I wouldn't call it a reinvention as they are still playing what they are notorious for, but they had difficulties bringing it onto the pitch last season. The way they play is very high intensity and I thought that players like van Dijk are not suitable for their tactic anymore because they declined in intensity. But it works again for them and they play their high pressing again. For some weeks I thought that this could come to an end for Klopp at Liverpool, but they have no reason to make any changes at all. They will be busy though finding new players when Salah also leaves the club, which could be next summer.

If we look at the history of previous UEFA Europa League champions, the champions were indeed a strong team in Europe like Sevilla. I think there is nothing unpredictable here. But of course all teams still have the same opportunities. And it often happens that a weak team beats a strong team. But this season the Uefa European League has clubs at Champions League level like Liverpool. I still see Liverpool as the one who will have the biggest chance of becoming champions. Liverpool is a team that has Champions League quality. Other teams who have a chance are Marseille and West Ham but I would still bet on Liverpool.

It's not worth to bet, the chance to win by guessing the champion is low and the odds isn't that high. It's better to bet from semi final match because the chance a fixed match is completely low.

A group stage result can't be used to forecast the performance in quarter final, it's usually different.

Yeah considering there remaining matches they stands on a higher opportunity of winning those matches and just like you said if they manages to win those matches the Europa League trophy will be theirs. Liverpool has not drop in times of performance even last season they were also very much in a good shape especially when sadio mane was still in the Liverpool there performance became even more stronger, so considering how impressive Liverpool has been on this season especially the Europa League I believe that they will win the Europa League.

Although in as much as Liverpool may still have some more rivals that may likely challenge there performance I don't think that would made them to lose the chance of becoming the Europa League champion.

Last season, when Sevilla were really down in La Liga but they managed to win the Europa League, they had a pretty strong mentality in the Europa League, just like Real Madrid in the UCL and Sevilla in the Europa League.

In the Europa League many surprises occur and here it is very difficult to predict which team will be able to come out as champions, in the previous season we have seen many strong teams who were favored but in the end they failed too, Liverpool this season is the same as Arsenal in the Europa League Last season, they were strong and they were the favorites but it was still difficult and it was not impossible that Liverpool would suffer the same fate as Arsenal last season.

The odds can always mislead us for the winner of these tournaments. Manchester City have been shown as the biggest favourite for many years but they were barely able to win the title in the previous season for example. Maybe they might not be able to win it twice by the end of this season as well which wouldn't surprise me at all.

Some teams really have a culture of winning these titles on one hand. Real Madrid are just the team for that when it comes to the Champions League while it has been Sevilla in the Europa League for quite a long time. Therefore maybe Liverpool are the biggest favourite here now but if Sevilla come down to the Europa League we never know what happens. 

I understand your perspective about the odds going against the favourites but it is always in the rare cases. Talking about Manchester city, they have been the most unlucky in the champions league. Every season they will be named the best team and yet they will not win the champions league, if not for the last season that the narrative changed.

It is also possible that Liverpool will not win the Europa League because this is football, but a bet that Liverpool will win the Europa League is less risky and likely to happen. So, it is not an insane prediction if someone decides to bet on that.

But what difference does it make for Liverpool now? I think that loss against Toulouse doesn't really matter and it could also be observed that Liverpool wasn't playing the best they could. The fans aren't supposed to like that they lost, but in realistic terms Liverpool is going to finish that group as the first. They would have to have a whole lot of issues to mess this up and not finish first.

But down the line I think that Liverpool is one of the few candidates that can be deemed favorites to win the Europa League. But favorite doesn't mean they will, it is just that they are probably the strongest team with the highest tension in their national league besides Bayer Leverkusen.

The main problem was if the secondary squad didn't have equal performance compared to the main squad. I meant the main squad of liverpool is obviously in another level. The different thing is now when liverpool will try to use its secondary player and it will get bad result. This is also the main problem that must be solved by klopp. This guy was only thinking about how to make its main squad better, but he forgot to think how to build a good secondary squad as well to be a backup once the main players are injured.

Klopp is missing one of the important part in the football if the club must have equal players whether it was on the main squad or secondary squad at this moment.
Klopp needs to put his concern how to strengthen the secondary squad during the winter transfer window. I can't even imagine if salah diaz and nunez will be injured at the same time. It will make liverpool goes down so hard. Liverpool's lost against toulouse has proven that if the club must have always played with the main squad.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are in very good form in the Europa League. The Leverkusen team is unbeaten so far. However, Liverpool lost a match against Toulouse. Even so, these two teams seem to be the strongest contenders for the Europa League title so far. However, several teams from the Champions League will play in this year's Europa League. Big teams like Manchester United, Newcastle, PSG and Dortmund are likely to play in the Europa League. And if these teams are in the Europa League, it will not be easy for Leverkusen and Liverpool to dominate the Europa League. It cannot be said yet which team is the favorite for the Europa League title.

Liverpool on the last recent games have not been doing well when playing away with 2 lost games and one draw and even that loss against Toulouse was catastrophic to say the least,I never understood how can a team who dominate the game at home and wins 5-1 to not be able to contest in the return game where they lost and was the biggest surprise of Europa League of that night.

In Premier League is different,they are fighting but even if they lose against Manchester City they are still in the fight for the title while in Europa League they should be very careful indeed as when we get into elimination stage another shameful disaster like that against Toulouse and they are out of the tournament.

