⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

It is really unbelievable! Leeds have come back from a 2-0 disadvantage and now the score is tied. What's happening to Manchester City in one of the easiest fixtures of the season?  

They just let their opponent come too easy. And what's up with Haaland today? Still no shots? I mean Guardiola even rotated the lineup against Leverkusen. But so far I don't see any sign of it. They are still struggling.

Laughable comment because there are no easy games in the Premier League Competition. I was wowed truthfully and how they the defender's skillfully held Erling Haaland during this game must be studied. The problem they was trying to settle for the draw result. If they had pushed for the final goal to take the lead, there's no way they wouldn't have won. He gambled the Bayern Leverkusen game and almost did same here.

In a fine style, Newcastle United are recording their first away win in a long long time. 4 goals to nil in the 58th minutes is crazy. I'd say shame on Manchester United for not beating Everton during their last fixture.

[Different patterns]

The first thing I can say about this game is that Guardiola should be thankful for Foden... He was the savior for his team with 2 goals today. Clearly the man of the match!

And he could have even scored more goals than that. It must have been a long time since a different player than Haaland made such a big impact for this team. 

When it comes to Haaland, there isn't much to say. Simply horrible. He could have still scored with a header in the last moments but it was saved.

Manchester City always struggle to achieve three point this season, they draw or lose that is why they are just doing this season Guadiola tactics is not more anymore both the league and the Champions League i don't really know what is happening to big club like Manchester City struggling to win matches. When I see Manchester City have score two goals i thought the Manchester City will secure the goal or add the m goals i didn't expect Leeds will perform much better in the second half if not for is key player foden the game can probably end up in draw games.

Arsenal and Chelsea are playing tomorrow and that will be the though match to watch this weekend in the Premier League we will see who will be favourite to achieve three point and Arsenal are topping the league already and they won't like to lose any point but Chelsea are playing at home and won't like to drop points but surly one most get the victory or they will end the game in a draw. Let see how the ame will ended, am just supporting Chelsea to defeat Arsenal tomorrow so that many fans will no that they are not only the best this season in the league.

Guardiola should just be grateful to Foden, if not for his massive contributions that match would have ended in draw or City would concede that game, I believe Manchester city can still come back to their normal form if only Guardiola can just go back to strategize and work more on his tactics. This is a big team,they ought not to be struggling at all matches like this
All finger crossed for tomorrow's match between Chelsea and Arsenal because the match will decide who will maintain the second Position on the table. Manchester city have 25 points with Chelsea having 23 points.  A win for chelsea tomorrow means Chelsea will be having points and Manchester city maintain their 25 points.
And tomorrow's match will be a tough one because Chelsea is at home,but anything can happen tomorrow. The first three team on the table just have to maintain winning every of their upcoming matches. I personally awaits the best magician between Arteta and maresca tomorrow.  Goodluck to both teams

It was a narrow escape for Manchester City as Leeds United showed class and composure in this game.If not of the penalty miss from leeds united Manchester City would have been fighting for a draw in this game, I don't know why Manchester City is struggling against even small teams because prior to this game everyone tipped city to  have a easy game but the opposite was what we saw today. Nice one from Leeds if they continue to play this way I see them getting some points from the big sides.

Leeds played excellently well and no one could have expected them to be this good against a big team like Manchester City. They just need to keep us this good performance and they’ll not get relegated by end of the season. Even with this good performance, they can at least get a spot in next season European competition. I was really amazed by their performance and a draw would also have become a well deserved win for them because they played quite well to achieve that result.

Oh Manchester City is really struggling this season the ups and downs are becoming a problem, I was thinking they’ll win today jus easily but Leeds proved to be stubborn, I almost thought it would end in a draw but Phil Foden came through for them. I think he’s getting back in form too, the whole Manchester team seems to have dipped in form and are just trying to stay afloat.

Kudos to their efforts, finally they got the desired and most important three points. Pep, his boys and all of City fans will be so much happy for this, I’m sure they never expected it.

Newcastle United is running rampage at Everton’s home…. What a night for the Magpies.

I think it’s obvious that Manchester City are struggling, the Manchester City that we know previously, will be beating Leeds United with a good margin of goals, but unfortunate I must say they’re not very much inform and now it’s seems like they are struggling to grind out results, I think if Arsenal are to win the Premier League this season, it wouldn’t be that they’re very good it will be that the rest of the teams in the Premier League are all shit, Liverpool is just a disaster that is waiting to explode, Manchester City are struggling to grind out results and Chelsea you can’t trust them because they’re not good enough to win the Premier League.

I’m very surprised with Newcastle Performance tonight, I’m watching the game and I’m very surprised how they are beating Everton with running a rampage at the Hill Dickinson stadium, I must say it’s a surprising result and a terrible performance for Everton.

Guardiola has ran out of strategy all his football tactics are not working perfectly as before, Man city is just struggling win match this season, with the way they are still playing i don't think they will come back to their previous form they have been struggling from the start of season it's just like Liverpool they can't achieve any thing. Man city only managed to win today match i will say they were lucky because they almost ended the match draw.
Arsenal is the only premier league club that is consistent and in a good form they will finish chelsea tomorrow if chelsea is not careful tomorrow the score line will be so embarrassing.

[Unsoldier]

Fun little fact from today. Foden scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season — in the 59th second — but his record didn’t last long. Just a couple of hours later, Newcastle defender Tchou beat it by scoring in the 52nd second against Everton. And it could’ve been broken even earlier: Elanga was close to scoring in the 20th second, but Pickford pushed it out for the corner that Newcastle scored from.

