Nobody is talking about Trent on that goal, he had the opportunity to cover that space, I've watched that clip over and over, and I'd say both players were at fault on that goal, Milner was the only one trying to cover Sancho from shooting and he got rolled on the flood.  Cheesy

Guess that's because Trent did redeem himself on attack. I know people keep talking about TAA's defensive lapses but I'm in the camp that accepts those shortcomings in return for much more positives on the attack. This is why I don't talk about him being bad in defence. Players target him a lot too, as was evident.

Well, I'm not performing as I'd like in the leaderboards. I'm blaming that on the odd start of the season we've had. I'm also annoyed at Liverpool, not that they've cost me points in the pool, but the fact that they just don't seem to be motivated at all at the moment. I know we have our injuries, but to lose against United in the manner that we did, absolutely abysmal.

It's either going to be a very long season or a very long wait until we get through this bad patch, obviously the injuries are playing a role, but there's no excuse why we saw quite a few of our players being lazy on the pitch. VVD was one of the worst on the field for it on Monday.

Yeah, we played well enough in the first two games, we had shitty starts but at least improved, and we almost did enough for another draw at United but there's something in the languid form of VVD (he's always appeared that way but his focus seems totally out the last 3 games). Lazy, as you said, something's just off, can't explain it.

And the problem for me, is we showed what we were capable of during the Community Shield match. We scraped through 2 seasons ago on injury problems hope we don't get another season like that.

After such unexpected results, confidence about future games simply disappears. Even in the game Liverpool - Bournemouth it will be scary to bet on Liverpool, especially if the odds are meager. Although the Devil whispers in my ear, "it's a sure bet, they can't stumble 4 times in a row."

I'm fully expecting the bournemouth game to be a release for Liverpool, they'll end it like 4-0 or 5-1 at least  Grin
Now bookmakers are quoting Liverpool's chances of winning against Bournemouth as 1.11 (if you take a handicap of -2.5, then the odds are 1.87) - in my opinion, an extremely dubious game in order to place bets. I don't think that this losing streak will suddenly stop and everything will be like in a fairy tale "as before", Liverpool have systemic problems and it will be good if they win 2-1, 2-0, 3-1 or something like that.

I did pretty well in the first game week but, it's been down the hill in the last two game weeks as well.

There are quite a number of things that I believe are affecting Liverpool's performance and the injuries is playing its part I'd agree, but the midfield is the first problem I believe is not very functional and Arnold needs a lot of assistance because he also often drops into the midfield position as usual which is why he's being less effective on the flank, and he's position in the defense is being targeted. Van Dijk is also not the best players in 1v1 situation and he's not the best at covering up for his partners in the CB position either so he's need another defender that could take up the those duties while he sticks to his area duels and physical matchups. Salah also needs a Mane-esque partner that will help get the 85-90% attention focused personally on him and forget about injuries woes, Liverpool really does needs a fresh pair of legs, if not two more in the midfield Milner and Elliot aren't going to cut it as their back up plan for an entire season, and let's assume Naby Keita and Thiago get back from their injuries, you can rely solely on these guys for a 50+ games stretch of the whole season including all other competitions.

That was a surprise loss for LFC, and more surprising of a win for UTD.  I find myself rooting for both teams most of the time (unless they're matched against Arsenal, or course,) and when they're playing each other I just want to see a good match.  I considered putting money on the match, but decided against it because I couldn't decide.  After such an abysmal record for the weekend's predictions, I began to question everything I knew about football.

Anyway, to all my friends who are fans of ManU, congratulations on the win.  It was well fought for.  I guess beating LFC will give the fans cause to forgive Ten Hag for the first two weeks of the season.  Better to just forget them, lol.


To switch gears a bit, the drama between Chelsea and Tottenham has really intrigued me for some reason.  It looks like both managers received red cards for their shenanigans when they faced each other in week two.  Now Tuchel has been charged by the FA for "improper conduct," lol.

Tuchel had already received a suspended touchline ban and £35,000 ($41,132) fine following his confrontation with Spurs boss Antonio Conte.

@casperBGD smart move on BTTS in the end, Salah another record but he won't be pleased with the way we lost.

@Hhampuz well bloody deserved.

As Trofo predicted, I lost all my winnings on that one dumb Liverpool game -- 3 games without a win, 3 games that ruin my accas everywhere, don't ever recall seeing VVD so poor. Milner was screaming at him and he was just looking down, probably knew he was bad.

