Indeed, it was a very surprising match result today. Liverpool were really struggling to find gaps in Nottingham's defense even though they were able to fire off lots of shots. No goals were scored by Liverpool players until the match was over and they had to accept defeat at home. I'm sure, you are not the only gambler who lost because of Liverpool today and of course there are hundreds to thousands of other gamblers who lost.

So far I wouldn't say that Nottingham is a dark horse team in the Premier League this season. It is difficult to expect Nottingham to be able to maintain their good performance throughout the season because after all there are many other strong players who have not yet met them. Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and several other teams are very likely to make Nottingham drop points, so I don't believe in their good start to the season.

Chelsea against Bournemouth match will soon start, and I believe that the match will be a tough one. It will not be easy for either team. I have watched Bournemouth play this season, and I saw how great they are despite not having won a significant number of games. Chelsea, too, are performing well, and these two teams seem to be on the same level in terms of performance. If I may say, the match looks difficult to predict, but I still have some confidence that Chelsea may win. If Chelsea can't win, the least I expect from them is a draw. But let's see what happens, as it's Bournemouth's home game, and they will also try to get some points in this upcoming match.


Before the match, it was clear that Manchester United was really better than Southampton, so I was not having doubts that maybe Manchester United would not win the match. However, I was seriously expecting Southampton to give Manchester United a headache, despite winning the match. But it was not as I thought; it later turned in favor of Manchester United. Southampton was really playing well in the first few minutes of the first half, but immediately after Manchester United scored the first goal, Southampton's efforts decreased. The second goal made their efforts weaker, but still, they really tried. The truth is that Manchester United is on a different performance level than Southampton.

Everyones ticket I'm seeing today don't seems good, all tickets were lost except for people that optin for flexing with option of losing one or two matches but most likely everyone had their tickets cut because I didn't expect Liverpool to lose today and even Fulham wasn't supposed to draw their game with West ham. Manchester City almost made my day because I was happy they might going to lose this one but Haaland came prepared even though Brentford cool them in their home by performance.

I was telling one of my friend, you see teams that people do consider as useless team, they turned out to hurt the most because who will even believe Liverpool was going to lose to them, it was a home match at worse, they could have draw but they slipped through and do because of one substitution Nuno made in the second half. I hope Arsenal doesn't break my heart tomorrow in their Derby with Tottenham.

I think Liverpool losing today against Nottingham forest is because they failed to take the chances they created during the first half, they were seen as the favourite in the match but their performance wasn't good as expected because they did not play like a team that defeated Manchester United in their last performance, Liverpool must be surprised after the game because they had must have underestimated Nottingham forest since they are the bigger team but the shocking defeat against them at home by a team like Nottingham forest shows that there's no team that can not be defeated. Good defending by the Nottingham forest defense they made it possible for the Forest team to get the away victory in the game.

There were some surprising results where Liverpool lost to Nottingham Forest, I think Arne Slot was joking because it's unusual for them to play with such disappointing results. Who thinks this game is very strange Liverpool really can't find a gap in the opponent's defense, but then again anything can happen and personally I was disappointed with Liverpool today. My bet just missed!!
And for Nottingham Forest this win is a big ammunition, never losing in 4 games is a good start. Could there be a new dark horse in the EPL now?

It’s been a very interesting weekend. I was advised not the bet any games at the end of a FIFA window, guess they were right lol. Although my prediction for this game was accurate. My money was on Aston Villa and they didn’t disappoint.

The game looked like Villa was going to lose but somehow Aston Villa got themselves back in the game and won the game. Everton just couldn’t hold their own. Four consecutive losses for Everton. They are the bottom of the table. Last season, Everton barely escape relegation. And they are trailing behind this season as well, I don’t think Everton will escape regulation this time.

When players return from international breaks, their first game back at the club does not always produce positive results. Liverpool has cut many games today because no one believes Forest will have the opportunity to defeat Liverpool at Anfield, but sometimes a club that you did not expect to win a game will get the chance and win. Liverpool, who I believe will push Manchester City in the league top, are a little club that has gained three points alongside them. Manchester City are doing extremely well, and I believe Guadiola will win the Premier League again because I don't think anyone can stop them.

