Topic: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 - page 2069. (Read 789606 times)

I quite agree wit you though, I do not think that Manchester city will win the trophy this season, they probably might come close to winning it, but I don't think they would, a lot clubs are currently performing above expectations, and as such, this has made the premier league this season more competitive than most of us expected.

Arsenal seem to be in a much more better position to win the title this season, but just incase they fail, which I am stil hoping they don't, Liverpool or Aston villa seems quite ready and prepared to take over.
But then again, just incase all this clubs fail to perform well, and Manchester city end up winning the trophy again this season, then, it might again turn out to be another disappointing season for me, since I am honestly not in support of Manchester city winning the trophy again, after having won last season, and I think even the previous one before the last season.

I believe what happened to Arsenal last season will happen again, because they have started playing weak games, and he will affect their chances of winning the Premier League trophy, and make Liverpool win, and now that Manchester City are in the top 4 in the league table, I believe Guadiola will try his hardest to top the league if Liverpool make any mistakes, because if Manchester City top the league, I don't think they will get any club that will bring them down again in the Premier League if they top the table now because guadiola will not make any mistakes that will make him drop any point. I expected Liverpool or Arsenal to win the league title this season, but I see Arsenal starting to play weak games in their matches, and I don't believe West Ham can defeat Arsenal so easily in Emirates Stadium, which is why football is unpredictable. West Ham currently leads Manchester United by two points, and if they continue to perform well they can finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

Arsenal were the only team to challenge Manchester City for the title last season. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United and Tottenham performed poorly. But this season's scenario is different. The performance of Arsenal and Liverpool players is now stronger than the performance of Manchester City players. These two teams are playing very well. And they are playing with the goal of winning the title. At the same time, the performance of Aston Villa players is also quite good. On the other hand, due to the injuries of De Bruyne and Haaland, Manchester City's performance is a bit weak now. So it is challenging for Manchester City to win the title this season. And I'd say Manchester City are more likely not to win the title.

Arsenal defeat against West Ham did not put Arsenal out of the title race this season, I am sure Arteta has learned from last season's failure. Arsenal is only two points behind Liverpool, there is still a big possibility for Arsenal to return to the top of the standings because there are still so many matches that have not been completed. A defeat like this is very normal and can happen to any team, it is very difficult to finish the entire match without losing, sometimes results like this are needed so that the coach can continue to learn from the defeats his team experiences.

If measured in terms of points scored, Arsenal's performance is better than Manchester City. The defeat against West Ham was very painful for Arsenal because they failed to return to the top of the standings, but this defeat was not the end for Arsenal because they could make up for their mistake by winning in the next match.

Liverpool in the tittle race position right now behind lead top standings position two points left from Arsenal but need consistency until the end of matches how possibility Liverpool can stop Manchester City dominance winning Premier League tittle last several years. Until matchday 19 have many teams in tittle race not only Liverpool but also have Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur with not many points left from each teams.
But depend which one have stable performance and keep consistency in the winning trend get chance for winning premier league tittle in this season with usually Manchester City always win on many crucial match exactly last season success defeated Arsenal manager top standings more longer time.

If you still relaxed on Manchester city to win this trophy, you will fail at the end because many teams that did not do well last season are the teams coming close to top position in the table currently because, they have performed well to beat some teams they find difficult to beat last season. Yesterday results made Liverpool to sit comfortable in the first position because, Arsenal lose to their opponent in their home that gave Liverpool opportunity to be in the eye of people the team that will win this trophy this season if Arsenal miss it again.

I know that Aston villa will not last in that second position but it will be difficult for Manchester city to win this trophy in this season because, some of their talented strikers are facing some injuries that will make some not to join them to play soon based on their medical report.

