⚽ Premier League 2026/2027 Discussion Thread ⚽

I hate the fact that Manchester United as a big club is happy celebrating a draw, it was a shit performance from the team even though they got a draw from coming back twice after trailing by two goals.

That’s their current reality, considering the many times they’ve had to suck up over a loss. A draw feels much like a win to them even when this draw was at home and against a team that isn’t doing so well in the premier league as well. They rather settle for a draw than yet another loss and this draw was hard fought for by the way. Its not what we hope to see from a team of their standards and the quality at the club but, its all they can give right now.

You are right. In fact the team that has always lost against weaker teams. So even though they were behind by margin in that match match, they were able to draw the match and score 4 goals, it was quite satisfying for them. But in reality as we see Manchester United as a team they are not able to play that way. And we have accepted that they will not be able to improve much this season. Because their coach's decisions are wrong and the players are not able to perform properly. They were not able to score goals matches  to win . But this draw match of theirs may have created some confidence in them. Because of this, they may be able to play well in the upcoming matches. I basically want them to play at least a little better in the next matches. they should win because I am not used to seeing such a mess of a strong team. I don't think Manchester United has ever been this weak in the past, as they are becoming a weak team and are in such a bad state.

[Showlove01]

Manchester United conceded two goals at the very beginning of the match, which I really didn't think was professional. Then Manchester United came back into the match after paying for those two goals. In the second half, they made the same mistake again, that is, they conceded two more goals in a few minutes on consecutive counterattacks. When two more goals were scored in the second half, I pretty much assumed that the result of this match was out of Manchester United's hands, but in extra time, Manchester United scored two more goals in a row to bring the team to parity. This is the fact that they are basically looking at this as a good performance from Manchester United, or considering it as a good performance by Manchester United, but it is not their good performance.
At the moment, Manchester United is the worst defending team in the English Premier League, if they cannot do well in defense, then it is never possible to do well in such a competition.

Most of their game against Aston Villa is always like that, they will allow Aston villa to lead with a goal or two before they will wake up from their slumber, there was a certain game they played that Aston villa won them 2 goals to nothing at first half then second half of the game, Manchester united unleash their wroth against them and went home with the whole points and this their previous match was similar to the game i just described and i was expecting same result but i was actually wrong even though it almost happened, Manchester united is full of shit right now.

[Achalugo BTC]

Do you even hear yourself? They keep draw and losing both home and away matches you're here saying that they've improvements, as long as they were unable to get 3 points they didn't improve anything. A team that allowed their visitor to score 2 goals in first half they managed to equalized still scored 2 goals in second half agains, if not that they still managed to equalized second half they would have lost the match. A club like Manchester United played 10 matches with 8 points, if they continue losing and drawing where do you think they'll finish in league table? Now they're in 18th position in league table you said they're improving, there's no improvement with this club called man utd.

That’s absolutely your own opinion. The way you might judge other doesn’t have to be the same as mine. You might not see any improvement because you want it to happen all at once, because even if they start getting 3 points consistently fans will still find faults. This is better for them to survive, which they will pick up from there rather than risk losing the match. It’s not really easy for them to keep the team together while ensuring they entertain the fans, even though they are not pleasing them but at least they are still fighting. So I believe they will surely meet the standard that fans expect of them, is just a matter of time, as long as they won’t give up.

I think it's just the last two seasons that this has happened before, when Aston Villa was leading by two goals and later Manchester United did come back and end the game in a victory by 3-2, and now this season again, Aston Villa has led Manchester United by 2 goals difference and they ended in a draw at the end. I can say Manchester United need to improve much better because the way they are playing this season, it can probably lead them to relegation. If they didn't improve, they will just do the needful and sack the coach, since if a team is not doing well, the coach is involved in the problem of the team.

I never expected this outcomes from ManchesterUnited, but you know a team that seems weaker tends to perform better in some matches unexpectedly. Manchester United performances were so weak right from the beginning of the season that's why everyone categorized them on lossingall the time. So Aston Villa would have won the  match, but since the Manchester united return to second half. They played brilliantly and Managed to equalized the Aston Villa at the end of the match. 4-4. It was only Chelsea's mat h surprised me more, imagine a team that is in relegation.

