⚽ Premier League 2026/2027 Discussion Thread ⚽

[letteredhub]

It’s crazy to think what’s happening to Manchester United right now after getting pumped that they’re back and have found a savior and a new anchor last season. This season they’re just falling like a badly placed pack of cards.

All the games you predicted, from the look of things that’ll be the exact result in each one of this games. Michael Carrick Hero last season, Villain now. Some Manchester United fans say he’s not the problem so let them continue.

It was last season when Manchester United finished 4th place and the fans were boasting that that if Micheal Carrick had started that last season with the team it would have being that Manchester United would have won the EPL title for last season, and they spoke confidently about winning the league this current season.  Right now they all quiet after a heavy blow of streaks of back to back losses in all the competitions.

Maybe Carrick is the problem but not entirely what astonishes me is how he has lost form with same team his tactics was so great with as an interim manager. The club owners aren't exempted in the problem of the club as there are certain decisions they ain't leaving it to the coach of the team to make solely without them interfering. The return of Marcos Rashford is just one of those examples.

Most manchester united said this and with what Carrick did last season in manchester united i wouldn't blame any of their fans for saying all that because any team will do the same.

Michael Carrick came to manchester united when the team was struggling just as they are doing now and when Carrick came he made the team look unstoppable, they started winning games and made it to the top 3 in the league, any one will believe that manchester united is going to continue from it next season which is the season we are now, it still surprises me that manchester united is struggling this season to get a win.

Judging from Manchester United's performance last season in the leadership of Michael carrick one will say they will become champions of England this season. When he took over last season the team had an excellent and amazing performance in his tactical approach which was why all including me supported the motion they will win this year's english premier league but now it is clear that Manchester United is going know where this season that is if they survive without being relegated.
 Yes the management appears to be one of the problem of the team and until they stop interfering and allows to coach to have full decision in what he wants, it will be difficult to do well.

Huge game tomorrow at Anfield as Liverpool take on Arsenal. I’m sure everybody that is a neutral will look forward to watching it.

As a Liverpool fan I am feeling nervous, we are starting to click under Iraola but it will be a big test of where we are at the moment. Obviously Arsenal are expected to finish above us, Arteta has been there ages and he has a real settled style with players who know what he wants. Barcola, Isak and Rio can destroy any team though, I think we have a chance. If we can somehow win it would be a huge statement.

City lost to Brighton, it's much possible to see Arsenal losing to Liverpool tomorrow, or most likely Arteta going there to level up to the first position. Right now his hands are crossed thinking about his lean striking options, Saka injured and Downman suspended. Kai Herverz and Gyokores are his last choice for tomorrow's game. Remember the agony, Arsenal has never triumphed at Anfield since 2012.

Tomorrow we'd see a super attacking force from the dippers, Gakpo, Isak and Barcolla are getting along too well and the only way for Arsenal which they're sure of being better than Liverpool is defend, so the red's firepower will attack profusely. There're great chances of arsenal conceding more goals.

What a relief from Chelsea

It's a good one that they managed to win the match, but I would not say they performed well today, if not for a little brilliance Rogers used at that moment the odds of a goal from Chelsea would be very low except Estevao pulled up one of those his hangs successfully.

I must say Estevao is a better player than Neto, the way he finished that offside goal was Indeed world class and Neto had the same opportunity on the other side of the post and wasted it, if they give the boy more playing time he will definitely improve.

It was a game of 2 half, chelsea was in total control in that second half and if only they had converted the chances they created in the second half, they would have scored 4 or more goals. Morgan Rogers did well in that first goal but aside that the whole Chelsea team played well in that second half. The likes of lavia, Caicedo, Estevao and even Achempong all did well in that second half, for me I would give Lavia the man of the match today.

Well Estevao and Neto are both different players and posses different qualities. Neto help more in the defensive part a lot, but Estevao, he loves going forward and more direct on goal. With that performance today, Alonso will need to find way for him to be playing weeks in, weeks out. He can’t just sit the kid on the bench.

Manchester United is recording another worst record. It's just the same situation when they keep break more and more record when Amorim was there. It's likely they're battling for the relegation zone if their owner does nothing to save the club. Carrick is no longer reliable coach to handle the squad. They might only lost two goals, which should be three goals if Estevao's goal was not ruled out as offside. I'm wondering how long they will only wait and see their club keep decline even deeper. Meanwhile, Spurs is starting to bounce back.

