UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[rahmad2nd]

~snip~

Both Barcelona and Manchester United have strong squads. There are many star players in their squad. But despite having a lot of talented players, the two teams are still not stable. And so the performance of these two teams against each other cannot be predicted now. Their performance will depend on Xavi and Ten Hag's match strategy. Both the teams will become stronger if the match strategy and bonding between the players is good. Both have the propensity to win the Europa League title. But since the first match is Barcelona's home match. So I will put Barcelona ahead in this match. Barcelona is very strong at home.

Both teams have made improvements this season , a lot different from the previous season. Barcelona had quite a tough time in the champions leagues and got kicked out in the group stages of the competition while Manchester United are looking to continue their campaign in the Europa league  after the break. Their meeting in the playoffs will show how well both teams have improved and are ready to compete in European top competitions this season. Both have good squads and capabilities to win, I believe the game can go either way.

Trom the pattern and style of play, Manchester United is better than Barcelona. and how come, because in my personal opinion, Ten Hag has better abilities than Xavi for his Barcelona. just look, now Manchester United is better under the tutelage of Erik Ten Hag. while Barcelona, ​​actually they have players who have quality in their respective lines. it's just that, the problem is with Xavi.

I don't understand the patterns and strategies that Xavi applies to his troops. Barcelona's defeat in the Champoins League was purely wrong with Xavi's strategy and some of his players. it could be, Xavi repeated the same mistake when Barcelona met Manchester United in the playoffs later. when it comes to player depth, I don't doubt it. especially for Lewandowski, it's just that Barcelona's midfielders still need a lot of experience. plus, Raphinha's performance is very dubious. however, I hope Xavi has learned from his mistakes and the weaknesses of his team.

On the United side, Manchester United could have transformed into a team that is able to compete with teams that are above their level for now. there is only one problem left, Ten Hag needs a pure sticker, plus an attacking midfielder. If United get him in January, the playoff game will be even more difficult for us to predict.

I don't know what the result will be, but as we are talking on the forum right now, I think the Manchester United-Barcelona match is being talked about all over the world.  There was no interest in the European league as before, but the teams eliminated from UCL definitely made this place very exciting.  Since Manchester United could not finish the group as the leader, they had to stay in these matchups.  I think Barcelona is better and will pass the elimination.

Indeed, no one knows who will win that match. Discussions about the big match between Barcelona and Manchester United will of course be very interesting because basically both teams have a large fan base.

Even though this match will actually be played in mid-February, I have found that some betting sites tend to think that Barcelona is the favorite. On the form of his team Xavi and Barcelona deserve it, but I think there will be some changes in the future when the league starts.

[hahay]

Since Lewandowski's arrival at Camp Nou, Depay has rarely had minutes to play, so it's only natural that he hasn't contributed much to Barcelona which has made his market value also drop, but as an option to replace Lewandowski he's still quite good. But on the other hand, there is still no suitable replacement for Lewandowski's role, but the play-off round is still a long time away. We still don't know what will happen, let's just wait.

Robert Lewandowski have impressive performance with Barcelona and success become top scorer awhile with 13 goals in La Liga, I don't think Depay have chance to replace position from Lewandowski after biggest contribution until 14 matches. Still can't guarantee with Depay get regular position in Europe League trough Barcelona have important match in play off round against Manchester United, I think although success qualify to next round seems difficult for Depay get position in starting eleven.

Barcelona still have life and die match against Manchester United in play off round, due World Cup over and several player need recovery I don't think which one have favorite can win in this play off round match, but Manchester United have show with good performance after winning from Burnley at EFL Cup last night.

Regarding Manchester United in the European League play-off round, it seems that Barcelona will continue to use their flagship players and Lewandowski will be the spearhead of their main attack. Manchester United is eager to rise to its best performance and its victory over Burnley in the EFL is a good starting capital when playing their next competition.

If you are aware of it, Memphis Depay's elimination from Barcelona's main squad was not because Memphis Depay's performance was bad, but Memphis Depay was injured. But lucky for Depay, even though at Barcelona Depay was injured but when the World Cup started Memphis Depay had recovered from injury, so Memphis Depay was still able to play at the World Cup yesterday.
So, if Memphis Depay has recovered, it is very possible that Memphis Depay will be paired with Lewandowski for the Barcelona match later and of course it will be better in attack that Barcelona has.

