What I'm really hoping is that they don't tire the way Klopp's heavy metal 2016/17 did towards the end. He's much more pragmatic the last two seasons, which is bad for entertainment but long-term, better for the team. Bielsa's tactics in training are apparently just as demanding on fitness so I'd prefer them not to fade the way they did in Championship 18/19, they've got to find a balance -- but yes, certainly they should still be crazy enough to run City ragged and I hope they do (already got a 12/1 bet on them to win haha, remember Norwich?).

Yeah, people have speculated why that happens but I would think it makes more sense to get tired out towards the end of the game rather than a season. Bielsa seems to be big on fitness so I'm sure they will improve other time anyway but being in the PL is a big step up from the Championship which could be a shock to the system. I'd be very surprised if they can keep up their current form throughout out the season though.

I wonder where will Bale play - has anybody given any thought about that?
When you hear Bale - you instantly think of a top player instead of a lazy and uninterested guy that will probably have to work really hard to regain his fitness and form.

Spurs have a fluid attack full of confidence, bring Bale into it and I feel it just might be the case of having more problems than before. Will he remove Son from the team? Well, no way. Who then? And he won't be happy sitting on the bench, that's for sure.

Why wouldn't they just play him upfront with Kane and Son? Those three would probably be up there with the best strike force in the league.

Still buzzing from Son's four goals / Kane's 4 assists,,, and we do not have Bale playing with us yet! Southampton have shown us they are not a shit team so they will be hurting from the two losses and you know they can get a win at some point, just hope it is not too late in the season. So far, tough for the promoted teams too, I am beginning to think only Leeds can stay up now.

If Bale can stay fit you have a chance of getting into the top 4 & gaining much needed CL football. I like the look of Leeds, hoping they can have a good season (my Mum is a Leeds fan).

There was an unusual amount of goals this round but didn't know it was a record breaking one. I think we'll probably see some huge-scoring games this seasons especially when some of the big teams come up against the relegation favourites. Both Leeds and Leicester have scored the most goals at seven a piece and they're playing each other next month so that could be a goal fest. Leeds are also playing City at home on the third and I think that will be an interesting watch. If Leeds can hold their own and play like they did against Liverpool I think they could go far this season as those two teams are the big testers. Hopefully their performances weren't just a fluke and they don't get pummelled by City which I could see happening.

Just read that this Week 2 was the leagues record of goals (44). Record's been at 43 since 2011 (thank Newcastle's fighback from 4-0 down at HT, classic Arsenal haha). So Jesus's goal really was special heh.

@toke. Double chance? If Brighton odds are bigger than 10 I'm taking it =D Might even take them anyway just for the misery pile on. United have a League Cup game tonight and while tempting on the odds, I know they'll take out their frustrations on lower league opponents haha.

@LFC: Nice way to end your weekend with 4.5 points! I'm just glad to be above the halfway line so far;)

I heard that from the commentators yesterday and thought to bring this here but you were faster then me. The last second goal made the difference and I think this round really needed something like this after all those 5 - 2, 4 - 3, 4 - 2 matches. It looks crazy when you see them all together. Here is a screenshot I was able to upload.

In the city match, I was actually taking the inspiration of these many goals and had a pick of 2 - 4 but it did not work. I was two goals behind 😜

Damn I dropped out of Top 10 after taking the risk, and not getting it right. I honestly thought Sheffield were going to trounce Aston Villa but at least most of us got City "close",,, why did Jesus have to score:P

I am proudly standing in the last place after predicting about 7 draws this week.I know I am an amateur at this but whar does the spoon near my name says?Does it mean I am a dumb player?I guess so but just wanted to make sure 😜.

It is the prize for doing so well and guessing brave scores. I got it myself before, so proud to fill up my collection of trophies:P

I don't think Sheffield would do as well as they did last season... Sadly.

I could see Southampton and Leeds doing better. Hasn't shown yet tho. Lol.

