I think I'm really starting to like the new system . Although it felt strange at first, having each team play against seven different teams has made team choices more fun and has also made it easier for surprise teams to advance to the next rounds. Even though three matches have been played, we still can't say for sure that any team will 'definitely qualify' or 'definitely be eliminated.' This makes both watching the games and betting more enjoyable.

When we look at the current standings, we get an idea of the top 8, but it will probably change completely after the next 5 matches. The last game of the group stage will be played at the end of January, and I’d like to leave a prediction (or maybe just a note) for that time already.



When we take a look at the current standings, I think a few of these teams are only here temporarily. Lazio, Tottenham, Ajax, and Galatasaray are teams that are here now and that I believe will still be here when the group stage ends. Outside of this list;



Actually, I don't have a thought like 'this team will probably finish in the top 8' about any team. But that’s what makes this system great. I remember making a ranking prediction for each group in the old system, and two of my group predictions ended up exactly as I guessed. Right now, I think making predictions would require a very deep analysis. Do you have a top 8?

This is precisely the 3rd time they have drawn in the Europa League this season from the 3 matches they have played, it is a very unsatisfactory record achieved by Manchester United. Honestly, I am confused to say whether in this match Manchester United played well so they could hold Fenerbahce to a draw, or Fenerbahce played well so they were able to hold Manchester United to a draw. Because from the beginning, in fact, in the match there were big questions about Manchester United's performance, even though they have a bigger name than Fenerbahce, but in terms of their game they were not that good.

The match ended in a draw where Manchester United were unable to dominate the game because Fenerbahçe played very solidly and were able to match Manchester United. This is the second time Manchester United have drawn in the Europa League and previously they were also held to a draw by Porto. I think Manchester United’s condition now is not good because it looks like the form of play they are showing is not consistent. The next two games in the Europa League will be much easier and it should be an opportunity for Manchester United to get full points.

Recently I saw in a new that Manchester United is linked with some xabi deals but I have not confirmed it just yet but I'm hoping it's true, currently I believe he will be a good replacement for Manchester United seeing how well he did managed Barcelona throughout his stay at Barca, Manchester United have not showed signs of sacking their coach just yet so I cannot tell the explanation behind rhe recent coach scout, maybe he will be sacked by the end of the season if they eventually get a better replacement by then. It's funny how some persons away from the management still see him as a good coach but still needs time.

Are they not getting a terrible result yet? They have played three matches in Europa League, and haven’t been able to win any match, that’s embarrassing. Manchester United performances have been so poor since last season, they have been playing so poorly in both the Premier League and Europa League. From the way Manchester United are playing currently, I think Ten Hag doesn’t even know how to solve the current Manchester United problem, they just have to let him go and get a coach that can fix Manchester United. Ten Hag was given money to sign some players, which he did, but there is no changes in Manchester United’s performance,  he prefers to even make use of the players that have been in the club since than the players that he just signed recently.

Having a coach like Erik Ten Hag is very Frustrating. We don't even know when our next win will be.
He tried but United is just too big for him to be honest.
And no one in any job would still be employed if they made things worse in three years. The situation is quite tense, It raises questions about the club's direction. I hope the Board can find a resolution supporting the team's success.

Come on guys, let's not blame a particular player but let's look deeper into what is happening.
This is certainly not a curse but logically if it was a curse, he would not be a scoring machine. And the fact is he continues to perform perfectly giving a good contribution to the tik.
The problem at the moment is not about Harry Kane but Munich defense is very bad which is known by the opponent and will definitely concede.

I would say Kane is not there anymore, so they may have a chance actually lol. They are going three out of three so far, and while I agree, they will be one of the top teams in the group stages and go ahead and could still lose when its playoff structure or knockout structure whatever that bracket is called.

I also think they could also win, there is no reason for them to lose this season, they are better than all the other teams and they have a chance. Don't get me wrong, I am not here claiming they are going to win, of course they could lose, there is absolutely no way of knowing what's going to happen, but I wouldn't see it %100 either side, anything could happen and that is what we should be guessing for them.

All the other teams have smaller chance of winning, they may end up losing and I can see why that would happen, but that doesn't mean we are going to end up with anything bad at all. We should be considering how this could be a different situation, we should be considering this as what could happen. I believe we are going to end up with Tottenham to be a leading candidate for a long time. What I need to see is if there are any other teams that looks unusually good.

I expected that Fenerbahçe football team will play well in this match and they will easily win this match but that was not possible and we saw tough match for both teams . If we will compare the the stats of both teams then we can't say that any team was favorite for that match.  The pass accuracy of Fenerbahçe team was 85 percent but that of Man united was 84 percent. The passes of Fenerbahçe team were 485 and the passes of Manchester United team were 459 . Mean to say the difference was very small and that why we didn't see any result of that match.The result of that match was draw and we should give credit to players of Manchester United to give tough time in this match.

