Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

^  Well said.  I have to say...  I don't think I've ever read a post that long that made any sense in the gambling section.  Almost all of the time, it's just a mindless repeat of what's already been said and nothing else.

Anyway good luck to LFC and Klopp.

Thanks buddy... to be honest, these days I mostly skim through the thread titles on Page 1 to find anything interesting. Otherwise I look through the forum and look at last replied by, and sometimes it's just the familiar name that gets me reading. We've got quite a lot of crap but yeah, sometimes it's these gambling ones that are the worst, because everybody knows enough about football to try and repeat what a guy said a few posts above, in a different way.

Is it my imagination or has that crap gone down a bit since world cup? It used to be really bad earlier this year.

Thanks for the good wishes. Liverpool or anyone else, the EPL needs a new champion. I have good hopes for Newcastle to get Europa action too.

Since 2008-2009, Liverpool have not been more ready on paper to win the league title than their current position after a market has dealt with their weakness .Now the opposite of "what's on paper" remains to see "on "The move by Liverpool this summer means they are serious on their project, but the desire to implement it after the Premier League season has been on the rise for many years.

The latest arrivals were Brazilian goalkeeper Allison from Rome became the world's most expensive goalkeeper, the Reda continue to break the record after signing up with the world's most expensive defender Van Djik last winter, and this increase pressure over Klopp this season as they are going to need some silverware to lift I think there summer window have closed unless they go for the overkill by bringing Nabil Fekir as they already got Shaqiri and spent money on Nabi keita and Fabinho.

Keita: 8, Firminho: 9, Mane: 10, Salah: 11. That's what I call a really lovely set of Jersey numbers. Keita's of course not proven anything but his early season outings seem to indicate he won't take long to settle into the high tempo of attacking Liverpool demands. I hope Milner keeps his legs a few more years, to see someone almost my age just burn up the grass at every match is breathtaking. Just a big pity we've lost Ox, and Lallana never looks confident.

I wouldn't say we've never been more ready. I remember thinking the Suarez season where the Gerrard slip cost us the title, that everything was so special and couldn't be better. Liverpool's new team still has a lot of things to learn and we have so few mature people in the squad. But there's every reason to feel optimistic about our chances to go high, and at least give the champion a run for their money. Last season was so meek, everyone gave City an easy time (except Liverpool ahaha).

I would say we need another solid CB, but who knows, maybe our World Cup silver medallist will become the steady rock he always tried and failed to be.

Yes brothers!
I’m excited about our chances this season. I have a feeling it’ll be a fight between City & Liverpool.
Keita looks really good in pre season so far. I think the most important signing is Alisson though, as we saw in Kiev you can’t win anything with a crap goalkeeper.

Who knows, maybe we get Fekir in through the door late on in the transfercwindow. This is the beet squad of my lifetime already though.

Look at the spine of the team - Alisson—-VVD——Keita/Fabinho——Firmino/Salah/Mane
Are there many better in world football?

Liverpool looks like go all in for the next season, Klopp buy many good players on defense position. Liverpool looks very promising, with alisson+vvd and firmino+salah+mane, good at defense and attack, wow gonna wait for it.

[Aqualung89]

West Ham made good transfers this year, but he could not give any anticipation of last year. Actually, even if we look at how robust transfer is done, the game ends in game understanding.

Do you know what's gonna happen with Karius? I read some rumours about him going to some low-tier english club but I don't remember the name. Some other rumours say that Bayern Munich are interested in Karius (I think this BS lol )

Who knows, maybe we get Fekir in through the door late on in the transfercwindow.

You already have Shaqiri    but Lyon confirmed that Fekir will stay in France for another season https://twitter.com/OL/status/1005513163624861696 although, english media keep saying that Liverpool are still trying to sign him

Look at the spine of the team - Alisson—-VVD——Keita/Fabinho——Firmino/Salah/Mane

Barcelona: Ter Stegen--Pigué--Busquets--Messi/Suarez/Coutinho. Man City: Ederson--Stones--Fernandinho/De Bruyne--Aguero/Sané/Silva. Real Madrid: Keylor--Ramos--Casemiro/Modric--Bale/Isco/Asensio...to name a few. Though in terms of development, Liverpool do have a very promising squad.

[swogerino]

In the premier league the favourite to win the title is still Manchester City. Although many other teams like Liverpool have made pricey transfers of good players to them I don't think that they can run for the title this year. They have not continuity in their game play. I am not an expert but this can be easily spotted.

Did you read the Don Balon article by any chance? Reportedly Bayern Munich are willing to pay 12 million euros for Loris Karius and Niko Kovac allegedly approves of the goalkeeper so maybe Karius could reignite his career in Germany? Well he is still an elite league goalkeeper isn't he? I think he would be better off leaving the Premier League for now and getting comfortable again somewhere else. What's a better place than his home country?

I'm going to go one further and say that City will face fierce competition not only from the Reds but from a re-energised Spurs, a new-look Arsenal too. I mean, who else plays such positive football right? Chelsea maybe back in contention? I don't know, it's like they've lost their way (trying not to forget they were champions twice in the last 5 seasons!).

