Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Republikcoin.com]

It is not as easy as it seems to fix this to become a reliable team, and Manchester United has optimized their abilities even though Onana was replaced with Bayindir but the quality that was expected has not been seen. and the players find it difficult with the formation that has been set, of course, this is something that needs to be discussed when making this decision.

Besides the formation, Amorim might need to try swapping some of the current players' positions in several areas so that they can see some changes in their squad. Almost everyone can't understand why Manchester United hasn't improved in terms of performance and play so far. It's a new season with several new players brought in, but there are still no significant changes in this team. And I even imagine Manchester United will be in a bad position again this season, or even worse than last season.

[irhact]

Amorim coaching system is flexible and easily predictable. His 3-4-3 formation is not working, making him fix his players in wrong positions. You'll have to have a defensive midfielder in the likes of Nkolo Kante for you to have a formation of that type working fine for you. Manchester United lacks such a good defensive midfielder at the moment. Considering what happened yesterday moral of the clubs fans who has been excusing R. Amorim for all what happened last season has been down for a fourth tier team to ridicule Manchester United.

Manchester United have Casemiro but I don't know why they don't use him very effectively at the club. The problem of Manchester United is all about the  way the club is being operated and not just about their players. Their pay structure is very high and this makes the players coming into the club become more interested in the money they're paying and not those trying to prove their worth to the club. Everyone at the club is acting like they're not concerned about the disaster happening. I think it's not just about changing coaches anymore but the owners of the club have to find a solution before things get out of hand. I won't be surprised to see Manchester United get relegated.

[Jatiluhung]

honestly and sincerely look, i think manchester united's problem goes beyond onana
It's been a really bad team for about 3 or 4 years, especially if we look at its glorious past history.
I don't understand why they don't understand that something is wrong and that we need to cut and rebuild and not patch things up.

Yeah you're right the problem is very huge that it goes beyond Onana and the players for real. For years now the team has been struggling even when the players they had was far better than this ones and still no changes. They had Pogba and even Ronaldo came but couldn't solve their problems that means the problem is not the players and it goes beyond them. Onana can't be blamed for the teams problem but he also contribute to it as he is not helping matters at all. His silly mistakes are what makes everyone thinks he is the teams problem  but I still don't think things will change easily if only Onana is replaced, things needs to be tackled from the root to get better.

It's clear the problem isn't with Onana or even the other players who have come and gone from this club. We can see that all the players who played poorly on this team have always performed well when they left.

Onana was a great goalkeeper at Inter Milan. But when he came to Manchester United, I was even more puzzled by why he made so many mistakes. Although sometimes the mistakes were made by the defenders. And before Onana, we know many also blamed Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper, De Gea, and assumed his abilities had declined. But I think the situation is similar to Onana's. De Gea was actually quite good at the time, but somehow, due to poor teamwork, the opposition's attacks easily penetrated Manchester United's defense, forcing De Gea to work harder and make even more mistakes. And now it's happening to Onana too.

So replacing players doesn't necessarily solve the problem. I think there's a problem we don't yet understand at this club. It's not just the players who seem to be struggling to perform at their best, but the new managers seem to be experiencing the same struggles as well. Only during the Ruud era did we see a revival in Manchester United. Unfortunately, that was short-lived last season.

[moneystery]

It's quite sad to see Manchester United fall into the same trap season after season. It seems like there's no improvement in performance, on the contrary, they are stagnating even with a good squad. I suppose their low scores in recent matches are understandable, but being eliminated so quickly by a League Two team is simply absurd. How can a team with a market value of around €3.6 million beat a club as big as Manchester United? Even one of United’s players is worth more than the entire opposing team.

It's no surprise, then, that Manchester United fans immediately called for Amorim to be sacked and for Onana to be relieved of his duties, as he simply doesn’t deserve to be at the club. but I think that there has to be something changed at Manchester United, it might be more than firing amorim and onana, something more fundamental, because Manchester United's problem is not just that, but the structure of the club as a whole.

