All the blame should be on Sanchez for drawing the game today. I cannot understand mistakes like these.
You have a great result, you need this victory and you give a goal back by trying to be too smart as a goalkeeper.

Yes, I'm well aware that the best teams play with a goalkeeper when building up the play - but there must be some common sense by those goalkeepers as well.
The Gunners and Chelsea played a fantastic North West London Derby at Stamford Bridge today. The Blues gave it their all, and Cole Palmer made a great play to get Chelsea's midfield moving. However, Arsenal did what they do best, which is draw the game with the few opportunities they had in the second half. What a fantastic goal for Rice. I believe that Sanchez, the custodian for Chelsea, made an error that gave the Arsenal the confidence to play a draw. Since the beginning of the season, Arsenal has been unbeating, and I don't think they will be easily broken.

Well yesterday in the North London derby they were near hitting the first lost game of the season.If it were not for that big mistake of Chelsea goalkeeper Arsenal most likely would have had a lot more difficulty in drawing the game,that is why the goalkeepers errors have a huge impact on the game.Arsenal most likely did not evaluate the game as they should and they entered in the pit convinced that they would get an easy win,they were shocked when they found themselves 2 goals down and as already said if not for the goalkeeper error of Chelsea they would had the first lost game of the season.

Nevertheless Tottenham if they win the game of Monday they will be topping the standings of the Premier League which they have not been doing from a really long long time.

It was really a game of errors. Raya made a mistake in the other end which allowed Mykhailo Mudryk to take the blues two goals ahead and almost gifted them a third after passing straight to a Chelsea attacker in the 18 yards box.

Despite the error we all have to appreciate the strike fro Declan Rice. He could not have hit that any cleaner than he did and made sure to punish the error.

Overall Arsenal were very lackluster and got lucky to get a point in the match.

Need a Chelsea win over Arsenal to gain those precious points to advance more from the bottom of the pool board. Cheesy
Where is @Igebotz at since this is his team.
He must be watching the match because last I looked at the score they were leading the Ol' Gunners 1-0.
Can see them getting a red card the way they have been playing and wanting to advance up the table themselves.

Yes, I was watching the game in the pub and came home angry and drunk. Just as I felt we were getting something out of the game, we went poo as usual when put under pressure. In less than 30 minutes, we blew a two-goal advantage.

Due to a lack of competition in his position, he has become overly complacent.I watched that awful pass situation and I still can't figure out what he was attempting to do. Every experienced goalkeeper I know would never make such a pass in a comfortable winning position. The goal he gave away changed the flow of the game, and the second goal is something that an experienced GK saves easily in that situation.

What a shame honestly for my points in this round. Had 3 correct results in last 10 minutes of the match and everything changed really quick could have taken the first place really easily but just the luck. Nottingham forrest spilled the lead plus that var decision in the end just unlucky
I am also feeling bad suddenly things gone from bad to worse for me as I was not expecting few results to be happened but have to accept them I was expecting one goal from Arsenal for the improvement but this also gone on wrong side with leave me down.
But most chances I will be able to perform better in coming week because mostly after break I have bad results, so things could be normal as we will have matches on regular basis.
Right now after 55 minutes Sheffield United holding Manchester United with the score of 1 - 1 hopefully I will have one more goal from Manchester United for the first extract of this week.

Somehow i took the first place in the pool but im not satisfied with how the results turned out because i knew i could have scored a lot more points in this round. Man Utd result is going good for me hopefully they score at least one more so that it finishes 1-2 to get all 3 points

Congrats on getting to that first place which will be very difficult to get until the end but I wish you do so.I have not checked at all where I am as I think I got a lot of close results today with a couple of exact ones with Liverpool being one I have gotten the 3 points and the other games I don't remember but since I have played the favorites I should have gotten quite a good number of points as all of them won and this is something unique in a league where rarely all the favorites win their games.

Manchester does not look good at 1-1 so far and Sheffield United would love to get one point,hopefully they make it 1-2 as I have the same score I believe.

Nottingham, after winning by 2 goals, was optimistic that they could get 3 points, but you know Luton managed to draw in the final minute. Grin

London derby finished as a draw, leaving open space for Spurs to claim first place alone on Monday
Can't believe Chelsea can lead by two goals even though in the end they gave up in a draw in this London Derby match.

Newcastle finished 4:0, expected a win, but not this many goals, they really seem as getting into right shape, waiting for a show against Dortmund in CL, that could be a real fire, and a lot of goals
Newcastle's fire has been burning with lots of goals scored, in the UCL PSG are also open, now they are waiting for Dortmund who will be overwhelmed by Newcastle's game.

I agree with you that the goalkeepers when they make mistakes they weigh much more than when a normal player does the same mistake,own goal for example from a defender it weighs less than when the goalkeeper want to play smart and get hit hard then because of this mistake.

I agree also that when you are winning you should do all in your power to slow down the adversary especially when the lead was 2 goals and they got to equalized because of amateur mistakes like this one.

we lost at Anfield, pretty much as expected, but it is getting better

...which bring Liverpool to the top of the league table for some time which is good for the players and fans as well...
The second switch at the top of the table happens now with Manchester City going top. They made their win against Brighton more difficult than it should have been after a very solid start to the match.

