Xisco Munoz who was appointed in December last year and helped Watford to promote in to Premier League has been sacked and now former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri who helped Leicester to win their maiden PL in 2014 has now been appointed as new Watford manager and has already signed 2 year deal. Watford's management seem restless but they are doing decent IMO.

Anyway Xisco really did a great job and hope he finds a club to manage soon.

A draw with Manchester City makes Liverpool have to stay in second place in the standings and provides an opportunity for Chelsea to be in first position with 16 points, one point adrift of Liverpool who collected 15 points. Both team have played well and draw is the best option although Liverpool keep want to win but last goal from De Bruyne make Liverpool only take one point on this match.

It was a tough fixture and yeah both sides played well. Salah contributed in 1st goal and in second goal he made an amazing solo run mocking City's defence and slotted it inside the net. City needs a good striker. Not sure why Guardiola is still experimenting with Jesus position. He is good as a striker but yet he plays him at wing.

Brentford are fantastic I have been watching the 2nd half and do not let the score line fool you they should be winning this game by more goals. They should probably be winning 2-0 or 3-0 their striker Toney is one of the best strikers in the league and I cannot believe he was a Championship player last season I fully expect him to move to a bigger team in the transfer window. Teams like West Ham and Leicester could use a player like him. I think he could do a job for the top teams as a substitution. I think he is better then Werner who is Chelseas backup and I think he is better then Liverpools backup which is Origi. I wonder what price Brentford would accept because I think he is a homegrown player.

Brentford have a very good story and you will find it quite interesting when you read about their road to PL. Brentford have a very good attack and good defence and their goalkeeper is really marvelous. They are capable of giving big teams a headache with their attack and defence. Take their last game for example where they went very well head to head against Liverpool. Even Klopp didn't hold himself back to praise them. Klopp even praised their goalkeeper  saying that he could wear no. 10 and that for a goalkeeper. That goes to show how well they are performing right now in PL.

Also they are one of the best performing clubs that came from Championship into PL this season.

From what I think Koeman might be nearing his end at Barcelona very soon. They have been having defensive problems for 3 or 4 seasons and now that Messi is gone, their attacking has also collapsed. Having 70% possession means nothing if you can't finish the ball into the net. Coutinho missed an easy chance which he should really have converted. Selling Suarez and Griezmann was a very bad decision. The funny thing is that Suarez scored against them, whom Koeman said that he was not good enough for the club. The irony!
.

Even selling Rakitic was a bad decision. Straight coming into the team he already had his mind set to remove some of the players which were very crucial to the team. Griezmann is gone on loan so not really a permanent transfer but still he would have helped Barca to score some.

I was actually very happy when Suarez scored. It was very hard for Suarez when he left the club. Nice way to pay him back just when the sword of sacking is just swinging around his neck.

Locking in another parlay for today, I got Sinners @1.56, Astralis @1.68 and Faze @1.43 for a total of 3.75 and with the given odds Astralis is the riskiest pick out of the three but I think they'll edge out Complexity here.

This match is crucial for Sinners (to avoid tiebreakers) since Movistar's next match after this is against Endpoint which is the weakest team in their group and Sinners is likely to lose the next as they'll be facing Astralis.

Same goes for Faze they can't afford to drop any series since Double Poney also have the same record.

Astralis have already qualified for the majors. Is there any chance for Complexity still , if there is then I think it won't be easy for Astralis to get a win in this match. Btw it would be nice to see their former teammate es3tag playing against them.

Yesterday, I lost my bet on Vitality to win against ENCE and qualify for the majors earlier but ENCE who had some hopes left for majors spoiled it totally. They were so dominant yesterday. Same goes for other matches as majors are near and teams are pushing very hard even if there are small hopes.

This is Koeman's Barcelona. After 70% ball possession, they lost 2-0. Barcelona's defeat was expected. I even bet on Atletico Madrid winning. But I was surprised that the Barcelona team could not score a single goal even after the ball was in their possession. They are such a weak team now. They will not be in the top 3 of the points table. Their place will be after Sevilla.

Possession is nothing just a stats. It wouldn't give you results until you try some shots and score a goal.

With a 5 man on defence against a side who are struggling to score, I don't find it that surprising that Barca weren't able to score. There are some good players but not sure why they are still unable to get in some points. They need a better manager now, Koeman isn't the right man to do the job.

I feel Manchester United has to thank VAR because Everton won the match only for the goal to be ruled offside, and honestly they deserved to lose this match. Also I soon expect a plane to fly at Old Trafford #OleOut because unless other teams start playing as poorly as Manchester United are playing then this season is doomed too.

