⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Talking about Liverpool, they're facing all of big clubs in PL. How can you say they don't face any serious contender? They are not leading the competition if they're not chasing points from all of serious contender in PL.

You'er in PL where all participants are british club, not abroad clubs.   

The current condition of Liverpool is very good, except in the UCL. They failed. This reflects Liverpool's serious beta in the EPL. Currently, they are the team with only 1 loss. This situation is somewhat advantageous because Liverpool can focus solely on the EPL. Hence, they have better physical condition.All teams in the EPL indeed have the ability to create surprises. They have a different spirit compared to other leagues. The competition is always good, as smaller teams in the EPL can also provide resistance and the final results sometimes do not have a large goal difference.

But I see that Liverpool is still very dependent on Moh Salah at the moment. So when he is not there, the performance is not good. Even currently, Slot has not found a replacement, if this continues, it will be detrimental. This is because there are rumors that Moh Salah will leave next season.

They tried, it's not easy to get to that stage of the Champions league especially now that the fixtures was changed this season but they tried to get to the round of 16, we all know that PSG has gotten stronger this season so even if I were a Liverpool fan, I won't really feel bad that my team is out of the Champions league, they have a title to claim and it's very important, they really tried in the EPL this season and they deserve to win it, I just hope the energy of their players won't decline, they should keep up with the fighting spirit till the end.

 Mo Salah would be missed when he leaves Liverpool, from the news concerning his transfer I don't think he'll be at Liverpool beyond the summer, I think it would be quite difficult to find someone as good as Salah but their are younger talents yet to be discovered that has the potential to assume that role. Well that's by the way, for now Mo Salah is still a Liverpool player and he has a trophy to win for them.

Arsenal injuries are killing them for sure. THey are having a very bad luck right now. They lose all of his stars in the last end of the field, and now they still receiving more and more injuries.

I think all this is related with the ton of games FIFA makes the clubs play, the players are not holding on this extra load of games, and this is why we are seeing so much injuries.

I mean its not an Arsenal only issue. They are one of the most injured parties yes, but they are not alone.

Arsenal have suffered coping with these numerous injuries to their key players. I am sure if not for injuries Arsenal would have had a better season than they are experiencing now. The amount of games played each season is much and every year Arsenal experience players getting injured more often than ever. Something needs to be done to address this situation before the new season.

Arsenal is great team for the records but using injuries to judge the performance of Arsenal in the Table this season is not convincing at all. Judging with the look of things,Arsenal players are not the only teams that have  suffered from injuries this season, I am sure injury is a general phenomenon that happens among players and not just Arsenal teams.

Arsenal players started very well this season but the problem is  that they couldn't maintain that forms for a long time as some of their key players ran into fatigue and injuries. There's something I observed about Arsenal teams,they will starting playing well at the beginning of the season but wouldn't end up winning the league only to secure 2nd position. Arteta has to step up on his games,change strategy and  formation  that suits the players playing style because it's high time Arsenal has to  win the premier League,it's been so long their lifted that trophy .

I heard that few teams interested with Dalot, Manchester United who're rich team should able to convince their current good players to stay instead of joining new teams, imagine they're already bad and they allow their good players to leave.

I feel like Mainoo is overrated, he and Leny Yoro are nothing different, they're very young and their performance are so-so.

I see Amad Diallo might be the best Academy player from MU in this season

Darlot has been crucial for Manchester United in recent seasons. Despite the team’s struggles this season and last only a few players have managed to stand out from the rest and Dalot happens to be one of the few. It will be a shame if Manchester United decide to sell him at the end of the season. I would rather keep him for his devotion and readiness to play for the club at any opportunity given.

12 points is the distance that Liverpool has from their closest rivals, Arsenal. That means they have to suffer 4 defeats to be able to be caught up by their rivals. That is quite difficult, because Liverpool are in good shape this season. If they want to claim the title, then they have to focus on every match they play. They have to claim the title as soon as possible, it will make them calmer. Because looking at them last season, they had to experience a decline at the end of the season. Maybe now it will be different because they are working with a new coach too.

After seeing Liverpool losing in the Uefa Champions League and after seeing them losing the final of the carabao cup i start to think they has quite a good luck in this premier because they don't have to face any serious contender.

Manchester city normally stole the show but this year they are the worst versión of them in years.

I remind you how UCL is totally different with the league games. UCL is about how luck you're in beating your opponent in two games. It's different when it comes to the Premier League, which is a battle of consistency. Stop to think if those two competitions are the same. 

