Galatasaray won another big game against Tottenham Spurs, thanks to a superb effort by Mertens, who helped Osimehn score two goals in the first half. I never expected Galatasaray to win based on the odds bookies offered them because it looked to be a difficult game at home as Tottenham hadn't lost against any opponent in the Europa League, but they lost their first match to Galatasaray. If W. Lankshear had not been sent off in the 60 minutes of the game, Tottenham would have draw the match, but they played against 11 players and could only score two goals.

However, with 10 points, Galatasaray is in third place in the rankings. They will play Az Alkmaar on matchday 6, and I hope they continue with their fantastic performances and secure three points. result for Mourinho tonight. Before the start of the game, if Fernabach didn't win, I wasn't expecting them to lose either but they are currently closing conceding three goals from the second half. I hope this should be the end of Mourinho journey in the European competitions this season.


Fernabach isn't performing like one of the strongest teams in the Turkish league, they lost 3:1 to Az Alkmaar, which is a poor result for Mourinho tonight. Before the match, if Fernabach didn't win, I did not expect them to lose, but they lost after conceding three goals in the second half. I hope this doesn't mean the end of Mourinho's appearances at European competitions this season.

The match has ended, and Manchester United have been able to get their first win. A really big congratulations to them. After struggling to get a win in three matches, finally they have been able to get 3 points, which is really a nice one for them. I won’t say there is any improvement in Manchester United yet, even as they played well today, that doesn’t mean their performance has improved. I just want to see how they will play in matches they are having in the Premier League, but it’s a nice one that they could get three points in today's match.

Ruud has rescued Manchester United before he step down on his role as the acting head coach after Ten Hag’s departure; he tried in all the games he played, he won two and drew one, and from all indications, the deadlock of Manchester United not wining games in European competition will come to an end because 2-0 already and the performance that is been displayed by the team is very impressive and the match might end like this because we have just few seconds to the final whistle.

I wish Ruud Van Nistelrooy the best because he is a good coach, he will soon get a new job because for me, he is better than Ten Hag.

Both teams actually have good squad, they have good players. However, Tottenham plays in a more competitive league, Tottenham ideally should be a bit stronger. But we don't forget the match was held in Galatasaray home and Galatasaray has Osimhen as one of the most strongest striker in the world. Osimhen trully proves his quality by scoring 2 goals in the first half of the match. Yep, the first half was ended with 3 goals made by Galatasaray players. Meanwhile Tottenham only scored 1 goal.

Unfortunately Tottenham got a red card in minute 60'. It makes them hard to score although they actually played better in the early of second half. They still could score 1 goal again although they already missed 1 player. I think Tottenham can equalize the score if they got no red card in this match. Well, Galatasaray was lucky that Tottenham missed 1 player in second half because of the red card.

Finally Man United managed to score two goals in the 51st and 77th minutes by Diallo which made Man United lead 2-0. Although in this match in the first half Man United dominated but it seemed difficult to score a quick goal, although PAOK is not a strong opponent for Man United but considering Man United is only trained by a temporary coach I think this is a natural thing.

Man United currently only needs to maintain the advantage until the end of the match, if successful then this is an extraordinary achievement for Man United, because this is the first victory for Man United in the European league. And it seems that now Ruud Van Nistelrooy has made several substitutions, I think this is the right decision to maintain the advantage. This victory also signifies Man United's current slump due to Erik Ten Hag's failure to develop strategies and utilize the skills of the players owned by Man United.

You just need to be patient because if you judge the overall improvement it certainly will not be seen at any time. they are now leading 2-0 which the Dutch coach cannot do. Ruud game scheme is quite effective because he is not fixated on the build up that Ten Hag always applies. United game is quite creative so that 2 goals from Amad came from a passing pattern that was indeed built from openness to each other.

Well Manchester United scored the first goal after several efforts since the first half they also seemed more confident and dominated the match, looks like we see Manchester United that are different today and I'm sure this is not lucky. The match will end in 10+ minutes this means Manchester United will get the first win also managed go up to the 15th position of the standings, Manchester United only need to be consistent in doing the same thing in the coming match to open up opportunities to qualify for the next round.

It seems that there is still no significant difference between the Ten Hag era and the current Van Nistelrooy era, but at least for now we can see a little difference, especially for the defense line.

Indeed, from this match we can see that Manchester United still has problems, especially in the attacks they build and the finishing they do, but on the other hand their defense is still quite active and does not wait for each other because they start to take the initiative and that is a good thing in my opinion.

The score is still 1-0 for Manchester United but they cannot be complacent right now because after all with their previous personality, crucial times can be a serious problem so if they really want 3 points then they should try as much as possible to maintain this now.

I totally agree with you on this. However, Beşiktaş didn’t play well in the Galatasaray game either. That’s why the fans started criticizing the team and the manager. Last night, as I expected, Beşiktaş managed to beat Malmö, but again, they didn’t play as well as the fans had hoped.

