Chelsea up 3-1 now. Time for me to go to bed. I know it's still better part of 20 minutes to play but surely they won't allow Wolves back into this game now? Personally, am quite happy to see different names all over the scoreboard. But I know the fans would prefer to see one or two names more consistently, preferably that of strikers!

I'm struggling to understand why Zinchenko suddenly disappeared from the project, he was at some point very crucial player in his role.
I do not think his mentality is yet at the top level, especially when things are not going your way. I think he needs to be sold while we may still be able to get some good money from him and invest in other players.Sterling have decisions making problem and there's no remedy for it. Pep could not even manage it. I was really hoping we would be able to convince Edu to give us €60m in the summer..
Sterling's best years are behind him. He is okay as a rotational player to give others a rest for cup matches, but has not improved the team at all. He is also losing his pace which was his strongest asset.- Jay -

And from what I remember seeing too, Zinchenko was pretty much awesome. Maybe he can't play Arteta style? Didn't seem so when he was active. Sterling, I think it has to be his last season playing in a top club.
I think he was emotionally drained, he was never the same player again since the war started, saw him crying too many times but still I didn't expect the current treatment he's getting now. Needs to move to redeem himself
"Never say never" for an English player - PSG, Juventus and Milan will be all over him next season.

Dropped down 1 position, not so bad, but not great either. Not the kind of performance to break into prizes. Missing the slam point because of trusting Manchester United was the dumbest thing I could do on this week

Another poor round for me in Premier League pool, only five points won so far
Moyes is a big motivation and inspiration for Everton players, but lets see how long they can continue winning with this squad.
It is fascinating to see that Nottingham won again and they are holding in third place with same points as Arsenal
Honestly, Newcastle losing shouldn't be an upset but the odds showed different, you were right 
It is a shame they lost, and I dont understand how Bournemouth won with so many missing players. I thought taking the draw was risky. I knew Everton would be lifted with Moyes. I like DCL. I know the bookies had them as favourites. But... I still thought the draw was the likely outcome so that was my BSFL pick. And I thought Spurs would confound and that was my Superbru pick.

Tottenham are really a disappointment, when you write them off not to win they go on to surprise you with a comfortable win..following week impressed with what you saw you back them for the win and they choose to repay you in kind for not believing in them with an "L" WtF .
Well played Everton didn't see that coming, and welcome back to the Premier league David Moyes..Everton should be proud with your immediate impact.
Manchester United lose, didn't expect that...
Southampton showing some resilience against high flying Forest was a surprise for me...
Otherwise plenty of goals for a Sunday, which means no correct scores

This round is just dissapointing. Some favorites dropping their points and Man Utd and Tottenham to lose this easily is just a problem for them. When big teams lose like this i dont know who to choose anymore. In this pool im too far away this last two round destroyed me and just losing hope to get even to top 10

Liverpool also has competent replacements in different positions. Having to deploy Timber into central defense is something that should not happen, but we do not trust Kuwior and did not get competent back up players. Zinchenko is another player who is not a competent replacement, neither is Sterling or Martinelli (playing from the right). The only impactful sub we could make was Trossard coming on, but we have lost that now as he has to start games.

David Moyes' first win with Everton surprised us as they won against a Spurs side in disarray even worse than Manchester United, I failed to pick Spurs and shouldn't have picked this team.Manchester United lose, didn't expect that...
Still the same as the clowns, this team seems to have no passion at all, you know that third goal which I believe was Onana's fault.

Liverpool also had a bad season every time they had multiple injuries. The only squad to survive was City, who had many replacements, until this season, when their injuries were the most important.

The Chosen One has announced his return.
Unfortunate yes, but also it was 2-on-2 for so much of their counters -- TAA haters will admit he saved our skins with so much tracking back. Great win, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This game featured the most shots in a game in Prem League history, what an advertisement for English football.

But let's face it, Brentford really brought the game to Liverpool and were so unfortunate to walkaway without any point's here and am loving the game chemistry between Mbeumo and Wissa, nice duel to have!

