Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027

[Oluwa-btc]

Everything about this United team is luck. Today’s match was a big game for United because it was Sir Alex Ferguson’s 40th anniversary. Also, a loss could have possibly be the straw that broke the camel’s back and finally get Carrick fired, so I expected the players go give their all for the club today and to be fair they did the best they could.

There's nothing to be said or written about Manchester United furthermore,  it is either the management leaves or the coach gets sacked, these are the two options we want.
A club like Manchester United should win all of their next ten fixtures, but look at them, all wacky and subpar. Michael Carrick should be sacked and a couple players leaving the club. We're due for a change and none between the current owners and Michael Carrick can give that to us. Hopefully our next match against Liverpool we get to be hammerd heavily.

What a match. Manchester United fans are having one hell of a season, just this past Wednesday they came back from an early two goal deficit to beat Roma in the Champions League.  Today, we saw a similar script from United, they conceded two goals in less than five minutes but somehow United managed to finish the game in a 4-4 draw.

So are Manchester united become better?

I guess so, because these score lines shows improvement on attack, or is it the defense of the both teams ? I can't really tell but we will need more games to know if the team has becomed better or not. Liverpool match will be a good conclusion for the teams performance.

I asked that question not too long ago. Imo Manchester United are not any better than they were previously, they have just been extremely lucky in the last two games. When you analyse their play style and the goals they scored, you can see that they have not done anything spectacular. So far, they have scored penalties and cheap goals. The club reminds me of my national team, their performance is so poor that their once proud fans have resorted to calculating points and goal difference of other relegation prone teams.

I'm left with no choice but to agree with you.  

A 4-4 draw isn't the problem at all now, how did they end up conceiving so much goals is what we should be worried about. The only reason they were able to make that late equalizer was because of Aston Villa's weak defensive style of play, otherwise a 2-4 would have ended it all.

Secondly, why do their attackers think it's wise to wait until the dying minutes before they shoot a counter for an equalizer goal? It's not a new pattern. Man United has always been known as a team who would prefer to conceive first before they equalize later.

No o, nothing should happen to Carrick, i want to see how far he can go with this squad and i think their major problems is how relaxed the players play when on the field, just a little observation from my end. I feel the players are relaxed and thats not a coaching problem but i will say they have management problem and thats why they keep getting players who do not match their playing style. Long story short, nothing should do Carrick as head coach for MAN U, at least till new year, let us enjoy small banter.

Actually they've improved their performance attacking wise but not in their midfield and defense, especially defense. They conceed goals in quick succession and that is a defensive problem. Their defensive line never learns, Aston Villa observed they take some time to get into the game and scored early goals in both halves.

It's quite impressive they were able to equalize all goals compared to previous times, naturally I already waved this match off as another loss on their home ground. Carrick needs to fix the defensive leak, it is what is telling more on the team

Isn't this asking of too much from the club or even a mountain of expectations, even Arsenal have not been able to get 10 successive wins in a row this season despite their great form, not to mention a struggling Manchester united team. Your emotions is really getting in the way of your expectations.

What annoys me most is how easily Manchester United keep conceding goals, coming back from two goals down to make it 2-2 should have been a turning point but they still went on to concede two more, how long are we going to keep having these defensive problems? Scoring goals is good but a club like Manchester United shouldn’t be this poor defensively. I’m honestly not impressed because this same issue keeps coming up and until they fix it, I don’t see any real improvement.

Manchester United is not mighty the way it was in the past. It is very surprising that I am seeing Manchester United in number 18 on the premier league which means it is in the relegation position. Out of 10 matches that have been played in this season, Manchester United only had 8 points. The club has become very worse than how it was worse before.

Their position is very bad, I thought we would see a lot of good things from them this season, not only from Manchester United but also from Chelsea this season, but Chelsea are in a good position, but Manchester United are in a bad position and if their current performance continues, they will definitely go to the bottom of the points table. They need to improve very soon, if they cannot improve themselves, they will surely gradually become like the teams at the bottom of the points table.

You are right. I have never noticed such a bad situation of Manchester United before. Where it has become difficult to draw them. Yesterday they did well in attacking but their defense played very badly. At last we have to be satisfied with the 4-4 draw. Now the main thing is that they have been able to score multiple goals in the last match. If the defense can be strengthened in the upcoming matches, then maybe we can see them win in the next matches. But if we hope for their maximum improvement in this season, then maybe they will win some matches and understand the mistakes of their team more accurately and then work to correct those mistakes. During this time we have seen many strong teams lose. But Manchester United has not been able to make much of a pretense of victory from the beginning. So if they can start their position by winning a match against a strong team like this then of course they can create a positive impact in the minds of their fans.

Manchester United's performance seems to be deteriorating day by day. I accept that they started the season badly, but since the start of the season, they have consistently performed poorly in every match they have played. Last night, Manchester United's performance against Aston Villa was really bad. I say bad because they conceded multiple goals in a short period of time, and the next two goals they conceded were two goals in a short period of time, meaning that once they conceded a goal, it didn't take long for them to concede the next goal. In the end, their attacks were successful in extra time, due to which they were able to add two more goals to the scoreboard in extra time and because of this, they at least got a point in this match. However, even though the match was drawn, the performance was not really satisfactory.

