outplayed by Liverpool at home. outclassed by City at home. Last time United won a league game at old trafford was 2 months ago. Ole's still at the wheel. Unreal

Nice tweet, cracked me up. Not looking at the stats I remember 2 great attempts at their own goal and not a single one against City goal. I watched most of the game, maybe about 70 minutes all combined. Had to cook lunch in half time and it spilled a little in second half

Had a bet on City today, I was sure they will score at least one goal more no matter how many united manages to score. There is just so much space in United defense that it is impossible for good team to not capitalize on that. Too bad I placed that bet as a part of double ticket and other game was Brentford. Was sure about them as well.

Im still shocked how United is playing really bad.City dominated the entire match and could have score 4+ goals in this match easily like Liverpool did. Ole needs to be sacked instantly after another loss,he just lost focus and dosent know what do anymore.

Yeah it would have been if it wasnt for De Gea's saves. Im not sure why wasnt Cavani included in the lineup and pairing Ronaldo with youngster like Greenwood was a dumb idea and its always have been a dumb idea so far. IMO, Van de Beek was quite promising though, Ole or whoever in charge after this should start to put him in the starting lineup from now

Also this week is the worst week for me since the start of the tournament,results are awful.

Did you mean us? lol I also currently has 0 points right now

also have 0 points

but, it is not all about results, City won derby in Manchester, cannot say that it was not expected, it was just unexpected for me
Norwich win is totally unexpected, but they had to win sometimes, so this week was theirs

but, also Southampton should win last night

hopefully, will be better tomorrow

De Gea was having a pretty good game up until that blunder for the second goal. Props to Silva for manging to get it in from that angle but De Gea should have had it covered.

Most people won't get many points from this round. Norwich bagging their first win and Chelsea drawing with Burnley were all unexpected. Tomorrow has some tough games to call as well I think. All of them could be close and upsets in any of them wouldn't surprise me. West Ham could be tricky for Liverpool. Leicester should win against Leeds but I think Leeds are due a turnaround. I don't trust Arsenal to get the win either though I think they should. Everton/Spurs could go any way. Depends what Spurs team turns up.

Woah, I didn't bother to check the app all day because I know I have only 1.5 Points, just to say you both talk about zero points so far, crazy day I'm not gonna lie, the bookies must be having a great weekend.

Other than Arsenal, I don't think tomorrow's fixture are easy to get grab points from either, maybe I'll just have to rethink a few of my decisions.

you are not alone guys...
a total failure in my picks yesterday - of the 5 games yesterday i could only get 1.5 points in the game man united vs. man city. in all other games i went completely empty...

After city match when I saw 3 points from first two match I thought great! I am going to have a good round. But then four match in a row, no points. I am still struggling LOL

Chelsea was too unfortunate yesterday. They were everywhere in the ground but could not score more than one. I think at some point I heard they got over 12 corners but could not capitalize from this many corners. I had a 3 - 1 win for Chelsea and if Chelsea could capitalize 10% of the chances they had I think it could be a half a dozen vs one single goal at the end.

Anyway, it's good when Chelsea, Utd, City lose points. I enjoy it 🤣

Looking forward to West Ham vs Liverpool. How many goals Liverpool should score?

[swogerino]

I think Liverpool is going to get back to second place today with just one point difference to Chelsea as they are going to win at least with 2 goals advantage,my prediction is 1-3 for them during this game.Hopefully the games of today do not make as much surprises as the ones of yesterdays did,to me the win of Norwich was the biggest one followed by the Chelsea equalizer.

One more than West Ham? Just kidding a bit but I expect the game to be played for a goal more and entertain us properly. My bet has gone on my favorite both to score market for this one.

Watching Arsenal in this early time slot and they should have already been a couple of goals up. This way with just 1:0 there is always a possibility that they get punished for those misses.

[NotATether]

....Two. And that own goal costed us the game.

Got some really bad draws at Everton vs Spurs and also Leeds vs Leicester, and here I was thinking the draws were done for the week.

It seems that even with Conte as manager the current squad can't break through defenses any more than they previously could.

