I found a very interesting illustration about Ten Hag, Man United, in their last match against Porto.

Source: Ten Hag-maguire

this felt so true because of the new that made the rounds earlier that ten hag was likely going to loose his job if he had lost the game against Porto and that against Aston villa tat was played earlier today. he was already loosing the game against Porto when he made a substitution that got Maguire in and he got the ball behind the net when they had a corner kick and that goal turned out the equalizer for Manchester united just what ten hag needed at the moment so he may get a chance.
Though it was widely believed that had FC Porto defeated Manchester United in their UEFA Europa League encounter last weekend, Erik ten Hag would've been sacked but I don't think that's true. My opinion is based on the confidence the Dutchman have on the club's management and how's he's been telling the media that he has a long term plan with the club management which is why he's still getting all the backings he's enjoying at the moment. Even after failing to win at Aston Villa yesterday, he still made statements that suggests that he's still very much in charge so wether Harry Maguire had scored that last minute equalizer at Porto last week or not, I feel Manchester United management would've still retained their club manager

This thought was only a speculation do not let any one deceive concerning the future of Erik Ten hag and the Manchester United team that guy is there to sink the team I believe that is what the management wants him to do. The 3:3 result against Sevilla is enough reason to fire him if that was possible but he's got the surest confidence and that's the painful part of this for me because he is not going to work hard to improve the performance of the team.

Manchester United came from winning 0:2 to begging for a 3:3 draw and against Aston Villa the team played a barren draw and the coach still has the balls to express his confidence in himself and his relationship with the management I guess he is too proud for my liking and he is not going to help the team unless they change their mind and sack him now.

You can't say, but lucky enough, Ten Hag had draws instead of loss matches because if Manchester United had two loss matches at a go, I am not sure whether the Manchester United board would withstand the pressure from fans calling for Ten Hag sack. The pressure would have doubled than it is now, that Manchester United had draws.

In the Manchester United match against Aston Villa, didn't you see that the Manchester United owner, Sir Alex, and some management staff of Manchester United were all present in that match? Do you think that if Manchester United had lost to Aston Villa, they would have pardoned Ten Hag, not be sacked the next day? The draw Manchester United had, was what saved him.

It seems to me that there is no difference between a defeat and a draw, given that the team wins extremely rarely and has few points. Tomorrow the management will decide the fate of Ten Hag and judging by the evasive answer that Radcliffe gave the other day, he will most likely be fired. I'll be very surprised if this doesn't happen.

I believe Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the other Manchester United bosses have made up their mind to stick with Erik Ten Hag no matter what. While I admire their confidence in the Dutchman, it will be delusional to think that ETH is going to do anything different from what he’s doing right now. I saw a clickbait post online today that said Jim Ratcliffe had fired Erik Ten Hag. I wonder when that is going to happen for real.
Speculation about Ten Hag future at Old Trafford is still full of mystery, a series of unsatisfactory results may not be enough to dismiss the Dutch manager. The manager this season has more support from his players, apart from the club top brass. It is clearly difficult to achieve success with a team that has never performed consistently, it seems that this season is no different from the previous season. Manchester United management seems to have not found the right person, so they have no other choice and still have to retain Ten Hag. Sir Jim Ratcliffe said that dismissing Ten Hag is not his authority, although he will most likely be involved in the agreement.

It was a bad day for Turkish teams. Neither team played as we expected, unfortunately we could not win. They actually had stronger squads than their opponents, but they could not play as they should. It is very sad that Galatasaray could not get 3 points from such a team, especially when it has such a good squad. Sometimes player quality is not enough, it is very important for the team to play in harmony and score goals in such critical matches
The blunder was at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half, Galastasaray were unable to maintain their focus in the 40s and they conceded a goal in the first half then in the early second half the same thing happened, Rigas was able to score there quite easily and make Galastasaray catch up, even though they were superior at the beginning of the first half 2-0, but they were unable to maintain it, quite unfortunate.
Compared from other teams that represent Turkey this season in European competitions, of course Galatasaray is the only team that is expected to be able to bring Turkey's name better in the current European competition, but what is expected is inversely proportional to what they get in the current European competition, galatasaray currently has only won one match and one draw, but looking at the match they played in the second match it was clear that there was a weakness in their current defensive line, losing focus at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half actually became a Boomerang for those who were leading 2-0, and RFS who actually had a squad that was bad than them was able to take advantage of that to equalize the score to 2-2 at the end of the match, if Galatasaray continue to do the same in every game they play then maybe they will also be knocked out of the Europa League this season as happened some time ago in the Champions League qualifiers.

