Salud!

Nice! 
I'm surprised that I made it into the top ten, although I like not only to discuss the teams' odds and bets but also to discuss the teams i love and the ones i hate (City) 
Overall, I'm not surprised that this is the most popular thread, as the EPL is probably the most controversial league in Europe, with a lot of good and bad.

Never knew we could have something like this out of the gambling board. The gambling board has been a part of the forum that has been downgraded, given that it’s always referred to be a space full of repetition and post recycling but, this shades a new light for the board. With some really good guys that have kept the space alive and made it have meaning. It’s encouraging and most of all, the tabs kept on participants, that isn’t very easy to look up.

Pep and Arteta is onto it again. Wins after wins but, this time, I hope Arteta doesn’t lay back on his plans for the team.

[Docnaster]

Manchester City won the game and it was something we could easily predict to see that Manchester City beat a team like Ipswich Town which is not a strong team to stand against Pep Guardiola and his players. I think it was not a hard game to say whether Manchester City had a good performance in the match or not but still Manchester City won the game with a 3-1 result and their superstar player, Haaland scored three goals for them Haaland always has a good performance in these easy matches but when they are about to play against stronger teams he can't show any good performance.

The result we saw in the game between Manchester City vs Ipswich Town I don't think came as a surprise to anyone considering the quality of the teams involved. A lot of people had initially predicted that City will win the game with a landslide victory. Erling Haaland was the star man of the game after scoring a hat trick which I think is normal for a striker of his prolificity standard. He's always recording so many goals against smaller teams but always fails to rise to the big party whenever his team is facing a big club and needs his numerous goals. The good thing for Haaland is that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola very okay with his contributions wether against smaller clubs or big clubs.

Manchester United lose in away game against Brighton. Their performance is not good or bad, they looked ok in the first half. But the second half looked like Man United back to the last season's form. Also, their attackers were so awful in this game, they're slow and lazy.

And the decision making by Garnacho to pass the ball to the Zirkzee is the worst. United would be stealing one point, if Garnacho was shooting it directly to the goal net instead of did a stupid mistake like that.

Just when I was thinking Manchester United is going to be better after winning their first game for the season, they lost the next and it's to an average team tho like them, for me it's really disappointing and I had hoped and expected better from Manchester United.

It's yet another season for Manchester United fans to not be proud again, it's very terrible and experience that Manchester United fans have to go through because they have got a coach who is yet to fully perfect his skills in and around this business.

It is not really surprised if Man United got a lose against Brighton. Brighton is a team that often made a surprise when they play against big teams. I think Man United clearly performed badly in this match. We don't conclude it based on their performance in the first half only, we determine the performance in the whole match (first and second half).

Dude, you can't only blame the players. You must analyze the tactics and formation applied by Ten Hag. In my opinion, Ten Hag should take the responsibility of this lose. There is no change in their formation and tactics, he keeps using the same way in their first match. They could win against Fulham because it was weak team, but it is wrong to use the same way when they play against a stronger team like Brighton. It is really annoying that Ten Hag puts Garnacho in the bench and use Bruno Fernandes as a striker. I mean Ten Hag has Joshua Zirkzee, this player also performed well in the previous match. Why Ten Hag doesn't put him as a starter and try to give more time to play? For the next match, I hope Ten Hag can choose better players for the staring players in the lineup.


Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee, and De Light deserve to be starters and put on the main lineup.

[EFS]

Another clean sheet for Raya. Arsenal did the right thing by entrusting him in goal. But some mistakes in defense are annoying. As good as Saliba is, Arsenal may not always be so lucky. Most strikers would have scored the goals Watkins missed. Trossard and Partey are performing well. Arsenal got an important away win. Last season Aston Villa defeat cost them the title, now they got the three. I hope it continues like this.

SMH! First of all, I want to condemn Erik Ten Hag's first eleven for that game yesterday. He should stop placing Bruno Fernandez as a number 9 honestly, it's either Joshua Zirkzee or Marcus Rashford. Having no Bruno Fernandez in midfied reduced the creativity of Manchester United and they couldn't keep possession of the ball.

Erik Ten Hag should start benching Marcus Rashford honestly, I hate to see that favoritism & biased squad selections. Mason Mount is another hardworking player that should be having more time. That game was just match day 2 and that lose felt like Manchester United just lost the Champions League finals.

Harry Maguire was fault to that first goal scored but these pundits are baised, defending him as always. I'm disappointed ASF. Highest paid defender for Manchester United and he can't bloody defend a bloody ball. What a sluggish wood!

