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 😅
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!
So many cleansheets coming this gameweek which is unexpected, will this continue..let's wait and see 👀

^ 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!

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.
Enjoy the freebet and share @xLays!
Today's match looks like we will also lose points at Manchester United, even though I hope they don't follow in the footsteps of Manchester City and Chelsea this week but seeing the match that is currently taking place I am starting to try not to expect more for this match because Mancehster United's performance is still the same where they are still quite bad for their finishing.
But there is still time left now although we should try to lower our expectations if Mancehster United's attack is still the same as in the first half.
Ya, good on you, take advantage of the luck because football is round.
Now actually I'm curious, is VAR allowed to intervene for things like that?

Good luck to you and Arsenal, don't make it easy for Liverpool 
Hahaha but the decision is irreversible and 3 points for Arsenal in this match.Today's match looks like we will also lose points at Manchester United, even though I hope they don't follow in the footsteps of Manchester City and Chelsea this week but seeing the match that is currently taking place I am starting to try not to expect more for this match because Mancehster United's performance is still the same where they are still quite bad for their finishing.

Congrats to xLays for winning the Round 21 Yellow Cap
Finally after 21 rounds the yellow cap is mine! Hoping for more yellow cap to come! lol Good thing Brighton goal G. Rutter scored in the 82nd minute otherwise, I wouldn’t have won the yellow cap for the first time. mole0815 would have taken the yellow cap if Rutter didn’t score.
This tournament still has a long way to go; we’re only halfway through. For sure a lot will still change on the leaderboard. Thanks Sportsbet.io and goodluck everyone for the next round!

And from no where, Amad saves the day with a hat trick. I didn't expect this happening and at the time that it did, I initially thought I was losing the points as man united were losing and from nowhere Amad did his thing. United are always known for comeback so that's that. About the Chelsea performance, I have being so disappointed at Chelsea performances, I didn't expect them to throw away their chances of being in the title conversation as they have done. Enzo Maresca needs to return back to the engine room/drawing board because something is definitely wrong somewhere. For a team that has being playing well to all of a sudden go out of form, something is definitely wrong somewhere.
January 16, 2025, 05:05:51 PM
Mainly, because I don't like United one bit and actually like Arsenal.
Haters detected
Hattrick in less than 15 minutes from Diallo saves the day
What a game though I thought we would be losing another round and not gonna lie, I know we were going to win after that 1st goal. manchester United is always on steroid after they score the first goal for some reason.
Picked the exact goal for this as well, this actually saved my ass from the wooden spoon

FML and F this pool xLays 13 points and me just 7, I did go back into top 10 but I have a bad feeling this is temporary. Shaizer.
It will be my worst week if Tottenham end up making a breakthrough in this match but fortunately it seems like Arsenal will try to maintain their current 2-1 lead especially now that the match has started to enter the vulnerable extra time.
It's been a wonderful week where even clubs that were predicted to win easily have had results go against them and yesterday I didn't even get a single point from the Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal matches which makes it a bit painful.
Bad luck for me. I don't know if Arsenal deserved the win, it seems there wasn't that much domination, and you have to factor in that the own goal came from a corner that supposedly was wrongly given, I feel like I've been robbed from a point in BSFL lol
Good luck to you and Arsenal, don't make it easy for Liverpool

Shaizer.Come on man. Everybody dropping points, if Arsenal don't know how to catch up with this gift, then its all over for them. I do really want Tottenham to win tho because of BSFL 
Never again, it would be bad luck for me if Tottenham managed to win or draw this match.It will be my worst week if Tottenham end up making a breakthrough in this match but fortunately it seems like Arsenal will try to maintain their current 2-1 lead especially now that the match has started to enter the vulnerable extra time.

I really needed/wanted Arsenal to knock out United (despite picking the upset in BSFL, but that was a hedge). Mainly, because I don't like United one bit and actually like Arsenal. But more importantly, to keep them preoccupied from a full-on attack on the Prem title. Now it's just UCL to distract them. If it weren't for Saka/Jesus out long-term, I would be very afraid.
I think being in multiple competitions actually fuels the big teams to push harder. Smaller teams struggle with multiple cup engagements but big clubs thrive on it and exiting multiple cups has a demoralizing effect, If we had a full squad, I will rather remain in both the FA and EFL cup, hoping that will spur us in the EPL.Great win last night against Tottenham, they do not play at our level.

Forest vs Liverpool match was still lucky to guess 1-1 with 1.5pts - and there were 7 people who guessed the score perfectly in this match.Chelsea and Manchester City are true clown clubs, their matches are unpredictable. I know I was expecting more at home but this was a big disappointment.
For Manchester City and Chelsea it was really chaotic but it was also quite difficult to find a solution because there are always unexpected situations because they are unpredictable.
This week there are 2 matches left and one of them is Manchester United, hopefully they don't follow suit and become another clown this week.

Oh man, I totally failed and I didnt post any predictions in superbru Premier League website this time 
I knew matches are going to be played, btu I have busy schedule and I thought that I already sent my picks.
I am really surprised to see Liverpool and Man City not winning their matches, and I have to say that I am impressed with Nottingham once again.
Great coach Espirito Santo had to bring the players and supporters on ground because they already started dreaming about fight for the title.

To me, it's more of a striker converting or being converted to a winger, with some going to CB and others willingly changing to LWF/RWF because those positions are in high demand. Players like G. Jesus and Nkunku wander around without knowing which position they like.
Pep false 9 invention thing with Barcelona ruined the natural 9 thing forever.

I always think Guardiola do more harm than good to the football in the overall equation, he do one of the best football ever made? YES, b ut also killed the footbal in a few ways with that way of playing and the idiots who think they can copy paste the system with any player.
The basic concept behind the 4-3-3 formation (false 9) was to provide Messi enough space inside the box while also adding more creativity in the midfield (with Fabregas as false 9). Spain won the World Cup with the same formation, which revolutionised the game forever.
The traditional RB and LB is also fading out for the RWB and LWB system.
We are at the final phase of traditional strikers on the market.

I knew they were gonna do badly when the coach said we cannot win the title and they were only down by 2 points. If they continue like this they might not even get a champions league spot. Was expecting an easy win from them but they just keep slipping up. Wierd subs and not a good squad i think this is all coaches fault because they didnt win
Wasn't the right thing to do, was fun at first but the negative impact has been huge and we went from catching up with Loserpool to dangling at the edge of top 4. Words are powerful.
When you have a striker who hasn't scored against Fulham, Everton , Ipswich, Crystal Palace, and now Bounemouth in our last 5 games then you're in a bigger trouble. We need to throw everything at Isak in the summer..
Come on man. Everybody dropping points, if Arsenal don't know how to catch up with this gift, then its all over for them. I do really want Tottenham to win tho because of BSFL
Not dropping 12 points from possible 15 in the last 5 games. BSFL or Not I'm always against Arsenal.

That was the funniest thing to say. He should have just avoided it. OC most managers would never say anything about them not having any chances unless they were Pep but I always thought that was a weird thing to say when their team needs confidence. I have a bad feeling they gonna get another replacement before season ends!!
Going from title contenders to missing out on the Top 4 at the end of the season will be devastating, especially for Palmer, who deserves better.
We're losing and this fraud sub in a CB!!! Danm it.

Enzo Mascara is a fraud- I now see why he almost blew Leicester City's 30-point lead last season with his near-success syndrome. The bald happily watches Jackson every week, missing 1000 chances while we have Felix and Nkunku on the bench. When I thought we had finally found a manager, I had no idea he was a blatant fraud.