Let's see how Arsenal does against Tottenham tomorrow and if they can get three points against them. The game will not be easy for Arsenal. They need to win the game so that they can continue chasing Manchester City, as Liverpool has already messed up. And I didn't think Manchester City could lose much because when I saw Brentford leading Manchester City by one goal, I knew they wouldn't give up and wouldn't want to lose at the Etihad. After the UCL encounter, Arsenal will face Manchester City in the league, and they need to win against Tottenham tomorrow so that they may obtain opportunities to win against Manchester again, but it will not be an easy assignment for them.

Man, seeing the games today I was actually Sceptical on the odds trying to find the best possible way to come out better than these sportsbook, while making extra precautions I literally didn't consider the option of Liverpool losing, but like you said football happens sigh, it's all good at least what I lost today won't really affect me, wasn't tempted to stake big that's a foolish thing and thank God I didn't even do that.

Who could have expected Liverpool to lose at Anfield to Nottingham Forest shocking, even with stat the chances is top slim though this is the main reason I don't rate Liverpool above Arsenal anymore especially after last season though Liverpool will be disappointed after all the pressure and possession, just to be the team on the losing end

There were many surprises in the 4th week of the Premier League this time, guys.
After previously I doubted Man United's performance, they dismissed those doubts by winning the match 3-0 without reply at Southampton's home.

Even more surprising was the match between Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest, playing in front of their own supporters, the Reds had to accept defeat, it can be said that this was painful for Liverpool supporters.

Another thing I am amazed at is Ipswich's performance in being able to hold Brighton to a draw at their home as we know Brighton played well at the start of this season.

Everton is bad after they can surpass the goal but it can not be maintained until the end, last week Everton lost to Bournemouth after a 2-goal lead but the opponent was able to reply 3 goals in a short time means that obviously Everton's match record is bad.

And now it happened again with Aston Villa after two goals ahead but they missed again, it is not impossible that Aston Villa could win because Everton continued to be depressed in this match.
I'm not sure Everton will survive in the Premier League this season if their game doesn't change and it makes the team lose.

I know that, that's why I don't believe the reason is valid. Lack of luck, perhaps true, but less than perfect finishing is one of the reasons. Liverpool had 14 shots, only 5 of which were on target, so finishing when they had a goal opportunity should be a big reason why they struggled. Apart from that, Nottingham's defense deserves to be appreciated, it is certainly not easy to maintain a 0-1 lead at home to an opponent who is the favorite to win.

Arne Slot must accept this defeat patiently and he must improve the performance and effectiveness of the team's attacks in the next match. If Liverpool fail again in the next match, then it is clear that they will have a bigger point gap with Arsenal and Manchester City.

Haaland's goals per game ratio this season are very impressive. He leads the top scorer standings with 9 goals in 4 matches. He is likely to maintain his record again this season as the Premier League's top scorer.

It was nice to see Man United win because I bet on them  . Actually, it was quite difficult for Man United to develop their rhythm at the start of the first half because Southampton turned out to play quite aggressively. Southampton really exploited Man United's weakness on the left side, and it actually led to a penalty, but unfortunately, they weren't lucky enough to get a goal.

But somehow after the penalty incident, Man United looked like they had been given doping. Their performance suddenly improved, and every line seemed to have good harmony. If they can maintain that, I think they can improve their position in the table.

Why am i seeing some funny results today?. I actually gave up the remaining games for today, thinking that I was the only one that made wrong choice in selecting teams. But as it stands, I believed so many tickets has gone down the drain. All thanks to Liverpool that finally conceded their first goal of the season, and that goal snatched the whole 3 points from them. I can't believe that Liverpool could lose to forest at Anfield(the stadium where almost all clubs fear). Brentford almost gave us same surprise, but we all expected city to find ways of securing all 3 points. As it stands, City are well seated at the top, and arsenal will be looking forward to catching up, thereby closing the gap. Then I think City vs Arsenal game week5, might likely be the toughest game in this first half of the season, seeing how they are all positioned on the table. Congrats to those that won their games, and a better play (performance) to others that didn't. Looking forward to Chelsea's game.

