Yup. So bad... Lol. And the funny thing is they paid a lot of money to get Felix on loan and see him get a red card in his debut. Cheesy

Nunez Darwin was also sent off in his debut match, if I recall correctly. Shit happens.

Quote from: tokeweed on January 13, 2023, 10:32:17 AM

In hindsight the Chelsea brass might have been too harsh in deciding giving Tuchel the sack after like just a couple of losses. Potter has what rn? 4 losses in the league? And they've never looked worse.

Are we always going to fire coaches when the players don't perform well? It's time to start firing underperforming players rather than the coach, and it's time to limit the power of the players. and let it be known that the team started declining under Tuchel, he complained about the squad quality as well, but we thought he was joking when he said few players are not qualified to play at this level.

Put Pep in this team and nothing changes; put Messi and Ronaldo in this current Chelsea team and they will struggle.

Still doesn't justify Felix's red card in his debut imho.

And yup, I feel you there. Tuchel shouldn't have been given the sack too early. He should've been given a huge budget to raid BVB. Lol.

Anyway... Anybody watching the Manchester derby? I feel like there's gonna be some lol moments with Mahrez that could cause United to get one in before City does. There was already a couple of times when he seems not to be all there and has given up the ball easy or made a wrong pass.

United 1 - 0 isn't really out of order imo. You just feel it when City plays like how they're playing rn.

^ Derby day and yeah, I like United a lot now, but 4/1 is not good enough for me to think they can do an upset at home, even though the back of my mind says it smells like a value bet.

Instead, I'm taking Citeh too. Not ML though, they are leg 3/5 on my acca that went well (thanks Villa and Napoli).

Looking for a stream now. Good luck!

I've got Nunez on a lot for Brighton. He'll make good.

From what I've seen of Nunez, and that's not a lot this year. I actually quite like him, and reminds me of the earlier versions of Suarez, and Mane. Both were good players, worked hard for the team, but in the early seasons they couldn't hit a barn door from five meters away. I think he's just struggling to find that composure, but considering how young he is, and the fact the team itself isn't performing, he may be under a little more pressure than he will be once we've sorted out our problems.

I do like him, and won't be surprised when he does start scoring, and often.

Yes! Suarez and Mane indeed, I mentioned the former and it's easy to forget but these were all guys who didn't immediately settle. I can even remember Firmino taking a while to convince people (after all, he was a nobody from a small club). But they all display something really similar: hunger. I know it's Klopp's DNA anyway to get people who just want to play and are ravenous for pitch time (every new guy coming in has been just that mould).

And spot on, they were doing even worse from close range, and Nunez is younger, and under pressure to bang in the goals because the other team parts aren't doing well.

I'm backing him this game, but as long as we win.

We now have a top-of-the-table clash between City and United. I believe both teams will score. What are your thoughts?

That is my bet for this game. I really think United can make life though for the City this time but both teams should have more than enough fire power to score at least a goal each. By the way, this is perfect way to start Saturday for me with a Manchester derby.

After that we have Brighton - Liverpool game and this one should be full of goals. Liverpool is still good in attack but they have one of the worst defenses in the league. I am expecting at least 4 goals here and that is another both to score bet for me.

After so many consecutive bad results I finally managed to start the week with a correct score but I believe also many other people did the same for the yesterday game and went for an Aston Villa win 2-1 which was the main tip in every single page I searched for betting tips.I also won my bet as I did bet on both teams to score at 1.70,that come in really late into the game in 83th minute but that is the beauty of this kind of bet,you can win it anytime in the game so you are always waiting to see it happen,that is why I love this kind of bet lately.

You appear to have won your bet on the Aston Villa game. It can be fortunate when a bet pays off, especially if it is a bet in which you are confident. It's also fantastic that you won your bet on both teams scoring, as this can be a fun and exciting way to bet on a game. Because you can win at any point during the game with this type of bet, it can keep you engaged and invested in the game until the very end Grin

Manchester City almost 2x, that's the best bet of the day isn't it?

not so sure about it, I am going with United today, it is unpopular opinion, but United should be good to take at least point today

but, most important match for me today is Everton vs Southampton, we need a win over relegation rival to leave last three position, but that will be hard as hell - good news that Iwobi could be available today

2-1 is the main tip for probably 50% of games where there is a slim favorite and yet not quite a big distance between capability, which was what last night's game is all about.

Anyway, today I decided to switch my money from La Liga to Premier League, and if I win big today then I put it on my team to win Supercopa final.