Aston Villa was leading by 4-2 till 90th minute of the game but we saw a drama in extra time of second half as United scored two goal in extra time of second half. United was at 17th position after week 9 and recent draw has taken them in the relegation zone. Even three new teams  Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City are performing much better then experienced Man United. Meanwhile Arsenal has strengthen its position at number one position as Brighton and City are now 5 and 6 points away from gunners.

Manchester United is not playing as they would like this year. They salvaged a draw against Aston Villa thanks to scoring 2 goals in added time, but their poor performance at home, despite the advantage of their fans, is a big problem for Manchester United this year. Expectations were high for Manchester United this year after their performance last year, but something must be going wrong, because we are witnessing a terrible Manchester United this season.

Manchester United have been in high demand from fans as they performed as expected last season and finished in 3rd position in the table. Another reason is the appointment of Michael Carrick as head coach. The pressure of increased expectations and the addition of many new players to the team during the last transfer window has not been able to produce good results overall. Despite these challenges, Carrick is still in charge of the team but the board may sack him at any time. But some say that he will probably be given more time to improve the team as he has only been in charge for a few months. I consider the 4-4 draw against Aston Villa as a positive aspect of the team.

Everyone's expectation for them this year was high but INEOS ruined it, if they had support the manager with good players then allow him continue with the strategy he used last season, maybe things wouldn't had been this bad. The tram in general was weak at defense and midfield plus they needed another striker but how did those at the board help?
 Now they're considering changing the Manchester with Pochettino, so i heard latelybut who set him up to fail if not them, if they had played their part well during the summer window, maybe Manchester United would've been in a good position by now, but they want to blame him as if everything is all his fault.

Why be surprised? defeats and draws are common for Manchester United, because they are dilapidated in performance and management. We all forget the last time they won. After the international break there is Liverpool who can extend Manchester United's position in the relegation zone. Followed by the Champions League match against Sporting, it is increasingly difficult to see Manchester United win.

In this latest match when Manchester United fell two goals behind scored by Alysson and Jacson it was clear that the United players were caught napping, they looked completely lost and disoriented on the pitch. In my opinion the club management really needs to evaluate the players who performed poorly. I wouldn't necessarily say that Manchester United unleashed their fury after going 2-0 down. Aston Villa remained competitive throughout, with John McGinn playing exceptionally well in midfield to orchestrate their attacks. Fortunately for Manchester United Patrick Dorgu who came in to replace Diogo Dalot provided an assist and scored a late goal, bringing the final score to 4-4 and sparing United from defeat.

Liverpool was struggling the same way Manchester united is struggling now last season and yet they managed to qualify for champions league this season and now, Liverpool have improved so  much that even Arsenal find it difficult to defeat them. Liverpool and Manchester united game usually end in favor of Liverpool for some years now and I don't think I will be expecting anything less than that considering the fact that Manchester united is not in a better form. But as for the champions league there is chance they may win Sporting Lisbon.

I will even have to commend Manchester United for the way that, they managed to come back to this game and got a point. For now Manchester United is so weak that any team that is coming up against them will be coming in with the mindset of wining Manchester United. For now Manchester United fans should take anything that they see from Manchester United as a club. Aston Villa deserves all three points from this game because they played better. One thing that I have seen in this Manchester United team is how cheap that they conceive goals, the defense Line is one area that Carrick should work on by bringing in fresh legs come jenuary.

Manchester United are having a bad time at the moment. They have conceded 4 goals, especially at home, which has put the fans in a frustrating situation. However, I see it differently because they always lose to weaker teams. If you watch the Aston Villa match, you will see that they conceded 2 goals in the first 4 minutes but were able to equalize in the first half. But they conceded again at the beginning of the second half. Their defense has become weak. This is the most worrying thing for me. Even then, they drew 4 goals despite being behind. This does not mean that their attack is ineffective, but rather that they are unable to maintain a balance between attack and defense. However, I think that scoring two goals in the last minute to draw is certainly commendable. However, at the same time, this strategy of theirs cannot be a good strategy in the long run.