Mourinho looks totally ragged now, but you never put United down so early.

But ouf yes, back to Liverpool. Keita's always looked hot to me, I'm just hoping his red cards last season don't carry over. I've not had confidence in goal since Reina left, tbh, I even think Dudek is much better than Karius/Mignolet. I miss the days when we had good keepers with good distribution, but as long as we have a commander in defence (VVD is good but I'd prefer a keeper to tell everyone what to do).

Looks like I'm not the only one sensing the Fekir deal isn't dead just yet too. I mean, Alisson was a big surprise tbh.

And no, not many that better. We've got great fullbacks too, I wouldn't trade our front 3, or wingbacks for anyone at all.

Here's to Liverpool to beat Dortmund @2.1. Why not? Since they won me my first pre-season bet with Blackburn: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=%2BZ50FOyOA7K78R5mTtq%2Fw%2FQobdhMGB0OkOAEDugFhTw%3D

[LFC_Bitcoin]

@tomahawk9 - Danny Ward (Liverpool’s 3rd choice GK) has joined Leicester. I think Mignolet will leave on a permanent transfer somewhere (rumours of Barcelona as their number 2 GK Cillessen could be leaving).

Regarding Karius I think he’ll stay as back up to Alisson.

Karius’s confidence will be smashed to pieces after Kiev, he already started pre season making a bad fuck up. I think he needs to stay out of the limelight because opposition fans & players would tear him to pieces if he was playing. He needs to train hard, get his confidence back & rebuild his career before moving maybe next season.

Alisson is the main man now.

from the latest news about Liverpool their transfers window is done I really doubt that they will be bringing Fekir this season they had a successful summer transfer window but maybe they are going to bring Croitia Center back Vida from besiktas to pair him with Lovren as they proved to be great partnership after WC but I prefer to see them go for Godin from Atletico instead he is a far better player in my opinion but at the end I hope to see either of them with the reds as he will add more depth for the squad while Fekir looking now far from joining plus he is now he will not find a starting spot in the squad and I don't think that his playing style is suitable for Klopp I think at first they contacted him for fear to lose Salah but after his renewal and bringing Shaqiri no room left for him. As for Alisson I hope I see him achieve the expectation of the fans.

[Juggy777]

Yes there is no doubt that Liverpool has one of the craziest and best squad available but see what Pullsic did to them says it all, they somehow fail to click on the main stage, and I believe that'll the case this time around to. If one goes on paper teams I would rate Liverpool first, Man City Second, Manchester United third, and so so on but then it's epl things change quickly.

Well we still have 2 more weeks+ for transfer window on premier league, i think Chelsea will buy some more players and Liverpool maybe 1 more player? Btw just watched the highlight on liverpool ICC, Karius is so sucks lol, i'm glad Liverpool buy a new goalkeeper Alisson. Is Alisson will be fill the spot 1 goalkeeper or still karius?

Yeah, all this preseason doesn't really say much. Liverpool that played last night (I only watched til 78th minute so missed the last 2 goals) didn't look anything like last season's goal. VVD scored and no one celebrated. Karius did an awful clearance that almost led to a goal. And I lost my first Liverpool bet of the post 2017/18 season haha.

Paper would still rate City first though... they've got a squad that's already gelled last time around.

Bro last night was a friendly. Did you see the team?
Henderson, Alisson, Lovren, Mane, Salah, Firmino didn’t even get on the pitch.

A friendly in America is far from ‘the main stage’.

He shouldn't go to a top club, especially a club like Bayern, where pressure is high as Bayern Munich main objetive is to win the treble at the end of the season. Psychologically, I don't think it'll be good for him, he should go to a mid-table team where he can feel valued again, and Germany like you said could be the best environment for him right now.

Hmm, no, they don't have such squad.

Have you seen what Karius posted on Instagram after yesterday's match vs Borussia Dortmund?

To those who take joy in seeing other people fail or suffer, I feel for you.
Whatever it is that's happening in your life to hold this much anger and hate, I pray that it passes and good things come to you.

Obviously the guy is very rattled and can't handle the pressure and the haters in Liverpool any more so maybe the right decision is to move to a new club as fast as possible. Even if Klopp wishes to keep him I think the right thing for both Karius and the club is to let him go somewhere else.

[tokeweed]

^  He should, I mean after a performance like that in the final of the most prestigious tourney in club football.  It must have been a traumatic experience that will haunt him wherever he goes and at what club.

Tho Klopp claims Karius had a concussion or something...  Dunno how true that is.  Lol.

That's simply an excuse being thrown about by the Liverpool fans. But i agree that he should leave the club so that he can get a new start in his footballing career because as long as the club, It's going to haunt him for the rest of his life.

I think he underwent a thorough examination at a Boston hospital and was diagnosed with concussion. This begs the question of why he wasn't substituted during the CL final if he really had a condition. Karius could have informed Klopp he wasn't feeling well or something. I don't know what to believe as this sounds like a very cheap excuse for his blunders.
