⚽ Premier League 2026/2027 Discussion Thread ⚽

[Solodoski]

Chelsea are having a really successful period; commercially, the team is in a very good position right now and they are making money. Also, acquiring quality players at a low cost is always very valuable, and teams that can do this always come out on top.
I think it would be great if they also signed a striker; they need to score more goals during the season, and this situation is putting the team at risk

I think Chelsea is one of the best club when it comes to selling players. They have done a lot of good business in this transfer window and they have really made good profit, and I also agree that they have been able to bring in some quality players.
Talking about getting a new striker, I don't think they need any right now, because they already have Pedro and they javelin brought in Danny Welberg which I think is a very good deputy for Pedro. I watched their first match and I could see that they are very good going forward. I think they just need to work on their defense and they should be good to go for the season.

i was saying Chelsea could rival Arsenal for the title while teams like Man City, Liverpool and Man Utd are in decline.
but judging by the Fulham game, that's going to be tough with their current goalkeeper. also, Colwill looked like a massive liability in defense, in my opinion.

The fish half is over and Haaland goal separates both side as the first half ended 0-1 in favor of the visitors. Manchester City looks stronger than Crystal Palace in the first half and if they can continue with that pace, they will definitely win the game.

If Crystal Palace can come back better in the second half, they will have a better chance of getting an equalizer but they need to be able to outplay City  before they'll be able to achieve it.

The score is 2-0. Teams don't always perform as well as they'd like in the early league matches. Therefore, securing the three points is more important than playing well. Haaland and Cherki put City 2-0 up.

As I write this, Crystal Palace have scored, making it 2-1. From this point on, both teams will play more cautiously. City are playing away and shouldn't miss their chances. Just as I was about to send my comment, City made it 3-1. I think I should finish my comment now because there might be more goals

Tonight is a confirmation that Manchester City is not a team to underestimate this season. When everyone was expecting the team to be built around Samenyo and Haaland, we are seeing entirely different people doing the wonders. Tonight Cherki have scored twice in the 1:3 lead of Manchester City, although Haaland opened the scoring. There is no way Crystal Palace is going to salvage the game, so Manchester City is going to be sitting at the top of the league pending when Arsenal will play their match.

A good start for Manchester City in the second half as they continue to dominate the game, win possession and at the same time score more goals. Two goals in five minutes from Cherki shows that he's super hot tonight. He came from the bench and scored two goals. His second goal was an extraordinary one. What a great player.

I don't know how possible it would be for Palace to equalize all two goals when they couldn't score a perfect goal but an own goal from City goalie. I think City has gotten all three points in this game.

Phil Foden is having a great game, as he was fortunate to get two assist already to his name. Ryan Cherki with two goals tonight and the same for Erling Haaland the goal machine. My prediction for Semenyo to get a goal failed so far but was responsible for assisting the first goal. It is officially back to back wins for Manchester City under Enzo Maresca. Though they got thr win but their some visible errors which should be corrected during training sections. Crystal Palace are terrible and they could be the club to be relegated if the new guy do not start winning games.

Erling Haaland scored but he wasn't looking happy. He no longer celebrates passionately like he normally does. Could he be bored already with Pep Guardiola leaving? I won't be suprise if talks of joining a new club arises.

Not until when I saw the goal scores in Chelsea’s match against Luton Town, I forgot that they signed a new striker from Brighton just recently. I will say Joao Pedro is not enough to keep that team up in the striking role and he needed someone to help in that position. I don’t see Pedro as a natural striker, but he’s very good in that forward position and try to convert as many goals as he can when given the chance. He is one of the best signings of Chelsea’s and he’s still playing greatly. Danny Welbeck will really help in that position and I hope Chelsea will come out bigger at the end of the season with this squad they have assembled.

Everyone played really good in Man City and they really dominated Crystal Palace in this match. Haaland got his first two goals of the season and is showing why he is one of the best strikers in the world. Cherki is just a magician and he must play every game with how good he is creating chances and scoring,he really has a big impact on the team.

There’s no underrating this Manchester City team, their only competition right now is still Arsenal until any other premier league giant wakes up. They have a good squad of quality players and more to come. I think for all the Squad depth they have; Rayan Cherki is going to be the architect of this team. Everybody has their roles to play but when Cherki is on the pitch he’s the connecting dot between his teammates, the maestro and creator also a good finisher.

I think that no matter who’s coaching City when they finally get into gear they’re going to be unstoppable.

I don't like too much hype when the season is just getting started; we all know the capacity of Manchester City from before now when Pep Guardiola was in charge and the quality of players in there. Not much has changed as regards the players that moved out and the ones that came in too. Therefore, I would want to see their performances remain stable from now until around October-December of this year and how their form would remain then to actually discuss their potential of lifting the Premier League trophy. 🏆

City scored all five goals in their 4 goals to 1 win against Crystal Palace and the shocker for me is seeing Cherki scoring brace tonight,  I often consider him like the playmaker making incredible runs and chances but tonight he showed another class.

Crystal Palace are having a tough one now, two lost in a role now and their next game against Fulham might be the same case again.

Are you expecting Chelsea to run over Fulham and have it the easy way? Did you check their head to head game in the last 7 or 8 games, they have never for once let them rest. It's always struggle before they win. I am not satisfied with the way the game was played but 3 points is all you need to stay at the top of the league and that is what they did, any mistakes made on that day can be discussed after the game and then they can improve on it in other match.

