You are crazy man, this is the start of something beautiful right here for ManU. 14 game streak of no losses incoming

Lol! No fcking way! Let us not pretend they did anything spectacular against Liverpool because they weren't.

I'm pretty sure Fernandes ran more in that game than he did in the last season altogether. Can't just disregard their win completely and chalk it down to liverpool playing bad, the individuals were there when it mattered

Fernandez did some dirty work falling deep to help McTom, but I'm not sure he was any better than his recent form. He lost possession twice, which could have resulted in a goal, and he almost spammed the ball into his own post.   I'm not discrediting the team; they earned the win for adhering to the game plan; however, after one strong performance, I'm not letting it get to my head.

But Southampton only had one good win against Leicester, draw before that and getting crushed before that so why do you show such confidence in them and letting that go to your head?

Lol. No way! Both teams are terrible, as I've already stated, and I am unable to predict the 1x2 winner as both are teams are currently trying to gain confidence; I can only stake a small amount on goal options; I feel United could snap away a later winner in the second half.

Manchester United most scoring half: 2HT @2.24 odds.

I'm going with Southampton if that's worth anything, seems like a typical United thing to do.

Manchester United most scoring half: 2HT @224 odds.

Are these odds true of 224,they would be amazing for any team and even weaker teams,I mean weaker than Manchester United usually score more goals in the second half.That odd is really huge and I doubt any bookmaker has such a large odd for something that could as well happen for any team,maybe the odd is 2.24 or 22.4 but 224 seems way not realistic for most gamblers.I am an ex sport bettor that now bet occasionally on sport betting and to be honest I have never seen such odd for much weaker teams in lower leagues than the Premier League.

I thought you were joking maybe as nowadays it is easy to joke on Manchester United and Liverpool but that 224 odd caught my eye as I was planning to be just 0.001 Bitcoin on it and multiply it by 224 and make like near a quarter of a Bitcoin if Manchester United would have been on a good day  .

Even 2.24 is a good odd for something that if you look percentages online happens 55.1% in all the games,so it is just a bit over 50 as percentage which means it happen more than any other result,being not so common in the first half with like above 30% and just 17% of the times that both halves of the game to be in equal goals scored.

Its a great odds, probably going to take this later on weekend as well


Anyway, I found this type bet on sportsbet.



I mean I can already picture in my head that Manchester United could possibly be smashing this game so why not push this up to the limit though. Manchester United would be attacking and Saints would be defending so high chances of actually getting corners throughout the 90 minutes ( or atleast I hope so lol )

Considering how abysmal Man United were back last season, that's quite surprising that they managed to win those games. However, Southampton have also dipped in quality in the last few years. I might predict Southampton on the pool to win, and then just put a small bet on United. That way hopefully I get a result on one of them. Knowing my luck they'll probably draw if I do that though. I don't tend to like going for draws though, unless it's a 0-0.

Rashford definitely looked better though, and I'm happy for him. Seems like a generally good person, and he has had it rough the past year or so. I felt like the fans were turning against him a little bit.  

[tokeweed]

^  But you gotta give some credit to Man United and Ten Hag by making the right choice of dropping Maguire and Ronaldo.  I do hope next time we see that squad but with Martial at the left instead of Elanga.  But yeah...  I think their win was a fluke.  Liverpool wasn't that bad.  It's just United made most of their possessions while Liverpool did not.  This weekend I'm guessing Southampton could be a problem for them.

Draw no bet for Southampton is 3.05, double chance is at 2.07.  United hasn't won a match in their last 7 away matches.

That's dangerous but not impossible tips I'm not sure they'll let go of the fire in their eyes against poor Soton, but the team appears to want to fight for the badge. I haven't seen that from them in a long time, though Manchester United tends to perform better against the top six teams when they meet. In this game, I can't pick a 1x2 winner.

Manchester United FC Highest Scoring Half; 2nd half @2.24

Nice one.  That line isn't bad at all.  Thanks...  

Yeah, in hindsight I was thinking more about Man United's win was more like a fluke and they have not been winning for the last 7 away matches or so.  Southampton has also been scoring some goals in all their league matches so far.  So yeah, another nice bet could be BTTS and the over 2.5 goals combo.  Haven't checked the line on that ye tho but if anything close to 1.90 and above, that would be a decent bet imho.

[swogerino]

Double chance for Southampton at odd over 2 it is a great odd as I believe since Premier League is full of surprises so maybe we see another upset from Manchester United,they are not consistent at all under the new coach so I don't get it for granted that since they beat Liverpool they will go and beat other teams without problems.I am going to place a bet on double chance on Southampton but on the pool I will believe my guts and go with a Manchester United win,that is the most logical prediction for me.

