⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Iroh]

Grimbys town loss is the reason why everyone already judged United and their entire season already. Losing to a league two team? I mean I am saying league two because that is their name, but in reality that is fourth division team, so they would need three title wins (or second place whatever playoff wins or something) to go to premier league, that's the difference.

And United lost to them and they have spent 200+ million on this summer. That is not acceptable, there should be such a vast gap that United should be able to win 5-0 and easily just go back home. It makes absolutely no sense that they lost, and also they had to climb back up too, they had a comeback in that game, they started out by losing early on. That's just pure disappointment.

Perhaps you're right. No one envisaged Manchester united losing to Grimsby town. I surely didn't. Manchester united ought to have been stronger than that Grimsby town and should have easily won that game. Following that dissapointing performance and ultimately a loss in that game, a lot of people have unsurprisingly judged Man United and have come to a hasty conclusion that they haven't improved in their performance despite spending some good money to bring in some new players.

I surely didn't see United go 2 goals down in the first half. Embarrassing performance from a supposedly top tier club

Nobody is discussing about the upcoming derby on this thread. Have we forgetting about the next match that United and City will be playing in Etihad stadium. Both teams are not in a good form but I believe that if United take this match very serious, they can win City and get all three points. They did it last season and can still replicate what they did last season in their next clash after the break.

City on the other hand has lost their last match and wouldn't want to lose to United. This will make them take the match personally because it will be a shame for them to lose at home.

It's been discussed in the other premier League thread, just check and you will see it. I feel it's a game that any team can win especially now that both of teams are not in form. Did you say it will be a shame for Manchester City to lose at the Etihad? Nope, I don't think so, that's why it's a game, you win some, you lose some.

Burnley vs Liverpool

Regarding the match above - I hope Liverpool maintain their consistency and win 3 points. We've already won 9 points in our first 3 games, including a 1-0 victory over Arsenal. The players' morale is excellent and I'm very optimistic about getting 3 more points, even though this is an away game. This game is expected to be easier than the one against Arsenal last week - but I don't want to underestimate Burnley, who have been a real nuisance for Manchester United in previous matches.

Both team’s performance hasn’t been good this season, but the two clubs are really goin to take the match serious. The match is going to be an interesting and tough one, if I will be predicting who will be winning the match, then I will be predicting Manchester city to get a win. I know the match wont be easy for them, because we all know how Manchester United are always playing well when it comes to playing against big teams, they are always serious and difficult to win, but when playing against weaker teams, there performance is just always poor.

I don't think Burnley has enough ability to match Liverpool's strength and play, so I think this will be a fairly easy match for Liverpool, even though Burnley will be playing at home. If Burnley can lose to United, let alone Liverpool, this could be a one-sided match, and the Reds will score many goals in this match, especially since Liverpool's front line will be reinforced by Isak. So I have no doubt that Liverpool will take home three points from Burnley.

What is quite interesting in the fourth week of the English Premier League is the meeting between The Sky Blues and The Red Devils, or better known as the Manchester derby. Even though both teams are not in their best form at the moment, this match is still quite interesting and cannot be missed.

Burnley this season have been pretty good in the English Premier League even when we know they're one of the newly promoted teams. I guess that's the reason some people are still giving them a chance to get a result against Liverpool but Liverpool on the other side is the only club that's won all their league games this season so against Burnley, I expect Arne Slot's men to get all three points. Not that I'm underestimating Burnley and their capabilities but the truth is I don't think they stand a chance to stop Liverpool from grabbing victory in that league fixture

Liverpool is somewhat guaranteed to win that game. They're in amazing form and like you noted, the morale of the players are really high. Looking at their opponent Burnley, I don't see that much of a challenge from them and it's very likely going to be an easy game for the defending champions.
They may have been a nuisance for Manchester united, I don't see them being that much of a problem in this case. I'm also optimistic of a  win and 3 points in the bag for Liverpool. I think we'll see both sides score a goal.

[TelolettOm]

At least, we need to know the results of these upcoming matches against Man City and Chelsea.

These two games will be a real test to ascertain if Manchester United is improving. Chelsea are unbeaten in three Premier League games, showing that it will be difficult to beat them. With the strength of the Chelsea attack, I don't expect the United defense to stop the Blues from scoring. They have had very poor goalkeeping recently with both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir making terrible mistakes. Maybe Senne Lammens might bring a better performance that will help them concede fewer goals.

Indeed, this is a huge challenge for Amorim, and now, we'll see exactly how Manchester United, who have spent around €250.70 million on new signings this transfer season, will perform. Whether it'll improve or just be average, is no small figure; it's quite a staggering amount, as is typical for Manchester United.

And their three top-priced players, each signed for over €70 million: Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha. I'm really curious about their performance. And Sesko, so far, has often been a substitute. And currently, his manager, Amorim, is still experimenting with his tactics, but this is already enough, and it's time for him to truly establish his top tactics and starting eleven.

Do you agree with this statement?

So far Liverpool won all the 3 match and have confidence to create the winning, but when I look at how narrow their victory was, that could be surprised made by Burnley because they have confidence to play at home. The supporter has an important role in holding back Liverpool. But, Liverpool are on the paper to get the winning because on the last 6 match, they have 5 won, and Burnley just have 1 the winning on Anfield. I predict Liverpool will win by a landslide, but it is not impossible Burnley made it draw when I look how they can win on Anfield on 2021 ago.

