It was a very bad result for Galatasaray. There is no explanation for a draw with such a team.
Galatasaray starts well but then gives up the match. This has been the case for the last two weeks. 3-0 to 3-3 and 2-0 to 2-2.

I think Fenerbahçe is not playing well, most fans are not happy with this.

Beşiktaş had another bad result. They will probably not think about the Europa League anymore, they will focus on the Süper League.

Something is wrong with the defence of Galatasaray. A team that was leading by two goals just gave up the lead and had to go home with one point. This was the same thing that happened in their last game in the Turkish league, where they settled for a draw after leading by three goals. If they continue this way, they might end up losing the top spot in the league and not qualify for the next round of the Europa.

Roma has not gotten its rhythm even after sacking their coach. The attack seems to be blunt and cannot finish balls. I don't know the basis for sacking De Rossi, but I prefer his pattern of play because what we saw yesterday was not encouraging. Week two results in Europe is really interesting because it will be difficult to predict these results.

Yes, right. That's what I mean. He was not evaluating this season, even though some Manchester United fans voiced that he stayed at Old Trafford for the reason that Rome was not built in one day.
His dismissal is also not certain to make Manchester United will rise and become a team that will compete strongly in the struggle for titles both in domestic and in European competition.
But I don't know much about this team even though their squad this season with the material of the players in my eyes is good. The back line is ok. Midfielder is also ok.
At X.com, after the match vs Porto, Ten Hag Trending. Most people say that Maguire's goal saved Erik Ten Hag's job as a coach.

Manchester United is indeed a big disappointment to us this season, because despite the fact they were able to have scored 2 goals in less than first 20 minutes, allowing Porto team to have scord an equalizing goal in less than next 8 minutes still in the first half, was the worst thing Eric Ten Hag and his boys did in last nights game, because it shows an act of unseriousness between the couch and it's players, as they keep losing or playing draw for the past 4 matches, ever since they gave Barnsley 7 goals to Nill, hence, i think it's high time Manchester United sack Eric Ten Hag and give us a new performing couch this season,

Manchester United vs Porto was the most exciting match, it started from Manchester United leading two goals, Porto make a comeback for scoring 3 goals and in the injury time, Manchester United managed to equalize the score.

Bruno once again try a risky move and he received red card in this match, will Manchester United appeal the red card again just like they did in the previous match against Tottenham?

Bruno should be benched, unfortunately there are no players that play as good as him right now.

I totally agree with you. Ten Hag was given ample time and opportunities by the Manchester United management. Also provided large funds for player purchases. But Manchester United does not have any major achievements. Antony was bought by Manchester United for a huge price. And it was Manchester United's Los Project altogether. I have never seen Antony play well in a United jersey so far. We are not getting consistent performance from Manchester United despite giving big funds and enough time. Indeed, this is the coach's weakness. Barcelona and PSG's squads are less experienced than Manchester United's. However, the performance of these two teams is quite strong compared to Manchester United.

I think the board should sack him if he fails to bring United to the knockout round of the Europa League. Asking for new players every time your team loses is a bit naive IMO. I believe his net spend is around -600 million euros or so. That implies the board, transfer team, or Ten Hag himself has no clue who should they buy and what style of football they're playing and just pick players randomly. CMIIW.

If he can't even bring United to the knockout stage, there's little hope to win any trophy other than FA Cup or something similar which should not be the goal for a club as big as Manchester United.

Maybe Ten Hag wants to be judge by the time he finally send Manchester United to relegation because that is where they are headed at the moment. I think the management have given him enough time to make things right, maybe it is this confidence that make him want more time believing they will oblige. What I expect now is to bring in new players even if they still want to keep Ten Hag, this is because the present combination of players is not just working. Injuries have also become a major problem for them and that is beyond the control of anyone.

We already have proof that Manchester United cannot improve with Ten Hag. He is a unique person. And I am very upset with Manchester United's match tactics. This team has no specific match strategy. Very erratic performance of Manchester United players.

In the last match of the Premier League, we saw that Manchester United's players played very badly in the home match against Tottenham. In the match, Manchester United conceded 3 goals and failed to score even after playing defensively. On the other hand, Manchester United went ahead by 2 goals very quickly against Porto. But then they trailed 3-2.

Manchester United management helped Ten Hag become arrogant. We have seen very poor performances from Manchester United in recent seasons. The team's performance throughout the season was erratic. However, Manchester United gave the Ten Hag a chance. The Ten Hag's biggest achievement last season was Manchester United's victory over the mighty Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season. However, Ten Hag should be sacked by Manchester United. Without a new experienced coach, we will not see an improvement in Manchester United's performance.

By winning only one FA trophy he began to be arrogant. But there has been no progress to this day. I was tired of the excuses he gave. He did not see that he had been arrogant and wordy and could not prove it. I also feel annoyed with Man United's management, why they give a chance to a coach who has failed to develop in 2.5 years. Another problem is the management that has provided full facilities to continue to improve but has not succeeded until now. Let's see if there will be any changes in the next process?

Here are the results of the second match of the Europa League yesterday:

Source: Twitter UEL

The Champions League and Europa League seem to present unexpected surprises in the second match that has been played so far, clubs such as Ajax, Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, Man United, Fenerbahce and Roma not going as expected.
It seems that many people missed their bets including myself who tried to bet on single bets and only 3 matches I chose but only 1 won, namely the Tottenham match against Ferencvaros but that could not cover my losses who lost 2 bet on the Roma and Galatasaray matches.