I thought that after last season there were no people left who believed in free money from United  The first two games of this season, it would seem, should have convinced the latter. United are away, Casemiro's adaptation, the team captain and Ronaldo are on the bench... I think that United's victory, even without a negative handicap, is not guaranteed. Southampton FC or draw with 2.00 odds seems like a safer bet. But I won't bet against United because I support them.

[Welsh]

I think the media are getting a little carried away with the their win against Liverpool. They came up against a Liverpool side that hasn't won a game in the league yet, I know it's only the start, but we've come against what people would expect the lower placed teams, and have struggled.

So, yeah I'm not getting carried away. Liverpool are missing 9 players through injury. Southampton aren't. Therefore their team will be more organised, and used to playing with one another. I wouldn't be surprised if Man United revert back to their previous form after this. Plus, you can't underestimate the new manager effect, and how that effects a derby.

Plus, Liverpool being in some of the worst form we've seen them in the last couple of seasons, yet still nearly scoring two or three goals has to be something to consider.

Speaking of corners... if you really think United can get 9 corners, then you need to make sure you're participating in THIS new Sportsbet.io promo giving away $10 USDT freebets for every corner (up to 10) that United wins in this game: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411281

That's almost guaranteed free money (please Saints, remind Ten Hag how lucky he was heh heh).

@Welsh: yeah I know I might sound like a blinded fanboi too but my son was asking me (he's a United "fan") why Liverpool aren't getting all the scrutiny despite being in 16th place and it was pretty simple. We're in poor form, but not for lack of trying. It's 3 games. Victim of the standards we set for ourselves.

You're right. If you look as cynically as possible and do not take into account the names, it turns out that United won the team that is in 16th place, while they lost to teams from 8th and 5th places. What reason can there be to be sure of an away victory over a team from 11th place (being on the 14th)? It is clear that this is a slightly absurd point of view, but no less absurd than the euphoria after the victory over Liverpool (which could well have been a defeat).

The odds for the Saints are quite big at this point considering they are playing at home at 4.20 is a risk most likely people will take after remembering how bad Manchester United has performed when playing away,they lost 4-0 to Brentford which is not that a brilliant team from the Premier League while Southampton did some pretty good games so far and the odd 1.80 of Manchester when playing away sounds a bit ridiculous when we know how bad Manchester has played in the only away game they had.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm likely to pick the Manchester United win this week. Because their performance against Liverpool was telling that something started to change. We watched a more effective team not only in defense but also in offense. If they are able to keep Liverpool at the level they want then they should be able to do the same against Southampton as well. However they should be in control of this game as much as possible. If they show some weaknesses again this could be the end of a winning streak already.

I expect to see Martinez and Varane in their defense line once more. It was a great duo against Liverpool and I'm glad not to see Maguire there.  As Ronaldo is still speculated to leave before the end of the window Erik ten Hag might prefer him in the subs again. Rashford's performance was very impressive against Liverpool already so there is no meaning in putting him in the subs anyway.

[Welsh]

I've already chosen my predictions, and I've just glanced over them, and they seem fitting enough. I had Man United losing anyway . So, I'm not going to change it due to the result they had against us. I still saw massive problems despite their performance. They'll likely get found out in the next few weeks again, like I said I think the media is taking this a little bit too far, but what can I say British media usually does.

Liverpool will bounce back, it's just a question of when. Southampton at 4.00+ odds is very enticing though, I might have to put a little bit on them to spice up my accumulator a little bit.

I fancy Man United chances at winning tomorrow too, not because they did anything worthwhile against Liverpool, but rather because Southampton haven't extraordinary too and haven't done anything to earn my trust, at least I'll feel better for backing Man United and they lose, rather taking a risk by going for Southampton then Man United win and most people from the pool go in that direction as well.

I'm yet to review my predictions, but it's very likely to be a Man United for me, the worse my pessimistic self would settle for is a draw.

shit, I even included Rashford in my FPL team, cannot believe myself, but did it
what could worst happen, United can disappoint again, not more, not less

but it is interesting to see Ronaldo on the bench again, it is something unexpected, and I am not sure how is he handling that in his head, being benched all the time, and ruining many FPL teams

[ILuckyGuyI]

Chelsea are in a really problematic condition recently. They couldn't start well. I think that the reason is mainly related to their attacking line. Because they have sent Lukaku and Werner in the same transfer window which has decreased their attacking power a lot. Havertz is still the only player who is being relied on there. But we shouldn't forget that he is normally an attacking midfielder. His contribution as a striker wasn't good last season and he hasn't scored any goal in this season yet also.

Considering this fact, I expect a really tough game for them against Leicester. I picked a 2-1 Chelsea win anyway but I don't expect them to get it comfortably as I said. Until signing a striker their season might not be very bright later too.