Liverpool is very much in a good form this season because they have been really performing well in almost all the league they are in, including the premier League, there taget this season is to win two trophies which is Europa and premier league and based on there performance on there Europa group they have more upper chances of winning the league because even in there group they have been maintaining the first position since day one.

Also there only rival on premier league is Manchester City because Manchester City is very strong that the possibility of Liverpool winning them is very low but however if Liverpool eventually wins they automatically become the first position on the premier league table. So they are really performing really well this season so however even if they were unable to win the two trophies but I'm sure that they will surely wins one.

I realized how surprised I was to see Ajax's performance this season, even though they were in chaos at the start of the domestic league season. This was also very influential in the European league competition and ultimately put them at the bottom of group B. Ajax's chance of qualifying was gone but they still had the opportunity to continue the competition in the conference league play-off round if they managed to win the remaining two matches.

Even if the Erik Ten Hag era is over, they should still be able to continue to be consistent with the existing squad and again, maybe there is a problem in the dressing room that causes all of that. This is proven by the dismissal of coach Maurice Steijn and temporarily Hedwiges Maduro has been appointed as interim coach until Ajax gets a new coach. Now Ajax must be able to return to normal and provide good results in the future.

yes, Liverpool is one of the strong candidates for the Europa League. we still haven't seen the teams that will enter the playoff round from those eliminated from the Champions League. we cannot underestimate the teams that will enter the play-off round. but Liverpool with the remaining matches I think will be easy for them to win. and they will qualify for the next round. they have a fairly easy group and their performance this season has made quite an improvement over last season.

The guarantee is still not there but the probability of them is very high at the moment.
They top the table with a 5-point lead over 3rd-placed Prague meaning they only need to win to qualify from the group stage.
Another scheme that can make them comfortable at the top is that they must be able to win against Prague and win against Rangers in the last match or a draw and win in their last 2 matches is enough to be able to take them at the top of the standings without having to go through the Play Off.
Sevenarnya I feel that this will be an advantage for Betis because even though now there is still no guarantee but the situation is still very favorable for them.

Liverpool manager squad rotation failed and it did not give him result he rested a good set of players for the game they played against Brentford it was a nice thing to rest them but the players played did not bring forth result. Actually,  he lost a game to win a safe spot in the premier league everything still nice since they just need a win to qualify.  Barcelona did well they got knocked out by Man United and Man United deserved the progress the game was a fair one.
Liverpool have not been inconsistent in Europa League they will go far they are one of the biggest sides in the competition.  They have played and failed before,  they are now trying to kill two birds with a stone. Premier League top four for Champions league and winning the Europa League Competition.

As Liverpool won the home match by a huge margin of 5-1. So I don't think Liverpool will lose in the away match. Moreover, the Liverpool team was in very good form. So Liverpool's defeat against Toulouse was a completely unexpected result for me. However, Liverpool are fully focused on the Premier League now. Although defeated in the Europa League match, the team managed to maintain consistency in the Premier League match. Maybe we will see a better performance from Liverpool in the next Europa League matches. And the Liverpool team will be at the top of the points table.

Yes, Liverpool was defeated against Toulouse in the previous match. No one expected the result, people actually was surprised. But this Europa League always gives surprises to us, it was the same as Barcelona was eliminated in the previous season. That's why Liverpool can't underestimate smaller teams, they surely have the ability to defeat Liverpool at any time. Although Liverpool is the favorite team to win the title, it doesn't guarantee anything. If Liverpool still plays inconsistently, they are possible to be eliminated in the knock-out round.

True. There will be more stronger opponents in the next round when there are some teams from UCL joining this competition. However, I think Liverpool and Leverkusen will remain the most favorite teams to win the title if they can play consistently.

There is no guarantee for that, even though Liverpool has a bigger name than other teams. despite the fact that currently I can say my performance is in good condition. However, the group phase is not over yet, although we can be sure that Liverpool will be group winners in this European League group phase. maybe they will meet a strong team, which failed in the Chanpions League. It could also be that Liverpool is defeated by a mediocre team when their performance is declining. or, some of the main players are injured. Another reason could be, if Liverpool releases Moh Salah this January. and as we know, in football it is unique. Not infrequently, teams that are favorites for the League trophy fall midway and Leverkuzen is no exception. one small mistake, can have fatal consequences when they play the match.

Referring to what you said, regarding Liverpool and Liverpool. In fact, Leverkusen was able to match Bayern with a score of 2-2. In fact, so far Levekusen has been more consistent without losing. and if they are able to provide resistance to Bayern, the same will be true if they meet in a match against Liverpool. and the worst thing is, in the end these two teams slipped, just like Manchester United and Arsenal last season. In the end, the team whose performance was poor was able to win this competition trophy. that is, we can assume as much as we think and want. However, the facts will be determined when this competition reaches the final round. we will find out which team will compete in the final match.

At the point where other team would have joined from the champions league, the Europa will definitely get tough such that it may at some point even appear difficult to predict because those team who crashed out of champions league will want to make they get something out of the Europa.

The team already in the Europa who would have definitely make not pass the group stage will at this time get to work harder and improve more on their performance if they must retain good spots enough to probably be able to secure the trophy especially teams like Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen who has so much got their eyes on the league trophy this season as they see it to be their opportunity to win.