Today, who is the upset? Liverpool away to Brentford? or Arsenal at home? I have a feeling one of this goes to upset, or both end up as draws. Both title runners are showing cracks in their armor.
I would not call drawing to Villa an upset, but after leading by 2 goals in front of your home crowd and letting that slip, it feels very much like a loss. If you feel Liverpool have cracks, we have quakes in our armor.
Yeah, a draw is not an upset when the odds were 2.5x IIRC, but it definitely feels like Arsenal dropped 2 points, while Liverpool snatched 2 points. Amazing. Liverpool also had a bad season every time they had multiple injuries. The only squad to survive was City, who had many replacements, until this season, when their injuries were the most important.
You guys still gonna get one new attack, right? I read many rumors
^ Hey, maybe Bournemouth is the upset? They were 55/10 underdogs (well, just over 5/1 but if you used the Sportsbet superboost on Newcastle games, that's what you get, good eh?) and honestly deserve to be in front. Semenyo should have got an early goal too, but as long as he gets another assist later, I'll be pleased. Will lose an acca I have with Newcastle (oops) but I hedged with a Bournemouth win on the EPL Jackpot so I'll still be happy!
Honestly, Newcastle losing shouldn't be an upset but the odds showed different, you were right
I forgot to play EPL Jackpot this round, its always something I have to remember specifically because I don't really pay attention to EPL dates until forum pings me up lol.

Newcastle United Drew, Arsenal drew, Liverpool escaped- not a bad weekend for us after all. We have the easiest job tomorrow to retain back top4. So happy for Nenez, he was becoming a shadow of himself and performance like that will boast him up.
I forgot to make my picks again. It's already over for me.
Don't forget that even though Chelsea have an easy task but they often slip this will be a bad record again after the opportunity continues to be given a lot, so climbing to 4th place is very easy if Chelsea wins.I forgot to make my picks again. It's already over for me.
Another one I don't know what happened to Manchester United? Brighton is quite a difficult opponent while winning yesterday with Southampton with an easy team, there could be another surprise tomorrow.

What a day for Liverpool, I am so happy 
So stressful, desperate for a winner at Brentford and up stepped Nunez. I then started watching Arsenal vs Aston Villa and turned off at 2-0. I checked the score on my phone a little later, I see 2-2 so put the TV back on. Last 15 minutes was really nervy for me but Villa held on.
Now time to relax with a few beers.

Do you still have doubts about Liverpool becoming champions?
Liverpool - 1.25
Arsenal - 5.50
Manchester City - 29.00
Nottingham Forest - 34.00
Bookmakers believe that this issue is practically resolved. Arsenal have a theoretical chance, but apparently their fate is to remain a meme and the main losers in the fight for the title.
It's strange that the two-time Champions League winner (Nottingham Forest) is rated so poorly, even worse than City

I didnt watch this match but I expected Liverpool to win against Brentford.What I didnt expect to see is Newcastle losing so easy at home against Bournemouth, and Arsenal drawing against Aston Villa.
This was a rocky start of the round for me with only 3 points won, but lets see if I can do something tomorrow and reduce distance from darbit on top.
January 18, 2025, 03:04:36 PM
What a save for Liverpool all thanks to some individual brilliance coming from Nunez in the last minutes of the game ...and with that 2nil win lands me an exact result 😅
It's Nunez's save for Liverpool that I remember him being so ecstatic with his celebration only he was the only goal scorer for this win.But unfortunately some other matches such as Arsenal who have won even returned the draw, while Newcastle who became a surprise this week where they had to lose after many wins.

If you feel Liverpool have cracks, we have quakes in our armor. That is not a back-line that can win the league and it has been that way all through the season with makeshift players every other week. Attacking options also have been limited, losing Saka and now Jesus makes it very difficult to create enough chances and be able to look to the bench when a game gets tough.
Last summer we did very bad business and do not look to be making any deals this January, the title race may be over very early at this rate.
