I think one month is enough time for improving a team,it is all in the hands of the coach and how much of his mentality he can instill into the players.Another thing is how much this coach can harmonize this team in order to achieve his desired way of game play which according to him will translate into good results throughout the season.

Personally I think Chelsea will improve and I also think that this upcoming season their main objective should be to achieve a spot in the Champions League for the next season,a Champions League without Chelsea sounds a bit strange for this upcoming season.

I meant with transfers - not with training and mentality. They are incredibly weak in midfield and all of their CF/ST options are either young and unproven or simply not good enough.

They are good on the flanks - both defensively and offensively - but without 2 new starting midfielders I think they won't be able to cope. Their midfielders are currently Fernandez, Santos, Gallagher and Chukwuemeka - sounds like Fulham, not Chelsea.

I don't trust Chelsea at all. I think they lack balance and experience and expect more of the same from them in the next season.

I think they'll challenge for the EL spot but eventually end up outside the european spots again.

They still have a month to improve the team though - but if they don't I just don't see them improving much.

True, we lack experience, but if we could get Moises Caicedo in the midfield and Kudus on the left, I believe we could compete, but I wouldn't put us on the same level as the top 4 right now. We had just wiped out our team, and it would take some time to reassemble it.

Chelsea now only rely on what its gonna and what can do Pochettino with this team, based in all the winter transfer from last season, if you see this summer windows transfer from Chelsea its pretty bad, they only buy Nkuku and Nicolas Jackson, Nkuku can be a good forward from them.

But well Chelsea maybe only needs a wash of face and some self trust.

Both are world class but we still need to strengthen the middle and the wings to create more chances for both of them.

Lower number of players actually means lower competition, but I like it when it's crowded in here.

I marketed it a bit in our BSFL thread, will do so again before the season begins.

I'm sure we'll get last year's numbers and am always happy when we pay the entrance fees in bear markets Grin

My perfect number for pools is around 20 people. Big enough to have proper rivalry and conversations while small enough to make it a bit easier to finish in the top positions.

That being said, I believe we should have last year numbers again. Old players are mostly staying while we always get some new blood.

Watching those friendly games in USA and Arsenal is looking dangerous, Chelsea also looking much better than last season. We all know City is gonna be good now we just have to see what happens with Liverpool and United. Could be a cracking season.

3 people I messaged so far have said would join (and I see both posting here in the past day) and all had no idea it was going on, EPL/La Liga/Serie A, so I don't think it's a lack of interest, just not very easy to follow. Had to reply back with more info, sharing links...

I will message more (I was going off memory) but we probably should spread awareness, and maybe update OP with current info and signup thread? It's easy for us regulars, maybe less so for those not following daily (even I only remembered yesterday).

Not sure what to tell you. I was disgusted with how our midfield performed last season, but to be honest they have been run to the ground the one before that and the break was short.

It looks like we're throwing away this season in order to be more prepared for the next one, and I'm furious when top teams do that. Time will tell tho, if the new players gel quickly we will get into the CL spots.

It would have been s different, I felt that too, had the players just been given a break. City played the same number of games last season as we did the previous one and Pep said how tired they were -- imagine how our press and midfield would be at half the depth of City.

Anyway, the further this mid-season progresses the more I believe also this is the season of rebuild. I ca't see us chasing titles with this squad, no matter how talented, they simply need team-time together first

I'm going to pay my join up fees soon; for now, I'm simply tossing money at some random idiotic teams; if I showed you my betting history, you'd undoubtedly stone me to death. Grin

I am not going to show you mine as I am sure I would need to be punished harder that stoned to death Grin

.Many have tried before me I think that by betting on tennis games with odds of a maximum 1.19 chances would have been high to win a lot of money yet I placed a 7 leg parlay with such odds only to see that I lost this,I tried to emulate back it as I thought it was just pure bad luck only to find out that in tennis is pretty f*cked up much more than in soccer and I have difficulties to understand it,but yeah I need a higher punishment as I don't think you bet on such low odds.

