Qarabag is a club that nearly eliminated Leverkusen in Europa League last season by leading 2 - 0 against Leverkusen before letting Leverkusen to equalize it. Things can change after one season and Qarabag can be weaker now but if Tottenham can beat Qarabag with this big result and with only 10 players, it's very impressive.

Tottenham quality is for Champions League, not for Europa League but last season, they did not play well enough to end in top four of Premier League and have to join Europa League 2024 - 2025 season. This big can be explained by good quality of Tottenham, but as said win big with 10 players since 7th minute is very impressive performance.

You are not the only person who saw this but Manchester United owner saw something different. It's lucky for Ten Hag but he will not be given permanent opportunity and job in Manchester United. The club owner will make a sack decision and find a new coach if Ten Hag continues with bad performances. To save his job, he must improve Manchester United and show it with better results.

No matter how long Ten Hag is giving the chance to improve United for a better performance, the team will still remain the same because Ten Hag has nothing in his head to offer to the club in order for them to become consistent with winning matches. HOW CAN A COACH WIN MATCHES WITHIUT A GAME Strategy or pattern. Which means the players are sent to the field to try their luck to see f they can win their matches, and this is why you see that the players do get confused and play anyhow whenever they are with the ball because they don't know what to do next.


Manchester players are trying to have Ten Hag as their coach because he is making things more difficult by trying different strategy in different matches without mastering any of them. However, the players are not also creative when they are with the ball and that is why they are finding it difficult to score their opponents when they have a good chance of scoring. I hope and look forward to the sack of Ten Hag if United want to become successful in future.

Such a big defeat! I also never saw it coming honestly. Because Beşiktaş were doing pretty good. Especially thanks to the new transfers like Rafa Silva and Immobile, they have been a big threat to their competitors. However it didn't last long. Ajax were actually having one of their most problematic time periods for a while. I can't say they were still back in their best shape. But here we are...  

It is sad to see Beşiktaş not even being able to score 1 goal. I really wonder what happened. The players lost their motivation very quickly and they conceded easy goals. They need to improve their mental otherwise achieving success would be difficult here.

Lol at Tottenham casually leading 3-0 against Qarabag despite playing with 10 players pretty much from the start. This just shows how big is the gap between the Premier league and wherever the Qarabag is from.

I think Tottenham has big potential to win the whole thing this season.

Ajax Vs Besiktas looked like a potentially interesting and fierce game but turned out to be more of a one-sided show, with Ajax winning easily 4-0. Perhaps Besiktas just don't take the Europa League too seriously and want to focus on the league.

Beşiktaş had a very bad result tonight, I think they played well in the first half but they played very badly in the second half and lost the match 4-0.
Beşiktaş started the match with a very bad starting 11, I don't understand with what logic they started with such a squad. Why was Immobile a substitute?
A bad result.

Ajax 4-0 Besiktas (full time)

I'm quite surprised that Ajax can totally destroy Besiktas. They can play in an effective way, they could make 17 shots (9 shots on target) although they didn't win the ball possession. Meanwhile Besiktas only could make 6 shots (0 shot on target). It means Besiktas having no chance to make a goal in the match. I can't believe that Ajax has a really strong defense. I assume Ajax can be the candidate to reach the final round.

Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag (on going)

FYI, Tottenham played with 10 players since minute 7'. Radu got a red card in a very early of the match. Surprisingly, Tottenham still can lead with 2 goals until now. They even won the ball possession with 10 players only. Tottenham really shows their quality in this match. They don't care whether they play with less of 11 player.

Most people expected a win from Manchester United in the match. Even after ending the first half with 1-0, I was just thinking Manchester United will come back stronger in the second half of the match, and score more goals.  If I will be honest with you, even after Twente equalized in the second half of the match, I was still having confidence in Manchester United to win the match because I never expected Manchester United to draw a match like that. I was thinking it’s going to be an easy win for Manchester United, but things didn’t just go well for Manchester United.

I don't think Marcus Rashford is all of Manchester United problem. Even if they replace Rashford with another player, I don't think the team will still win the Premier League or any tough competition like that. The problem with Manchester United is with the head coach and the entire Manchester United management. If not, why is it that a team with this kind of great players in the squad is still struggling to win matches? All the players in Manchester United seem to not be performing up to their expectations, but people are just focusing on Rashford.There are many attackers in Manchester United who have spoiled a lot of chances to score, so I don't think it's a good idea to say Rashford is the problem with Manchester United. This is similar to what some people were saying when Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United before moving to the Saudi Arabian league."


People are not crediting Manchester United, even when they perform well, because that is not the level of performance they expect from a team like Manchester United. If Manchester United can be consistent in their performances for a while, I believe that even if they mess up in one or two matches, after they have shown long-term consistency, people will hardly blame them much. But I don't understand why people start crediting them after one match, and then in the next one, they mess up again. In their last match against Twente, I know that Manchester United played well, but the performance was less than what people were expecting.

I believe that United not winning isn't as big of a deal as people think. While it's true that they are not doing good this season and didn't do great last season, it's just one game and they could still recover from that. They started the season a bit bad, because they lost players that was in their plan, so they had to adjust and that's their problem, even Real Madrid with a billion dollar squad ended up with draws, and last alaves game was obviously way too close.

So, I think if they recover from here on out and do better then I think it will be fine, but if they end up with a bad result then they will not be good at all. It's clear that we are going to see some things changing for them because they can't keep playing like this.

