UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Fakhrulenclix]

I am not a big fan of Ronaldo starting but his poor form is due to lack of preseason training, and that’s why he’s not in a proper shape to dictate games and that’s a big reason why he’s warming the benches. Furthermore I feel that the entire team didn’t do enough yesterday, and I’ll expect Ten Hag to heavily rotate once sport resumes again (I’m assuming this week’s games will be postponed).

before in the EPL, MU showed a good performance and the strategy for the match was really right (putting Maguire and Cristiano on the bench) but when both played as starters, MU lost to Sociedad.  In the future it looks like Ten Hag will have to repeat his strategy and not use Maguire and Cristiano as starters.

Ten Hag seemed to change tactics and rotate players and that proved ineffective but I don't agree if Ronaldo is to blame for this defeat, he is a target man because he doesn't have sufficient backing to score goals.
Overall I see Manchester United's game unlike some of the previous games which have won 4 Premier League games in a row.
because a lot of player rotation may be the main reason for coach Ten Hag's tactics not to run smoothly. but this is inseparable from Ten Hag's concoction to be able to play many players in order to be able to face the tight competition schedule.

Fenerbahce finally broke a leg against Dynamo Kyiv. Honestly it was really seeming like a draw game in the last minutes. But Batshuayi saved the team in his first official match with them. Gustavo Henrique was a player who was being criticised for not making a big effort for his team before. But I think that he has increased his credit by scoring a really great header in this game.

Honestly this game might have finished by even a defeat for Fenerbahce. Because while it was 1-1 Dynamo Kyiv found some critical chances. Altay's saves were really important for the team to stay in the game mentally. I don't know why they lost their focus for some time either. Maybe they won by 2-1 but they need to play more consistent during the whole game in the other group games. This is a group they can finish as the leader.

Coming to the Europa now, Harry Maguire managed to get on the starting lineup and again, you find Manchester United facing difficulty in soring a goal despite several chances created and on target balls. Unfortunately, Lisandro Martinez committed a foul that cost the team a penalty and a goal.

Having Harry Maguire on the team and as it's captain doesn't bring out the best in Manchester United.

As rumors circulated that England national players were always prioritized at Man United. Maguire often makes many mistakes after mistakes and his lack of control over strategy destroys the main goal. The defeat to Real Sociedad made Man United inconsistent, plus Ronaldo looked frustrated because he was annoyed at not getting a penalty. Everything is so messed up right? It would be nice if Erik Ten Hag still rested these 2 players is a good choice. We looked at the game against Arsenal before finally being put on in the second half.

Dynamo Kyiv defense made a huge mistake in the last minutes. Quality forwards like Batshuayi don't forgive mistakes like this. Apart from this big mistake, Dynamo Kyiv actually played a good game. From time to time, there were parts in the match where they played better than Fenerbahçe. But ultimately Fenerbahce won the match. I'm really curious about the result of the second match in the group. Because there was a good rivalry between these two teams.

Here, I think it is necessary to open a separate parenthesis for Dynamo Kiev. Their country is at war. They came here without playing a league game. They did not have many opportunities to keep their match condition at a high level. But they still did great things and won good matches in European cups. 💓 Dynamo Kyiv

It was a really disappointing result from Manchester United. Seeing Maguire in the starting eleven made me uncomfortable about the match immediately. Because it is like the team can't win even one match when he plays. Anyway, Ronaldo was finally in the starting eleven in a match after a long break. He found so many goal opportunities but couldn't benefit from any of them. Actually he scored one but he was caught offside by a small gap. But I wouldn't blame him for this loss of course. Because he didn't play properly until that match.

I understand Erik ten Hag's choices for this match. They needed to rotate the squad to prevent any fatigue for the crucial players before the next Premier League match. But this was still a match that could have got one point at worst. Because their first half performance and the one after conceding the goal were impressive.