But regarding Barcelona who will play against Manchester United in the play-off round, basically it is a difficult prediction.
Because Barcelona's performance is not balanced with the good results they have achieved in La Liga and also in Europe, because if Barcelona can make a more balanced performance between the two then I believe Barcelona will be able to beat Manchester United. But yes, this result is of course still uncertain, because if Xavi does not maintain his good performance then of course Barcelona will be knocked out of the Europa League again.

[Velvet78]

I think Lewandowski's performance will play a key role in the Manchester United matchup. Because he hasn't been very active in big games so far either in the La Liga or the Champions League. It's like they have lost all of those games so far if I'm not wrong. If he improves his performance and make a score contribution especially then Barcelona can have a bigger chance to eliminate Manchester United.

They really don't have an easy task to perform here. Manchester United have been quite good in the Europa League so far. They haven't faced a bigger opponent than Real Sociedad maybe but I still don't think they will stay weak against Barcelona. It should be a close competition.

Lewandowski, Messi or Ronaldo's fitness is still excellent. And I wouldn't be surprised if they play until 38/39. I agree with you that Lewandowski can easily play until 38. But I don't think he will be effective at 38 for Serie A or Premier League. If Lewandowski can maintain his fitness, he can stay with Barcelona for a long time. Barcelona are going back to their old tiki taka tactics. And so I think if Lewandowski's fitness is good, he can stay with Barcelona until he is 38 and continue his good performances.

Capello said that in Qatar we saw the final death of tiki taka. I am inclined to trust him, because I came to the conclusion that even in it golden years, this strategy was nonsense and gave results only due to the highest skill of the performers. I don't think that Xavi will last long in Barcelona and that tiki taka will be relevant there (although it would be good since I'm a Real Madrid supporter). But in general, this will not prevent Lewandowski from playing until the age of 38-39 - La Liga is not as intense as the Premier League.

Spanish side didn't play much of tiki taka but most of the tactics did go well as planned for them

That doesn't mean on should go ahead to say that tiki taka is dead yes I know that football has grown to another level still

Lewandoski will play longer than we even imagine winning la liga can still be achieved the club and players look promising for the future

With the performance that Lewandowski has shown since he first joined Barcelona, there is hope that he can last longer with this club. He answered a need that Barcelona had not had in recent times, he also managed to adapt very quickly and it didn't take long for him to score goal after goal. Even now he leads the top scorer standings in La Liga. That suggests that he really was going to be playing for Barcelona for a long time until his age completely stopped him. From his 14 appearances for Barcelona he has scored 13 goals and that was in his first season. Satisfying statistics for a striker who has just experienced a new atmosphere in La Liga.

But in general, this will not prevent Lewandowski from playing until the age of 38-39 - La Liga is not as intense as the Premier League.

Tiki taka was an impressive tactic in its time, but for now many coaches and teams can anticipate their moves and make their defenses difficult to penetrate. This tactic might bring the team to control the match, but just mastering the match is not enough if you cannot penetrate the opponent's defense and score goals. I don't mean to be dismissive and consider this tiki taka useless, it's just that innovation has to be developed with the dominant ball possession they get.

When a team has players such as Iniesta, Xavi, Garcia, David Villa, you can play tiki-taka and more, but it was a unique historical moment when initially the Spanish team assembled in 2008-2012 the strongest composition, to compete with which no team was able to.
Then also Barcelona, using the main backbone of the Spanish national team players Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Busquets built a team around them, adding the genius of Leo Messi. And we got a tiki-taka, then when these players of the Spanish team were no longer so good, this tactic "fell apart", because it was based on the unique skill of individual players and their chemistry within the team.

Is it possible that Xavi will partner Memphis Depay and Lewandowski on the front lines? It seems that this will happen considering that the two of them have similarities in terms of attackers, as a target man Lewandowski might be put up front and Memphis depay is likely to play the role of second striker.

At Barcelona, that's the reality, I can't understand why in the league they were so impressive, while in European competition, their performance had dropped a lot, did they start to have difficulty adapting to European competition, which made them have to be eliminated and had to be willing to go down to the European league in two consecutive seasons. It looks like Xavi and Erik ten hag will compete with each other in the European league play-offs this time, both of them have their respective capacities in their squad and that will make the match even more exciting.

Sevilla - PSV is another tough matchup in this round of the tournament.

