⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Issa56]

The need for goalkeeper has become a notice of importance to the club because this days is far disgraceful than what he was keeping before this time even the players are very disappointed because they cannot have an unreliable goalkeeper, Manchester United does not deserve this, if it was the former keeper who knows what they could have done already but this is the second season of this troubling, are there no second goalkeeper in the Manchester United?, they need to learn from Pep Guardiola on what he might think or do to stop this keeping errors, Newcastle United mesmerize Manchester United with 4.

Manchester United got humiliated today by Newcastle, am sure everyone will expect Newcastle to win the match, but I didn’t even expect them to score 4 goals in the match, Newcastle made Manchester United look like a weak team today, seriously Amorim is really having a lot’s to work on in the team, I don’t really know what’s wrong which Manchester United, how will a team like them be humiliated by Newcastle.

Everyone have been complaining about the errors which Onana has been making, but I feel Onana is even better than Bayindir which is Manchester United second goal keep, or I will say their is no difference between the two goalkeepers. Manchester United really needs to sign another player, they can’t depend on this two goalkeeper’s they are having.

From the way Manchester United are playing, I don’t even think they will be ending the season in top 10, Manchester United are just stuck at 14th position, that’s really a bad one for a team like Manchester United.

Huge and costly flop by Chelsea. They drew at home against one of the weakest teams in the league. But, considering they were down 0-2 after the first half, maybe they should be happy that at least they earned a point. As things are right now, they dropped to 6th place, so just outside the Champions League places.
I was sure Chelsea would win this one, as Ipswich is too far behind to avoid relegation, so they have nothing to play for. But maybe being relaxed and pressure-free was the key to their success.

Newcastle is not stopping, with an important 4-2 win over Man United. Sounds very impressive, but the last 2 goals were just handed to them on a silver platter by United's defence and goalkeeper.
Newcastle are playing an outstanding game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. A win will put them in third place at the expense of Nottm Forest.

Don't tell me United doesn't need to sign a new goalie. All of their goalie were awful to watch. The picture above is the moment when Bayindir did stupid mistake by passing to the opponent's attackers, then his club conceded 4th goal.

They have no good goalie available, and must be their top priority to sign a proper goalie. I'd also see a new goalie is far important than a new striker.  

In my opinion, the coach and the board should sell all the players and sign other players. It seems to me that these players have no motivation to play. The mistakes that the defense players make are disastrous, which means that the goalkeeper is seen as the only one to blame. All he has to do is make a mistake.

There is also nothing useful in the attack. Honestly, this entire Manchester United squad has no future. They need to be very brave and sell them all and spend money on good, cheap signings that are of quality.

I don't know if you're a Manchester United fan but if you're I'll say that you're just exaggerating due to the poor performance of the team, they’re  performaning poorly cause they lack quality players suitable for the coaches playing pattern and they clearly need an overhaul but not selling all the players, there are still some good players amongst the ones that are performing awfully and what the coach needs to do is separating the wolves from the sheeps, which is selling the ones performaning poorly. When I saw Lindelof and Amas then Eriksen in the starting lineup, I just knew there could be trouble and it happened as I expected, the problem of this team is not about the coach but the quality of players they sign, I just hope the board are taking note of their errors with signings so by summer they'll know how to fix it, Amorim needs quality players, give that to him and Manchester United would bounce back.

Newcastle are officially ahead of Manchester City in 4th place by 1 point. They even have a match in hand so it is such a great advantage there! 

Chelsea are again terrible so I don't think they can compete Newcastle and Manchester City in the CL race. They can't even beat Ipswich. 

Wouldn't be surprised if Aston Villa also get past them...

[Coyster]

Newcastle have a huge advantage in the race for top five, if they win their outstanding game, they move into third position, two points ahead of Nottingham Forest and four points ahead of Manchester City, and with how good Newcastle are playing, who is to say they would not finish third this season. City and Chelsea are so inconsistent, Aston Villa are also hot on their heels and any slip-up from City and Chelsea and the top five will include Newcastle, Forest and Villa.

