This week started with a lot of surprise results and the first half of the last game is also a surprise result.The beaten up Manchester United from much weaker teams compared to Liverpool are now leading 1-0 with the first half that ended just now

Yeah that was kinda surprising even for me. I was expecting Manchester United to hold the first half but definitely not scoring but hey this is even more surprising because the score is now 2-0. Losing twice in a row and now we are winning against Liverpool, holy heck. I dont want to jinx this just yet because there is still over 35 minutes to go but its great atleast for now

If things ends like this,most probably Liverpool has as it clearly shows that they are in a huge crisis,only 2 points from 3 games I believe the fault now to be on Salah,he got the maximum pay on Liverpool history,made Mane go away to Bayern Munchen for this but right now in these 3 first games of the tournament he is clearly not delivering.I believe Liverpool to have put high hopes on him to lead the team but so far these hopes are not coming true.Klopp has to change the team balance to make more players participate in attack for the upcoming games,unfortunately though based on such performance I see it clearly a game over for Liverpool hopes to fight for the title.

Same league, different matches, same VAR, same situation, different calls. Ofcose Chelsea got the wrong call. BTW both goals are onside.





VDJ is being exposed over and over! He's been awful since last season, keep running away from a 1v1 situation to protect his "never dribble pass" reputation.


Liverpool and Klopp realized how important Mane was to this Liverpool team after 15 games, when they are tied for 15th place with Everton.

So, who's had the worse start to the season? United or LFC 

Ofcose Liverpool! Nobody expected anything from the Europa League bond Manchester United.

@18 odds,

close but no cigar


Needed one more yellow card for Liverpool, but these players are too soft-hearted. Bruno Fernandes delaying the game after Salah's goal, and the liverpool players are standing there doing nothing, two foot him you prats!

I expected United to win, so I even tried to guess the exact score and was close (look at the odds):



Anyway +3,8 also good. I can imagine how many bets Liverpool ruined today, by the way, like Juventus. All in all it turned out to be a profitable weekend for me, but mostly thanks to tennis, not football.

here the statistics are very interesting.
Man United had one of the worst season starts in PL, but they are still above Liverpool. who btw is one of the main favourites for the title.
Also, the last 10 years are among the worst years for Man United while Liverpool have the best. Stats says both won one PL title each, Pool had one CL and Man United one EL.
it is not a huge difference between the very bad period for UTD compared to the excellent period for LFC.

No complaints from me by this United win, scored some much needed points in the pool and scored this little bet:

Big Grats! That's freaking huge man! and to be freaking honest, that's some guts you've got! Not especially considering how shitty Man United have been, did you get some clairvoyant's tipoff or perhaps some inside information, because logically, this looks quite beyond some just "giving it a shot thingy" 

It was a completely shitty week for me though, I had just 3 points from 10 games, never have I ever had it this low if I recall correctly.

Cheers!

And not really anything special, just a feeling looking at it all. On paper Liverpool should have won, yeah, but it's sports after all and I wouldn't take too much from those first two games by United (as compared to liverpool). And looking at the shakeup in the united lineup for tonights game it seemed obvious to me that this was it or it was bust and shame for the rest of the year. Liverpool will bounce back, I'm sure.

EDIT; Oh and also, no matter the opponent I'll always take a bet on united if they have over 4.5 in odds, haha.

Manchester United shocked almost everybody last night.I know Liverpool are in their worst form this season,and they will find it very hard to win games as long as Mane is not in their team any more.They seems to forget that Mane was one of the pillers of that team,and his absence is being felt today.
Salah cannot perform actively if there is no Mane because Mane was the one to deep in bring balls to Salah,because he had that energy to run and put fear in the mind of defenders.
They were beaten by Man-u that is at the bottom of the table to show that they declined drastically,but it is fine,they will still pick form.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Terrible start to the season for us but it is what it is. I think we really suffer when Thiago isn’t there, midfield is ass without him. It’s 2022 & Milner is still starting, he’s like 37 years old. Van Dijk & Gomez were pathetic too. Only LFC players to come out of that game with any credit are Elliot & Diaz.

Man City must be laughing, they’ll probably have the title sown up by March. More important things in life but I am really p****d off

It's expected of Man United to find themselves in another hilarious scenario, so I'd say Liverpool.  They were expected to be title contenders before the season started and just a whisker away behind Man City.  Now it looks like they're in a bit of a rut and the Klopp era could also be somewhat taking a rest if they can't get back to top form.  But we'll see..  It's not over yet and City isn't perfect as Eddie Howe just showed.

All in all, this looks to be like a very interesting start of the season we've seen in a while.

And I'm not looking at Super Bru but I'm guessing I'm at 25 - 30 rn.  I haven't made any points in the last 4 matches.  Heh...

You sure got some balls or a lot of money that you can afford to lose without problems because betting near 600 dollars on Manchester United after in their first two games they kept going from bad to worse it means you to have a lot of balls.Congrats on a huge win you have got there near 10 fold your bet which is a great amount over 5000 dollars,a nice one to spend some last days of August fancy holidays,in Dubai,Maldives or Bahamas for example  .

this is most probably my worst round in last few seasons in Superbru, just Arsenal and Tottenham, nothing more, nothing less

with all that, it is really nice to see Arsenal on top, with all wins and best goal difference in the league, what a change to last season - three loses, without goal scored, Wenger is happy again

[buwaytress]

@casperBGD smart move on BTTS in the end, Salah another record but he won't be pleased with the way we lost.

@Hhampuz well bloody deserved.

As Trofo predicted, I lost all my winnings on that one dumb Liverpool game -- 3 games without a win, 3 games that ruin my accas everywhere, don't ever recall seeing VVD so poor. Milner was screaming at him and he was just looking down, probably knew he was bad.

Congratulations on a great bet!


After such unexpected results, confidence about future games simply disappears. Even in the game Liverpool - Bournemouth it will be scary to bet on Liverpool, especially if the odds are meager. Although the Devil whispers in my ear, "it's a sure bet, they can't stumble 4 times in a row."

I'm fully expecting the bournemouth game to be a release for Liverpool, they'll end it like 4-0 or 5-1 at least 

[darxiaomi]

What are my eyes seeing? You are crazy, how you put 600 usd in that game in favour or Manchester, absolutly bold.

Man same here, i was really mad against the referee, i need 5 yellow in the game, and in the last moments of the game the referee clearly can show them , but for some reason he doesnt, destroying my betbuilder. An for worse i think he doesnt show the yellow to Bruno after Liverpool goal, because he know if he show the card Bruno has to go off.

Such wins don't come easy especially if you are backing Manchester united on your betslip, otherwise, congrats to you well played!

Premier League is proving to be unpredictable with these early games, I think for this game am going for Liverpool to score 2 or more goals and not the straight win against Bournemouth
