Last round's biggest match is still this round's biggest match IMO. We've got Arsenal who want to insist Saints was a blip (crazy that a draw keeping them on top of the league feels like a letdown) and PSV who want to ensure progress... anyone else thinks Arteta will rest his squad?

My big bet? Sheriff to win away at United at 31/1. You can get it at an even better boost 31.5 at Sportsbet, but I'm using my boosts elsewhere Wink

It was a really pure dominance by Arsenal in this match. It is very enjoyable to watch Arsenal this season actually. Arteta has a great game plan fitting the players exactly. I love their attacking style a lot as they have a high percentage of passing now. It was the same against PSV also and PSV really had nothing to do to prevent them. They found only a couple of opportunities and wasted them that's all.

Gabriel Jesus actually had so many goal chances in this match but he couldn't make use of any of them. He was very close to scoring one time but Benitez saved it really nicely. Xhaka's goal was no different than a shot by a striker. He really has a good technique which helps the team in this kind of critical situations a lot. Otherwise they were still not able to score any goal despite that incredible one-sided performance.

Arsenal played very well yesterday, Arteta as really reform the team to competitive team . Although I'm not Arsenal fan but I their deserves to win either the Europa League or the premier league... I think all the other English team will go far .

Agree and the team from La Liga will be their competitor as we see each of the league dominating in each group
there is a possibility in the final between Primer League vs La Liga and yes Arsenal should be more feasible

Next week's return leg would determine if PSV can regain some of their fighting spirit and win the game since the Gunners get to travel to their home, or maybe they will still find it difficult to beat Arsenal. Hopefully Gabriel Jesus would be in action.

Wait you mean Jesus didn't even play and they still won? Thought Arteta would be putting out full squad to win at home, especially since there isn't such a packed calendar yet but anyway, after scoring so much in the first Quarter of the season Arsenal are now also showing they can grind out victories while not playing at their best. 3 1nil wins in a row is something that champions must get used to doing, and Arsenal are finally becoming that kind of team.

 A friend of mine predicted the game to end in a draw, seeing as Arsenal were looking so relaxed and comfortable to just drag the game. At some point, I wanted to agree too but then Granit Chaka turned the game around. Undoubtedly, PSV were also good with the ball, maintaining possession and also aiming for goal, but I guess Turner chose to be a stumbling block.

Yeah despite that big dominance Arsenal found the winning goal quite late. But they got three points which is the most important point for them now. Maybe they haven't guaranteed the lead mathematically yet but it will also happen for certain. PSV are still no match for Arsenal which we saw it clearly today. Of course the match in Netherlands might be different than this but it depends on how much Arsenal will care about it also.

Arsenal had their usual starting eleven players more than the previous Europa League matches time which helped them be more effective. They will actually be in the Champions League as long as they keep up the good work in the Premier League. But they don't seem like they won't care about the Europa League title on one hand. We will have new teams coming from the Champions League also but for now Arsenal have no match for themselves among the current teams.

Arsenal dominated the match and an outcome like this was quite expected. However, PSV's goalkeeper did well in this match, as he denied Arsenal quite a few times. Arsenal had a lot more chances to get ahead by a more significant difference in this match. Arsenal will be happy that they won this match.

With the way Arsenal is playing, I am quite sure that they will win the Europa League. It feels like this time Arsenal has a legitimate chance of winning the Premier League title, so I am more interested in the English Premier League results. That is, unless they make last-day mistakes again this season.

Underestimate- nothing
Arsenal's performance this season has significantly improved, and they are currently in form and are currently on fire in both the Europa League and the Premier League. Xhaka scored for Arsenal today against PSV, who they defeated 1:0. He also received one yellow card. I was aware that PSV was not a match for Arsenal at this time, and the fact that Arsenal players received 3 yellow cards while PSV only received 1 shows that Arsenal knew it would have the advantage during the game. Arsenal also had 7 shots on target and had 60% of the ball possession.

We have an Arsenal - PSV match today which was postponed before. It feels like we will watch a pretty competitive match.

