Let not mixed things up here about Manchester United. They were able to finished in a reasonable position in the Europa league simply because they haven't faced any strong opponent yet. Let be realistic here, can they really be proud of their performance yesterday against FCSB? Did you see how they struggle against an unknown club? The fact that they finished amongst the top and qualified doesn't mean they are really playing good games at the moment. I'm scared they might not be able to go far in this round because they will be facing more stronger team and continue with this awful performance will eventually get them eliminated. That yesterday victory was totally not convincing at all considering how incompatible they were against the team they played against.

European League is different from the domestic league. Then, every team that plays in the European League cannot be said to be a weak team even though the European League rating is under the Champions League and it still cannot be considered that the European League is not a good league.
Manchester United appeared inconsistent in his domestic league, but faced a team that competed in the European League, Manchester United achieved the expected results.

What I want to say, every team faced by Manchester United in the European League is all the great teams in their respective domestic leagues such as Rangers and Porto.
It could be what you said about Manchester United's journey in the European League.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Man United performed quite well in the Europa League not having a defeat only 3 times the series was quite good than other teams but still their problems in the Premier league still cannot be determined while up to here Man United has qualified enough with Spurs.

Although in the Premier League does not have a long hope while in this tournament Man United can be able to chase the trophy even though it is a bit heavy, but I think Amorin can go further in this tournament.

Fenerbahçe has been playing like this since the beginning of the season. The reason why the fans don't object is because they are winning. Fenerbahçe hasn't been playing well since the beginning of the league. I don't think they can win all the time with this bad play.

Galatasaray was playing well but they have been playing very badly for the last 4-5 weeks and we are seeing the results.
Both teams need to improve their play.

Fenerbahce is an average team for the Europa League, but they have Mourinho, who has a lot of experience in European Cups and this can help them. The group stage was difficult for them, but now the most important thing is that they made it to the playoffs, it is not so important that they missed the victory with Midtjylland in the last minutes, and ended up in only 24th place. Mourinho believes that Fenerbahce can achieve good results in the Europa League, but I think that for this they need to strengthen the team.

Roma played a magnificent game by beating the Eintracht 2-0, it was a beautiful game, I went to see it at the stadium and I must say that it was a game without exclusion of shots, a fantastic match, so they qualified for Painoffs which is excellent for a team that is not doing very well in the championship, obviously I had bet on the victory, force always Rome

Frankfurt itself also did not lose much when it lost badly to Roma in the match because Frankfurt was also able to qualify for the last 16 without having to go through the play-off round in the Europa League this season. And actually I was also impressed with Roma's performance at home, but that was still not enough for him because Roma also still needed more developed tactical input in the next round in order to advance to the last 16 in the Europa League. In addition, in the domestic league Roma also still needs to improve its position to be better because until now its position is still not good when compared to several other teams there.

Are you claiming that Manchester United were able to finish in a decent position just because they played against weak teams? I can't consider any team weak in this tournament because they qualified for the Europa League. Which weak team does Manchester United face during the group stage? Can you say Rangers, Porto and POAK aren't strong teams? Perhaps you mean Bodoe, Twente, and PIzen are poor teams. Did you believe that if Tottenham Spurs had played against all of the teams that Manchester United defeated in the group stage, they would have finished fourth?

However, I do not think you watched Manchester United's game against FCSB; even if you did not, I believe you should review the game numbers to determine which team dominated during the game. Manchester United controlled FCSB throughout the game, but they were not able to score a goal in the first half. Let us wait for the next round of the game to see how Manchester United plays, but at this point, I am confident that they are going to make it through the next round if they continue in this way.

I think all three Turkish teams will be defeated.
Ajax is a team that plays very good football on its home field.
If the match had been in Istanbul, I would have thought that Galatasaray would have won, but the situation is very different now.
It is more logical to bet on Ajax Galatasaray match with over 2.5 or over 3.5 goals.
Twente has no choice but to win to qualify for the play-offs and they will most likely win.
Midtjylland is an ambitious team and Fenerbahçe has a lot of shortcomings. Mourinho will go to the field for a draw and thinks that maybe a draw will be enough, but the home team is ahead for the win.

Your prediction was so close to turning out to be correct.

Fenerbahçe were the only one not losing their game. They actually made a nice comeback first but couldn't prevent the equalizer anyway.

But even this was enough to keep them alive for playoffs by finishing at the 24th position. If Braga's goal wasn't called offside, Fenerbahçe were also going to follow Beşiktaş right behind about getting eliminated.

