Topic: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 - page 594. (Read 776577 times)

Chelsea is currently struggling in the second leg of the play-off round in the Conference League against Servette. And even though Chelsea controlled the game very well, they are now 2-1 behind their opponents. but Chelsea already had the advantage from the first leg. So if Chelsea maintains its current score then Chelsea should still qualify with an aggregate lead of 1 goal.

In the Premier League in the last match we saw Chelsea improving. and maybe the results of the match in the European Conference league can also be a reference for predicting their next match in the premier league. And in the next match against Crystal Palace I think I will favor Chelsea.

I think Arsenal have changed for good this season; getting a new midfielder to get everything right is the best thing as they have it now, so I believe everything will go smoothly as we want. However, the Premier League is very tough competition, but I think Arsenal can also make it to the final and get the title, as if Manchester City were very strong; no one will argue that, but as it is now, we are also ready for them this season. Arteta has already fixed our problem, and we are fully ready for the tittle race this season; none stop this time around. 

You are been biased for these statements you made about Arsenal, I think you have to keep sentiment aside and tell the truth because everyone has seen the changes Arteta has brought into the Arsenal squad. His effort towards winning the League in the last two season were recognised because the team stood out to outperform Manchester City, just that inexperience let them done to gave Manchester City the title.
Last season, it was due to lack of prolific striker; and even though no striker has been signed yet, I don't think Arsenal will lose some kind matches they lost season because one of them has been corrected already.

Nevertheless, you cannot desipute the fact that Arsenal have good creative midfielders, they have good squad depth and have signed good players that will help the team, the only problem now is a reliable striker because Gabriel Jesus is not reliable due to injury.

At the end of this season, every Liverpool fan will probably say that their previous manager was better if the current manager can't work hard to improve the team's performance.  Liverpool's position last season was probably number three or number four in the English Premier League. This season, Liverpool must be brought to a better position. If the current manager fails, Liverpool fans will not want him. There was a time when we considered Liverpool as an auto choice in the list of best teams but currently Liverpool are not performing like that which is why we now doubt whether they can stay from 1 to 5 in the points table.

Arteta continues to try to improve the performance of the Arsenal squad little by little every season. And it seems like he continues to learn from every mistake he makes in every season. 2022-2023 season Arsenal lacks good second-string players. So when key players were injured we immediately saw the Arsenal squad weaken at the end of the season and be overtaken by Man City. And then last season, namely the 2023-2024 season, we saw Arsenal with a more mature squad where they also had several good players in the second tier. but their defense at that time looked mediocre. And now in the 2024-25 season we can see Arteta again trying to perfect the Arsenal squad and the result is that Arsenal now even has a better defensive line. And their attack efficiency has also increased. And I think Arsenal this time will really be much more difficult for any team in the EPL to beat.

Chelsea played brilliantly against Wolverhampton and I don’t mind their fans celebrating their victory at all but I think it is too early to say that Chelsea is back. The league is just starting, if they are consistent with their current performance maybe then the fans can hope to see the club in the conversation for title contenders.

Former Chelsea player now pundit, Mikel Obi has been ranting about how Chelsea needs a striker who can score goals, criticizing Nicolas Jackson’s performance at Chelsea and favoring Victor Osimhen for that role. Jackson has since responded to Mikel Obi’s criticism on X, but even the fans know that Jackson’s finishing is poor and agree that the criticism is warranted.  If I was a Chelsea fan, I would rather have Osimhen than Jackson in my team. In my opinion, Chelsea cannot depend on Nicolas Jackson as a striker, he is not a player that can guarantee you goals every week.

Your statement is on point, am having a rethink about arsenal based on their recent performance although we can't really judge now but looking at what the team is doing presently one will conclude that there are lot of improvement in the team and thats Arteta managerial skills in action, the team is really giving their fans impressive moment and I believe that with this kind of strength in them, there will likely be a great surprise from them this season.
It will be disastrous if the board decide to take any silly decision at this point because as it stands the team is rebuilding and there are no lapses for now, so I don't see any form of decision that does go with supporting the manager as good one, the board should understand that having a good team is not an easy thing, what they really need to be considering now is to put heads together with the manager to see how the present form of the team can be sustained any move aside that, may be regretted later.

