Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Leviathan.007]

Erik Ten Hag’s interview were very funny (if you’re a neutral fan) and annoying (if you’re a Manchester United fan). In one particular post match interview where Manchester United lost the game against Tottenham Hotspur, Ten Hag said he was not going to count the loss because they picked a red card in the game. I couldn’t believe my ears. How can a manager say he going to pretend that a loss never happened? What are the players going to take away from that statement? Ten Hag deserved to be fired, too bad he can’t ignore his sack letter.

What do you want him to say? A coach will always forget about and loss and prepare for the next game. And a red card is a vilid reason to lose a match, especially against a formidable team like Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United's problems might be bigger than just the coach. Everybody seems to be blaming Erik Ten Hag for the club's woes. However, it is normal to blame the coach for failure and praise him for success. I also think some players need to leave the club or be benched for poor performance. The sacking of the coach and the bringing in of a new one will show if the club's problem is just the coach. Ruben Amorim seems to be at the frontline for the vacant job, we will have to wait to see how things will turn out in the post-Ten Hag era.        

The way Ten Hag left Manchester United was shameful for him. Ten Hag was a known and good coach before he joined Manchester United and he had good performances before. Even after he joined this team he helped Manchester United got improve a lot and that's why they decided to give Ten Hag more time even after he had bad performances in some games but still, they didn't give up.
Now, after getting fired from Manchester United, it seems he was hiding in his car, and he left Endlang for the Netherlands using his jet.
Maybe one reason for his bad performance was not having a good relationship with his palyers.

Manchester United management needed to fire Ten Hag earlier. If Manchester United had sacked Ten Hag at the start of the season, we would have seen a better performance from Manchester United now.

Manchester United's new coach is Ruud van Nistelrooy. We know he has performed brilliantly in the jerseys of Manchester United, Real Madrid and PSV. But he is not experienced enough as a coach. I thought Manchester United would hire a more experienced coach. However, it remains to be seen if Ruud van Nistelrooy can stabilize the Manchester United squad.

Well, this is what we heard before when Ten Hag was given the opportunity in 2 matches and he wasted so he must be fired. I don't know yet about the new Manchester United coach, but I know it's not an easy task to bring the team to be better after poor performance lately. Whoever the coach is of course it takes time and process and a little reshuffle is needed. Maybe we can expect something to Manchester United in the middle of the coming season.

For this season instead of competing for the title I think the main target of Manchester United is to get one of the tickets to the European League and unfortunately this is not an easy achievement because there are more competitors there such as Aston Villa and Chelsea.

[tottong]

The condition of the Manchester United team is really chaotic now so it is appropriate for the team management to take firm action against Ten Hag's coaching this season. Because I can't imagine if a team like Manchester United was relegated and had to play at a lower level again in order to rise back to the Premier League because of their suboptimal performance this season. Now everyone can see for themselves where Manchester United is in the standings and I think that is very painful for their own fans.

I don't think will be that bad and Manchester United will not be relegated even if Erik Ten Hak is not fired.
But unfortunately he had to leave Manchester United earlier because the management has terminated his contract with him and now Manchester United will be coached by Rúben Amorim.
Manchester United is in 14th place and has collected 11 points, that means there are still many opportunities for them to play much better so they can climb to the top 10 and slowly they will definitely show more positive results with the arrival of a new coach.

[asriloni]

I don't understand why the United management has been patient with Ten Hag for so long. Manchester United has a lot of problems and a change of manager will not solve all of them, but Ten Hag is the worst manager I have seen in the last years and his departure will bring Manchester United to a much better place. I am also looking forward to Ruud's performance as Manchester United head coach.

Way too fucking late, but it's something i have guessed it in the past. they seemed still optimistic about Ten Hag, so they kept him a bit longer. I think it was a fair call to see what he could do with some changes to the club and to fix the mediocre culture. But this season has shown that Ten Hag wasn't able to change, and so, he deserved to be sacked by the club. Hopefully, they get the right coach to replace him.

