⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

I'm quite happy to see Kevin De Bruyne being back in the squad.    Maybe I don't want to see Manchester City as the champions in the Premier League once again. But it is still a great joy to watch a player like him. He has just recovered from his lasting injury but still he is able to perform like nothing happened right away. This is something special about him.

His game sense is just amazing. You must have watched the goal he scored and the assist he made against Newcastle. Both of them were really smart and lovely to watch.    He is known by this kind of amazing passes and he just continues from where he left. I think he will stay at Manchester City at least until the end of his current contract.

I couldn't be more serious about my words here but what you said

His game sense is just amazing.

is so damn right! I am sure that 99/100 players would not have chosen to finish the attack like he did when he scored the equalizer. That goal was a Messi goal. Not just use force or speed, but smartness and precision. It was an amazing goal. And then he continues the game and gives that assist? Are you kidding me? The assist had only one square foot to land on and that's what De Bruyne did. It couldn't have been any shorter or any longer than that, but hey, no problem for De Bruyne. What a comeback. This guy is unstoppable and now all hope will be that his injury is gone once and for all for this season. Just think about this game against Newcastle and imagine he would NOT have been around. The goal wouldn't have been scored and I doubt anyone else would have given this exact assist.

Without Kevin De Bruyne Manchester city would have lost or Draw the match, but De Bruyne shows his class and with no doubt he is going to be a vital key if Manchester city is going to retain the title this season. I think this season is going to be a very dramatic one till de very end, it one thing that makes the English premier league so interesting. I hope he doesn’t get injured again and can’t wait to see Halland back too.

That's going to happen only if pochettino will not repeat the same mistake again. The major problem was on the pochettino as he was always making a stupid decision. Middlesbourg will be playing at stamford bridge for the second leg. Chelsea is still having a chance as long as it will be playing fully offensive since the first minute. Chelsea was losing aggregate against a lower division team and it was a disaster for the club. Pochettino shall not need to repeat the same mistake being made in the first leg. Palmer for striker? That's the worst decision i have ever seen from him. How long pochettino was coaching chelsea? it seems like that he didn't even understand about the actual position of his players.

He made the decision to move someone who is proficient in playing as a center back to the left back position and shifted the right winger to the striker role. This is very bad for chelsea. The club needs to put the players to play on their best position and this will build their confidence.
Pochettino sucks. He never tries to understand the best position for his players. Putting colwill as a left back which is a terrible decision. It was really unacceptable thing for all of chelsea fans.

Pochettino and his wrong choices made Chelsea go down against Middlesbrough and this is purely a disaster. Chelsea is a big club and they shouldn’t be found behind Middlesbrough, it was so embarrassing to watch them lose, cause they were definitely the favorites to win that game. They better do all they can to win the 2nd leg.

So true and that has been complainted by so many people. Pochettino was the worst in game management and decision making. Im not even seeing a good aspect to defend him as a coach for chelsea. Nothing has changed since pochettino was going in.
He keeps try to make more and more problems in the club. People said that at least give pochettino at the end of season but im doubting it if he will make more and more mistakes like that. Im being so disprespectful toward him caused by he was always repeating the same mistake.

Palmer as a striker is an insane decision that cost the team because he missed so many chances that a main striker could probably have converted one or two. I think Pochettino needs to think carefully before approaching a game so that he makes right choices especially in the 2nd leg. He needs to play the players in their main position and not to try out some experiments in a semi final. He should take the 2nd leg seriously lest Middlesbrough hands another defeat to him at the bridge.

So true and this is my first time to see that happens. I never see him placed as a striker in manchester city too. That is the worst in game management showed by pochettino against middlesbourg and he was getting his karma.
Chelsea is still not getting the results that chelsea should be getting. It's a disaster to see him become a coach for chelsea. Pochettiono has made so many unacceptable decision regarding the club.

Well I won't be suprised if Aston Villa slide down the standings, they've tried in reaching the top four, however it's the 2nd segment of the season and alot of top teams would up their games and the race for the top 4 would be very tough, therefore Villa would also need to setup and not relent if truly they want to end up in top 4.