I thought I was the most irresponsible gambler till I saw someone's ticket on one of the tennis picks telegram groups I follow; the idiot bet $2k (local fiat) on a single 1.06 live bet odd and lost; the moron has been crying and begging for help to recover some of the money. To make matters worse, he claimed the money was his mum life savings Grin

.

These days, the smaller the odd, the riskier it is; I've been in your 1.19 ACCA shoe countless times and lost as well.

KTChampion needs to have some penalty points if he decides to join. At least 20 points penalty for him. Do we all agree with it? I will pay for him if he decides to starts from 20 points behind LOL

He's running out of luck this season trust me. Grin

Klopp is not a cruel man, but a hard boss. He doesn't lie about minutes, and these players want minutes -- I actually think the Gulf challenge is even more interesting from a sporting perspective than MLS. I say Fabinho is next.

I remember what Lewandowski said in an interview about this.
Lewa, who has experienced training and being coached by Klopp, said that he was a two-faced coach and put him as his favorite coach after that Pep.
It's not without reason that he said that, because he can be like a father figure who can provide a sense of warmth but on the other hand he can also be a disciplined manager and tend to be harsh.

The season that has ended can be said he stumbled because he failed to be in the position that Liverpool always gets (Champions League zone) but now with the new season of course he doesn't want to repeat the same thing.
Currently the midfield overhaul or can be said to regenerate with some younger players will certainly make Klopp more confident to navigate the season.

Yeah, with the quality these guys are pushing there, I'm sure it'll be more interesting than MLS next season, but I'm curious how long this will last. Russia did it, China did it, and they all failed to keep these players after 2-3 seasons, with some of the Chinese clubs running into debt and being forced to sell off players. Will the Saudis be any different?

I am going to pay on August 9 most likely the full amount or maybe even on August 2 depending on my situation so consider me as always to be taking part and paying like I have always done,since I am here I want to ask if I can pay like last time 0.00125 Bitcoin on August 2-3 and 0.00125 Bitcoin on August 9-10,as far as I know the Premier League starts on August 12 so it should be possible to be doing again two half payments,let me know though?

On a side note it is going to be an awesome new season as most teams are doing good transfers during summer with Arsenal being at the top for me this time,maybe they want to win the Premier League title this year.

I think we would have been better this year, but I do support that Milner was allowed to leave and I hope Fabinho goes too.

Hendo is a tricky one - he had a bad season but I would have kept him. Influential player, hard working guy, decent player as well.

I feel we've changed too much and although I do like both Szoboszlai and MacAllister, I do think it will leave us vulnerable in midfield on occasions, especially since Trent will move there often as well.
If we do get Lavia, he won't fill the gap - he's too inexperienced to cover that space in a top team.

I feel we also need a more defensive RB option and another CB - Matip is done, Dijk is playing like Sakho, Gomez was always a liability and Konate I simply can't stand.

It looks like we're throwing away this season in order to be more prepared for the next one, and I'm furious when top teams do that. Time will tell tho, if the new players gel quickly we will get into the CL spots.

Sorry I hadn't paid (I honestly thought I did, some misplaced memory recreated itself). Then I saw the Superbru invite from Liverpool fans ( I join anyway to see how I rank outside of this pool) and remembered, then saw I'd somehow missed all of these updates. Might a reminder to past pool players help? Pretty certain some just forgot (like me). And a link to signup thread in OP? =)

Oh and image needs replacing in OP Wink

Quote from: hilariousandco on July 04, 2023, 07:25:00 AM

Maybe the first few when we only had 20 users or so. It was 0.0025 last year and the World Cup pool was 0.002 but we're getting 0.2 in sponsorship compared to nothing when we first started. £60 is still a bargain when there's a chance to 3 mBTC Free Bet each week and 0.1 for first place.

From nothing, to something small, to something not at all small, it's come a long way. Can we toast everyone who's part of this, ey? Wink

Something tells me $70 isn't going to really affect participation.
