The scoreline was rather a perfect description of how the match played out, overall, it was an even match. Wolfsburg where somewhat the better team in the first half, but they weren't much of a threat after the break and Hoffenheim really could have really stolen 3 points with their performance during the second half.

After 5 matches RB Leipzig are still topping the Bundesliga table with 13 points, while Bayern are 2nd position with 11 points, Dortmund aren't too far off on 3rd with 10 points.

Did anyone watch the FIFA Mens Awards 2019 ? Messi was named as the Best FIFA Men’s Player of the year, just ahead of Van Dijk and Ronaldo. Congratulations to Messi, I thought we were going to have 2 consecutive seasons without Messi or Ronaldo claiming the award with both of them losing to Luca Modric in the previous edition.

I'd say we should all leave the judgements until each team has to play 3 games every 7-8 days there you'll know how much more Man City will be effective. I think players rotation will be Man City greatest advantage yet again this season.

Anyone could argue that Sterling is currently Man City's best player this season but they are capable of playing effortlessly without him, the same thing goes for any City player. How do you think Liverpool would fair if they lose Van Dijk and Lovren to injury or having to play without Mane ?

The truth is that both team will definitely drop more points, but as it currently is I'd still bet on Man City to win the league, with all due respect to Liverpool.

There is no problem with Barcelona style of play. The only problem(s) we are currently facing is Valverde and Bartomeu. Just get rid of these two entities and Barcelona will be back to its old glory.

Couldn't have been more 8-9 odds, Usually it's not always worth it for me considering I could lose the very often despite getting the right outcome 

And maybe I'm only good at it when there is nothing at stake, Considering how awful I've been in the EPL Pool 

Atalanta - Fiorentina looks really difficult to predict for me, I'd avoid placing any bets on the game... but I can guess over 2.5 goals would be a hit.

I really don't even know what to expect from the game. However, I don't think Real Madrid will drop any points today.

Sevilla have been quite impressive this season they've won 3 and drew 1, but I don't see them as being invincible. I'll go with 3 - 1 in favour of Real Madrid.

I think the Mods and Everyone are overlooking the thread and consider it a closed case already, probably due cases we've seen countless times of users who just keeps ranting despite knowing what they've done wrong.

I'm not sure if that'd be considered as an unsolicited message, but if it wouldn't be, I think OP should PM Hilariousandco or Xa0lex (since they've replied to this thread before) with the updated info which shows it's a mistake and they've been wrongly banned. I'm sure they'll take a minute or two to look into this case.

I got only 1 point yesterday mate  

I could have had 2.5 too, but I decided to change my initial 1 - 1 pick to go for Newcastle to win 2 - 1, It backfired. I already locked my remaining picks for the week.

Should be a an interesting game to see, I'm looking forward to an upset today. I have this slight believe that Chelsea could string a surprise today. Liverpool are in top form in the EPL but you never never can tell.

West Ham vs Manchester Utd is another match to look forward, The reds are without a host of key players including Pogba and Martial, will they be able to defeat a similarly inform West Ham. I think this could end up as a draw.

They are playing a badly and that's just it. They are times where no matter how you try the ball just doesn't want to go in, Yesterday's game definitely wasn't one of those days, Barcelona registered only a shot on target for the entire 90 minutes of the match. you don't win game just by possessing the ball for entirety of a match.


Tactically, Valverde is a disgrace to modern football of Barcelona's standard. How can you start Roberto, de Jong, Rakitic all in the midfield position at once ? Was he expecting any sort of creativity from such combination ? Individually these are brilliant players but together(In the midfield) it's shooting yourself in the foot.
 
My Observations:
1. Arthur should have started the game, instead of Rakitic / or Roberto, he's more creative and attack minded and could almost fill the void of Alba's absence on the right flank. I'd rather have had Arthur, De Jong and Rakitic...
2. Griezmann doesn't necessarily have to be on the pitch when it's obvious he's playing out of position which renders him rather ineffective.
3. There is no tactical difference bringing in Vidal for Rakitic the latter is only better in air.

#ValverdeOut

In the end we both were right with our picks, I even went as far as getting the scoreline correctly 

I hope you won your parlay ? I lost mine though. Barcelona 2 - 0 loss to Granada ensured that.

It's half time 2 attempts and no single shot on goal for Barcelona in the opening 45minutes despite having 71% of the ball the possession, Valverde really to need to introduce a few changes very early into the 2nd half, there's a total lack of creativity in the team.

EDIT: Thank God, Messi and Fati have come on. I hope it's not too late 

Early shocker for Barcelona, Granada have taken the lead just 2 minutes into the game.

This is going to be interesting, Valverde has opted the rest a host of key players, as I've guessed he'd do. Hopefully this wouldn't come back to haunt him.

Juventus were able to seal the victory with a goal from the Ronaldo, from the spot kick.

I didn't expect Helas Verona to cause Juventus much trouble, but Juventus struggles even with low placed continues.

Match of the day: Inter vs AC Milan will start in about 45 minutes.

Off topic: I rather find it amazing how you go about from thread to thread slandering reputable websites with thousands of users for supposed "Shenanigans" that only you can prove with your imaginations. Yet you won't spend a single minute to reply to the only one publicly known customer you've ever gotten in his thread with enough proof Game-Protect.com did not refund my money and stopped replying to my emails

Not to derail this thread any further, I think the scoreline was really unfair compared to the performance of the team, Norwich defeated Man City just last with a lesser shots on goal than Watford had today.

I went with 4 - 0 in the pool.

The only significant injury concerns remains Dembele, Umtiti and newly injured Alba that shows a luxury of squad at Valverde's disposal, this should be an easy ride for Barcelona. However, with a total of 4 games to be played within a time frame of ~ 10 days, Valverde might decide to field a less strong team.

They are in the seventh heaven already, I doubt there'd be consolation goal here. I'm gutted with Everton scoreline tbvh, I hope they can savage a draw, I have them on double chance on a parlay.

Brace your self fellas, It's going to be a very long night for the Hornets.

It's now 6 goals, double digits looming, yeah ?

Not anymore would VAR save them.. Bottlers of the century are at it again. Doing what they do best.

The only team Tottenham did better overall in game was to dominate possession, much deserved win for the Foxes. Meaning another prediction gone wrong in the pool for me.
