Brentford are quickly becoming our bogey team, although we've been awful all season. I didn't catch the game unfortunately, but it sounds like we've been absolutely awful since the world cup, just as we were before it.
We showed some performance against Aston Villa in the first match after World cup. Nunez's miss chances did not look that important because in the match we always was ahead. But the last two matches obviously were different. It makes me angry.
 
I am still hooked because of the position on the pool. If it was like the World cup prediction pool, leading from the bottom part of the pool then I would give up to follow the season anymore and scheduled my time for CL only, wast of time. But anyway, I enjoyed Utd match. I had a 3 - 0 to win for them and when Rashford scored the third goal, I was like don't score anymore boys, pass the balls to each others and spend rest of the 10 minutes maximum including the extra time.

In the Arsenal vs Newcastle match I was stupid not to change it to a draw. I had 1 - 1 in mind but since whenever I pick a draw which I hardly do, I find myself picked the wrong leg so I gave the advantage to the home team. Regret.


If there are 2 Yellow Cap winners in a given Round, they both win the prize.

That was generous from Sportsbet as always.

Superbru's website is totally a garbage put together Roll Eyes

I opened flashscore on two different browsers and my phone to double check if I was dreaming or some shit lol





Meanwhile Brighton is totally trashing Everton around. Lampard got alot of things to handle if he wants to survive the relegation zone by the end of the season

That was like vintage Brighton from this season's performance, they've struggled a bit in their last few matches but the trashing of Everton in such a manners is what I didn't see coming...

Arsenal vs Newcastle playing goalless draw is bad for me, due to my FPL I done have any Arsenal players and there a lot of team consisting of just Arsenal and Newcastle defense, that gives both side a huge point, 1-1 draw would have been a perfect result for me, and how was the handball in the dying minutes against Newcastle wasn't awarded as a penalty ?

Congrats mate. Frankly, I was expecting for a Liverpool match in which Nunez puts on a good show. If he was able to score a goal there at the beginning of the match then maybe everything might have changed. I was thinking that we could see the Liverpool of the recent years after the World Cup break. However there is a Liverpool that can't play an efficient game in even the matches they win. If they go on like this their job against Real Madrid would be very difficult.

Thanks, it pays to bet against Liverpool this season. We concede quite often, and basically to teams with the same playstyle - that play a lot of direct balls into the box.
Just look how many chances Brentford created from the same crosses. We could have easily conceded 5 goals.

We defended such teams way better before when we pressed higher and did not give them enough time to make quality passes - now we give therm plenty time on the ball and then struggle with clearances.

I am going with a big bet on Brentford not losing today. The odds are great, Liverpool was horrible against Leicester, while Brentford played a really good game against West Ham.

I even placed a bet on Brentford winning the game, the odds are @ 5.7. Looks like value, and if I lose I'll still be happy because Liverpool won Grin

I didn't catch the game unfortunately, but it sounds like we've been absolutely awful since the world cup, just as we were before it. Weird, not sure why we're struggling this bad. I mean, injuries, and aging players sure, but I find it hard to believe a team that was on the top of the world, is struggling this bad. I would consider our team, despite a little light in areas better than a lot of the teams we've lost against.

I think I'm going to write this season off, and hopefully we get it together before the next season.

Damn, I should've taken Brentford draw no bet at 3.90 anyway even though I lost my Spurs and Chelsea parlay...  I just watched a bit of the replay and could say that it will prolly be Liverpool's worst performance of the season.  I think it's time for Klopp to go talk to the LFC brass and ask for a budget for a midfield upgrade.  Prolly even raiding his old club BVB for Jude Bellingham..?  Would love to see that guy back with a big club.  Wink

Anyway does anybody else have connection problems with Superbru?  It's being weird again.

Mmm no, works fine for me, are you using the app or the normal web?.

Today matches are really good, but Arsenal Newcastle caguht all the lights, no matter the result it can be a very important one for eachone.

If Arsenal lose can be a punch in their way, and Newcastle can close the gap and also finally say "im here". And city seeing all from outside waiting.