Sorry to ask is the thanks really that necessary? Like what ever thing he does there he did it out of his professionalism and that's what he's played for and again he actually did what he was there to do, fine he was superb in today's game and that was indeed impressive, on a norm Foden is a very good player so what he did today was not much a surprise to me but just like you said it's been a while a player had done this in that Manchester City team aside halaand and I believe this performance will boost their confidence the more, but pep really needs to work more on his team.

It was a narrow escape for Manchester City as Leeds United showed class and composure in this game.If not of the penalty miss from leeds united Manchester City would have been fighting for a draw in this game, I don't know why Manchester City is struggling against even small teams because prior to this game everyone tipped city to  have a easy game but the opposite was what we saw today. Nice one from Leeds if they continue to play this way I see them getting some points from the big sides.

Leeds performance was impressive in the match, scoring two goals in the second half of the match is what I never expected, I never believed they going to give Manchester city difficult time in the match, I was thinking the match was just going to be a easy one for Manchester city, but city struggled in the match, they were able to win the match by luck. I don’t really know how pep Guardiola is going to improve the team’s performance, but Manchester city performance is currently declining right now.

The team form has really declined alot ever since Rodris Acl  injury last season, the confidence of the team has dropped a lot that they find it hard to perform well against small teams.  And I don't even think their problems is from lack of players coz this season alone they signed good talents and yet they are still struggling. But the season is still long, so there is still time for improvement for them and their win today will put pressure on Arsenal tomorrow. Because if Man city can lock-in again, Arsenal won't taste the Epl, so they need to win Chelsea tomorrow to relieve the pressure a little.

Leeds had an impressive performance that I never expected from them. Also they had put up a surprisingly good fight in the second half of the game, threatening and for a moment, it seemed Leeds would successfully hold Man City to a draw. I thought Leeds had it in them to hold their own and score a 3rd goal themselves, riding the momentum they had managed to muster in the second half of the game as they managed to equalize scoring 2 goals.
They surely surprised lots of people with their performance cause i certainly didn't think the game would produce the number of goals it did. Overall, it was an interesting game.

It would have been a disaster for Manchester City if Phil Foden hadn't scored in the last minute. Leeds played really well in the second half. They may have lost this match, but their effort was excellent. This kept them in the race for the top spot. It's turning out to be one of the most exciting weeks in the Premier League.

Also in the current match, Fulham are leading 2-1 against Tottenham, and they scored in the first six minutes. Tottenham are fighting for a draw at home.

Newcastle, on the other hand, won their away game against Everton by scoring 4 goals. It was a fantastic match for them.

That is the right word for what happened to them tonight and that is "narrow escape". A lot of us had already concluded that the match was going to end in a draw but Manchester City were very courageous and optimistic till the last minute of the match which was why they got the winning. Leeds indeed surprised me because for them to equalize the two goals that Manchester City scored, it shows that they are bigger than we thought. I bet the match both teams to score, in a parlay where  added Barcelona and Juventus both teams to score as well.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Tottenham Hotspur continue with their inconsistent run, another loss at home, this time to yet another London neighbor, Fulham. The match has ended by 2 goals to 1 in favor of Fulham. These are the kind of games Spurs should be winning, and It's a real big mess in their camp. They are seated in the 10th place for now.
I don't know if Thomas Frank will hold on to his Job for long.

[Dr.Osh]

Everton suffered a heavy defeat at their home ground, they were not as strong as they were against Manchester United, Everton must try harder if they want to get into the top 5, moreover Everton still has hope to achieve it, and City almost lost in the second half, the game in the first half was very different in the second half City must correct their mistakes in order to catch up with Arsenal's points

[Issa56]

That is the right word for what happened to them tonight and that is "narrow escape".

It was really a narrow escape for Manchester city city in the match, if not for the goal scored by Foden during the additional time given in the match, then the match would have ended as a draw.

Am not happy with the way Manchester city played today, and as we can see there is a decline in Manchester city performance, Pep Guardiola has been trying to stabilize things, but I just feel like he isn’t getting things right yet, the strategy which he is trying to use isn’t working for him perfectly yet. It came as a suprise to me that Manchester city concede 2 goals in the second half against a team like Leeds, we all know if Manchester City have been in form, the match won’t be so difficult for them.

As I said before when Pep's strategy can be read perfectly by opponents, that can be seen in the second half, how Leeds created 2 goals, and made the city bewildered to score the winning goal. Luckily, Foden is playing well tonight, and it seems that situation make Haaland become irritable, maybe because Pep immediately changed the strategy to focus passing ball to Foden, And that minor dispute between Haaland and Pep is seen after the end of the match, Haaland is look dissatisfied with Pep's strategy. But I think Haaland have to agree with all situation because the city was get 3 points.

That is what makes them a big team the ability to work the magic when it matters the most, an average team would have draw that match but because it was Manchester city the individual brilliance of the quality players in there ranks made the difference,
I think Manchester city has a good team but they miss that brilliance and spectacular performance of Kelvin de Bruyne, that one moment that changes the cause of the game, they need a similar personality like that to stand up for the team and be the main man,

I think it was just luck, Manchester City did not play well in this match even though they were facing a weak team that was in the relegation zone but the performance shown by Manchester City seemed like they underestimated their opponent when they were ahead in the first half so that finally the Manchester City players' game could not develop anymore and fortunately there were goals in the final minutes of the match so that Manchester City got 3 points this week, if Manchester City continues to show this kind of performance then it seems like they have to forget about being able to win the title.
