Its not everyone though. Leea-1334, Mole0815 and Ulven has Norwich to win by 1 goal. Yeah any result is not really surprising anymore at this point but honestly, this should be clearly 3 points for United especially when its on Old Trafford against the worst team in EPL so imagine how harsh the fans would react if somehow they cant secure 3 points

I can imagine Maguire would be pulling some 'stunt' that would lead to Norwich scoring lol

I think everyone in the pool went with Man Utd again and with them you never know honestly. They are in such a bad form that i wouldnt be shocked if they lost points against Norwich aswell. It dosent matter much if Ronaldo is playing if he dosent have the ball to score the goals. We will see if Man Utd dosent win this i dont know against who they can win.

I see no chance for norwich against manu. According to my soccer app, cristiano is back and at some point they will have to end their negativ serie. My clear favorite is manu and if CR7 is playing, he will score today!

If I am correct, Pep has been with City since 2016, he will not be the longest serving manager in PL.

^^re Superbru, my browser on laptop is perpetually logged in, it is the phone browser (I dont use the app but should give it a try) that logs me out a lot. Probably as the connection always changes.

Just yesterday I saw it was logged out but cant login or recover. My username still there I hope at least. Very annoying.


Norwich yeah, ML for me actually. Just for fun. Would be pretty amusing to win the bet but I am pretty sure I put a win for Utd in the pool. As it is, can't login to see.

The way past couple of weeks been going, wouldn't be surprised for a few upsets this weekend... Or shitty scoreless draws.

Oh and I just read that Sean Dyche got sacked... Almost ten years. Is Pep now the longest serving manager in EPL I wonder. He came in 2014/15 no?

Strange, works perfectly for me all the time. I made my picks this morning. I am logged in all the time on desktop and on mobile, never asking me for any credentials. I don't think I had to relog in all the time I have account except when changing mobile.

Has anyone backed an upset on the Man U / Norwich game? I haven't but at the same time Norwich grabbing a point wouldn't surprise me. They've grabbed 4 points from their last two matches and Man U have a draw and a loss to Everton last week. Is Ronaldo playing? He limped off at the end of the game and obviously there was the slapping incident so could even be dropped but that I doubt. Would love it if they lose though  .


It's working for me but one thing that has been annoying me is the web version always logs me out and when I log in again and try to do my scores more often than not I can't as it takes me to the log in page again. It's been like that for a couple of months for me. The android app seems to work fine though and that's where I usually do my picks so try that if you haven't.

Does anyone else have issues with Superbru? Could not get in since yesterday night. Error says my account or email doesn't exist. Support says they are well aware of issues and are working on it. But that reply only came a few minutes ago so...

Relieved I made picks last weekend even, because would be not cool to miss a whole weekend of picks due to login issues.

GL today. LFC_Bitcoin you not headed to London today are you?

I was in first 10, in fact most probably in first 5 for a long time. Then for some personal reasons I was not active online for few weeks and even I did not have time to login to superbru to make the picks in regular basis. At that time I was out of race (I felt that actually, to be honest when you are not even in top 30 in the 3rd quarter of the season). I thought to give up this season then some users suggested to continue since there are at least some chance for round winning. So I thought why not. Fortunately it started working and now coming back to top 10 is something satisfying but still I believe there are time to improve more.

Lee's pick in the City vs Liverpool had done the job for him. Straight 3 points helped him for the yellow cap. 

For people selecting their scores, remember that Brighton are terrible at converting chances, so going up against any team which has a little bit of defensive ability, they'll struggle. I always find a draw for them is a pretty good shout since they're decent attacking to tend to put pressure on their opposition, but some days they really struggle to get that decisive goal.

I initially thought Man Utd as they've been my money maker this year, usually by losing or picking up draws. Honestly, at such fat odds it might be worth putting down a double chance for Norwich. Personally, while I wish it was true, I just don't think they've got the defensive resilience that'll be needed. I can't see them scoring more than one goal against United, hence why I went for a 1-1.