[Jessie2121]

What is the best explanation for this United loss yesterday with a poor performance no striker and removing your chances of getting a goal, Bruno Fernandes was the only player who can give United a chance to score and Erik ten Heg wasn't seeing it because he wanted to make a sub that would produce goals at the last minute, meanwhile he was reducing his chances of getting a goal. Good thing the Brighton coach was wise enough to bring in players that can hustle up the ball and make a last minute striker. The game wasn't interesting starting from the first half but when it became fun was towards the closing part of the game. This shows that Erik ten Heg doesn't have what it takes to pull Man UTD out of pressure, no tactics or whatsoever and he can't be the man for the Red Devils.

Ipswich Town shocked everyone with their early goal, maybe even they didn't think they could take the lead against City, even if they scored, how would they protect the score, there are unique players like Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in the opposing team. Even though they saw Manchester City score early, they were not shaken by this goal.

Haaland both attention with the goals he scored in two matches, let's see how many goals he will score in the EPL this season. Manchester City punished Ipswich Town's mistakes, City players were able to score goals easily.

Yes, Ipswich Town really surprised us all and of course this was due to the mistake of Manchester City's back line who were not careful and alert and the goalkeeper also made a mistake because he was not strong enough to grip the ball, but of course it was unexpected at that time that Manchester City's defense could be breached by Ipswich Town . But fortunately, Manchester City was able to correct its mistakes at that time and prove that Manchester City is a strong club and making a few mistakes is normal as long as it can turn the situation around into a victory.

Even though Ipswich Town was the first to score a goal in that match, it was certainly not an easy thing for Ipswich Town to win that match. because of course the Manchester City squad is really very strong and of course in that match De Bruyne and Haaland were good players and of course in that match at the same time De Bruyne and Haaland became heroes for Manchester City because they scored goals and also the highlight was Haaland he was very good in that match because he scored 3 goals (Hattrick). And indeed, in the previous match, Haaland was really good and scored a goal. Yes, we'll see whether Haaland will be top scorer again this season or not, but I predict that Haaland has great potential to become top scorer again.

Of course, now Manchester City has won against Ipswich Town with a score of 4-1 and of course this is extraordinary and of course Pep's troops will be more enthusiastic to continue winning.

Ipswich scored the opening goal in the 7th minute but it was not long after 5 minutes Manchester City could reply to the goal scored by Haaland with a penalty kick after that 2 minutes difference Kevin De Bruyne scored the second goal in the 16th minute after that 2 minutes difference Erling Halaand scored the 3rd goal they seemed to enjoy scoring goals against their opponents Erling Haaland himself was able to score a Hattrick in this match no wonder if Haaland finally became the top scorer in the EPL this season.

Meanwhile Tottenham also won a big win against Everton with the same score as Man City but they did not concede at all.
Unfortunately I lost the bet due to the Aston Villa vs Arsenal match, it was quite difficult to determine the victory in their match and I chose BTTS but unfortunately Aston Villa could not score a goal.

[Majestic-milf]

I know Manchester United can not win this game because early stages of the season Brighton is alway ever ready to play well this something they do every season and with the kind of conditions that Manchester United is they would not have been able to win Brighton at this moment. It's not as if both teams are good but at least Brighton still won first half Brighton already scored their first goal, I remembered last season when people were thinking maybe Brighton will be able to win the premier league because of their initial performance when the season started, look at after Brighton scored their first goal it took Manchester another 30 minutes to be able to equalize, for any club to have that dely shows that they will find it hard to win their opponents easy and Manchester United starting this way will make things more difficult and hard for them this season. Brighton have a way of doing their thing and football sometimes is not about the club, even if Manchester United did not win they would have been able to draw the game.

All I can say is Brighton were able to win by sheer luck cause I didn't see anything special in their performance. God knows they threw away a lot of chances that should have sought them more than the two goals they got, and of course they carted home yet another three points when the game should have ended in a draw.
 Let's see how their next game which is against Arsenal at the Emirates will end up because the Gunners are yet another club who have been successful in taking back six points and we've known how the Seagulls have not found it easy at the hands of Arsenal so I wonder what magic Coach Fabian Hurzëler will weave this time around.

[rendravolt]

Damn, what are you doing? look at how loose the defense is in crucial minutes and I can't say anything more about Manchester United in this match. They are like putting on a circus and the home fans are very happy to see their actions.

There were 5 players who focused their attention to stop Simon Adingra and they forgot at least 3 players who were out of his sight. But who would have thought that instead of taking a direct shot he chose to cross towards Joan Pedro and was immediately greeted with his header.

Well, a dramatic victory was obtained by Brighton and they deserved it. I also won't blame Onana this time considering the Red Devils' defense was so sloppy.

Haaland both attention with the goals he scored in two matches, let's see how many goals he will score in the EPL this season. Manchester City punished Ipswich Town's mistakes, City players were able to score goals easily.