Edit: And Brighton seems to be playing well. They looked decent vs Chelsea and beat NUFC away. I could see them looking decent vs United this weekend. Grin

Double chance?

fortebet with 15 points, nice. I was lagging behind with 9.5 points, it’s a long journey though. I see UK leader Boris Johnson has put a ban on spectators returning to stadiums until maybe March, that sucks.

I thought I was posting in WO but instead made a post here LOL
Deleted the message anyway.

I had a decent round and I am happy with it. I was too ambitious with the City match and gone with 2 - 4, it did not work however at least got 1.5 points.

Quote from: hilariousetc on September 22, 2020, 02:02:04 AM

Finally I got a correct score on the City 3-1 win!

I am yet to have a correct score. I had 8 right pick in the last round but no correct sore. Imagine if I had few correct score, I could have better point in the round. Without any correct score it's very hard to make good round.

I had City to win 2:1, as many others, so I wasn't very happy after late Jesus goal. It was good game and Wolves were close to equalise score.
Congrats to @fortebet for getting yellow cap. Well deserved!
Question to @hilariousandco. Will we have Champions league pool this year? If yes, then probably it would be good to start things soon - group stage will begin on October 20th, so, less than month left.

Yeah. Will start it soon. Thanks for the reminder.

This mark the end of the 2nd round and Fortebet won the Golden Cap with 15 points ( 2 exact guess ). I was trailing on the 2nd position and I knew I didnt have the chance to win the Golden Cap even if I managed to get exact guess on the last game, he will still gets the close guess then still stand on top of the leaderboard

Better luck next week to us .

Finally got my first Exact score with Villa 1-0 Sheff U. I’ve had a bunch of Close points but that was my first Exact. I should be in approx midtable pool position now, so around 25/50. Must do better, let’s try in the Wolves vs Man C game which has just started, I went 2-1 to Man City.

Congrats mate , think I may give up already - 11 pts for me after almost 2 rounds . Don’t think I was this bad in any round last year !!
I’ve gone 2-1 City too , bad omens for you

EDIT - come on - 88mins - 2-1 City

EDIT doh

I’ll take 3-1 though !!!!!

Not even bookies are that brave to offer much higher odds when you take into account that Wolves won last 3 games against City. This is not coincidence and it is blatant that Wolves style of play is doing big problems to City. I was thinking on putting some money on Wolves but then I am thinking City is way too good team to lose 4 times in a row against any opponent. Will probably skip the game in the end.

They also lost Doherty which is for me even bigger loss than Jota.

Yeah, I'm really going to miss seeing teams with 20-30/1 odds against City, even though theoretically they are as superior to teams on paper. Good thing we can still find 10/1 odds on teams like United=p

I try not get myself thinking in streaks too, Lyon and PSG had an awful start and caused me to put money on them after losing badly, but then it happened again this season.

I got lucky with United, so my math is telling me Wolves, but like you, my logic's saying no.

Quote from: hilariousetc on September 21, 2020, 08:17:15 AM

It was a silly sending off. I don't know why they risk these sorts of tactical fouls. Mane would have probably missed but even if he had scored it would be better to play a goal down than a man down. Had they had played the full game with 11 men I think it would have been much closer.

That's the sort of split second thinking that separates the really good defenders from the rest, something I always thought was missing from Liverpool CBs for years until VVD came along. Werner, Havertz, etc. The result doesn't take away the fact that they are still a scary team and will be even more so once they gel together.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on September 21, 2020, 10:34:55 AM

And City are without Gundogan (covid positive), and Laporte + Aguero both injured...

i predicted a 1-2 Man City win in our pool, but i'm not adding this match to any tickets, Wolves looked good vs. Sheffield, and City haven't played in a while plus they're missing key players, but then again, Wolves isn't particularly a scary team, so u never know...meh, i'll take my chances with the Serie A and AC Milan on my Monday bet slip Grin

I do think Wolves are really scary on the flanks and final third, when they click into gear. And literally scary too to see Traore charging down defences, he's just so fast and veiny...
