Don't know why but I just went in and upgraded my 3-0 to 4-0.
~snip

you are the only one with 0:4
I went with 1:2, not very ambition, but I expect goals tonight

nevertheless, it is really a mess at the top, and third slam point would make a difference, but exact score could mean a lot as well
I am 5 points above position 6, so would like to see myself in top5, not thinking about the top, but looking at best score per round, with 25 still good, looking at current 15.5 in this round, 6 matches to go (is that a paying spot anyway?)

Holy hell I made a HUGE overestimation on that one, didn't I? And you're right, slaman took the 3 exact points and has a slam point more than most of us, and he's top. Finally toppling tumi.

This is a far cry from last season when #1 just City'd his way to the end.

Need to look back and see but I think at least Top 5 win prizes as the prize pool is pretty big with Sportsbet's contribution. I say this with full knowledge of Bitcoin markets (haha).

I got the correct score in yesterday night game as I predicted Liverpool would have a narrow win after failing to win against Tottenham.This is OK for Liverpool while they will face two finals,one against Chelsea and one against Real Madrid in the Champions League.I predict that Liverpool will win both these finals while I think they will win fairly easily against Chelsea,they will suffer a bit more against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Team without Salah and Robetson in it tells me that Klopp placed his priority on CL final and that he will try to get that with all players at their maximum possible fitness point. Could be Robertson is nursing some injury since he was substituted quite early in the last game and I found that a bit strange. There was no talk about injury though. Maybe he rubbed Klopp the wrong way and got the bench?

Salah missing is actually the strange part since we all know he can play 120 minutes every few days without problems. He is not in some stellar form but then surely you try to get him to score more goals and not preserve his fitness for CL final? He is one of those players with natural fitness off the charts and I am sure he wants to play every game.

The focus is the FA cup final on Saturday. I agree the Villa game was hugely important but now City is facing 2 difficult away games in a row (Wolves and West Ham). They play both of these before we go away to Southampton so before that game we'll have a clear picture on what we can fight for.

I expect that City might maybe draw one of these but I don't expect them to lose. That Tottenham game will haunt us, it was a perfect game to put insane pressure on them.

If I had known Klopp would rest Salah I might not have put a bet on Liverpool the way I did,,, made a betbuilder for Liverpool score both halves,,, over 6.5 corners and over 19 booking points. Did not meet any of those

The ref made a lot of bad calls, for both sides I guess? He just did not want to give out yellow cards here and there.

There are no point to give everything now since the title just slipped out. CL should be the priority. Watching the match but really not feeling much excitement. We should get three full points anyway.

Don't know why but I just went in and upgraded my 3-0 to 4-0. It's not like 3 goals and a clean sheet was already not ambitious enough but I know the Reds (if not Klopp) are aware of the goal difference turnaround advantage City have thanks to Newcastle. If, for some miracle, City lose one game, we'll need to make up for it.

Like Ollie, Coutinho, Gerrard, but I hope they stumble.

Aston Villa v Liverpool 1-1 after 10 minutes of play. That bodes well for the rest of the game. But it doesn't say anything of course, this match can also just end in 1-5. Liverpool may have already given up the fight for the championship a bit after last week's draw against Tottenham. They will mainly try not to injure themselves with a view to the Champions League final later this month.

I changed my pick from 2-1 Liverpool, to 2-0 with what I'm very sure was less than 5 seconds to the kickoff, but my chance of getting 3 points last for just 4 minutes, huh. And If Liverpool eventually coming from the deficit to win this again, I hope it be not be 2-1, cause I'll feel terrible, lol.

Maybe it's a good time to take some live bet for Liverpool to win the game, it's around Over 2 Odds now.

EDIT:

Missed the chance to, Liverpool equalised already 🫤

Do you think Aston Villa have any chances today against Liverpool? I want to believe that Gerrard's team will be able to fight and, ideally, win against Liverpool, but, as I understand it statistically, the bookmakers promise Liverpool a victory of at least 2 goals. Moreover, Liverpool has not lost in the last 14 matches. Fantastic statistics of course.

I think that in theory that would be possible but in practice I find it difficult to happen.No matter that Liverpool was not able to win against Tottenham and is now out of the fight for the Premier League title they still have one of the best teams in the Premier League.Aston Villa is somewhat far behind if we compare their quality to Liverpool and therefore chances are slim.I also don't think Liverpool is down on moral after not being able anymore to fight for the Premier League title but they need to win every game in order to be fit for the final of Champions League which is just behind the corner.I think Liverpool most probably will get a narrow win tonight.