Manchester City almost 2x, that's the best bet of the day isn't it?

Come one Chelsea, all the time I go for a win for them and they lose. Totally disappointed. I was at the top 10, now moved to 14th position. Let's see what Liverpool do today. These days it's risky to earn points with them too.

Nunez Darwin was also sent off in his debut match, if I recall correctly. Shit happens.

Yeah, I believe it was his debut where he tried to headbutt a player several times before actually getting sent off. Actually, it happens quite frequently in history where a player gets sent off on their debut. Not sure, why maybe the players are eager to impress, and as soon as they can't do what they want they get frustrated. Over excitement can also be a factor I suppose.

I remember being incredibly upset of him, and doubting him from then on wards because I didn't want someone in a Liverpool shirt demonstrating that type of attitude. I think he's largely controlled it since.

Continue to build the team ofcos and achieve good results. He is currently coaching players with big names and big contracts but low football IQ, a lesser team in terms of player quality than the current Brighton team.

He STARTs!!! I never imagined we'd be this bad and desperate, to the point where a player who arrived less than 78 hours ago is starting for us.

it is a desperate move, but in line with Chelsea scores lately, which puts them as main subject of Troll Football on Twitter
nevertheless, I think that Chelsea is going to win tonight, in a mid-table derby with Fulham

but not sure that Joao is going to have massive role in a win, if that happens

I was surprised to see Felix starting the game because I learnt that he picked up a knock in training or something of such, I'm of the opinion that Joao Felix will slot perfectly into Potter's plans and will be very vital in the coming games, but of course I might be wrong because premier league is completely different from what and the leagues he's been used to.

From the lineup, I think Chelsea's team still looks like the better team on paper, should get a win... I had 2-0 for Chelsea initially, before changing to 2-1 about an hour ago, but now I'm going to to revert back to my 2-0 prediction, Koulibaly and Thiago Silva pairing and Mitrovic absence is the final criteria for my decision.

Yeah guys, don't underestimate how bad this Chelsea side is at the moment. Still only half time and I just watched parts of the game with all the sports playing on the same time (Barca, Snooker Masters, Handball World Cup) but from what I have seen Fulham was much more dangerous. My prediction is 2:2 and I have both to score on my ticket so rooting for the Blues in the second half.

Giving a player that just came to the club a start just shows how bad things are at the moment. You can see from Felix movement and touches with the ball that he is class player, hopefully it will work both for him and and the club.

Yup. So bad... Lol. And the funny thing is they paid a lot of money to get Felix on loan and see him get a red card in his debut. Cheesy

In hindsight the Chelsea brass might have been too harsh in deciding giving Tuchel the sack after like just a couple of losses. Potter has what rn? 4 losses in the league? And they've never looked worse.

Anyway, I'm looking at draw no bet for United at 2.95 vs. City. Seems value and United has been looking good at home. City on the other hand could be suffering from player fatigue and sometimes Guardiola can't be trusted with his player selection. It's almost like he does it on the fly when some idea in his head pops up. Lol.

Edit: Have a feeling Hhampuz is taking United at 4.10 or something.

Quote from: tokeweed on January 12, 2023, 07:36:45 AM

^ Wtf. Lol... But it wasn't really just a B squad. It was a B+ squad. Grin

And it's prolly the hectic schedule of fixtures during the cold of winter taking its toll on the team. They went against Chelsea twice then Southampton all in a span of a week. I wonder what the line was for Southampton.

But yeah, Guardiola had to cos City is going against United this weekend. I wonder how the schedule is going to take its toll in this match. United at 4.20 could be value.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: they're professional athletes in peak physical form getting paid hundreds of thousands to kick a ball around a pitch for 90 minutes so they should be able to play 2 or even 3 games a week. Footballers will already be training twice a week anyway so I would have thought all they'll be doing is missing a training session and playing a match instead which I'm sure they'd all much rather do. I know people who play 5-a-side nearly every day of the week and they're not getting paid to do it so I don't think it's a big ask when teams have 2 games a week or sometimes 3 over 10 days or whatever. Some squad rotation is fine but don't just treat it as a friendly that you don't really care about and just to give some benchwarmers a run about.

Trofo cap! Nice!

Hard to write the script for Chelski. Old boy scores against them. New boy gets sent off. I got the full 3 points for the upset, but I didn't budge a single positions. Going to be a tough climb for me this pool!

Quote from: Welsh on January 12, 2023, 06:05:07 PM

Like I said, I fancied Fulham, and I fancy Brighton to either get the draw or win over Liverpool.