It seems we have two clubs gets their fate exchanged. If Manchester United is still keeping Carrick until the middle of season, they clearly wanna be relegated instead of getting bounced, then going back up and save themselves from relegate to the Championship.
What about to relegate them and my club City due to the 115 charges at the same time? It sounds funny to see it happen.

I guess it's so hard to save Manchester United right now, though the chance is still there.



Look at this, Manchester United relegation odds has increased significantly, and they're is just near to City. 

[samadam007]

[No doubt, the red card contributed significantly to why they lost but, there was no winning for them in this game either. It certainly wasn’t going to be an easy game and Chelsea wasn’t going to lose to a Manchester United that isn’t in form this season at the Stamford Bridge. The M. Roger’s goal was one of the easiest in the world, not because it was just a tap in but, the fact that the defenders were rather watching than trying to stop him. Allowing him run all the way while they were expecting him to drop a pass and he never did, instead proceeded to take the ball himself once he was well within range.

I am even kind of a bit disappointed the way Chelsea was struggling to beat Man U today, because I was expecting like 5 goals from them, considering they had home advantage and the fact that Man U has been underperforming shamelessly lately. They should have just taken advantage of that, just the way Bournemouth and other teams did. Imagine Man U first goal wasn’t disallowed and that red card didn’t happen. it means Chelsea would have drew or maybe lost.

At this point I think man u relegating will make them sit up next season, because they’re a joke.

Manchester United have got themselves into a bad situation becouse stay fourth from bottom in the table is a disgrace for this team; it seems impossible that, with these players, they can’t do any better. In my opinion Carrick is a good manager, but then we should need to look into the players’ motivation, because they’re the ones taking to the pitch.
Carrick’s future seems to be in doubt, unfortunately; there’s talk of Howe and Nagelsmann, but I think that if Antonio Conte is available, he should be considered.

There're great chances of arsenal conceding more goals.

Liverpool have gradually been able to correct themselves, this moment is quite interesting for them. However, Liverpool can definitely win this match, Arsenal cannot rely only on their defensive department. To win this match, they will have to be more diligent, because it will be played at Liverpool's home ground, so this match will be more competitive. Liverpool have gradually been able to correct themselves and they are ready to succeed in any kind of attack later.

Andoni Iraola's Liverpool didn't start the season on a clean slate but lately, they've been getting good results. At the moment, they're still not considered as a strong contender for the English Premier League title this season but if they can be able to beat Arsenal tomorrow, they'll surely send a strong message to the rest of the teams in the English Premier League.

Arsenal are undoubtedly the most consistent English team this season but again Liverpool tomorrow, I expect them to drop points. It's a difficult game to predict but I'll be surprised if Arsenal wins that game.

It’s an interesting match, I’ll give Liverpool their flowers, they are starting to get a hold of things but I don’t see them winning this game, a draw at best. Arsenal is a well oiled machine from the players to the manager, aside from the previous loss before the international break, I haven’t seen them flinch, i want to see how they will perform this season against super teams like Barca and PSG, PSG is the current ceiling, let’s not forget that this team forced them to penalties last season in the champions league final, besides anfield is no longer what it used to be, the fear factor had dialed down I’m just hoping for a good game cause I find arsenal matches very boring to watch.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Oh no he delivered nothing!, he was beaten red and blue the colours of the day. His problems and that of Manchester United continues to get worse.

It’s going to take Manchester United a longer time to stabilise than we expected, all the hopes of their fans once again shattered.
Honestly I never expected them to defeat Chelsea today because they had been way worse than Chelsea.

What I can say is that things are getting complicated for Carrick, and it's a shame because he doesn't deserve it. He's a great coach, but nothing is working out for him. Honestly, that red card they gave the player was the final straw that broke the team. Their level dropped significantly. Carrick took risks, didn't set up the defensive line as it should have been, and they conceded goals.

That's football. I did think they could win, but the second half was nothing like the first half I saw.

Munich has always gone through this kind of crisis, only this one has become much more entrenched, and they can't seem to get out of this hole they're in.

