Ten hag wasn't in a tough league, and secondly he was in the toughest club ruling a weak league for that he had better advantages. I will support it if u said Ten Hag is more experienced than Xavi but saying that he is a better coach than Xavi I will say u judge based on the current performance. Becaquse the same reason should make u rate him above Artetta but because Arteta is doing well, u wouldn't say Ten hag is better than him.
Basically I have never blamed any coach for the team they lead, either in the past or at the moment. Regarding experience, of course everyone has seen how Erik ten Hag coached other teams before Manchester United, and everyone also knows how Xavi was when he first coached Barcelona because he is a young coach among most other coaches so there is a clear difference in experience. Talking about the good and bad of the team they coach, it actually has to be assessed thoroughly by not cornering just one person like the coach.

Barcelona look like they are in search of another striker to increase the alternatives. At least the speculations say that. I have seen Enner Valencia's name in the rumours. Maybe this is related to the possibility of Depay's departure. I still think they shouldn't let him go yet but it looks like he can leave anytime. Depay is still a good backup option for Lewandowski actually.
Barcelona had better make their decision carefully not to have only Lewandowski as a striker in the squad. Otherwise the rest of the season might be in danger for them in case of Lewandowski's possible absence. The Europa League goal of them would also be affected badly.

So far, I haven't heard any definite news after Depay left for Atletico Madrid. even so, like it or not Xavi must maximize the available players. I'm not sure about Ferran Torres, but at least Xavi has to give Ansu Fati plenty of chances. he also deserves to be given the chance to play more minutes, even rotating him into a center forward.
Regarding the rumors about Enner Valencia, even though he is already 33, his contribution when defending the Ecuador national team deserves a thumbs up and I am quite impressed with his hard work and high enthusiasm. other news, recently Hakim Ziyech offered himself to Barcelona after Depay's departure. I thought maybe he could be another option, if the price to get him was relatively cheap.
But as you said, Xavi cannot always depend on Lewandowski and has to look for backup players and if you look at Enner Valencia's price tag which is quite cheap. seems like he deserves to be reckoned with. at least, Barcelona must add ammunition if they want to win the Europa League trophy.
Eric did brought Manchester united into bright light,he was able to discipline the players and built a team that is very strong and superb. It is Eric vs Xavi on the match day as both coach will want to show their quality that they have all it takes to win the match. Barca are performing excellently which will not make it easy for Manchester united to win the match. If Lewandoski is macked out it will be a problem for the club since De pay is gone.
Since Depay has already left, I'm sure they're looking for a plan B. The worst-case scenario for Barcelona is that Lewandowski is injured before their match against Manchester United. I'm not saying they won't have a chance, but they'll face a lot of pressure from Manchester United, as well as a goal drought because they don't have a striker who can simply finish the game for them when necessary. This is supposed to be a tough match, but given the present state of things, we may have to just see Manchester United prevailing against Barcelona.Barcelona versus Manchester United match is going to be quite difficult for Barcelona. And I do not know what Barcelona is going to do if somehow for some reason Robert Lewandowski, who generally does not get injured for long periods of time, does end up getting injured.
Barcelona will not have a proper striker if that happens. As long as Barcelona have Robert Lewandowski on the team, I do not think they will have to worry. But it will be better if Barcelona does keep a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Obviously, they are not going to find someone like him. But they will have to get someone who will be a good substitute.
The match between Barcelona and MU is still a long time, about 1 month later, with that space, anything change can happen with the squad or team. As I remember several years of situations when a team is favored to win like Barcelona which has a perfect squad has loss meet the underdog team. We can say Barcelona is a team that can not have a problem beating MU, but if 1 of the player have a problem like an injured or can't play on that match, that possible MU will take the opportunity to win and go to the next round.
Indeed, in the match later, one thing that is most feared is if there are major players who suffer injuries during matches in their respective regular leagues. But talking about injuries, sometimes there are some players who get injured during training sessions and that is also something that coaches should be aware of. However, if Man United vs Barcelona later appears with the full main squad, it seems that the match will run more exciting and it will be even more difficult to guess who will win.Definitely Manchester United vs Barcelona will be so interesting game, Any mistakes from any of the teams will be used as an opportunity for victory. The result will tell if Barcelona is ready for europa league or not , this season it seems Barcelona is just much interested in winning the laliga. Manchester United have been well in the Europa league, they would like to still maintain their consistency.
The match against Arsenal today will be one of the most serious tests for Manchester United before the match with Barcelona. They can make a rehearsal of the Barcelona match with the game they will put forward in this match. Arsenal are currently leading the Premier League and they are playing very well. Manchester United is one of the teams that follow them. Today's game is very important. Barcelona, on the other hand, gave a very good image in the match they played with Real Madrid.

A very good review about Erik ten Hag surely he was in weak league with tough team which give him some good advantages and his experiments are also working in English Premier League as well which are helping him for having better results against opponents even he is still looking for better results and time will tell how good he is with Xavi he was relatively new and have no good experience but good player, but his coaching ability is also good with he started from poor and now having at the top of Spanish league.Arteta is completely different person he is here for sometime with good support and hard work he achieves good results if Erik ten Hag able to do same thing then surely we can compare him with Arteta because then surely this could be comparable, but Xavi is totally in different peace of mind.