Amorim for all what happened last season has been down for a fourth tier team to ridicule Manchester United.

I'm also aware about that. Amorim always keeps 343, which can't be implemented properly by his players. It's obvious his system doesn't work for his player. That makes me wonder whether he does an alternative plan for his club by try something different.

Plus it's not only about his formation, but his players look being so clueless on the pitch in offense and defense. that's something we keep seeing from his club since he came. Hope he aware he must adapt his players, and stop to force his club to follow his order when it's only isolated his team.

Manchester United is indeed facing a tough time. Since the departure of coach SAF, United's fortunes have changed drastically. Changing coaches seems to have lost their way and has not made United better, but worse. What's happening to United now was also experienced by Liverpool, who slumped for years, only they weren't widely ridiculed because social media wasn't as prevalent as it is today. But after several years, Liverpool recovered. Manchester United will be the same; they need time to recover. Manchester United's problem isn't the players or the coach, but rather a much bigger one their lost confidence.

Furthermore the club management lacks firmness and a serious desire to improve United. Many United players know they will never move to another club, and they continue to receive better salaries. This is one example of why Manchester United's game hasn't developed because there's no pressure to work hard they continue to receive their maximum salary no matter what.

Onana problem is actually a matter of his confidence which has been shattered since his time at Manchester United. To be honest, he didn't start his career at Manchester United well When he arrived the Manchester United defenders were slumping. He was also blamed and even jeered by most of the Manchester United fans who had been calling for him to be sold. Of course, this had an impact on the loss of confidence as had other players.

[Webetcoins]

United has to realize, just because manager is terrible, doesn't mean players are good. First of all, Onana should be waived, I do not even mean sold, if they can find any team that is willing to get him for free, then just give him away for free.

As long as he is not on your team and you are not paying his salary, that is a win, I think they should not be looking at even a single euro out of this. That dude, could be the very worst goalkeeper I have seen in my entire life, this isn't just about United anymore, yeah it's true that players that goes to United starts to play worse, there is truth to that, but THIS bad? That dude conceded so many penalties that went right through his hand, that makes no sense to me at all.

After 2 bad results in the Premier League and lose in the EFL Cup yesterday then I agree Amorim was fired, that's the first step to take because it is clearly unreasonable for Man United to be beaten by Grimsby teams playing outside the Premier League besides that, the defense line must be changed and there is still time to do it. Here we are not talking about Amorim abilities but maybe his playing style is not suitable for Man United or maybe there are some other factors.

Do you think Amorim should have finished his duties mid-season? while we see a risk that Man United will repeat the same record as last season for example outside the top 10 of the standings. I hope Amorim will get the answer next month after playing against Man City and Chelsea.

Here We Go’ Chelsea to Complete Signing of ‘Electric’ Attacker

Chelsea have made another move in this summer’s transfer window. Not happy with just Jamie Gittens, Estevao, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Jorrel Hato, they have continued adding to their growing rotation as they return to the Champions League. They have now reportedly managed to complete the signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United as Fabrizio Romano has given it the “here we go” treatment.

Garnacho joins a pretty stacked front line at Stamford Bridge. Currently, he’ll be competing with Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, and the aforementioned newcomers for game time. He adds another natural winger to the lineup after the departure of Noni Madueke and could be a safety blanket if Gittens takes time to adapt to the league.

Described as “electric“, the Argentine attacker has pretty obvious strengths as his ball carrying and ability to get space in the box are both admirable. Statistically, he provides something similar to Madeuke with the hope that a better system will take him up to a higher level.

I think it's been too long the problems of the Manchester United are not new. They are suffering from their worst time almost from three to four years. To finding the solutions of the problems will be easy if the problems are identified. Because without finding the problems no strategy or no solution will work. So for now the identification of the problems is more important then the solutions. As the time passed their problems are getting worse they are now in such a situation where the fact is purely true that their problems are beyond onana. So i personally think the goals of Manchester United should not about winning it should definitely the highlighting of problems which really helps them to improve in future.

