Only 2/7 for me today, it could've been worse but at least those two were all correct scores so i'm only 1pt behind from the top 20.

Also the late goals coming from the Chelsea and Fulham saved my round a bit together with the VAR at the end coming to the rescue. Grin

Edit : Forgot there's still the Man City game left surely most of us should get points from it.

Terrible week for me. I've only got 1.5 points so far and looks like I'll be getting the wooden spoon this week Roll Eyes

. Some shocking decisions in VAR this week. At this point it's doing more harm than good and I'd rather they scrapped it completely.

There is a golden opportunity tomorrow for Arsenal,if they win the game against Manchester United then they will be in a very comfortable position in their fight for the title which would be even more realistic after the win against Manchester United.The fact that the top contenders like Manchester City,Liverpool and Chelsea are leaving points here and there only make things easier for them if they are serious enough to win tomorrow game.These points left here and there can be fatal for the title race,I only hope Arsenal wins tomorrow that would make the Premier League even better than it is.

Hard game to predict. I'm sure most will go for the draw. If it was at the Emirates I might have backed an Arsenal win but I think they both might cancel each other out. Hopefully it's a high scoring game though. I wonder if they'll start Ronnie now the transfer drama is over until at least January, though maybe he'll remain benched if he's been trying to backseat manage? Cheesy

. Kinda silly not to start him now but maybe Hag is trying to show him who's boss. Probably won't be the boss for long though if they don't keep the form up now.

I finished the day with 10 points and I picked exact scores for three games. It is still not the best day of course as I failed to get any points in four games at the same time. Forest - Bournemouth game was really unbelievable. My pick was a Forest win by 2-0 but Bournemouth's comeback just left no words for me to say.
The biggest surprise of the day was of course in the Aston Villa - Manchester City game. Aston Villa somehow stole one point by a 1-1 draw despite not playing very good. Haaland continued to score here too but they still couldn't manage to win. I see that only alexrossi picked the exact score for this game and the rest of the participants got 0 point from it. It is a really great job, alexrossi!

Bournemouth played well enough. My prediction was Bournemouth to win 1-0. Because Nottingham's performance was not very good. But to my surprise, Bournemouth won 3-2. It was not expected to see 5 goals in this match.
My prediction for Manchester City vs Aston Villa match was City to win 3-1. But Manchester City could not play well against Aston Villa's defenders. Manchester City needed 3 points from this match. Guardiola should not rely solely on Haaland. Because Manchester City has a lot of money. They should have brought in one more experienced striker.

I think nobody expected that Arsenal would be in this position especially the fans. Arsenal can now make a big advantage over Man City and we know that in the premier league every point is really huge. Also i dont know what happened to Man City to drop more points.

looking at City and Liverpool today, Arsenal has great opportunity against United to increase their point difference at the top

it certainly looked different at the beginning, but Gunners are becoming interesting candidate to trophy fight if they manage to win at Old Trafford, looking forward to that one

Oh, come on. Van Dijk was looking at the ball when he stepped on Onana's ankle. Cheesy

Looks like City is going to leave points on the pitch. They've been dominating even though they're obviously playing without the energy they're known for.

I also from the seven games got only 2 right but luckily got one exact score and one close,Chelsea exact and Tottenham close the only results I got right.I never thought Liverpool to not win against a much weaker Everton but the biggest surprise for me was the win of Bournemouth that they turned things around in the second half from 2-0 to 2-3 and I considered them the worst team yet together with Leicester of the Premier League,now they are in mid table.

Manchester City I guess everyone will get a point as a minimum.

9 points from 6 games, we've already dropped almost half the average points a title winner has in the past 5 or 6 campaigns, so this doesn't bode well unless we pull another string of impossible wins... not with the squad we have now and the way we're playing. Can't put a finger on it, is it an insistence to stick to 4-3-3 when we don't actually have the personnel?

Last week we were almost losing point until in the final minute we had luck. We can't expect to be lucky all the time, for example today. Salah seems inactive. Is anyone missing Mané? Salah and Mané had good chemistry although in off field there were some questioning between their relationship.

