Topic: UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season - page 28. (Read 39494 times)

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.

That is the most realistic target that Man United could possibly achieve this season, as their chances in the Premier League are certainly very tough, as are the FA Cup (Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Nottingham Forest are much harder to beat than the teams in the Europa League). Their defense line is not good yet, but I think it is still better than last season, especially if Amorim is willing to give Altay Bayindir more opportunities. The biggest problem now is not the defense line, but their two strikers who are having difficulty scoring goals. If Amorim can find a solution in this January transfer window (getting a clinical striker even if he has to sell Hojlund and Zirkzee at the same time), I think winning the Europa League is a reasonable target.

In this match, most of the time, Manchester United players moved towards attack, where each player performed well. But as a strong team, Manchester United should have performed better, because Manchester United fans were sure that they would win this match, so they bet on Manchester United.
 Rangers team performed well for a long time and made 10 attacks in the whole match, and the opposing team Manchester United made 16 attacks. In this case, Manchester United team achieved success in the last time, Fernandez played the most role in helping the team win by scoring the goal with his magic foot.

You are actually right but the truth is every league has their own pattern and the clubs also have their way and method of play just as Manchester united has their own way and pattern of play and to me I think English league is more stronger than Scottish league that's why Manchester united can not be compared with them but yesterday, Manchester united winning was a narrow escape for them because the game almost end draw if not for the long cross that Bruno Fernandes converted to goal at the added time and they deserve the win because they played more than Rangers and the Rangers goal was a foul ball because the guy pushed Henry Maguire and lastly I think Manchester united should improve.

It is actually a fair policy where the management gives Amorim a free chance and does not ask him to give very satisfying results so quickly. However, it does not mean that Amorim does not have to do anything if he wants to be maintained, at least he can give something positive for the development of Manchester United's game.
I am also sure that the management is not that careless not to target anything in his first season, it's just that maybe he is given a little more opportunity if this season he fails to achieve what is expected.
I think that is more reasonable, yes, although actually no one does not want their team to rise very quickly.

Jose Mourinho is unarguably my favorite football manager but my undying love for the Portuguese manager will not hinder me from criticizing him whenever I think he should be criticized. When Fenerbahce appointment him as the club manager last year summer, I was rooting for him to go to Turkey and improve the performance of the club as well as make them more competitive than they've been in recent years but to my surprise, he's failed to live up to expectations. 9 points in 7 UEFA Europa League games this season I think is a very disappointing performance for Fenerbahce but what's even more disappointing if you ask me is how they dominated their game against Lyon last night but still failed to find the back of the net.

The appointment of the goalkeeper, I think it's true. Bayindir performed well in this fight and it was not wrong if Amorim needs to give more confidence to Bayindir than continuously making Onana in all competitions as did by the coach before Amorim.
If I pay attention, Bayindir has been played several times by Amorim, while while still not Amorim, Bayindir often spends time as a player in the bench.

I think the player overhaul of the front lines must be searched for a new one. The front players are now like Zirczee not functioning like the players needed because the final settlement as an attacker does not exist.
Onana, Maguire, Casemiro needs to be considered for sale.

Why're you still surprising bookies favored Porto instead of Maccabi? Porto has better stats as reflected in the picture above, and i knew you might be concerning about an away game in the last round.

I think away game should not be a problem for Porto consider they're a bit better in term of squad quality.  Honestly, i also retain myself to take a bet in this game.
