⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Pokapoka124]

Tomorrow looks like their lucky day even though they are not having my full confidence for them securing victory.

United performance is highly unpredictable, always weak but can decide to change the settings on one fixture before going back to how bad they perform. Playing Brentford home only gives us the benefit of doubt this time, followed by the little break, i believe they will be stepping on with a better performance this time. With the level of superiority using the table, United might find it difficult winning them tomorrow.

This should be an easy win for Manchester United. They are the favourites to win. The odds are very high…too high considering the poor form of United. I would be disappointed but not surprised if Manchester United fail to secure all three points against Brentford. Erik Ten Hag says he is taking Manchester United to the promised land, this might as well be a good time to start.

The latest candidate is Vincenzo Montella, but reportedly United is also trying to get Zidane to coach them. I'm not sure if that can be done or not. but if United succeeds in getting Zidane, I think they have to be ready to make changes to the squad, which means there will be players coming and going. Zidane will definitely ask the club specifically to bring in some star players. I'm not so sure, but the chances are probably small that United will be coached by Zidane.

Zidane is unemployed now, and that possible he will come more closer to MU. but off corse he needs a freedom to make decisions to choose the player, I don't know if he have does it, because when we look how strange the owner in managing the club, maybe zidane will think it again to take a job. Dismisal Alex as ambassador and director is an example if the owner a bit heavy-handed in managing the club, maybe there will be the negotiations between zidane and the owner to make solution to do not interfere too much in team.

True, there will be many players will coming and going to MU because Zidane is have more priority to consolidation team than technic and skill.

Zidane is a very good coach to become a candidate, but indeed I am also doubtful whether he will return you from his current situation because it is a problem in the next season that makes some people feel that something is wrong with MU management, Zidane likes freedom in the selection of players and Firm in making a strategy, and I doubt that the club owner gives a flexibility to a coach, but if negotiations are successful with Zidane and he has the freedom in regulating the squad he will lead, I might say that Man United will return to get bright light.

Maybe Manchester United can win against Brentford although I think a draw is the more likely outcome. Odds of 1.73 show how confident the bookmakers are in making Manchester United the favourites to win, given Manchester United’s form, it’s a trap that could cost you your bet.
It’s one thing for a punter to win their bet because they chose 4.20 as the odds displayed.

Are sure that it will be an easy win for Manchester United just because of the odds? The bookmakers are always doing what will attract people to bet with them, they will put suitable odds based on their own analysis so as to bring people attention to bet with them, but if you will bet, I think you should also be considering the team’s performances not just the odd.

Let’s talk about the match now;
Manchester United will have the advantage of playing at home, that is why they will be considered as favorites to win this match not because of their last games performance because they couldn’t win any of their last five matches in all competitions; while Brentford this season without Ivan Toney have less hype and their performance dropped unlike last season, but they are still good and have some amazing wins in the Premier League this season.

In my opinion, Manchester United will start their revenge against Brentford because they have good winning record against them. I am in complete support of Manchester United, but in case Ten Hag made some funny errors, I will still expect Manchester United to with a point in the match.

Dismisal Alex as ambassador and director is an example if the owner a bit heavy-handed in managing the club, maybe there will be the negotiations between zidane and the owner to make solution to do not interfere too much in team.

True, there will be many players will coming and going to MU because Zidane is have more priority to consolidation team than technic and skill.

Will he be available for Man United? I used to read that Zidane didn't want to coach Man United, his target was to be with France. He wants to become the coach of the French National Team. Did he change his mind? Or is France still loyal to Didier Deschamps and he hasn't gotten his chance? 
I think Zidane is good with Real Madrid, but I don't think with Man United will be good without player adjustments. So I agree Zidane should be given the freedom to shop in order to get the ideal player he wants if he is with Man United.

I just heard this, is it true that Zidane is in negotiations with Man United, I can hardly imagine it because there are so many teams that want his services in my opinion, talking about Zidane's desire to train the French national team in my opinion it is quite difficult because Deschamps is also not too bad, and waiting is annoying, and friends it's just an initiation process from the Man United team, whether or not Zidane is interested in the French national team again depends on the answer later he accepts or not.

But I agree that Zidane's habit should be free to be able to choose the players he wants without exception if you want to see his ability to train the team to be strong.

As for Manchester United this week... It is really difficult to trust them with my bet first of all. They just can't score goals and I can't say they are good with defending either. 

Brentford are a much more productive team on the other hand. Yeah, maybe they are even worse in defense but their offense power might still be enough to steal points from their competitor.

Erik ten Hag is still in danger even though he isn't sacked yet. He can't win a game for weeks. If I bet on this game maybe my preference would be both teams to score other than a bet on the result.