Their second match of the season is EFL, I might not be happy with the Premier League match but I am more happy with how they played Luton Town. They finished match in that game, this same Luton Town are very sneaky, they know how to disgrace big teams and take advantage but they showd they were prepared. I hope they used Emiliano next in their match so we can see how the team double defend has been.

Haaland is known for his goal scoring ability, i see him winning the top goal scorer already in the league. When a team wins a game with more than 3 goals margin just know that every players in that team did well to get that score.

I was thinking Manchester City will find it hard winning games since Pep Guardiola is no more in the team but i was wrong, Crystal Palace that use to be a stubborn team i was even thinking they will make things not easy for Manchester City but instead they got humiliated by Manchester City, well the season is still very fresh let's just keep watching and see how everything will go, currently City seats top of the table at the main time.

Enzo Maresca is really proving his worth and with the way things is going he maybe the right replacement for pep Guardiola.
Cherki performance in today's match was indeed surprising. Scoring two goals in this match shows that cherki is a good player with lots of surprises and capability.
Crystal palace really start this season with a poor performance and they seems not to be in form this season. This could be the only reason why they lost two matches in a row, and the match between them and Fulham will be a great challenge to them.

[Stavri]

First games at the start of a season is where you begin to show prospect as one of the elite teams in the league. With Hull City being a newly promoted side, it doesn’t matter how good they performed in the championship.
Looking at the tempo Manchester United performed last season, it’s only right to expect them to win Hull city and most of all, their first game like we saw Arsenal made easy work of Coventry but, we didn’t see that.

First game really tells us alot about what a team is going to do in the league, as we say; “First impression is the Last impression” so if Man U or any other team come in blasting in the first matches of the season we can predict what team’s morale is in place and whichever team is a little off. But still a few games at start are too early to decide a winner, for a winner to be decided we have to let half the season pass in order to predict a winner.

Hull surrendered the ball to Manchester United but refused to let them progress smoothly through the center. Man. United’s center backs were granted time to pass, yet their creative players received the ball mostly with their backs to goal and their passing lanes smothered.
Hull, Brighton, Brentford and Arsenal are fundamentally different teams. Their squad depth, objectives, and tactical styles are far from identical but the success they found in the opening week was very similar. all four blocked the spaces where their opponents wanted to feel comfortable, forcing the play into alternate zones.

Not much has changed as regards the players that moved out and the ones that came in too. Therefore, I would want to see their performances remain stable from now until around October-December of this year and how their form would remain then to actually discuss their potential of lifting the Premier League trophy. 🏆

The only changes is the key players, the players Pep Guardiola relied on as play makers are gone, none of them remain in the team now, but he has signed their replacements before he left, their qualities is not up to that of the players that all left the club after he leave his coaching job, and I think more will follow if the team did not perform well this season.
Enzo Maresca will have to use every player he have in his team to compete for this title, football fans are expecting much from him because he replaced Pep Guardiola, if he didn’t do something similar or try to win title for the team, h has failed, therefore, he need to try his best to make the team great.

Manchester City's game tonight was quite impressive, I won't lie am one of the people that don't really expect much from Enzo meresca not because he is not good or anything but I just don't see him at the level of Pep Guardiola when it comes to tactical brilliance and extraordinary knowledge of football. Pep had good players no doubt and many of them have left the club but even still I just don't think it's because of the players because he has also signed good players to back his squad, but the trust almost everyone had guadiola will not be there.

[MK-74]

Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 4–1 away from home to make it two wins from two in the league.
They dominated the match and deserved the victory. This time, they didn't have to wait until the final minutes to secure the win and got the job done early.
For Crystal Palace, it was a terrible defeat. They conceded four goals in front of their home fans.

I think Chelsea is one of the best club when it comes to selling players. They have done a lot of good business in this transfer window and they have really made good profit, and I also agree that they have been able to bring in some quality players.
Talking about getting a new striker, I don't think they need any right now, because they already have Pedro and they javelin brought in Danny Welberg which I think is a very good deputy for Pedro. I watched their first match and I could see that they are very good going forward. I think they just need to work on their defense and they should be good to go for the season.

Not until when I saw the goal scores in Chelsea’s match against Luton Town, I forgot that they signed a new striker from Brighton just recently. I will say Joao Pedro is not enough to keep that team up in the striking role and he needed someone to help in that position.

He is one of the best signings of Chelsea’s and he’s still playing greatly. Danny Welbeck will really help in that position and I hope Chelsea will come out bigger at the end of the season with this squad they have assembled.

I don't think Danny Welbeck was signed because Joao Pedro is not enough for Chelsea, he's still the best among the strikers at Chelsea but he is no machine, he can't play all matches for Chelsea alone he will get tired at some point so that's the need of a back up striker and also in case of injuries you have someone to fill the space. Welbeck was signed for multiple purpose, he was signed to back up Pedro and also signed to add more experience and maturity to the team.

It doesn't matter if a player is a natural at the position they play, what matters is getting the job done and Pedro is doing a fantastic job. We've seen many players converted and still doing excellently. What impresses me most is that Joao Pedro knows how to take his chances and doesn't joke when given a goal scoring chance, he converts them. This is something Jackson and every other striker lacked.
