⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[xmonkeyx]

Of course there is a big difference between the leagues these teams take place in so it doesn't matter much which one is in the league, because the teams that win all the matches against the simple teams can be very unsuccessful in the European matches (: West Ham are also one of the strongest candidates at the moment and I think we will watch in the final game, they can win their game against Frankfurt. We will watch a good final match

West Ham United has good chances of winning against Frankfurt and going to the finals. But after the Barcelona loss I am really afraid to bet against Frankfurt, maybe we will see another miracle. So far I haven't put down any bet yet for the semi finals, maybe I will just skip this round and only put down a small bet on RB Leipzig vs Rangers. The payout for Leipzig winning is so low that there isn't much profit to be made and better to wait for the finals. If there won't be any surprises than we are going to see West Ham United playing against RB Leipzig in the finals. In the finals I will definitely put my money on Leipzig again. Will be close match though.

West Ham United are in good form in the last few matches in their domestic league while Frankfurt are certainly now with high confidence after they were able to beat Barcelona and advance to this semifinal.
I think the match between these two teams will be very balanced and interesting and both teams have the same chance to advance to the final round of the Europa League this season.

Personally, I'm still more confident in West Ham United because clubs from the English League are always stronger and more consistent than German League clubs like Frankfurt, even though Frankfurt have beaten Barcelona.
However, if we examine in depth, Barcelona is also not as strong as in the past, so it is natural to be defeated by Frankfurt this season in the Europa League.

I agree with you. This match will definitely be balanced and competitive. The Frankfurt players are still very confident after the win over Barcelona. On the other hand, West Ham's performance in the Premier League is not bad. They are seventh in the table. So both teams will have to try to qualify for the finals. Moreover, West Ham's forward is good enough.

Despite beating Barcelona in the quarter final of the Europa league competition, I don't think Eintracht Frankfurt might qualify. Though they played so well in their last Europa league game, but that doesn't give them the  privilege to qualify. West Ham have been outstanding in the Europa league competition, though the both teams really needs the win to secure a place in the champions league next season.

This Europa League is indeed very difficult to predict who will qualify for the next stage, but if you look at their respective leagues for this season, obviously West Ham are slightly ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, but in terms of the Europa League I think Eintracht Frankfurt will also trying to win because it's about securing a place in the Champions League next season.

Anyone can predict according to their respective views on the teams that are still active in the Europa League. The four teams still have an equal chance of qualifying for the next round, they must fight in two legs to ensure themselves as the best and deserve to be in the final. All the seeded teams of this tournament have been eliminated, lastly Barcelona, ​​who is the most superior of all the teams still competing in the Europa League had to lift their suitcases early after being eliminated by Frankfurt.
RB Leipzig, West Ham, Frankfurt and Rangers can still deliver surprises, they are close to reaching the goal, playing in the final is every team's dream. They will show their best performance in the semifinal match in order to appear in the top party, while bringing them closer to the trophy.

I think Barcelona's defeat to Frankfurt is unnatural, because from the quality of the players Barcelona is still very far ahead of Frankfurt. it was a surprise result, but that's football. anything is still possible.

In the semifinal match, West Ham United is certainly still very advantaged compared to Frankfurt, but this is a Semifinal match where every team competing here will give their best game, and in my opinion it is not impossible that surprises will happen again.

[Unknown01]

Don't be fooled by the performance in their own national league. Many teams play badly in the league and much better in the EL or UCL. The best example of this is Villareal, they are 7th in La Liga but in the quarterfinals. Frankfurt has very good chances against West Ham and I would even bet on the Germans.

Are we still talking about Barcelona, a couple of weeks after Barcelona dropped out of this competition? 
Why would the defeat of Barcelona by Frankfurt be unnatural or strange?
Frankfurt played two very good games against Barcelona and deservedly advanced to the semifinals.
I agree that the German league is in crisis, and that English clubs are better in international competitions in recent years.
West Ham is probably a serious favorite to win this competition but it was also Barcelona so we know what happened

West Ham United is the team that I see luckier against Frankfurt. I expected them to win in Barcelona, ​​but Frankfurt surprised us and they managed to eliminate them in Spain. So I actually think Frankfurt is a tough team and West Ham United should not look down on them. If Frankfurt also succeeds against West Ham, they will win the trophy in the final.

If you compare their intensity, I personally believe with West Ham, because West Ham are used to tough competition in the EPL. Although West Ham is not a team with many achievements, West Ham's presence in the top 10 in the EPL standings proves that West Ham cannot be underestimated at all. Indeed, with Frankfurt being able to beat Barcelona it could be a trigger for them to be able to play well, but that alone cannot be a guarantee if Frankfurt will win easily against West Ham. Because previously, West Ham also had a big struggle when they had to win against Sevilla to finally qualify for this phase.

