⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Arne Slot is actually destroying Jurgen Klop's heritage instead of upgrading it. Liverpool has four games in a row without a win. The team from Merseyside missed a lot of goal opportunities against United. Salah didn't show the performance he's know for and Isak and Wirtz are a disappointment so far. Manchester United keeps playing like an outsider team. United managed to win against Liverpool, but I'm 80% sure that they are going to lose or end in a draw in their next match against Brighton. This victory against Liverpool is going to reassure Ratcliffe that Amorim should be trusted, which is bad for United in the long run. Everyone knows that Amorim will keep failing as a Manchester United manager.

Clubs go through hard times. Chelsea,  Manchester City, Manchester United and other clubs have recently had some poor runs. Why are you now concluding that Arne Slot is downgrading the former coach's achievements? He won the Premier League last season, and Liverpool were favourites to win the EPL because they topped the table at the group stage.  The coach needs all the respect because he won a trophy last season and upgraded the club's quality. Let's give him some time to amend the club's lapses.

We can't really say that, because in the previous season, they even managed to win the title after Jurgen Klopp left. However, I can't deny that Arne Slot's progress this season hasn't been noticeable, and the players he brought in haven't shown anything impressive.

He needs to focus on getting Liverpool back on track after four consecutive defeats. Reflecting on his success in previous seasons, he should be able to do the same now. But he needs to do it quickly before it's too late.

I still believe that Liverpool is definitely going to recover from their bad performance in this season the Manchester United winning is a wake up call for the Liverpool coach and as for how far he must put in his best to make sure those new players signed get to field and start delivering goals for the club, Liverpool players current performance in the premier League is not enough and for that reason there is need to motivate them and expect more striking and midfielder performance to strengthen their 18 lines to be able to deliver goals.

Well it too quick to judge Arne slot, but this is football and Liverpool is a big team so what do you expect, the critics have to come. Just the way we were very quick to give him credit of winning the league with Liverpool in his first season that the same way we will be to judge him the minute he don’t live to standards. You don’t expect a coach to lose four games in a row and expect everybody to keep shut. Technically we are all beginning to see that maybe slot is not that good as we all thought, his substitutions have no impact and even the line up needs to change too.

Well as for Manchester United I can say that we see improvement, they just need to try to build on that momentum now, they need to start winning series of game consecutively. When they play Brighton next weekend let see if they don’t drop points.

You are absolutely right, this club has won matches in its record, half of which have been lost and half have been won. That is why their performance is not so strong, but they try to play well in every team. When the coach has a better job, why would he do this because if he does not do this with his hard work and experience, the management will fire him, which will lead to his dismissal. The reason for this is their own players who are not playing well and are blaming the coach. All this happened because of their hard work and strength, if they had weakened themselves like these teams, we would have considered another team to be stronger and more successful in their place. If there is any mistake by the coach, he will correct it, but the players should also try their best to play well.

Manchester City is back on track and finished runner-up to Arsenal. Meanwhile, Liverpool has fallen to fourth place, and Manchester United has climbed to ninth after two consecutive wins.

Arsenal is currently sitting comfortably on top of the table with 3 points difference, and It will be very interesting to see if Arsenal will maintain this lead, because now is the best time they've got to continue accumulation of points and securing quite a good number of points if they're looking into winning their long overdue this season's premier league trophy. And they should learn from their previous seasons mistakes and sit tightly.

Yes, they're still 3 points behind Manchester City. Arsenal's next match against Manchester City will be in April 2026, after their September meeting ended in a draw. Now, we're just waiting for every match, and if they consistently win, they'll make mistakes again. However, it's still uncertain which club will be at the top of the table until the end and win the EPL.

One of the funny things in this match, about the fact, is about Harry Maguire vs. Isak. I found this on social media. In fact, in the league, Harry Maguire scored more goals than Isak, who is worth £125 million.

Source: Harry Maguire has scored more Premier League goals at Anfield this season than Liverpool's £125M summer signing Alexander Isak.

[Stormisover]

But let's try to be realistic here, we all believed Manchester United is not really good form but out of the 8 games played they've faced the top four EPL teams namely.
Liverpool
Chelsea
Manchester City
Arsenal
And they managed to beat Chelsea and Liverpool, and lost to Arsenal and Manchester City, and they're just 6 points away from Arsenal which are toping the table and 3 points away from Manchester City in second place 2 points away from Liverpool at therd place and one point away from Chelsea, and we believe them to be underdog this season while those that see themselves as the top teams have only faced either one or two teams and they are not much points away from them, so the fact is Manchester United is heading back to their winning ways.

If they tell me years ago, during Erik Ten Hag's era that I'll end up liking Harry Maguire in the future i won't had believed, Harry suddenly transformed into a better players he's now a fan favorite and has rescued the team on several occasions with header goals. Anyways I'm really impressed with the entire teams performance they did their best and it was good enough, atleast the formation too Slot by suprise cause he didn't expect that Amorim would play Dalot on the left wing and play Mason mount instead of Sesko, indeed Amorim is slowly cooking.

[Sandra_hakeem]

What a wonderful performance from man United as they defeated the premier League buffalos in the Anfield yesterday. I never thought that would be a better outcome for United as they've been struggling with their performances since the start of the season, but something is always different about them when they're made to compete against another big team in the league.

It seems like they don't always want to bow out for another big team to take the victory song, but can relent if it were a smaller team ( I don't know, just guessing). Mbuemo is becoming unapologetic with how he scores for the team, and I think that's exactly what United needed upfront. Congratulations for this top-notch win!

