It is very unfortunate that these big teams were unable to compete with Chelsea's dominance. And if only these big teams, namely Fiorentina, Real Betis and Copenhagen, were able to improve their performance, competing tightly at the top of the standings, maybe this EUFA conference league would be more interesting to watch.
It still early days and still in the match 3 so there are still lot of games and there are several phases of the next round to compete for the title, initially I felt that only Fiorentina would be able to be strong competitor, I underestimated Chelsea but over time seeing Chelsea development here and in the Premier League it looks like they are really getting stronger and can have real increase in performance.
I don't know who will win the title later at the end of the competition are in final but Chelsea managed to surprise everyone and did not expect their performance.

Başakşehir surprised everyone last night, I wasn't expecting a win or a draw from Başakşehir but they managed to get 1 point.
I think they played really well against Copenhagen, it's an important 1 point for them.
Başakşehir upset many people yesterday because everyone thought Copenhagen would win and they bet accordingly.
That match messed up my betting slip because it was supposed to be a very easy win for Copenhagen. What was most disappointing was the fact that Copenhagen have to be struggling to equalize as Basaksehir was always scoring first. The 2:2 draw did not favor and if I had known it will turn out that way, I would have opted for both teams to score or simply go with goals. Despite the draw, I don't see them progressing to the next round although their next match against Petrocub Hîncești seems like a three point for them.

For sure it is more equilibrate competition in comparison to the past but for sure it has less appeal for sponsors and money is all what is important nowdays.
I'm curious how much money is spent on this competition considering some sponsors agree with a three-year cycle such as Lidl[1]. From the prize breakdown it doesn't seem like the money is the major appeal for clubs to participate in the competition[2], so TV deals and so on must have their major goals. Hankook also extended its contract afaik[5].

On the other hand, some sponsors pass on the opportunity to renew their contract, although it's unclear whether they don't think the competition is appealing or because they struggle internally[3]. UEFA is quick to replace them though[4]. So there is some money to be made, whether their investment is worth it we can only wait until this competition is running for 5 years or more. CMIIW.

if you ask me, I don't like the energy they are using in this conference league game and how they are concieving unnecessary goals from this teams. Tournament as this are platforms you use to perfect what you plan on using in the EPL or in more competitive leagues and not scoring few goals and then you sit back and continue playing with less seriousness.
What are you saying? I don’t think there is anything wrong with the goals that they are scoring; they have the opportunity and are using it; at least,  
Am almost moved to question how some of you guys watch football games and yet don't understand that it's a game of chance and you've got the take the opportunity as much as it comes. @Hewlet if you don't know, Chelsea scoring as many goals as possible through chances created won't stop them from scoring goals in their next game against Arsenal this weekend if arsenal performance poorly.

There has been many occurrences where teams had to win the trophy with just a few goal margin when points seem to be leveled between different contending teams, it's for this reason teams make sure to score as many goals as they can in every game.  So you know now.

Please educate him so that he will know what football is all about. If he still finds it hard to understand, he should go back to the table. He will see that Chelsea are now at the top of the table, where they had the same points with almost 5-6 teams, but they are at the top due to the interval of goals. At least I hope he will understand how this thing works..

Yeah exactly as the image explains the position better clearly showing the goals difference between Chelsea, Arsenal and Aston villa that are with sane points but with just 3 goals difference Chelsea sits at the top four just above Arsenal followed by Aston villa who are both with 17 goals and are below arsenal due to the higher number of goals they conceded which is above that of Arsenal's. Hence, it's safe to say that a team's number of goals both for and against plays a crucial role in positioning them on the table when points tally. So when you have opportunity to score goals you've to score as much as possible.

This cup have more sense now than in the past years.
Europa League and Conference League now have more value but less intereste.

Let me explain.
Without the possibility to have Champions League team in Europa League and team from Europa League in Conference League after the failing in the group stage, these cups actually are played with less stronger teams.

For sure it is more equilibrate competition in comparison to the past but for sure it has less appeal for sponsors and money is all what is important nowdays.

In the past you could have teams like Inter Milan 2 years ago, now teams like them can't be in the cup anymore.


And yes I'm expecting Premier League dominance in this cup cause the median level of the teams is way higher than the other countries.

