Actually, I wanted to indicate that Everton couldn't defeat them away since that year. But I have realized just now that I didn't add this information so I will edit it, thanks. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Everton will most probably make them difficulties here and it is not going to be easy for Manchester United. Manchester United already lost to Aston Villa and they are under pressure to win this time. Let's see what kind of a result we will witness at the end. Everton will be most likely without Calvert Lewin and Richarlison who are the main goalscorers for them. It would be an easier task for United to defend against them. United also need to score and I think that would be a bit difficult but well let's see. Like I earlier said, United need to take things seriously and avoid any mistakes especially in defence.

Arsenal have been attracting my attention a lot as they have started a really good form for three matches. And they succeeded in even defeating Tottenham by 3-1 also. As they have a three win streak, I wonder what they will be able to do in their next match against Brighton. It is an away match for Arsenal and Brighton started the season great. They were nearly being the leader if they won against C. Palace yesterday.
Well why won't they. They are one of the big teams of PL and their starting matches were quite bad and had many fans wondering about the issue. Now after the Derby win there is another PL contender back into action. Sti it is tto early to say but hope they at least make a better finish than last season.

As an Arsenal fan, I am so happy. We needed some wins to get some confidence and to beat a side like Spurs with 3 goals cushion at half certainly brings a lot of confidence. Spurs were sloppy and lazy today and are paying the price for it. Job well done Gunners ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Ughhh, being arsenal fans... it must be depressing thesedays ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) congrats by the way, 3-1 isnt easy one to get in the north london derby. 3 wins and 3 loses in the first 6 matches is not a good start indeed for arsenal, but there is a lot of room to improve and get even better, nobody knows arsenal with the current poor situation could surprised the world by winning everything this season right? it could be a good bet tho. oh and saka play it really well as usual, this young man ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Well everyone gets bad days. Even Chelsea once did under Lampard. Just the difference is that we are struggling for a long time and that puts a question on status as a big 6 team. We needed a win against strong team and getting 3 points out of North London Derby has really boosted fan support and team morale. Yeah but there is still lot to improve and I hope Arsenal continue to perform like this and not make defensive errors like in earlier games.

Complexity 0 - 16 Faze Clan WTF?! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) phew! at least my ticket won Yeah it was very surprising to watch. This was the same map where complexity gave Navi huge trouble in their match. To be honest Ancient so much surprising map. It is fair to say underdog can surprise a big side easily in this match. Glad that you won something there toma.

Navi registers another win and continues their streak to 7 wins back to back. Still I would say given the changes complexity have been going through, they also did very well to reach to their group upper finals. They really pushed Navi in ancient and didn't gave any room to grab up some pace. es3tag was a beast in ancient with 25-7 (K/D) and actually he is a great player but haven't yet found a proper team where he can make his place kinda strong. Hope that complexity will be the team where he will enjoy a spot for a good amount of time. He deserves some good chance IMO.

Sloppy defending and mistakes has been something that has been worrying for Manchester United. Today there were lot of mistakes from De Gea and Maguire that gave Aston Villa some beautiful chances to score but they didn't properly capitalized on that. TBH Aston Villa deserved the win today given how United performed today. It was really horrible show from United and that costed them 3 points. They need to improve their defence if they seriously want to have shot at the title.

Watford tried so hard to be able to promote back to the English Premier League this season and I believe they will want to avoid being relegated. Watford will have the advantage of playing against Newcastle United in their home stadium and since Newcastle United are in terrible form at the moment, I think today should be a good day for Watford to gain 3 points and move up higher on the table.
Newcastle have some good pacy players nad it would be a good test for Watford to hold them down. Watford have been performing decent so far but they have to do more than that to ensure their place in PL next season. Sarr would be the one to look for in Watford while Maximin, Almirion are to one to look in Newcastle. It would be a good contest between the two.

in my opinion as a chelsea fan... the scenario of rudiger going to munich and de ligt coming in to chelsea, there is no perfect moment than this. we got a cash and shopping right after the deal done, replacing a player with golden age like rudiger with a bright future player in de ligt.
perfect scheme. i'd love to hear more news like this. not to mention that i really appreciate rudiger much for his service but nothing bigger than the club itself.
If that's the case then it would be a good deal. But still there would be question hanging over if De ligt will be able to fit the role perfectly like Rudiger did. Right now Rudiger is very solid and personally I don't think Chelsea should sell him and should put on "not for sale" for anyone approaching the club for the player. Honestly I have doubt over De ligt. Yeah he is a good and potential but the price would be high and there would be always doubt over if he would be able to perform.

i went with the NaVi handicap
off to a good start with the one-man army taking OG's map pick...Dust2 next, not super confident about this one, NaVi are very inconsistent here. If things go south then i'll go with NaVi to win Mrg, it's their second best map
Nice idea with if things went a bit challenging for Navi there but with quite a dominant show on Overpass which was OG pick and now they are off to Dust 2 which is quite Navi playground, I think it is very hard for OG to make a comeback here given how strong Navi is at Dust 2. later today, FaZe - COL...it's Coldzera's debut with Complexity...i don't see any value in prematch so i'll probably watch the gane and go with some live bets It would be a good one to watch- Coldzera vs former team ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

That's very interesting. No doubt that there would be lot of interest given the performance Rudiger has been giving ever since working under Tuchel. But given the way he has been playing in Chelsea and how essential he is now in Tuchel's plan, I don't think it would be easy for them. It would be a big heavy price to match to make Rudiger move to Bayern camp.

