⚽ Matchday 4 - Premier League Discussion Thread 2025/2026

[salad daging]

Finally Liverpool finished a game without conceding a goal.    And it was impressive that they did it against one of top league title contenders. If it weren't for that spectacular free-kick goal I doubt they would score the winner though.

Because they were trying in the second half but still wasting all those opportunities. They are currently the only team starting the Premier League without point losses after 3 weeks passed. Now Isak and Guéhi are also arriving at Liverpool!

Without Dominik's free kick goal, it might have ended in a draw.

But I'm glad it was the only goal that decided Liverpool's victory, where they finally managed to get full points.

After a long wait, Alexander Isak finally joined Liverpool after a long period of drama from Newcastle. Isak's determination was so strong that Newcastle couldn't hold on to him any longer.

Isak is the only one that comes to the Liverpool during the transfer deadline. Guehi's deal was off due Palace rejected his move to the Liverpool in the last minutes after they received a threat from Glasner to resign if they sell Guehi. Guehi feel so unhappy at this moment.

Guehi would have been a better signing than Alexander Isak, this is not because Isak is a bad player infact he is the best striker in England but Liverpool has Ekitike and Gakpo who are good attacking players but Virgil Van Dike has been having partnership problems and Guehi will be the perfect fit for him. Hopefully next season he would be signed.

Solid points! Isak’s a massive coup for Liverpool—his clinical finishing will light up Anfield. Shame about Guéhi; he’d have been a rock next to Van Dijk, especially with VVD’s recent partnership struggles. Palace’s last-minute block is rough, and Guéhi’s frustration is understandable. Fingers crossed for a move next window, but for now, Isak’s arrival keeps Liverpool’s attack scary. What do you think their starting XI looks like with him?

[Issa56]

I got really bored in the first half because of watching no goal.    But I can say Arsenal were the better playing side. They had many opportunities to score so far.

From the beginning of the match till when the match ended, I didn’t find the match so interesting, I was expecting something more interesting in the maych, the match was just kind of boring to me. Arsenal created some chances in the match, but they couldn’t convert any of the chances which they created into goal. Seriously Arsenal played better than Liverpool in the match, but they couldn’t just score in the match, and what everyone is after is the team that secure the three points. Liverpool were lucky in the match, they were able to score a free kick which gave Liverpool the winning goal.

Typically, players who have reached personal terms with another club but the current club refuses to grant permission to leave will often exhibit indiscipline. Hopefully, this doesn't happen to Gueshi. He's still young and should focus on his performance. If Liverpool are still monitoring him, as long as he doesn't cause any problems with Crystal Palace, they might try to make another offer in the winter transfer window.

Yeah I found out about that by the end of the transfer window. Guehi is really unlucky with that.    Maybe Glasner sent the ultimatum because of its being the final hours of the window, I don't know.

Because they couldn't have filled his place in such a short time. But the Isak signing is really huge! The best for Newcastle and Liverpool happened. Because if he stayed Newcastle wasn't going to be able to use him.

Sorry, i rated Isak is also important signing for Liverpool. I knew they signed Ekitike before, but ain't enough to win several trophies by only having Ekitike in their squad. It's because they will have so many fixtures, and attacking rotation is obviously needed to ensure their attack to always stay fit.
On other hand, Guehi was also important signing, but since they still have several defenders such as Leonni and Gomez. I think they fine.

That's why i'd rather put Isak's transfer as their priority transfer over Guehi's transfer. They have so many CBs and can rotate them.

[emrecemsan]

Isak is a great transfer for Liverpool. However I'm not expecting him to be in the starting 11 straight away. He lacks match fitness as you know.

He hasn't played in any PL matches yet because of disagreements with Newcastle. Arne Slot wouldn't risk it because of that. But he'd enter in the second halves for some time.

Ekitiké is in a really good form. It won't be easy to cut him. But in the long term I still expect Isak to play for the most amount of minutes.

There was very exciting match between Liverpool football team and Arsenal football team as one team did goal in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Szoboszlai was a person who did one and only goal of this match and he did this goal at the end of the match when it was requirement of team,otherwise match could be end with draw result because before that both teams score was 0 . The shots of Liverpool football team were very high in this match which were 9 and 3 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 53 percent in this match and players of that team gave brilliant effort to win this match.The pass accuracy of that team was brilliant in this match which was 84 percent and opponent team pass accuracy was very low.