I quite surprised with this week, along with the matches in the big UCL and Europa League competitions showing many quite disappointing match results with several top team and their favorite team unable to get win.
For the Europa League today I took two matches as bet by taking Galatasaray to win over Rigas SF and also win for Tottenham in their match against Ferencvaros.
In these two matches showed Tottenham very good game and they managed to win as I expected, but Galatasaray was really not as expected because draw should not have happened when seeing how Galatasaray game could dominate completely.
Some other matches with bad results were Roma defeat from Elfsborg and Fenerbahce defeat from Twente then PAOK defeat from FCSB and all of these were very bad results from the Europa League second match.

Yes, Draw is not a bad result, but the way MU achieved the draw was very bad. MU impressive appearance only lasted 20 minutes since the match started, the 0-2 advantage could not be maintained, Porto managed to comeback by changing the score to 3-2 early in the second half. Ten Hag's men were further slumped after Bruno Fernandes received a red card in the 81st minute, and they had to play with 10 men. Maguire saved his team from defeat after scoring an equalizer in the 90+1 minute. One challenge has been passed, Ten Hag then had to prepare his team to face Aston Villa. Although they were able to take home a point at Porto's headquarters, the result was still less than satisfactory because they were unable to maintain their lead.

Mhen!! This season is going to be a long season for Manchester United. To start with the players are really loosing self confidence and this is a big problem for a team that wants to play good football and win trophies. Let talk about Bruno Fernandez who has gradually been losing form since the start of this season. As a captain there are lots of responsibilities to carry. But then it’s beginning to look like the responsibilities are much for him to carry, I think it’s time to let him start from the bench maybe two or three match. To see if he wouldn’t find his form. He also feels no matter how bad he plays nobody is starting ahead of him. Which is a wrong mentality for a player to have. Look at man city. If you feel to important and then end up playing out of position. Be rest assure that you’re starting from the bench. Greenlish feel victim of that his first and second season at city and foden started ahead of him. Injury wasn’t the main reason. But person form and what you contribute to the time. While everyone felt things were going well with foden. Doku was signed and now foden starts from the bench most at times. Now this how to run a proper football team. No matter being the key player, the coach at times needs to discipline a player when they feel too important. Ten hag did it to Christian Ronaldo which everyone was against. But then he was right if we are being honest. Now he doesn’t want to do same to players like Rashford, Bruno. The reason being that the fans will be mad at him like they did during Ronaldo’s time. Mind you he is risking his job.
United needs to change their tactics or better still change their tactical coach if possible. The team doesn’t have style of play. So much needs to be done internally to see the team go through this struggle.

Match stats shows that Roma fully controlled and dominated the match, with 75% ball possession, 23 shots but the shame is they only made 2 big chances in this match and eventually they failed to score even a single goal.

In football, domination is not important, final result is important and Elfsborg has it today with a single goal to get three points. This defeat in Sweden shows that Roma are not actually improved too much with their new appointed coach, Juric. They will fluctuate between wins and losses with very low margin of difference, before Juric can improve their team significantly or he will be fired and out of Roma.

Roma is losing to Elfsborg with a narrow score (0-1). F for Roma. They got thrashed by a low-tier team, Elfsborg. They have a lot of ball possession but are unable to score. Unbelievable.

They recorded 23 shots in total; 2 of them could have won them the game, but due to their wasteful attackers. They wasted it all. They also very often did back pass; they're backpass FC now.

It's very shameful to see that they lost to a team that has a signature as their badge. They were pathetic this whole season; they have been horrible to watch, too. Juric OUT!!!!!

Lately there are many surprises in several matches most favorite teams lose or just draw we don't know whether this is a trend or just unlucky day what is certain as a gambler we feel trapped even for now we must be more careful in placing bets on 1x2 I prefer both teams to score or over on total goals. For Manchester United I really don't think they win because their main target is only a draw this is normal because lately they play bad.

The results of today's games involving teams I know surprised me. I expected Real Sociedad to at least draw, but they lost. Braga also lost, Galatasaray drew, Ajax drew, Roma lost, Fenerbahce drew, Besiktas lost, Porto drew. These were teams that I expected to get a good result, something like winning. But there were also teams that I know that won, such as Lazio, Tottenham, Lyon. This is a competition in which it seems that certain teams that are popular have not been able to show superiority when playing against certain teams that are not popular. It's funny that in certain scenarios the teams that are not popular don't have much money and beat popular teams that have a lot of money.

Seriously I can’t find words to describe this Ten Hag again in as much as I will still blame certain players in fact most of the players for this poor performances I will say this Man has a chunk of questions to answer, Rashford last season was poor Ten Hag didn’t even sun him off in games, Rashford this season has been lively most especially today and he decided to take him out not that Garnacho wasn’t a threat when coming on but substitutions like this usually demoralizes your players confidence. When I saw the substitution i was even thinking the lad had picked up injury not knowing that it was nothing.

Ten Hag substitutions to me have been questionable even the introduction of evans and Maguire although it got the team the equalizer but at moment what was Ten Hag thinking. Also Bruno Fernandez has been a bad moment of lately even though I don’t think he deserved the two red cards he has gotten so far but he seriously needs to be on rested. As for winning the Europa league I think they can go on if they sort themselves out. Ten Hag already saying that they should be judge at the end of the season