Firstly I don't think Arne Slot knows anything about tactics and I have just concluded that he is not a good manager. I have said thus time without number that he is just lucky to win the league last season. Manchester City had their worst season in recent years, Arsenal had so much injury issues, Chelsea and Manchester United has not been their best in recent years, so Liverpool had a free rid to the title and Salah was in the form of his life last season.
It's time for Slot to prove himself as a good manager,  but he just lost 3 straight premier league match and they are not in fourth position. I really see them losing more games and I can now boldly say they are not a contender for the title this season.

Manchester United might be trash at this moment, but they definitely were able to win against Liverpool. Also, I dont understand, Liverpool seems to be going through a rough patch. Lost three matches one after another. This definitely creates a big gap between Liverpool &  Arsenal at the top of the table. However, you know Arsenal is going to choke at the end anywhere so probably there is nothing to worry about them.

Also look who scored the winning goal of this match, Harry Maguire out of all people ! ! Goat of all goats 

I saw the coach of Manchester United actually being positive in one of the interviews recently. I hope they are actually going to find the positives that they are looking for and will actually perform well continuously. But honestly, the way Manchester United has performed in recent times it feels like a miracle, and upset to be exact..

Behind Manchester United's game which is considered impressive, it can make premier league commentators on Anfiled shout loudly using a special microphone with the phrase Harry Maguire it's another Maguire header! And Manchester United prize the lead back., I saw that Liverpool was not good in defense. It seems that the Liverpool captain is no longer strong as a defender who makes things difficult for players from the opposing team.

Manchester United are not giving in, but they are indeed inconsistent with their performance, but in the last two matches, Manchester United are starting to find what they should do to strengthen what they have lost so far.
Mbeumo immediately adapted well, but Amorim needed to do something about Sesko. If Sesko can do what Mbeumo did, Manchester United will really look crazy.

Let's really analyze this  playing eight matches, winning five and losing three, isn't really  a bad record for any club. Were we expecting Liverpool to have a completely smooth ride after winning last season's league title? I think things are still going reasonably well for the top four teams.

With the way this season is going, predicting outcomes of key matches isn't going to be easy at all. Besides, this same Liverpool defeated Arsenal this season, this shows there's still hope and quality in the squad to fight their way back to the top.

I was really suprised at Manchester United's performance I kept wondering what Amorim told those players that made them score so early, or is it because it a strong rivalry match? Anyway big ups to Amorim I love what he did against Liverpool, he took them by surprise and they never expected that United would be very composed at Anfield.

I know it's frustrating for fans to endure when the team they support is going through a difficult time but it's ridiculous to say Arne Slot is destroying Klopp achievements. Klopp himself left Liverpool because he was worn down and he couldn't rescue the team any longer. Premier league is one of the tough and competitive league in Europe that every new coach find it a bit hard to succeed in their first year. Arne Slot needs time to figure things out. Forget about the trophy he won last season, he's facing the reality currently. The management and the fans should give him that time. Moreover, Liverpool lost some brilliant players and they are yet to be replaced. They newly signed players need time too to blend. Again, we're still in the early stage of the season, I believe a lot can still happen and Liverpool is still in top four. I see no reason for unnecessary panicking at the moment.

[Velvet78]

After a really good start to the season, Tottenham are experiencing a sharp drop in form.  

I don't like them especially in defense. They are just giving too much space. Even in easy fixtures like Wolves and Leeds they couldn't keep any clean sheet. They even got a draw against Wolves home. Thomas Frank should focus on their defending more to fix things. I don't find them that bad in offense. They are one of high scorer teams in the league now. But this loss against Aston Villa home is highly unacceptable. I know Emery's team were on the rise but still this was a very tough game for them.

Manchester United are still unable to perform and achieve consistent results, but there is still hope for them to achieve the best results this season, considering that the season is still quite long. For the next few weeks, several big EPL teams, some of which are at the top of the table, will again be faced with a busy schedule as they have to return to play in the Champions League and other domestic competitions, including the FA Cup. This busy schedule could certainly affect their consistency in the English Premier League. Manchester United, who have placed their focus and high hopes on the English Premier League this season, should be able to take advantage of this situation to achieve the best results in every match and close the gap to move up the table.

Between Wirtz and Isak i feel like the money spend by the Liverpool team is one of the worst ever finance decissions a club ever made.
I know this can change and both of them maybe after i write this message starts to unfold a super football and break some records, but until now both of them are not close to what they expect from them, in the case of Wirtz is even worst, he is underperforming pretty bad.

Arne Slot is not properly managing the club as it stands. Florian Wirtz is one of my favorite player in Liverpool and I thought his move to join the Reds was going to be an incredible one but what happen? We watch him underperformed at Anfield. We need to know the crucial scenario the German found himself, he's new to the environment and it's going to take a while before he can adapt right? He played 10 games for Liverpool and have been unable to score or give an assist, what makes sense now? While Alexander Isak force his move to join Liverpool and have only recorded a goal for the club and this is notnangood record for him.

For now, you may be correct but it is too early to say this  because they have barely play up to 10 matches for Liverpool so there is still more time for them to show working and also prove themselves so don't be in a rush to conclude the money spent on them was a waste remember how Mbbape was fumbling when he first went to real Madrid, it took him a lot of time before he started doing well though Mbbape and Isak don't play same pattern of game but I believe he will do well later and again Liverpool is having a difficult time so only them can not fix anything.

[sana54210]

Honestly it was mostly being super unlucky and nothing else. I counted like 5 woodworks, they just got unlucky and maybe I have missed some others. Liverpool could have not only won this game but totally dominate it as well if they were a bit luckier, and sometimes football gods are not on your side. They have won the premier league title and then spent hundreds of millions of dollars, whatever demon they sold their soul to, has come to collect now .

But I bet this isn't going to continue, should we consider their title run being at risk? Absolutely, but I would not say it's gone. I am sure they are going to comeback and do a better job soon enough, we just need to make sure they are doing what they are suppose to do and keep going this way.
