Galatasaray had the opportunity to win but wasted so many chances in the match. Their tempo was slow, overall they were sloppy. Despite having the squad depth and quality needed to secure a victory, Galatasaray struggled to capitalize on their strength. Meanwhile the dutch side displayed determination and resilience, they fought real hard for the point. Gala is a team I want to see do well in all competitions because of Victor Osimhen, I don’t want to see to drop down the rankings.

It is hard to believe that Lazio could be held to a draw by a team that is at the bottom of the standings and they are a team that has not won a single match so far. This is an extraordinary achievement from Ludogorets, because even though they are at the bottom of the standings, it did not make Ludogorets hesitate at all to face Lazio who are at the top of the standings. This is a good result for Ludogorets, but bad for Lazio. In fact, if we look at the statistics of this match, Lazio really dominated the course of the match, as well as the intensity of the attacks given, but from the many opportunities obtained, not a single shot was able to penetrate and tear Ludogorets' goal.


In this match, Man United should have scored more goals, because they got so many opportunities to increase their lead. Yes, but this is a better result, compared to a draw, like in several previous matches.

I have fewer words to say about Manchester United currently,  they're in a building phase within the club and same ways I have always said even before he came into the club fully, I never flet like he is one messiah but i was never expecting a quick spark nor turn around since Ruben Amorim was sign. This is not a time to judge them if you watch them. They'll take time before they get back to winning ways.

Everyone expects Lazio to win that game. I know I was not opportune to watch the game due to some personal things, but I was not expecting to come and see a statistic of a goalless match. Even though Lazio is at the top of the table, anything can happen. I know this is the first game that they had a draw on in the Europa League, but still they need to put more effort into maintaining their standing in the league because if not for the higher goal that they had more than the two other teams, they wouldn’t have been at the top of the table now. 
 
Although from the statistics that I saw, Lazio tried their possible best; it is just that they are not lucky to have a goal. That is why, if not, their performance is still good and encouraging, no doubt, although they still have hope since they didn’t lose the game but go on a draw.

And this is why it's quite difficult to predict and bet on these games as well. I did not expect Roma and Spurs to have a tie, I did not expected Twente to have hard time, I did not expected Slavia to lose to Fenerbahce, I did not expected Ajax to lose, obviously Lazio game as well, all of these games were not what I expected at all.

Maybe some people expected some of these, but I doubt anyone who got it all right, would be very unique and very one in a million type of situation. This is why I hate betting on UEFA games, both UCL and UEL, do not gamble much on conference league to be honest, but whenever I do, I lose some of that as well.

This isn't mean to say that I would stop betting on them, I hate it because I lose every time, but I still keep on doing it because it's very fun before the games start, and I get to watch most of the games, and I just check the scores live action for the other games if I am watching some one or two of them, so it makes my week day fun, what else am I suppose to do, watch some tv show? I do that whenever I have time anyways. In the end, it's addictive to gamble and this is a proof, I know I will lose on Europa games because of these shocking games, and yet I still gamble on them.

I was very disappointed with the 0-0 result for Lazio because after all, Lazio is the team that is at the top of the Europa League standings, while Ludogorets is the team that is at the bottom of the standings. Also, in the previous four matches, Lazio always managed to get a  win and also, in Serie A, Lazio at this moment is still in a very good trend. With these considerations and the factor of playing at home, of course it made me very confident to choose Lazio in that match and even with the handicap option. But yeah, in reality maybe Lazio underestimated Ludogorets too much, until Lazio got their first draw in this Europa League, but what was worse was that Lazio was held to a draw  at home even though they only played against Ludogorets who were at the bottom of the standings.

Every good result from a match will motivate the team to be better looking forward to the next match. This is a really important victory for a new coach of a team to get, of course it not only supports the team's morale to be better, but can also be the reason why they are able to improve their performance in the next match.

As a new coach, it is clear that Amorim needs to adapt at Manchester United. This team is full of pressure and various problems, including the decline in performance of the players. Many things need to be addressed, as well as problems that need to be resolved, this is not simple and Amorim needs time to do it. The task is tough, but if he is given the trust then of course Amorim will try his best. There is only one consequence, if he fails he will be fired.

I agree both of them were like a disaster. I don't understand Okan Buruk when he prefers to start with Batshuayi. He is a great backup scorer but only when he is subbed in during later stages of a game.

I expected Okan Buruk to start with only Osimhen in the attacking side because of that. 4-2-3-1 would be a good idea in Icardi's absence. Anyway we should have still played better than this as a team. 

This was a game we could have won. If only we were more effective at finishing... By the way I strongly believe a penalty should have been given to us. In the stoppage time during Osimhen's disallowed goal, Davinson Sanchez was pulled from his shirt.

Onana often shows a good game (I would even say very good), but there are also games where he makes mistakes, and if you remember the period of his adaptation at United, you can be sure that he will have to work for a long time to build an image of a stable and strong goalkeeper.
Amorim has a tough job - Ten Hag was already "working for the future" and wanted people to "trust the process" so if he does the same with poor results, people will quickly draw parallels.

Tottenham was the better team in this match and considering how they ended their last premier league match, they should have gotten a much better result than what we saw in this match. I won’t call AS Roma a weak team in the Serie A even when their performance is not encouraging yet this season. They were able to comeback and draw the match, that’s one good thing they did there and I won’t look down on them as a weak team for that great performance.


