⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Abdulzuruku01]

That’s what everyone was thinking about the Manchester United, with the way their performances went well in most of their previous matches allot people’s thought about the game to be favor of the Manchester United, but West Ham in other hand also came prepared to secure a three if not be dying minutes goal that help Man United they could’ve conceded a goal.

Well I'm still impressed with Manch United performance as they fought to equalised the goal even at dying minutes, because West Ham really played a very good game. Just imagine Manchester United is still under Ruben Amorim with the kind of game West Ham played yesterday do you think they can equalise the match? I don't think so and I'm confident they could end up losing the three points to West Ham. But Michael Carrick is leading them well to the essence people are expecting Manchester United to win in every game now.

Liverpool finally scored after a long wait, Van Dijk was the hero for this narrow lead, but I was still very disappointed with Liverpool performance, which actually could have had more than that one goal. Several chances were not maximized properly, but it was also a bit fortunate because Sunderland played quite poorly today. However, with enough time remaining, the narrow score could have changed and Sunderland could have turned things around which I didn't want, Liverpool had to win, after all they were already quite far behind the top four.

Liverpool is not in good condition now that's why I don't feel disappoint about their performance anymore. They supposed win this game with many goals but they wasted the chances they had to scored, I don't even put hope that Liverpool would get the victory because honestly I was expecting draw in this game.

Samenyo really doing the most ever since he joined Manchester City and I know we can't compare him to Haaland because they play different positions, but boy Samenyo is a real baller ⚽⚽ but his brought some life into this team which looked like it run out of ideas 💡 . Can't believe we are about to forget about the like of Foden, Bernardo list goes on..

Inplay prediction Manchester City 7-0 Fulham

Yeah, since semenyo come to the team, he has been positive for them and he played a good role for them, he has solve that Wing problem them and the plus thing is that, he still contributes in times of goals for the club, so they won’t be relaying on Haaland alone which is good for the team. It’s a great thing that semenyo join Man city and proved himself that he belong to the team. I don’t know but with he’s form right now he might take Man city to some level because he bring positive energy to the team and make that wing function for the club with his little dribble and using his two legs to shoot from distance.

I can tell you that for now, according to the performances, Semenyo is the best signing in this transfer window, I know some matches he completely shuts down but I really enjoy his plays when he is active, the match has ended 3-0 with Semenyo scoring a goal and an assist.

With this win, the point gap between Arsenal and Man City is just 3 pending Arsenal's match against Brentford, has Man City entered with winning streak phase?

I watched the match between Manchester city and Fulham and Manchester city is performing very well. I enjoyed how Manchester city took possession of the ball throughout the game, if Manchester city continue with this kind of performance, they may actually have a chance to lift the Premier league title however I still want Arsenal to win there match tomorrow because I want Arsenal to lift the Premier league this season because they really deserve it. They have really tried for three seasons now and lifting the Premier league title this season would be something I really like them to do. I will watch Arsenal match tomorrow against Bradford. It will be an interesting match and I believe that Manchester city fans will like for Arsenal to lose the match, I pray it won’t happen

Liverpool is a very poor team, I’m disappointed with their performance, and they’re very lucky to have won the game, I was watching the game and I was like what is Arne Slot really doing with this players and what is he actually telling them, I had to turn off my TV because it was a horrible football to watch from Liverpool, Liverpool haven’t been playing any reasonable football this season, and this game against Sunderland just shows that Liverpool are very terrible with their performances, how can a team that spend so much amount in the transfer window be playing such a horrible football, they’re not creating any good chances, and they’re struggling to score goals against a small team like Sunderland, and they’re struggling goals they scored against Sunderland was just an own goal which means they were lucky to have won this game today, and if Liverpool doesn’t sack Arne Slot they will not qualify for the Champions League next season.

[Solodoski]

Sunderland are now beaten at Home. The home record for Sunderland has been broken by Liverpool today. Van djk claimed the goal today, out of mistake. Mo Salah missed a lot of chances today. In the meantime, my man of the match today should go to Florian Wirtz. He is the man that changed everything. He won most duels, gave true passes, and had few shots on target. Unfortunately, he was unable to score in the game. An unlucky fellow but he deserves to be named man of the match today.

This prove that their new manager is try his possibly best to make sure the team doesn’t lose their form unlike when Manchester United still under Ruben Amorim there’s not any change the team only keep damaging their best their form, but since when Michael Carrick take over Manchester United becoming a club.

Because if even obverse last time they face Arsenal if to say they where still under Ruben Amorim, i don’t think they can able to play with the way they put Arsenal in a big pressure that very day.

[Iroh]

Manchester United, who have had a few great matches under Carrick, surprisingly earned a point. I thought they would lose the match because they played far below their usual standards, or rather, their usual performances in recent games. The opponents deserved the win, but unfortunately they couldn't prevent Benjamin Sesko's goal and had to settle for a draw. Manchester United needs to find consistency now because they are a team in the Champions League race.

