Topic: UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season - page 86. (Read 20406 times)

Most talked match in soccer community currently is Manchester United vs Twente with both are having first meeting and things are clearly favourable for the home team Manchester United despite having too many problems and other on and off the field issues things are going in Red Devil's favour for win and having good start of their campaign into UEFA Europa Cup on papers Manchester United is strong enough to beat Twente easily but still we can expect some drama which is now part of Manchester United's life.

Eric Ten Hag is now under pressure and things are surely not ideal for them to play and have good win with in case of any other result we can expect some good changes because now management and fans passion is out of the way, and they are not ready to give more time to current coach which is completely failed to bring positive changes even they are having good changes.

Athletic Bilbao are having a good run. After losing to Atletico Madrid, they got 3 consecutive wins, so they should have good morale going into the match against Roma. But there is something a bit unfortunate, Bilbao will most likely still be without Nico Williams who has not recovered from his injury (he also did not play in the match against Celta Vigo).

It might not be easy to play against Roma, especially since Roma will be playing at home. But Bilbao striker, seems to be on fire, and it looks like Guruzeta will score again.

We should not punish De Rossi with that criticism. Although I also do not really like it and already know that De Rossi is not suitable for Roma, but I think sometimes a team cannot improve its performance because all the players do not agree with the coach and it actually has a bad impact.
Looking at the first results when the team was under Ivan Juric's care, it had a positive impact with 1 win as you said.
But we will never know what the future of Roma will be this season with Ivan Juric, the most important thing right now is that Roma has a good start with a new coach and we just think positively and see his performance against Bilbao.

I  think  Athletic Club is favorite for this match. Athletic Club played very well in last match and they won the match on sided. In comparison, Roma team also played well  in last match. We will see good match because both team players are hard worker and they  will give their hundred percent to win this match. Every team want to win the title but Roma team players are more excited than any team players of  any club. The match will happen in Stadio Olimpico and we will see full match because any time match can be change and we could miss good moment of the match.

Could it be an intentional act by the players when the want a new coach? I don't know how this sounds but looking at patterns of occurrence, it gat me thinking in that direction, just before Mourinho left, they were terrible with their performance and results same happened few weeks into this season after de rossi have been seen as the savior who was supposed to get roma back to winning waay and achieve that which they probably have never achieved even before now. Maybe they some day get a coach that fits in to their expectations, as for the fixtures I would love to see what Roma is going to get without an actual head coach then their point can be proven clearly if rossi was their issue.

At times I'll forget and become confused and atimes I'll remember, but then we are getting used to it. I had to miss watching the champions league that was played on Thursday because I believed it was usual Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday for Europa League. Just few minutes ago, I was asking my brother about Europa and why it wasn't played on Thursday. He reminded me about the new format. Let's keep adapting to the new format.

I am interested in the Manchester United and Tottenham fixtures and their opponents seem easy for them to win. I will not entertain any kind of excuses from Manchester United manager if he refuses to win and score more than 3 goals in that match. Tottenham will win Qarabag for sure.

Yeah it is only about replacing your manager new and its psychological effect over the players. We don't know what Juric will do in the long term yet. We couldn't find out about it much when it comes to De Rossi either.    Because he got sacked very quickly. I don't know what Roma chairman is up to with changing managers very often. It isn't healthy like I said many times already.

When it comes to the fixtures, it has only been like this for the first week. As of the second one, it will be once again like the old format.

Champions League games on TUE and WED, Europa League - Conference League games on THU.  

Roma were finally able to get their first win of the season, previously Roma continued to lose points when facing teams whose quality was below them but the match against Udinese gave us a surprise with Roma winning its first 3 points as well as giving Udinese their first defeat of the season, maybe some people will find it funny but I think it is a common thing to happen after the change Coach, Roma's victory certainly makes their fans happy at the moment but they shouldn't have expected too much from the new coach, because last season De Rossi was able to bring Roma consecutive wins after replacing mourinho who was sacked, but in the end with the passage of time didn't Roma finally fall like today, then aren't we also too early to hope for Ivan Jurig at this time?

Last season de rossi was able to bring Roma to the semi-finals which was finally stopped by Leverkusen, so the presence of Ivan Jurig is of course expected to be able to bring Roma even better this season, Atletico Bilbao will be the first test for Ivan Jurig in the Europa League and let's see how good Roma is in the Europa League this season after their coach change does.

Why Roma management sacked Mourinho is a mystery to me. Mourinho is a very experienced young man. If the Roma management had prepared enough funds to buy players, and if they had taken the necessary steps to strengthen the squad, Mourinho would have been able to strengthen the Roma team. But Roma management had no interest in spending money. Even so, it cannot be said that Roma's performance under Mourinho has been poor.

De Rossi was appointed by the Roma management even after Mourinho was sacked. And with the help of the new coach, Roma won several matches in a row. But slowly again we saw irregular and poor performances from Roma team. And Roma's performance this season is weaker than the previous season.

Roma management has changed their coach again. Roma management must understand that if the squad is not strong, even if they change the coach repeatedly, good results are not possible.

Funny? There's nothing funny about it truthfully. The same thing happened when. Jose Mourinho was sacked and Daniel De Rossi appointed as head coach. They played beautiful football, kept ball possession of the game as also had some levels of consistency and organization. It's expected of the newly appointed coach who landed the job to have immediate impact and it's good to see that, they've fell off a long time even with Jose Mourinho in charge and also despite winning the European Conference Cup Competition. Godspeed Ahead this season.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Fixtures for the European Europa League Competition. Was somehow confused when they brought about this new system but I'm beginning to love it. Vamos!

It's quite funny that after De Rossi left, Roma was able to get their first victory since this season started. It shows that De Rossi was the one who don't understand the players properly. No one can say if the sack of De Rossi will affect the performance of the players positively or negatively.

