What a terrible round for me after getting 20+ points last round! I did not realize I did not put picks in,,, so the pool picked default picks, which luckily gave me 3 points instead of zero. Kudos to those who picked exact scores on Wolves, nobody got any points from Fulham!

By the way how to claim prize for yellow cap?Smiley

Sometimes when a change of technical director occurs in a team it is difficult for the players to adapt to it, if a team loses to a weaker team, they may have internal problems and yes, the technical director must fix it, Klopp is fine, but the club should give him an ultimatum, if there are no good results he should go and think of another good coach, Liverpool is a team of respect, I have always liked the way they have to make a counterattack, they are very fast but I have not seen what more explosion the players.

Another good coach? Like what? We at Spurs know only how easy it is to say a coach did not do well enough and hire someone else and then just end up with different same same results:)

What happens usually when a club loses so times at home against weaker opponents? yeah, the coach will get fired.
For sure they will not fire Klopp after this. The season was already very worse. Still, you have to justify his position as manager.
Or maybe has this to do with the fact that Virgil van Dijk does not play for months?

ya.ya.yo!

Well, we lost Van Dijk & Gomez (our first choice CB pairing) for the whole season in October. We had to move Fabinho (our best defensive midfielder) back to CB, then Matip got injured for the whole season. We lost Jota &
Thiago for 3-4 months. Klopp’s Mother died, Alisson’s Father died, Henderson has been missing for long periods. I’ve never seen us have an injury crisis like this.

We shouldn’t be losing to teams like Burnley, Everton & Fulham at home, it hasn’t been good enough but you can see the recipe of disaster above. Nothing has gone right & we are having the worst season I can remember. No team could cope with these injuries. Last season Man City said losing Laporte to an ACL meant they could not win the title. Well Liverpool’s injuries are ten times worse.

Liverpool rely on passion & atmosphere from the crowd more than most teams Klopp, for example would we have beaten Barcelona 4-0 in an empty Anfield, no chance.

Klopp will not be sacked, we will be back & better next season.

^  Claudio Ranieri?  Getting the sack a year after winning the league?  I don’t think it’s the same situation as Klopp and Liverpool or Pep and City.  It’s gonna be closer to Chelsea and Tuchel to some extent if they win the league.

And the squad at LCFC knew winning the league was most likely a fluke and they would never have a title run for another couple of decades.  The players who knew they were wanted at bigger clubs def wanted to leave.

Two tough games to pick tonight. Both sets of teams might end up cancelling each other out.


It was the same for me. I was going with 2 - 1 for Liverpool but that match finished with 1 - 0. Today we have match against Fulham and again it's in Anfield. These days Anfield scares me and I have gone with another Liverpool win by knowing that we have very high probability of losing again.

Liverpool going to win this one for sure. I mean how bad could Liverpool turn into, its only Fulham though. If it was another team, I would probably go for draw but its Fulham and there is no way Liverpool going to pass this good opportunity for 3 points. Im going for 2-0 for Liverpool and I think Jota might score in this match  Tongue



@hilariousandco : What did you drink or eat before you make this score prediction lol ? 3 exact scores and 1 close score out of 5 matches, thats a great way to start this round and at this rate you might make it to top ten soon

Well I was pretty surprised myself. Didn't do great on the others but I'm seeing most didn't back Liverpool or City to lose and at home as well.


I dont think klopp will leave that easily liverpool he got them their first title in 20 + years and a champions league title
One bad season wont get him sacked

As for todays points,got only 1 Sad
I just cant catch a break

Ranieri was sacked. I agree they shouldn't sack him but the culture in football today is to get rid of managers ASAP once they're falling down the table. He's obviously a bigger manager so will likely be given a lot more leeway then say teams facing relegation but how long can this form go on for before the board starts talking?

They will not let Klopp go, this is the first problematic period of his Liverpool tenure so far. I'm more afraid he'll go himself if we don't qualify for CL and the owners start talking about rebuilding rather than going for top players.

Klopp said he was always interested in the Germany national team job, but that he would ideally like it a bit later in his career. I hope we don't drive him away with stupid decisions because the national team will be calling him for sure for Euro 2021.

He'll almost certainly get the Germany job at some point, but yeah, most national team duties tend to be in the twilight years of a managers career.

there is a chance for CL next season through the CL competition, Liverpool has good result from first match in Budapest, and that is close to go through this phase, although this form would hardly bring it to any title
competition for Europa league and Champions league is harsh this season in Premier league, but I hope that Everton will get there at the end, so that would hardly leave place for Liverpool to do the same

West Ham, Tottenham, Chelsea are also looking on that spot, and Leicester is just above

Nah, I really don't see it. We are currently not a team that can challenge for the CL, I'd tip for us to get knocked out in the next round. I wouldn't be surprised even if Leipzig kicks us out - although we really have a good result from the 1st leg.