I very much had a love, and hate relationship with Lovern. He could he absolutely brilliant one week, and then terrible, and a massive liability to our chances of winning anything the next. I can't bash on his commitment though, reminds me a bit of Skrtel, and Agger combined. The guy tried his best while in the shirt. I liked Sturridge, I just wish he had the determination of Suarez, if he did he would likely still be leading the lines for us. The man at his best was one of the best in the world.

Luis Garcia was definitely one of my favourites, his glancing header in that Istanbul campaign, man, a guy for his height, he knew how to cushion headers proper -- Jota and Firmino I think have the same techniques. Caught sight of him in the recent Legends match too, oh they grey hairs but he still looks sprightly!


Betting terms, definitely going for another United loss/draw, Norwich seem to be showing some final-lap fight (they'll still go down) and 14/1 actually seems pretty decent.

Brighton I hope actually win, or draw, as their next match vs City @18/1 also where my money is. City will be too good on Wednesday but KdB I just read could be injured, and you never know how a team like them comes back after such a bruising game (the FA cup game tomorrow will clue us in I guess, but my pick's Liverpool... why not?).


Sakho was one of my favs too at the time, specially that BVB fightback. Klopp was a fan too but yes, no fury like Klopp scorned. He rules with an iron fist and he wants players to know that, and I'm fine with that.

It's really funny when I think about some of my favourite players from that time (and as you said, even from before), for sure, Origi, I would even say Sturridge who, to his credit, really tried to play through his pain barrier for Klopp even though the German suggested his injuries were less physical than mental (and I probably agreed). We also had guys like Moreno, Lovren, Lucas and it's really cool how they still show up on Liverpool socials, clearly still in love. I know for sure they miss hearing their name and their song on the terraces.

What i meant is that i have seen Tumi i think being first for this round o most until very end and Lee just in last 1-2 matches went into first place for yellow cap. I know how you feel, i have been 12th 11th for a long time really and now when im 6th and really close to third place i feel a lot better,but cannot stop here want that first place badly

What do you mean out of nowhere. I think this is his 2nd yellow cap? Although overall he has a long long way to go for at least top 10. I once was not even in top 30 couple months ago. But lately seeing myself in the top 10 feels a bit better. Still a long way to go for me as well. A bad round can drop me down but I really need a massive round.

Tomorrow is match day. So if you are still waiting to make your picks, do it until it's too late. I can assure all that I have missed some matches just because I was waiting for few minutes before the kick off. Now I do a rough pick and if I get time then before kick off I review my picks. Safer.

Origi is a tough one to place, yeah. At first I meant to say that he definitely is a hero in the same way in which players like Luis Garcia are, but he's actually done more and on a bigger stage.

I always liked him, I was really excited when we signed him and he's had his periods with us. Unfortunately though, he simply didn't grow enough with this team and it has surpassed him - he is our 6th or 7th attacking option in this moment.

I do hope he revives his career, he's a guy who never complains and does give his all when you put him in a game and will be remembered as a cult hero in my book.

After all - football without Origi is nothing

I'm struggling to put together an accumulator this weekend. I've only got Man United drawing, and Arsenal winning. I'm thinking the United game will be 1-1 as Norwich haven't beaten Man United in years if what I've read is true. Although, I think Pukki will penetrate that defense. Arsenal are on decent form, while Southampton are coming back after that Chelsea thumping, so think it'll be more of the same against Arsenal. The rest I don't have a clue about.

I'm pretty sure there were some unconfirmed rumours that he was thinking of extending, something about his wife giving the go ahead? I think it came from a quote in one of his interviews, although I didn't verify it myself since I didn't want to get my hopes up. I remember on the day we signed Klopp I basically said that's the beginning of a new era, and I've never been proven so right in my life. How far we've come since he has took over is nothing short of incredible. We were basically where United are today.

Yeah, Klopp is a stubborn man, at least that's the impression I get. Coutinho used to be my favourite player, but when we were linked to him a few months back, I knew that Klopp wouldn't have him back based on how he left. It's the same as Sakho when he used to play for us, I quite liked him even over he was largely a liability for us, as soon as crossed Klopp his career was over.