One thing I think is going to happen in that Manchester United game against Brentford is seeing the game produce plenty of goals. Manchester United as we all know haven't been convincing this season but a mere look at the quality of players in the squad suggests that they're the better team when compared to Brentford while Brentford on the other will visit United with the intention scoring from every attacking move since the United defense have let in so many goals this season.
So for Erik ten Hag's men, I feel they'll get all three points from the game but I expect both teams to get find the back of the net.

I believe Sir Alex Ferguson is someone who did not really have any type of benefit right now for the team to be fair. I mean we are going to end up with a lot more trouble if we focus on this and that should not be a big trouble for the team to not have him because what did they gain from having him? Look at his afterwards period, I mean look at the current situation and look at what we are going to end up with since he left. His manager times were amazing and that is true and there is nothing wrong with the current situation.

However, we are going to end up with a lot more trouble if he stayed in this position, look at what we are doing at current moment and shouldn't really be looking at the current situation at the moment. I believe we are going to not see him have any help as the last 5-8 years and we are going to end up with a lot more trouble at the moment. The current situation isn't acceptable and we can't really consider this anything at all.

[Issa56]

I’m not going to lie, Nicolas Jackson’s performance improved after the criticisms from Mikel Obi. I think their agreement was “I score goals every week and you keep quiet about me” sort of thing. Jackson did shut Mikel Obi up for a little while but his performance has dropped again and as January window draws closer, talks of Chelsea needing a new striker are starting again. I believe Enzo Maresca is still interested in signing Victor Osimhen, the problem is will Chelsea be able to make an offer that will appeal to the player.

After Mikel Obi criticized Jackson, there was improvement in Jackson's performance for like three matches, he played well, scored goals, and made some assists, but currently his performance has dropped again. In the last two matches played by Chelsea, we can see that Jackson is back to his old self, we saw the amount of chances he wasted against Brighton. Chelsea would have scored more than 4 goals if Jackson didn’t waste all his chances. Chelsea really needs a striker that’s going to be consistent if they really want to achieve something, but if they want to maintain Jackson, they will always find it difficult to score in most of their matches, which will be affecting them.
 
I am really in support of Chelsea getting another striker, Jackson is not really enough because he is not consistent. Chelsea needs a talented striker, someone better than Jackson.

I agree that Zidane is good as a potential Manchester United coach in the coming seasons, but the problem is I really doubt he is interested in this team. All coaches who have managed Manchester United know exactly how much pressure a coach receives when coaching a team, not only the big expectations for titles, but there are many other things.

Manchester United's transfer approach so far is not really beneficial for the team, I mean they don't have any truly reliable players in their squad. Ten Hag was never able to solve the problem of this team's performance, in fact now I am considering leaving him instead of staying. The team's performance was ultimately getting worse and worse and it was becoming increasingly difficult to win games, he was really having a hard time finding a solution.

It's been recently reported that Manchester United co-owners INEOS have decided to end Sir Alex Ferguson's lucrative contract as the club's ambassador. In the report, the Scot will step down from his current role at the club at the end of the season. This new development have drawn different opinions from the public but some of the legends of the club aren't happy that Sir Alex Ferguson will be step down from his role with some believing that he deserves to remain as the club's ambassador till death because of what he achieved as the club's manager. Do you think this decision by the club executives are right or a wrong move?

He became one of the club's legends, whether he remains in his position as a club ambassador or not, all fans will still remember him as a legend and made this club experience its glory days, and he will also continue to support Manchester United even though he does not have any role in the club. Moreover, in my opinion, the position of club ambassador is not a very important thing or has the power to change the club, so this news will not make Manchester United worse or vice versa because their problems are how to change this team to be better not changing in the staff positions.

We don't know if Sir has a completely strong voice in the club, I honestly doubt it, I think that for me the only one who has a strong voice in the club is Ten Hag , I don't know why, but for me since that guy arrived at the club he destroyed it, for me he hasn't achieved anything, I don't know, I know that in the forum there are many defenders of him, but what is in front of him does not need glasses, the one who is responsible for all the mistakes of the club is him, he got rid of the best players, he left only those that he likes and I imagine that the players will be there because they still believe in the club, but I don't see that Sir with his forcefulness and his presence leaving is the best thing, for me this club is doing everything wrong , on the contrary , I don't know how to describe it.

This might just be a generous gift to gamblers by the bookies. Brentford is to me the favorite team to win in their match with Manchester United but seeing that they were given this big odd of 4.4 seems to me like a free gift because double chance is something I would say is high probability bet that will work if direct win by Brentford is considered a risky bet. Perhaps the bookies are thinking that Manchester United will start winning now that the issue of Ten Hag sacking have been laid to rest but I doubt there will be much difference now because until we see new signings in the team, I don't want to expect much from Manchester United.