We have issues that can't be fixed in a week or so, this season is over. We need to keep fighting, sure, but I want us to start preparing for the situation without CL next year as soon as possible. There will be some tough decisions to be made.

yeah, I have put 1:3 in our prediction pool, fast goal by Leipzig and everything changes
on the other hand, a bit off-topic, have put 1:4 in Paris as well, and have a bit more confidence that thing in Paris could actually happen, while I do not believe that much in Leipzig

2:0 at home is much better result than 0:2 from the first match, from my point of view

I guess I will end up with the wooden spoon this week.So far I only have one close result and one result in total.I just saw the predictions of the top of the standings this week and they predicted a lot of upsets.

Woop, correct score on the first game. Hoping for another good week. Went for a 0-0 on the Sheffield United/Southampton game that's on now and the Saints are up by one but hoping United can claw one back and make it a draw.

I’m trying to be clever this round by picking Liverpool vs Fullham, 1 - 1.  Lol.  Grin  I have nothing to lose now, with me outside the top 20.  And missing the first match of the weekend didn’t help.  Meh...  I was looking at 0 - 2 for Burnley vs Arsenal.

Just going for free bets now...  



I've gone for a Liverpool win but I could totally see a draw here the way they've been playing. If they drop points in that game it's going to be pretty disastrous for them. I wonder how long they can keep it up before Klopp goes. I'm not a fan of clubs sacking mangers after a rut and I don't think they should get rid of him regardless of where they finish in the end but the culture of ditching managers has become pretty toxic. I wonder if there's been any managers other than Ranieri that have won the league then been sacked the season after?

Oh I got them to win but I’m just trying to get lucky to get more points here somehow.  Lol.

And no way Liverpool is getting rid of Klopp...  That’s unless who lost control of the dressing room.  But I don’t think they’re at that point yet.  Has Klopp become more aloof with his players?

I was able to savage 4 points, thanks to the 0-0 draw in the Newcastle vs West Brom match, I honestly didn't know who to go with, that's why I just left it blank.

Liverpool would be very unreasonable to let Klopp go just because of a bad season, who's better out there to go for ?

Being a Liverpool fan is one of the hardest things in life. I swear to god, rollercoaster rides they give you don't exist anywhere else in the world.

We still did not celebrate last year's title, imagine if we celebrate it after finishing 9th this year. Worst thing of all - we finally found some stability and 3 months of consistent fuckups will wipe away 3 years of great systematic work.

Well, back to square one. 17th time in my short period supporting them. My body is ready, lets gooo.

I am very sad for the Liverpool loss yesterday night.It looks like a curse to me that every time I bet on Liverpool they lose that game.I am still happy with this mega round in the pool as I got average results and am already looking forward to tomorrow games.

That's their fifth consecutive loss at Anfield, the fortress is now cursed, huh ??! It's really going to be a new low if they can't see off Fulham in the next fixture.

And for LIverpool, a new and humiliating low it was! How in hell do you lose 6 consecutive homes, even moreso when some of the teams are outside the top 10  Huh

I went for 2-0  win with the hope that things will get better today, but it's same new shit, just different day, they'd better put themselves together ahead of Leipzig's UCL clash on Wednesday as that's what's left of their season.

Nice start on the leaderboard, hilarious! That's two weeks in a row you're right off the bat.

Anyway, I'm on the telly, filled with regret. So with our last two Anfield games, we've just only added to the record of different centreback pairings: now 20 ha ha. What a bundle of nerves at the back we are now, I just can't bear to watch it.

To add to the 18 pairings I listed in this post (because Trofo couldn't believe it haha) we now have Fabinho-Kabak and after today Williams-Phillips after Kabak got injured. We still have Davies getting used to training so we may end the season with 25 who knows haha;)

Oh cryptofrka, oh LFC_Bitcoin, when will we be released from this purgatory?

I didn't expect Arsenal to not be able to win today especially after they beat Leicester easily.I got 0 points so far from the first two games as I expected a Sheffield United win because their form recently has been more convincing than that of Southampton for me.Another round without the yellow cap for me so let's see what happen next as not that many rounds are available until the end of the season.

@hilariousetc I already said that picking a lot of draws can either bring you up the table considerably or bring you down considerably,so far for you is working well.

Yeah, they're risky but most people seem to like backing a winner rather than a stalemate. It just paid off again for me on the Villa/Wolves game as I was the only person to go with a 0-0 which are always the rarest scores to go for I think. Currently leading this round but will probably get overtaken with the game on now. Gone for a narrow 1-0 away win to Leicester but they're currently 1-0 down to Brighton. Only four people have backed the home win. Manchester derby is the game to watch tomorrow I think. Maybe Liverpool/Fulham as well but just to see how they get on as I think it could be a boring one.

If we (LFC) can’t beat Fulham tomorrow we might as well close the club & cease to exist. I’m kidding but what a crap season by us, well at least Man Utd won’t win the title. Just need Everton to collapse now & then at least our main rivals will have nothing to cheer about too.

I'd gladly accept that we finish 4th and that both of them finish ahead of us and win the cup/EL. I couldn't care less what they do, we're at a turning point in which all good that was created under Klopp can be lost in 1 season without elite football.

We are still not a financial heavyweight like United that can buy players and pay the highest wages for years before getting into CL, we are under a strict budget and I'm really worried that our progress will halt completely if we miss out on the top 4 this season.

Fulham is a must win game, I don't want to think about anything else than 3 points.