Arsenal lack of competent striker is a major consign and obstacle to winning the title this season, it was obvious in yesterday match against West Ham that the inability of Gabriel Jesus to convert some of their goal scoring chances was partially responsible for their loss it's very glaring if they have a striker like Haaland I am very sure they would have gotten a positive result from that match, Nketiah alternative striker who was always benched for Gabriel Jesus is neither competent enough too thus it up to the manager to scout for a very profilic striker in January transfer window else if the team continue to play the duo mentioned above there chances of winning the league would be slim.

I agree with you. West Ham definitely deserved this win. We saw Arsenal's dominance throughout the match though. But West Ham were very tactical. The players were confident. Arsenal's players attacked a lot, but West Ham's players were not fazed at all. They were able to successfully counter Arsenal's attacks. And importantly, West Ham's players were able to produce several excellent counter-attacks. Since Arsenal played completely attacking, their defense was vulnerable. The players of West Ham used this opportunity well. And they managed to score two goals.

Arsenal's loss to West Ham is a clear illustration that the Premier League title is pretty much open for every team that wants to contest it. Half of the premier league matches have been played, the remaining half is to be played, and we don't the clubs that will win more or lose more of their match.
Before we decide on that, Arteta needs to work on Arsenal's defense because that seems to be their weak spot, and other teams they play against will hold on to that to play a counterattack against them. it will be bad if their frontline attacking force is good but their backline defense is porous.
It won't speak well of Arteta's record this time if Arsenal loses out on lifting the Premier League title this season like the way the previous season(lifting the PL title) slipped out of Arsenal's hands.

Liverpool is definitely in the title race, what i like most about their title charge this season is how they have gone about it with little to no noise, at the start of the season everyone was looking at City and Arsenal only, and too many people were not giving Liverpool a chance at the title, maybe because of how bad they were last season. Having said that, Liverpool have proved that they can still challenge for the title, and yes they can win it, though imo City are my favorites to win the title and Liverpool would come second.

Arsenal failure to secure full points at home surprised everyone, many thought that Arteta squad could take over the top of the standings from Liverpool. However, the final result of the match said differently, West Ham emerged as winners and Arsenal became losers at the Emirates. There was a lot of backlash following the 2-0 loss to West Ham, questioning Arsenal strength in the trophy race, and comparing Arsenal to other title challenging clubs, all of which led to doubts that Arsenal would not be able to win silverware this season.

Man City is 5 points adrift of Liverpool at the top of the standings, while Arsenal is 3 points adrift, and Aston Villa is 2 points adrift. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola squad has 37 points, and Man City still has one match postponed against Brentford. That means City opportunity to overtake Aston Villa and Arsenal is quite big in the future, if Liverpool slips too then Pep will bring City back to the top of the standings.

I honestly am not surprised that they both lost last night because these two have the habit of disappointing their fans when it most matters. Had Tottenham won last night they would have moved up from their 5th position and nestled at the 4th spot, pushing Man City back, whereas Arsenal would have taken back their place from Liverpool but what happened? They lost woefully to clubs that should naturally not pose a threat. The annoying part is that of Arsenal who had 30 shots on target but could not find the net, instead all Arteta could see to do was to blame VAR for making a wrong decision by awarding that first goal.
 Arsenal need a lot of good finishers because I've got to be honest, Gabriel Jesus isn't just cutting it, for me he performs better when he plays from the wing . Imagine him making silly mistakes and losing chances that should have seen them win the game comfortably, yet Arteta continues playing him as a striker. Another error Arteta seemed to commit was playing Zinchenko as a defender and I was asking myself what really was wrong with him yesterday.
 Truly, football is a sport filled with surprises but I was so not impressed with both Tottenham and Arsenal last night and if this is how they (the Gunners) hope to carry the title, they has better pull out now while it's still early. These two clubs showed that from their performance last night, they aren't fit to represent North London.

It is very clear that Arsenal are in need of a sticker who can be scoring 20 goals and above each season if they are ever going to win the premier league again. The stricking department in the club is not producing. If they can get a good stricker by January they will have a chance of winning the league this season.