It was a tight one as Man united narrowly would have lost that game. I had really hoped Manchester united would have won that game and claimed the 3 points. They would have increased the gap between them and 4th place Chelsea while putting in more pressure in a renewed bid to try and catch up to Aston villa and overtake them on the table. Unfortunately, they couldn't win but I guess a draw is more welcomed than a loss. Thank the heavans for Śeśko's late goal that came in the nick of time. Although, I had wanted Man united to win, the outcome wasn't entirely surprising.
I hope they can pick off and continue in their winning ways.  They need all the points they can get

[Lida93]

For me the signs where already there that Frank sack was imminent due to how he has not being capable of meeting expectations of the board. This season Tottenham has won 7 games, with 8 draws and 11 losses in a total of 26 games played. That's really a bad record. Yet they seem to have a good record in the UCL but doing poorly in the EPL. Was it that Frank priority was in the UCL with little importance to EPL competition?

The loss to Newcastle was the straw that broke the camel's back. The fans have also become impatient as they were booing Thomas Frank during the game. Sitting sixteenth in the EPL table and five points above the relegation zone cannot be tolerated by a big club like Tottenham. He was given enough time to change the club but he failed to perform.  The focus of the club now should not be on how to avoid relegation because they are a deep shit.

If you could recall it was similar reason why the predecessor of Thomas Frank was sacked despite winning the Europa league for Tottenham Hotspur and finishing the team in 17th with just 38 points, now it seems as though Thomas was about to repeat same. What I strongly believe is that Tottenham would not delegate but they won't just play in Europe competitors next season because with the games left for this season there's no how they can climb up there to the top 4 even if they win all their remaining games.

Several matches with recently completed results:
Manchester City 3-0 Fulham
Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Wolverhampton
Crystal Palace 2-3 Burnley
Sunderland 0-1 Liverpool

With the wins for Manchester City and Aston Villa, their respective positions in the standings have accumulated 53 and 50 points. This brings the gap between them and Arsenal to 3 points (Manchester City) as Arsenal face Brentford tomorrow. If Arsenal fail to win, their assessment will be up to them.

Crystal Palace surprisingly lost to Burnley, who were playing at home.
Liverpool's narrow victory further overshadows Manchester United and Chelsea, who are now only 2 and 3 points apart.

[MK-74]

Manchester City secured a comfortable victory, beating Fulham 3-0. If Arsenal lose tomorrow, City will reduce the points gap to three, but Arsenal’s chances of losing seem very low.

In my opinion, Liverpool struggled against Sunderland and narrowly won the match 1-0. They earned an important three points and are trying to break into the top five, but their rivals are not dropping points either.

[el kaka22]

United really had a great chance, they could have done five wins in a row after MANY years of failing to do it, in fact four wins was great anyways. This could have put them at fourth place easily above Chelsea, now the gap is close, but if they won the gap would have been bigger and would give them a great chance. They at least got lucky that Chelsea failed to win a game that they almost won.

Not sure what we are going to see from United, they have been pretty decent, and if that goal was allowed they would have even won. Glad to see them get a tie at the last minute though, everyone keeps talking about how they failed to get the win, but they forget the fact that they almost lost the game instead of a draw, so that goal meant a lot.

In my opinion, Liverpool struggled against Sunderland and narrowly won the match 1-0. They earned an important three points and are trying to break into the top five, but their rivals are not dropping points either.

After easily victory against Fulham last night now Manchester City wish Brentford can defeating or holding draw Arsenal to make 3 points remaining if Arsenal get loss from Brentford. Arsenal chance for losing indeed very low but Brentford has good performance for this season and now raise 7th position with 3 points left from Liverpool at 6th place.

Last match, Liverpool back to winning trend performance again by defeating Sunderland 0-1 and become the first team success defeating Sunderland at home match. Now the top fourth standings position of premier league very interested has Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United fight for one slot left.

[Hypnotizer]

Liverpool and Sunderland are still having a goaless draw into the 56 minute of the game. Manchester City were able to win their game giving them three points needed to get closer to arsenal. Aston villa managed to score one goal because they really struggled to get it. Nottingham Forest couldn't even score a single goal, the game ended up as a draw and it was quite disappointing that they couldn't score.

Liverpool couldn’t score until the 61th minute when Van Dijk scored a header with an assist from Salah, they still won the match and secure the three points with that goal because they couldn’t score another goal till Full-time.

Manchester City are now three points behind Arsenal after that win against Fulham, Arsenal will play Brentford tonight and if they win that game the point difference between them and Manchester City will still remain six points..Arsenal needs to win games  consistently to solidify their stance in the title race.

