Decided to watch Nottingham Forest game but hmm not so good for Liverpool at half time? I was so surprised Trent didn't play again in choice of Milner, he was used two times as sub so why not play him against promoted side?

I haven't locked my picks yet but I'm thinking of picking a Chelsea win for this huge game today. I just want to act with my intuitions for this challenging game honestly. Chelsea have improved their results quite much lately. It looks like things are going on better with Potter for now. The point loss against Brentford was a surprise to me but their effort was still not poor there.

When it comes to Manchester United they have done a really good job in big games so far. However we haven't seen them winning this kind of a game as the away team. We all remember how Manchester City destroyed them in Etihad.  Grin  I don't compare Chelsea to them of course but I just think that Manchester United will have problems in Stamford Bridge. I wouldn't pick a comfortable win like 2-0 etc. for Chelsea either of course.

United have won all their games against the big clubs except City which is actually beyond a big club for 5 seasons. Chelsea have lost Kante for basically the whole season which is really sad also because I support France in WC as second choice to Spain!

A 1 - 1 will make you happy. I can not remember what my pick in this match. I always find it difficult to pick a draw and even when I pick I never get the correct one LOL

points make me happy, I don't care which team wins here Wink

So, what happens to Countinho now that Steven Gerrard has left? Steven was the only one who remained hopeful and attempted to resurrect his career, and he turned down offers from other clubs to play for Villa because of S. Gerrard.

No idea, but yeah they kind of ran him ragged at Villa, he was not only hard running, he was twisting all over the place way too often and way too desperately. Felt so bad for him.

I am usually against manager changes but this one was sort of necessary. It is not just the bad results but total lack of ideas going forward. Villa under Gerard is one of the most boring clubs in Premier League and I avoided their games on purpose.

Yesterday's game against Fulham was just the last drop to push owners into action.

Same here, manager changes not my style, at least not so fast, but I can't really fault this one either. He was given the transfers he asked for -- Villa still played good football though I thought when I watched... just tried to rely on only one or two creative outlets named Coutinho.

^  Yup...  It's almost like they don't have an identity if you watch how they play.  I'm a Gerrard fan and I like that he was loyal to Liverpool during his playing days.  But seeing him as manager and how his Villa squad plays like is a good thing because it almost felt like he's the next in line to be LFC manager after Klopp.  They dodged a bullet there imho.

Who knows what Gerrard can bring to Liverpool?As an ex player I am sure his motivation to managing Liverpool would be at least several times higher than managing Aston Villa,for him Aston Villa was a learning experience which lasted as it lasted but a few things I am sure Gerrard has learned there.

In fact I would like to see someone from Liverpool managing the team,and I would not be sad if Gerrard took over,I think Klopp era has ended in the sense that he has got nothing more to give to the club,for this year this comes especially more true than ever.

I still think Gerrard wasn't quite ready, as I am sure I mentioned last season. I was of course happy for him when he took Villa, and it seemed initially pretty much a match made in heaven, and I know Klopp also eyes him as a successor (if not immediately, then spiritually).

Him helming Liverpool I believe is what the fans and club want, but they all know it's not going to be for a while more. Experience, wisdom, you can only buy those with time.

I haven't locked my picks yet but I'm thinking of picking a Chelsea win for this huge game today.

I don't care who else is winning and who else is losing today. Maybe I will wish for the teams who are above Liverpool on the table lose points but that's impossible wish. City is going to destroy Brighton to recover the point they lost in the last match against Liverpool. Whatever it is, I am off to watch Liverpool starting in 15 minutes. Lets make it a 0 - 8 🤣

United vs Chelsea is the one everyone needs to surprise us though, and not with 0-0!! I have BTTS and since we have no Ronaldo playing I think the team will be very very different style.

I wouldn't mind a surprise, in a different way, I went for a Liverpool win of course but if I lose and everyone else loses (like what happened with brighton lol) then I don't mind.
I don't think anyone is going for even a draw in the match except I saw few members who take the whole lot of risk and always go with underdog. Surprisingly they are doing well on the pool overall. For example buwaytress but it's Liverpool and I know for sure he will not do anything against the team he likes the most 🤣

I was wondering why he was benched again after starting last week but I guess he didn't learn his lesson and was being a drama queen behind the scenes. Shame, because this could all affect his World Cup performance as that's less than a month away now. I'll be starting a pool for the World Cup soon so keep an eye out for that over in games and rounds but I'll link it here also when it goes live.

