⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

The first half has been some sort of promising for the Chelsea side with the blues dominating most of the statistics including being up by a goal from E.Fernandez. I believe Estevao is a good player but he's still locked up in some level of childishness, he'll improve though with time. Chelsea controls the midfield in the first half and I hope to see better performances as the second half ensures. On the part of Brighton, I believe they must have restrategized for a comeback this second half meaning we've got plenty of good actions to watch. I still cannot believe Crystal Palace is winning Liverpool. Premier League is getting stronger everyday.

I'm now convinced that there is no hope for Manchester United this season because their problems are far from being over and it is looking like no one have a clue at what the solution should be. Although Brentford have been one of their greatest nightmare, I did not expect it to be this terrible that they will lose 3:1 to a team they ought to beat considering the players they have assembled this season. Let us see the motivational speech Ruben Amorim will drop for the fans tonight.

Manchester United is looking like they have not identified their problem yet because from their performance every week you could see that the team is not getting better they are struggling in everything and when you think they have finally identified their problems you see them becoming very bad in performance and conceding cheap goals every week, Brentford is not a bad team but how die Manchester United concede 2 goals in to the game yet the manager will still talk about building a team he's just confused cause it's looking like the best thing is to try another manager instead of giving Amorim time because he doesn't look like he has any plan for the team.

[Shineup]

Had it been it's possible teams like Manchester United should just go break in anything concerning football like that team is so annoying, just imagine after the shocker last week against Chelsea then lost 3 to 1 against Brentford that Chelsea draw with, like what's really happening in that team, believe Manchester United has got a team any experience coach will use to whoops people's ass but here they are struggling to win match, I think Ruben Amorin should just leave the club before things get worse, but the question is whose the next coach that can deliver this team from this days of agony, I really pity Manchester United fans.

The game is a must win for Chelsea in their today's game against Brighton else it will or may affect their chances and target of becoming the premier league champions this season if they continued in losing or dropping of points. Now is a very good time for any big team to start to accumulate points and not when the league has become very tough towards the league end when teams has started fighting for positions.

Aaand he's gone.
West Ham finally lost thir patience with their head coach, Graham Potter, and they sacked him. It shouldn't come as a surprise as he was rumoured to be on his way out for quite some time.

The reason for his dismissal, as stated by the club, are obvious - team's poor performance at the end of the previous season and in the current season.

West Ham are playing away against Everton tomorrow, and they are a big underdog.

[Abbatty]

Liverpool are handed their first defeat of the season and of course it comes from a very familiar team. Crystal place just know how to beat Liverpool, for the third time in a row Liverpool have failed to beat crystal palace in all competitions. The 100 percent start of the season have finally comes to and end. On the other hand crystal palace remains unbeaten and are only team in the league yet to be beaten.

Arsenal can surely make use of this Liverpool defeat, only, if only they can beat Newcastle at St. James park tomorrow. This is one of the reason you just have to love the premier league, it is very competitive. A win tomorrow for arsenal will close the gap to just 2 points.

Personally, I feel those players wants the manager sacked else I don't know why players of this quality would be manifesting such limited motivation in their play pattern, or are my to say that Amorim doesn't know how to keep these players motivated? Look at Rashford who was rejected by him how he's adapting and doing very well at Barcelona. I think all blames should go to the manager, that team is too big for him to handle. This isn't Sporting CP and Amorim has failed to understand that and make amends to his tactics to suite the league he's coaching now. I'll support he leaves since it's obvious he cannot provide Manchester United with the miracle they're looking for

If we want to go with this argument of the players trying to get the manager sacked, then how many managers do you thing will be enough for Manchester United to sack before they can be serious for once. Have you forgotten that other managers tried and still failed? The argument is too weak to convince me even though I still do not know what is the right thing for Manchester United to do to regain their enviable name. They should just continue work hard but try not to be relegated.

They almost walked away with a point but Palace hung on to get the winner. Salah again wasn't in the game from the start.

I think this is strange, does Man utd want to follow in the footsteps of Leverkusen when Ten Hag was fired because I heard it was related to the players, and for example Man utd did the same thing and boom they finally became a respected team again, I don't think it's that simple, besides I don't hear that Amorim has a problem with the current Man utd players, what I know is that Amorim applies a high level of discipline and that is also for their own good. Basically Man utd problem is very complicated, management must start looking at the small things outside the field such as staff performance, internal operations, and the overall structure behind the scenes. The focus should not only be on the head coach.

[JiiBs]

What goes around comes around don’t you think… Liverpool had started playing like Real Madrid of time past, where S. Ramos can just pop out of the blue with just the plus minutes on the clock and get a winning goal or equalizer for the team. We’ve seen Liverpool this season do this on several fixtures and they even attempted it today, loosing from the first half of the game only to equalize at the 87th minute of regular time.
Still, Crystal Palace was relentless and didn’t want to let Liverpool share points with them, with no time on the clock, Nketiah made sure Liverpool dropped point with his last minute goal.

[pawel7777]

As I said previously, Man United's manager, Ruben Amorim, said that the game against Brentford is a very important one, but his team failed a test and suffered a 3-1 defeat. That resulted in Brentford overtaking United in the table. United dropped to 14th place (and could drop further if Newcastle win their game). This will likely bring back speculation over Amorim's future in the club.