Ideally, Arsenal are only 4 games away from winning the Champions League, which is still very much within reach

Arsenal is likely to face PSG at the semi finals, and it'll be their third time of reaching this stage in champions league. Arteta have to change history for the gunners, the last champions league final with Barcelona (2006) ended in a 2:1 defeat and since then Arsenal never came this close, except in 2009 their last semi final which was lost to Man U 4:1 defeat on aggregate. This season it'll be best if they play Barca at the final and defeat them, although the team require enough hard work to win these competent teams.

the last time I had to check the opta's simulation, Arsenal has a 27.8% chance of winning the champions league the season, I guess with an 56.7% chance of reaching  the finals, to me I guess if Real Madrid is in the quarter finals thier might face either PSG or Aston villa's I guess in the semifinals. The semifinals are scheduled for April 29-30 and may 6-7 with the final taking place on May31 in Muchi.

[MK-74]

Wolverhampton beat Tottenham 4-2 at home, Wolverhampton's rise continues. They have 1 draw and 4 wins in the last 5 games.

Liverpool are taking sure steps towards the championship and today they beat West Ham 2-1.
They increased the point difference with their closest rival to 13, they are now very close to declaring their championship.

Newcastle United beat M.United 4-1 at home and crushed M.United.

A 56.7% chance of reaching the final is acceptable, but the other 27.8% is not feasible. Arsenal won't back down or lose if they try very hard to play the finals. The gunners are not that simple, especially in a one in a million opportunity.

This was clear back in the days of Ten Hag, but nothing has changed and to be honest I'm starting to think it's not the coach's problem, it's the management's problem of giving too few opportunities to improve the squad. Yes there are transfers but they are mostly imaginary because as you rightly point out they need a new squad, not a few players. Moreover they have a lot of players who don't even make it into the matchday squad, what's the point of them?

Overhaul is a must. They can't really to compete with the same squad next season. They need to replace anything in the squad. Awful attack, no creative midfielders, inconsistent defenders, and garbage goalie. They have it all in the same squad, and may be finish the current season at 17th.

Other than it, they have also to replaced all of their component in the talent recruiter.

It's surprising to see Arsenal who managed to best Real Madrid 3-0 recently, played a draw against BRE in EPL. If Arsenal keep playing like that in rest of there 6 matches then they might not able to finish in top 4 teams of EPL. Nottingham forest also lost the moment, as they lost two of there last games played. Newcastle united with one more game to go has great chance of getting the third position. Nottingham Forest third position is under threat as City, Chelsea and Villa are just one win away from making it to third position also. 

The match against Brentford is just a formality for Arsenal because they have a much more important schedule in the second leg of the UCL. In my opinion, Arteta chose to play it safe in that match by rotating several positions and making important changes in the second half.
The fitness of the players to face Real Madrid is far more important than taking risks against Brentford.

[RaltcoinsB]

Let us assume that Arsenal's draw against Brentford was due to their next Champions League match against Real Madrid, but I do not see it as an excuse, if Arsenal is good enough to beat any club in the Premier League, they would defeat Brentford instead of a draw. Arsenal can still win the game and maintain their lead against Real Madrid, they have 3 goals lead, and while they have good defenders, they can only defend during the second leg.

However, Arsenal's Premier League position is not safe, they are 6 points ahead of Nottingham Forest, 7 points above Newcastle, and 8 points ahead of Manchester City. Anything can happen in football, and no one can predict what will happen in the remaining games. Arsenal must improve in league games because if they continue this way, they risk losing their position, a draw or a defeat will not help them qualify for the next Champions League.

I don't think it's right to think that they can't go to the Champions League every year. Because they will probably finish second in the Premier League. They are also doing very well in the Champions League right now and they will play a return match with Real Madrid this week. If they can defend well against Real Madrid, they will go to the semi-finals of the Champions League. If things go well in the semi-finals, they may even go to the final and become champions. They are playing very well in the Champions League this year.

