Musings, Thoughts, and Plays 24/25

@Cmlee123

 Ooo nice that’s a division I’m not too familiar with. Obviously watch but hard to cap I mean.

Liverpool/PSG - Can’t believe all this talk I’m hearing about PSG coming out and possibly winning, even dominating Pool, at Anfield. Football heritage. We’ve had better teams come to Anfield before and get TRAMPLED. You’re not going to see PSG dominate Pool the way they did in France. In fact, I’d boldly claim that Pool will outshoot PSG by a wide margin. The only time in the last few years I’ve ever seen Pool “dominated” was against Atalanta last season and NO ONE saw that coming. Anytime visitors come to Anfield as possible equals to Pool they get swept away. CL is our competition and PSG’s ugly hx in CL will continue today. Last week, Salah had no shots. Zero. Watch him go crazy today. Taking his shots ladder to quiet all this noise surrounding his poor performance last week. Also think we see a 1H goal.

Plays: Salah 5+ shots (+379), 6+ shots (+923), 1H over 1/0.75 (taking live)

@I3C1H

  Good luck sir. I like the plays. I will be monitoring to pounce the live line along with you.

@Cmlee123

 Ugh not the team I wanted to score but figured they would score at least once during the tie. Never easy in CL.

@I3C1H

 Got that right CL is no joke. The lowest I saw before goal was -148 live, I was waiting until it may have reached -110. Oh well. I'm already looking at tomorrow. 

@I3C1H

Interestingly PSG did in fact eliminate Pool. Their awful tactics was their undoing. They deserved this lose. I have no idea what they were trying to do either match to be frank with you. It is totally out of their normal wheelhouse.

@jesron1269

 I am so sad…don’t know what to say, looked so conservative and that Darwin narrative looks done at this point. He needs a move for both sides sake at this point. Not his fault entirely as this game shouldn’t have gone to penalties but hugely disappointing.

@I3C1H

 Real or Barcelona will win the champions again! Maybe PSG or Bayern can also make the final, but I don’t think any English team left can win it— Arsenal or Aston villa. Both are way too inconsistent to win such a tough competition. 

@I3C1H

 Darwin is a piece of crap! That guy isn’t good enough for Liverpool or any top team. He’s horrible. I’ve never liked him. He misses so many chances. Just crap. 

@I3C1H

Man, shake it off. I understand, especially after my weekend. Hard sometimes to forget the day, but there is always tomorrow. Keep yer head up brother, you are fine.

@Lewis1218

 I agree with your prediction, no chance Arsenal or Aston go all the way, too many glaring holes for both. Really disappointed with how Pool played, that first strike by PSG took the air out of them and was really surprised they couldn’t ride the Anfield crowd. I know it’s crazy but I still back Darwin as polarizing (and probably negative) a figure he is. Must be all mental cuz with Benfica and with Uruguay he was and is able to score consistently. I would hold onto him but completely reasonable for Pool to move on as they don’t have the time to wait for him to come around.

@Cmlee123

 Yea I was more disappointed with Pool being knocked out. I’ve come to really love that team and it’s probably the team I most go through all the emotions with lol. Salah got shutdown over 2 legs which was disappointing but that midfield for PSG is arguably the best in all of Europe. If they can avoid injuries, I think that midfield and attack can take em all the way. Ironic lol.

@I3C1H

 Agreed, and also PSG is one of the best 1v1 teams too. They are pretty seamless. So, generally teams have been F'ing around and finding out. Unfortunate for Pool fans.

Anything in Europa or Conference league today?

@tt_boy

sorry! things got a bit busy for me so didn’t have time time for writeups

Nantes/Lille - Going to be targeting and fading teams coming off CL game. Nantes hasn’t scored in 2 straight including at home last game.

Plays: Nantes TT over 0.5 (+172), total over 1 (-118)

Not how I imagined it going down but will take it  really interesting to see how dogs have been performing so well the last couple weeks against CL clubs, was waiting in Villareal/Madrid line to be a bit better but o well

@I3C1H

 excellent call. I also took o.5, 30 sec later a red and I took it again. +110, and +100.

@Cmlee123

 o nice!! Were those odds for total or team total?? I presume team total odds for Nantes must've been 8-1 to higher

@I3C1H

 just total, Nantes was mega like +250.

@Cmlee123

  Solid win!

Porto/AVS - I know Porto is at home but the total line is telling: Porto has been an under galore recently with issues finding the back of the net, so for the total to be at 2.75 is strange. Going to back the home team to get on the board in the 1H. Don’t feel comfortable drinking the juice so looking for an opportunity to grab the 1H over 1.

Plays: 1H over 1 (-126)

@I3C1H

 Get em brother

Can't believe how awful my luck has been recently. Multiple pushes on over 1's and had a write-up for the over 1 in the Atalanta/Inter game when play got suspended due to a medical issue in the stands (yet again in Italy, don't know why it seems to happen more frequently over there) and before odds unlock, Inter promptly scores off the corner smh. Super annoying. Anyways.

Portland Timbers/LA Galaxy - Galaxy finally seem to have found some offensive rhythm last game, scoring 4, albeit against Costa Rican opposition, after finding the net once since the season officially started. Portland's also gotten off to a slow start but last season were tied for fourth in goals scored while also featuring a leaky defense. Hoping for some correction here for both teams (and some luck).

Plays: 1H over 1 (-125)