Erning Haaland's hat-trick in this match is the biggest highlight, as he scores his goal in almost every match. But Manchester City have had the biggest wins earlier this season, although they have been quite aggressive and squad-wise the strongest. Manchester City controlled 75 percent of the ball throughout the match and Ipswich had the remaining 25 percent. Most forward in attack and always put the opposing team under pressure.

All I can say is Brighton were able to win by sheer luck cause I didn't see anything special in their performance. God knows they threw away a lot of chances that should have sought them more than the two goals they got, and of course they carted home yet another three points when the game should have ended in a draw.

Yes Brighton team scored two goals it's really mysterious, although Manchester United team players were more aggressive than Brighton team. But only because of good luck, Brighton team managed to go, Manchester United players from all sides created pressure. Although the game ended up being a draw, it was really lucky to get success in extra minutes. And three points taken away earlier this season, but I never imagined Manchester United would perform so unconsciously. It is usually a last minute goal due to the inattention of the defenders and the goalkeeper.

Yes, the surprise happened right from the 7th minute when Ipswich Town was the team that opened the score first. In a quick counter-attack, Sammie Szmodics received a great pass from his teammate and fired an accurate shot past goalkeeper Ederson, giving Ipswich a 1-0 lead. But Ipswich only lasted 4 minutes. Man City immediately pressed forward to suffocate their opponents. As usual, Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne are the main characters. Goal machine Erling Haaland exploded with three goals to help Man City come from behind to beat Ipswich Town. Man City showed superior strength when they easily defeated newcomer Ipswich Town with a big score. Man City still proves they are the number 1 candidate for the Premier League throne. With the health of Haaland and De Bruyne and the return of Gundogan, Man City continue to aim for the goal of winning the championship five times in a row.

With 3 goals against Ipswich Town, Haaland has had his 10th hat-trick in the Premier League. Can Haaland match Ronaldo and Messi's scoring records?

Can't say anything else after seeing Man United slightly disappointing performance. At the beginning of the season I still had positive thoughts about Man United but in fact Man United defense still needs to be improved a little. It's not entirely the fault of the defenders but the performance of the Man United defenders was less focused so that it allowed 3 Brighton players to have empty spaces that were very easy to score.
In fact, Man United attack line had a pretty good performance to be able to get a draw but unfortunately this defeat disappointed the bettors and fans. Maguire is one of the defenders who should be reliable but I see him as lacking enthusiasm.

[Catenaccio]

Manchester United faced with more conceded goals and two ones are lucky for them. Their performance is made up of attacking, midfield and defense but their defensive performance in the match is bad. Their attacking system looks to be good but it is not enough to cover weakness in defense. Brighton can exploit Manchester United's defense very easily and if they are more luckily, more than two goals can be scored by Brighton.

A late winning goal from Brighton makes this match emotional for both with regret from Manchester United side but Brighton deserve this win. They shown their strength against a big team again.

[Helena Yu]

I don't understand why people are surprised to see Manchester United lose, when I already know Brighton has higher chance to win before the match started. I'd say Brighton has 70% chance to win while Manchester United is only 30%.

Ten Hag should able to draw a conclusion from the results of two matches, which are:
1. Bring back Bruno to it's main position.
2. Zirkzee to play as a starter.
3. Replace Rashford with Garnacho.
4. Sell Antony and Mount.

[m2017]

I don't understand why people are surprised to see Manchester United lose, when I already know Brighton has higher chance to win before the match started. I'd say Brighton has 70% chance to win while Manchester United is only 30%.

I wouldn't say that right away, because bookmakers offered different odds than your 70%/30%.

Brighton & Hove Albion           Manchester United
             2.83                                    1.32

Judging by their predictions, the advantage was still given to Manchester United and it was not obvious that Brighton & Hove Albion would win.

Those who bet on Brighton & Hove Albion "played against the market" and made money.

From last season too where Erik Ten Hag had no tactics at all to rely on into the match so that Manchester United always lost more often even with a fairly narrow score. Actually there are some pretty good players in the Manchester United team, but all of them cannot be maximized well by Erik Ten Hag and I hope that doesn't happen again this season. But in yesterday's match, the team still reflected the old way of playing, so there were several opportunities that the Manchester United players could not take advantage of.

Can Bournemouth stop Newcastle? Because Eddie Howe's squad is still quite dangerous and the previous victory against Southampton will be a capital of more confidence to be able to continue to consistently get points. The attack line will still be led by Antony Gordon and Aleksandar Isak, this will make it difficult for Bournemouth where one is very fast and agile, while the other is quite tall with a finishing that is still dangerous.

However, there is a slight problem with Newcastle's defense line which makes them weak where Fabian Schar got a red card in the previous match and of course Eddie Howe will be quite confused to play his substitute players. But I am sure as long as Newcastle does not produce carelessness and can be productive in this match, Bournemouth is not a serious threat.