I won’t say that i was disappointed because if you observe statistically, Chelsea have always had tough time defeating Man united, regardless of wether Man U is not in form they always either play draw with Chelsea or win Chelsea, this is the first time in a long while that Chelsea is defeating Man united comfortably and i must commend Xabi and his boys for this wonderful performance, some of us ain’t interested in the goal difference, what we want is for a team to secure their 3 points, meanwhile on the other hand, i don’t know what the owners of Man U are waiting for because with this defeat, it is clear that the players want Carrick out, that is why they are losing back to back,

Carrick is more qualified as an assistant coach, he is not yet qualified to be a head coach. The match against Chelsea was another mental trauma and humiliation for Carrick. I don't expect anything from this team anymore.

The club's board of directors took a risk by appointing Carrick and they are suffering the consequences as their form is gradually declining and there is a lack of confidence among the players.

Manchester United tried to maintain their position in the first half but were defeated by Chelsea's attacking and dynamic football and conceded two goals.

Maybe Carrick is the problem but not entirely what astonishes me is how he has lost form with same team his tactics was so great with as an interim manager. The club owners aren't exempted in the problem of the club as there are certain decisions they ain't leaving it to the coach of the team to make solely without them interfering. The return of Marcos Rashford is just one of those examples.

I am a Juventus fan and I can see many similarities with Manchester United because, as fans, I'm sure we are wondering the same thing: what the hell is going on. In my opinion one of the main reasons - besides the messy management - is that the clubs are losing their identities: too many foreigners who have no attachment at all at the team and the country, they just care about the money they are going to get at the end of the month. Juventus always provided a lot of players to the national team and so did Manchester United, now both teams are filled with foreigners.

We both share the same sentiment regarding Manchester united poorly form. I personally think that Michael Carrick will win the premier league this current season because of his brilliancy and finishing in the top 4th last season, But I'm confused now because the same team he used last season is the exact same team that are performing poorly.

What do you want the red devils to do, they should start crying or what? I think the board members has nothing to do with their current predicament, i think the players should be blame entirely for this poorly performance because the exact same tactics Michael carrick used in finishing in the top 4 last season is what he is currently using.  So the players knows exactly what they are doing.

If we look at the current position, there is not much difference between the two teams, both teams are in good form and if there is a lot of difference at the present time, then this game will be held at Liverpool's home ground. So the possibility of Liverpool winning may be more because weak teams are able to win against the strongest teams at home. Liverpool's performance is improving but Arsenal is still wrongly dragging itself. So if we consider this situation, Liverpool is ahead by a small margin between the two teams, so we think we should bet on Liverpool.
Because Liverpool is gradually moving up the points table this season, they are also able to win against strong teams.

It is difficult to predict which team will win both of them are still in good form, while currently Liverpool are favored to play at Anfield which should be able to win the same as against Brighton, other teams Man City can not even win.

Looks like the bookies are favoring Arsenal with odds @2.42 --- Liverpool @2.92 that shouldn't be a problem we are sure the home team can provide a tight match, if they win then Iraola has succeeded in bringing this club.

Observing at some of the recent matches, it seems that Liverpool is performing better. They are trying hard to get back to their previous position. But I doubt whether they have really developed enough ability to defeat Arsenal, a strong team at the moment. Because there is no reason to think that Arsenal is completely weak. Even Arsenal is in a good position in the points table.

Arsenal has some weaknesses, but for that they will have to lose to Liverpool, which is not that easy. It is true that they will have a hard time winning against Liverpool, but I cannot say for sure yet. Based on a few matches, I do not think Liverpool is stronger than Arsenal. So, when today's match is over, the real result will shows us which is better now.

[GIF-JOBS]

Chelsea secured 2-0 victory over Manchester United where both team started with attraking efforts but neither able to score a single goal in the first half. Afterwards in second half, Morgan Rogers scored first goal behalf of Chelsea. Man United faced difficulties after L. Martinez received a red card. Cole Palmer converted a penalty as a successful goal which made double Chelsea's lead. Man United gave their best effort, even they did many fouls and struggled to maintain their position. Finally Man United were defeated in the match

This match was already expected to be won by Chelsea, and that is how it happened, Manchester United was not Chelsea's equal in terms of attack, but Chelsea had a much better and stronger attack than Manchester United. And besides, considering Manchester United's current form, I never thought that they would be able to win against Chelsea, and that too at Chelsea's home ground, and so the result of this match seemed natural to me, given the bad situation that Manchester United is currently in, they will definitely lose the next Champions League match against Roma, and if we talk about the next Premier League match, they will play against Aston Villa and I think they will not be able to win there either. I have no more expectations on Manchester United, and they need a lot of time to improve their situation, and this is not expected from them in the league this season.