And honestly what's disappointing about this match is the result of Roma's match, they lost to a team that was far below them and that makes us disappointed, even though I hoped before Roma could at least win the match in this match.
It can be said that AS Roma was unlucky in that match, because actually their game was not bad, but they could not maximize the opportunities they created. Indeed, from the last few seasons, one of AS Roma's problems lies in their attack line which is not very good at maximizing an opportunity, more opportunities were wasted in almost every match, and that made them have to feel unsatisfactory results.

They made 23 attempts in this match, only 5 of which were on target, it shows that they could not take advantage of their advantage. However, this can happen because their opponents can defend well, even though they are always attacked, they can remain disciplined not to make mistakes.
Having Roma and Youngboys been placed side by side in a comparison is interesting, firstly these two teams before now aren't on equal levels and by that i mean that both team at some had one above the other and now the reverse, before now, young boys wouldn't be a match with Roma as they were a very good and tough side but now they are now a bit below what they used to be and its expected that Roma been in the better position at this time to stay ahead of the but then its football and you can not tell exactly what happens at every point in time just as this case happened, its true that it felt like Roma were unlucky as they couldn't with he game even with all of their best attempts they couldn't get it still but there's still room for improvement.

Elfsborg really played well in that match and they were well aware that they were truly the underdog and they were facing a much better opponent. Therefore they took the initiative to play defensive football, and it seems the strategy worked. Roma looked very frustrated and they couldn't build up neatly because Elfsborg not only defended very well, but their goalkeeper also played impressively in that match.

This is certainly not a good start for Roma because they only got 1 point so far.

I believe Galatasaray will be in top eight, not just because they will do fine for the rest of the games, but no teams are dominating the league phase right now, there are only few teams with two wins. Meaning, if Galatasaray wins four games and lose 2, even that would eb enough.

Tottenham game will be harder to play, definitely harder than RFS no doubt, but on contrary to what people believe, I think the chance of them having a draw against Spurs is likely. Because, Galatasaray didn't care about RFS and they underestimated their opponent, they didn't run, fight or battled, and they failed to win because of this. When they are playing against the Spurs, they will be aware that they are playing against a great team, probably best team in Europa right now, so they will play better.
We will see if the way you have predicted Galatasaray to play against Tottenham Hotspur is the way they will play. I have observed that it is always difficult for Turkish teams to play against English teams, in theory this will give Tottenham Hotspur an edge against Galatasaray however the odds don’t come correct all the time. I also think Tottenham can get a win out of this game but I’m not disputing the fact that it is not going to be so easy.

Bad Juric. A team that doesn't exist and he talks about impressive improvements.
He lost to amateurs and is also happy with his performance. lol
Or maybe Juric feels that Roma is his own like none of the fans expected anything. That's why he doesn't get mad when losing points and gets excited about nonsense.
Juric doesn't have the charisma to manage the players in the current squad.
Nothing has changed, Roma is still a loser.
It seems a bit harsh to say that Roma are still losers from the results of their two matches in the Europa League this season even though both of them have not been won by the Roma team at this time. And for Juric who you think is bad, he can immediately be replaced with a better one because every team must have an evaluation in order to make better changes in the next match. Currently Roma is indeed in a bad position in the standings because they have not been able to win a match from the two matches they have played, but Roma still has a chance to fix it by winning in the upcoming matches because it is still not too late for any team to rise in the Europa League.
Two games played cannot be used to rule out a club from the competition, but the question is will Roma improve in performance or they will be stagnant. If Juric work is able to figure out the problem in Roma and work on it in order to improve the team performance, they might succeed in qualifying to the round of 16 but if the problem persist, and not tackled they will get their ass kicked out of the group stage.

Europa is a competition that big teams cannot boost of winning the league, because a club that you underestimate will come from behind and surprise everyone with unexpected performance that will be like magic in your eyes. I am not counting on any big club to win the league this season.