Talking about Liverpool, they're facing all of big clubs in PL. How can you say they don't face any serious contender? They are not leading the competition if they're not chasing points from all of serious contender in PL.

You'er in PL where all participants are british club, not abroad clubs.   

My view about the Champion League is different from yours because while you believe that it is based on luck, I believe luck is just a fraction of what helps a team, instead, preparations and experience are more important factors. For instance, there is no how a team that is very weak and inexperienced will beat a team like Real Madrid or Barcelona that have good experience in the Champions League and also have the squad to beat any team. This is the reason we often predict, with some level of accuracy, the team that will win a Champions League match using available data such as present form of the team, the team mentality, experience and other parameters and not really solely on luck.

Liverpool is not only lucky that they do not have any serious challengers this season, but they are also lucky that they are dominating the Premier League top table by a huge point, assuming there is 6 point gap with Arsenal, I am confident that Arteta could have challenged in the remaining games of the season. I was disappointed with Liverpool at this point in the season when they were knocked out of the Champions League; I understand that their chances of a treble have ended, and I assume two trophies were remaining for Arne Slot to win on his trophy, till they lost to Newcastle.

However, it was unexpected that Liverpool were unable to maintain the pressure of Newcastle from the start of the game. According to H2H, before the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool had not lost a game against Newcastle in their previous ten meetings in all competitions, if not for the huge points gap, Arne Slot's first season may have been trophyless.

TAA is really about to leave seemingly. Like every source has started to point out Real Madrid has agreed with him on a contract - including Fabrizio Romano. It is only a matter of time they announce the signing. But I think they will probably wait until the end of the season. 

Now I'm wondering Salah and van Dijk's future more than ever. Do you have an expectation for both of them to extend by 1 more year or no? I wish to see at least Salah for another season. I mean unless they are able to find a really good replacement for him.

The news of Darlot will leave Manchester United next summer because the club decided to sell him. Manchester United started the season badly and until the end of the season there was no change at all they were in the bottom 10 of the standings this is very embarrassing. I think Darlot is an important player for Manchester from the many players Darlot is very active and works hard for the team, if Manchester releases him then the team that gets his signature is very lucky Darlot is an important player in every match he will not waste the opportunities given by the coach.

There is a rumor that Rodrigo from Madrid will be replacing Sallah, but I don't know how true is that. I hope that Liverpool management knows what they're doing. Let them not make decision that might be a problem for them in future. Sallah needs on more year contract extension, because he is an important player in Liverpool.

Manchester United full strength football team performance is not bad after that and they are still strong and they won last 2 matches and that is positive for the players of that team. If we will judge the stats of both teams then we will say that Manchester United team is strong as comparison to Football team because players of that team give all effort to win the match. Nottingham Forest football team is also looking in good rhythm because that team won last 3 matches and they have confident players . The position of Manchester United team is very low on the table but they should try to give all effort to win this match. Nottingham Forest team has 3rd position on the table and that team has 54 points on the table.

You’ve got a little typo with “Sallah” instead of Salah. You would want to note that, probably your device doing some autocorrect for you.

It would be a huge disfavor for Liverpool let Salah go without having at least one more season from him. The guy at the moment is firing on all cylinders and there is nothing they would want more than his delivering. The few leagues where they didn’t perform good wasn’t exactly him and I don’t see Rodrigo to be his best replacement. Rodrigo isn’t exactly that a spectacle at Real Madrid even and the premier league could be such a demanding one.

[Stable090]

Arteta has been building this team for a long time, and there is also a past that is actually not pleasant for him because at the beginning he was not considered a competent coach until finally many people urged Arsenal to fire him. However, over time, he was also able to show that he could provide something different until finally Arsenal could play well as we see now.

I don’t really know when Arteta will finally complete building Arsenal? Arteta has been in Arsenal for years, and he hasn’t been able to win the premier league title for Arsenal. Arsenal fans are just tired of ending the season in a second position, they really want to win the premier league title, but it looks like Arteta can’t really give them that because he has been trying hard, so they just have to let him go, and get someone else that can make their dreams come true.

Arteta keeps on making similar mistake for some seasons now, their performance is always good at the beginning of the season, but towards the ending of the season, it’s always dropping, and that’s how they are always losing the opportunity to win the league title every season.

The Salah name usually been spelled wrongly is something that is common most especially due to the Muslim celebrations called Sallah, so it is understandable.

