⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

Saka will finally be able to play properly after a serious injury period he had last season. He is very important for Arsenal. Having him and Gyökeres both on the field is a huge plus for the team. 

I'm wondering how the new attacking trio of Cunha - Sesko - Mbeumo will answer Arsenal's deadly attackers. It might take some time for this trio to get by as well. Because all of them are new at the Red Devils.

Bukayo Saka is a very important player for Arsenal and we can all see what happened last season when he got injured.  I am very happy that he is fully fit right now and I can't wait to watch his combination with Viktor Gyokeres this season.
Gyokeres is a proven goal scorer and playing along side Saka will only help him improve his goal scoring.
Manchester United has also made good signing in Sesko, Cunha and Mbuemo but I still still Arsenal winning on the day, although it's going to be a very contested match.

Premier League next season will be very challenging and difficult for teams because the competition much, any team that we lift the premier League title we have to work very hard you have to be very informed and consistent, because all the clubs are signing good players that we assist them in the coming season so team that wants to carry or lift the premier League title next season should be ready.

Yes bukayo saka is a very good player and that was why even when he was in injury it really affected Arsenal very well and as soon as he came back Arsenal became more inform, Gyokeres is a good player also and working with saka one on one will bring in a lot of goals, Arsenal has every opportunity to lift the premier League title next season all they need is to be very determined and consistent and they will make it through.

Manchester United have made a lot of changes in their team. They have added some very good players to their squad. Manchester United are spending a lot of money so that they can get a very good result this season. Manchester United have a very good striker. Looking at all aspects, it seems that Manchester United will play very well again. They could not do anything very well last season. This season they will try their best. Manchester United are spending a lot of money so that they can play very well this season and win trophies.

Some players may have been brought to Manchester United in this transfer window, but I still say that these few players will not be able to change Manchester United's performance much, rather, to improve the performance of this team, better quality players were needed in the team and some changes in some positions were mandatory. You must admit that there are still good weaknesses in Manchester United's defense position, as well as the players who play in Manchester United's strike position cannot finish the ball well. Since there are still so many problems in the team, I at least think that Manchester United will not be able to improve their performance much in the coming season with so many problems. However, they have spent some money this season to bring players to the club, for this the management should be thanked because they were behaving in such a way at the beginning of this transfer window that they were not tensing up about bringing new players to their club.

The part where I blame Ten Hag in his time as the manager for Manchester United is the part where he always got it wrong with his signings because he had the backing of the club and they gave him players he wanted and he made bad decisions which cost the club more damage even after he left, his predecessor suffered too with his signings so I blame him 100%.

I'm not sure about this but signing of new players are not only work of manager, collective effort of all the managers are out in place before they make list of players they needed for the particular market season. By the time they get the final boys sort out, they have to seek opinion of the management board to make the decision. I feel even if he has access to buy new players, he must make sure the club top people are doing the job together with him.

Till date, I don't know what exactly to say about Onana deal till now. There were several and better opportunities to sign good goalkeepers but instead he went ahead to sign Onana for cheap amount of money but to make him come, they offered him a large salary and ever since he came to the club till ETH left, the goalkeepers is a menace and nothing to the club and yet I don't understand what the club plan on doing with him, it's not from a place of critiques, that guy is very bad.

We start the new season finally with a game between Liverpool and Bournemouth at Anfield... What are your thoughts on this one? 

The odds are quite normal. 1.29 for Liverpool and 9.00 for Bournemouth. The home side has really low odds so no need to take that. Instead what about Liverpool & BTTS @2.29?

It is the first game of the season. I want to trust the away side to contribute with a goal too.

Amorim has realize this situation that rumoured is Manchester United will look for new goalkeeper and i found one name which potentially will buy by them and he is PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma that after decided will not to extended his contract Donnarumma rumoured will be leave PSG this season it because rather than let him leave for free PSG most likely will sell Donnarumma before his contract ended

The price tag isn't expensive because PSG only want 30 million and probably Manchester United can buy him because i am sure if he joining this summer Manchester United defense will be more strong but so far Manchester United have spend a lot of money to buy Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Šeško so they have to sell some players first before buy Donnarumma

[Antotena]

This season will be for Amorim. We will all see what he will be able to do, because he is trying to correct all the mistakes done by Erik ten Hag, which is why you see Manchester United spending much to build a strong squad. If it works out for them, and there is a possibility that it will, they will definitely make it to the Champions League next season, which will be a good improvement for them. As we all saw last season, they were not able to do anything in the Premier League due to poor management. But for now, all the money spent will be displayed on the pitch, with no doubt.