Galatasary concedes and scores too just like you said, I really love this your analysis I will add this your options to mine and I hope it comes to be. Yesterday's games produced lots of goals in the Champions League, let's hope Europa League will follow suit.

Thanks for your comment. If you only added BTTS for the Galatasaray game and not all the other options I said then congrats! Grin

Galatasaray scored the goal too late with Osimhen though despite having so many chances to score. But their defense was always ready to concede more like I said.

As I suspected, Lazio would most likely lose in this last match because they had been confirmed to qualify and were still at the top of the UEL standings, but even though they could beat Lazio, Braga still couldn't secure their position in the play-off zone so their struggle in the UEL only ended here.
I bet on BTTS and under 3.5 unfortunately I had to lose because Lazio didn't score a goal at all even though I thought at least Lazio was able to score 1 goal based on their productivity in the UEL.

Lazio's coach made changes to the team probably to save players since Lazio had already qualified even before yesterday's game, as in Serie A they are fighting for a place in the European Champions League, they need to save the squad, especially after the defeat in the last game against Fiorentina. They now need to try very hard not to lose in the remaining Serie A games.

Fenerbahce played a stressful match against Midtjylland that will never be forgotten. The last minutes were crucial. Fenerbahce played without losing control of the game and qualified for the playoffs, albeit in last place. The fact that this was achieved despite missing so many players is good for Mourinho's future at the club. Fenerbahce has a chance to start again with the right additions to the team.

As for the game, Dzeko was one of the two worst players in the game, but with a net assist and a scoring contribution, his situation can be overlooked. However, because of Tadic, Fenerbahce played with 10 players. He was so ineffective that if he had been red carded Fenerbahce would have played the same game. At times Fenerbahce played well, at times badly, the pitch conditions were difficult and despite missing players, they got the desired result, albeit luckily.

Early this season Manchester United has into pot 1 for drawing stages this makes them placed as the favourite with highest UEFA coefficient so that's why during group phase Manchester United didn't facing strong opponents but being an unbeated on group phase is good achievement especially if we see the current condition of Manchester United which still struggle to find their consistency in Premier league and among all of the teams who participate on Europa league this season i can see only Manchester United as the only one who can do that

Sometimes one cannot just understand football. You see teams struggling in their Leagues having an exceptional. Performance in European competitions. In some cases, the contrary will be the case. Ajax is having a good time in the Dutch League but couldn't get a straight round of sixteen qualification. Manchester United has done well in the Europa but the main test will come in the next round.

Teams that have qualified will have to wait for the results of the playoff games for them to know who they will battle for the quarterfinals ticket. Before then we will have to enjoy some of the playoff games to see who will move to join the eight teams that got the instant slots.

This is why you cannot use the performance of a club in their domestic league to judge the club's performance in international competitions. Ajax was able to secure victory after three consecutive losses in their Europa matches, but they'll still be part of the playoffs. United is performing pretty good here, and I hope that they win their next match in the knockout stage.

It was a bad evening for Turkish teams. To be honest, I didn't expect we would see results like this. Galatasaray's opponent was strong, I did not expect them to play very well against Ajax. But Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe surprised me. I think Beşiktaş as should have won this match. They played promising football in the last matches, but they failed to score a goal last night.
Fenerbahçe shocked everyone, losing points against a very weak team. Fortunately, they still have a chance to continue their journey, but it's a shame that they can't even beat such weak teams

I have read a lot of comments that Okan Buruk and Galatasaray should leave. The fans are generally dissatisfied, they think the team needs a better coach to be successful in Europe. They cannot play comfortably in European matches as they do in Turkey. This situation is greatly affected by the fact that the referees are different and the opponents are strong.
Let's see what they can achieve in the future

Turkish teams finished the night badly.

Beşiktaş lost 1-0 to Twente and said goodbye to Europe Leauge. Twente will play in the play-offs in Europe Leauge with this victory.

Galatasaray lost 2-1 to Ajax and finished the Europa League in 14th place. Who will be our opponent in the play-offs?

Fenerbahçe drew 2-2 with Midtjylland and will continue in the Europa League, waiting to see who their opponent will be.

Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe play bad football, but especially Galatasaray is protected by the referees. In the last match, at least two players should have been sent off with red cards (even though the referee saw it, they did not). He is the undefeated leader in his own league, but the situation is different in Europe.
They could not beat the last place Kiev last week and lost 2-1 to Ajax this week. His flaws in his own league are revealed in the Europa League.
Fenerbahçe is playing badly, but there is no referee support. If they had not conceded a goal in the last minutes of the Midtjylland match yesterday, this bad Fenerbahçe would have been in a higher place, but they had a draw and qualified for the play offs, albeit in 24th place.