United's defense make mistake after mistake when it becomes crucial for them to defend that 1 goal cushion. Not sure what they are telling players in that camp but that sure isn't working out. They could have done better against that counter attack and Everton only had three players in that counter leaded first by Gray then Doucoure and then Townsend to make the finish and how many players United had in front of that counter, I guess 4-5 if am correct. They really should have done better to avoid that goal.

What a play from Chelsea for the second goal but it was all created by one pass from Ross Barkley who made a sweet pass to Azpilicueta on the right and the cross was perfect for the two strikers hanging inside to just tuck the ball in. It was the first touch of Ross Barkley after getting substituted in and it was first goal for Werner in this PL season. Really that pass deserved a result and it did.  Smiley

Defense is Arsenal weakness from season to season so far, I think it's not only this season that Arsenal are weak in defense, even defense in the Wenger era, Arsenal conceded easily because of their lack of solid defense.
After Tomiyasu arrival, it looks like Arsenal's defense is starting to improve a little, but even so I think Arsenal still have to improve their defense in January.

Good point, Tomiyasu have been performing quite well and is doing the job for Arsenal as right back. It is a good thing that they have found a decent replacement for Bellerin now. Still we have yet to see how they perform against touch attack like for example like Chelsea, United, City , Liverpool. It am waiting for those matches and then only we will see how strong the defense of Arsenal has actually become.

I think it's too early to be able to predict Arsenal's victories. Although theoretically they are a superior team, this season they have had very different performances, being capable of the worst and the best. They currently have twice the number of conceded goals compared to scored. This shows how "easy" this season has been to score against Arsenal.

Brighton's defence have become tough and it wouldn't be that easy for Arsenal to break. In last match, Spurs made lot of mistakes in defense due to which they gave away quite some goals in the first half and gave Arsenal a good goal cushion to defend in second. The goals they conceded were in the starting 3-4 matches but in last 3 matches they have conceded only one and actually they have improved in defense. Atleast they are not making that much mistakes as they made in starting matches.

I think ole has lots of work to do in preparation for tomorrow match because his formation/line-up of late isn't helping the team at all

Yeah Ole definitely has lot of things to do especially when Maguire and Shaw is out. He needs to think of proper defensive plan and tactics to work things out in their upcoming match against Everton. I don't think there would be much attacking changes but what United needs is proper defensive plan as right now current defense is not working out at all. The match against Villareal, they allowed too much of space in Villareal's counter attack and that should be the first thing to start with. Lucky for them Richarlison and Lewin likely will sit out so that puts off much of their attacking speed and experience.

In my opinion, Ronaldo could be Manchester  weakness in that match, because of course the Everton defenders will keep Ronaldo movements tight so it will be difficult for Ronaldo to score goals, so far Manchester United are starting to depend on Ronaldo to score goals and of course it will be very dangerous for Manchester United if Ronaldo misses playing due to injury.

Well yeah other team mates are usually looking for him but that's what there job is to do, isn't it? Also even if Ronaldo gets injured there is always Cavani and Martial who can fill up that position. Also there is Greenwood and Rashford who can play in that position as well.


As for depending on Ronaldo to score goals, it's very normal there is nothing wrong with that. He is a goal machine. The last time we depended on Bruno to take PK when Ronaldo was there, you saw what happened.

I am sorry but I seriously dislike the criticism drawn towards Bruno after that penalty miss. Only because there was a far more better penalty taker Ronaldo who you guys think won't miss? Do you know that there is still a chance of missing that whoever is to take the penalty whether it be world class or some new player. With Ronaldo there would be very less margin of error but still there is.

I do wonder now that what would have happened if Ronaldo took that and missed that.

After browsing the scheduled matches I ended up taking these two, Vitality to win @1.64 vs OG and Sinners to win @1.31 vs Endpoint (total odds of 2.15).

Vitality seems like a toss up at first but they have the better map pool and form, whether it be Mirage or Inferno, a win here means one step closer to locking that playoffs spot.

Sinners looked solid after taking down Heroic yesterday and now facing a struggling Endpoint team, this should be a win no matter what.

Looks nice to me. Vitality should win their match against OG given their recent performance run. However OG are capable to surprise but I think Vitality has too much quality and team coordination so I am kinda inclined towards Vitality. As for Sinners vs Endpoint, Sinners to win is an easy pick. Their recent win against Heroic was really superb and they should easily handle endpoint.

Astralis vs Heroic should be a good one to watch.

I have heard about that Manchester United are thinking of replacing Anthony Martial with Tanguy Ndombele too. But actually, the positions of these players are completely different. Hence, Ndombele won't fill Martial's place in case this transfer happens. Maybe Manchester United are thinking of a big striker transfer next summer and want to just get rid of Martial at the earliest opportunity.