What are my eyes seeing?Huh You are crazy, how you put 600 usd in that game in favour or Manchester, absolutly bold.

Well.. I had a $2k bet on United BTTS as well but that was not as fun to show, lol.



I guess there were only you and rdbase who trusted Manchester United this much. Even he might not have trusted that much. Congratulations to you really. If you have another betslip you bet on Manchester United could you share it too? And this is my betslip thanks to Steve. Smiley

No complaints from me by this United win, scored some much needed points in the pool and scored this little bet:

Such wins don't come easy especially if you are backing Manchester united on your betslip, otherwise, congrats to you well played!

Premier League is proving to be unpredictable with these early games, I think for this game am going for Liverpool to score 2 or more goals and not the straight win against Bournemouth Roll Eyes

@18 odds,

close but no cigar


Needed one more yellow card for Liverpool, but these players are too soft-hearted. Bruno Fernandes delaying the game after Salah's goal, and the liverpool players are standing there doing nothing, two foot him you prats!  Grin

Man same here, i was really mad against the referee, i need 5 yellow in the game, and in the last moments of the game the referee clearly can show them , but for some reason he doesnt, destroying my betbuilder. An for worse i think he doesnt show the yellow to Bruno after Liverpool goal, because he know if he show the card Bruno has to go off.

And I'm not looking at Super Bru but I'm guessing I'm at 25 - 30 rn.  I haven't made any points in the last 4 matches.  Heh...

this is most probably my worst round in last few seasons in Superbru, just Arsenal and Tottenham, nothing more, nothing less

with all that, it is really nice to see Arsenal on top, with all wins and best goal difference in the league, what a change to last season - three loses, without goal scored, Wenger is happy again

You sure got some balls or a lot of money that you can afford to lose without problems because betting near 600 dollars on Manchester United after in their first two games they kept going from bad to worse it means you to have a lot of balls.Congrats on a huge win you have got there near 10 fold your bet which is a great amount over 5000 dollars,a nice one to spend some last days of August fancy holidays,in Dubai,Maldives or Bahamas for example  Grin.

So, who's had the worse start to the season? United or LFC  Cheesy

It's expected of Man United to find themselves in another hilarious scenario, so I'd say Liverpool.  They were expected to be title contenders before the season started and just a whisker away behind Man City.  Now it looks like they're in a bit of a rut and the Klopp era could also be somewhat taking a rest if they can't get back to top form.  But we'll see..  It's not over yet and City isn't perfect as Eddie Howe just showed.

All in all, this looks to be like a very interesting start of the season we've seen in a while.

Terrible start to the season for us but it is what it is. I think we really suffer when Thiago isn’t there, midfield is ass without him. It’s 2022 & Milner is still starting, he’s like 37 years old. Van Dijk & Gomez were pathetic too. Only LFC players to come out of that game with any credit are Elliot & Diaz.

Man City must be laughing, they’ll probably have the title sown up by March. More important things in life but I am really p****d off Cheesy

Manchester United shocked almost everybody last night.I know Liverpool are in their worst form this season,and they will find it very hard to win games as long as Mane is not in their team any more.They seems to forget that Mane was one of the pillers of that team,and his absence is being felt today.
Salah cannot perform actively if there is no Mane because Mane was the one to deep in bring balls to Salah,because he had that energy to run and put fear in the mind of defenders.
They were beaten by Man-u that is at the bottom of the table to show that they declined drastically,but it is fine,they will still pick form.

Big Grats! That's freaking huge man! and to be freaking honest, that's some guts you've got! Not especially considering how shitty Man United have been, did you get some clairvoyant's tipoff or perhaps some inside information, because logically, this looks quite beyond some just "giving it a shot thingy"  Grin

Cheers!

And not really anything special, just a feeling looking at it all. On paper Liverpool should have won, yeah, but it's sports after all and I wouldn't take too much from those first two games by United (as compared to liverpool). And looking at the shakeup in the united lineup for tonights game it seemed obvious to me that this was it or it was bust and shame for the rest of the year. Liverpool will bounce back, I'm sure.

EDIT; Oh and also, no matter the opponent I'll always take a bet on united if they have over 4.5 in odds, haha.

It was a completely shitty week for me though, I had just 3 points from 10 games, never have I ever had it this low if I recall correctly.
