Don't care. Putting whatever money left I can spare on Liverpool v City. 4/1. This was better odds than Community Shield.
Spoken like a true red. I'll never bet against Liverpool that's for sure. I did predict a draw the other day with the Arsenal game, that nearly came in. I'll be betting on a win for Liverpool, and nothing less on the weekend. My predictions themselves in the pool might be a little different. However, since I'm sliding down the leaderboard every week, I might as well chance it since most in the pool will be predicting a high scoring win for City.
At the end of the day, I love Klopp, and even if we had three seasons of this I wouldn't want him to leave. He did the impossible, and turned that side into a winning team. Alison scored a bloody header for Christ sake. So, I won't stop supporting the boys, Diaz is a massive loss, but I think the Trent injury might benefit us in the short term. Obviously, Trent is world class, but at the moment he's having a rough time. Gomez could potentially build some confidence in that position, and steady our defense a little.
Suffer us hopeless supporters, yeah? I've backed a Liverpool win betting, in pool, and in the 4-3-free Sportsbet freebet promo. What I have done different this time around is predict 2 goals for City, I usually pop in a clean sheet or single concession at worst. The pragmatist in me is awake...
And agree on Gomez, he's always been good for me, I feel like we'll miss Matip more than Diaz/Trent, but if it's Konate|VVD and then Gomez and Robbo, I'm very happy.
I'm sticking with Klopp too. Results aside, we're the team I always imagine us to be.
The big game to watch this weekend is obviously Liverpool V City, but is anyone backing an upset in the Man U v Newcastle game? Newcastle bagged 4 and 5 goals in the last two games and maybe Manchester will underestimate them. I'll wait for the line-ups before I lock my picks in but there could be a lot of goals in both these games.
Yes, would even put money on it but 35/10 doesn't do the risk justice, at Old Trafford and on a United side who's just pulled through Europa. I really ought to put a fiver on both Manchesters losing though...
