^ I got Liverpool to win 1 - 0.
And I just made the rest of my picks. I feel like there’s gonna be a lot of draws and the unders are def at play here, esp for the clubs that played mid week at the CL and the Europa League.

Dude, if we can’t beat Sheff Utd we might as well give up until next season
It’s the form we’re in though when you doubt you can beat a crap team like Sheff Utd.
What will be will be, I’ll be supporting win, lose or draw.
I've got a little bit more faith than tokes, but you're right, it's just the triple/quadruple/quintuple whammies we've had that even I'm closing my eyes a lot watching the games. Doesn't stop me from throwing more money at them though.
Also, I took ML bets on all City opponents for the next 6 games. Only need Spurs to win to make it all right as that's 7/1. United are 4/1 but all the other teams are pretty big odds (Wolves 24/1 for example).
That's my faith in City to lose =p

Henderson probably out for the season, add him to Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip. This is not normal, our whole spine has been torn out. Can we beat Sheff u though, well if we can’t then damn.......
Jota is back in training, as is Keita. Maybe we can have a good go at the CL but I doubt it.
Let’s see what happens.

This round feels difficult for me. Lots of games, many tough decisions to make. I feel like I went a little too far with the draw this time (West Brom vs Brighton, Leeds United vs Aston Villa, Newcastle vs Wolves), and yet surely there will be some unexpected draw anyway! I also got a bit surprised with the odds on Chelsea winning vs Manchester United. The latter has a higher win record, won the last to away games with Chelsea and also has one more win than Chelsea over the last 10 matches. Honestly, I'm going to be a little surprised if Manchester United loses this one.

City usually choke in the CL latter stages. Surely that’ll stop at some point though, they have too many good players to continue failing in the CL every season.

Yup, so true. But last year was different. I think it was more cos Pep tweaked the strategy and the squad too much vs Lyon that he came out out leveling only himself... Aka the great over think. They would’ve won it using the same strategy as the first leg.
^ Funny how sports journos are mostly quiet about City’s run. Aren’t they breaking the record for most consecutive wins or something?
Anyway, I’d like to see them win the CL. I hope Pep doesn’t tweak with his strategy too much like what he did vs Lyon last year. Lawl.

I think a lot of people have been sleeping on them including myself for some reason. I didn't realise they've only lost two games but at the same time I don't think they've been playing truly exceptional and maybe it's just because Liverpool have been doing so poorly people have been overlooking them.
They are tighter and more solid at the back tho. The tightest since Pep took over imo. City win to nil in some spots have been cashing a lately.

@Trofo @hilarious: Leeds-Southampton definitely BTTS, I'm just wondering if it'll be a win or draw, as both might like to share points. Sportsbet has a correct score boost of 20% so I might throw something down on 1:1... though the likeliest score according to the odds is a 1:0 Leeds outcome...
Went as expected with VAR overruling penalty for Saints while it was still 0:0. It was soft and I can't bitch it was a mistake but those VAR calls always go against what I need from the game. #hateVAR Did not watch the game but looking at the stats, Saints had a lot of chances to score at least one goal but it was not meant to be.
I watched the game. Southampton did deserve a goal and the scoreline tells a different story from what actually happened really. That penalty was a dive for sure though. From a couple of angles it looked like a penalty for sure so I'm glad VAR came good on this decision, but they didn't actually show the best angle on VAR which would have been a lot more helpful for the ref to make a decision.
Damn, next round has 17 games in it? 
Some tough ones to call but in general, one of the easiest ones for me in the last few months or so. Leicester win vs Arsenal seems like a great bet to take @~2.50 odds as well.

I think we could probably see a new high scorer in this round round, especially with 17 games.

I am thinking Guardiola has learned the lesson and City will manage to avoid the choke this season. I sort of feel like he sometimes got into his own head and started tinkering with the squad too much in order to adapt to opposition. That is sort of smaller club mentality and I feel like he would have had better results in CL if he just opted to play his game and let the opponents think about adapting. Players sense that kind of insecurities and on those biggest stages every single detail could prove important.City usually choke in the CL latter stages. Surely that’ll stop at some point though, they have too many good players to continue failing in the CL every season.
At the moment they are looking like a slam dunk since all the other "big" clubs have their problems. Even Bayern is looking unstable when defending and all Spanish clubs could be out after this round. I am sorry I did not take that Sportsbet special City to win 4 titles @25. As it stands they almost have the league and CL should be theirs as well. If they miss something it will be one of the domestic cups because of "we will get this one easy and rest some players" mentality.

I think City is one of the strongest contenders for the Champions League now that they have already secured the Premier League.They completely dominated the game yesterday and won easily against Mgladbach.Their form is impressive at the moment and the trend is only for more upside quality from them.

^ Yeah toma's the Man City of our pool. Took them a brief time to get to the top and only extending their run of points and lead. I'm just going to try for more yellow caps now, either which way I go with strategy doesn't really seem to be working out.
Just a bit crazy to see teams like Liverpool and Southampton pick up so few points from this current stretch of games. Great for the Prem, except City is slowly remembering how to be a steamroller again.

It wasnt BTTS and Southampton continue their bad streak
Well done webtricks and hahay for getting the 2nd Yellow Cap in this pool. 13 rounds left for this season and Tomahawk9 still stands comfortably on top . Quick search in Superbru's leaderboard shows that Tomahawk9 has been sitting on top since the 5th round and hasnt step down yet for 21 rounds in a row. That kind of consistency of getting atleast average or above average points every round is an impressive feat
This leaderboard is updated until 25th round
YELLOW CAPS 2020/2021

buwaytress, don’t worry, next season will be much better. I see lots of rival fans laughing at us but I don’t think any other team would cope with what we’ve had happen to us this season. It’s ok, we’ll be back! Amen, and we still got plenty of games to keep on fighting. I just want the boys to play now as they were before. Happy, not stressed, and just pleased to be playing football and scoring again and well, just enjoying themselves. Hard to see them look so worried and stressed even during warmups. @Trofo @hilarious: Leeds-Southampton definitely BTTS, I'm just wondering if it'll be a win or draw, as both might like to share points.