I think it looks like Aston Villa have a bit of a problem with player rotation. We know that big teams have the advantage that they have good squad depth so they will be able to perform consistently throughout the season. And I think Aston Villa is a mid-table team that has been able to perform surprisingly well at the start of the season. To be honest I was surprised by the draw because we know Everton are one of the worst teams in the EPL this season and everyone thought Aston Villa would be able to get 3 points from last night's match.

Don't overreact to this draw, I think this result is quite reasonable and fair enough for both teams, and Aston Villa is still strong and should also be taken into account to be able to enter the top 4 this season, but we also have to realize that Everton is a team who have improved much better and they are playing at home so it is quite natural that Everton managed to hold Aston Villa to a draw.

People should put things in perspective. The draw between Aston Villa and Everton might not be the jaw-dropping victory or defeat that fans crave, but it's a result that reflects the competitive nature of football. It's not fair to overreact, especially considering the strengths and circumstances of both teams.

Aston Villa remains a threatening side, and writing them off after a draw would be premature. Their ambition to enter the top 4 this season is certainly within reach, if they dont have badluck with injuries given their squad's quality and potential. Every team faces challenges, and a draw doesn't necessarily indicate a decline in performance, because all other 3 contenders has experinced the same. Everton has shown significant improvement, and playing at home gives them advantage. The fact that they managed to hold Aston Villa, currently a strong side, to a draw shows about their progress. In the grand scheme of a football season, not every match will be a headline-grabbing win or a shocking upset. Draws are a part of the game, and they contribute to the overall narrative of a team's journey.

Aston Villa have been very impressive this season in the English Premier League and would've drawn level with Liverpool had they won their English Premier League game against Everton yesterday but unfortunately for them, the game ended in a 1:1 scoreline. Many people especially Aston Villa fans weren't happy with result because they wanted a win that'll give them more chances of finishing the season in the top four of the league table.
But let's not forget that Everton have also been impressive this season and if not for the point deduction, they would've been in a better position in the league.

The English Premier League season is getting better and more interesting as the season goes and no team is just ready to lose points at this very crucial moment in the league. Hopefully for Aston Villa, they might just finish the season in the top four.

Marcus Rashford is a donkey if he doesn't removes the mentality of a star up in his head and join contribute marking and closing down spaces for the club, Erik Ten Hag should kindly address it.

I agree about Rashford. He is really performing poorly this season.    I don't know what happened to this guy in only one season to be honest. Last season he was incredible and Erik ten Hag was still the manager then. But now the manager is the same but Rashford isn't. He is a very crucial member of the team as we all know. When he performs badly the team are also in extra trouble.

I understand that Manchester United are having a poor season compared to the last one. But skilled individuals still should be able to do their best for the team. Rashford can't give any excuse for his poor effort throughout the season until now.

Man United vs Tottenham in this two team match both teams scored 2-2 for which the match between the two teams was a draw. Man United team scored the first goal in the first 2 minutes of the game. M.  Rashford scored 2 goals in 40 minutes. Tottenham team player Richarlison scored 1 goal in 19 minutes. R.  Bentancur scored the 2nd goal in the 46th minute to draw the match. Tottenham could not win this match due to the poor performance of their players.

Manchester united's poor defensive line was not able in making the situation to be even better. The club has been leading the match but it was failed caused by manchester united was not able in defending from totenham's attack.
It was fucking disappointed to see that how manchester united lost three points in old trafford. Manchester united can do better rather than try to get 1 point. Totenham has been playing carefull and it was always pressuring manchester united's defensive line.
The only problem owned by manchester united was really poor defenders. The club has been conceding so many goals and there must be overhaul in the defensive line. Manchester united needs to recruit good defenders and goal keeper.
This is the mistakes owned by ten hag when he was buying a new goal keeper without even try to reconsider it again. Onana was a flop and this is the fact. Manchester united will not play in UCL next season. The club will be only achieving europa league at the end of season.

Yes, it seems like Marcus Rashford's bad performance is in line with Manchester United's bad performance, when the club performs badly the players also find it difficult to show their best and in my opinion the club's main problem is the coach, last season Marcus Rashford still played better than now because he still has confidence but now the club is not in a good mental state so Marcus Rashford has also fallen into decline, but we also can't blame anyone who is at fault among the players or the coach but from the many comments from various fans that this is the fault of the coach who failed to improve the confidence of the players.

