Sporting is a heavyweight in the Liga Portugal yes but this year they are not in the best of their form and the difference between Premier League where Arsenal plays compared to Liga Portugal is huge,Premier League being the major league in Europe for many sport enthusiasts and also for me.

With this said I think that Arsenal should be capable to close the game already in this first leg by winning here just with 1 goal difference like a 0-1 result so they remain focused on the Premier League as I don't think they will have problems beating Sporting in London and with a big number of goals difference.

With the prospect of facing Thursday-Sunday football for the rest of the season, I have a feeling that Mikel Arteta will have to balance his squad and rotate effectively in order to overcome a tough schedule.Sporting CP is a heavy weight in the Portuguese league and Arsenal needs to enter that game with all manner of urgency. Mixing an unexpected title race with the chance of winning a first ever European trophy is still an exciting opportunity though. At the same time I think Arsenal can put up a decent team without a few key players and still get a result.

I doubt that ten Haag put any focus on punishments in preparation for this Europa League game. He is a guy with authority who is eager to find the right words to make his players recover and feel better, not to punish them and make them feel bad. There is no point in doing that unless they would have lost several games in a row in a devastating manner. But this was obviously an unusual slip-up as everyone knows.

It is not that they can't play soccer anymore and that is why punishments as you mention them wouldn't do any good. He has probably found some very harsh words for the whole team, but then it is what it is. A sharp analysis on the game and then it is all about mental focus and strength.

They know that the first leg is important as this is their home game. You really want to create an advantage in your home game especially when it is the first leg. Betis will play defensively and perhaps wait for the opportunity to score one goal. They won't expect much except for their objective to keep a clean sheet. I think we will see a standard defensive Real Betis.

Ten hag already made some punishment for MU's player. I think that we will see how good MU is when it will be facing betis soon. Betis will become another important opponent to be defeated by MU. The lost against liverpool has been giving a huge pressures to the mentality from MU's players. It can't be avoided by MU must move on. There are lots of things that need to be done by the club.Ten hag was aiming to win europa league trophy. Losing against liverpool didn't mean if it will lose a chance to catch trophy.
MU has so many chances to fix the problem. I can't deny that if the result from the past match against liverpool makes me feel so bad. losing 7-0 is not a small scores for a big club like MU

Ten hag will always be choosing fernandes as a captain in MU. It seems like that the bad result against liverpool didn't affect his decision to change MU's captain. Let's see how the match against betis will be going on.

Manchester United players should consider their defeat against Liverpool as an accident and forget about it. If they do this, we will not see any impact of this defeat in the upcoming matches. And I believe we will not see the impact of this accident in the upcoming matches. Ten Hag is quite an experienced coach. He has managed to transform an almost troubled team into a strong one. He won't let this party break up like that again. He will definitely take appropriate steps to stabilize the team and make the team players so confident. Today they will face Real Betis in Europa League match. I expect Manchester United to win.

Don't you see any contradiction in your reasoning, especially against the background of the fact that the second participant in the game Liverpool - United recently lost big (record for their field) to Real? United lost big but in fact it's a common loss of points that happen regularly and by the way it's a round robin tournament so it's not as tragic as in the playoffs.
Betis is a strong team and even Real Madrid couldn't beat them away, so most likely United will try to resolve the issue immediately in the first game.

I think you were referring to the game between Manchester United and Liverpool, and not Manchester City. Just a minor correction.

I don't think that at this level of professionalism where these teams are at that such a defeat will have long-term consequences or even have an influence on the next game let alone determine how they will play in the future at all.

That is essentially what a coach is there for. His task is to get the defeat out of their heads after a proper analysis of the bad game, taking some learnings from it and then make the players forget about the parts that they don't need to improve. It is enough of a dishonor for them to be standing on the pitch when the opponent scores for the fifth, then the sixth, and then even the seventh time. There really isn't any urgency to further punish them. You can raise your voice and make clear for one time that this should never happen again, but afterwards it is all about building a strong mind again for the next game that is just around the corner.

I think ten Haag is a coach who understands the mental state of his team very well and he is a good communicator within the team. He can be tough, but I think he has a good connection to his players. That is what's more important than practicing a single situation a thousand times that they did wrong during the game against Liverpool. They know what went wrong anyway.

Usually when a team loses a game with a bad result like a match between Manchester City and Liverpool the team who lost the game will have a bad situation and they will have problems with the next games they have a will regarding Manchester United they have a Ten Hag as coach to manage this situation for them and maybe they will show a very good performance after this game to prove themselves and decrease the pressure.

Roma might be lucky because Betis is in better shape now while it looks like Real Sociedad is struggling a bit, but I don't know whether I would call it lucky that Roma faces them.

I think that Roma and Real Sociedad are meeting on eye level. They are weaker than the top teams in their domestic leagues, but stronger or equally strong with the contenders right behind the top teams. As has been said many times before he though the Europa League is a completely different competition and it doesn't have much to do with what is going on in the league. If that was the case Sevilla would be supposed to lose against Fenerbahce, but nobody here would say that.

Freiburg can be hard to beat and I am curious how they are going to do in their away game against Juventus. Freiburg's shape is good and they will give additional effort into this game for sure.

