Great play from Liverpool to go top of the table. They were not at full pace for the entirety of the match but once they drew level they totally controlled the tempo of the game and did not give Wolves anyway back into the match.
Wolves will definitely rue the missed chances they had in the first half which would have changed how the game ended.

Round and the EPL is yet to have a goaless draw and looking at the other fixtures in this round I do not expect we will get it this match week.

Update: OMG, beauty. We equalized 🥳

I had a 1-1 draw and I was happy to see that but now the score is 1-3 lol. Wolves couldn't hold their nerve till the end. This has been the case all the time with me. I remember how I missed 3 exact points in the last UCL pool just because there was a last-minute goal 

They lost their nerve after the equalizer. The last two goals credit to Salah is due.
Unfortunately my initial pick was 1 - 3 which if I had then I could have full 3 points. Bad luck that I lost 1.5 point for changing mind.

Boys and girls, we are leading the point table with 13 point followed by 12 from City LOL

Whenever I also change my pick I get regretful later on. I assume that it is always better to choose what comes to mind first for this kind of situations. The reason why I have been locking my predictions for a while is exactly this. Salah started this season very good and carried his team to the win by managing to make 3 assists today as well. I couldn't understand why Darwin Nunez is still starting in the substitutes.

Brighton are proving to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the league at the moment and De Zerbi is doing a great job there.
It's amazing that they can make 6 changes and still perform at the top level against an opponent like Manchester United.

United had a quarter of an hour to be on top of the game, but after that it has been all Brighton. They coped well with the high press and created spaces behind the midfield.

It was unfortunate that Hojlund did not get his first goal yet, but he looks hungry and will likely get it soon.

Still a ghost is chasing the Utd team. I have not watch the match but I can feel that. Trusting Utd never works. Maybe credit due to Brighton.

It's always this ah feeling. Villa and Tottenham match was dramatic. I was almost having a full three point from Villa match where it looked like it will be a draw but then 2 goals, unbelievable. Tottenham saved their ass with those late two goals too.

looking at today matches, United was a biggest surprise
not sure if United is that bad, or Brighton is above any expectations that I had before season, I thought they will end-up below position 10, and they seem as proper CL candidate looking at results so far

Newcastle secured a minimal win over Brentford, to keep up, after being dismissed last round

The only thing that killed my perfect winning run today was this match between Man Utd and Brighton. I had a draw and Brighton surprised all and won the match. Man Utd is really bad this season aswell and i think Ten Hag needs to be sacked as soon as possible.

With such results, he will be fired before the winter. I was amused by his words that “everything was decided by the little things” in the sense that “United was a little unlucky, next time we’ll be lucky.” Damn clown. Playing with Brighton as number 2 at Old Trafford and losing 0-3? In five games, three losses and a terrible game. The only thing that makes me happy is that Ronaldo is no longer in United and it’s no longer possible to blame him in everything, same with Sancho or anyone else. Everyone sees that Ten Hag is a quarrelsome asshole and his qualifications are in big question.

Same here. I celebrated the equalizer almost like a Villa fan an then watched them score two more goals to give me my first wrong prediction of the week.

Ten Hagg needs to understand that you don't force the players to play well, your tactics and work on the training ground will be evident on the pitch eventually. He has not had an answer to many of the other top coaches and needs to changed or risk losing his job.

Sacking ETH will not solve anything it would simply return the team back to where they came from, i don't know whose choice was to sack De Gea for Onana, whomever made such mistake has to be sacked, Onana may be good with his feets but he is really awful at savings. DeGea single-handedly saved that team and won the club POTY awards for three consecutive seasons. At the back, Onana will always be a threat to the defence line because all he does is toss the ball around and concede to whatever shot he receives. ETH, on the other hand, is a tactical manager who is the right guy for the job, but he needs to work on his relationship with his players.

Losing to Brighton is hardly a disgrace because they are perhaps the best attacking club in England.