Sevilla are known by a very successful team in the Europa League. They have 4 titles in last 10 seasons here. This is quite impressive and maybe scary for PSV. However the problem is that Sevilla are having a really bad season now. They are under the danger of relegating from the La Liga. Because their performance has been bad in not only the Champions League but also the La Liga. I don't think they would focus on the Europa League more at this point. They have no choice other than focusing on the La Liga matches to save themselves from the relegation zone. This might be an opportunity for PSV to take advantage of.

the match between barcelona and manchester united is indeed a big match that is quite interesting to the attention of football lovers because these two teams are both trained by coaches who have good quality and also their squad is inhabited by high quality players. So you can say that Manchester United and Barcelona have a pretty strong advantage in their squad. lewandowksi and de jong are the most interesting players to watch in the match that will be live in February. In the Manchester United squad, there may be Casemiro who returned to face the Laliga team after he previously wore a Real Madrid uniform before moving to Manchester United, of course he has enough experience in dealing with Barcelona.

As we remembered the last meet in 2019 in the Champions League quarter-final. Mu lost 1-0 and 3-0, and never created any goal. Messi becomes a star at Camp Nou by creating 2 goals and winning. So MU tries to revenge this time, but with the condition, the team is not well after Ronaldo left, A coach must think to replace a new attacker to fill up a weak position If want to revenge the situation.

[X-ray]

Lewandowski feel disappointed caused by barcelona got kicked out from UCL yet he can do nothing about that's why he must accept the truth. MU gonna be a very tough opponent for barcelona. MU has been on fire in the curabao cup and marcus rashford may become the one who will be a thread for barcelona. Xavi will be losing some players like de jong that may be going to the MU. Im sure that MU will able to defeat barcelona in the first leg of europa league. I think that both have a capable squad to defeat one to each other. MU gonna be on fire against barcelona.

I am confused about what you wrote above.
First, you say MU has been on fire in the curabao cup and marcus rashford may become the one who will be a thread for barcelona, even though Rashford was defending Manchester United.

Im doing a little type. It must be a threat not thread.

Second, Xavi will be losing some players like de jong that may be going to the MU, in fact there has been no official agreement from the two clubs for the transfer of De Jong.

Since i were saying may be and the transfer has not yet opened. You can't expect the transfer to be done asap.

Third, You sure that MU will able to defeat barcelona in the first leg of europa league, after that you say both teams have a squad capable of beating each other.
Obviously, this is very confusing to me.

That's why MU will be able to beat barcelona caused by it has capable squad while barcelona does it too. I believe MU is far better in this case.

And we got a tiki-taka, then when these players of the Spanish team were no longer so good, this tactic "fell apart", because it was based on the unique skill of individual players and their chemistry within the team.

Both Barcelona and Spain had golden teams in those years and more important they have perfect tactic tiki-taka which helped both Barcelona and Spain dominated football in Champions League, World Cup and Euro. It is more important because beyond Barcelona players, Spain had good players from Real Madrid that make them stronger.

Later after many months and years, other coaches, other teams figured out ways to constrain tiki-taka. The domination of Barcelona and Spain started to decrease. Next their players from golden era became older and young players can not replaced them entirely. At the end, Barcelona and Spain lost their domination.

the match between barcelona and manchester united is indeed a big match that is quite interesting to the attention of football lovers because these two teams are both trained by coaches who have good quality and also their squad is inhabited by high quality players. So you can say that Manchester United and Barcelona have a pretty strong advantage in their squad

It is interesting because both of them want to win titles as a start to send their crises. They are in rebuilding time and a trophy means a lot for their process. Players will be  more interested in joining a winning team rather than a failed team.

Both Barcelona and Manchester United are failed teams in the past several seasons and they need to change it in this season.

I think Lewandowski's performance will play a key role in the Manchester United matchup. Because he hasn't been very active in big games so far either in the La Liga or the Champions League. It's like they have lost all of those games so far if I'm not wrong.

They really don't have an easy task to perform here. Manchester United have been quite good in the Europa League so far. They haven't faced a bigger opponent than Real Sociedad maybe but I still don't think they will stay weak against Barcelona. It should be a close competition.

Robert is a great striker but should do teamwork. The fans miss the MSN. Barca needs trophies this time.

Manchester United vs Barcelona match will be one of the best games in the Europa League knockout play-off round.
Interestingly, the current level of the two teams is not much different. Both have not been consistent.

[CryptoBuds]

On the United side, Manchester United is not an easy opponent to beat by Barcelona. Currently, Erik Ten Hag's squad is on the right track. they just need even tighter chemistry and bonding. plus, it only requires a sharp center forward. so, this match will offer an interesting match.