The last season and the second to the last season were unfortunate seasons for Arsenal as English Premier League is becoming non competitive as Manchester City is winning the league almost all seasons since 10 or more years ago. Let us see what would happen this season but I do not have confidence on Arsenal just like before. Manchester City and Liverpool are playing very good games. We should also consider Brighton as it is playing good for now and the club won Manchester United. But I think Manchester City might win the league again as the club really understand what it takes to win English Premier League. What I will advice Arsenal to work towards is to find a way to win Manchester City if the club really want to win that league this season. Also Liverpool is there which is another obstacle.

That is Arsenal's main problem, they usually fail at the end of the season almost two seasons now that they have failed to defeat Manchester City to achieve the league trophy, but I think they should correct their mistakes Arteta will try his best and control the winning thing they achieve the trophy because I see that if Arsenal didn't get the chance to defeat Manchester City this season and win the trophy, I don't think Arsenal will win the Premier League anymore, expect Guadiola have leave the club. Liverpool are in good form now, and I think they will challenge Manchester City with the new coach, and he will do anything possible to win the league, because it is Manchester City that is preventing other clubs from winning the league, if not Guadiola, Arsenal should have achieved two trophies already, but they failed to win Guadiola and top them in the league table. this season is new, let's see how the league goes.

This is not the right time to praise the Arsenal coach Arteta because he doesn't deserve the praises yet untill he breaks the bearer in his team by bringing the trophy back to Arsenal this season, if he is able to challenge Manchester City from the beginning of the season till the end and maintain good performance and not get tired halfway to like the last two seasons that is when he will be seen as a coach who has understood the football business like Pep Guardiola. There is a little improvement in the Arsenal team and they have improved in their performance also but all this has been seen over the last two seasons and they still failed to win the league, until Arteta is able to make the Arsenal team to take every game with all seriousness and the three points as the major target then I don't see them getting the opportunity to win the league.

Arsenal lacks a winning mentality and proper finishing. So, they ended the season without a trophy. I knew how frustrated you were after Arsenal got backstabbed by Manchester City twice in a row. But, it's okay to feel optimistic about Arsenal's chance to win the trophy.

It's because they're still a title contender with City and Liverpool this season. There is still a chance to win the trophy. It would pay off last season's disappointment for their fans.

It has been very depreciating performance for Southampton on this premier League that they have played two matches but could not record any win or draw  is actually a bad start for them because if there is a time they need to put more seriousness on there performance this is of course the best moment to do that but I'm surprise they are not putting any effort at all, however the disappointing part of it is that they have even played more better than the both clubs especially there match against Nottingham Forest because those that watch the match would understand that Southampton was supposed to win the game but they totally messed up there chances of obtaining the 3 points.

Is very unfortunate for Southampton that they failed to improve or make some changes on there attacking force before the season started because there attacking force is just the same as there previous season is not going to be easy on them this season and there next match will be against Brentford and the question remains that will they be able to win Brentford?, because already Brentford is much stronger than Southampton and they have also played two matches lose one and win one, so perhaps the possibility of Southampton wining them is very little because there would also be a home advantage for Brentford.

Well, I'll say that most of you football fans do not know about the rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool. I don't lie when I say that they have a great rivalry with Liverpool. Manchester United might not be in the best form or even playing good football, but whenever they meet Liverpool irrespective of being home and away, they play like Real Madrid in every Champions League finals. Not to forget quickly how last season played out, Manchester United didn't lose to Liverpool and at the same time, they knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup Competition last season.
They'll be at Old Trafford on Sunday and I'm expecting nothing less than a win or draw from them honestly. Difficult game you know but, I'm certain they could get three solid points or salvage a point outta the game.
They don't I'm my opinion, the first goal was an individual error from Harry Maguire and of not for that cancelled Garnacho's goal, Manchester United shouldn't have lost that game. We should call spade a spade, Manchester United did well. In general, the first half selection was decided poorly by Erik Ten Hag.

Come on, don't expect too much from Arsenal because they have disappointed their fans too often. It's not about how strong their defense is, not how creative their midfielders are, nor how productive their attackers are, but this about the winning mentality that Arsenal lacks.