Anyway, if Fulham, Palace and Everton can challenge us and take points from us then surely we have a rocky road ahead unless Klopp brings out any x factor to get back to winning habit.

There is absolutely no truer truth out there for today.

^ Yeah.. I didn't see the goal as I was replying to Welsh with the post below. But it looks like there's VAR.

I don't know what to say about that Everton goal, I'm always an advocate of it's worth calling, it's worth calling right but on this occasion I feel bad for Everton, It's very marginal and even If they had call on it onside I don't think anyone would have disputed the call, even by taking a closer look at the picture/replay.

Can't remember having such a bad start for such a long time. Definitely needed more physical players, even Milner to start earlier should have been better, young guns are exciting but pretty flimsy in midfield. Lamps would feel the happier man with this draw, and this is going to really bite on the players later.

The last woodwork LOL
As I said today man of the match is woodwork. Everton shot one and Liverpool had three if I am not wrong.
It's is going to be difficult for us if we keep losing the points. City is not going to lose or draw many matches. Arsenal looks good in this campaign.
Interestingly, Klopp seemed happy with the result.

What's wrong with Klopp's boys? Seems like they're playing like they're against Man United or something. I didn't think this derby would be very intense but it is rn. Cheesy

And what's the matter with the ref? There's like a couple of fouls on Liverpool that didn't get a call.. There should've been a free kick for Everton around the 20th minute.

Edit: Omg... Everton might get a goal in with how the match is playing out. :/ Not good for me.

At this rate, three's going to be multiple injuries. That's the problem with letting the game run, it basically gets harder, and harder until the ref puts his foot down. Now we've already got one injury with Fabio. As for our performances, I know we've got injuries, but we should be performing better than we're. So, honestly I'm really not sure why we just aren't up to our usual standards. I was quite excited about that young midfield, but I guess in a physical game like derby you want more robust players than Fabio, and Elliott, although the latter of the two is having a decent game.

I feel like we're missing Robertson in this game, and obviously Thiago for unlocking defenses.

^ It's not about the injuries or who's missing. It's just I feel like Liverpool is playing angry out there or uptight. I can't quite put my finger on it but judging from optics alone, they didn't look good in the first half. The second half is much better...

And OMG OOOOOOMMMGGG Everton just scored one in.

Edit: Anyway, yeah... I was also about to say that Everton have their moments in the match too.

Edit: That was red imho.

Another stressing Liverpool match. So far 0 - 0. Woodwork is man of the match today LOL
If Everton wins then it will be their first win after last 12 years. And fucking they are 0 - 1 ahead.

Update: Thank god it was an offside 🤣

I picked a Liverpool win by 2-0 for the Merseyside derby.

However Liverpool's performance hasn't looked satisfying so far. Maybe they have the most ball possession and they seem to be in control of the game. However they still couldn't score any. I didn't understand why Klopp didn't prefer Firmino instead of Nunez. Firmino has been on fire recently. He scored 3 goals and made 3 assists in his last two games. He is like a shining star of the team but he isn't in the starting eleven somehow today. Maybe we can see a move from Klopp to replace Nunez with him earlier in the second half.

Even though Liverpool are in a much better shape than Everton, things can really change when it comes to derbies like this. Hopefully Liverpool will make up for this performance in the second half.

Evertom vs Liverpool is a wierd derby always. Always low amount of goals and not good football on this match between these two teams. With how Liverpool is glitching i dont know what to expect from them. Leicester keeps on selling for huge bags but dosent buy anything,just greedy

Everton have sat back a lot in recent years, and usually been on the receiving side of late goals. This time is different, their defense isn't all that great, and their strikers aren't strikers that can make something out of nothing. Honestly, this is probably the most confident I've been in a few years, apart from last season. However, we've obviously been in rather poor form as well. I do believe Nunez is available to be selected now, it'll be interesting to see what Klopp does.

My gut feeling is he benches him.