Well, they can always compete, but that's just to compete, while to become champions in reality they can't do it. There is even a narrative where Harry Kane became a curse when he went to the Bundesliga and there he failed to bring his club to become champions, even though previously his club was the defending champion for more than a decade. Tottenham can't continue like this, because they are actually very capable of winning the title. We'll see this season whether they can become champions or not, because looking at what they are showing now, their chances should be even greater. Or maybe the conversation about them will be even longer if they fail again this season.

And this is what I find even more interesting, because I know that at the time when Mou was in La Liga as Madrid coach he was in constant conflict with Pep Guardiola, even in public one day they offended each other by saying vulgar jokes, they both knew each other very well, but I think that Mou is much more specific in studying his rival and finding their weaknesses, so I wouldn't trust him too much if it were MU, plus as the competition goes on things get more difficult, that's why I think that with a coach like Mou I would have to play with extreme care.

Manchester United have recorded exactly the same statistics as Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, in many ways the two teams are clearly very different, especially in terms of squad depth and the market value of the players in each team. However, in terms of fate, Manchester United and Viktoria Plzen are on the same line.
Before the Europa League started, The Red Devils were very favored, especially when Ten Hag was so active in the transfer market. But what is happening now, the ups and downs of performance continue to come to them, and Manchester United consistently swallow draws. Automatically their chances of winning the trophy are getting lower, and it seems they will have difficulty finishing in the top 8 of the standings.
Lazio, Tottenham, Anderlecht started the three matches perfectly, they look more reliable than Manchester United. We realize that Ten Hag's chances of leading his team to the Europa League final this season are still open, but in my opinion their chances are getting thinner by the day.

Ten Hag lost more opportunities, losing his ability, losing his integrity, losing his authority because he could not maintain Man United, too long maintaining it is a dangerous action, because like gambling in a box that has no contents.

But we don't know what is in the mind of Man United's management, whether they don't see the situation getting worse, whether they don't see that they lose their clubs slowly, Man United becomes a team that is often launched, very unfortunate if this season does not get anything to store in their trophy cabinet.

It's been so many months since we keep saying Ten Hag will be sacked  and yet he is still with United so I will believe it when it happens. Also , who can replace him right now ? no one really wants to take United coach in the current state of this team so maybe just wait for this year to end in order to have better chances for a better signing coach ? this should be a better variant that sacking him in winter.

But the fact is that Ten Hag does not want to be blamed for everything, instead he defends himself if MU's performance declines because many of their players are injured, a coach who does not want to be criticized for mistakes is a coach who cannot take responsibility, he cannot evaluate his team's mistakes and instead plunges his team further into the abyss.

Manchester United have not won in their first 3 matches in the EUL, they have always drawn in a row which requires their position in the standings to get worse. In a club situation like this, retaining Ten Hag is a big mistake made by management, finding a replacement is the most appropriate option to save the club from the victory crisis.
Since the management appointed him as coach, he has only been able to give Man United one win from the last 11 matches in European competitions.

Manchester United failed to win this European League match against Fenerbahçe, but at least they didn't drop points. Manchester United was performing in the English Premier League and I thought Manchester United might lose points in this match of the European League. However, Manchester United should have earned full points in this match. Manchester United managed to score a goal early in the game and 3 points could have gone in their favor if they had played more attacking football and defended their defense against Fenerbahçe later on. However, Manchester United fans may not be unhappy with the result because their team has performed so much that it is a big deal for Manchester United fans.

Sooner or later we will surely hear about Erik Ten Hag's dismissal at Manchester United and in my local media there have been some news about who are the candidates who will replace him and they are considered better than Erik Ten Hag. However, this news is not completely valid regarding its certainty because in fact the news about Erik Ten Hag's dismissal has been circulating for a long time but the club's top brass are still defending him until now, but if bad results continue to occur, there is no reason to continue to maintain it, precisely what will happen is that fans will increasingly criticize Man United.

I am speechless on why Ten Hag is still in Old Trafford, when Manchester united management is seeing everything happening before their own eyes, and they fold their hands doing nothing. Maybe, he has being very loyal to them and they control him on what to do, which he obeys. This can also be another reason why they are hoping that he will be able to succeed in improving the team's performance before the end of the season. If not, why are they not feeling bad and do the needful for the club.

I am even more surprised at the team management who still maintain Ten Hag as coach when they have seen for themselves the condition of the Manchester United team which continues to slump without any effort to rise at all in every match. Before the match with Fenerbahce, I also thought that Manchester United could win at Fenerbahce's home ground, but in reality it ended in a draw and that shows that Manchester United's performance itself has not improved at all under Ten Hag's hands this season in any competition.