I think the same as you man. West Ham have had a busy EPL fixture and there they play against strong teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham. These matches they play further increase their quality and adaptability to the challenge. Therefore, I can say that they are luckier than Frankfurt. In this match, the team that evaluates the positions well will advance to the next round. However, the team I believe will beat the lap is West Ham. They are playing very good matches in a tough league like EPL.

I think what happened to Barcelona is proof that Frankfurt is not a random team and I think it's too naive to underestimate them at the moment.
They reached the semi-finals now and that is proof that they are not an easy team to beat.
At least Westham in this case should not underestimate this team because indeed if they did this then maybe what happened to Barcelona would happen to them too.

[buwaytress]

My favourite from day one is west ham, they really deserve something from this season,they have been consistent even last season the they fought till the last day for Fourth position even topping Leicester city, Tottenham Hotspur and arsenal in the league table, when Barcelona was drop to the Europa League I was thinking this is bad news for them but Barcelona are out now so I see them as the favourite,they will win Frankfurt in the semis, winning Lyon 3 nil is a enough evidence that they will see out Frankfurt. And rangers are not push aside team just because they are playing a German team that is not reliable.

You do have to give credit to Moyes -- I know he's no one's favourite guy but if you're not a club expected to go fight in Europe and will never have the budget to do this (I say this because of Newcastle and the random money any club can appear to enter into suddenly), he's your guy. I still feel slightly disappointed in their league position but to actually say that means how far he's somehow taken them. I still don't rate them in Europa though and that's no disrespect to them. UCL, Europa, they need experience in continental competition. Frankfurt surely has more nous, Rangers will feel hungrier (or angrier for likely losing the Scottish title defence...).

Frankfurt was never expected to reach this stage of the competition. Especially after the performance that they have shown in their own league. But, I have to say they did well and they took their chances. They did not just hang back and waited for the penalty shootout to win the match. They created chances and they have exploited the main weakness of Barcelona which is their defence. But now that expectation should be high from them.

I also believe that Westham is better prepared for the competition because they are facing bigger teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and also many other teams that are really good. They are playing against these teams quite often.

So, they should know better what will work against their opponent in the Europa League and they should also have better tactics and play style. But, another thing is this is the reason why the expectation is higher from them and I hope they don't feel pressurized.

West Ham is probably a serious favorite to win this competition but it was also Barcelona so we know what happened 

There are two representatives of the German league this season, I think they can meet in the final. But West Ham have had a pretty good season this season, Frankfruft will probably have a hard time beating them. So I think Leipzig will win against the rangers and they will be against West Ham.
The season is coming to an end, I'm looking forward to Man United if they can go to Europe. They were too bad at the end of the season they might even be chased by West Ham in the current EPL sixth position.

[judas]

The most probable finale would be between West Ham and Leipzig. And it would be really difficult to predict which one of them would make it to the title. My favourite team among the remaining ones are West Ham now. They don't have much chance to qualify for the Champions League considering their position in the English Premier League now. Because of that, the Europa League title is like their only way of making it to the Champions League groups directly. And I think that they are the most likely team to achieve this goal now. They just need to keep their head down and fight with all they have got.

[rugrats]

Don't be fooled by the performance in their own national league. Many teams play badly in the league and much better in the EL or UCL. The best example of this is Villareal, they are 7th in La Liga but in the quarterfinals. Frankfurt has very good chances against West Ham and I would even bet on the Germans.

That could probably be a valid point and I think because of Frankfurt not having to worry about their own league because they just have to stay out of the relegation zone, they are going to use their full force to win the Europa League. They are very well that it is quite pointless right now to get a better position in their own league and the only thing that can save their pride is going to be the Europa League.

The problem is that for now, there are still many who think they are here just because of luck, even though if you look at it, it's not that simple.
Their strategy is good and this is proof they are focused on being in the Europa League this season.
Suffice it to say don't be fooled by their performance in the domestic league as this can be deceiving. Barcelona have fallen victim to them and it is not impossible that Westham will also have a lot of trouble facing them now

To be honest, i have west ham as my favorite too; but i must mention that truly i am panicked for westham, They had just a CB play against Arsenal (Dawson) and he even got red carded; the big question is, Will Moyes have  a fit CB available for the semifinal clash? This will be crucial to WestHam chances because good defenses win you titles. If westham pull away from the first leg with a draw or victory without a fit CB. It will be europa league greatest escape. What do you think ?

I'm waiting for United in the Conference League  It will be cool that such a great club competes in such a dubious competition. However, if nothing changes, then United from the Conference League may well get into the Europa League and compete for this at least slightly significant title. Although I highly doubt it will be a priority for them, the last few times United have played in the Europa League they have performed very poorly.