[Adbitco]

Who still remembers the EPL Legendary commentator, in the person of Peter Drury? He once said this about Manchester United jokingly "Manchester united is the most consistent team, one win in August, one win in September, one win in October, one win in November and one win in December. its just like a menstrual cycle!! if they don't win in January know that they are pregnant". The month of August will end on Sunday and Manchester United has one more match to play, if they lose or draw it then lol.

That was a joke he made when making his random comments but it looks like it is happening in the club. The performance of the club is not encouraging fans any more. In last season it was said the coach and the coach was changed yet nothing good happened in the team and the fans said, the new coach has to understand the team members and it is from this season that the team will do well. But what they are showing here is not different from the last season performance.
Big question, who is not doing well in the team? The players or the coach again? I strongly believe the players and Ruben Amorim needs to bring in good strikers.
Chelsea was once like this but it is no more.

We know it was a thing he said as a joke that's why I added jokingly. Yeah, just like you said, that joke of his is actually coming into reality. Personally, I think Manchester United problems is beyond the coaches, because just imagine a coach like Mourinho finishing second with this Manchester United team and he said that was his biggest achievement. This is a coach that won the UCL with the FC Porto team, he clinched the treble with Inter Milan and also won Chelsea their EPL title after decades of not winning it.

I dont really know what to conclude in this Manchester United case anymore because the issues is now worst than the way it turned out. Since sir alex Ferguson left Manchester United the club haven't been the same anymore as they have struggled to replicate the same success but on each occasion nothing seems to be working out and this continues to worsen day by day.

[silpersurfer]

..............

I am quite sure that this season will certainly be a little different from last season, especially for Liverpool because seeing from what is happening now, of course we must be aware that the expectations of Liverpool now are much greater than before, especially in view of the trophy as a goal.

Last season there was indeed a trophy goal to be obtained but of course we are aware that the expectations previously had 2 sides just because of the new coach slot and by going to the extreme of doing several things including not bringing in any new players which made a level of pessimism arise. It's different this time because they are one of the clubs that are expected to have the same success as last season which did exceed expectations. So when there is even the slightest mistake including a performance that is not too good then surely this will trigger more attention in the end.

Surprises are always there every season and I'm certainly ready for this kind of condition.

With the improvements they have made in the transfer market this time, their target is not only to secure the English Premier League trophy again, but also to make an impressive comeback in the Champions League and reclaim the big-eared trophy. This season is an opportunity for English teams to win the Champions League, especially since they have six representatives playing in the Champions League this season.

Attention will always be focused on the big clubs, especially since Liverpool currently has a star-studded squad. We'll see what Arsenal does this season; they've started the season quite well, and hopefully their performance will remain consistent even when faced with a busy schedule.

Same thing here I don't really  know what is there problem but apparently the problem is coming from the coaching the more because the player Manchester have now and seeing they haven't win any match since the season started is really crazy and not encouraging. Secondly, the way things are going with Manchester united even if they did a total overhaul, nothing will still change unless the coach device or try a different thing and think outside box because it seems his thinking within the box, and so until he comes up with something new and strategic there won't be any progress and the team will continue to suffer it.

[BIT-BENDER]

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal on Sunday won't be the title decider but it will give us a closer look on which of them has really done a good job during the off season. Arsenal to me has been more convincing and they have faced a bigger team based on history in Manchester United than Liverpool who needed late goals to finish off Newcastle and Bournemouth.

[Jegileman]

Yeah you're right the problem is very huge that it goes beyond Onana and the players for real. For years now the team has been struggling even when the players they had was far better than this ones and still no changes. They had Pogba and even Ronaldo came but couldn't solve their problems that means the problem is not the players and it goes beyond them. Onana can't be blamed for the teams problem but he also contribute to it as he is not helping matters at all. His silly mistakes are what makes everyone thinks he is the teams problem  but I still don't think things will change easily if only Onana is replaced, things needs to be tackled from the root to get better.