Martial has wasted the opportunity to show his performance to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against West Ham, even though at that time Martial was played by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the first minute, but he was only able to create 3 kicks and only 1 shot on target. I think the martial laziness in moving to find the ball was the reason for Manchester United defeat in that match.
I think Ole should have Ronaldo on the bench just in case things didn't went right and it did actually. These are the matches when manager usually uses their players who haven't find enough playing minutes but still it is crucial to some degree for the club. He just came down from injury so yeah I did expected not a good play level from him from the start.

^ Exactly. But will Daniel Levy pay for what United will be asking for him tho. He stillhas up to 2025 in his contract. And Marital getting a new big, fat contract at United a year ago is beyond me. He’s not worth it imho.
United would try to offload some of their gunpower but I think Ole is gonna keep him unless they are not targeting a new young striker. Ronaldo is delivering but they gotta keep one for the future. Also yeah price tag would be lot more than what he is delivering right now and I don't think Spurs are gonna push on if they get a big price tag to match. He's not worth it , I agree.

Getting eliminated from this cup is not so great because it's about time that OGS wins a trophy for Manchester United because at the end of the season getting the EFL Cup better then going trophyless for one more season. The game had many chances created by Manchester side bur their striker Marial failed to get a ball in the net. That's why before the start of the game their have been some rumors that Martial have been given green light to be sold this January. The arrival of Ronaldo and Sanches and the rapid development of Greenwood limits his time at Old Trafford and when Rashford gets back his chances will be lesser to feature.
Martial has been out of form and ever since he came back from injury. Yeah he is getting very little time and coming back from injury he needs time to get back into some sort of run but guess he does not. Still West Ham were very strong defending. Hammers defense was very great and Areola was great too in his first match for hammers pulling off some spectacular saves. Even at some points they were lucky as well.

^^ Right now BIG seems too much to handle for G2. It actually did seemed to me like a G2 likely win but given BIG is playing I am afraid I must say I picked the wrong choice. At the moment they are level in map 2 with 10-10 scoreline but there must be lot of pressure on G2 and BIG have a time to toy with them.
It feels like they need more time or they reached their peak last IEM tournament. Their regression seems similar to mousesports, I remember the time when they used to have good results on lan then they fell off hard later on and made some roster change. Yeah feels like they are now. G2 are kinda on a bad form now. Mousesports huh? those were golden days for them. ropz, frozen, Chrisj, kaarigan and woxic, what a team they were. Kinda were pain in the ass for all the other pro teams for quite some year if I recall correctly until they fall drastically. my Prediction for tomrrow in the Blast Premier Fall: Natus Vincere vs OG Navi win the last 5 matches in arrow and OG win 4 of 5 matches in the past, that gone be a great match. and last jear the same match Natus vs OG and OG win last jear ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Natus had the better chance to win this jear im think they win. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) FaZe clan vs Complexity gaming last match in cologne win FaZe and im hope FaZe win again im like this team. Navi are on a form with the current team. Coordination is perfect, calls are perfect and so Navi very very likely to win this one. Faze vs Complexity is a bit tough to call. I am bit inclined towards Faze given complexity has been ongoing some changes.

The deal between Everton and Al Rayyan for James Rodriguez is complete, he passed his medical today as well. A really weird transfer, he was in Real Madrid a few years ago and started really well at Everton last season, he's fairly young and I did not expect he will end up somewhere in Qatar.
I always liked him as a player, but a lot of technically gifted players that do not really participate in the defensive part of the game end up at Qatar or UAE or USA too early.
I must say it's very sad. He would have provided a lot of support to the strikers at Everton like he used to when Ancelotti was there. Qatar can give him all the money but will he enjoy that football level? I really doubt it. I actually now wonder what's his impression of Ancelotti now that he kinda ditched him. I think Everton could have made still a great use of him but they rather chose to sell him out in order to save his wages. Still Everton have made some great transfers like Gray and Townsend.

I’m not going to start proclaiming we’ll definitely beat Brentford but just put it this way, I will be very disappointed if Liverpool fail to beat Brentford. I know they’ve started the season well but we are LFC, we mean business this season.
Things are all positive for Reds. Brentford confidence would be on another level but don't forget that right hand side of Liverpool is very very strong. I kinda miss Elliot on the right hand side after his horrible injury but let's not forget Salah and Arnold have been a deadly duo on the right hand side and well rest of the team are performing as well. BTW Salah is on 99th goal for the Reds so very sure he is gonna score one. It would be fun one to watch. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Tuchel changed tactics, used players more effectively and brought confidence back to them. He improved Chelsea a lot after one year in Stamford Bridge. This season can be a promising one for him and Chelsea. The win days ago against Tottenham shows two fact: Tottenham can not compete for title and Kane was right in the summer. Chelsea will be one of best candidates in Premier League 2021 - 2022.
One of the things under Lampard was that he in order to trying discipline his players didn't used his players in which he wasn't in good terms with for example like Alonso, Rudiger and watch them now how good they perform defensively. Yeah Tuchel also did change tactics but it was a bit of attitude that actually take previous manager out. Right now Tuchel is doing great job and with the addition of a perfect finisher things has gone very easy for Blues and I think they should at least make it into top 3 (worst case scenario).

In group B, there will be a G2-BIG match, the winning team will be matched with NIP. Both teams are not stable in their last match. I was hopeful for this team when BIG beat Navi, but after that match they almost always lost. For the win as a result of this match. sounds BIG close to me. Maybe I would prefer 2.5 over.
I think G2 will win. G2 have been in a tough spot for quite some time but they really have good players and they are starting to show some coordination. On other hand, BIG must be pumped up and also won't back down easily. It's pretty hard to call a winner but it does feel like over 2.5 to me. Also I am rooting G2 here btw.
