another draw for Everton, and it seems that it is it for this season, four matches to go, home fixture with City, it will be hard to expect to avoid relegation
we started good yesterday, until goal, and than stopped to conceieve two fast goals, afterwards it was a battle and it looks as both Lwicester and Everton can't play a 90 minute match

onwards ro Brighton next Monday, but that is why from expecting anything

I agree with you, if I had to pick any team to represent the English league in the UEFA Champions League, it would be Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea. I wouldn't want Brighton or Newcastle to be participating in that competition anytime soon, we don't want another Leicester and Tottenham CL story, I don't trust Arsenal or Manchester United either, but both clubs are likely to make it anyways then back to the Europa after few games. same story.

Yep, I didn't want to say it but Leicester proved what should have been known -- you need experience to win at that highest level, and you sort of have to earn your badge at Europa first. Spurs at least made it to the final and allowed us to win it heh. United, well, I feel like they're not really CL material, not with this team anyway, not since Fergie left.

City has to lose one more league match, I'm hoping, got bets lined up against them as soon as market appears. I really don't want them to win the treble haha.

I feel sorry for Everton tbh.  They were a permanent fixture in the upper midtable of the EPL during the genius Moyes reign in the club.  The moment Moyes left for United, they wanted more and started splashing the cash on players and hiring manager they thought could take them to the top 4, that's when everything started falling apart. 

It would've been a more prudent move to have hired Moyes back as soon as he became available imho.  But hindsight is 50 - 50.  :/

Disappointing season for my team LFC, but to have to try to keep winning and hope for a miracle like Newcastle or Man Utd to blow up.

5th is probably the best we can do but it’s better than ending up in that crap Conference League.

We play Fulham & Brentford in back to back home games this week. Here’s hoping for 6 points and a slip up by Newcastle or Man Utd.

Our gifts will continue as long as Lampard is still around; he is unlikely to win a single game until his contract expires; every Chelsea game is worth betting a small sum on.

I have been putting Chelsea against my tickets and so far so good. Problem is all the other bets on multilegs lose. If I had been wise enough to just put money on Chelsea singles (them losing) I would be something like 30x up already now

I couldn't check my Superbru account because of being outside all day and couldn't make a prediction on the match. This was very sad for me as I thought this match would end up with a draw. Leicester's missing a penalty while it was 2-1 and a 2-2 final score reminded me of the West Ham - Arsenal match. A similar scenario happened there as well after Saka's missing a penalty.

I actually picked Everton to win because they really needed it, but still even Vardy can pop up to remember everyone he is still available to score goals. Maybe his last season in Premier League, I'm not surprised if he scores more often now in last few games.

 I really dont like that change made it by UEFA some years ago, im talking about of the slot to UCL bring by the champion, in the past foe example if Man City win the UCL they freed another slot to EPL, so Liverpool or whaetver team it was in the 5 position goes to UCL.

But now that slot goes to X team in X league depending of the overall ranking.

Yeah, if we win this stretch of 5 games, I'll actually be happy even with Europa... honestly even with Conference (but we can't get worse than Europa if we win everything left huh).

Mainly because it will mean we actually can play and win with our fit squad (all the attackers, that is), and even with a creaking midfield (I say this being about 10 years older than them heh)... so it will hopefully mean even a less-than-desired upgrade (read as not Bellingham) could do wonders.

But next season I'll always worry, what if we get a couple of injuries again to our front?

I think Liverpool has no difficult games ahead and Europa League I think is a great achievement for this season gone ashtray since early on.Now it looks like Liverpool has found the gear again and is going,really entertaining game against Tottenham last week but we need to make sure that no team can equalize us as easy as Tottenham did.Tonight I think we should comfortably win against a Leeds that is suffering throughout all this season and there is no reason for Liverpool to lose points tonight,everything seems fit for another victory for Liverpool which as I said has found the rhythm again.

I hate to say it, but Manutd are not Europa league material either, having been there all season and getting knocked out by Seville every time, Is the Europa League really so difficult? I don't get why it's tough for others because the only two occasions we downgraded to the league, we won it twice without losing a single game.

Always play Chelsea as single with +1 handicap to boast odds.

I thought that Manchester City would finish the job in the first half already. However they finished the half with a 0-0 tie against West Ham. They weren't very productive in offense.