The one game tonight guys, don't forget. A huge number of games in current round, so plenty of us still in the running for full 3 slam points, whoever gets it will have a great advantage, tumi has been extending and then losing a bit of his lead but like City, I don't expect him to let off this late like I have ha.

Mykolenko goal was a game changer for Everton, great goal, and Everton made a push to win afterwards
lot of fans at away match, they stayed more than half an hour after the match to support Lampard (seems that everything is back to normal in the team)

regarding City, did not expected five pieces, Newcastle is rather playing good in second half, but somehow season is maybe over for them at the moment, and they lost the grip, after first half and two goals down

Yeah, I didn't see that until I read the post-match reports. Good on the fans, they deserve much better. From players and from coach. They didn't

Everton, huh, and teams like Leicester just pouring slick all over themselves. Thought I was being smart with the draw, had to be even smarter to realise they'd lose at home.

City even made me lose all bonus points. 3-0 and I still end up with a correct score like anyone else almost, but well done those who predicted 4 goals. We can all blame Sterling for only coming up with the goods (again) when the game's won.

If you're a Liverpool fan, somehow every game feels like a final. This game against Tottenham definitely has me worried, think they've been playing some decent football, and while I should be confident, we always seem to struggle a little against them. Especially, since they're probably the very definition of a good counter attacking team.

And if you are a Spurs fan every game feels like it could be disaster or brilliant,,, the draw was so hurtful to both of us, but I guess you at least took 2 points from the set, while City did not get any from us. It is such an annoying thing to play so well against the 2 best teams in the country and yet when we play in Europa we look like we sent our shadows onto the pitch.

And I say it like this because time to give Arsenal 4th spot already.

I started the round full of hope to get the highest yellow cap of the season, but in only two days i go down the pipe hahahaha.

We can have the champion of the season in the making?. Can Liverpool still fight after this?

Strange game between Liverpool and Totenham , Spurs have clearly situations and Liverpool also.

On a side note, it looks like Everton are going to survive the drop. Picked up form just in time really, doesn't help that Leeds can't even string two passes together.

yeah, important win
next three matches are with Watford aside, and Brentford, Crystal Palace at home, two wins should be enough to keep us in Premier league
it would be great if all is decided before last match with Arsenal

Leeds has Chelsea, than Brighton aside and last round home with Brentford, they could pick-up six points
Burnley lost important match with Villa, now Tottenham aside, again Villa, but aside and Newcastle home in last round, six point should be max from those three

I think Everton are going to survive, it's looking rather promising for them, a win against already relegated Watford would literally secure their stay imo, and you might be expecting too much from Leeds I'd, If the odds for which team they're playing is valuable I'll definitely be betting against them (I don't see them getting 6 points from the last 3 games, honestly).

Burnley prior to yesterday loss have had quite a run for themselves in recent weeks and that's probably going to be the difference maker, and Tottenham being a big bum could eventually lose or draw against them (I wouldn't be surprised).

F**** City, F**** Football LOL

Or maybe it's all on us. We are the one to be blamed. Anyway, 2nd position is guaranteed 😏

Unfortunately this time is all on you,not being able to beat a very inconsistent team like Tottenham when playing at your home stadium before your fantastic fans that says it all that the only fault is Liverpool.Tottenham was beaten by much weaker teams than Liverpool,and that second position was well guaranteed even before so that is not a consolation prize at all,with the performance of today City unfortunately secured the Premier League title.

Well, I was bloody wrong about that one wasn't I? Damn, that feels like the league just slipped away. It was always going to be a tall order to expect Newcastle to do us a favour, but I haven't lost complete hope. Although, those late goals from City really did put a dent in things. The goal difference now seems beyond our reach, and we'd probably need City to drop points from two games, which is asking a bit too much in my opinion. West Ham probably being the hardest game of them all, I see them blowing away the rest though.

It says a lot that as a Liverpool fan most of us are disappointed, yet we're literally in two finals, and have already won a cup this year. That's crazy if you think about what it was like before Klopp came. The annoying part for me is, City likely get a striker, spend a lot of money this summer, and likely widen the gap that we've managed to close in recent years.