Liverpool has done well but it now depends on how he will develop Liverpool by proving his performance and he will be successful by proving himself as a better player. Maybe they want to give him a good opportunity so that he can succeed and strengthen himself. For this, he will have to work hard and try hard because the real and best player is the one who is better in every aspect. I want this to be resolved as soon as possible and the match should start and they should get a chance. They should try to be better in their real condition so that they can make it easier for themselves. Every player has their own strength and hard work due to which the players of each team are seen to be successful with different hard work.

Liverpool has made their decision and it's good for the club Alexander Isak is a good finisher a good striker in that I don't believe Liverpool will be able to sign Guehi again since they have sign Alexander Isak so that this players can have a good chances to playing football not buying them to keep them on the bench. Alexander Isak will perform better than Guehi in times goal scoring.

I think that by acquiring Alexander Isak Liverpool is signaling their intention to build the explosive attacking force, combining his dribbling skills, pace, and link-up play with the qualities Mohamed Salah brought to the team. If these efforts come to fruition this duo could wreak havoc on any defense in League. I wish Isak all the best and hope he demonstrate strong performances and succeeds with Liverpool.

[Velvet78]

I have heard that Liverpool wants to part ways with Chiesa as soon as possible. He hasn't been included into their Champions League squad either. He is only a rotational player there in local tournaments.

He is still 27 years old so not the end of the world for him. Even though he hasn't been the first choice he is still a part of one of top European teams. I hope his next team would be a place where he can play regularly of course.

Hmmm, Isak seems to be a British-record signing for Liverpool, it is 125 million pound right ? but he has left Newcastle completly messy, and lost his preseason too. So I don't think Arne Slot will put him straight into the starting XI, meaning Arne Slot will most likely keep him on the bench for now. On the other hand, I see Hugo Ekitiké joining in, and starting to score goals. So I would say that who gets playing time will not just depend on their name, but also on their fitness and form ...).

Isak has been out for months from playing competitive football. It's quite long for a professional footballer like him. It's obvious starting him is kinda risky, but i believe he will be starting from the bench. Ekitike may always be the starter until Isak will able to regain his confidence. However, Slot is unpredictable. He maybe also putting Isak in the starting 11, but not to give him full minutes.
I believe Isak will able to get a spot in the starting line up easily as long as he gets enough minutes. So, this is Slot's main problem to manage his game time.

I also think it was too much at first and even now, even though he was seen in his performance earlier, he could not succeed in it. Who knows, he could improve for Liverpool. Now it is to be seen whether he will be able to fulfill his performance for so much money. If it is talked about, then in comparison, Isak cannot be called a better and better player because we all know with what hard work and performance he succeeds. I also think that he should not be given this but they are giving him a chance to improve which is a good decision for him because right now his team is not in danger of succeeding in the league, due to which he should get time and if he does not succeed, then Ekitiké should be kept in it.

By the end of the national break, we're going to be tuned for a Manchester derby at Etihad. 

The most surprising thing after 3 weeks is that Manchester United have started the season a little better (both are still a mess though). Guardiola was really desperate against Tottenham and Brighton both...

What do you think about this derby? I'd like to remind a thing. Amorim won here the last time and didn't lose to Guardiola in the last 2 league matches.

Man City has only earned three points from three matches, while Manchester United has four points from three. Both are not yet at their best, and this match will likely be a very tough one, both to end their bad conditions and to prove who is the king of Manchester in the first half of the Premier League season. Guardiola reminds me of Mourinho experience, in the past. A manager who brought numerous titles to his teams, suddenly struggling to deliver good results. IMO, Manchester United could be the favorites to win this match.

I don't favor City to win the game, though they played the game at home. Seeing how they get losses in their last two games enough to prove they're not good enough atm. So it's fair to think 50:50 for them and MU. I know bookied valued them(1.73) smaller than MU(4.75), but i won't be repeating the same mistake.

Prefer to take Total Goals in this game instead of one sided bet. I believe we may be seeing both of team to score, but a bit dubious whether it's gonna be a draw or not.
