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

[Alanaz]

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.

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.

Maybe next season they will be there if they can maintain their current position lol

there won't be anything interesting but if they are there then most likely as you say, this will definitely get them in the Europa League on a special path

I still have high hopes for Ten Hag for next season but I do realize that don't get my hopes up too high

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.

I would say a better team losing to worse team is not really a "unnatural thing" in football. Yes Barcelona was the better team for sure but at the same time we are talking about something that happens in football. Like Bayern losing wasn't something people expected neither, that was "unnatural" for the same logic as well but that didn't really changed the fact that they are now gone.

If something "unnatural" happened so frequently then we shouldn't really be shocked. This is why I believe that Barcelona losing was definitely not expected but also not something that would have been a big problem at all. We just need to realize that sometimes better teams lose.

Leipzig - Rangers is an interesting draw too. Playing the first leg in Germany is a good advantage for Leipzig though but they had better not be complacent about it. Otherwise, Rangers are a team that are full of surprises considering their success until reaching this point of the tournament. They would continue to play fearlessly in both games of this draw also. Leipzig will have a much more difficult job in Scotland so they had better win this game and move on. I'm favouring Leipzig to advance btw.

Wolverhampton are 5 points behind (although they have a game in hand) and West Ham are two points behind, so United's position is solid  I have already decided for myself not to waste my nerves and not hope for anything in relation to United, but it will be interesting if, after 7 years, United regain the Europa League title. If I'm not mistaken, Ronaldo doesn't have it yet.

Liepzig failed to win the game against union Berlin,I see it was  a perfect revenge for knocking them out of the league cup's.
Rangers won from away during the weekend, they should win over Liepzig for me as they posses the quality players.
Another two to three one win for Rangers of Scotland.
Moyes have European competition experience so I see him having a big Chance to win this.

Ronaldo doesn't have that yet and maybe if they are solid and Ronaldo will still stay at United he still has a chance to get that title

Well this will be their best achievement at this time because indeed when chasing the Europa League directly it will be difficult now at least with this special path they still have a chance there even though the road has to be turned around first

[Zlantann]

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 ?

West Hams display against Chelsea yesterday is proof that it is a well organized and a team to respect. They  created some good chances that would have gave them goals if not for the goal saving prowess of Mendy. The defense was solid. Chelsea created less goal attempts because of the formidable defence. Chelsea worked very hard to get that late goal. David Moyes has shown again that his wealth of experience cannot be overemphasized. West Ham would get to the finals, but I still doubt the team's capacity to lift the trophy.

I am really not going to be surprised if Manchester United gets further down the table. They have played really bad and there is no excuse for that. And the defense of Manchester United is absolutely horrible.
Each and every defender seems to be turning like Titanic. Before the turn, the attacker of the opponent is past them.

But, that's expectable when the players are not consistent. The only player who is consistent in my opinion is Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United right now who is trying his best to salvage something from each and every match.

The only solution to Manchester United right now is to get new players because the players Manchester United have right now are not ready to improve,  it will be very bad if Manchester United  continues with a performance like this. Manchester United just need good players that can perform better for the team.

[blackened515]

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.

I agree with you. West Ham focus are mainly on the Europa League trophy, and they will definitely put in their best effort to ensure they secure the title. Presently, they are at the 7th position in the EPL, and also 8 points behind the top 4. Is quite obvious that the Europa trophy is their only hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. However, winning the Europa won't be easy for West Ham. But, they are equal to the task.

I agree, I think that at least keeping the goalkeeper, bruno fernandez and cristiano ronaldo, will be a good choice. as for the rest of the players i don't know much about them but from what i see when i watch manchester united games most of them have to be removed from manchester united because they are not getting good results, they play like they have no desire to play especially midfield and defense players are a real disaster. the new coach will have to spend a lot of time to restructure the team and only then will we all see the results. i think manchester united fans will have a few more years of patience to see the team have good results

I am really not going to be surprised if Manchester United gets further down the table.

to be honest it would be a surprise if they ended up in the top 4, with this bad performance of them being above the top 8 is already something incredible in my opinion, I expected them to be in the 10th to 15th position but until they surprised me

Bruno previous manchester united match had missed a penalty, it should have goal in but no. If it's ronaldo maybe a bigger chance will come in a goal and if it doesn't then he will keep trying to get his best chance. The placement of the back line still doesn't suit Manchester United so it's not just the players but the coach that keeps the players out of focus.