Arsenal seems to be the team that has the chance to go for a title. But just now Haaland scored goals, they have the best coach in the world and honestly, the chance is very small that someome thinks Guardiola or Haaland would leave the club.

Can we say that it is the reason behind Liverpool’s loss today? I think no because all the players that are supposed to start for Arne Slot started, I just feel like they are not lucky today because I can see how well they have played throughout the game and they dominated the match to the extent that they created more chances than Nottingham Forest, but unfortunately, they lost from a loan goal scored by Hudson Odoi a former Chelsea academy player been assisted by Antony Elanga who left Manchester United to Join Nottingham Forest.

That’s how Premier League works, Arne Slot has now lost one game against a team we never expected them to lose against and at Anfield; nothing is certain in football.

Manchester United won their game away from home, which is a very important win for them, it is their second win of the season after losing two matches. This shows that Ten Hag is making extra effort to help the team achieve greatness again this season

Manchester City on the other hand have another win; two goals from Haaland again help them to complete a comeback, and they keep their wining streak, they are showing the whole world that they are indeed the favorites to win the Premier League again this season.

It's not speculation, the news said that Garnacho would not start playing, he was placed on the bench because he sided with Ronaldo in the criticism that Ronaldo made of the Manchester United coach.

In the last game in which Manchester United played against Liverpool, Garnacho played from the beginning of the game, so it was expected that in today's game, he would also play from the beginning, but since he was on Ronaldo's side, he was placed on the bench. This is no surprise, the Manchester United coach does not like to be contradicted. But anyway, today they won and Garnacho scored a goal. So the Manchester coach managed to clean up his image well. At least for this round he did very well. funny fact about this manchester united game that happened today Is that after 189 days Marcus Rashford finally scored a goal in the premier league

With this defeat of Liverpool, Manchester City becomes the leader, and I wonder:

is there any chance that Manchester City will not be champion again?

I guess that not many people expected that Liverpool can't win this game and I think a lot of people lost their money today, because for sure many people thought that it would be an easy victory for Liverpool and the odds to the Liverpool were 1.25, but Nottingham were given odds of 11.0 so those Nottingham Forest fans who dared to bet on their team could make good money.

In general, if Nottingham Forest had scored earlier, as Brentford scored to City on 22 seconds, Liverpool would have had plenty of time to get back, and so weakened by the departure for national team games Liverpool missed on 72 minutes and 18 minutes to such Liverpool was clearly not enough to at least equalize the score.

Sincerely Liverpool disappointed me, it was one the games I felt will be a walk over for Liverpool, coming from a club that won Manchester united 3-0 at old Trafford and today they are losing at Anfield to Nottingham forest, a lesser club.

Nottingham forest will certainly be celebrating a victory I believe they themselves didn't see it coming, especially considering the fact that they played a bigger team outside their ground, at best they would have been hoping for a draw without seeing the bigger picture waiting for them. It just one of those games that goes to show you that football is most times very unpredictable and Nottingham forest had to hold on with their 1-0 victory till the end of the game.

Everton has not had the best record this season with defending goals even after taking the lead. They were lucky to score two goals because Aston Villa looked more like the team to score before McNeil scored that very good goal for Everton. Everton were also lucky that they did not allow Aston Villa score two back before they will be able to regroup in the second half. Everton She would start the second half with the same strategy as he started the first which is having a very good defensive structure and waiting for the opportunities to present itself.
Aston Villa support have hope, their striker Watkins finally breaks the deadlock after the long wait. This game is still wide open for any team to win.

The impact of the international break is likely to affect the performance of some players. I'm not sure if this is a valid reason, but in any case the deciding factor in the outcome of a match is the performance of both teams. Liverpool dominated the match over Nottingham, but Liverpool really struggled to score goals until the end. There were many attempts by the players to break into the goal, but all were unsuccessful.

Chelsea are certainly favourites, but it doesn't seem like much. Their performance has not been stable over time, in fact I think a draw is a reasonable end result to expect. Even if Chelsea win, that's as it should be, but if they lose or draw then I'm not surprised by the result.