Newcastle wasn't bad in that game against Leeds, they just did not manage to score. Everyone here is talking about attack but these 2 clubs also have very good defensive records. I see the game today as low scoring draw. In other words 0:0 or 1:1, can't even play both to score on this one. I will probably skip it for high stake and play half time or full time draw on some low stake ticket.
They have conceded three goals in their last two games against a weak attacking team ( Westham and Fulham). Do you believe Arsenal's defense will be able to stop Newcastle's powerhouse? I've got 1-2 CS in the pool ( Arsenal to win)

Newcastle is showing good performance this season and is among the top leaders of the Premier League for this season. His match tonight will be a real test against Arsenal, who lead the standings by 7 points from last season's champions City. I don't think Arsenal will drop more points despite Jesus' absence tonight.
^^
That's why my expectation will also be like you in the pool.
The Arsenal team has nothing to prove anymore; this is just another game in which they will dominate. The team was not built around G. Jesus, so his absence has no effect on the team; there is no target man in the team, they have been playing as a team.


Although it is still early, Arsenal does not appear to be backing down, and Manchester City, the only team closing in, is gradually losing ground. Is it finally returning to North London?

All eyes will be on the Arsenal - Newcastle game today. After drawing at home against Leeds, Newcastle will feel a bit of pressure - they need a decent result tonight.
Arsenal was dominant against Brighton in a high scoring game, I expect the same type of performance. They are still without Jesus but their offense is really playing well without him.

I'm really interested to see Newcastle in a high pressure game like this. Today will be the first glimpse of how they will react at the end of the season in their top 4 battle when the stakes are raised.

I hope Arsenal win today, but Newcastle's unbeaten streak is also impressive. If we take the games among the tops, then Newcastle played 3-3 with City (then it was still an surprising result, since Newcastle did not play in the best way). Most likely today there will be BTTS Yes, and Arsenal will win with a minimal advantage.

I agree and I have gone with 2-1 most common result in the pool for Arsenal but I am afraid that Newcastle would play rather defensively as 1 point to them would do better than 0 and thus they know that if they try to attack Arsenal by leaving spaces behind they have no escape but they will concede goals.That is my only concern because Arsenal is a great team with a lot of scoring capability but most likely we are over estimating Newcastle just because of the results they have got so far without losing from a long time.

I think the fact that they could not score against Leeds says a lot about what to expect in tonight game,for me an Arsenal win.I don't know if it will be an easy win or a suffered win but I am sure in the end Arsenal will win this game,this will also serve to them as a great motivation booster if they manage to beat a team like Newcastle which has not lost a game I don't remember since when.

Newcastle maybe trying to get a point here tonight so most probably they would be defending rather than attacking and trying to profit from some killer counterattacks.

This was a perfect example of the game were possession gets you nothing, [...] fast players up front to catch Liverpool high line, very simple and very effective against this Liverpool.
It's an easy tactic against Liverpool. Few days ago someone were saying something that Liverpool defense is poor and they know it that's why they are always into score more but it eventually create counter attack situations. Liverpool concede goals. The number of opportunity Nunez gets if he can capitalize even half of them then opponents will be in pressure. Game plan changes. But like you said, it seems we are cursed now.

This season I think for them is already over in the Premier League so whatever happens happens.
At least CL qualification is not over but the way we are progressing, who knows may be next year I will have to watch CL without Liverpool.

On that pic I got 2nd position behind mole, and in the table, the yellow cap belongs to him lol Undecided Technically I dont win the cap yet until the round 19th.

Still a very strong performance jayce!
I didn't know about the current yellow hat until your post here.

Means we did good this time and we (or I) even won something (50$ free bet), right? Grin
Today's tips I have sent extra thoughtful because from now on I want to win regularly.
Luckily you found it, or the freebet would be expired at the time you figure out Grin  Congrats buddy!


I myself feel in tonight game, Brentford could get draw result against Liverpool.
I was about to put draw result but in the minutes before kick off when I was submitting my predictions, I checked the line-up and saw Toney isn't there, so I chose Liverpool to win instead. Have nothing to be disappointed on but Gakpo could regret his decision lol.

Brentford simply repeated the same performance from last season and have deserved their win. It is crazy how we can't cope with defending set pieces - especially against a team playing on the edge of what's allowed.

It is a shame about today's result - we were in a good series of results. We did not play good enough in these games that we won though - so today the luck ran out.

Back to the drawing board - we're shit this season.

Dang so technically you have never won any yellow cap so far despite that you have taken the top spot.

Anyway, I was expecting Brentford to hold Liverpool by getting a draw but it seems they were good though to be able to score 2 goals on the 1st half. I got myself a 3 way acca including Brentford to either win or draw so yeah 2 more to go for my ticket

It is almost like he is cursed.

Gotta agree with you on this, he was great but then somehow this guy just cant score anymore