Both of these teams are doing a great job in the group stage just as most people expected. PSV actually have more impressive goal stats but they are still behind Arsenal due to drawing with Bodo/Glimt once. These teams both played their last matches four days ago and their next matches are in three days. As a result they are both in the same condition now. However Arsenal have a really good advantage as they are the home side. This can help Arteta start with his main players mostly this time. Winning this match will guarantee the lead for them also. Hence I expect Arsenal to win one way or another. 1.55 is a nice odd to add to a parlay I guess.
I literally fall asleep during this game Cheesy. Not because it was that boring, but I was just really tired. Didn't expected such one-sided game, especially considering that PSV looked very solid so far. Despite dominance, it took a while for Arsenal to score. Now they have almost qualified for the next round and also they very close to guarantee 1st place.
Next week teams will play again in Eindhoven were PSV will have much better chance to win.

Goalkeepers are hard to come by, you do not have as many great goalkeepers in active football as you have in other positions, mainly because there are only one of them in the team that gets attention, every other position does get their bench players playing for fatigue reasons, but goalkeepers would go play every single game if they can, unless some injury or booking of course.

That is why I believe that we shouldn't really be worried about the stance of Uzoho, dude will probably get to a great club eventually, only because there aren't enough players like him, and first it needs to be a club that's at one of the 5 big leagues, and then to a huge club, if he keeps playing like this of course.

If Francis uzoho can maintain is performance he will be hot cake in the transfer market  , he is a great goal keeper.  Big clubs would want to sign him. He is kind of goal keeper it so rare to see them.  He is good indeed.
We are to study some results when Francis Uzoho Played, Manchester United versus omonia Nicosia's match was the best performance shown by the goalskeeper from the responsibilities of Given by Niel Lennon.
The Opportunity to Become the Main Goalkeeper and the target of many clubs is very open to uzoho, but it is still too early to provide many assumptions for his future.

Indeed, being consistent in playing football is very important to make a player to be watched out by bigger clubs. Nothing impossible. But, if he has fewer match game again and he loses his consistency, this will only be temporary news about him and then his name will probably disappear on its own and not be popular anymore. Because in the world of football, consistency is very important to keep playing well in every game, not just one time.
Francis Uzoho's Biggest Problem is the second layer goalkeeper in omonia nicosia, this is the responsibility of the coach to give more time to play for uzoho, so that quality improvement can always be guarded by the goetkeeper.
If in the future he still has a lack of playing time, the consistency of the goalkeeper will be quite disrupted in improving performance to Become a better goalkeeper.
The biggest problem is here !!!

He is 23 years old and he managed to get everyone's attention against Manchester United, I'm sure he will have more chances even though he failed to secure a goal in the last minute, he has a chance in the next 2 games he should be able to take his chance there. I checked the price of this goalkeeper on transfermarkt yes it's still cheap.
Right, The Chances of Francis Uzoho are still quite open for career development, consider there are still many opportunities for goalskeepers in quality development.
Everyone did not see the failure when facing Manchester United yesterday, because what was discussed was an individual from the Goalkeeper and a lot of rescue he Did in the match, was enough to cover up their deteat.
Because even though they win, these three points will not be able to help them to the next phase.

At least he should be able to maintain consistency until the transfer market reopens, considering that many big clubs need goalkeepers who have rescue instincts.
Even though Francis Uzoho is the second tier goalkeeper at Omonia Nicosia club, he deserves appreciation in this match and thanks to his toughness in guarding the crossbar, it is not impossible that in the future Niel Lennon will give the goalkeeper more playing time.

If he plays consistently in every game, it is possible that bigger clubs will glance at him later. But again, this definitely needs consistency and proof that he is really a talented goalkeeper. Moreover, with so much media that are spreading the news about him, this may be a positive sign for him.

Indeed, at least, he made around 12 saves.
.....
Yes, this Nigerian goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, is still 23YO.
In the Europa League, the only goalkeeper to have made many saves has been Francis Uzoho this season and it looks like the Omonia keeper will maintain this record for a long time. Currently the British media are talking about Uzoho, even in the upcoming transfer market, he is likely to be the target of many clubs.