A team doesn't just rely on 1 player, if all the players don't play optimally then the club will experience a decline and that happened to the Manchester United club currently led by Erik Ten Hag. A coach must be able to build the overall performance of the club because the coach is the foundation of a club it alone can provide the right strategy and direction to all the players.

He spent most of last season as false 9 and with Anthony and Sancho running down the LW and RW, he didn't need to drop deep to receive passes like he has this season because there is literally no distribution coming from the wings as Anthony and Sancho both lost their places in the team this season and Casimero and Bruno, who are supposed to provide services from the midfield, are struggling with match fitness.

Poor teamwork was more responsible for his drop in form and early-season knocks too

You can't really sure if someone will able to deliver stable performance. It's normal to see that the cycle if football player's performance. It can go up and down again. Garnacho was not shining last season but he is just proving his worhiness this time.
Rashford seems got another bad thing that makes his performance has been declining a lot. While Rashford may face difficulties, he remains capable of contributing with goal-scoring, and it is worth noting how Ten Hag is increasingly entrusting Antony to operate independently.
The good performance from tominay and meguire were pure luck in the last matches. Anything can happen but im sure that if manchester united will be getting another bad result again.
The current team was not even strong enough to compete at europa league.

I understand that Manchester United are having a poor season compared to the last one. But skilled individuals still should be able to do their best for the team. Rashford can't give any excuse for his poor effort throughout the season until now.

It's too slow on its regeneration and manchester united was too often buying the useless players. There are many articles about how much money being spent by ten hag to get bull cup. It's not even worthy to have him in the club but the management seems had different perception regarding this .
The fans are feeling so upset with the club under ten hag. They were always screaming their disappointment to the ten hag and management but none of these parties were caring to the fans.

Without Kevin De Bruyne Manchester city would have lost or Draw the match, but De Bruyne shows his class and with no doubt he is going to be a vital key if Manchester city is going to retain the title this season. I think this season is going to be a very dramatic one till de very end, it one thing that makes the English premier league so interesting. I hope he doesn’t get injured again and can’t wait to see Halland back too.

I don't want to say Manchester City will definitely lose or draw without De Bruyne, from my point of view Manchester City winning percentage decreases slightly while De Bruyne is in the treatment room. After De Bruyne returned to strengthen Manchester City, he immediately showed his class as the most vital player for the club he defended. Manchester City game immediately improved, and it didn't take long for him to show his class.

Even though he started the match as a substitute when Manchester City played against Newcastle, he immediately contributed to the team and became the hero of Manchester City victory. I think Manchester City goal productivity will increase if Haaland collaborates with De Bruyne again, Pep Guardiola will also be calmer when the starting XI he has compiled is complete.

In this match Spurs played great even without a complete squad. If they had Son, maybe the score would be different. Yes that's right. Man United's defense is very bad, especially goalkeeper Onana. Onana was very selfish by delaying going to the Africa Cup of Nations, insisting on playing with Man United and in the end not winning. The more Onana continued to play, the more Man United was hit. The number of goals conceded is very, very, very, very, very much.

I was surprised by Erik Ten Hag's decision, even though he had often conceded goals, Onana was still trusted to be the starter as if he didn't have a backup goalkeeper at all. If in another team like Madrid, they don't play well in three matches, they must be benched first so they can introspect and give the reserve goalkeeper confidence to be able to perform. In this match it was very clear that Onana could not be relied on in anticipating corners and crosses. He didn't dare cut the ball in the air, he was too focused on watching his teammates duel for the ball.

De Bruyne is exceptional when it comes to attack and when I heard he was back i was happy because to some extent the De Bruyne has strength my club so much. And is presence means a lot to the club. Why would you say you don't want us to win the Premier League again because if you look at it now who else deserves it if not us. Aside that de brune is in my club everyone loves him because of is dedication to the club. When he went on injury I was not happy at all because I know it will affect the club and thank God is back and he came back with doing more womders. When you watch de De Bruyne play you will know that that dude is talented and that is anything his around its a very good opportunity for haaland to score also because De Bruyne give one of the best assistance you can ever imagine.