Let's see what will happen in their next match if they will be able to win it. I am not saying that they have improved but they might be surprising.

De Rossi's dismissal was unexpected and abrupt with no prior hints or information about it. This kind of sudden change can be destabilizing for both the team and the new players who were brought in for the new season. Also, if they had a replacement in mind, they probably would have announced it by now. Since they haven't, they must still be looking for a new head coach. It appears they're in a challenging situation of uncertainty and instability. Hopefully this gamble pays off and they find a coach who can really lead the team to its best form.

Ten Hag is a very confident person and he said it with many times that Ten Hag claimed that he is the right manager of Manchester United and he said too since Sir Alex Fergusen era was ended only him who can able to gets the trophies two times in a row so confidently Ten Hag says he would bringing Manchester United to performing well again so that's why he has no plan to withdraw from his position as a manager unless Manchester United owner has decide to sack him

Regarding the favourite in this competition people have already to discuss about this before and according to the odds Manchester United is the first favourite and following them there is Tottenham and AS Roma as the 2nd favourite and 3rd favourite but there is no guarantee being an the favourite will became an the champion because we all know Europa League is full of suprised and previously i have seen some of strong clubs were beated by weak clubs

Manchester United first opponent is Twente and on the paper this is easy match for them besides that Ten Hag previously was train Ajax so he know well the team from Eredivisie so he know too how to beat the team from this league too and in my opinion although Manchester United performance still not stable i think beating Twente is not hard task for them

In this first match Manchester United will play at home and they should be able to optimize their performance and win, but on the other hand Twente is also not team that can be underestimated because in the Dutch League they are one of the strongest team and could give surprise by making it difficult for Manchester United to win.
If we talk about landslide victory, honestly I not so sure and don't think that far because Manchester United performance itself has not been really consistent and has not really reached the peak of perfection, several times they played badly and made several mistakes, but hopefully this is wrong and in this match Manchester United can play according to the expectations of the fans.

For that I think this season is the last chance, I think that this season if Manchester United fails then Ten Hag chances of being replaced are very big, it just that I curious who else will become Manchester United coach considering that several great coaches have previously refused when offered.

Most probably this will be the first time both teams are ever having to play against each other,  this team isn't a top team in their league, they are considered an average and probably a little above the under dogs and I will agree with you that anything away from victory from Manchester United then, the management should make public when ten hag will be leaving old Trafford because it will mean a gross incompetence, this isn't a way of undermining twenty, but even the team is aware they aren't on same level as their opponent if it were to be in the good old days when the red devils were pronounced and known for their gaming prowess across Europe until now they suffer a drastic decline due to poor management from their head Coach, ordinarily winning the Europa League title shouldn't even be a big deal for Manchester United.

The anticipated match of the red devil who came down the mountain, his first match in the Europa league met a squad from the Dutch league, Twenty's match was quite good in the league and they were quite consistent, and now in a few days will face the red devil squad, it is not so interesting because Ten Hag's team has a high probability of getting a victory in this match, so Twenty might get a crushing defeat.

On the other hand, if Man United is held to a draw or defeated by this team, let's ask Manchester United management, when will they change their coach, it seems they are tired of working, LOL, at least I hope Man United can rise in the Europa League and grow stronger, they have been humiliated too much like a horse that lost its legs.

Personally I wouldn't accept that Erik Ten hag is not capable of handling Manchester United team very well but I'm of the opinion that the coach Ten hag is failing to do a good market check before bringing in the players he has brought to the team so far and that is the greatest failure he has had in the Manchester United team.

Ten hag managed to compete with Pep Guardiola and Arteta in his first season but after that he has failed to improve the performance of the players of Manchester United despite the amount he has spent in the transfer market, he won the FA cup against Manchester City last season but his team could finish among the first 5 team in the league which is so shameful.

If Ten hag fails to improve the performance of the Manchester United team this season it will be disappointing if he fails to resign as the coach because he is doing no good to the team, United performance is not getting better the team is more or less or an ordinary team right now because they can not compete with the big teams in the league which is more reason the coach should leave the team period.

But, I am watching them as worst then last season things are not fixed as expected and their recent match performance against Crystal Palace is clearly giving all review about their future in this season Eric Ten Hag is having no solid strategy which give them any motivation to win and having development in performance.

They are having too many big players which can do much better but wired thing happening, and they are fail to keep momentum after having win against Southampton their attack is amazing but fail to score goals are surely hurting them with this performance I have strong feeling they are not going to have any better spot in Premier League with things could be worst in other events as well because fans will be not happy with this way of performance.

I actually don't agree that the loss in the final of the Europa League has taken anything away from their achievements. They have achieved enough regardless of the loss in the last match. The only thing I will criticize about Xabi Alonso's men is that they have set the bar so high for themselves that they are probably not being able to live up to the expectation. I might be a little too harsh on them because Alonso has just started the season and all the teams know what Alonso are going to do looking at the performance from Die Werkself in the previous season. So the opponents that they are facing are actually ready for them.

I absolutely agree with the part that you said about not expecting the same type of result that they have brought in from the last season. Especially if they are using the same tactics. Because by now the coaches have caught up to the tactics. and it is not going to work as well anymore. I wonder how would they perform if they switched to a conventional tiki-taka style.

And I wonder if Ten Hag realizes that he is not capable of managing a team as big as Man United considering he does not have the skills to compete in the tough Premier League? He should immediately resign from his position
too many opportunities given by the management but still not producing results.
Yes, this should be his last season because I still believe that Man United will be the same as last season if MU management keeps him there will be many questions in my mind.
The Red Devils in the hands of Ten Hag are an ordinary club, in the European league they are not favorites.