Chelsea are beating Noah 6 : 0 in what seem to be like goals festival for the London blues tonight. Enzo Fernandez was able to get a three assists within 20 minutes in helping to secure those goals in the first half. Am impressed with Chelsea performance tonight and how Enzo has been able to light up the midfield, looking great for me as I have had to criticise him in other games he underperformed, so it interesting to see some improvement and hope to see some consistency with that about when they meet Arsenal in the EPL this weekend.
Indeed I must confess, it actually looked like a goal festival for Chelsea in today's game performance against FC Noah, because inasmuch as we knew Chelsea had the capacity of winning this game effortlessly, we never expected they could also effortlessly score goals at each interval into the game, which finally ended with a clear clean sheet of 8 goals to nil. It was really interesting watching this game last week, and a big kodus to Adarabioyo, Félix and Nkunku who scored the first and most goals of yesterday's game. And likewise I'm sure
FC Heidenheim will still not be able to withstand Chelsea in the forthcoming game that will be played on 28th November 2024.

In Chelsea's match against Noah, I believe Chelsea will be the favorite due to their superiority. Chelsea is currently in good shape in the Premier League, competing with big clubs and aiming for the title this season. They have also performed well in the Conference League and are expected to advance to the next round. All Chelsea players are in excellent form because of how they performed in yesterday's encounter, and they are fully prepared to face Arsenal this weekend in the Premier League.Heidenheim cannot compete with Chelsea in the tournament since they are not good enough to face Chelsea; although in the league, they are sufficient to win matches in the Bundesliga. I just wish Chelsea to win the title and probably qualify to the top 4 in the league, and get the opportunity of qualifying to the ucl next season. Am impressed with the coach because no one beleave Chelsea will do well this time around.

Europa Conference League is not as interesting as it was before because if you look at many teams that are in the League some teams look like academy teams, a team that played against Chelsea yesterday looks like an academy team if not Chelsea would not have scored that kind of goals in the match, 8 goals in one match and the opponents can't score even a single goal in the match, I know Chelsea is better than The opponents but the squad Chelsea use yesterday are not even second 11, those squad are third 11 players of Chelsea.
Can I ask you when Conference league was interesting? It's just 4th season of competition and if you're not fan of one of competing clubs, probably you won't watch it until late stages when big clubs will start facing each other. Group stage always been big clubs without main players facing minor clubs.
But when you beat your opponent 8:0 playing with reserve squad, it doesn't add much prestige to competition.

Başakşehir FK had disappointed everyone in the first two games, but against Copenhagen, one of their toughest matches, they played a very superior game and just missed out on victory. Now they need to win against Petrocub and get to 4 points so that they can keep their play-off chances alive in the last two games. Heidenheim made a good start with 3 out of 3 in the league but Başakşehir FK is a better team than them. They can also get points there and against Cercle Brugge. Half of the games are over and unexpectedly they have only 1 point, but they still have a play-off chance.
Finally Çagdaş Atan's insistence on Deniz Dilmen came to an end and Muhammed Şengezer took over in goal. He conceded 2 goals again but he gives more confidence in goal than young Deniz. In my opinion, young goalkeepers shouldn't be tested in the Conference League. They should first play in tournaments like the Turkish Cup. Giving importance to European matches is very important for the country's coefficient points.

What a weird cup we have.
We dont have so many big teams, probably the biggest 2 teams are Chelsea by a long shot and then Fiorentina.

This could be the final but only a early game between them should not the reason to get them in final.

This cup lost a lot of value.

Since premier league has a lot of strong teams from this year, every year the english teams will be the favorite.

Those players that played yesterday for Chelsea never had a chance to score against any big team or let me say some of them have not made a debut in the Premier League they are in the Europa Conference League scoring goals like big players, Chelsea is the favorite to win this season Europa Conference League title, no any team should stress their self because Chelsea is the favorite to win the trophy.

I thought because there were other big teams participating in the competition, such as Fiorentina, Real Betis, and Copenhagen, then this would at least slightly disrupt Chelsea's dominance in this competition. But in fact it is not so, Fiorentina may not have performed too badly by only winning two of the three matches they have just participated in. But if you look at Real Betis who were only able to collect four points and Copenhagen with only two points. This does not reflect at all that they are big clubs, especially since Copenhagen is a team that always competes tightly in the fight for the domestic league title and even Copenhagen is a team that qualified for the UCL cup last season.

It is very unfortunate that these big teams were unable to compete with Chelsea's dominance. And if only these big teams, namely Fiorentina, Real Betis and Copenhagen, were able to improve their performance, competing tightly at the top of the standings, maybe this EUFA conference league would be more interesting to watch.

Chelsea seems to be the biggest club in the Conference League, they should be the favorite to win the competition. Fiorentina and Real Betis are the few big clubs that could give the Blues the biggest opposition. But we shouldn't just conclude that it will be a smooth run because other relatively unknown clubs can surprise these so-called big sides. It was a smooth game for Chelsea and they got this big win without some of their main players. Winning the Conference League will be a big plus for the club after so few trophyless seasons. 