My picks for today's games:

- Fenerbahce win @1.75
- Feyenoord win @1.67
- Real Sociedad win @1.31

Fenerbahce shouldn't have much problem against AEK. They controlled the game until the end last. AEK can't keep them at a low performance level home also. They aren't that strong. Fenerbahce have been doing a great job in the attacking line these days. Feyenoord are the leader in their group but all the points are equal now. They had better defeat their opponent this time without leaving space for simple mistakes. Real Sociedad are also the leader of their group and these games are important to consolidate their lead. Sheriff are no match for them and Real Sociedad should be able to win in Spain comfortably.

Well Fenerbahce wont have an easy time,its always hard to win in an away game and we know that Fenerbahce plays hot and cold this season so i think its a hard match for them. Feyenord and Real Sociedad is for me an easy win. Both are huge favorites and shouldnt have any problems.

Feyenoord were a really huge disappointment for me. My betslip lost because of them while I was uncomfortable with the AEK - Fenerbahce game then. I don't understand how come Feyenoord can lose two points against this team again. They made a comeback from 0-1 to 2-1 first but Midtjylland still managed to equalize it after. There was still half an hour to go for the end but Feyenoord couldn't score the winner. They were really dominant in the second half actually.

Real Sociedad defeated Sheriff very easily by 3-0. Fenerbahce were in a little trouble after it became 1-1. But thankfully they continued to fight hard for the win and deserved that 2-1 win. It would have ended by a bigger goal difference also if Valencia didn't miss that penalty. He missed quite a lot of penalties so far also.

Even if the game ended in a draw, Omonia's chances for even third place were slim. Although it would be cool for them to score the first point in the draw plus draw with the legendary team in the legendary stadium. It's funny that United, with what can be said to be a miserable and annoying game, has practically secured access to the next round and may even take first place in the group.
Looks like you didn't watch the game until it was finished, because in extra minutes, precisely in the 93rd minute Scott Mctominay managed to score one goal for Manchester United's victory.

Indeed, at least, he made around 12 saves. Although Omonia lost to Man United, their goalkeeper really gave frustrating saves. We can see how many shots were attacked by Man United and he could hold them, so Man United could only score 1. The statistics really proved how their goalkeeper was really great and awesome in saving the club from more goals.

Back to Manchester United, this match is quite crucial and important to maintain the position of the grub E standings, if in the next match Manchester United is able to beat Real Sociedad with a big score, then Manchester United will become the grub champion, although this looks quite heavy, because in the first leg Manchester United lost 0-1 at home, but this seems to be Erik Ten Hak's target in the next match.

You can't help but feel bad for Omonia at the end of the day, they were very resilient all through the game, but they got broken by a Scott McTominay's goal at the very end of the game, that put Man United on the best route to making it to the knockout stages.
Francis Uzoho's great statistics against Manchester United deserve our thumbs up. Data from livescore.com shows how the 23-year-old from Negeria left Manchester United players proving to be overwhelmed in their quest for victory. 11 shots on target and 14 shots on target up to 10 Goalkeeper saves got United legend Keane talking.

Quote
"He was lucky. He saved almost everything. He was great, don't get me wrong, but he saved everything he should have saved.”

The quote above is Roy Keane's statement when speaking to BT Sport which is very much in line with the facts shown by Uzoho.

I watched the match, so I have to say: agree with Roy Keane. Take nothing away, it was a good, good job from the keeper, and he did everything he could have been expected to (being a stand-in selection no doubt, too) but he didn't make any world-class saves.

Again, it should be said, this was nothing to do with him not being world class, it had everything to do with United not being able to produce any quality shots. They even took so many pot shots that you sensed their estimation of themselves vastly outstripped the underestimation of Omonia.
exactly about this. There are a few who underestimate them. Maybe my guess is not correct regarding many parties who feel Omonia will be a team that Manchester United and easily beats to become Ronaldo's moment to add to his goals in this competition.
 
All of that is refuted with accurate statistics. Despite the poor finishing of the Manchester United players, I don't want to talk about that, but what is clear is the greatness of Francis Uzoho. With the action shown by Uzoho, now he is busy being linked with a replacement for De Gea.