I believe that we are going to end up with KDB and Haaland playing together soon enough, in about two weeks. When that starts, like when they are both on the field, the result will not be all that easy, we are going to end up seeing City end up beating every single team. I mean they could still lose, it is a possibility, but they have become so much better if you ask me.

The fact that they missed these players here and there, and specially KDB, made the team so much better because everyone else had to step up, and that means everyone else plays great now, and with KDB coming back, they will keep on being great, and adding these stars will only make them even better. It is showing already, add Haaland on this and you got yourself maybe the greatest team in recent memory, only be beaten by that galaticos Real Madrid team.

I mean I really have a huge respect for Guardiola's style. He applies his strategies for Manchester City perfectly and the players are also very skilled to do what he wants exactly. However Manchester City have been dominating the Premier League since the 2017/18 season. They won the title 5 times in the last 6 seasons so it is getting quite boring to me. 

They have turned the Premier League into a farmers league when it comes to competition rate for the title. I really want to see some different champions also here. Arsenal just mess it up suddenly while everything is going just fine for them. I don't give any chance to Aston Villa to make it either. I only believe in Liverpool to break this chain once again like they did in the 2019/20 season.

I agree about Rashford. He is really performing poorly this season.    I don't know what happened to this guy in only one season to be honest. Last season he was incredible and Erik ten Hag was still the manager then. But now the manager is the same but Rashford isn't. He is a very crucial member of the team as we all know. When he performs badly the team are also in extra trouble.

I understand that Manchester United are having a poor season compared to the last one. But skilled individuals still should be able to do their best for the team. Rashford can't give any excuse for his poor effort throughout the season until now.

It is difficult to find a reason as to why Rashford has completely lost his best form this season. Last season Rashford impressed with 17 goals in 35 matches, while this season he has only scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances. This is hard to believe even though Ten Hag has repeatedly given him the opportunity to prove his worth this season.

I agree that it has been a bad season for Rashford and some of the other players. Antony hasn't recorded anything in 17 appearances, Rasmus Højlund has also not lived up to expectations. Alejandro Garnacho is better than Antony, also Bruno Fernandes has a decline in his performance. This is a different season for Manchester United compared to last season, so overall their performance has really suffered.

[Cookdata]

It looks like luck because they only won by a narrow score and the goal was scored via a penalty kick after a Fulham player fouled one of Chelsea's players, but actually Chelsea continued to appear to put pressure on the away team but unfortunately, their chances were not able to penetrate Fulham's defense, even their opponents several times made quite good attacks and threatening their goal.
Chelsea was quite grateful because Cole Palmer managed to calmly execute the penalty kick because if he had failed, Chelsea would have gotten another bad result. In the final minutes, they managed to maintain their defense which continued to receive attacks from Fulham who were trying to get 1 point by doing so to equalize the score.
Chelsea's performance was ordinary even though this was their third win in a row and with a performance like that they would still probably lose to any team because their game development was not very good.

If they win all their matches this way and get to the top, nobody will give a damn about how they win as long as they remain at the top. What matter most is they should win their match which they won Fulham. I'm proud to see some adjustments in the table but how long will they go is something we can't say now because they once pull some battle with Manchester City in the same season, that game impressed everyone including that hasn't been a fan but they didn't do well after that, so I don't know what will happen in their subsequent matches.

There is a problem in managerial positions of Chelsea players but more importantly, they need to build a strong foundation of striker, the forward looks dead and the midfield looks weak. Pochettino still has time to make adjustments in necessary places instead those worthless comments he always rush to make when there loss match, always use to "I believe in this project, we just need more time bla bla bla" and the season has pass half way to the second leg.

Alejandro Garnacho is better than Antony, also Bruno Fernandes has a decline in his performance. This is a different season for Manchester United compared to last season, so overall their performance has really suffered.

Højlund is very young, he has started to score goals now. I think it’s unfair to judge him so soon in a new league, playing in what is an underperforming team with lots of players who aren’t good enough.

Gamacho is a good player but the others you mentioned, I agree, are just not good enough. Antony is crap, a colossal waste of money and Rashford will never be an elite level striker. Ferndandes is talented but doesn’t have the mentality to be a truly world class player.