I did not get any exact score and managed to get a fairly predictable Newcastle victory wrong, one of only two players to predict that match wrong. But late goals from Luton town and Wolves saved me some blushes this week.
All attention switches to Stamford bridge now and we will see if we get the 4th team to top the table today or will City remain at the summit.

Hoping Alexis improves and meets his rating for once.
He has been really decent today with his passing (long and short) and also his close control. I also think he has been decent all season and he has an average sofascore rating of 6.95. Boy is still settling into the team and will only improve from here.

Half time and still goalless but Liverpool will be playing the whole of the second half with a man advantage and should make that count having coped well with playing one and even two players short. Nunez should come on at some point in the game too.

- Jay -
You have done good as we have Nunez, and then we have late double from Mohammad Salah which bring Liverpool to the top of the league table for some time which is good for the players and fans as well, but I have only 1.5 points with I predicted 3 - 0 but things gone no perfect now we are heading for five games with 2 are looking easy, but mostly others are unpredictable after the break.
Another derby is waiting for us later, but Gunners are looking in better shape, hopefully they will give their best as well and have full points against struggling blues which are still not capable of having good results against big teams.

LFC_Bitcoin you watching derby from comfort of home or soaking in the atmosphere at Anfield? Prepped myself all hours before the game knowing we'd be without a certain Scotsman who's always a constants for me but his deputy's not bad. Lineup is finally looking like our 4-3-3 is returning but I did wince a little to see my man Nunez not starting! Hoping Alexis improves and meets his rating for once.

Never thought I'd fin myself saying this but thank god for Arsenal or this Super Sunday would be an all-draw affair.
Quite a strange gratitude, because a draw would have been in favor of Liverpool  Wink

^  I'm not saying they're unbeatable or saying they're the greatest club in the world and whatever bs.  Just saying what had happened last season and what kind of squad they're having right now...  And it is deep.  I mean am I wrong?  And It would be hilarious if they could get another treble back to back.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Omg that would be funny.

But I would agree that the line being at 1.73 this early in the season has no value and betting on it would totally make no sense as an outright bet.

If I remember correctly, before the start of the season when City’s hegemony was undisputed, City’s quotes were approximately 1.7 (or slightly less). Now, after KDB was injured and does not play, after City, after the easiest part of the championship, found themselves only in 3rd place, their quotes have fallen only quite a bit. This seems illogical to me. There are games ahead with direct competitors, and based on the logic of the bookmakers, what should be the odds, for example, for the game City - Liverpool? 1.5 - 3.5 - 6.4? LOL
If so then of course i will bet against City.

If those are the odds then it is logical to bet against them.They are showing signs of weakness in these last two games that they lost in a row and add to them their loss in the cup with Newcastle things does not look well for them.They are lucky that they have 2 weeks time because of International break during this week otherwise I don't know what would have happened next.

For Liverpool though I am quite a bit disappointed as they were winning against Brighton and could not hold up and if they cannot hold up against Brighton then most likely they cannot hold up against City.

But if you think this way, it turns out that if City could not resist Wolves and Arsenal, then they will not be able to resist Liverpool  Cheesy

Is that the outrights for winning the league?  I'd say the books got it right.  City's squad is deep and that will come into play when the other clubs start fading in the final stretch of the season.  Remember last year when everybody thought that Arsenal was gonna get the EPL trophy?  City just kept at it and won the League, the FA Cup and the UCL.  And if anything I'd say gamble on Klopp and Liverpool at that line.  They have the grit to push on through.  If they could get it together, they could win imho.

Yes. Yes, everyone knows the advantages of the City, but they also have disadvantages. And I don't think the difference between City and everyone else is the same as in the Bundesliga where Bayern can win the title by giving their opponents almost any head start at the start of the tournament. There are decisive games ahead, let's see if the bookmakers are right.

...Manchester City 1.73

Arsenal 5.00

Liverpool 6.50

Tottenham Hotspur 13.00

City, after the easiest stretch of 8 games, ended up in 3rd place, but at the same time is rated better than Arsenal, which is ahead.
A bit unfair.
City have won 5 of the last six EPL campaigns all those times not being top throughout the competition, but they somehow find a way to win at the end of it all and come in clutch at the tail end of the season while other clubs start to get shaken up a little. It has just been 9 games and they are still favorites to win the league as it stands and will still be favorites if this is the standing after 19 games.

It is a marathon and City are the best at it in the league with their immense squad depth. Although their depth is heavily dependent on the presence of Rodri, who they have not been able to replace. They have either drawn or lost all the games he did not play in and he certainly cannot play all the games.
That will be a real headache for Pep.

There is no reason why we should remember Arsenal as I think Arsenal underestimated their weak opponents during the last stage of the season and they are the first one for me to not repeat them this season at all cost.That is why no matter how deep the City squad is if any team beside Arsenal who is doing well does not underestimate their opponents I would say that the books got it completely wrong this time and I would bet on Arsenal as that 5 odd looks extremely good right now while why would anyone risk such a long season on a 1.73 odd for City I don't get it.
