Ten Hag is a lifesaver coach for Manchester United and when they had a bad situation in the premier league he joined the team in the middle of the season, Manchester United improved a lot during that time they even lost Ronaldo. I think Ten Hag was just a little bit unliky during this season because he couldn't hire many players like other teams have done and he even lost some players lone Mason Mount just after they hired these players Surely Ten Hag was counting on them. I think time will solve the problem and Ten Hag will have a better performance in Macnshter United after a few weeks but hiring Ten Hag is not a wise move at all.

That's bound to happen but on the other hand there are also some clubs that are focussing on one competition only as I said in the previous post which makes it depend on their strategy whether to try their best in the Champions League because apart from the prestige, the benefits of being here are still quite large in terms of player value (if they play well) and bonuses received.
As for when returning to the initial context where I was discussing Atletico then I think they will try to focus more on the Champions League first for now, we know that no matter how bad they are in La Liga in the end their performance always returns and always subscribes to the top 4 so they will now focus on the Champions League at least to qualify for the next phase especially seeing the group they currently occupy is quite supportive to be able to qualify in the group phase.

Group A is really challenging for especially Copenhagen and Galatasaray. We haven't seen any match in the group stage yet maybe but I'm theoretically speaking now. Bayern Munich have a big potential to win all of the matches. Manchester United are a little unbalanced these days. Actually a little wouldn't be the right definition because they didn't have a good start to the season in the EPL. Lastly they lost to Arsenal by the goals they conceded in the stoppage time.

Something is going wrong with them and I wonder if they can solve an important part of their problems until the group matches start. If they don't then this group might turn out to be really interesting. 

Good Gawd!

Firing Erik Ten Hag? That would not be considered  wise .... You have a very fine manager who understands the game and make the perfect substitution when it comes to the game. In the last four to six years amongst the managers who managed Manchester United, ( Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunner Solskjaer ) Erik Ten Hag remains the best even if he has issues already at the start of this season with his newest players difficulty to adapt to the squad.

Luke Shaw Injured, Raphael Varane, Malacia Tyrell and minor disturbance noticed with Lisandro Martinez. They should bounce back better. I don't criticize or complain about Erik Ten Hag , the glazers are the biggest draw backs and limitations of the club.

Whoever blames Andrea Onana is stupid, a total cow and a cow dung in between those awful butt cheeks!
Onana has done nothing wrong at Manchester United, all you need do is remove hate from your mind and watch the qualities, confidence from his aura into the game and passes completed on the pitch, a bad defense has got to be the cause for all these goals not Onana.

The group stage? Not at all, Manchester United should have a positive result against Brighton and that changes everything immediately.

There is no other choice for United management but to fire him if Ten Hag cannot consistently earn points, it is certain that his contract will be terminated early. The expected impact of the arrival of new players has not been realized. The quality of his tactics began to be doubted after the defeat to Arsenal. The defense line has been the red devils weak point so far, in four matches Onana has conceded 7 goals. The only understandable reason is that Ten Hag has not been able to field new recruits in the full XI due to Mount absence.

The Champions League group stage will be more difficult for the Red Devils, with the situation not being completely consistent. Galatasaray could be a tight competitor for the runner up position in Group A, because Bayern Munich has the chance to win the group.

It seems like @Docnaster doesn't really understand how Uefa conducts the draw so he accused it of unfairness. Uefa has really done its job in accordance with the regulations and absolutely no club has been harmed, in fact they have made a coefficient value for the participating clubs so they can participate in the UCL. Apart from that, uefa and the club have also thought about other things including income for the club so that by making such a regulation it will make the rating and marketing value of UCL bigger and the clubs participating in UCL will also get an injection of money from it. So I don't think anyone will be disadvantaged in the draft in the Champions League.

So how do you come to a conclusion like that when you don't watch or don't see their statistics?
It's weird and really stuff like that you shouldn't repeat in lots of posts because in the end your posts are likely to be seen as spam. This means you have to watch the game or just look up the latest statistics so that whatever you say about a team is a fact, not just a wild opinion.

So far Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their last 3 matches in the league. They won all the matches scoring 9 goals and conceding only 2 goals. This season they looked better because Kane could help them in attack, but last season Bayern Munich really wasn't what was expected especially after Julian Nagelsmann was sacked.

for me they are the favorites to win the group, whether they play defense or counter-attack it makes little difference, Lazio, Feyenoord and Celtic don't see them strong enough to compete for first place! it will certainly be a very balanced group, especially to compete for the second place available for the round of 16. but we would have better certainties at the end of the first round

If you say one of the most unfair it is as though you meant they rigged the draw but this is certainly how it is in every year’s edition except some years where the draws get funny. The setting of having to two favourite to qualify from the group is mostly caused by the way they are seeded in pots. The league champions are usually seeded in pot 1 and the league runner ups are then paired in pot 2 and also teams that are from countries like England who finish Third but have won the champions league before are also in pot 2. This was the reason for Manchester United been in pot 2. Then Clubs that won the league from lower ranking leagues are in pot 3 with the ones that finish third in top leagues. The pot 4 is for clubs that are finish fourth and some that went through playoffs. So from this you can see that the pot consists of top clubs in descending order like the pots and Since no two teams from same league and pot can be in the same group the pot 1 and 2 teams and some from 3 are favourites.