Well atleast you guys have alot more points than me in the end lol  . I think I finally unlocked a new achievement in Superbru, yeah it is my first wooden spoon lol. I didnt get one last season and this is my worst record so far. It could have been worse if it wasnt for Arsenal, I was actually thinking of making it a draw for Arsenal but decided to change it



Both Welsh and Alexr didnt put in any prediction so I got the wooden spoon although both of them have 0 point

actually, I was not bad in the end, had exact score on Leeds United, so could not complain
when I look how it started, it ended beautifully with all matches yesterday guessed, except for Liverpool

these are the rounds that are suiting City, Chelsea and Liverpool down, they won city derby, and everything looks brighter for them, West Ham still on 3rd position

This is really annoying. You have a chance to rank up in the point table then you ruin it. Liverpool are not using their chances. I did not watch the match after the 3rd goal from West Ham. There were no point watching it.

PL is unpredictable but did anyone notice this season is too much so far? West Ham is doing exceptionally well. Chelsea as expected. The run is not going well for Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham. I have a feeling that City will eventually lead the point table. They always do. In the middle of the season they go real steady where everyone goes with ups and downs.

[buwaytress]

Superbru seems to be down for me, as Leaderboard is only showing me points from this round (8.5), and I see the yellow capper has about 15 so well done for this round, think the draws were tough to figure out as usual, as was the Chelsea draw and Liverpool loss... anyone backing West Ham has my respect.

That was probably one of my earliest, if not first, badges on Superbru! How do you ever manage to avoid a wooden spoon after all the past seasons? Something to admire heh. If I remember, I got plenty in seasons past.

this has been a tough weekend for all the favourites. Only Arsenal and Manchester City managed to win. All other, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham (ok, for these last two I am sarcastic they are no favourites rather it will be a surprise if they achieve a good result)
they completely devastated my predictions, complete disappointment, I will most likely give up any further fighting on this pool.

It was definitely a crazy round with some very unexpected results so I wouldn't feel bad for not doing so good. I'm not sure how I managed 9 points to be honest but I got the exact scores on two of the more predictable games so that's six alone right there.

It's working for me. The yellow cap was MoSala with 14.5. Pretty impressive.

No games until the 20th now. Must be an international break.

[buwaytress]

Don't. This is round 11. 27 more rounds to go, that's almost 3 times as many as we've had to change your fortunes. And $50 for the yellow cap is good enough a weekly incentive, but you just never know how things can turn around. As they usually do in these pools over the marathon season.

Mo and mole both climbed 10 whole spots this week!

14.5 in a regular round is good yeah, and in a tough round, even more impressive. Same as you, 6 points from 2 exact scores saved my scrawny ass, from fairly predictable games. Murdered everywhere else but taking solace that most of us ended up in the same abattoir... now the dreaded international break (for me, anyway).

This is almost exactly what I was going to say after reading several posts above. As someone on the 44th position currently, I can tell you that I'm not losing my hope, and it's not because I'm some crazy optimist who's not losing his hope when he actually should.

Here's what I think. If Sojourner has managed to collect 113 points with 11 rounds, then anyone, regardless of the current place, can potentially score around 300 more points within the 27 rounds that left. Which means that the Leaderboard can change drastically by the end of May 2022.

So, everyone of us can still win. (That is not to say that Sojourner doesn't have at least slightly higher chances than anyone here.  Good luck, mate! )

yeah, it is close, especially from 2nd position, differences are so close that it could change in each round
buwaytress has some advantage at the moment, but it is manageable to reach him as well

ten points per round on average should be enough for complete win in the end, it is very good average - and gives around 380 points in the end - so we are early, and everything can change (113 points in 11 rounds is just above needed (IMO) 10 points/round for a total win)

Just read interesting piece of news in local sports portal. We all know it is international break and that is sort of time to fix whatever you can fix if you are manager of the club with below par results. What Solskjaer decided to do? Give guys one week holiday and leave home to Norway

I know he is missing a lot of his most important players but still I feel like that time could have been better used and more importantly it seems even some players who got time off are resenting that decision. It does not make much sense considering that players who need rest are on international duty anyway and those that are left could arguably use more training and match time.