Manchester United's performance has been poor this season but they are doing well in the Europa League. Although their position in the Premier League is not good, their position in the Europa League is very good and their performance is also very good. Manchester United finished the European with a great performance and they qualified for the next round by finishing third in the points table. Manchester United must play stronger at the moment and improve their performance as they have been able to achieve a good position.

That yesterday victory was totally not convincing at all considering how incompatible they were against the team they played against.

The reality is that Manchester United should have been seen struggling to qualify by going through the playoff if they had faced a stronger opponent in their games but seeing how they managed to win matches against the teams they played against you could see their level of performance despite winning most of the games. For their victory yesterday against FCSB they deserved the victory because they were the better team and FCSB may not be a well known team to you because you don't have the opportunity of watching their games but you need to see their home record this season cause they hardly record defeat at home so Manchester United getting 2 goals in the second half I think they took their chances since they were 11 players in the team nobody was sent off. The round of 8 is the next stage and Manchester United will face a better team I think we could see them winning to qualify for round of 4 or be eliminated in the competition.

i hope galatasaray has finally seen its shortcomings. i mean, it's so obvious right in front of everyone - the team needs reinforcements at full-backs, midfield, and goalkeeper. what more has to happen? we dropped out of the top 8, we lost our unbeaten streak, what else needs to go wrong, i don’t get it.

galatasaray will face either az alkmaar or midtjylland. we’ll probably lose to either of them. i guess the european journey is over now. it’s done and dusted.

I have said before that Galatasaray is not a team that has good defenders, yesterday performance against Ajax was very poor, Galatasaray can't even score a single goal in the match, and with the way I'm seeing things Galatasaray will not even qualify to the round of 16, Galatasaray can't even make it to the top 8 of the league table and that they will play a playoff which makes me believe that many strong teams is playing playoff and they can defeat Galatasaray.

So Lazio ended in 1st position at the end.
On the top of the leader-board we have strong teams
Lazio Athelic United and Spurs in the top 4.
Not like in Champions League where so many top teams failed to be in the top 8

The overall level is lower here with more differences between top clubs and average clusbs

Lazio, Manchester United, Atletic Bilbao, Tottenham and others make it to the top 8 and it's nice to see Manchester United for qualify to Round of 16, Manchester United should take this league seriously than the Premier League, winning this trophy will make Manchester United fans believe the players and the coach that they can do better and make Manchester United team that everyone wants to see for a long time.

For the performance in the European league, I am a little more optimistic about Manchester United's journey because even though they played badly in the Premier League, they are still quite consistent in the European League.

Exactly, in the EPL, Man United is indeed very bad this season, even very low performance down to position 12, only in the UEFA Europa League, their performance is very good and consistent, indeed quite different from their competition in the Premier League.

yes at least, in 8 matches, they have never lost even once this is a very good achievement and they finished in 3rd position, qualifying for the next round.
- 5 wins
- 3 draws
- 0 loss
And now, man united is in the list of the top for next round

Manchester United's performance has been poor this season but they are doing well in the Europa League. Although their position in the Premier League is not good, their position in the Europa League is very good and their performance is also very good. Manchester United finished the European with a great performance and they qualified for the next round by finishing third in the points table. Manchester United must play stronger at the moment and improve their performance as they have been able to achieve a good position.

This is part of the process that Amorin is doing so we just have to wait and see how or to what extent Amorin will have a positive impact on Man United, because what I see right now is quite extraordinary from Amorin, it's just that his players often don't perform optimally if they perform well in every match I'm pretty sure they will finish in a good place in the EPL too, because Amorin's strategy is extraordinary he plays the ball quite efficiently so that opportunities and defense also accompany him stably, I just hope Man United players are more focused because currently UEL is a great potential for them to win it.

Ever since Amorin joined Manchester United, his goal has been to take his team to a higher position. Since they are currently in a good position in the UEL, Manchester United will definitely improve their position and qualify for the next round. Since they have taken good steps for the Europa League and their positive aspects are really attractive, it is expected that they will continue their performance in the EPL.
Yes, it would be a good initiative if Amorin can take his team to the final of the Europa League because Man United is currently in a very good form. If the team can improve their performance and they pay enough attention to the UEL, then Manchester United has enough chances to win the trophy.