This has made me confirm that most times bookmakers are confused and they will just makeup some odds to play with people sentiment and lead them to lose money. This could be a Saturday gift to gamblers and I am sure that many gamblers will take the risk to stake Brentford win.

However, we also need to understand that Manchester United coach's job is at stake no matter how he pretends that all is well. So, he must do everything in his power to win the match. That should be a very big factor for everyone to consider in that very match. I will advise we avoid that match in our slips.

Week 8 Premier League starting with derby london; Tottenham vs Westham. So when we look at the odds, Tottenham has a 65% chance, while Westham has a 17% chance to win at Tottenham's home. Westham got a big win when faced Ipswich last 2 weeks ago, with this winning fans hope they can get the maximum points when face Tottenham later tonight. while Tottenham has lost points when away on brighton home. they didn't get good results on the last match, but when playing in front of fans, they will fight to get maximal points to to improve their position on stand.

Anything chance can happen, when we look at that picture how good that Westham odds, right? that remain me in what happen on alaves vs valladolid last night, that maybe happen on this match also. don't hesitate to be different to bet westham.

Just having fun to bet Brenfort and Westham at the moment, I hope any miracle that makes all my bet right correctly

Why have you decided to be a nobhead? Why are you lazing around when you can just go on to the internet for information, and lastly, why are you spreading misinformation? Is is that you lack football knowledge or something? The images below will give you a brief of what Erik ten Hag did during his first season for Manchester United. You can also go educate yourself who lowered the standards of the club after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.

And please, pay attention to the records at home ( Old Trafford )

Zidane it's a very good coach, of course we can say that he's done that in real Madrid and performed well because of the quality players there, but I believe a good coach is a good coach anywhere any day, just that he would want to offload lots of the never do wells in the Manchester United squad like Rashford, Maguire and Lindelof or mandate them with trainings to improve their play pattern or face being offloaded from the squad. I believe if the team management would give him the free hand to build his team by himself. He can replicate what he did back then in Real Madrid.

It's also possible that he faces some initial issues with getting them to standard and might risk a few bad performances in order to get his craft right, but I think he can turn the tides of bad performances in Manchester United.

If we talk about Erik Ten Hag's chances to prove that he is still worthy of being maintained at Man United, it is true that this match should be a moment for him to immediately rise. However, so far, Man United's performance has not found its best performance since the beginning of the season. This can be seen from their position in the standings with eight points from seven matches and not only that, Man United is also one of the teams with the fewest goals in the EPL so far, of course this Man United team looks very bad.

So in my opinion Man United vs Brentford will be a tough match and will certainly face quite tough obstacles because Brentford is not a weak team, they are quite organized and have high spirits in every match so that the match against Brentford will be a difficult match for Man United. Although Man United is favored by all parties, even bookies, I am not sure they can win easily in this match. In fact, my prediction is that this match will end in a draw.

-snip-and which very funnily,  even Ten Hag doesn't have a solution to overcome this, so actually the source of the problems and jokes that occur at Manchester United is currently in Ten Hag, in my opinion  .

United do have problems with some injured players. Even Leny Yoro could not show his performance in the EPL after being injured at the beginning of the season. However, I think the biggest problem right now is Ten Hag and his decisions that have made United slump. So far Ten Hag has bought many players from the Netherlands and he seems to be trying to implement what he did when he was with Ajax. I mean Ten Hag does not have the creativity to make tactical variations in the EPL. Even though they managed to win the FA Cup, I think Manchester United should not be a team that is very proud just because of the FA Cup. They should be in the ranks of the title challengers or qualify for the UCL every season.

It's very obvious that the coach is beginning to lack ideas and ways to push the team forward but what I dislike about Ten Hag is that he keeps dwelling on his past success, whenever he speaks with the press he would always give excuses with reference to his previous success and trophies he's won, he should stop dwelling in the past, relax and think of solutions to his errors, people say Manchester United lack a good squad depth and that's why they're not successful yet in this current season but i don't think it's true though they might be facing tough challenges with injuries but I think Manchester United's team has a good squad but they lack good management, a manager with a good tactics that would bring out the best in them. It's not about winning the FA or Caraboa Cup, it's Manchester United not Tottenham or Arsenal and Manchester United is beyond that Standard what they need is competing well for titles like the Premier league and Champions league.

There are 7 matches today in the Premier League. The first match of the day will be between Tottenham and West Ham. Tottenham suffered a very unfortunate defeat last week away to Brighton. They led 0-2 at half-time that match. But they lost 3-2 that match. On the other hand, West Ham have only two wins this season in the Premier League. But one of them came last week when they beat Ispwich Town 4-1. Neither team has had balanced results in recent weeks. But I think Tottenham will be the favorites in this match.