For me Liverpool will definitely not get it right at first in trying to replace Salah this is someone who guarantees them at least 20 premier league goals every season which rare so they should seriously consider who to replace him, they had similar problems with replacing Mane and it took them time to get something close to him. For me Salah replacement should have been signed long time ago so that the player might have the luxury of learning from the main man himself, but right now it is looking like it is late already.

As for your statement about Rodrigo I don’t agree with all you say Rodrigo is a very important player in that Real Madrid and is seriously too underrated many of the time when compared to other teams. Check out any player who has rescued Madrid out when the team needed it, i don’t think any of present outfield players have done better than him. But still he isn’t the perfect Salah replacement because he prefers the LW than the Salah RW

Liverpool doesn't value their top players and I'm sick and tire of the club inability to spot rare gems when they see one. Who need more heightened tips about Mohammed Salah in Anfield? He's been incredibly a good player who indulge in all round development and progress of the club. Mohammed Salah is been targeted by more elite clubs than we could possibly see in the mere picture. We've seen alot happening and this is not walking down the path of the Reds.

Real Madrid starlet, Rodrygo is not going anywhere, he's staying and extending his contract with the club. Do you know about the facts surrounding the Brazilian? He's underrated in the club despite his stellar performance and contributing factors for the club. Who else noticed that Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are been overhyped over Rodrygo? He's one of the centered frontline that have maintain consistency in every possible angles in the competitive tournament.

I don't understand why Liverpool haven't extended their contract. Even if Arne Slot wants to build his own team, I'd expect he keeps both players atleast for one year before pulling the plug. If Liverpool gets to win the premier league, which I think they will, it'd be partly because of the scintillating form of Mo Salah and he's still at his peak. Van Dijk also is not playing badly, they need his experience and leadership.

Van Dijk has become one of the team's most important trump cards, along with Mohamed Salah. I think Salah and Van Dijk have played a key role in Liverpool's success this year. Unfortunately, they are the biggest favorites for the Premier League title, which is important in the Champions League. I think coach Arne Slot would like to see them in the team for another year.

The uncertainty about Salah at this time is still very difficult for us to predict because even though his contract is almost up at the end of this season but Liverpool still hasn't given any statement about the contract renewal being carried out so this could actually backfire on them but indeed by looking at the rumors now especially some players who are indeed associated with Liverpool including Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz who are still one of the players associated with Liverpool it seems that this does indeed lead to Salah most likely leaving at the end of this season.

Rodrygo is currently still one of the players who is quite good I think and this could be an alternative when Salah leaves Liverpool, it's just that Madrid clearly won't let their players leave just like that.

In addition, currently Rodrygo's value is also not cheap because at least Liverpool must prepare around 100 million if they really want to get Rodrygo's services because even though sometimes Madrid is also quite soft on player transfers as long as the price is appropriate but it cannot be denied that for 100 million it is possible to happen especially Rodrygo is also one of Madrid's mainstay young players at this time.

I don’t think Arteta will be able to win the Premier League title for Arsenal at this point because for many seasons now Arteta has been trying and not lucky enough to win the league title. I think at this point maybe Arsenal management needs another person to make their dream come true. As you just said, I notice one thing about Arteta: he always starts the season in a very good way but later ends the season in a bad situation, which is very bad.

At this point I think Arteta always gets confused when the season starts getting too tough; he doesn’t usually keep the team consistent for a long time, and that is the problem Arteta is facing. I think management need to work on their manager seriously.

Bro keyboard is already preparing for Sallah I guess: 

I don't there their is any favour it's going to do to Liverpool without winning anything for them than what he has won before. This is not his first Premier League with the club, it would have been more helpful to him and the club if they have win the EFL cup and still remain in the Champions League by now but they didn't, now he is only going to win the Premier League and only be having is personal achievement of golden booth. This is not his first time winning them.

There is room for exploration, it's not like his life depends on Liverpool and the team can't do withoug him. There are some games that play and makes money when you they leave their comfort zone.  He used to be better than this during when he was I Chelsea. If decide to another club. It's going to be norm for him and as long Liverpool has good players, he will be fine and who knows if Liverpool has been on some contract with new players.

It will be another big mistake for Liverpool if they actually do that, I can still remember the last time they sold Sadio Mane, they suffered it for a long period of time before they  started playing well because S. Mane and M. Salah was very cooperative and understands each other more than any other player and back then, S. Mane was giving M. Salah assist back to back and immediately they sold him Salah stop scoring because there was no one to assist him and they don't understand his pattern. Rodrigo is not a bad option just that it will take him time to understand and cope with the rest of the teammates just like what happened to K. Mbbape when he entered Real Madrid.