Manchester United are finally taking the lead with a goal from Amad Diallo in the 50 mins, maybe they will finally get their first European win a long time.

Already Ruben Amorim has a difficult task ahead of him, he needs to try to bring the best out of these players and make them more serious though he will be thankful that the january transfer window is really closed by and so he can actually get rid of some players and strengthen the squad, but still yet things won't be easy as it is at Sporting for him.

The first half of the match has ended the second Half has now begin and from the results given Manchester is now leading the PAOK 1-0 with current management that Man united have they need to win this match, because I can see that since then their performance have little improve: So in this case there’s possibility that they can secure this goal and win the match. Because they try dominate the entire first Half and the also the same thing in this second Half, which prove that they will get this three points direct.

Still Nil for Manchester United against PAOK, i thought they had improved really well after facing Chelsea in the Premier league, meanwhile Chelsea are already beating their opponent six goals alone just in the first half of the game. No choice other than to accept that the primary problem might not fully be from the manager but rather the players. United are currently topping with the most missed chances, this opportunities buried where supposed to count several points for them but just worst of them to keeping losing them.

All eyes for the betterment of the club are just on Ruben Amorim, he just may not be able to succeed like the others (Fortunately, he might,), if he decides to still retain same players, getting additional players and mobilizing them enough might meet up the expectations but as of now i might just be a bit doubtful. Ruben Amorim is a good coach, his defeat against City was outstanding and potentially puts him on the most demand for Ten Hag permanent replacement. Going for him is the best option and we wait to see the outcome.

Let talk less about the red card, the initial lineup put Tottenham at a disadvantage in the first place. Galatasary appears to be better than any teams Tottenham have faced so far this season. Despite the red card, Tottenham played even better with ten men than when they were complete in the pitch. The end scoreline would have been different if Tottenham started the game with their best squad the way Galatasary did. It was very obvious how the game changed when some senior players were introduced into the game and Galatasary couldn't press again despite Spurs was one man down. I'm confident that a full strength Tottenham side would have won that game or at least draw the game. The first half was very ridiculous thou but the second half was a bit of laudable performance irrespective of the outcome. Victor performance for galatasary was indeed outstanding.

The first half ended in a goalless draw, while I was also waiting to see how the second half would go. In general, the two teams are evenly matched in this game based on their performance, but considering that Manchester United's squad depth is better, the hope of victory is clearly higher.

Manchester United needed to work very hard in the second half to secure a win at home. This would be their first win in the Europa League this season, but I can't argue that PAOK have been pretty tough to beat so far. PAOK are looking to get a point at Old Trafford, but I hope Ruud van Nistelrooy can prevent that and he needs to win it.

We are not supposed to lose hope so soon on Manchester United because there is still the second half, so they still have chances to score in the game. Moreover, in some of the games that they won or went to a draw, the goals were in the second half, so let calm down. Although the hope that I had in Manchester United right now is not that much again because I don’t still know what is keeping them from scoring a goal in this game. Although they know that they really need the points themselves because they have only 3 points so far in 3 games, if they really want the best for themselves, they will try their possible best to see that they win this game against POAK. Although left to see how the game will end for them today.

I will not deny the fact that Manchester United in this short time on that Van Nesteroy has actually improved. Even if they don't get to win all the matches they play, their pattern of playing and attacking has actually changed. In all, I am satisfied by their performance except for Garnacho who seems to be somehow selfish in the team.

The former Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hang, was unable to win one out of the three matches he played in the Europa, even when he played against clubs like Twente, that was a bad performance in the Europa. If Van manages to win today, the argument will be sealed.

Manchester United has the second half to score a goal or else the situation will be much more complicated than expected. The first half ended with a draw since it was poorly played by both teams. I am a bit sceptical about what happened in the previous days in Manchester United and the time needed by the new management to adapt. Otherwise, when I see Tottenham Hotspur result in today's match, I feel a bit worried about ManU.

You don't expect miracles to happen within a short period of time and the match is not yet over. Manchester United might win this match in the second half, because they played better than PAOK, and I hope they will be able to break the deadlock in the second half after the coach must have talked to them on how to go about scoring goals. United played well in the first half but failed convert some of their chances to a goal.

I don't think there's a significant improvement in Manchester United's performances since Erik ten Hag left because if there's as claimed by many, they should've scored already in their game tonight against POAK. It's halftime at Old Trafford and both teams are yet to score in a game I think is very boring to watch. I can't wait for Ruben Amorim to take over Manchester United and help bring exciting football back to Old Trafford again.

If Manchester United can’t get 3 points in the match, it’s going to be a bad one for them because all the matches that they have played, they haven’t been able to win any one. The first half of the match is about to end already, and the two clubs haven’t been able to secure any goal yet, but it’s going to be shameful for Manchester United not getting three points in the match. Lots of people have been saying there has been improvement in Manchester United’s performance since Ten Hag left the club, just because they won against Leicester City. Then let’s see how Manchester United will play today.