Manchester united are just unlucky and the level of hard luck they are facing defensively has even shown greatly in the way they conceded those two early goals in the first half and still repeated the same mess immediately the second half started. i mean, after recovering the 2 nil of the first half towards the end of the half, the last thing i expected was  throwing it all up immediately the game started. that was really insane and goes to show the height of the inconsistency in the way Manchester united are as a team.

I have not really been watching Manchester united game because of how boring their game can be most time but I managed to watch them yesterday and guess what? I discovered few things and  the first, is that they really need good defenders because you will agree with me that whenever their opponent crosses to their half it becomes hard for them to defend and also they lack proper and good positioning, an attacker will hold ball and will be waiting for a play to open however, this may seem to be common but it's not.

After leveling it to 2-2, you can see that they defended well until the penalty of McGinn destabilised them again. It's highly unfortunate what's happening in Man U now, and the last match has simply landed them in the relegation zone despite not losing it. A tie is not what Man U needed now, and that match that could deliver 8 goals in total, where they could equalize every bit of the goals of Aston Villa means that Man U has the fire in them but the players are not just using it. I will always say it about 75% of Man U's players should be discarded, otherwise, issues like this will continue. I guess no one would talk if they sack Carrick at this point, though I don't see him as the major problem, but things have gotten out of hand; they need a shaker.

I agree with you on this. Compared to some of their games I've watched, they were impressive in yesterday's game. They improved significantly in their attack—which was like their major problem to begin with. They do have a good mid-field if you ask me: Mainoo, Tielemans, Bruno, that's an impressive mid-field, no?

Seeing how they were able to convert their chances, that's a pretty impressive improvement.

I don’t think I agree with you saying Manchester United games are boring, not winning games is a far different thing from playing a boring game. When Manchester United play, we see goals, we see chances, we see moments. Just like yesterday when they played against villa, it was a 8 goals triller game, both team scoring 4 goals apiece.

With just getting a point against villa, Manchester United will head into the international break with them in the relegation zone. This is really a serious case at United, being in a relegation zone. I don’t think Carrick can do this job, well decision will be made about his future at the club this week.

You have made good observations and that is a problem that I don't see would change soon, because it has being this way since the start of the season and the defense is not getting any better. Manchester United match has never being boring, there is always something that attracts you to watching their game, either an unexpected comeback or a terrible loss but it's a whole lot of drama in-between.

Patrick Dorgu coming on changed the whole game and I'm happy that Dalot saw what a full back should be doing rather than making silly mistakes. Amad Diallo on the other hand is not who we used to know, and almost not a threat to defenders anymore, most players in United are below standard and that is a major problem for them.

[giammangiato]

Did they play Manchester city already? I thought it was Chelsea and Manchester United,  well I don't know and I'm too lazy to check. They won anyways, this one describes the Champions of the Premier League Competition for a reason. Pep Guardiola used whatever way he cam to win the Premier League, the same with Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho in the past. Nothing is wrong with Mikel Arteta doing the same thing.
Most disappointing although I expected was Manchester city, they also struggled during the midweek Champions league fixtures, I suspected Enzo Maresca would face the same fate against Glasner Oliver.

It was actually a translation error I was referring to the Hull City and Arsenal match, which I obviously lost my bet.
I didn't edit the message thinking I was convinced in the correct translation.
In any case, the Premiere League never disappoints, a lively championship and games worth watching.
Personally, it's been a losing week for my bets, but that's part of the game and part of the risk.
But I can say I enjoyed it in any case.

I falls into your shoes of losing interest towards their game your observations is not new the reason they lost 4:1 to como is not far from weak defense, imagine conceiving two goals at home in four minutes start of the game where team is full of energy, them yesterday equalizing the game making it a drawing seem to commend their efforts but not even worth commendable because they are having that opportunity as home advantage to even take the three point victory if they really know their stand, through out the beginning of this season watching man united team is more like watching porn mostly when you place them in your bet or slip, most of my Lost which I have encountered this season is directly coming from the team in ability to deliver expectations.

Just to be sure, when you say management, do you mean Carrick or the Glazers? Because if it’s the latter, I doubt that’s going to happen in the next 20 years.

A club like Manchester United should win all of their next ten fixtures

That’s bold. You guys are playing Liverpool next. How’s this United team supposed to win that game??

At this stage it seems that Manchester United's defensive weakness is not just a one-match problem. But I still want to consider a few things separately. They conceded 2 goals in the first 4 minutes against Aston Villa and then 2 more in just 7 minutes of the second half, leaving the fans in a worrying situation. I think the problem is not limited to the defenders at the start, but also the goalkeeper's decisions, the mutual understanding of the players and the lack of concentration when dealing with the opponent's attacks. When the first goal was scored, Goalkeeper Senne Lammens failed to stop the ball. During the second goal, the ball also came back from him and went to the feet of Nicolas Jackson. In the second half, Dalot committed a foul and then Goretzka scored after Leny Yoro's wrong header from the penalty spot. All in all, everyone lacked concentration. However, their attack was not bad. They took 26 shots in this match, 9 of which were on target.