Do you guys actually think that this current unorganized Manchester United stands a chance against Newcastle? when we start to analyze how awful they have been game after game, you cannot completely point at one area that is entirely the problem of the team that if worked on can change things for the better, today it is a coaching thing and the next day it becomes an attacking thing, the keeper is bad in the next match and then after that the defenders makes some really bad decision that ends up crumbling things down really bad. the truth is that the team has gotten to a stage where it needs to be overhauled if they are in any way hoping that things will change for the better. if you change only Onana and leave the rest of the team, things might remain the way they currently are.

Enough to see Tottenham in PL. They are crap as usual and nothing improved from their gameplay. Sometimes, i would like to see them relegated, then get replaced by leeds united. They're done now. 

Liverpool are taking sure steps towards the championship and today they beat West Ham 2-1.

I only congratulate Liverpool for winning the game as well as the league's trophy. There's no club that can catch him now. Champion of PL 24/25

They should have replaced Onan a long time ago, but he should not be replaced with a reserve goalkeeper who spent the entire season on the bench, or was injured, because this will definitely not change anything for the better. There are really a lot of problems in Manchester United, and the team with Amorim has become even worse than with ten Hag, this is obvious, even the conflicts with Rashford at the very beginning showed that there will be no sense in such an approach. And Newcastle is now in excellent shape, they can potentially bypass Nottingham, it will be deserved.

In EPL it's very much clear that Liverpool will take the season title but Arsenal need to be careful if they want to qualify for next UEFA Champions league because the gap between Arsenal and teams below is getting small. Draw against Brentford is an indication that Arsenal second tier players are good enough to tackle situation where main players are given rest.
Arsenal main focus now is champions league where they have done an excellent work in first leg and most likely they will qualify for the semi-finals.

I would understand your anger as a Manchester United Fan, but I can guarantee you that most of this players it’s really not their fault at some point we should also criticize the manager because his style of play doesn’t fit into the premier league. He should try to change his system so he can be able to play a good football. 3 at the back isn’t working in the premier league anymore. The recruitment board has not been very effective the players that Manchester United have at their disposal aren’t very good to play for Manchester United. The players currently in Manchester United that is exceptional is only Bruno Fernandez, and Diogo Dalot, The goalkeeper, Defense, Midfield, Attack is obviously not working, It will take Amorim like 4 window Summer to get his recruitment right, he will have to offload some players and bring in new once. And it’s going to be strategic and a lot of money.

The additional three points make Wolverhampton move further away from the relegation zone with 35 points, 14 points ahead of Ipswich Town who are currently in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Tottenham is sinking further down the standings, even worse than Manchester United. There is no hope for Tottenham to finish in a better position, if they fail in the Europa League, they will only compete in the domestic league next season.

Liverpool are taking sure steps towards the championship and today they beat West Ham 2-1.
They increased the point difference with their closest rival to 13, they are now very close to declaring their championship.

Liverpool are almost certain to be the Premier League champions this season after being 13 points ahead of Arsenal, they only need two more wins to secure the title, that is clearly not difficult for them.

Tottenham and M.United are really bad this year. If the 3 teams at the bottom of the league had points close to these two teams, maybe they would have been relegated this year. To be honest, I wouldn't be upset if they got relegated.

Liverpool are definitely the champions this year but we have to wait a few more weeks for it to be official.

We assumed Onana was Manchester United's only problem this season, we didn't realize they had one of the poorest goalkeepers. I was happy that Onana was not even on the bench against Newcastle due to the errors he made in the previous game against Lyon, and now it is Bayindir who we hoped may save us from Onana. He made a bad error that led them to concede their fourth goal, I'm not sure why he had to pass the ball when they had a terrible defense.

However, every position in Manchester United's team should be a priority next season, the defense is terrible, and the goalkeepers have failed to make key saves to keep a clean sheet. Newcastle was strong enough to beat Manchester United, but the goals they conceded were very much for the team, the most I expected Man United to concede against Newcastle was two goals since they were not utilizing Onana, who usually causes errors.
