⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Cossyblack]

 I think you are the only one that see it that way, that game was a good and fear game to be honest,
The result flattered the opponent a little but Liverpool did well, like wish Manchester city who lost to Aston Villa the game is like but the result is not a full reflection of the game and the affect the player put into it.

I don’t know what your idea of a good game is but that was a definitely not a good game for Liverpool. Their backline was exposed and the attack was very poor.  With these kind of performances I don’t see Liverpool winning the league.

Liverpool squad and everything is fine, I don't think they have issue with anything as it stands now rather the only issue they have now is that, I think they lack cooperation and coordination because there is no player in Liverpool someone will tell me that is not good, all there players are good is just that they have not understand each other well. Imagine a good striker like Isak have not scored the least 5 goals, if at all he has even scored 2 or 3 that is to show that something is wrong not with the defense. The earlier  they put things together the better for them and this was how Real Madrid was doing  last season until they ended up not winning anything.

I was wondering if it is still Arne slot that won the premier League trophy last season is still the one losing 4 matches consecutively. Liverpool squad are entirely elite players with incredible skills but still, Liverpool have been unable to win matches. I really don't understand what's actually wrong with Liverpool right now, whether I should be blaming the coach or the players. With the money Liverpool have spent on signing new players like isak into the team, Liverpool should be doing better than this but unfortunately after spending so much money, they are still where they are today. However, I think Arne slot still has enough time to work things out with his players because this continuous losses wouldn't be tolerated.

[Africolo]

You're right time is needed for any coach to prove what he has inside of him, Manchester United is beginning to take shape that is because the coach was not sacked when results were not going their way.

I didn’t think you were a Manchester United fan, you guys are really coming out of the shadows now. Amorim is doing pretty good, he’s a big step up from Erik Ten Hag but just a few weeks ago Manchester United supporters were calling for him to get sacked. The victory buys him more time, his contract states that he must win a trophy. I’m curious how United owners will react if they don’t win silverware but the team has made significant progress. Would they be patient with Amorim?

Watch him lose back to back fixtures and you'd notice all of the United fans yelling him now would be back to their cages, call for his head. They only love him conditionally.

Only real fans stick to the team I. Difficult times, the plastic ones only show up when the team are winning.  

[Issa56]

Amorim continues to win, yeah. 3 wins in a row now... Can he make it 4 times in a row you think? The next game is an away one against Forest.

Let’s wait and see if Amorim will be able to make it 4 matches in a row. Actually I don’t really have confidence in Manchester United, just because Amorim has been able to win 3 matches in a row doesn’t mean Manchester United is back to form, I don’t still trust Amorim because he might still end up playing poorly soon, Amorim shouldn’t be hype yet just because he has been able to win 3 matches in a row, let’s just wait and see how he will be performing in coming matches, let’s see if Manchester United will continue with their good performance.

Since Nottingham forest are currently in terrible condition right now, Manchester United trying to get a win against Nottingham forest shouldn’t be what’s really going to be difficult for Manchester United.

This weekend was full of surprises and I can imagine a lot of coupons must have been ruined.

First, we had Chelsea getting beaten at home by Sunderland, a team that got promoted to the Premier League this season, so many expected them to fight against relegation rather than for the top 5 places. But Sunderland is doing surprisingly good and the victory over Chelsea helped them jump to 4th place.
Liverpool noted their 4th consecutive loss in the league and it was to a mediocre Brentford, making it clear that the previous losses were not just some unlucky incidents and that the team had hit some sort of crisis.
Man City, despite a somewhat dominant performance, suffered a defeat from Aston Villa after an early (and only) goal from AV's Matty Cash.

Out of the top clubs, Arsenal seems to be the only consistent team and they are on the right track to reach for the title for the first time in over 20 years.

Yes, I understand how you feel when we look at what happened on MU in the past. But considering the previous session he had conducted, MU should have won because Liverpool is a strong team, and they play away from Old Trafford, Nottingham is under terrible after change their coach. there is an adaptation process that Dyche must go through on the team. MU should take this advantage to achieve its winning streak; their enthusiasm must be the same like they beat Liverpool on Anfield. I know Mbeumo still not happy because MU's defense is not unexpected, Amorim already knew this, and most probably will fix it on next weeks.

It's still the same manager but a with some additional expensive players, maybe he thought he needed lots of cash to bring in expensive players that will continue the work and of course we all thought the same thing. I love Liverpool squad, but it's just that they have not yet gotten themselves and figuring out a way to use those players effectively, or maybe Liverpool is just deep in form naturally, because if it's playing and pressing, they are doing that just fine.

Several players have come and gone, and this is where the problem lies, causing Liverpool's decline.
Several signings haven't panned out, despite their impressive transfer fees, and their performances so far haven't fully adapted.
If asked what's lacking in Liverpool's current squad, I'd say the left-back position. Kerkez and Bradley haven't performed well in creating a sense of security in defense, creating gaps that opponents can exploit, and the effect is contagious to a number of other players, where there's a lack of teamwork.