Chelsea are having a United/Ole or United/Moyes moment. Guy just taking too big a step up. All respect for Potter, and I'd always rated him but a megateam from the capital was a bit too much of a move. Made the same mistakes (taking up all his former staff and surrounding himself with them) when he needed people acclimatised to the top end of league.

I've got Nunez on a lot for Brighton. He'll make good.

He'll be back, he'll want to play so bad. I bet you, he, Bruno, Diogo are all going to try and flex (they're all different positions but can all play attacking midfield).

I think players aren't feeling safe with their positions as the club is making too many transfers such that it can't guarantee ones playing position for the long term.. Or possibly it's players showcasing (boycotting) what's happening at the club and they better fix this before its to late.

I think that they are just in a strike without an easy win, and this will change sooner than later
Chelsea has solid team, but some players are not in their best at the moment, manager is changing a lot, injuries overwhelmed them, and you can't expect more, since league is pretty strong atm, Fulham is playing above expectations atm

I fancy Fulham against Chelsea. I know it's easy to say that with Fulham up 1-0, but Chelsea, and Liverpool seem to be the teams to beat these days.

Form over fixture, tbh Fulham is just in superb form to give any team atm a good run for their money and unfortunately not even Chelsea had the firepower to stop the amazing Fulham.

Talking of poor performers, I think the smaller(weaker) teams have just gotten really good to the extent of making our big teams look average. As for the two named teams, I think it has to do with some internal issues that has affected the general performance and everyone is seeing through them by the poor performance on the pitch.

Quote from: Welsh on January 12, 2023, 04:09:10 PM

Despite, them having somewhat decent records in the last few seasons, something has definitely gone wrong with both teams.

Probably still nursing a hangover from the Christmas season...

Quote from: Welsh on January 12, 2023, 04:09:10 PM

I think with Liverpool the problems are obvious to everyone,and should hopefully be rectified in the summer,

Agreed! Mane left a void in the team that could never be filled and these guys better accept it, otherwise I see denial and tbh these guys haven't found their perfect replacement.. Nunez isn't just doing it for the Reds.

Quote from: Welsh on January 12, 2023, 04:09:10 PM

but for Chelsea, honestly I personally don't know what's the issue there. They've got a decent team, but they're just under performing. Reminds me a lot of United in the last couple of seasons. Wondering if there's issues going on behind the scenes.

I think players aren't feeling safe with their positions as the club is making too many transfers such that it can't guarantee ones playing position for the long term.. Or possibly it's players showcasing (boycotting) what's happening at the club and they better fix this before its to late.

So Fulham managed to repeat their historical achievement by getting 4 consecutive victories after so so many years without being able to do so.Chelsea was really in a bad day yesterday night,I thought when they equalized they were going to win the game but that new player that came here with all the hype,Joao Felix was the main responsible for Chelsea lost game yesterday as he got a red card which left Chelsea in a very difficult situation to deal with.Fulham took profit of such happenings and they won the game.Chelsea out of every European competition for the coming year most likely.

with all said, it is tempting to take @5 Chelsea to win, solid value in that looking at play in first half, Chelsea brought some play on the table, and Fulham just scored

I took Chelsea to win after Fulham scored though but the current score is 2-1 for Fulham, yikes Chelsea is so bad. on top of that, Joao Felis is such a joke though Roll Eyes

Debut match and ended up getting red card. Things just couldnt get better for chelsea at this point

In my opinion Joao Felix was rather just very unlucky with his tackle, because it was clear as day very unintended, and before the unfortunate incident he was the best Chelsea player on the pitch, so I can't help but feel for him, aside that Chelsea were absolutely shit, and every single player in their midfield should just be replaced, what the hell ?! Maybe indeed there is a curse on the club, because even the players they brought in to help make their situation have either turned out for the worse or sidelined with an injury.

Agree with this 100% and I just wrote something similar in FPL thread, this will be one though season for Chelsea.

More importantly I won a yellow cap Grin

If I am not mistaken I believe this is my first yellow cap in Premier League pool ever and I am playing for a long time. I wasn't even bad in some of the seasons it is just that competition is so strong in this pool it is virtually impossible to get. At least for me.

What a huge mistake by him. He wanted to join a big club so badly and will probobly get sacked real soon. With Brighton he could have done big things but i guess he wanted that big step that Chelsea had and it was a huge bite for him. This season might be over for Chelsea.