Both Barcelona and Manchester United have strong squads. There are many star players in their squad. But despite having a lot of talented players, the two teams are still not stable. And so the performance of these two teams against each other cannot be predicted now. Their performance will depend on Xavi and Ten Hag's match strategy. Both the teams will become stronger if the match strategy and bonding between the players is good. Both have the propensity to win the Europa League title. But since the first match is Barcelona's home match. So I will put Barcelona ahead in this match. Barcelona is very strong at home.

Barcelona have good winning results in camp nou, there chances of beating manchester united is very high. Xavi Hernandez is the perfect man to lead the barça to their glory in the europa league. On the other hand, Erik ten hag is very tactical in his past few games and there's every single chance for him to have a draw tie in the first game against the catalans. However the red devils might make shocking result in the game because both their defendline and midfield is currently in shape, their only problem would be the attacking force.

Both Manchester United and Barcelona are faring better than they did at the start of the season. They have identified their weaknesses and are trying to make themselves stronger. But they are still not strong enough. Their performance is still erratic. However, the Barcelona team remains very confident at Camp Nou. They are capable of performing well at Camp Nou. And I believe the Barcelona team will not make any mistakes at Camp Nou. And they will win against Manchester United.

The reward from winning the trophy can be used to buy the new players for the upcoming season but since barcelona has been spending lots of money last season and if barcelona will not able to win a trophy then people will be asking about whether xavi will still capable to be a barcelona's coach or not for upcoming season. The problem is barcelona was going to the europa league after it was losing in UCL. That means if MU has better motivation to win europa league rather than barcelona which must be degrading its expectation to win UCL become europa league caused by barcelona was not able going to the last 16.

So far this season, Barcelona's performance without Robert Lewandowsky ends in a draw or loss. This is good evidence that as it stands now FC Barcelona's squad needs another vibrant central attacker that is capable of covering up for Robert Lewandowski. Is true that Lewandowsky hardly goes on injury, but considering his age now I think the club shouldn't depend completely on him as this may be so unhealthy to their performance likewise result.

If Barcelona can maintain what they displayed in their last game in this game, I believe they will have their way to achieve victory from Manchester united. Barcelona coach will not allow Barcelona to loose their first game after the break than to maintain the strategies that brought them so far in this competition. Manchester united will surely score a goal from this game but it will be difficult for them to win Barcelona because many things has changed positively in Barcelona.

The Barcelona team has already been dependent on Lewandoski since his signing which is wrong because for a team like Barcelona that has been through a lot of difficulties since the departure of Messi they need to build the team in a way that one player will not determine the strength of the team because that has been their biggest weakness lately. Barcelona need a replacement for most of their players not just Lewandoski because from their performance, I think if they have the option to compete for a regular starter in the team it will help to improve the performance of the players.

Sevilla - PSV is another tough matchup in this round of the tournament.

Sevilla are known by a very successful team in the Europa League. They have 4 titles in last 10 seasons here. This is quite impressive and maybe scary for PSV. However the problem is that Sevilla are having a really bad season now. They are under the danger of relegating from the La Liga. Because their performance has been bad in not only the Champions League but also the La Liga. I don't think they would focus on the Europa League more at this point. They have no choice other than focusing on the La Liga matches to save themselves from the relegation zone. This might be an opportunity for PSV to take advantage of.

If they have to choose i think Sevilla will be more focus to avoid relegation zone and survive on Laliga than targetting europa league trophy this because if Sevilla relegated from Laliga i think they cannot able to playing at european competitions anymore so i am sure the current manager was already realized this that rather than playing at Segunda division for next season so it's better for Sevilla to failed on europa league than in Laliga and the opposite condition from PSV that this team joining race to gets Eredivise trophy with Ajax and Feyenoord and even they are in the good shape after finish on second position below to Arsenal and against Sevilla obviously PSV will aiming full points so this match almost certain will belongs to PSV

Since Messi left Barcelona, the Barcelona team has been unstable. Barcelona management acted stupid. They released Messi without finding a suitable replacement. They considered young players like Ansu Fati as Messi's replacement. They are still paying for this mistake. Lewandowski is quite an experienced player. They might be able to compensate for the lack of Messi in the Barcelona team. But Barcelona's defense is not strong enough. Xavi should try to tighten up their defense now. If the defense is not strong, it will be difficult to win the title.
