Topic: UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season - page 19. (Read 37914 times)

I still feel amazed by the results from Manchester United at some point in the Europa competition,  maybe they have got plans of winning the title  and have been working towards it because they are definitely finishing top four after not loosing a single game through the group stage, their strength will really be tested further after  they must have faced their equals who would have made it beyond the group stage just like they did , maybe then we could get to ascertain properly if they will be able to make it to top title contender this season. Lazio at the top of the table actually have totally be one of the shocks of the europa this season as they have not been in this position in the europa for quite a long time.

Roma's defeat yesterday against AZ did not surprise us even though it was actually a surprise. Because Roma is indeed in a performance that is difficult to predict. And actually in the current position, the last 2 matches are very important to maintain its position to be safer in the play-off position. Or at least ending in a draw is one of the good results for Roma. However, if in the last match in the group stage, Roma fails to get full points over Frankfurt, I am sure Roma will fail to get the chance to compete in the play-off round. Because I am sure the team below Roma will shift Roma's position in the last match later.

Roma tried there very best in yesterday game but it wasn't just there day as they couldn't get a goal. Roma dominated the whole game and had almost twice as the possession of their opponent. Z Alkmaar had only one shot on target and turned it into a goal for them at the 80th minute. Despite losing yesterday game, Roma still has a chance to qualify for the playoff round that'll qualify them for the round of 16 when they play against Frankfurt as Frankfurt has already qualified for the round of 16 therefore they mightn't take this game very serious. The point doesn't mean much for them but it'll mean the world to Roma therefore I think they'll get all three points.

They could not have played better because they played just fine, on the contrary it was their opponents who did well to prevent themselves from scoring more than two goals, although the potential for this was huge. Manchester United were vastly outclassed by their opponents, although they got shots towards their goal quite often. In any case, MU have a very safe place in the standings now, they have nothing to worry about

I have carefully studied Manchester United under their new coach Reuben Amorim and I have discovered that Manchester United is actually making some progress even if it is not so obvious.

Before we look at the current playing style of Manchester United, we should acknowledge that individually these guys are doing great. For instance, in some matches Amad will single-handedly deliver Manchester United. In majority other matches you will see Bruno fernandes being the man all over the field. Harry Maguire is no longer a flop and Martinez is seriously banging assists. This is a clear sign of individual improvement.

Now that individual are being so great, it only takes one click for the whole team to start doing good again. Amorim is able to improve thes players individually, I believe that he is working towards using them to build a formidable team. So, Manchester United will surely be great again.

It is really a big setback to Manchester United as Amorim has not been able to bring in their best form and to help them position well in the premier league since his appointment. His domestic league performance has been so poor that one may not expect to see the best in him in the Europa League competition. I think he’ll still be given some benefits till next season before the board can even sit and talk about sacking him. They had to pay a huge sum of money to Sporting Lisbon to allow him to join them in Manchester United this season. I still don’t know what the problem with Manchester United is. Maybe they need to visit the market to get some players and make some adjustments to their squad lineups. Until then, I don’t see them in a position to win the Europa League title, not this season with this their performance.

Fenerbahce played a very limited game in 90 minutes, the chances were extremely limited. The draw could be considered a good result because Lyon was more productive in scoring goals, it is very difficult to say the same for Fenerbahce.
The connection between the defense and the midfield was very distant, I think Mourinho's worst game plan so far was in this match.
Fenerbahce should normally be the better team. They were a team that could not show any presence on the field.

We played close to perfection. There are very few teams in the whole of Europe that can score 4 goals against Athletic Bilbao in a game. We were no different from these elite teams. We had already beaten Lyon away before. We beat the 2 big favorites of the cup and against Eintracht Frankfurt, another favorite, we were the better side, even though we lost. Despite that we are still in 24th place because we didn't take points from weaker opponents. I hope we can get points from Twente in the last game and move on. Beşiktaş definitely needs to play in the play-offs and make it there. They deserve it.

I do not know where you got that chart from, but that is not the rankings, Olympiacos is seen at 8th, when they are 12th for example, and there are some other mistakes too if you just compare it. While I understand some teams which are lower right now, could have better chances than teams that are higher, which all makes sense because if you are facing an easier team, and the other is facing a harder team, then even if you are lower then you have a higher chance.

However, I would say it would be better to keep the ranking as it is, and then give odds accordingly on the side. In the end, we are going to see how the league will shape up after the game, and I feel like finishing 7-8-9-10 have a great chance to move forward, because you are not facing big teams, you are facing teams around you, which makes better chances for all the teams, and most will achieve for that.

Honestly, I was not really happy with Roma yesterday because I was not expecting them to lose that match to AZ Alkmaar. I was expecting them to either win or draw the match, not knowing they wouldn't even manage a draw. I bet on Roma to win or draw the match on one ticket, and on the other ticket, I just needed them to score one goal, but they failed to even score that one goal.

Honestly, Roma's performances this season are not impressive at all, both in their domestic league and in their Europa competition. If they had even let Mourinho continue coaching Roma, I don't think it would be worse for them than it is now. With how they are playing, it is clear they will not qualify for the next round. Even in their domestic league, they need to put in more effort; otherwise, they will not qualify for any European competition next season. Because Currently, they are in 9th position on the Serie A table and they competition have already in half of the season.

It's worse than your post suggests. Have a look at the scorer list in the Premier League and you will see that no Manchester United player is to be found among the first 10. The first player is Diallo as 15th with 6 goals and 6 assists. Then Fernandes is 16th with 5 goals and 6 assists and then the next Manchester United player is, really I should make this a quiz, you won't believe it: Marcus Rashford as 76th player in the Premier League with 4 goals and 1 assist.