With this news, I think Ten Hag failed to coach Manchester United because looking at the statistics, the difference with the others is quite far, besides that with his own record in all competitions, he has a fairly good record in the EPL and FA but in Europe Manchester United can only win 9 matches out of 21 matches.

With the dismissal of Ten Hag, of course Manchester United must get a coach who is right for them, with several candidates who are likely to replace Ten Hag are Gareth Southgate, Xavi Hernandez, Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Frank, and Ruben Amorim.
Who knows who will coach Manchester United in the future, but what is clear is that they must get a coach who can make them better than they are now.

I also have the same opinion as you and it is absolutely true that if Manchester United fired Ten Hag at the start of the season then I also predicted that Manchester United would not fall this far and now Manchester United is in 14th place in the standings, of course this is not very good. but of course now Ten Hag is no longer coaching at Manchester United but of course now there is new hope for Manchester United even though of course it is not an easy thing for the new Manchester United coach to build Manchester United.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy is a temporary replacement for Erik ten Hag and of course for the next match we will see Ruud Van Nistelrooy's abilities whether there will be any changes in Manchester United's performance or not, but hopefully Ruud Van Nistelrooy can make Manchester United even better. Yes, we'll see in the upcoming match Manchester United will face Leicester in the League Cup.

Manchester United will certainly have the potential to look for a permanent coach for Manchester United and now many candidates have emerged who have the potential to become the new Manchester United coach. and honestly I hope Zidane or Xavi will become the new coach of Manchester United.

He has terrible record with Manchester United and if we count how much money he was given to spend for player transfers, his failure in Manchester United is clearer and more serious. Ten Hag succeeded to delay his sack by managing to win one or two matches after some bad matches, to give Manchester United owners kind of feeling that he will improve the team in future. Finally he failed and was sacked, and this decision is a good one from Manchester United owner.

With the dismissal of Ten Hag, of course Manchester United must get a coach who is right for them, with several candidates who are likely to replace Ten Hag are Gareth Southgate, Xavi Hernandez, Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Frank, and Ruben Amorim.
Who knows who will coach Manchester United in the future, but what is clear is that they must get a coach who can make them better than they are now.

Now, they are considering a new coach and they want to pay about $10M compensation fee to Sporting Lisbon by terminate the contract of this young coach with Sporting Lisbon. The club owners tend to make another mistake in finance and by hesitating to sack Ten Hag in the summer, then they can hire Tuchel as a free agent, now they are ready to pay 2 compensations to Ten Hag and Sporting Lisbon.

City are temporarily at the top of the league pending the outcome of today's star match between Arsenal and Liverpool. I also think the match will end in a draw because the last two games in the Premiership between both sides ended in a draw. A draw will favour Manchester City, but a loss for Liverpool will also be better for them.

Liverpool's draw against Arsenal puts Manchester City one point ahead of them so that Manchester City is currently leading the standings. The competition in the top three will be much more interesting because with a point difference that is not far away, it will provide opportunities for the three teams to shift positions in the standings. Manchester City is still very strong and Liverpool needs to work hard to make this season more proud for them.

I agree with you. Manchester United fired Ten Hag and now they are doing poorly ranked 14th. But Ten Hag leaving gives us new hope. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is now in charge temporarily. We are curious to see if Van Nistelrooy can improve Manchester United performance. Next match against Leicester in the League Cup will show Van Nistelrooy strategy. Manchester United needs a permanent coach. Zidane or Xavi would be great choices.

It surely took quite a long time for Manchester United to finally made the decision to replace Erik ten Hag as the manager after his disastrous management of the team. Despite having an abundant of time to fix the problems in the team, Erik ten Hag still failed in his job and Manchester United is even getting more worse every season in performance. Hopefully the incoming new manager for Manchester United will be able to fix the team problems within a short period of time and achieve some great winning result in order to bring the team out from the bottom half of the table.

Ten Hag's replacement is rumored to be Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim. He has a big job if he wants to go to coach United. I don't think he will rely on the current players in the squad, and some new players need to be brought in. It's the same as Ten Hag did when he came to United. Some players that he used to coach were finally brought to United and still couldn't improve the team's performance. United might experience a longer drama.