[Alex077]

Premier League is always unpredictable and all the clubs usually do there best to challenge each other and that make it difficult to predict the winner every season. Manchester City lost against Aston Villa and I didn't expect that from Guadiola because I think they have pick there form this season and making it to chase the league title this time round but with the losing today have make arsenal give them more gap in the league table and making it difficult for them to top the league this season.

yeah me too,, Manchester City losing to Astro Villa is not what I expected from this match. I thought this was going to be a pretty easy win for Manchester City. Forget about being easy, they were not able to even Win. Martinez was actually really good in this match for Aston Villa. She made some really important saves in this match. One thing I noticed about him is the positioning from him is really good in general. There was one chance made by Manchester City where Erling Haaland actually got a good header but it was straight to Martinez. Of course he was also unable to generate enough power because the ball was looping and didn’t have that much pace behind it anyway. It definitely seems like Manchester City had a pretty rough start to the season. Hope they will be able to overcome this later.

Many didn't expect such a match, but football and sport generally surprise.
This is proof for all gamblers who say they have technique and skill in choosing a bet, where you think you are certain of victory in hand and in reality you get a big disappointment.
It happens that teams don't perform as we think, just as it happens that teams where we think are unable to win a match, instead they prove superior, never be too sure.

It's the Premier League and anything is possible, over there no team is to he underrated cause even the newly promoted Sunderland would eveb give you a big shock is you underrate them, moreover Manchester City have not been in their best form for a while, this is not the best of Pep Guardiola and I believe that somethings wrong since he's finding it tough to return the team to their best form, I expected Pep Guardiola to get better the more he stays in the Premier League but at this point I won't be suprised if he doesn't win any trophy again till he leaves Manchester City.

 Martinez is a very experienced keeper and he's come through for his team when he's mostly needed, his performance shouldn't be suprising to anyone who follows the Premier League on a regular and I think I'll be right to say that he's one ofvthe best keeper in the league, anyways I really do enjoy watch City at their best and I hope the find a way to bounce back to their best form.

The left defender not quite solid yet for Liverpool performance this season, I can't forget how good memorize when Liverpool have top left and right defender always solid at defense and never stopping created assists when offensive. Exactly Andrew Robertson have performed very well last several season but in this season loss regular position after Arne Slot playing Kerkez as left defender, I think another problem for Liverpool playing Cody Gakpo as ever as than try giving minute play for Federico Chiesa.
Have time for wake up with many matches left Arne Slot must playing top and consistent player for every crucial position, don't be afraid for putting at the bench top player such Salah, Van Dijk until Cody Gakpo if not performed consistent every match.

The unimaginable results experienced in the premier league last week I a clear indication that know game is sure in gambling, before it started all where confident enough to predict in favour of the big teams like Manchester city, liverpool and even chelsea without knowing such will happen after the game which ruined the bet of almost all gamblers.
Arsenal's consistent performance this season has opened the doors for all to believe this season could be the end of there trophy less era and could even extend there dreams to even become king of Europe this season.

Same here I was very surprised that Manchester City lost to Aston Villa, I predicted and bet on Manchester city to win the match because I believed they would win the match but they did not, it was a big surprise to me, when Aston Villa was winning with one goal I was thinking Manchester City we will come back and win the match all My Hope was lost, Manchester City is not inform as expected this season and I don't think they can lift the premier League title this season now is very good opportunity for Arsenal they should not joke with this opportunity this is their time and I believe if they putting more effort and become consistent they will lift the premier League title this season because there's no team as inform as them this season.
One problem of Manchester City is that they depend only on Haaland in other to score goals which is a very bad, what if Haaland has an injury today what will be the hope of Manchester City, the coach should do something about this full dependant on Haaland.

[SmartCharpa]

Amorim continues to win, yeah. 3 wins in a row now... Can he make it 4 times in a row you think? The next game is an away one against Forest.

Forest are still the same. The change to Sean Dyche hasn't made an immediate effect. I think they will struggle in this one too.

I'm thinking of a bet on Manchester United win. 2.15 looks just great! 

Manchester United has won 3 games in a row for the first time under Amorim as manager, we don't know what will happen in the next game against Nottingham Forest, who are in bad form right now. I expected them to do better in their last league game after defeating Porto in the Europa League, but they were unable to withstand the pressure from Bournemouth and lost the away match, the new manager did not look different from Arnge.

I think Amorim is going to win the next away game because Nottingham Forest current performance is no better than Brighton, which they defeated in their last game. The odds that the bookies give Manchester United are very safe to bet on, and I think I will also bet on Manchester United to win the match, I don't think the game will end with many goals, maybe 0-2 win for Man United.

Since Nottingham forest are currently in terrible condition right now, Manchester United trying to get a win against Nottingham forest shouldn’t be what’s really going to be difficult for Manchester United.