It is no wonder that they are where they are and it is rather unexpected that the haven't lost a game in the Europa League yet and will advance to the next round without having to go through the playoffs. Manchester United is officially no more than an average Premier League team. These numbers more than confirm that.

Roma has 6 forward players total this season although Artem Dovbyk performance is decline compared to when he was still playing for Girona but at least Artem Dovbyk is much better rather than other forward players because for Serie A matches Artem Dovbyk is Roma top scorer and in Europa League too Artem Dovbyk can scores 2 goals from 7 matches although these records is not really good but at least Roma still can rely on him for each matches to scores

Speaking about Roma chances in this competition the transition changing coaches several times makes Roma performance still unstable it proven from their latest match because Roma lost from AZ Alkmaar and Roma last match is they will fight against Frankfurt which this is hard for them because i can say Frankfurt can be categorized as strong team in this competition and i feel like Roma will be lost from this match

I don't think Manchester United has any chance of finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League table. Manchester United is the 13th team in the points table. And Manchester United is 14 points behind Chelsea, who are in the fourth place in the table. So Manchester United has no chance of finishing in the top 4/5 of the table.

However, Manchester United has a chance of winning the Europa League title. However, I think Manchester United is in the form they are in now, unless they improve, it is not possible for Manchester United to win the Europa League title. We can see some improvement in Manchester United's performance after the change of coach. However, Manchester United's overall performance is still erratic. I am waiting to see what changes Amorim makes to his squad in the winter transfer window.

I like your view, when Man Utd has no hope in the Premier League then the Europa League is the only way to achieve that target, it is not easy because in this competition they meet teams from outside leagues, but if we compare the Premier League competition is much more difficult so I think in this Europa League Man Utd still has a big chance with the note that Amorim ensures that his team performance will be much better.
Currently Man Utd is certain to qualify for R16 considering that the last opponent is quite easy to overcome.

I would say that Artem Dovbyk is a good enough player. But Roma is not able to use Artem Dovbyk properly. I will not blame Artem Dovbyk. Roma's overall performance is quite weak this season. Roma's match strategy is not good. Also, there are many weaknesses in the midfield. Perhaps this is why Roma is not getting better performance from Artem Dovbyk.

Last season, Artem Dovbyk performed well with Girona. Artem Dovbyk was able to score 24 goals and 8 assists in 36 matches. This season, Artem Dovbyk has scored 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 matches with Roma. However, another reason for Roma's irregular performance is their weak defense. I think that if the defense was stronger, Roma's performance would have been stable.

Manchester United fans should be pleased because they won their match and are not in a horrible situation that will prevent them from progressing to the next round. Rangers are successful since they are now in second place in the league competition. It's simply that Manchester City has better and more experienced players than them. Rangers performed admirably because they wanted the game to end in a tie since they were unable to defeat Manchester United because they had played them since the first half. And based on how I felt during the first half, I feel they will win. Amorim is doing fine; he only needs to try and get some fresh blood in the team strikers and defenders. that is only the problem about man-u this season. some are even saying the goalkeeper is  not doing well Onana too.  

Manchester United should maintain their strong performance in the Europa League, as that is the only prize I believe they can win this season. They will not win the Premier League, and the FA Cup will be a difficult game for them since they are still one of the toughest clubs in the competition, and based on how they have performed in other competitions, I do not believe they will be able to defeat them in the cup. Amorim is currently in his greatest form for the club, and he should continue to do so He can probably win trophies for the club before the end of the season.

They Roma bought players based on media statistics, even though Lukaku was quite good with them last season but their choice fell on Dovbyk even though this player often wastes opportunities and in the match against Az Alkamaar Dvbyk only had one shot the rest and he only had 4 touches in one half, this indicates that Dovbyk is a failed player who was bought by Roma at a high price, this defeat also makes it difficult for them to survive in the Europa League and I think they will be eliminated quickly no one can help Roma after the karma they did to Mourinho and also Lukaku. Their last match in the Europa League will face Frankfurt this is very difficult for them to qualify Frankfurt is a team that has developed well this season and Roma is a team that has high chaos I think this difficult situation they will face for quite a long time.

Manchester united did well to some extent and got lucky too to secure a winner in yesterday's match. The wingers are promising with Amad giving the rangers defenders lots of trouble, Garnacho still needs some maturity in his play pattern, he's talented, but his delivery is still somewhat premature. The only issue with the team is that they are a bit weak in the midfield, so far, Bruno is the only person very active in their midfield, the others need to step up. Rangers came to get a draw at least, but were unlucky it didn't work out for them, so the united team has the advantage. I still am of the opinion that this GK is better than Onana and should be tried at premier league matches.

Tottenham totally destroyed Hoffenheim from away, Son's display was a masterclass and his second goal and third for team totally distabilized the home team and took out the fight in them. I loved their confidence and excellent delivery in the match. Another three points coming to England. Congratulations to them.

I don’t even know why some Manchester United fans are just happy that they won against Rangers, the match is supposed to be an easy win for Manchester United. Rangers is not a team that's even supposed to give Manchester United a difficult moment, but we all saw how they struggled before they could get a win in the match, they were just lucky in the match, it would have ended as a draw, but they were able to score during the extra time of the match.

If Manchester United played against a strong opponent, then there is no way they won’t be losing the match. With the way Manchester United played in the match, they performed below my expectation. I was expecting a better performance from them, but I was not impressed with the way they played in the match.

In the past, yes, United was a strong team. But now United is a less consistent team.
What Amorim is doing right now in the Europa League is quite good. In addition to their results in the Premier League, United also performed quite impressively by being undefeated in 7 matches. Don't expect too much from United right now, they are not strong and inconsistent.
There is still one more match left for the qualifying round. Amorim still has to work hard on the tactics that will be used later. I don't think their opponents are weaker.