Remember that Arsenal always fail at the end of the season and open the way for Manchester City. This is clearly a weakness that Arteta should be able to patch up this season, but it's not easy to change it in an instant. Arsenal's performance consistency is good at the beginning of the season, but they will decline as the season draws to a close, that's the scenario of their failure so far.

Arteta understands what football is to the public. If you want to win the Premier League right now, its not about how many goals you are able to score in a match its about winning each game throughout the league and that is what Pep Guardiola has been doing right from the start of Manchester City. Right now Arsenals defense is stronger than what it is before, Arteta still bought more midfielders who can hold the ball for long and shoot when necessary. This is how they can win the league. When they concede less goal and win all the matches.

Manchester players are not that fast, their players work hard and they have stop a lot of goals, but when luck is not with you, you have to lose the match, but luck can be change.  Arsenal are in good form and will take no time to dominate the Manchester side.  And the match between them has been quite interesting and Arsenal perform in it tells us well that they play well and win the match against Manchester.  And these matches will be quite interesting as these three teams are well perform and strong.Manchester can turn themselves around if they build momentum.  If it succeeds in this Arsenal team will not be difficult to beat easily.

Last season there was actually a moment where it was beneficial for other teams to seize the title from Manchester City, but at the same time they also experienced a problem and had to achieve several unsatisfactory results. as experienced by Liverpool. Liverpool is a team that is expected to break the dominance of Manchester City and they have that opportunity. But unfortunately they had to experience something unwanted when the season was about to end and it happened in crucial matches. Even they had to accept unsatisfactory results when they faced a team that on paper they were very favored.

If you mean disappointing in the sense of failing to win the title, personally I can't say they won't disappoint their supporters, because this is just the beginning of the season which is still a long way to go until the end of the season. Moreover, we don't know what problems they will face, I don't expect that to happen, but in football there are always surprising things, one of which is a problem that might hit a team, such as a storm of injuries or other things. For now, Arsenal does look better, they have enough capital to go through this season very well. It depends on them, whether they will be consistent enough, especially when they have a problem.

This is exactly what has been running in my head because I have been thinking about Haaland if they are a good replacement for him in the team, but it is not that they are not a replacement for him, but the replacement will not be as good as Haaland is to Manchester City. Although we know it is hard for them to find the best to replace it, Haaland go on an injury and know well that Arsenal and Liverpool's defence is strong, then those teams will wait for such time and utilise it in order to go more than we expected from them, so definitely this season's trophy is dangling for Manchester City because they already have a medium chance to win the trophy again.

Chelsea fans deserve to be happy for this amazing win over Wolves. You don't see many days in the Premier League for a team to score so many goals, so fair play to Chelsea. They found the perfect rhythm of attack, and used that to their best.
I honestly think that Cole Palmer has the abilities to become the best number 10 in all of England. He is creative, clinical, and very calm. That's three of the best qualities an attacker needs. He showed his decision making abilities in the game against the Wolves, and let's be honest, if not for Palmer, Madueke wouldn't have had his hat-trick. There is no way.

For Chelsea to keep this rhythm, they have to show up in games with a strong mentality and the idea of to not giving up. I think they only started dominating the game when Wolves slowly gave up, and started giving away much more opportunities for Chelsea. I think in the past Chelsea have given up a lot of games too, which led them to such a bad state. In the Tuchel era and time before that, Chelsea were much more demanding, they always played to get all three points from a game. They need to return to that state.

I think it's going to be a bit harder for Manchester City to win the title this season compared to the last few seasons. There is no doubt that Manchester City are very strong. However, if Haaland somehow suffers an injury, it will be difficult for City to maintain consistency. In the past few seasons we have seen Haaland playing as Alvarez as Haaland's replacement when he faced injury. And we've seen good performances from Alvarez in every match. Manchester City do not have a suitable replacement for Haaland this season.

Arsenal and Liverpool, on the other hand, have tried to solve their internal squad problems this season. And these two groups have been largely successful. We saw better performances from Arsenal and Liverpool in both matches. So if Manchester City's performance is unstable then it will not be possible for City to occupy the top spot in the table this season. This is why I think it will be more difficult for Manchester City to dominate the Premier League this year.