This is the risk when they playing with some of reserved players that the players looks cannot collaborated each other and it just happend yesterday to Manchester United that although they were dominated the match but Manchester United cannot created the opportunity to scoring goals and on the second half Ten Hag has realized this situation with played Bruno Fernandes and Sancho but seems it's too late because they cannot develop their game but maybe this match will be different if Sancho, Rashford and Fernandes playing since the beginning of match

A narrow loss to Real Sociedad is a very common thing and after all the goal was scored on a penalty kick by Real Sociedad's Mendez. If only there was no penalty, then the match would have ended in a draw even though Manchester United would not have benefited from that result either, but at least it would have been better than losing just by a thin score like that. I'm still sure that Ten Hag will carry out better tactics when Manchester United start playing again this season

[fzkto]

Manchester United really have problems in the team since they lose to such weak opponents not only in the Premier League, but also in the Europa League, especially in a home game. I don't think they can win the return game in Spain, although Manchester United have always been unpredictable and maybe not all is lost for them yet. Still, it's a shame that they lost a home game.

If you really watched the match yesterday, you will discover that Manchester United didn't play so badly, they only lacked the chemistry that will give them goals. The like of Ronaldo is no longer a young man and he must realise that honestly. The runnings he could not do and to get the goals no way, even the air movement he is known for didn't work. Another aged player that wasn't upto the desired performance is Casemiro and that shows that whenever Eric Ten is benching them in English Premier league we shouldn't complain. They have played their peak and they should give way for younger players.

Yes, I wasn't able to watch the Manchester United and Real Sociedad game in full because there were many other interesting games at the time. For example Lazio and Feyenoord or Omonia and Sheriff, who occasionally show amazing football. Frankly, the Manchester game was boring and the stats were about the same. In the old days Manchester United would have beaten Real Sociedad at Old Trafford. You could say that this is the first home defeat between these teams.

After all, even though Manchester United lost but they will still be fine because the two teams in Group E are not the teams that are considered for qualification. But yes, if Manchester United underestimate them then maybe Sheriff Tiraspol again can make a surprise but indeed, Manchester United should have played a main player yesterday to get full points. Because Manchester United really have to play a main player against Real Sociedad, then they can play casually against two other teams by playing second-tier players.

However, Manchester United's performance in the first match was not good. They are defeated. But still I would say the strongest team in Group E is Manchester United. United's performance in the last few games in the Premier League has been steady. But with Ten Hag giving Ronaldo and Maguire a chance in his squad, United's performance once again deteriorated. Hope they will perform better in the next match.

Erik ten Hag undoubtedly has goals and objectives, and he may have his own justification for not playing the first-team squad in the game against Real Sociedad. Manchester United may be more focused on winning the Premier League than the Europa League this year.

It is a pity that the players that Erik ten Hag chose to start their first match in the 2022 Europa League against Real Sociedad did not put in a strong effort so they suffered defeat.

No penalty there. What an unreasonable decision! But on the other hand, Manchester United has a 0% win percentage when Cristiano and Maguire started this season. Ten Hag certainly gets a pretty good indicator of its best side and who's not on it.

Fenerbahçe started the group with 3 points with a good game. As Dinamo kiev kept cooling the game down, Fenerbahce increased the pressure and won. We saw from the beginning that they didn't really come to play, they were lying on the ground. Lucescu's post-match statement was a complete comedy. He was either joking or he has a disease.

[Swordsoffreedom]

One of the surprising result for today that Roma has lose from Ludogorets and apparently Ludogorests know how to counter Roma strategy that during the match they successfully locked Dybala movement and he hasn't get many chances to scoring goals and the result 2-1 is deserved to Ludogorests because they playing better and for Roma they only can score 1 goal from 6 shot on goals i think after seeing this statistics there is something problem with their forward line because they looks wasted several opportunity to scoring goals

Although Bulgarian professional league cannot be compared to the Italian league in terms of quality. But PFC Ludogorets Razgrad has been consistent this season. They have one of the best defenses in the league, which has conceded few goals. This kind of result always happens when the bigger team underrates an unknown club. The game was balanced and they didn't show Roma any respect and they took their goal-scoring opportunities. Roma has been very inconsistent considering their recent result, I am sure Mourinho would find the solution to their attacking failures. 

