^  This is how it's gonna happen...  Ancelloti makes some adjustments for the second half and they get one goal on for a 2 - 1.  Grin
Well turns out nothing is working for Everton. 2 more goals and now 4 - 0 behind. We all have to be happy with the 1 points LOL
Damn it! it's hard to overtake you. And in the run I always get behind by someone else. Few weeks ago it was examplens and yesterday it was MoSala 😜

I am not giving much chances to Chelsea today. They are missing Abraham as already pointed, but more importantly they are missing whole midfield. They are also without Kante, Jorghino & Kovacic. I am expecting Everton to stop the losing streak vs. Chelsea today and do it with style.
Match started and let's see what we find out after the final whistle. It seems a lot of us are backing Chelsea today including toke with a 2 - 1. But as buwaytress said, if Chelsea concede the first goal then it will be difficult for Chelsea to come back. My pick is 2 - 0 for Chelsea.

I'm really not sure what to make of the lineup atm but injuries are limiting them. IF Everton score first, then it's probably over. Giroud's got a goal in him maybe. Tammy's for sure out so it's not like they have so many more options. Gilmour to prove he wasn't a flash in the pan?
Chelsea do not have Abraham who scored 13 goals so far. They do not have Pulisic who scored 5 goals so far, they do not have Willian who scored 4 goals so far. Forget about others but without Abraham Chelsea seems very poor in attack.
On the other hand Calvert and Richarlison are playing which means Everton is playing with their full strength.

The benefit for Chelsea that they are playing in home ground and in their ground I gone back to year 99 and do not see any lose against Everton. The worse is some draw matches and I hope they do not do this today too LOL

You basically do not know which one will be your correct pick. The previous one of the one you just changed. It's just the stress that drives you to change your picks. I was almost going to change the pick of the Chelsea match but I stopped myself LOL

Been avoiding Chelsea a lot except in Europa and good thing too as their performances have been, how you say, unChelski-like. They're really losing their way (which is a good thing cause their Abramovich-fuelled way was never ever going to be sustainable), but I wonder if I should take a small hedge by putting money on them at almost 2/1. Seems "good value" but then Everton aren't exactly pushovers.

@Pamoldar I should keep track of what happens when I change Superbru predictions too. I have a feeling it's more misses than hits.

And you're not far from correct as he (Hilarious) is just one point behind the user in the 1st position. Just viewed the tottenham prediction outcome and more than 10 participants predicted the match outcome correctly (1-1 draw), is that what Mourinho has turns tottenham into? The lineup/formation didn't even show any attacking intention Instead it was a defensive formation and luckily for them Ali scored the penalty if not it would had been another loss.



Without Keane and Son, Tottenham doesn't have that much power to score. If you see the last few games, they scored very hard against mediocre teams. Also, they have poor defence and I can't remember when they have a clean sheet. I wouldn't count on them winning in the next period.

@Trofo yeah I agree. Credit to Atleti for their style of play and being able to pummel good teams into submission, like they did to Liverpool. But that kind of play is hardly sustainable, and if they think they can get the same thing done at Anfield, they're in for trouble. I know they're now confident and I'm counting on that. Liverpool are stuttering but they still have this killer instinct... like against Bournemouth, they sensed that weakness in the middle, and needed all of 15 minutes to exploit it and get the goals. We'll do that again, we just need to find the one kink in Atleti's armour.

What a low goal scoring week this turned out to be, 5 fixtures at 4pm and all produced just 4 goals, this is the kind of week Hilarious would thrive in, that's if he chose the right teams in terms of win/draw, though.

Sometimes I wonder how great coaches turn into wasteful product, his player management skills also sucks as I read he'll throwing shot at Ndombele (tottenham record signing) for not inspiring his players, same statement he made towards Paul Pogba and Fred and look at how fred is striving under Ole which just shows Fred wasn't the problem, Mourinho was.

So many low scoring games today, I rarely ever go for 1-0 or 0-0. It feels too much of a risk but well done to you guys who scored well today.

Hopefully the Manchester Derby is exciting to watch tomorrow.
I also have another worst week as many shocked results and position in pool is also going down badly look like now its very hard to reach in top 10.

Damn! Next time, lock your picks  Wink
Not a bad advise. This is the 2nd time I lost because I was confuse and changed my picks at the last minutes. Not gonna do it anymore, there are no third time LOL
Now it seems I lost my 2nd place.

I am not having a satisfactory round for long time, honestly speaking.

Good thing that I avoided all the PL games from today in my bet slips, odds were kinda meh, and the fact that there weren't that many goals scored means that i probably would've lost my accas since i always go with either O2.5 goals or BTTS  D:

In the Tottenham match I had 1 - 1 draw and then at the last minute I thought to go with 0 - 1 win for Tottenham and turns out I was right on my first pick. It seems This match is going to finish at 1 - 1 🤔

... I also think Atletico won't know what hit them at Anfield. Not over yet, not even close.

Really hope you are right. Atletico has found a bit of a scoring form lately and Liverpool doesn't look that good in the defense. Should help if Alisson & Robertson recover before the game. Cudos to Atletico for their fighting spirit but I hate to watch their football Smiley

Hey you Liverpool supporters, are you getting a bit uneasy now? The week of truth is upon us. If Liverpool doesn't manage to win against Atletico, and they will probably need a 2 goal win (away goals) their season is basically over in mid March. They would be out from all competitions and league title is already theirs. This just shows how cruel professional sports can be. Until 2 weeks ago Liverpool had the best season in history and now they end up with nothing but league title. If somebody asked LFC supporters before the season started if they would be happy with league title and early exit from all other competitions I am sure they would sign up immediately, but after the start like Liverpool had I guess the appetites have grown.

An excellent argument, it just shows how competitive football is and how hard it is to dominate. A bad spell in the wrong moment, few bad calls, an injury to a key player and a perfect season can be over before you know it. We see it so often, that's the reason I never say that top coaches have underachieved if they don't win something every season. Liverpool won last year's CL final, if they lost that one their almost perfect season would be a trophyless one.

Every fan would have taken that championship so I'm good, I also think Atletico won't know what hit them at Anfield. Not over yet, not even close.

I didn't any see any of the matches, I just imagine how boring they'd have been. I should be at about 4.5 or so points this week already, way off my zero points from last week, still keeping my fingers crossed for one of those weekly prizes.

@Pamoldar: 2/9 is 1.22, The odds I saw on my bookie was 1.26, which ended up 1.29x after price boost (13/10). So no, there's no typo, your bookie's giving you bad odds =p Alisson injured so 1.3 is about right!

Which bookies it was?
I was seeing 2/3 even when Liverpool was 1 goal behind! 1.29x boost seems insane and 13/10 is crazy against Liverpool. I am sure you are going to make tons today.

Mane and Salah are on fire today. I expect Firmino to score one too. He missed a very good chance earlier.

P.S. So glad Mane took the second goal himself, he shoulda done it the first time too, thank God Salah's finish was pinpoint as the layoff was pretty shit haha.
I am not going to complain. It was a good example of team work. And Salah does not miss chances are like this.