Liverpool are on fire and it's difficult for Burnley to stop Liverpool winning streak and get any points from the Kop. Liverpool can score goals by many situations with many players can score goals for them. They can win big or just minimally and it makes Liverpool more dangerous and fearful with many clubs in Premier League. They know that they have to play against a team that are capabale of dominating Premier League and also are very pragmatic on their ways of collecting points in order to achieve their ultimate purpose, defending their Premier League trophy.

They won those matches differently and it shows how they are able to use flexible tactics as well as have diversifying options for scoring goals and getting 3 points. They have enough star players who can replace each other well, support each other unitedly and maximize their performances in a team. They win as a team and any player in their club can become a hero in a single match for bringing a win and 3 points to their team. This operational style makes Liverpool stronger and more unpredictable as it's super hard to constrain all 10 players on the pitch.

Burnley won 1 of 3 games in Premier League this season than Liverpool keep unbeaten and become the only one premier league teams won 3 consecutives games. Burnley have confidence playing at home for getting three points how last victory from Sunderland at games week 2, indeed Liverpool still unbeaten with away match but not easly for defeating Burnley have capital defeating Sunderland over 3-0.

If can get victory against Burnley, Liverpool will create new record history success winning four consecutives games in premier league, based on current standings awhile only Liverpool and Chelsea still unbeaten yet. Lets waiting for the next games which one team can defend unbeaten record and until how many games week?

Yeah, everyone hopes Liverpool will maintain their points right now, they won't want to drop any points at the moment, but when we look at their last three Premier League matches, they won all of them narrowly. To me, the Premier League is still a big task ahead, all of the big teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all have equal chances to win the league from the look of it but still City performance need to be improve, except Manchester United, who I haven't seen any impact from that they want to compete for this. Even though Liverpool is a strong team this season, they still have a lot of work to do. Football is not determined by how a team starts the season, sometimes teams are lucky enough to win five or seven games in a row. But in the middle of the season or near the end of the league, they may start to drop point after point, which will makes them lose hope.

I don't bother myself with such comments anymore. It is clearly obvious he didn't watch the game and if he watched, he lacked proper knowledge of football to analyse and see the improvements. Finally, top four has been talked about and at the same time, finishing top 4 would be better for me. We have the depth, I just need these players to keep fit and work hard.

This is true that Manchester United is in their rebuild phase. No doubt they have the potential to do great. And the more they are greatly willing to perform better and want to go back in their glory era. But if someone is talking about their current situation and expect according to their position so I think it will not be negative it will be realistic. Because there is no magic that is ready to happen in the team. They can do better and they will . But let them give a space and their time to return in the field with their betterment. Because very firstly they need to restore the confidence as now there are many players who are not ready to join the club. So, things will happen in a row and they succeed in achieving the best.

Yeah Manchester United are in a rebuild phase and I believe they should give Amorim chance.
He should also play the players to their strength and not out of position to get the best out of them.

Burnley is struggling to get along with the teams in the league you can't take them as a good team when they have 3 points after playing 3 matches this season, they are the newly promoted and they are trying hard to see if they can survive in the league by not being relegated by the end of the season but against Liverpool they will only try to be stubborn but they can not stand the attack of Liverpool when all the players are feet and will be playing the game. Burnley can only try to defend in other to reduce the number of goals that will be scored but they can't stop Liverpool from bagging their 3 points.

Yeah Manchester United are in a rebuild phase and I believe they should give Amorim chance.
He should also play the players to their strength and not out of position to get the best out of them.

The Manchester United coach has already been given enough chance he signed in some players this season and he made those decisions by himself I'm from what I have seen those players are very good so I see no reason why they will still be losing matches and drawing matches the way they are doing, for me the coach is not doing very well and it is a very bad thing for Manchester United because if they continue like this the club may even go on relegation which will be a very bad thing, I was thinking Manchester United will even have the chance to lift the premier League title this season but I don't think that is possible anymore because of the way they are playing, if the coach don't perform well this season there is no reason keeping him for next season, Manchester United needs a very good coach and if Manchester United have a good coach they can use this present players to lift the premier League title.

Victory over Burnley is something that will be non-negotiable by Liverpool players. They need to gather all the a available points that they can right now,  so when the going gets tough, they won't feel it much. Their last game was not what was expected in terms of display but with Burnley, I'm sure they will give a spectacular show and win convincingly next week.

So far they have been playing well and the reason why it appears they are playing well is because of the team they have played with, I will love to see them play against club like, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal to see what they got this season and if they can be able to defeat these team then I will be convinced they are good as they said but until then I won't see them as something. Though football can be unpredictable at times but ordinarily I don't see Liverpool losing against Burnley that just came premier league this season and all these small team that are disturbing in premier league I just gave them some weeks they will find there places.

For liverpool to have escape from arsenal the previous Day I don't consider burnley being a threat to them I'm not underestimating them but that's just the real fact except they will have to manipulate the game as they used to. If not I don't see anything that would stop liverpool from securing this 3 points, surely Burley is indeed a nuisance for manchester united the previous Day and that is because manchester united gave them the opportunity to do so. As for liverpool there level of performance shows that they won't be giving them the opportunity to cause any nuisance.