[darxiaomi]

I was pretty sure about Manchester United lose before the game if they play hit by hit against this Brighton, but for me surprise i have to say Manchester United played very good this time, but was unlucky in reaching the goal and also everytime Brighton reach Man Utd goal was a goal.

Anyone is watching Bouremouth vs Chelsea? Still goalless although it not even half time. Where is flumpnuggets? Do you still think Chelsea is going to finish ahead of Liverpool? Maybe now there is another side bet we can think about which is will Chelsea be relegated? LOL

[un_rank]

Chelsea are playing without any sense of direction and that is surprising for a team managed by Pochetinno. The players were all over the place and seemed to be at the exact same level as their opponents.

The season finally gets its first goaless draw.

You've already won that side bet; this Chelsea team will not finish ahead of this Liverpool team. Spent £1 billion to look like Swamsea. I'm exhausted, man. When will you need your 1mBTC?

Yes, of course! Despite the fresh additions, Chelsea is still trying to find their customary form. This game against Bournemouth appears to be demonstrating that more work needs to be done before we can resume our usual powerful play. Chelsea is a formidable team, though, and with time and practise they can succeed in the current campaign.

[casperBGD]

another defeat 0:1 at Goodison, can't remember when we started this bad, 'Dyche out' all over stadium, but can't say that he is main reason for a bad start, we simply don't have midfield, and fail to score when in chance

congrats to Arsenal, first win at Goodison since Arsen left, all good times come to an end
at least took some points in FPL

[swogerino]

Arsenal nearly surprised us again when they ended 0-0 the first half I thought that maybe they were going to lose their game 1-0 like they did last season where it costed them the complete Premier League in that lost game against Everton together with the draw at home against Southampton.

Chelsea was unlucky today,they should have gotten the win even if they played in a chaotic way,Bournemouth did not show anything and they let Chelsea play completely this game by dominating it,0-0 is not a good result of course for them but they should be happy what with they did today,the results will come sooner or later.

You have that one against me as well
Don't give up just yet, it's still not theoretically lost. It will be in January though.

This Chelsea team is simply horrible, nothing can save Boehly's Frankenstein project.

Good question! 
But I don’t think that anyone will accept such a bet at odds of less than 1 to 100.


Meanwhile, although results are often very difficult to obtain, we see the usual picture in the top 4 after 5 games: City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool. I’m glad that City are not so far away (although they have a 100% result), but I’m very upset that Newcastle, United and Chelsea are too deep and there’s no point in expecting an interesting fight for the top 4 yet.

I think it is a bit to early to call this project a Frankenstein one.There are another 30 weeks of football or a bit more until the Premier League ends and I think Boehly has learned his lesson last season that changing often the coach is not the way to go so I believe he will keep Pochettino until the end of the season no matter what results he gets.

I am confident that Chelsea will improve over the long run and they most likely will get a European spot in the end of the Premier League,maybe an over optimistic prediction but I am sure Chelsea will achieve it  .

Newcastle upsets me the most [Utd does not make me upset because I accepted that they are unpredictable]. I had high hope for Castle considering their games in last season. Having promoted to the CL, I was expecting more from them but from 5 matches their earning is only 6 points. I am not disappointed that they lost against City and Liverpool [In-fact I was convinced that they will win Liverpool though] but against Brighton and Brentford [although they won] they did not look a better team. Champions league needed a better team from England, certainly Castle is going to make it boring.

But I don’t think that anyone will accept such a bet at odds of less than 1 to 100.

We never know LOL
Just look at their performance so far. A draw today against Bournemouth! Lost against Forest, the only team they survived was against Luton and we all can understand it. But the way the team is going, in the Luton home match they will surely lose point.

Maybe a better and competitive market can be if Chelsea will be in top 10 of the point table? "No" at what odd? Make me an offer LOL

I understand your frustration darling. Let's settle it after end of the season with other side bets. But don't lose you hope, it's still long 33 rounds to go.