Amorim can't change anything until the players are ready. Look at what happen to Chelsea, Graham potter was just like Erik Ten Hag, even worser than him. Lampard came and there wasn't any improvement, that was even the worst aspect of his career, Pochettino did the same until Maresca came and change everything about Chelsea, he has only spend just one season but he appeared among those that is going to be best coach in the upcoming Balon D'or event.

What do you think happened in Chelsea transition state, it's not like the coaches are bad, they were good and that was why the club hired them for the role but nothing change until Maresca turn and he regurgitate the players, send some out as loan and the club became better than it was before his tenure. Even if the coach has a first class in his style, the players are going to stress. If I remember correctly, when Amorim came, the players were all excited winning all matches until it wasn't any longer, that means something is wrong somewhere.

€30m for Gianluigi Donnarumma who's literally on less than a year contract is quiet expensive for a goalkeeper, it would in the best interest of PSG to sell at a reasonable amount or risk losing him for free next summer.

The manager doesn't want him anymore, he has accepted his fate, the club must find a common ground for both parties to benefit but the €30m is quite too high.

In as much as I don't like Ten Hang, the truth is he came and met Manchester United problems but at the same time I can't also say that he didn't contribute to the problems in the team currently. Amorim has a big task ahead of him and I really do hope the Portuguese coach succeeds in his quest to turn Manchester United around.

So Newcastle for the second season in a row is not gonna made super spends and is gonna play with the same base team as the previous season?.

I mean this can be good in some cases for sure because the base is super important  and you know how every player play and if its working is the better to not make any adjustment, but since they have to play UCL i was expecting some more from them.

 Yeah, looks like Newcastle are taking the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach for the second season running. Stability isn’t a bad thing — the chemistry in that squad is solid, and Eddie Howe clearly trusts the core he’s built.
But here’s the thing… UCL is a different beast. The Premier League grind is one thing, but when you throw in midweek trips to Europe against top-tier opponents, squad depth becomes ,,everything,,. Without a couple of quality reinforcements, you risk burning out key players by February.

I get they don’t want to go full “Chelsea 2023” and buy half the market just for the sake of it, but some targeted signings could make the difference between surviving in the Champions League and actually competing. If they want to stay at the top, standing still is basically moving backward.

Liverpool odds really tells us if they gonna win easily. However, i think considering how weak their defense. The chance for their opponent to score is always there. I don't rule out Bournemouth's chance to score at least one goal in this game. It's wise to take BTTS as our bet.

Liverpool & BTTS is a valid option but I think it is riskier. A simple BTT could be just fine and the odds will be around 1.70 or above which is also a fair odd. I am not confident in going Liverpool direct win but that doesn't mean that they cannot do it. But I'm just skeptical.

Aston Villa - Newcastle looks such a competitive fixture truthfully. The odds are also telling us this:

- Aston Villa : 2.32
- Newcastle : 3.00

The home side is favoured slightly... Their latest fixture at this stadium was a disaster for Newcastle - 4-1.  

But this time we're just starting the season. Newcastle is happy to keep Isak for now but he doesn't share the same feelings tho. He is the key player for them in this match.

This match is difficult to predict honesty. Aston villa has made some signings and sold some players. So I don't know how their strength will be this season. In the other hand, we can say that Isak is not happy but that will normally not affect his performance.

Yeah, I think he knows that he's under the spotlight and would seek to turn things around. I really hope he does. Their performance last season was terrible. I don't know about making it to the champions league just yet. It's way too early to see Manchester united finishing amongst the top 4 and it pretty much seems to be wishful thinking at this point.
With the new signings, one can be hopeful about a noticeable improvement in their performance. It was quite disheartening to see the poor performance displayed last season and one can only hope for something better this season. Fingers crossed..