One of the advantages of these is to have lower clubs from lower leagues experience top football and also been seen on the limelight. The lower league players most at times love this challenges because it is where most new and young players are birth from. The likes of Mbappe and Halaand are clearly examples of these. Also as for the clubs they tend to sale more tickets when top teams comes visiting. This would be regarded as a marketing strategy by UEFA to gain more revenue and also eliminate the weaker teams and make the competition more competitive as it progresses.

It seems that Bayern Munich have solved their attack problem with the signing of Harry Kane. Harry Kane is a solid attacking player, especially in the UEFA Champions League. He will be full of confidence and passion for Bayern Munich because he came here to win trophies. Already, he has shown his full confidence since his first match. He scored three goals in four appearances and provided an assist. Bayern Munich's first UCL match against Manchester United will be very exciting because Harry Kane already understands Manchester United and would be a key player against Manchester United. Bayern Munich is looking more promising in the UEFA Champions League than in previous seasons. They have made some good changes in their tactics, which we are seeing in league matches. Which they are dominating.

It's not really about the valuation of a club, if a club plays better that day then they win. Remember just a few years ago Real Madrid (who ended up winning the title) lost to Sherrif, which worths like 10 million or something. THAT is how a smaller club could beat a bigger club, if that happens then that happens but the likely possibility is that it won't happen.

As long as United keeps having these type of law related issues, and team chemistry issues and all these troubles, then we are going to see them not play the way they should, which could cause either Galatasaray or Copenhagen to beat them. Those two teams have a chance to fight for the second spot if they can beat United when they are having a trouble.

Barcelona has indeed experienced a bitter season and even now I actually still doubt the performance of its players in the Champions League this season. Maybe they managed to get Gundogan, Joao Felix, or Joao Cancelo to strengthen their squad but I still don't see them being a tough challenger for teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester City, or Real Madrid in this competition. I think barcelona should be able to get past this group stage first and after that we can see where Xavi's squad is going.

Man United only won when playing with small clubs, when they met Tottenham and Arsenal, Ten Hag's squad lost. I think it's fair to say that United is not yet completely good, Ten Hag has not been able to bring the Red Devils to a consistent winning path. It is possible that the addition of several new players will have an impact on the Red Devils' performance, but of course this will require a little time to adapt.

The latest rumors about a player scandal have increased the burden on Ten Hag in managing United. With this international break, it gives Ten Hag the freedom to improve his squad for the better.

What?, DO you see football man? Manchester United its playing BAD, after one seasonwith Ten Hag h cant make the team play good, and they are playing worst right now, against Arsenal they dont make anything, asides of the goal and the disallowed one, they play like a little team, agains Wolves they only win 1-00 and with a non concedeed clearly penalty in favour of Wolves, they lose 2-0 agains totenham ,a nd they win after being 2-0 down against Nothingham, so we can see they can make good games against bigger teams.

Manchester United team is performing well in some matches which seems much better than last season. The coach of the team is probably applying new techniques on the players. This has improved the team tremendously.

Because in this case he has his own way of doing the match and their goal is victory regardless of how the tactics they show, they don't really care about that.

For us football lovers it's not interesting but for Simeone and Atletico who are the players as long as they get good results then they will definitely do the same.
Actually looking at the group conditions, they should be favorites and more able to play more freely in the group phase but it depends on Simeone whether they will try a high dominance style or a bus parking scheme with full defense after scoring a goal and making the match less interesting to watch.

Looking in terms of club strength, it seems that this is not something difficult for both Bayern and Manchester United because their conditions are far in favor compared to Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
But on the other hand, there is still a lot of work that Ten Hag has to do at this time, especially with several players who may still be absent due to a hurricane of injuries that could be troublesome for them. As for Bayern, it seems that I will not doubt them, especially when looking at the experience and achievements they always get in the Champions League, so indeed the possibility of them qualifying and even winning the group is very possible.

The Barcelona team will play at their best to do well in the Champions League. Barcelona's team performed very poorly in the Champions League last season. This season coach Xavi has added some new players to the squad who will look to create a strong team with a lot of experience in the new equation so that Barcelona can do well in the Champions League.

With the composition of the group they are in, I would easily say that Barcelona will qualify from the group stage and will most likely be accompanied by Leipzig. Barcelona look much better prepared this season than last. It can be said that the previous season they were still groping for their strength, because rising from the downturn was something that was not easy. and they amazingly managed to become champions when they had just come out of a phase where they had to fight to be in the top 4 in the previous season. and I think I will see them in the next round.