Fenerbahçe were not very good tonight, they did not play a game that would satisfy the audience, they were lucky to win. It was very important for Fenerbahçe to get three points in their first match. En-Nesyri seemed very inadequate in attack, in my opinion there are better alternative players to replace him, in fact.

I did not watch the Beşiktaş match, there is still a match going on right now. When I looked at the score, I was really upset, when I saw 4-0, I did not understand how Ajax gained such an advantage, because Beşiktaş was not bad this season.

If Manchester United can back Ole Gunnar the way they have been backing Eric Ten Hag in the transfer window, I will suggest they should go back for him. Ole Gunnar really achieved for Manchester United as their head coach during his time at Manchester United. The problem he had was that he didn't receive the kind of backing that Ten Hag is currently enjoying at Manchester United and he wasn't given the amount of time that Ten Hag has been given so far at Manchester United. Take it or leave it, Manchester United was far better under the leadership of Ole Gunnar. Wether the rumours are true or not, one thing is certain and that is Ten Hag time as Manchester United coach is up and if Manchester United decides to keep him further, they should not expect any progress anytime soon.

fenerbahce was really impressive in the first half but in the second half of the game they became so reluctant and if not for the Red card that the Union St.Gilloise player had, the match could have possibly ended in a draw but the red card brought more pressure to the Union St.Gilloise players and they conceded an own goal. Though Fenerbahce player Osayi-Samuel also got a red card but it didn't affect Fenerbahce because they were already in the die minutes as Union St.Gilloise only managed to score one goal and the match ended 2;1. Youssef En-Nesyri actually missed some opportunities but it's good to see Mourinho's men win their first game of the Europa competition.

Fenerbahçe won the match. But can we say they played well? I don't think so.

They won this match, partly thanks to their luck, despite having a much stronger squad than their opponent. If they play like this, they may not be able to win matches against other teams. I think the game was pretty bad, such a squad should have been much better at passing and finding attacking positions. Still, I'm glad they won the match

I think Fenerbahçe is lucky to get 3 points tonight. Fenerbahçe played very badly, I didn't like it at all, if they continue like this, nothing will happen.
There was an unnecessary penalty and a red card in the last minutes. I wish success to Fenerbahçe friends, I hope they don't get cancer this year.

Beşiktaş is playing well but they are currently 1-0 behind, I hope they score in the second half and at worst they draw.
Kian Fitz-Jim is a young talent, he scored the only goal for Ajax, he is a player to watch.

                                                  Roma 1-0 Atletic

It is quite interesting to see that Roma was able to dominate this match and also won possession in the first half over Atletic. Dovbyk managed to score a clean goal on the 32 minutes with a brilliant header after Angelino gave him a cross which he was able finish brilliantly. I underestimated Roma in this match but to my surprise they played better than Atletic in the first have and Dovbyk goal made the difference.

The second half is what will judge if Roma will be able to get all three points if hey can keep up to their performance in the first half and that will be if Atletic performance didn't improve in this second half. If Roma wins this match, it means that De Rossi was the problem of the club. However, Roma needs to be consistent before I will make my conclusion.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United was leading 1-0. The players of Twente played a very defensive strategy. On the other hand, the players of Manchester United also played very carefully in the first half. So I thought Manchester United would probably win the match 1-0. But Manchester United failed to win the home match till the end. The match was drawn 1-1.

I would say Manchester United team definitely lost because of their poor match strategy. They should have kept the defense tight. Twente's players would not have scored in this match if Manchester United's defense had been strong. Because Twente's forward players are not in good form this season. However, I would have been very happy if the Manchester United management had sacked Ten Hag. I am very upset to see such erratic and poor performances from Manchester United.

The match is almost over in the first half and we see that FCSB won the match temporarily with 2-1 points because Marius added a goal in the second 32nd minute and they lead the match very well, and the more time goes by they are more and more brave to play the ball and make RFS exhausted, your prediction is correct.

Ajax got goal 1 and won the match in the first half, and we will wait for the second half how Ajax can continue to get goals before they are overtaken by Besiktas, both are quite hard and competitive, it seems that if ajax can maintain its points it is likely to get a victory and will not share points for this first match.

Manchester United will still do what they are mostly known for, if not no one was expecting them to lose that game yesterday, but it is just as you said that they will always be them and make people just lose games, although I take it as a very great risk to even bet on Manchester United because they will definitely make you cry and it will hurt. The best for them is to build up their performance.
 
To be sincere, I don’t think Erik Ten Hag can do that, because the action that is even showing to the players is not even encouraging. Even though he is their coach and he has all right to see their faults on the game, he was not supposed to bring that to the media, but he did, and this will not make them get more serious, but it will make them weak because they will think he is not in their support, so I think it will be a nice idea for the management to sack him.

I don't know why United problem is still not sloved yet because why is it that they will be leading in a match and they will not be able to defend their goal but rather make expensive mistakes that will make their opponents equalize the goal or win them. I was not happy at all yesterday because it ssems that these players and the manager are not serious to win trophies and qualify for UCL to keep the prestige of the club. Buying of those players for Ten Hag didn't solve the problem on ground.

Luck is still on Fenerbahce side, own goal helped them win the match I can't imagine if the match had more time maybe Saint Gilloise could have equalized the score because based on statistics they continue to attack. For the first match Fenerbahce is still safe but in the second match when playing away against Twente I think they have to be more careful because Twente has a good record and has a solid defense especially when playing at home of course they have other advantages.