[el kaka22]

I can see why some people didn't think Rodri didn't deserve it. I mean Spain winning euro did play a huge role in this, there was a player that helped with Treble just a year ago and also a player who won Euro after a year, so while that was different years, it's obvious that City uses Rodri very importantly and he is a very crucial part of the team. But can you say he is a bigger part of the team than KDB?

I do not think so, de bruyne is bigger and more helpful than him in every category, and I believe Haaland is more important too. Rodroi not winning would have made sense. Not saying Vini was the one that should get it, it could have been Vini, Jude, even Carvajal, or KDB, or Haaland, who scored a lot, and I believe there were a few more, but my main candidate was definitely Martinez, he helped put Inter to a new level again.

[tusandii]

The managers that have been linked to Manchester United are all saying the same thing, that they are happy in their clubs. In an press interview yesterday, Brentford coach, Thomas Frank was asked about his links to Manchester United and his response was that he is very much happy at Brentford. Reading Rúben Amorim’s comments, it appears Manchester United will have to look for other options because both Thomas Frank and Rúben Amorim do not seem enthusiastic about leaving their current clubs.

This means that Manchester United will inevitably look for a manager who is without a club because so far the managers who are linked and still connected with the clubs they coach have no interest in leaving and they are comfortable at their respective clubs, there are many good managers who are still unemployed such as Xavi, Thomas Tuchel and Zinedin Zidane. The Manchester United club can choose one of them. In my opinion, they also have good abilities in managing a team.
But I just read someone's post that Ruben Amorim has agreed to be the coach of Man United this season so there is no need for any other talk about other managers because Man United has appointed this coach.

[dezoel]

Amorim to United is amazing, I can't believe that United finally got rid of Erik Ten Hag, I understand some United fans are mad that he was fired because they believe the problem isn't with the coach but with the players. Now we are going to see if they are right or wrong.

The rumour is that players end up playing great when a coach starts, so they look like the problem isn't with the players, they play amazingly and show the world that with a proper coach they are great, but then, when they are not happy with the coach anymore, they start to play badly and lose, sometimes even knowingly, so that the coach would be fired. They did this to many coaches before, and they claim now they did this to ETH as well, and will do it to Amorim if Amorim doesn't let players control the team. I believe this is going to be a tough job for Amorim to make the team not dislike him and get him fired, he needs success and if players row against him, then it will be a problem.

I also think the match will end in a draw because the last two games in the Premiership between both sides ended in a draw.

Liverpool's draw against Arsenal puts Manchester City one point ahead of them so that Manchester City is currently leading the standings. The competition in the top three will be much more interesting because with a point difference that is not far away, it will provide opportunities for the three teams to shift positions in the standings. Manchester City is still very strong and Liverpool needs to work hard to make this season more proud for them.

It seems that this season's competition will be a little different from the previous two seasons, Liverpool are starting to enter the favorite team to win the trophy based on their current position, they are also only one point behind Manchester City who are at the top of the standings. Arsenal are also still in the title race, but their performance is not as consistent as last season, they are also starting to fall 5 points behind Manchester City and 4 points behind Liverpool. Matchday 10 gives Manchester City an advantage to maintain their position as they face Bournemouth, while Liverpool face Brighton and Arsenal face a tough game at Newcastle.

Manchester City is still very strong and Liverpool needs to work hard to make this season more proud for them.

The draw between Liverpool and Arsenal is indeed an advantage for Manchester City. I think with this Manchester City will remain at the top of the Premier League standings. Because if you look at previous seasons, when Manchester City has topped the Premier League standings, it is usually very difficult for competing teams in positions 2 and 3 to shift them. That is why this season could happen again, because as we know Manchester City's performance so far has been quite extraordinary. So basically teams other than Arsenal and Liverpool will definitely have difficulty competing with Manchester City. That is why Manchester City will definitely still get full points in the remaining matches they are currently playing.