Imagine a newly promoted team keep a home record in premier league, this show how weak this season is compared to other seasons. Liverpool narrowly won this game , they needed this win in other to fight for the top 4 positions. Now they have 42pt, so if they keep winning their remaining games they might surely qualify, It seems their next game is against Nottingham forest, so that should be an easy for them. Liverpool now should put their focus on how they are going to win the FA cup and Champions League, if not they will finish this season trophyless, which is bad for a team that spent hundreds of millions on players.

[SmartCharpa]

I don’t think the defense is the only problem of the Chelsea. The lack of the inconsistency is also part of their problem and that’s why their performances goes in that way, loot at their last game Leeds could you imagine that Chelsea was the one leading them by 2 goal; and instead of them to maintain their lead so that they can secure three points but unfortunately due to their inconsistency it was not possible that’s how Leeds United take lead the match to a drew.

Chelsea draw the match due to the weak defensive. Chelsea performance is not bad, but it is very difficult to win game when you can’t prevent your opponent from scoring goals. Chelsea went from two goals lead to draw the match. Chelsea performance is different under the new manager, they have been playing well, and winning the league games back to back, but the draw will not help them to secure the position among the top four teams.

That’s what everyone was thinking about the Manchester United, with the way their performances went well in most of their previous matches allot people’s thought about the game to be favor of the Manchester United, but West Ham in other hand also came prepared to secure a three if not be dying minutes goal that help Man United they could’ve conceded a goal.

I was not surprised that Manchester United was unable to get three points from visiting West Ham, Man United usually struggle to play at their stadium, the last time they played at Old Trafford was a draw, so I had the feeling that West Ham could stop Manchester United winning streaks. At least they draw to get a point, and maintain the one point lead over Chelsea.

[jostorres]

I was expecting Chelsea to win the game against Leeds United last night, but I was surprised by the way they drew the match and Palmer even missed a golden opportunity to win the game for them. I think Chelsea is not their yet, they are still very  inconsistent, they tend to drop points against teams that we all expect them to take all points and they just prove me right what I said at the beginning of thr season that Chelsea is not matured enough to compete for the league for now. I think they have a good coach and if they give him time at them club he can help then to start competing again.

They blew the chances they created which should have won them the game during the added minutes.

Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro had the game in their hands to decide how it ended, but they blew and missed clear cut chances. The Cole Palmer miss was the most surprising, the players himself was left stunned how he didn't have that ball at the back of the net. It should have been a good night to put some distance between themselves and Manchester United on the table. Leeds United will not be relegated if they continue same way every matchday.

The worst part is that, United finally failed to win a game after 4 wins in a row, and while Chelsea also had  wins in a row, it looked like it would be a possibility that they would end up with a good fifth win and get over United but Chelsea still failed. They were even ahead, so they had a chance to win, that last shot from Palmer could have put them at fourth spot but they failed. Now we have to wait and see how it goes, United and Chelsea both have some easy games ahead and a few difficult ones.

Was surprised by the changes Rosenoir made at halftime. He was too confident after going up 2:0.

This brings the gap between them and Arsenal to 3 points (Manchester City) as Arsenal face Brentford tomorrow. If Arsenal fail to win, their assessment will be up to them.

Arsenal will not give them any chance, but even with that, I don’t think the pressure that Arsenal are getting from Manchester City can be managed by them. Arsenal might take the game against Brentford too personally, and they might end up losing the game. If care is not taken, Manchester City will be able to overtake them, and they might end up as runners up again this season.

We all know how it has been for Arsenal for several seasons now, and everyone wants them to be the champions this season, but it’s becoming confusing as the pressure from Manchester City is getting higher.

Are you serious. If Liverpool likes let them focus on winning the Champions League, they wouldn't be able to win it. Do you think it's by name the Champions League is been won. You need to work for it and be outstanding in a good form than the rest clubs if not, you will see a club that will kick you out in the knockout stage.

Is it Liverpool that was struggling in their match against Sunderland that is capable of winning UCL. Their performance is like shit this season and if care is not taken, Liverpool wouldn't finish on top four in EPL. Liverpool was lucky that Sunderland missed their goal opportunities.

It's just like that, the game of football can be really difficult to predict, sometimes, it goes against our thoughts or mindset. Anyhows, they finally lost, but they have proven they are ready and strong to grow in the league, and am sure they have come to stay. It's nice when you see teams pull challenges and decide to stay, even when facing big teams, they don't relent.

For Liverpool, they have to be up and doing, else, they will drop. But of course, they will meet up considering there output now. If they continue like this, they will surely qualify for top 4

[Velvet78]

Thomas Frank: sacked

Sean Dyche: sacked

Who is next I wonder? 

But I understand both of these decisions. Thomas Frank should have even got sacked much earlier. Tottenham have looked horrible in the Premier League despite their look in the Champions League...

The same goes for Liverpool too. But Arne Slot still keeps his job. He is still inconsistent in the league. If he doesn't carry this team to top 4 then he will also say goodbye to his job probably.
