasmus scored that goal.
And this is an emotional moment for Rasmus, the team, and the fans.
The tradition of creating dramatic matches has become the identity of this team.
Thanks to the team for trying to bring joy to the fans, but it's not enough
Let's now focus on the next game

I said it wouldn't be simple because a lot of people were underestimating Everton, and they've already scored first, and Manchester City has already equalized, and the way things are going, no one is giving each other another chance. And they're both suffering, with Everton playing a defensive game and Manchester City having multiple shots on goal. And Manchester City has already taken the lead with two goals I am still waiting for more goals, and I have a feeling they will equalize; and even Manchester City's ball possession is heavy on Everton, and I love how Everton is keeping up with the defense; and the game is almost over.

I wonder why Manchester United always get expensive players but perform poorly. Is this because of the failure of their talent scouts to find new stars or because of some reason, such as the club board being interested in the proposal offered by the player's agent. I have no problem buying expensive players if they are a valuable investment asset in the future. For example, I remember when Liverpool made Van Dijk the most expensive defender in the English league and I questioned their reasons at that time but in the end he became one of the best defenders in the world today.

I think the problem is the environment in the club, the spirit of the club's culture has been distorted by pure profesionalism. The influence of player agents on the club's decision-making plays a role. If the club board is swayed by financial incentives or pressures from agents, it could lead to the acquisition of players based on reasons other than their footballing prowess and suitability for the team.

Van Dijk is a prime example that proves the success of making strategic and expensive signings when the player turns out to be a valuable asset and significantly enhances the team's performance. This suggests that, when done judiciously, spending on high-priced players can indeed be a wise investment.

Mudryk helped chelsea to get the first goal against palace but olise was also equalizing the score but medueke gets penalty and he has been successfully executing it which is good for the club. Chelsea has very high ball possessions but the attacking lines seem unaffective enough in the match against olise. This is also making the club tried so hard but penalty has been helping chelsea to win the game against crystal palace. This is also become the main problem owned by pochettino's club caused by the attacking lines are always being so wasteful.
Jackson is always getting offside which is the main problem owned by the club. Im wondering what solution prepared by pochettino for this. Chelsea gets three points but the performance from attacking lines was so bad.
Chelsea needs also to put this as the main concern. The current striker is no more than a comedian. he was always offiside and jackson doesn't even understand about how to get best position.

It was nice to see Chelsea back to winning ways again and I can say that Mykhailo Mudryk was one of the best players on the pitch tonight to help Chelsea achieve that feat. The Ukraine international scored the first goal of the game which was later cancelled by Crystal Palace second half goal. It took Madueke late goal to give Chelsea the maximum three points from the game.

Chelsea's main problem since the start of the season is the team's poor ability to create goalscoring chances during games and almost cost them the win tonight. Players like Mudryk, Palmer, Sterling and others needs to step up their games in ensuring that the club becomes consistent with winning their games.

The job at Chelsea is much more difficult than coach Mauricio Pochettino initially imagined. Victory over Crystal Palace temporarily helps Chelsea relieve pressure. However, they still ranked 10th, with 25 points after 19 matches. This is not an easy victory for Chelsea, and Crystal Palace has caused many difficulties for Chelsea. When Chelsea had to rely on Madueke's late strike in the 89th minute to get all 3 points. Chelsea has also found a big man's class level when it comes to regaining form.
It was a difficult match. Crystal Palace's performance today is commendable. But Chelsea also played well and deserved this result.