It was a very good game by Manchester United even though a lot of people think they should have scored with more margin than this, but a three points is what is needed in every match and they were able to achieve that in this match. Everyone wanted him to show his capacity as a coach to give Manchester United a new face this season. So far, he hasn’t lost any match, a win and a draw is still a good result so far for me.

The top teams in the standings previously experienced less than satisfactory results in last night's match, Lazio, Galatasaray, Tottenham had to be willing to share points with their opponents including Ajax who had to be willing to lose full points. On the other hand, Man Utd and Fenerbahce who were previously in a less than good position in the standings gave satisfactory results by being able to secure 3 points and slowly improve their position, especially Fenerbahce, the victory will again increase the confidence of the players and of course will reopen their chances to qualify for the next phase without having to go through the play-off round with the note that all remaining matches must be won.

I think Manchester United were just lucky to win the game but I'm not surprise of their performance when it comes to the europa league Manchester United performance is always like this, it is nothing very interesting. But it so good for Manchester United to win the game, this was a result of home advantage.

 Manchester United players needs to put so much works in their performance especially in their Premier league games because what they have been able to achieve this season is not good enough for a team like Manchester United. Manchester United really needs to work hard to be in a better position.

I wasn't impressed by this performance of Lazio I expected they were going to win this game even if it was a goal differences but how they ended goalless got me wondering if they are suffering some set back already even if I know they haven't been the best this period but for a team like this I supposed wasn't their equal, they were supposed to be able to get at least a goal off them even if it will be a draw it shouldn't have been a goalless draw.
I wasn't

Manchester United performed admirably and earned three points last night, which was a better performance for Amorim. This demonstrates that the new manager of Manchester United is a good coach, and he has won his first game in the Europa League with Manchester United, and I am confident that he will do everything he can to win trophies for Manchester United before the season ends. If it hadn't been for Hojlund, I am sure Man U would have lost the match since from the first half, what a good performance from him i usual notice that many game they don't used to start with  Hojiund in some games , is a key player for Manchester United and he need to be starting games and turn the top 11 in the club, but with is performance in the Europa League yesterday am sure Amorim will be impresse with him and he will be starting games all games now if not he goes injured.

Let's look at Manchester United's game this weekend against Everton, and I believe it will be a soft game for Manchester United to get three points because Everton isn't in great shape. They need to win the game because they will play Arsenal after Everton, and they need to win to get three points in the league table to shift to another position in the table. I don't think they can get three points against Arsenal.

There was some games where the results weren't that obvious.
Beşiktaş, Porto, Dynamo Kyiv, Lazio, AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray, Ajax, Olympiacos, Nice and Tottenham Hotspur, all these teams wasted points in their respective games which shouldn't be happening in my opinion.
For example Tottenham is way better than Roma which is very unstable since the beginning of the season. Same goes for some of the other teams mainly Lazio and Porto.
For Manchester United, I am quite impressed the way they managed to return to the game after being late by a goal just after they scored their first goal. There was like 5 minutes for every team where they totally flipped the score.

All the teams with the best points in the league lost points last night. Manchester United were very lucky to win 3-2 because they were losing for a part of the match.
Hojlund scored two goals and brought Manchester United the victory.
Fenerbahçe beat Slavia Prague, we won with goals from Dzeko and Nesyri, as such, morale started badly by conceding an early goal, Fenerbahçe managed to score goals with organized attacks without giving up the match later on.

This victory is the second victory achieved by Manchester United after the Ten hag dismissal, the match is very crucial considering their previous position which was very bad in the UEL standing,  the match was difficult for Manchester United alhough the opponent they faced was a team that was far below them in quality,  but Amorim managed to prove that they can make a comeback after being left behind with a score  2-1, Amorim has just coached so indeed he still needs time to change Manchester United for the better, with his experience with Sporting of course giving great hope for fans to see their team return to being a respected team later.

Really great game from Roma and I also can't remember the last time I liked Roma's game as much as I did in the match against Tottenham. A draw here for Roma is a positive result even taking into account how many goals Roma didn't score in the second half 2-3 goals. While Roma under Ranieri looks very good, especially after 5 consecutive defeats before Ranieri's arrival, so a draw with Tottenham, who beat Manchester City 4-0 is a great result.

The main thing is that Roma now plays attacking soccer and you can see that the players like it, Dybala as before gives out great passes, just like a few years ago under Mourinho.

What makes you feel it would not work when it has already used it to win Bodoe yesterday. Allow the young man try his strategy to see what will work for him and if it doesn't work, I believe that he would try something new. It was a beautiful come back for United yesterday from one goal down, they were able to equalize the goal on the last minute of the first half and also took the lead five minutes after the second half started.

No matter that Bodoe is a weak team, winning them have boosted United score and took them to 12th position on the table. United scored two early goals in first and second half 

I think there are 2 reasons why the team tied.
Barış Alper and Yunus Akgün were really bad last night.
Barış Alper had a bad performance throughout the season, he played bad in this match as well.
Yunus Akgün normally plays well but he was not good in this match.
Also Batshuayi is definitely not a starting 11 player, this guy should come on in the second half. Last night it was not clear if he was on the pitch or not.