Maybe there were no problems/scandals inside the locker room, Ronaldo just didn't fit into the game plan against Tottenham. I think Ronaldo will leave United in the winter and this drama will end.
Good news about the pool! I will definitely take part in it (although now I look at the schedule and have no idea how to predict games like Qatar - Ecuador or Tunisia - Australia  Grin ).

There is a huge problem going on behind the scenes, Ronaldo is still pissed about not getting a move in the summer, and the limited playing time isn't helping the situation for a man who is about to play his final World Cup, he's trying to send a message to the coach that he deserves to play, but this isn't the best way to do it, I understand his frustration, but no player is bigger than the club.

The World Cup pool will only last 30 days, it will be exciting and competitive. When it's official, someone should tag me to the thread..  @hilariousetc

Well done, Woodie! Was a tough round but I'm "pleased" it was not a high points total, so leaves guys like me not too far behind.

Did not r

A bit of a downer today as Villa sacked Stevie G. I really, really wanted him to do well, obviously, plus I liked Villa a lot (them losing me a lot of money this season in betting is proof haha). Will be tough after such heights at Rangers to such lows at Villa.

Next manager bets anyone?

I honestly didn't see this one coming; he did well last season, and they played some of the best football in the league; I didn't expect things to turn out this way, but 6 losses in 11 games is unacceptable, and their offense is sackable. So, what happens to Countinho now that Steven Gerrard has left? Steven was the only one who remained hopeful and attempted to resurrect his career, and he turned down offers from other clubs to play for Villa because of S. Gerrard. Everyone is aware of what happened to R. James following Ancelloti's departure from Everton.

At the moment, I am not aware of any potential candidates; perhaps it is time for John Terry.

Yesterday's game against Fulham was just the last drop to push owners into action.

expected more from them, but Villa ambitions are probably above results in last few seasons
Fulham is playing above my expectations, somehow saw them as candidates for relegation, and they are pretty decent

all interesting matches this round will be on Saturday, at least from my side, hopefully we will be able to win over Palace and end down three lose strike

Finally, my first yellow cap and it didn't even bump me several places up as I thought it would Roll Eyes, I guess the competition in this pool is outrageous and needs one to be on top of their game to be among the top.

Btw congrats to all other yellowcap holders for GW12 Cool
Congrats to you as well and more to come, it sucks that having a default prediction on superbru restricts you from getting the yellow cap for that round.

I thought i'd have a bad result this week but it turned out great in the end and climbed even further in the leaderboards. Grin

Aston villa just dosent have such a good team they will fight really hard not to get relegated this season,Gerrard probobly wont last until winter transfer window if he continues like this. Also another solid week for me and i keep gaining on that first place each round so pretty satisfied with 8th place so far.

What a bore fest in Premier League tonight. Don't remember when was the last time we had so little goals in a match day. Most of the games finishing 1:0 and only United looking like they actually want to score. Could have been even bigger win for them tonight. Spurs looking really bad and they can only than Lloris for being just 2:0 down.

My tickets in shambles of course, as expected when both to score fails as miserably as today.

Yeah, there were surprisingly few goals. I expected Liverpool and Newcastle to win by 2 or 3 and both ended 1-0.

Ronaldo is out from Manchester squad for this weekend, but could be permanent as well, due to Tottenham match behavior and leaving stadium early
it is a shame that they could not keep it together, and it could be seen quotes all over twitter regarding Fergusson biography, where he wrote that no player is bigger than the United

elsewhere, Fulham and Leicester are up 2:0 both

The odd of Liverpool being so low is a clear indication that everyone is expecting a convincing win from them.It is crucial that they win this game in order to continue their good run.West Ham is not in their best form especially after not getting a win last weekend,I doubt they will be of any threat to Liverpool tonight.I think a convincing 2-0 for Liverpool,all the pool is widely expecting a Liverpool win and also all of the bookies are also waiting the same.I know that Premier League is full of surprises but I doubt we will have one in the Liverpool game.
The match was close even though we were better in every sector of the match than West Ham. But we failed to score more. Imagine if the penalty was scored LOL.

Congratulations on your first yellow cap,I know that feeling,it is a great feeling
I am not sure if I will ever be able to feel it LOL
Congratulations Woodie from number 32 🤣