Due to winning a few consecutive matches in the Premier League, they have improved their points table considerably and are now at number 6 in the points table. Due to winning 3 consecutive matches, many people think that Manchester United may have returned to good performance, but this club's performance is irregular. They may have won three matches in a row, but it may also be that they lose five matches in a row. This club has enough problems, so it would be wrong to expect anything big from a team plagued by such problems.

Last season, I expected the title from them in the European League, but they disappointed in the final match. The previous season, expectations were high for them in the European League, but they disappointed the fans there too, so the fans do not expect much from this team now.

[Robinrex77]

Amorim has shown why he was the right manager for Manchester United to bring into the club. The team had lost their identity under the management of Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United look different now, even their post match press conferences are different. Amorim is a good manager who knows how to handle his players on the pitch and also deal with the pressure of when they underperform.

After Manchester United won three games in a row, we can now claim that Amorim is the best manager the team has hired since Ten Hag bad days.  To be honest, I didn't expect Manchester United to perform well against Brighton, I expected them to win, but not by scoring four goals, because I don't remember the last time Manchester United scored four goals and won a Premier League match. I think the club is in safe hands with Senne Lammens.

However, I believe that many people will still doubt Amorim, saying that it is only 3 wins and that they may not do well in their next game. We do not say Manchester United has returned to their best form, but it has been a long time since we have seen this club play this way in the Premier League, even though they performed well in the Europa League last season, they did not win the trophy, so let Manchester United fans enjoy this good moment of football.

 There is a feeling when things are going right for you and that is what the Manchester United players staff and choach is feeling, and winning three games in a row is awesome but the team needs to maintain the winning run, if the team finish in the champion league position win be a big plus to the team.
Chelsea and Manchester city need to step up there games if there have to continue to answer the name big team

Manchester United has won 3 games in a row for the first time under Amorim as manager, we don't know what will happen in the next game against Nottingham Forest, who are in bad form right now. I expected them to do better in their last league game after defeating Porto in the Europa League, but they were unable to withstand the pressure from Bournemouth and lost the away match, the new manager did not look different from Arnge.

I think Amorim is going to win the next away game because Nottingham Forest current performance is no better than Brighton, which they defeated in their last game. The odds that the bookies give Manchester United are very safe to bet on, and I think I will also bet on Manchester United to win the match, I don't think the game will end with many goals, maybe 0-2 win for Man United.

Sometimes I want to ask if there is really any such thing as safe odds? Maybe I am asking this because I seem not to understand how an odd can be safe, because from my understanding, when you bet on a team with supposedly safe odds, and such team end up losing the match to their opponent, you the bettor still end up losing your money, so how was the odd safe in this regard? Maybe I will have to create a new topic/thread on this to better sharpen my sport betting understanding..

Away from the above though, Manchester United have been performing incredibly well lately, and I won't be surprised if they manage to beat Nottingham forest in their coming encounter, but then, I won't be betting on this match any way since I am currently in a financial position where I can't afford to lose even a penny, so I will pass and wish you the best of luck on this one.

What is wrong with Liverpool? It's actually quite simple and can be seen clearly that Liverpool don't have the balance like last season, the factor of new players who were bought expensively actually performed below their standards, the expectations of expensive players became an endless illusion, therefore Arne Slot took excessive steps when shopping in the transfer market last season. In addition Arne inability to apply strategy is a factor in why Liverpool are so bad on every line.

Spending a lot of money is no guarantee of better performance, right? More often than not, it just messes up the existing balance.

[Marvelockg]

Kerkez and Bradley haven't performed well in creating a sense of security in defense, creating gaps that opponents can exploit, and the effect is contagious to a number of other players, where there's a lack of teamwork.

If you ask me, the defense is not all that bad only that things seems not to be working really well for them at the moment. One thing about Liverpool is that they always have a way of workings things out such that they easily find a way to come out of whatever shortcoming they finds themselves in.

As the season progresses, a lot of things are changing and for Liverpool, it's just their time to face the reality no team has it all figured out in the game of football. With all their spending, expectations is already high but even at that, the only way they can make do of all they have in the team is to fight through this hard time as a unit and never allow anything mar them even more.

[Nightwatchmare]

Nottingham Forest is sinking. They're just a relegation club at this moment. It seems worthy enough to bet straight win on MU considering the odds is very tempting. It's hard to refuse betting on them while it offers more than 2.00.

I ain't see Sean Dyche as a problem even when he makes his team gets a manager bounce. I believe it won't be worked against MU. I'm fully favoring MU to win it just the same like when they beat Brighton in the previuos game.

I'd call myself as a dumb guy by missing a chance to flip my money for more than 100% profit. It's ez money.

I'm quite surprised with Nottingham Forest performance this season because after they had a successful campaign in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Europa League, i didn't even imagine they'd be inconsistent this season. Yes, Nottingham Forest is sinking because even after they changed coaches twice their problem is still unsolved. I will not allow the odds the bookies gave Manchester United to scare me away from playing Manchester United to win Nottingham Forest, because with the current performance of Nottingham Forest, Manchester United will defeat them.