West Ham's performance did experience a decline in the Premier League towards the end of the season, they are in 7th position now. This means
that there is a possibility that West Ham will not play in European competition next season. Therefore winning the Europa League trophy is another
way for West Ham to play in the Champions League next season. Moreover, West Ham is already in the semifinals, which means West Ham only needs
to beat two more teams to win the Europa League trophy. Fortunately Barcelona have been eliminated from the Europa League, so the competitors
who are still surviving today have player qualities that are not much different from West Ham. So West Ham's chances of winning the Europa League
trophy are indeed quite large. I believe West Ham can beat Frankfurt in the semifinals and in the final there is a possibility that West Ham will face Leipzig.
Knowing that Leipzig is a strong team from the Bundesliga, maybe West Ham will find it difficult to face Leipzig, West Ham could have won
the Europa League trophy on penalty shootout.

What's the use of new players if they still can't fix the problem of Internal blaming between players and Coach.
Next season will probably be a little different because it is certain that Ten Hag will remodel this squad because even though there are many expensive players, it can be said that it is not very useful now.
Their defenders need to be completely overhauled, at least looking for players who can play defensively, not being made fun of everywhere

Both West Ham and Frankfurt aim for the Europa League title. And so no matter how weak their performance in their own league is, they will try their best to perform well in the Europa League match. Frankfurt's performance against Barcelona was excellent. At the same time, West Ham is a team strong enough. So we can expect to enjoy the same competitive semi-finals.

Moyes made West Ham look brilliant at UEL this time, It's not easy to advance to the semi-finals. but the challenge against Frankfurt is quite big because we all know frankfurt managed to beat barca perfectly. but I'm more sure west ham will win.

this will be the most difficult match for David Moyes with west ham united if they face Frankfurt in the semi-finals of the Europa league these two things are not an easy job even though west ham have played very consistently this season but the opponents they faced once eliminated Barcelona in the quarterfinals but whatever can happen in the world of football, maybe west ham united will benefit because they will act as hosts first without them having more motivation at least to win the Europa league title this season in order to qualify for the Champions League next season

I am really not going to be surprised if Manchester United gets further down the table. They have played really bad and there is no excuse for that. And the defense of Manchester United is absolutely horrible.

This is the fact, exactly almost all lines in Man United are bad performances so far, moreover, the defense is really horrible. I agree with you

The only player who is consistent in my opinion is Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United right now who is trying his best to salvage something from each and every match.

Silly of him why he should be in this kind of club
Although he is a super start of football, he cannot work alone, he needs all players to play well and support each other in order to perform very well. But so far as we know, all that in Man United, it really doesn't work.

Moyes made West Ham look brilliant at UEL this time, It's not easy to advance to the semi-finals. but the challenge against Frankfurt is quite big because we all know frankfurt managed to beat barca perfectly. but I'm more sure west ham will win.

Eintracht Frankfurt may also have high motivation to win moreover after defeating a big club like Barcelona, I am sure that their motivation and spirit are rising up very much. But on the other hand, West Ham will also not miss this chance. This may be quite interesting to see them.

For me west ham are the favourite team to lift the Europa League cup this season because they have been consistent in the competition in Europe and Also domestically too. They drop lots of there first team players in there game against Chelsea on Sunday and still did well, is only on the ending period of the game Chelsea scored three winner. Antonio, Declan Rice were rested with the Europa League semi final at mind, we are talking about Frankfurt to be a difficult opponent because they were lucky to remove the Spanish giant out of the competition but let's not forget what West ham did to Lyon.

I  agree with you on that. The team are struggling recently because of their poor performance in the league this season, and the players shows no sign of improvement it keep continuing. The more we think things will get better the more it get worse, I think is time the team come up with a new plan, they should recruit new players who are ready to play and take the teams to the next level.