Man United performance under Carrick is getting worse and they still haven’t managed to get out of the relegation zone after drawing with Aston Villa. Strangely, even though Man United performance is below standard, Carrick is still confident about his position as head coach. He even insists that he deserves to keep his job despite the team currently struggling in the relegation zone because he believes he still has strong reasons to lead the Man United squad. He claims he wants to stay focused on continuing to improve the team’s performance, reduce mistakes on the field and try to get back to winning.

In my opinion, even though Carrick is still confident in leading Man United he really deserves to be fired. Getting only 8 points from 10 matches is definitely very bad for a team as big as Man United. The longer management keeps Carrick, the harder it will be for Man United to get out of the relegation zone. The reason for keeping him is quite clear Carrick never learns from mistakes, like the defense being too easily breached in the early minutes as happened against Aston Villa and in previous matches as well.

Zero points for Manchester United on both of games. Liverpool and Sport are clearly better sides than Aston Villa. They have tiny chance to win those games, but i believe it won't happen following how awful their team work is. If we're talking about the odds MU gets 2.75 while Sporting 2.65.
I'm obviously going for Sporting because they're doing it very well at domestic by placing at 3rd while they're also getting three wins from 4 games in UCL as well. Sporting CP is a sense choice here.

On other hand, Liverpool is improving a lot. They started to know it so well how Iraola's tactic is. I;m holding Liverpool to win the game. 1.74 against 4.72, which is proving the host is favorite. So i'll take Liverpool for betting purpose or btts as alternative.

Manchester United are facing two difficult games in the same week. Ifully doubt they can survive.

I don't think Manchester United fans should that takes that draw as one big dea , like any Manchester United fans that actually took this draw as a win, does not really mean well for the club, because after the game they are still on the relegation zone, nothing actually changed, that was a Match Manchester United was supposed to win, because after this game their next two games are very more challenging, and they might end up losing those games if care is not taken, so this Aston villa game was a game they could has won by all means, but yet they chose to joke with it.

Expectations were high for Manchester United this year after their performance last year, but something must be going wrong, because we are witnessing a terrible Manchester United this season.

Manchester United have not been able to perform at their best and it is safe to say that they are having their worst performance this season.In fact, after Aston Villa's UEFA Champions League defeat against Barcelona, it looked like they would be weakened when they traveled to Old Trafford but the team produced their best performance in that match which put Manchester United under a lot of pressure in that game.

Take a look, the visiting side went into the 90 minutes of this game and looked like they might snatch the win but we see Manchester United turn the game around dramatically as their players scored two goals in added time to prevent defeat. Another thing is that last year in terms of performance this team was third in the points table so it seemed that this season the team will play more mature but now they are 18th in the points table of PL.

[Amphenomenon]

Liverpool similarly like Manchester United had a rough time last but they both made it to the Champions League.

I guess you might have forgotten Manchester United are in the champions league also, though started last season terribly before Michael Carrick saved them. This is why I feel like  it's too early to sack him since the major issues is not his fault.

Lastly, it's not like Liverpool are really doing well, they are trying to get back up especially after last season.

Manchester United are facing two difficult games in the same week. Ifully doubt they can survive.

This should have been the more reason Manchester united should has won that Aston villa game, because Aston villa was less of a worry compare to these games, like if we should tell ourselves the truth, Manchester United ain't getting any point here, these two games are all lose to them, maybe they might pick form from any other games but not on this ones certainly, or they have decide to give us another shocker, like they did against AS Roma, but I see no possibilities of that repeating itself on these games.

Another hard game for Carrick, if they had won against Aston villa the pressure on Carrick will have reduced but a draw has kept the pressure on and from what the fans are saying, they want an end to Carrick as the manager of the club. As the fans are demanding the replacement of the coach, they should also demand departures of those unserious players who think Manchester United is their birth right. I feel the players are no longer thinking he should continue to be the coach, I feel as if the players are doing what they are doing now on purpose, they don't play well so the coach will keep on having a bad reputation. Manchester United squad is almost the same players who performed well last season, is the same players that are at the club now