I love Origi, cult hero in my book, and to be honest before we had Klopp I remember him leading the lines for quite a while, and pulling it off. Unfortunately, he probably isn't good enough for first team football, but that doesn't make me like him any less. He did the job when he needed too, and he has made some incredible memories for us Liverpool fans. To be honest, many of our players have with Origi, and Alison probably coming top of that list.

Yeah, it's embarrassing how I'll keep watching, if my feed shows it, Klopp doing it with the fans 30 mins after the game's ended. Whatever happens after this, however he leaves our club (and I pray he changes his mind and stays a lot longer), I don't know how I'll get over him.

Another thing I realised only recently is Klopp sticks to his changes no matter what, huh? Taking Jota off right after he scores, for example. It's probably more noticeable for me now because we've got such depth we didn't have just not too long ago.

I'm like you, I think we're the favourites every game now -- don't care the bookies don't agree. Think the only reason the odds are tilted as no one knows for sure who Klopp will start. Again, something I'm not used to because last season, the lineup was only unfamiliar because of injuries. This time, people really are fighting for a place.

Origi off to Milan, will you Reds miss him? How can we ever forget him against Barca? Credit to him, he's accepted lower wages for more football, Toons were ready to pay more than what he earned at Liverpool. Not the biggest fan of Mina and am expecting guy to also leave if we find someone else though to be fair, he has done more than his share in FA Cup, which is why we're meeting City this weekend.

Yeah, the only problem I find with Pep is he experiments too much, especially when its key games. Although, I do respect the boldness from him, and well I guess he does have the depth. Although, I do find it annoying at times that Klopp sticks with the same tactics, and doesn't make changes to usually later on, I absolutely adore the man like any other Liverpool fan.

I do expect them to use that system again, I don't know if that'll help them overall or not, because I also expect them to drop points in the remaining games, although they probably expect the same from us considering our arguably harder fixture list. To be honest, I'm not too worried about our fixture list, I think there's a few which could be a problem, but the way we have been playing, I do expect us to win almost every single time. The City game was the only one I've really been nervous about this entire season, and I had to watch Brentford put three past us early in the season.

All the upcoming remaining rounds are crucial to the guys in the top 10,usually we will have weeks round during the weekend and there are about 6 weeks more to go or 7 if we maybe count the postponed matches so there is a lot to play for,a single good round can make you pass positions equal to a bad round can make you drop positions,both ways significantly.I am just 15 points away from the top 10 out from nowhere as I was way more behind but I don't pretend to fight for it,I just fill my predictions mostly for fun now.

Fabinho was really poor, I agree. But if you look at how the game was set up - it was actually brilliantly done by Guardiola. He put Jesus and Sterling narrow to run behind Van Dijk and Matip and dropped Foden to play in line with De Bruyne - often leaving Fabinho isolated and having to close down 2 players of such quality. With both Walker and Cancelo playing wide in a classical '4 at the back' system, the Liverpool full backs could not provide support as well.
He was bound to have a bad game and there was nothing Liverpool could have done to help him. If you take into account the quality that both KDB and Foden have - defending one of them is barely possible. 2 at the same time? Nope.

Therefore, I think our midfield did a great job - Henderson was especially good in helping him to close down space and remain compact in defence.

Lee out if nowhere got the yellow cap and congrats on that,not easy being the best for the week. Also not much changes in the top on sunday,i badly needed the win from City to move into third place but wasnt able to secure it. Hopefully next round gets me close to the top

My thoughts precisely on the first goal. Such an early setback, Alisson did his best but you just get those impossible-to-block deflections every now and then, but both our goals were class. We've been playing more consistently than City, they gambled with a striker for the first time in months and got reward, wonder if Pep will stick with it, but we can always count on him to tinker and (hopefully) consequently, drop points.


Yeah, I still got a pre-season 76/10 bet waiting all by its lonesome self heh. Everton will make it, too classy not to, and you got to play your first games in new stadium in top flight (better be worth losing Heritage status for ha ha).