Losing a match is normal thing with any team can face defeat in any competition but losing match by 7 - 0 is surely the biggest defeat which needs to be settled before another big encounter against Real Betis which is also good team, but surely they are not good enough like Liverpool because Liverpool is surely one of the premier clubs in Europe, and they have good history of having results like these but as they have done in this match surely this is amazing because before this match no one were expecting scoreline like this specially while you have the best defenders in English Premier League but hopefully Erik ten Hag will bring back confidence of his players as he is doing from the early rounds of this season, and they will be at their best again in coming matches in both leagues because now still they are good for having third spot in Premier League and having spot into last two of Europa Cup.

Of course, Ten Hag and all of his players felt obliged to give everything for the team after losing to Liverpool. The defeat may have an impact on the players' psyche, but they know what to do during the recovery process. There are games that they must win, there are titles that must be fought for, and they are paid for it by their owners.

But whatever happens in the next match against Real Betis is something that cannot be predicted precisely. Manchester United have a good chance, but so do Real Betis. Both teams have home matches, so there should be a chance to win the match.

Can't wait to see how United will start the game tomorrow after the 7-0 defeat last week. Surely such results should be in the heads of players? You can always have a bad day, but in the EL that is already deadly. Real Betis is also definitely not a walk over, they will have to work hard. Real Betis has of course seen better times, but in principle United should be able to continue. On paper, Juventus seems to have drawn very favorably to advance to the next round, but Freiburg is not doing badly in the competition. Juventus still have a very strong squad, perhaps the best individually after United. But that doesn't say everything nowadays.

We hope they do as well as they have promised their fans. It was a humiliating defeat and a disgrace for a team that had been on a top form. I'm confident they'll recover quickly from the trauma of their loss to Liverpool. They still have a better chance against all odds of beating Real Betis and qualifying for the next round of Europa League competition. Ten Hag and his team will do well and not bring the entire team down, on that I can bet.

Overall, I can say that the two teams that will compete do not have significant differences, and in my opinion, Manchester United is slightly superior. Real Betis are doing well in La Liga as well. Manchester United are definitely aware of this, and they will definitely prepare for this match as best they can.
Yes, they should forget their defeat over Liverpool quickly and return to focusing on the next match.

This is surely going to be match of this round as both quality teams from top European Leagues are going to fight for their spot into quarterfinal which is surely going to be challenging AS Roma is currently at the third spot in Serie A and Real Sociedad is also at fourth spot which mean both are doing good and have to do better than current level if they want to stay for the title race in this season Real Sociedad was doing good in last few matches they are surely poor and losing their momentum which is concern for them and if they want to have better result then surely they have to regroup themselves otherwise AS Roma is surely quality team and their recent form in domestic league is improved which is good here I have feeling in first league Roma is going to win this match, and then we will have heated second leg match at Spain.

Yes, after all, when Pellegrini became coach of Manchester City and was able to beat Manchester United, at that time the situation and condition of Manchester United was also in a very worrying decline. But at this moment, Betis are also not as good as the previous season in La Liga, but about Manchester United who lost big in yesterday's match but in reality Manchester United's position is still fine.

With good trends that are slightly different from these two teams, then of course Manchester United is basically a top team with better quality. So I'm sure playing against Betis in the Europa League will still be able to score some goals and of course, Erik ten Hag will give a good result for Manchester United.

I'm pretty sure the woeful and shameful displayed Manchester United won't be the same when they face Former Manchester City manager Pellegri who also should be watched closely. He's won Manchester United countlessly during his stay I hope this ain't another.
I expect goals tommorow bit not to loss to Real Betis at least, I see more of a zero zero game tommorow.

The loss to Liverpool won't ams shouldn't affect us, with pain one can bounce back better amd that's where gold is really. The loss won't send Real Betis knocking United out.

Manchester United is surely one of the best club in Europe with Real Betis is also having good reputation and form in La Liga now after two days we are going to have first leg match at Old Trafford which is surely going to be important for the Manchester United after having the biggest defeat just few days back and now this is tested case as well with can they fight back and having good chance for the better result because mostly feeling currently they are lack in confidence and can face problems but for me this is not case with mostly players are having good experience.

They can fight back after this defeat with learning from their mistakes in this match are going to be motivational for them and their matches in rest of this season, and they are still having fair chance for the win in this Europa Cup after having this humiliates defeat in hands of Liverpool.

Even though they previously won against Juventus in the domestic league, they were only able to score 1 goal and in my opinion this average goal will not make Roma so safe in the European league. I think if Roma really want to compete with other teams in the European leagues they can at least win by 2 goals and I don't think Mourinho can come up with a good strategy for his players. Even if they win, I think Roma will win by a narrow score against Sociedad later, but the chances of winning are also very small.

After all, it's only one match and doesn't happen repeatedly or often, so that result still can't be used as a benchmark for the next match. Also, each team has different results in different competitions, so the result of Manchester United's big defeat in the Premiere League, of course, will be different for Manchester United's result in the Europa League.

If they forget about Manchester United's results in the Premiere League, and start considering the final result when Manchester United beat and eliminated Barcelona in this Europa League. So of course, Manchester United are still very good in the Europa League and of course they still have a chance to qualify for the next round.