Another disappointment is Chelsea losing to Brighton 3-1. Chelsea took the lead early, but the red card for Chalobah messed things up for them, and they conceded 3 goals after that, two of them in the stoppage time.

A comfy win by the City, although the first half looked a little bit clumsy. They made some adjustments and scored 4 in the 2nd half, which temporarily puts them in 4th place.

I am surprised that you guys are saying that you cannot identify what Manchester United problem is. I mean, it is glaring obvious that Manchester United's problem for now is their coach - Reuben Amorim.
How he has stubbornly chosen to stick to his strange formation makes me wonder his fate in the Manchester United team. Although, he said he wants to spend upto 20 years in Manchester United, but I bet you that he will only decieve Manchester United management with that statement. He deserves to be sacked now so that Manchester United will be able to end the season in top 10.

Aaand he's gone.

At this point in time, I am afraid that Graham Potter's career is fast sinking. It is always good when a high level club sacks a coach because he will be hopeful that an average club will come for him. But if a club like Westham could sack him for poor performance, who will employ him then?
If he knew, he wouldn't have gone to Chelsea, all he needed was Brighton.

[Accardo]

No matter how you look at it, Chelsea defeat at Old Trafford left a deep wound, not only for the players but also for their fans, it was very disappointing. No one expected Manchester United to win this match. We know where the mistake was made, it was none other than one of Chelsea players receiving a red card early in the match, which caused Chelsea to lose. On the other hand, this was a golden opportunity for Manchester United to capitalize on the situation, and they proved successful by winning and securing three valuable points.

Chelsea had one narrative to change; equalizing that game. But, it was never made easy for them playing against 11 players on that condition. Nothing about the game turned out thrilling except for the Man U side who were winning. That was an opportunity they can't let slide, considering their position in the table.

[ITExpert]

Could this be the week Liverpool's winning streak to end?

This is what I'm wondering about their away game against Crystal Palace this Saturday. As a reminder, currently they are the only other team with no losses except Liverpool in the league so far...  

They have even conceded only 2 goals in 5 games. Their defenders are in a really good shape. I wonder what Arne Slot's plan will be to break their solid defense. I think Liverpool will lose points finally this week.

This season's matches are very interesting due to a great competition  between the teams. Everyone is in the race to win the league. And of course all times are trying to do their best in every possible way with the great support of their fans. Liverpool is a strong and good team and they are playing very well. Because the determination of Liverpool this time is very clear as they are more willing to win the season. Arsenal is also a good team with capable players. And the fans of every team eagerly wait to see their favourite teams in the success zone. But the results of the matches which are out in the form of draw leading them towards a new discussion and in fact in a new competition. But I personally think that things are getting more interesting as the level of curiosity has been increasing gradually.

[Woodie]

Today was one of those days that football fans from the so called big teams camp had a taste of defeat collectively!!

Manchester United lost as expected, Liverpool caught napping, Chelsea after leading conceded 3  goals 🥅, perhaps these midweek games all bad for a teams performance that gets to play 3 days later... Anyway we wait to see how Arsenal will play against Newcastle, Newcastle for the win.. anybody thinking like me

[Volgastallion]

Finally we saw this Liverpool losing.... theyw ere saved so many times in the last minute in this season, grabing points from nowhere, but this time it was their hour, they need to lose, and maybe is healthy for them, they can start to fix some very deep troubles on the team.

Congratulations on Cristal Palace side, they are doing super good.

Now a question, it really worth 130 millions Isak?

The defeat Liverpool suffered in the hands of crystal palace today have already been coming but no one seems to noticed that. Liverpool have been coming behind to win or draw in their last two or three premier league games and I knew a day like this will come. Liverpool is a good team no doubt but today I think the luck ran out of them, they managed to pull a goal back but crystal palace got the better end of it and scored a late goal to win the game 2:1.

As you can see in the picture. The same story for Chelsea is repeating in any game. Their defenders seem so stupid by always getting red card. It gets worsen when Maresca changed his scheme by putting all of defenders on the pitch, and let Joao Pedro played alone upfront. It seems to me they always looked like a finished club when they went down with only 10 men on the pitch, or maybe it's all due to the Maresca's bad subs. He always letting their opponent to control over the game by changing all of their forwards with defenders.

The way Liverpool won their games was already signaling to this. A team with a proper defending was going to upset them in the end. I'm not surprised with its being Crystal Palace considering their effort so far.

When it comes to Isak... This was his first long playing time. He played for 84 minutes but couldn't do much of a thing. But I think it is still early to be sure of him. He needs more chances to prove himself. But I don't know how things will go when Ekitiké comes back.

You must be very excited that Liverpool lost and that is a huge achievement to Arsenal because they have finally won the Premier League, Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the Premier League, I think Liverpool played a very good game of football, and football is played for 90 minutes and Crystal Palace scored in the extra-time, well Liverpool have done this so many time this seaon, If Liverpool had won this way it would’ve been a different statement from you, every team looses game, so there was nothing special Liverpool loosing today.

Isak have just played his second game in the Premier League, and his first start of the season and you’re already asking questions about his price tag, and what would you have suggested he would cost in the player of his caliber.

I was expecting you to say Congratulations to Arsenal instead of Crystal Palace.
