Reacting To My '23/24 FLOPS' PREDICTION

The Irish Guy takes a look at every Premier League club's one player who he predicted to flop at the start of the season, including the likes of Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, Arsenal forward Kai Havertz and Newcastle star Tino Livramento.

i mean yamal 16 and he's been grand so, age aint a factor that more unlike in the 90's

[@akshatsharma5051]

Kai havertz proved everyone wrong including me. As an arsenal fan he has been pivotal for us , I think his best attribute is his off the ball workrate and runs into the box. The guy is genuinely class.

[@man4437]

I always thought Havertz was much better than the Chelsea system was alllowing him to be, what with him being the only actual goal threat half the time, but even then, he's been better than I expected at Arsenal.

[@dannycampbell1294]

It's soo strange how under soo many different managers the Chelsea system seems to strangle forwards and stop them reaching potential, the Drogba curse

@man4437 I would say credit to arteta, he has got the best out of him

[@user-sw9ry3rg7u]

We all should of known he was a striker really , chelsea don't have many over the years they seem break them a curse you could say . Gone arsenal and scored often curse lifted off kai

[@igortolstov487]

[@ripdippy6964]

Calling an 18 yr old bench player, flekken, and Igor flops is horrendous 😭

[@reda84.]

Nah haven't watched the video yet but no way he called flekken a flop 😭

[@user-ty3uw7fd9w]

He also was generous to not call a 75 million pound striker who’s only scored 8 premier league goals not a flop

[@hy3r691]

Ashley Phillips one is wholly unfair. He’s 18, bought as a prospect and has been pretty good for Plymouth. Hardly a “flop.”

[@kakashichidori7]

Yeah he has been amazing for us and that's coming from a plymouth fan

[@LeeMonHussain95]

Nkunku was such an easy pick for Chelsea because he was injured before the season began so it would’ve been difficult for him to play regularly enough to score 10 goals

[@Animalistic9]

Yep Roy didn't give França a chance, he's been injured under Glasner, but he won't be going on loan to Portugal next season.

[@DC-pb6xq]

Also as a Palace fan I didn’t really have the expectation he was going to be in the squad this year anyway considering Eze, Olise, and Ayew. He’s there for when Eze and Olise get poached in a year

[@Animalistic9]

@@DC-pb6xq I think under Roy we all had the expectation that we wouldn't see any younger players. But after the injury crisis, it should have been the perfect opportunity to see what França could do! One highlight was seeing Ozoh play against City!

[@Jonath_an1008]

The thing is it isn’t. Højlund hasn’t been a flop, as a young player at united in his first season (as a striker in this shitty united side) scoring 13+ goals this season is absolutely great. Not even close to a flop

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

@@Jonath_an1008 Not so much a flop, but his explanation of how his season would go was right on the money

[@Jonath_an1008]

@@Duval-In-The-Wall yea fair

[@Sianistic]

Flekken had a slow'ish start to be sure, but to call him a flop when the backline was rarely ever consistent (due to injuries going around) ... not as instant a safe pair of gloves as you'd might would've wanted, but given the circumstances and specially getting a better understanding of the team in the second half of the season, only slightly below average expectations, which is probably fair in a very difficult set of circumstances

[@GoodMorning-wc7yr]

Chermiti was signed quite literally to be the third choice striker. He's been playing with the youth teams and slowly getting into the squad.

[@reevo59]

Zaniolo had been improving all season and when he’s been needed he’s stepped up and made an impact. Calling him a flop just because he isn’t a regular starter is harsh

[@L-FOWERS82]

As a Villa fan, he is definitely a flop. Has scored two key goals neither particularly great and for some reason has been played ahead of others on multiple occasions. He has quite easily been our worst player this season

[@isaacjones5687]

4:03 Malcolm was Zenit best player while he was there, and you may say it’s only Russia, but before the sanctions, they were UCL regulars. Not to mention the fact he went for 60M to Al Hilal.

Flekken has been class. He had a shaky start but geniuinely has been keeping really fuckin well this season. A lot of our loses have been defensive issues rather than keeper issues

[@busteramove5]

I can't exactly explain Zaniola. He has had his moments but hasn't been a successful signing but is on loan, and I don't think we'll sign him for next season

[@nuudelz3711]

Waka waka ✋😛🤚

[@victorpresti]

Doku's assession is quite unfair. His style of play has given Man City 6 or 7 penalties, don't remember exactly how many. That's basically an extra 6 or 7 goals when you have Haaland on the team because of him.

[@kromebear3587]

Can chime in, Franca, when he played showed his potential. But yes, he has been hurt and done for the season pretty much since Glasner has arrived.

[@MonochromeYTMusic]

Can hardly say that Havertz was "fantastic" when he was shite for the entire season up until February, finally starting getting goals when he was forced into CF (whilst being surrounding by some of the best players in the league), and got most of his goal contributions (12/20) against teams like Luton, Burnley, Brentford, Sheffield United, Brighton and Bournemouth. His only truly good performances were against Newcastle (with Karius in goal ffs) and Chelsea (who had 14 first team injuries at the time and was playing fucking Alfie Gilchrist at RB). He's getting back into some good form and having a purple patch, but let's not pretend like he wasn't dogshit for 5 months and had some kind of amazing season.

[@seth4987]

as a villa fan, i would say he took a while to start up and hes had some bad moments like the wall against city, to me jury's still out but i would lean to not being a flop

[@Durbanite2010]

As an Arsenal fan, Havertz went missing in A LOT of matches for us earlier in the season, but you are correct to point out he has been brilliant lately. He needed time to settle. We still need a proper striker, but Havertz' goals have been vital. It's also vital to note the presence of Odegaard, Rice and Trossard, who have also been excellent lately, as well as the return of Partey - he is not my favourite player but he and Rice have formed a solid midfield base. Saying that, I hope Jorginho stays, since he is a different type of player and he likely helped Havertz to settle, both being ex-Chelsea. As for Pires, he's a coach at Arsenal and was spotted many times before his retirement from playing at London Colney training with Arsenal players. He's a Club legend who has physically never let himself go.

[@UBFM277]

Brighton fan here. Igor is not a flop. Solid player and good depth

[@unconquerablegaming6558]

my rule of thumb for making predictions is every player transfering out of Chelsea will be class but if they transfer in they will be flop

[@HaCkErFaCe24]

Nkunku shouldnt count as been injured the whole time for Chelsea. And thank you KAI HAVERTZ 😘. My Arsenal favourite this season.

[@bbailijiang_music]

Correction: at 11:38, it was quique setien who got smashed 8-2 not koeman

[@LightzyOG]

Hojlund deserves some slack, absolutely 0 service from his wingers and when he actually gets it he scores. Has the best conversion rate in the league with the very little good chances he gets.

[@shishkebab1008]

Very loose definition of flop. Im a Bees fan and Flekken is absolutely solid, he’s no David Raya but thats far from being a flop; if we had him in our first few years and stayed up you wouldn’t be thinking this

[@AJellySnakeRebel]

Villa fan here. - I've maintained all the way through there is/was a talent there. It seemed as though he was struggling with life in Birmingham and wasn't really getting regular mins when he came. Having all the injuries we have had.. has allowed him more time to bed in.. but maybe too little too late? its in the last 2 or 3 games he has really shone. but is it enough? unfortunately for Zaniolo... probably not. A shame.. because he is a great talent that is starting to show.