Maybe if Liverpool or Arsenal want to shift Manchester City's position at the top of the standings, the most realistic way might be to beat Manchester City when they face each other. Because if for example waiting for Manchester City to lose to shift their position at the top of the standings, I think that is quite difficult to happen. But even so, honestly I personally want to see a new champion in the Premier League this season. Because if Manchester City wins again this season, I think it can be said to be quite boring and feels ordinary. But if Arsenal or Liverpool can become champions in the English league this season, I think it will be a very extraordinary thing. Because both teams have not been champions in the English league for quite a long time. Especially Arsenal, Arsenal has not won the English league trophy for more than a decade. So I hope this season Liverpool or Arsenal are the ones who are able to become champions in the English league.

[Catenaccio]

The draw between Liverpool and Arsenal is indeed an advantage for Manchester City. I think with this Manchester City will remain at the top of the Premier League standings. Because if you look at previous seasons, when Manchester City has topped the Premier League standings, it is usually very difficult for competing teams in positions 2 and 3 to shift them.

Manchester City were champions of Premier League in five of last six seasons and they did it by having most earned points from avoiding losses in direct matches with title competitors, taking advantage of draw results in big clashes between other big clubs and dropped points of competitors to average and weak teams. Like in the match with Arsenal, Arsenal played impressively but they wasted opportunities to finalize the match and at very ending, Manchester City equalize the match result. Arsenal wasted chances to beat Liverpool and gave Manchester City another opportunity to beat them in a long season too.

That is why this season could happen again, because as we know Manchester City's performance so far has been quite extraordinary. So basically teams other than Arsenal and Liverpool will definitely have difficulty competing with Manchester City. That is why Manchester City will definitely still get full points in the remaining matches they are currently playing.

Both Liverpool and Arsenal will need to beat Manchester City in rest direct matches of the season and hope that the main competitor in Premier League will drop more points to weak teams after losing Rodri in this season by an ACL injury. It's one condition but both Arsenal and Liverpool have to improve themselves and try to earn more points too, and it's another condition for them to win Premier League title and break domination of Manchester City there.

Manchester United has a lot of problems and a change of manager will not solve all of them, but Ten Hag is the worst manager I have seen in the last years and his departure will bring Manchester United to a much better place. I am also looking forward to Ruud's performance as Manchester United head coach.

In my personal opinion, it seems that the club management gave Ten Hag time because he managed to win the FA Cup. There were many news and demands from fans to fire Ten Hag in the previous season. But surprisingly, Ten Hag managed to give United the FA Cup title and made them qualify for the UEL even though they were in 8th place in the standings. So the club management was still kind and patient and gave Ten Hag a chance to improve his performance this season. And unfortunately he failed to meet the club's expectations. United still gave Ten Hag a budget to shop for players but unfortunately the team's performance was still bad. I think this is not a late decision because they have only played in 9 matches. Hopefully Ruud van Nistelrooy can improve United's performance this season.

After a long wait for fans, Eric has now returned to his home country, the Netherlands, after the defeat against West Ham was his last night at Man United, but that's what happened to him, karma for throwing away important players at Man United last season, now karma for him to be thrown away, and I see the current Sporting Lisbon coach is the main view for Man United management in handling Man United, his name is Amorin, he has said yes to the Man United club to leave Sporting and Man United hijacked him and had to pay for it, and I think he is quite good at handling Sporting but there is no doubt for me that he will escape the next sacking at Man United because the pressure there is quite high and I ask that he can be mentally stronger in handling Man United.

Amorin himself once worked at Man United as Mourinho's assistant at that time and now they trust him as the next head coach to replace Ten Hag, hopefully the darkness at Man United will end soon after he comes.

Manchester United has actually been patient, but of course now Manchester United's patience has run out and it is now natural that Ten Hag has been fired by Manchester United. Hopefully Manchester United can soon get a new coach who can replace Ten Hag and what is certain is that now Manchester United is trying to find new coach.

and I read news on the internet that there are many candidates who have the potential to become the new Manchester United coach, including: Ruben, Amorim, Xavi,Zinedine Zidane, Graham Potter and Rood Van Nistelrooy

Yes, now Ten Hag is just a memory and of course Erik Ten Hag has given Manchester United sweet memories, such as having presented the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and of course I want to say goodbye to Ten Hag and of course I hope he has a better career elsewhere.