With or without Lewandoski Barcelona will so so many stars

When comparing the two coaches, the name Erik ten hag is still above Xavi when it comes to his contribution to the club. Erik ten hag was successful with Ajax, that's why the red devils brought him to Old Trafford to train Manchester United now, while Xavi might have helped him with his contribution as a Barcelona legend which allowed him to now train Barcelona's main club. It will take time for Xavi to be compared to a coach as great as Erik ten Hag and I think Xavi can achieve that in a few seasons.
Now it's not the right time to compare because Xavi hasn't coached Barcelona for too long, even though Xavi will be great if he can lead Barcelona to win two different competitions this season. But apart from all that, I just want to see them compete really well in the Europa League because lately the two teams have started to improve the way they play in their respective domestic leagues in order to be better this season, including for the Europa League competition.

Depay officially left Barcelona and joined Atlético. I don't know who Barcelona will be able to sign as a replacement as Barcelona only received three million euros for this transfer. It seems that their financial situation is bad and the La Liga management does not allow them new transfers even if they come up with new leverage.

Xavi can not compare to Ten Hag who has a longer career than Xavi. Ten Hag not only has a longer career but also more successful one. He succeeded in Netherlands with Ajax Amstersdam in Eredivisie league and in Champions League with a generation of De Ligt, De Jong, Ziyech. Xavi only has one title with Barcelona recent days in Spanish Super Cub. He failed with Barcelona in Champions League this season and comparing their records, Xavi has a less impressive record than Ten Hag.

It will take time for Xavi to be compared to a coach as great as Erik ten Hag and I think Xavi can achieve that in a few seasons.But Xavi is managing Barcelona right now, and they are leading the league currently as well, which is a big achievement, to come back from a terrible season where the manager was sacked, into a season where you may beat Real? That's very good too.

I think they have to focus on getting out of the position they are in La Liga now. Because in the Champions League, their chances of becoming champions are not as big as other better teams. Let's say, if they win the Champions League this season, but in La Liga they have to go where they have to it will be a big joke. I understand they also want to show their best here, but don't let this stop them from doing better in the domestic league.
With current form and situation in La Liga most chances they could be not able to have positive ending in UEFA Europa League because things are looking completely down for them, and they have to do positive endings in Spanish League for their survival after break they have good results and now in next two rounds they are going to face weaker sides which can help them for having out of the relegation zone first today they are going to face Cadiz and then in next round they have another easy match against Elche which will give them good encouragement and good points.PSV is relatively in better shape, and they are at the top of the Dutch league with good results even few matches give them setbacks but still they can improve quickly and have ability to fight against tough teams so things looking easy for them in this competition as well.

When it comes to the Sevilla v PSV draw it is likely to be in favour of PSV to tell the truth. The odds are also favouring them for advancing to next round. I don't see anything strange about it because we all see how bad Sevilla are in this season. The break for the World Cup still hasn't changed anything about their performance. They have returned with the same bad look. They are even under the danger of relegating from the La Liga under these conditions.
While in this situation I don't know how Sevilla players can motivate themselves to be successful in the Europa League. Of course they can think like the Europa League is their only chance but they don't have such an option to care about the La Liga less than that. PSV are in much better condition and they should be able to show this in action in this matchup as well.
Sevilla are struggling at the moment, it is understandable that they will be pushing their focus to escaping relegation this season. I think they might not be concerned on advancing to the next round when they face PSV. Sevilla really need to start winning games because for a big club like Sevilla to go to relegation is a disgrace and it wouldn't be good for their reputation While in this situation I don't know how Sevilla players can motivate themselves to be successful in the Europa League. Of course they can think like the Europa League is their only chance but they don't have such an option to care about the La Liga less than that.

The two matches between them will be in the final mood and whoever passes the round will gain a great advantage. In addition, Xavi and Ten Hag will make important touches to the game. I expect a match like a chess challenge.
~snip~
Yes, you could say this was a match with high intensity. Both teams proved their performance in their respective leagues and it looks like this will also be a strategic battle between coaches Erik ten hag and Xavi. So far, the Red Devils' defense has been very solid when compared to the previous season, maybe you already know the reason and for Barcelona, Araujo's role in defense is very strong, making it difficult for any striker to get past him. For Barcelona's attack line, we know how Lewandowski's quality has been so sharp in front of the opponent's goal, while Manchester United are still waiting to prove Weghorst's performance this season.As far as my assessment goes, Weghorst is just another option for Ten Hag with a different strategic pattern when he needs the services of this tall striker. As for the match vs Palace, Ten Hag tried to give him the opportunity to make his first debut. So, I'm not sure if in the future Ten Hag will always include Wout Weghorst as its main starter. maybe he will always be played, to get chemistry with other MU players. however, does not appear to be a key player. because if MU intends to buy players this January, Ten Hag can bring in other players who are sharper, ready, and can be relied on.
but anyway, we are surprised by this new player. but it seems, Ten Hag has other plans to build a team that he thinks is ideal.
Well, we agree with Araujo. Barcelona's current defense line has become solid again by appearing quite disciplined. we know very well that no one doubts Lewandowski, it's just that I'm still not sure about Xavi's coaching. Barcelona has a good depth of players, so the only problem is Xavi.
Xavi's role in concocting his strategy and formation was an important part of the key to Barcelona's victory.