Although Roma lost this match, they tried their best to earn points in this match. But they had something wrong. Ludogorets scored both goals thanks to the stupidity of the Roma defenders. I was also totally surprised by Ludogorets' second goal. Despite Roma having so many defenders, they couldn't counter it. I would say that Roma's midfield and forward players played well but they lost this match due to poor defence. Mourinho should find the weaknesses in his defenders.If they do not solve it quickly, they will lose points in the upcoming matches of Serie A.

Two consecutive defeats experienced by AS Roma in two different competitions clearly made the players' mental collapse.  Jose Mourinho must immediately evaluate his squad and return Roma to winning ways.  This season AS Roma are favored by many parties, being able to compete with the top teams in Serie A and also being a serious contender for the European league, but with the results in the last two matches, many people are starting to be pessimistic about the existence of Roma this season.  But in my opinion, Roma still have enough time to immediately develop the right strategy and I am sure Mourinho will take Roma further on the European stage.

At the start of the season, we all thought Roma was stronger and more stable than the previous season. Perhaps this season they will fight for the title. But now it seems we were wrong. The Roma team's performance has deteriorated. They have performed poorly in the last two matches. They have also lost against teams like Ludogorets. Conceded four goals against Udinese in Serie A. Weaknesses in both defence and attack have become quite visible. Mourinho needs to quickly address his team's weaknesses. Otherwise, Roma will gradually fall further behind.

In this group B they have a big chance because their toughest opponent is only Rennes but when they look at their match against Kyiv even though they played quite well in this match, there are still some things that they need to improve, such as reducing errors, especially in marking opposing players because sometimes it is it boomeranged for them when marking but failed.

At least they didn't make a lot of fatal mistakes there lol.
But in this case, it's a bit regrettable when they can't score a goal which makes me feel frustrated to see their match because in fact they can still win this match.
Now there's no point in regretting this they are currently on holiday in the EPL because it's a sad day there and they have to focus on the second game.

[LGD2Business]

Manchester United's loss may come as a surprise, but Real Sociedad must also be given credit. They fought well and won by a penalty goal. They had a huge advantage in the group. If they win the matches they will play at home, they can be the leader of the group. Manchester United will try to make up for the mistake in other matches. No more room for error.
The victory of Ferencvaros against Trabzonspor is an important step for the Hungarians. Turkish football, on the other hand, continues its bad course. Unfortunately, despite such a large squad and expensive transfers, success is still not achieved. Trabzonspor should have been the leader of this group, but even their qualifying the group is now suspicious.

I also believe that Real Sociedad didn't deserve that penalty. I accept that Martinez's arm wasn't next to his body but the ball came from his leg to the arm. Martinez had nothing to do in that kind of situation as it wasn't on purpose. The decision was too harsh as a result. I can say the same thing for the penalty Ronaldo was expecting to be given as well. He also fell too easily and it was obvious that he did it himself. I didn't see the defender pulling his shirt etc..

Even though Martinez's situation was checked by VAR the decision still didn't change. I really don't understand how they can make this kind of mistakes while there is a very useful system like this. No penalty should have been given in this match. This cost Manchester United three points in the end.

In this case, even though Sociedad doesn't have a big enough name compared to MU, in terms of their performance, they are just as good and of course when MU can't make a goal, Sociedad's biggest chance of winning can happen and that was proven in this match.
But even if that's the case, I still believe that MU will qualify from this group stage in the Europa League because at the moment their toughest opponent is only Sociedad.

In my opinion, United need to maintain an already solid formation, which is to hone their sharpness and cohesiveness to be more consistent in every game (and not rotate everything or only give Maguire a portion of playing time). I think Ronaldo needs more time on the pitch he loses form. The more he plays the more he will score goals