I can't imagine Liverpool in a place other than the Champions League. However the UEFA Europa League has also started to be quite difficult in the recent years. I remember a Manchester United-Barcelona matchup in last 32.

[swogerino]

I got lucky in tonight games as I got 4 points out of six and I doubt anyone to have predicted a correct score to Liverpool honestly although I would not be surprised if anyone did  .I thought Liverpool to win 3-1 which was my prediction on the pool and I also had Manchester City 3-0 as correct score which I luckily got it.

It does not matter when Manchester City finished the job,the first half or the second as long as they get the three points and are now one point ahead Arsenal with one game less,things look pretty easy for Manchester City to become Champions of the Premier League now.

Very strange to see this short result in Anfield, more considering both teams are good on ofensive, and weak in defense.

Liverpool still need to cover some things, you cant play that bad in defense, Fulham without doing so much generate really risk situations, also until the last play Fulham had the draw in the foot of the Cordova Reid.

City game i dont see it so i cant talk.

Liverpool for me honestly always with a surprise in their gameplay. Last time i was thinking there wasnt gonna be any goals against Tottenham and ended up being a lot. Now i expected a lot and only 1-0 and there were a couple of chances on both sides in the second half. Liverpool with an important win for the champions league race

[Igebotz]

Lol, no team has ever survived a title race against Manchester City, these guys are cheat code, a team with two first super IX? How can a team that plays Saka and Odegaard every week withstand that? We all know what happened the last time Manchester United tried it. Pep is a tactical genius; he never lets his players burn out; everyone is rotated and gets plenty of rest. This Pep system will last another 3-4 years. Engaging a tittle race with City is akin to pitting a tortoise against a horse.

Happy Liverpool fan? sticking to Klopp was the best decision ever. Call me crazy but I'm deeply missing Harry fcking Graham Potter. Thank you Lampard

That Halaand goal hurt a lot. I was too close to collecting two exact points today, one from Liverpool and one from this City game, but Halaaand ruined the party as usual, haha. It wasn't a bad night after all, I collected 6 points, 1 exact, 3 close points, retained 13th place, 4 ponts off top 10, another good night tomorrow and I'll be on 300.

Top 5 is possible? 7 points off. lets see.

Probably gonna last for another season or two. Some team gotta put a stop on City because its getting boring at this point to watch City win 4 out of the 5 last EPL trophy and they are going to win another one this season. It feels somewhat like Bundesliga where Munich literally dominate that league almost every season

Just wondering this, how do you set night mode on superbru?

[casperBGD]

City is closing to secure the title, hoping for them to get there before match with Everton, so they gave us a bit of space in relegation battle

Liverpool is really unpredictable this season, after 7+, they played 0-1 goals against Fulha

let's United against Brighton tonight, seems that CL fight is not over

[slaman29]

I meant playing on Chelsea to lose, actually single, it has been around 5x or more every last few games (except Champions League where it was still good odds on Real).

Chelsea handicap lately is just something like 2.5x, not so great for me.

Yeah, to be honest I never really felt anything like a connection to English teams but at least I can feel like neutral support for teams like Arsenal or even Liverpool, it feels like they don't use "cheat codes" like City and even United or Chelsea (buy Star player and win) but City takes it to new levels with super cheat code. Chelsea tried to use it but failed badly, lol

Look at Liverpool and Spurs and Arsenal, using same players every season who play full games like 40 or even 50 games, of course they are tired and injured. How do you compete with fresh squad, City B is as good as any team.

[cryptofrka]

I'm really not getting my hopes up. We have 4 winnable games, but even if United fails to win today they will still be in a great position.
If Liverpool wins all 4 games (which we probably won't), United still needs to win just 3 games until the end of the season. Same with Newcastle.

It’d be a great escape for us wouldn’t it. I’m not getting my hopes up either but imagine sneaking into 4th place on the final day. It’d almost feel like winning a trophy

Yeah, it's ok.  You guys are in good hands with the owners and the manager.  And it's really hard to be dominant year in, year out these days as the league has become more competitive...  Even Newcastle started challenging for top 4 after years of nothing..  Sucking?  Whatever you get the point.  Lolol.  

And it's kinda half expected under Klopp that you'll go through some kind of rut just like what happened with him at BVB.  The thing is just to stick with him as he'll def turn things around eventually.