Maybe they are thinking of having a good defensive back. He is adaptable to lot of defensive positions so I think its a good choice given how United are performing defensively. They need a strong presence in defence and right now there is none. They could work out without Martial as he already is not finding much playing minutes after arrival of Ronaldo and to be honest it would be hard to compete with him for the position. Better offload from one department and add strength to other.

Football is indeed a teamwork, but now Lukaku has become one of the players who can make a difference in the Chelsea squad, just like Ronaldo at Manchester United.
I don't agree with the comparison between Lukaku and Ronaldo. Ronaldo is at a higher level than Lukaku and CR7 achieves more things than Lukaku in his career. Lukaku is no long young and he does not achieve any big title (Champions League, Euro, Ballon Dor) like Ronaldo.

I think he is not actually comparing Lukaku to Ronaldo but is actually pointing out the crucial role they play for their respective teams and I do agree with him as Chelsea earlier needed a goalscorer and Lukaku is a great player filling out that void and United needed an experienced goalscorer and Ronaldo is filling out that void.

But if we actually compare then obviously Ronaldo far more better than Lukaku like you said.

Sancho haven't adapted fully to the team, is the coach not actually using him very well ? Maybe I think the tactics and formation doesn't suit him.

Sancho has come from Bundesliga and Pl is very fast. IMO Ole is playing him in right position but he needs time to get adapted to the play speed in PL.


Marcus Rashford will be back soon, upfront will be difficult to handle, all I want is for them to gel build an unstoppable Force upfront that beats any defense.... Manchester United needs to start scoring more and defending with clean sheets.
When this works, it gives all the attacking players to score more goals.

United's attack is good, it is defense which takes them back to square one. The mistake they do behind at the pitch gives opponents some good chances to score. Take Villa game for example where they gave away Villa so many chances to score. Yesterday also they were quite open against Villareal. Its the same story over and over again.

good start for me in the IEM Fall   Smiley


took BIG off my blacklist just for today cos that O25.5 was good value  Tongue

I just finished watching it. BIG were pretty bad today, losing to some ecos and being too aggressive, they reminded me why i must keep them on my blacklist for a little longer lol

Glad that you got your wins. That Big vs mousesports map1 bet was close as the score was 16-10. Yeah BIG made their mistakes but mousesports were really good. I think its better to stay away from BIG now.

We have some good matches coming up today in IEM fall. Gambit vs VP, Nip vs Faze, Big vs G2, rest doesn't catch my eye.

The amount of matches scheduled for today is crazy but most odds are one sided though so i'm only focusing on the EU region.

With that said i'm going for BIG vs Mousesports@1.69 during the blast tournament i'm amazed on BIG's turn around performance but I think Mousesports still have the better firepower with frozen and ropz.


BIG vs mousesports would be a good one to watch. I am glad that BIG are finally showing some signs of improvement and mousesports are also performing decent. It will be a close contest and most likely to go to 3 maps but feels a bit hard to call a winner. BIG have good team coordination while mousesports have good firepower like ropz and frozen. They are the only two players who have been in mousesports rest everyone left the team like woxic, ChrisJ and kaarigan and I am quite glad they are there to keep mousesports into game.

It seems like Borussia Dortmund are also one of the teams that are after Manchester United striker Anthony Martial. If Erling Haaland leaves the club at the end of the summer. They will need to fill his place. But I don't think that Martial is the right forward to fill the place in. They should look for much more capable strikers. Otherwise, they will be regretting that they sold Haaland.

They already have some young capable strikers like Moukoko and Malen who was recently signed and already have scored some goals for black and yellow so I think getting Martial would be decent. It would be much more fruitful for United though as they would able to swap an out of form striker for a next world class striker. It wouldn't be easy for United as well as they would be asking for lot of money to let him leave to United.
2180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: September 29, 2021, 05:01:17 PM
If they lose this match, it will be clear that they just leak the coach... You could really see that from the last game. Bruno never hit a penalty kick so bad and on the replay you can see how he purposely hit under the ball to make it fly above the goal. Why didn't Ronaldo take the shot?) According to the rumors, he just didn't want to spoil his reputation. Let's see what happens with Everton

Come on get off the failed penalty... yeah it was a crucial miss but penalty doesn't means every chance has to go at the back of the net. BTW why don't we talk of all the penalties he has took before and ended in the back of the net. That loss was more because of the mistakes they made in those whole 90 minutes as a team and not just because Fernandes missed the penalty.