How many more times will this team keep reiterating on the same thing and we can’t get to see any change? It bored the fans and even the management that despite many spending and changes in the club, nothing tangible has been able to come out from there. I know that the problem goes far beyond just one player to be blamed and if they keep putting blame games on just a few players, they may never improve even in many years from now on until they accept their individual and team mistake and work to play better as a team. They’ve spent quite enough and also made many changes that ought them to have been one of the best now. The new season isn’t smiling yet for them, I hope they get better with time.

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal on Sunday won't be the title decider but it will give us a closer look on which of them has really done a good job during the off season. Arsenal to me has been more convincing and they have faced a bigger team based on history in Manchester United than Liverpool who needed late goals to finish off Newcastle and Bournemouth.

I won’t classify Manchester United as a big team this season because they’ve been playing poor from last season which nothing has changed even in this season. Liverpool have kind of met bigger team challenge than them. I will not use any of their first two matches to judge them on how this game is going to be. Both of them look good and strong for this season and looks to be title contenders. Time will tell where each of them better situates as a team this season.

[Stable090]

United has to realize, just because manager is terrible, doesn't mean players are good. First of all, Onana should be waived, I do not even mean sold, if they can find any team that is willing to get him for free, then just give him away for free.

The main reason why everyone is blaming the coach is that, the coach is the one controlling the team, the coach is the one setting up formations, he is the one that make substitution in matches, and other  things, so before players will be criticized, then people will have to start with the coach.

Manchester United problem is not from the coach alone, but also the players also, Manchester United players are performing poorly, and am just surprise that even the new signings that Manchester United made, their performance also dropped drastically, thats just why it’s difficult to even figure out what Manchester United problem is. Onana is not a goalkeeper which Manchester United are suppose to keep, if they know what’s better for them, then they should just sign another goalkeeper and just forget about Onana.

Exactly You have a good point. Everyone will definitely blame the coach because is the one controlling the club and he have the right to remove any players that is not really performing well and bring the better once. So Manchester United problem is always the coach because if is not the coach the players should have do well. Any information or strategy that Amorim set, that is what the players will play. Manchester United perform very weak yesterday and fail to qualify to the next stage. Onana weak the players, since when they add the second goal. Amorim need to calm down and reason what is the main problem of the club because they buy key players but still they have not improved this season. They should go and focus on the Premier League to get the chance to qualify to ucl next season, and with how Manchester United are playing currently he can make the club probably go to relegation if they didn't improve in there patterns of playing.

What is really happening to this Manchester United team? Will I say it's a managerial issue or it the players fault, I just don't know what to think anymore concerning this very team. In the EFL cup Manchester United is 2 - 0 down at the moment to a League two side Grimsby. Is this not a shame, how's this even possible? Now they will start fighting for a comeback that's if they will even score a goal in the second half.

Seeing the goals conceded by Manchester United i think it's over for Onana, they are likely getting another goalie and Onana either way is being sold or left out.

This is the best for the club currently and sacking Amorim isn't a good idea, at least we can say they likely won't relegate with the kind of squad they have now which is better than last season own.

Seriously, I'm shot of words here and don't really know who or where to point fingers as regards the nonsense that's happening to Manchester United. Yes, Onana is something else but the two premier league games he didn't play, the club still didn't win any and he wasn't even in the lineup. So this is just beyond Onana been the problem. Just imagine, losing against a League two team, that's the height of this nonsense display from tis Manchester United side.

Don't bother much about Manchester united problems except you are a fan in order to keep sanity. Although as a United fan your sanity is a myth, 😄.

While United did perform below expectation against Fulham, Onana didn't change anything trying to get his position which i think he has lost now already.
