Pep has lost his aura, his "permission" is of no use to anyone  By the way, at this pace (3 points in 4 games) it is far from certain that City will remain in the top three. All the teams that are behind remain in a normal psychological position, but City now finds itself in a position where it seems like there is nothing to fight for - the title is lost, second place is in the bag. It is quite possible that this will lead to further loss of points.

Stranger things have happened, and City are actually bolstered by quite good talents. So it's still a surprising loss. Arsenal, meanwhile, are taking the safe approach, I hope they don't discover this safety is only illusory. When you don't play to win, bad things happen to you.

I am aware of the irony that Liverpool played to beat all three relegation spot occupiers and failed to beat any of them...

I dont know what is happening,honestly really wierd stuff happened. Man Utd destroyed in every aspect Man City and its like the roles were switched. Man City couldnt even create a chance and it could have ended a lot worst if there wasnt var to cancel a couple of Man Utd goals.

Arsenal continues to play boring football and now they couldnt score and it ended 0-0 and still Arsenal extended the gap due to Man City losing. So really a wierd round so far.

It is looking like another goal less draw heading into the first matchup for today with Newcastle United against Wolverhampton.
Too many draws from matches yesterday with the top 7 teams already and now another one.
These are horrid to bet with any of these matches from the Premier League this matchweek.
Also don't think I made any points worth a mention in the pool from them including this one either.

Surely Liverpool can beat Burnley at Anfield on Saturday,

We are still not happy in the last 4 matches.

Damn it, this must be one of my worst results in Premier League pool this season.
All wrong answers and sea of red is all I can see in my Superbru Premier League today  

Until now I was still given 1.5 points from the Sunderland match... the last few weeks of Premier League matches are still unpredictable, meaning we have to go against the direction of the favorite team.

Yeah, one bright game followed by some sluggish ball movement against an underdog—we've seen that pattern many times before. Even with Amorim, if United hadn't dropped points in just a few games against clear underdogs, they'd be in 3rd or 4th place. LOL. I hope that this time everything will be different. It's a shame Arsenal didn't cement their huge lead yesterday, but even with the favourites' draw, their pursuers are even worse. Looking forward to the next round and the Arsenal vs United game, it will be interesting if United can prove themselves here too.

Has something changed with Carrick? I hope he brings some color to the team after a confident win over Manchester City that left the team in the dust.

The other top 4 teams compactly did not get a full point.

As for Arsenal vs Man United... looking forward to seeing how Carrick can continue his winning ways.

Arteta Arsenal has been playing like that for sometime now, he put more emphasis on "don't lose" -  I told one of my colleagues who is an Arsenal fan that the best way to win the league is to aim to beat every one and not settling for less.

If they drop more points this weekend, City would be back into it.

Glasner has been ranting at Crystal Palace's owners for selling Eze and Guehi in the same season and leaving the club dry; honestly, if I were in his place, I would do the same. It makes no sense to sell all of the squad's best players and expect positive outcomes. The next one to get sacked.

Anything can really happen. Imagine being in top 10, then suddenly ending up scoreless this matchday. Like 0/10 man! At this point, predicting all 0-0 would have been better since that should gives me 7 points. lol
I think everyone is struggling to score 10+ this matchday and it looks like I’m not only one who might end up with zero points. haha. I guess this matchday will have lowest total score among all participants in pool.

Hahah, what a round. I've got 1,5 Superbru points - and the most in the pool is 7.

Literally not a single game went the way I expected it to, one of the weirdest PL rounds in recent memory.
To be honest, the whole season is kinda weird to me - not a single team giving me the 'champions' vibes.

What to say about Liverpool? 4 points lost at home against promoted teams in January, 4 draws in a row. Terrible.

I considered it multiple times since last month, but after looking at the fixtures for weeks, I talked myself out of it because those games didn't appear like 0-0, 1-1, or "draw" to me, and as someone who dislikes predicting draws, it's more difficult.

 Who would have predicted that Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester City would finish the weekend without scoring a single goal? Nobody.

I got 5 points from last GW, already 4.5 this week with a game left

Xabi Alonso is right there waiting for a phone call and ya are about to lose a champions league position for trusting that bald fraud too much. Sharing points at like against Burnley at home after scoring first is a sackable offence.