Crucial minutes such as at the beginning of the match, either in the first and second half or at the end of the match in the first and second half are times when a team might lose focus so that it can be exploited by the opponent and can be an unpleasant result for a team. That's what Galatasaray experienced in this match, yes they were unable to maintain the advantage they could create in the first half. This is a lesson for them that in the future they must be able to focus more until the match really ends. Losing 2 points from a fairly easy match like this is a loss for them, because it threatens their position, especially with a league format like this.
It can happen because some players experience fatigue in the last minutes which makes it quite difficult for them to defend when there is a fast attack towards them, and in the early minutes of the second half they are usually less ready, which makes them lose concentration and that's where the weakness in Galastsaray in this match, it must be disappointing for them.

So far Manchester  united has gotten two points in the Europa even if they are yet to win a game or loose one but its not an encouraging result for a team that had a very high expectancy from people with their chances of wining the league title this season but then it has turned out they aren't even amongst the top ten in the Europa league table and sadly its same back home in their domestic league, I'm beginning to doubt if they will be able  to get pass the round of sixteen or even make it there by the end of the current round so far.
Manchester United have been really poor this season. They have been consistent in their poor performances this season. It has been two seasons under Erik Ten Hag, I expect a much better performance from Manchester United but up till now they are neither playing good football nor winning games comfortably. This is not the standard for a top club like Manchester United, they have drawn two games that they should have won comfortably in the Europa League this season.
Yes you are right there is no good change so far the club under the guidance of Erik Ten Hag but for some reason the club still continues to maintain him, I think Man United's management unlike other management usually if they see the club is not progressing and tends to perform badly they will fire their coach but not with Man United's management they still believe in this coach even though the club is performing badly.
I don't have high expectations for Man United this season just like last season even though they look like a tough club in the Europa League but their performance is actually still inconsistent.

Yes and in an interview Ivan Juric stated as if he had worked very well and did not accept when there was lot of bad talk about AS Roma performance and defeat against team that actually had much lower level than them, but this is ridiculous because defeat is still defeat and of course there will be lot of negative sentiment so they have to be able to accept it.
Whatever is said that they have seen better improvements but in fact the defeat that we all see, improvement and development can be said even though the team lost when playing against bigger team but this was defeat against small team like Elfsborg and AS Roma was unable to turn things around at least to get draw.
Honestly, I much more interested in AS Roma which is still led by De Rossi than the current leadership period which was taken over by Ivan Juric after De Rossi was fired on the grounds of differences of opinion about player transfers with Florent Ghisolfi as AS Roma director.
If it continues like this I doubt AS Roma will be able to play well in the Europa League competition even though previously they were one of the favorite team that had the opportunity to compete for the championship title.

Europa League with new format seems not easy for some of favourite teams because the teams just like Manchester United, Ajax, Roma, Galatasaray, Olympiacos, and Athletic Bilbao still hard struggling in this competition even for the first favourite just like Manchester United still unable to gets the winning result and among all of 36 teams who playing at this competition so far only 5 teams who can able to gets 2 wins

I have to says Europa league matches is so unpredictable this season because although probably on the paper some of big teams is much stronger than small teams but there is no guarantee those teams will be automatically can beat their opponents and it proven until week 2 besides Manchester United some of strong teams just like Sociedad and Roma has been failed to gets the winning result even Roma has just lost from IF Elfsborg

Yes I agree, but I think there isn't this one huge favorite in the competition. All of the teams mentioned do have problems at the moment. Tottenham just lost to Brighton, Manchester United dropped points, Roma is having trouble, Lazio is doing ok, but isn't that good either.

But despite their loss I think Tottenham is among the favorites in the Europa League and at the end of the day it is not the Premier League and teams that have been doing so so in the domestic league have won the Europa League in the past. Best example here is of course Sevilla when they were struggling hard in La Liga and yet won the Europa League title despite playing against some of the best teams.

I found a very interesting illustration about Ten Hag, Man United, in their last match against Porto.

Source: Ten Hag-maguire

this felt so true because of the new that made the rounds earlier that ten hag was likely going to loose his job if he had lost the game against Porto and that against Aston villa tat was played earlier today. he was already loosing the game against Porto when he made a substitution that got Maguire in and he got the ball behind the net when they had a corner kick and that goal turned out the equalizer for Manchester united just what ten hag needed at the moment so he may get a chance.