It would not be wrong for Arsenal fans to hope for better and higher this season because as you can see, Arsenal is also close to the team at the top of the standings at the moment. Meanwhile, Chelsea is still quite far behind Arsenal and Liverpool, so you shouldn't have too high hopes for Chelsea, but for Arsenal it is still quite logical that there are fans who hope for better things, even if it's not by recruiting new players in the transfer market this winter. Because new players still don't necessarily fit into Arsenal's current playing pattern.

If you look at the game from the start, I think everyone will think that Arsenal will win this match. Even if you don't watch the match and just look at the statistics throughout the match, I'm sure people will think Arsenal won this match. This is unlucky for Arsenal, because in terms of opportunities they have more opportunities, even they also control the game. I say West Ham is lucky in this match, can only create 6 attempts and can make 2 goals. While Arsenal they continuously attacked and 30 attempts they made, none of them could lead to goals.
With this result they failed to return to the top, and Livepool must be happy with what Arsenal achieved in this match because at least for now they are still safe at the top of the standings.

I am just coming on here for the first time since yesterday after watching the humiliating match between Arsenal and westham united.
Needless say that that match seem to be the worst match Arsenal have played in all the matches they have played all through this season, it's so disappointing and I could even bear to watch that match to the finish, those who read my comment here before this one will remember I made mention of placing a bet on that game, it's been a while since I last placed a bet on premiere league matches, so I actually did place a bet on Arsenal yesterday since I was kind of over confident that they would win the match, but unfortunately, they failed woefully, not even an attempt from them to try to win the match by atleast, scoring one goal.

Right now, I am begining to doubt If Arsenal will learnt from their mistake last season.

It's not about being ready or not because anyway, last season also Arsenal managed to be at the top of the table but yes, in the end Arsenal failed and Arsenal failure like that at least was predictable too. But unfortunately, at this moment it is very possible for Arsenal to repeat the same mistakes as in the last season so yes, because Arsenal repeated the same mistakes then this is not about being ready or not because anyway, the fact is Arsenal still failed.

Indeed, basically Arsenal still really need points to return to the top of the table but still, Arsenal do not have a good performance to take advantage of the opportunity. Because anyway, at this moment the reality is that Manchester City also fell and only Liverpool are strong competitors at the top of the standings. But still, even though only Liverpool are Arsenal's strong competitors at this moment, in the end Arsenal can only finish in the top four and not for the title.

Man City seemed to have prepared everything very neatly, when several lags were experienced they were able to survive a little so as not to fall too far into the position. Now the return of several  important players will provide additional strength in closing the gap with the teams at the top. Because currently there is instability occurring Aston Villa is starting to lose fuel to continue extending the positive trend and Arsenal has just been beaten by West Ham United without being able to put up a fight.  Maybe now Liverpool is worthy enough to  compete with Man City and prove who won the trophy.

In fact, previously, what I could not be sure of winning in this match was Chelsea or Manchester United because the chances were still a little complicated with their performance but in the end the fact that Arsenal were the ones who disappointed made me a little upset lol.

But it is a game and anything can happen, now we just have to focus on the situation that will happen in the future.
With the results that happened this week Arsenal must be willing to lose their position at the top of the standings because the points were overtaken by Liverpool but their chance is still there before the EPL is off because looking at the rest of the current match Arsenal will face Fulham who are in chaos with 3 consecutive defeats they received and Liverpool will face a pretty tough match against Newcastle even though currently Newcastle are also in a problem that is very difficult for them to solve because of the series of bad results they received.
As long as Liverpool are held back by Newcastle, Arsenal's strong chance to reclaim the top of the standings can be obtained before the EPL holiday.

Like the previous season the Premier League title for Arsenal is still a mystery so it is not surprising why many people are quite doubtful when facing the final season making it a habit for them  to show less than good performances. We know that Liverpool and Man City are always aggressive when clubs like Arsenal are starting to falter, Arteta is still focused  on building a team by gathering young players. Maybe he would prefer to see Arsenal in the long term but if they are  unable to win the title Arteta will get a warning from the fans.