Chelsea are indeed the biggest club in the competition as they have more highly rated players with lots of experience than any other teams. The game yesterday was a smooth ride for Chelsea. The only luck Noah had was that it was the B team that was playing and not the A team as the A team are more deadly than the B team. Chelsea players distributed the goals between eachother and they had about 6 players scoring the 8 goal. Chelsea now has a complete record of not losing any game so far and if they continue playing as they're, I don't think there's going to be any team that can defeat them in confidence league. Below are rhe players that got the goals.

How sure are you Chelsea will win? Don't get deceived by that yesterday result because there is nothing like underrated team in football again. One of those so called small teams beat Chelsea during the qualification round but Chelsea were lucky and escaped with the help of aggregate goals. I saw teams like Real Betis, Gent and also Fiorentina. Some of them have played champions league before and we can not just assume Chelsea will easily get passed of them to win the league.

It's a challenge the team have embarked on because after this sort of performance by this team, it's going to motivate the first team to be better prepared for what's coming ahead of them on Sunday against arsenal. Even if they can't score this much against arsenal,.this shows that the likelihood of getting a win against arsenal is possible.

Chelsea's next game might be the reason why some top players were rested. The Arsenal game is important because it will determine which club will maintain the top position. This is one of the benefits of having many players in a team because it will help reduce overwork and fatigue because players will be rested periodically.

that's a wonderful mentality they're building up thier. Don't pity any team, play against them like you're playing a team that's of the same quality like yourself and when you're playing a tougher team,.you wouldn't struggle to get the needed win. Even though they are playing with the second team, they are still putting out a performance that shows they are the best team currently in the conference league and winning the league should come very naturally and on a simple note. There have been talks about the likes of Joe Felix, nkunku, Pedro neto not getting more of a playing time in big games. With this kind of performance, you're sure that when you need them to step up into big games, they will still deliver.

Conference league is always meant for the minor teams I really don't know what a big team like Chelsea is doing there Chelsea are meant to play in the Europa league where they can match their equal or mate just imagine Chelsea academy winning a team 8-0 scoring 6 goals in the first without much stress.


What are you saying mate? There is a requirement that qualify a team to play any of the league you see them. Teams don't decide which league to play and which not play, their performance determines where they will play in the following season. There are rules and the rules don't care how big you think a club is. They can only play in a league they qualify for. Even if Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester City failed to qualify for champions league or Europa, they'll definitely going to play in the conference league.

Quote
If it will be possible they should give Chelsea the tittle because they will definitely win it because they have 100% chance of lifting the conference league trophy because there will a stage in that league that they Chelsea team will start using their first team to play that game.
Just as you have said conferences league matches is never an interesting game to watch unless maybe the team you fan is playing and you nothing doing at the moment then you can decide to watch it won't still not be interesting because it is academy team that will play the game.

Chelsea have been pretty consistent this season. However, it was an unimaginable result that Chelsea would win this match by such a large margin. There is no doubt that the Chelsea players performed well in this match. Chelsea players scored 8 goals in this match. I know the opponent was relatively weak. Even so scoring 8 goals was no easy task.

Noah's players did not play defensively. They tried to score. And Noah's players also attacked a lot. That's why it was a bit easier for Chelsea players to score. Chelsea managed to take a big lead of 6-0 in the first half. Joao Felix scored 2 goals and Nkunku scored 2 goals in this match.

Chelsea are not even supposed to be in the Conference League, they're too big for it, and the scores in the match between them and FC Noah is a prove concerning that. Chelsea should've been competing in the Europa League if not that Manchester United won the FA Cup and demoted Chelsea to the conference league, i think that's why they picked several players from their feeders team and rested several senior players. Well, I was impressed with their scoreline they really frustrated FC Noah with goals, 6 Nil in the first half is more than enough to frustrate an opposition team and I could see the looks on the faces FC Noah's player, I think they left Stamford Bridge with frustration. Out of the teams that represented England in international level tournaments yesterday it was only Chelsea and Manchester United that delivered good results, Tottenham tried to equalise Galatasaray but they were outplayed. Manchester United's weren't playing their best today despite winning only few players performed well, the first half was nothing to write of but Amad delivered them in the second half.

Başakşehir surprised everyone last night, I wasn't expecting a win or a draw from Başakşehir but they managed to get 1 point.
I think they played really well against Copenhagen, it's an important 1 point for them.