United a still going to have a poor season, I don't expect much from them. I don't even see them making the top 4 or top 5, so they can qualify for the Champions League. People may disagree with me, but I have my reasons, and the biggest reason is their midfield.
Man United's midfield is still crap. They have a good attack now, but without the right midfield, I'm afraid it's all going to crumble. This transfer window, they have focused on the attack and neglected the midfield. The only good midfielder United has currently is Bruno Fenades. They need a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder who can be a controller. Caemiro, Ugarte, Kobe Mainoo, they're all not good enough. When they meet a midfield that is technical and physical, they will get bullied. I understand they're in a rebuilding process, but they should have gotten one good midfielder at least to smooth things up. I have never seen a team that succeeds without a good midfield.

Crystal palace are continuing their top form from last season. To go down twice and came back both times against a fully stacked Liverpool team is great. Crystal palace has the most underrated defense in the English premier league, people don't talk about how good their defense down to the keeper has been.
Crystal palace are also great in attack, today's game also should be a reminder to Liverpool that they need to also invest in their centre backs, it's time to get fresh blood in .

Literally Crystal Palace have managed to maintain their best form since last season but their recent victories against Liverpool may be down to the new additions to their squad. It is largely true that Crystal Palace may have been able to win the FA Community Shield title for the first time, there was a lot of excitement among them in this match. In my opinion the hero in the shootout in this Community Shield match was the Crystal Palace goalkeeper because he was able to stop Mac Allister's shot, one of the Liverpool players who have recently been nominated for the Ballon d'Or. We all saw that some of Liverpool's big summer signings took to the field but they couldn't put in a satisfactory performance against Crystal Palace.

Crystal palace's comeback versus Liverpool was extraordinary and their defense is on fire not famous names but strong and rigorous. in the previous season they conceded 51 goals which is not a high level accomplishment but is a honourable mid range when you compare them with big teams. In addition to that their goalkeeper dean Henderson had finished the league with 11 clean sheet which put him 4th best in the league. On the other side Liverpool have shown interest in signing crystal palace's center back Marc Guehi to help them with their own defensive problems. So yes the Palace's defense is underestimated and Liverpool will soon try to solidify themselves  by trying to take the main piece from Crystal Palace .

the only expectation i will have for amorin is that he does better than his last seasons performance, once he is able to achieve that and at least bring the team back to shape such that they start playing like a team that can get something done in the long run, then i can assume that the united that can qualify for the champions league is gradually coming back to life and maybe before the end of the season they can pull up something really amazing.

there is a lot of things we will be looking out for that can not be visible now that the season has not started fully. ofcause, the preparation from other teams is something we can not take for granted because so far, all the top teams are at the top of there games and are not ready to relent and allow anyone get pass them. we can point at somany teams that are better prepared than even uniteed that will be hoping to still make it to the top spot of the league which will give them access for the champions league qualification.

Amorim seems to have accepted a huge challenge. He couldn't make it last year because he didn't have enough time and players. This year, he'll have enough time, and if they play like last year, things will be very bad. This will be a year of improvement for Manchester United.

To me I'm not just seeing the to qualify for champions League I'm seeing them to win a trophy with that squad, like I'm just kind of happy for them, they've really gone through a lot these few years and I believe this season is their redemption season, a season to rebuild and and equally win, I just hope they land baleba to old Trafford so the midfield will be okay since the attack is already okay and the defense line too I kind of have faith on the defenders, my only fear for them is the goal keeper like onana is not really the man for that job, he will screw everything up, what will be the need of scoring 2 goals then conceive 3, because that's exactly what I'm seeing from Sunday.

Tottenham playing like they are the real PSG in this game...0 fear from them and no wonder they are leading 2-0 and by the looks of the game they could score more until game ends because surely PSG will try to go all-in and Spurs will need just one or two counter-attacks to score.

Also , winning 2 European trophies in 1 year ? in this manner ? I have nothing but respect for Tottenham now.

From the look of things in this game, Tottenham might win the game. PSG have more ball possession but it has not shown in their attack and goal attempt. Tottenham seems to have learned how to beat PSG from Chelsea. These teams will allow the European champions to enjoy the control of the game, while they take advantage of any opening to score goals.

I don't know what's happening in this match. PSG faded faster compared to other clubs that do win the Champions League. Look at how they are playing like the underdog in this match. I don't know why I bet on them to win Tottenham, because I doubted their defeat by Chelsea. Tottenham made proper use of their opportunities and score two goals when they had it.
