UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Docnaster]

Manchester United form in the Europa league  have been at top level,  they have only lost one and won 5 games. The playoff fixture against Barcelona will be test of their consistency level because it looks like they are finally finding the balance under Ten Hag's management. Manchester United perform better against top teams and Barcelona will be no different from others but it is a 50/50 game and anyone could win.

United has been starting to be even more mature. The new united under ten hag has become a new form of united which has been fulfilled by so many young talented players. it can be considered as the most difficult match for MU. Barcelona has a very good result in h2h against MU. this is the time for MU to break such rumour if MU was an easy opponent for barcelona. this gonna be death battle for both. I think that i will pick MU in this case seeing from the impressive performance in EPL.
MU is also having good performance during the group qualified in europa league too. MU is so underrated at this moment.

I think Manchester United are experiencing the Ten Hag effect, I will clearly agree that Erik Ten Hag has impacted positively to the team with his disciplinary measures, his tactics and style of play is now proving productive which we can obviously see on the team's outstanding performance lately, the most surprising part of it for me is how well he has transformed Marcus Rashford to be more lethal in front of goal.

I really acknowledge man united board and I'll attribute Manchester united'a results and performance to them. It wasn't easy for Eric Ten Hag in his initial arrival. He's done a wonderful job internally during the FIFA world cup break. Ten hag and Arteta's success story this season is enough for other management to learn that it takes time to build a formidable team. If Ten hag wasn't given enough time, before now, the team will be facing the same problem as Chelsea.

Even though there are many smaller teams in the Europa League the champions have still been big teams for many years. Still teams like Villarreal and Frankfurt won the title in a row in the recent two years though. This might have made people give more chance to such teams from now on. But this season looks different to me.

Frankfurt was not playing in europa league again. This time there are so many big clubs that were playing in the play off. Some clubs were also at the top of their domestic league which gives different view to the current europa league.
This time europea league looks more interesting compared with last year. there are so many changes happened with the current competition. im so glad that to see so many big clubs were clashing between one to the each other.

I agree that the teams that are at the top of their leagues do have a bigger chance. Just to name the big names Arsenal and Barcelona will be the big names. I think europa will be different this year a lot more because there is more prestige to it, like conference league is the lower end now, which means that europa is not the bottom one anymore and winning that should give some returns.

I understand it's not a lot of money and not a lot of reputation neither since the biggest clubs of Europe do not really win it, but this year is a bit different and it could happen. We have to just wait and see, we still have time for a smaller club to win.

Yeah just see that MU was able beating manchester city which one of candidate in UCL. That proves that MU has capability to send back barcelona to the camp nou. People were under rating MU at this moment while MU's performance is starting to go up gradually. I think that MU gonna be so crazy to beat barcelona. MU needs to create a new record that to make sure if it will not lose against barcelona again. This season there are so many clubs competing between one to the each other. The competition become even more stricter since some big clubs must played in the play off.
There's no reason for MU not to win against barcelona. Barcelona is quite easy for MU right now. I can't wait the match between both. that's gonna be another hype match

The Ten Hag effect has begun to unite with Manchester United, Barcelona must be careful with the revival that Manchester United recently experienced after Ten Hag was able to mix the team together to become more solid. Manchester United had just won a big game, the victory over Manchester City sent a dangerous signal for Xavi. Manchester United could be a big obstacle for Barcelona to move on to the next round.

Even though they were behind by 1 goal in the 60th minute, Manchester United were able to reverse the position through their 2 goals. It was a very extraordinary match for them and it was a red flag for Barcelona who will face Manchester United in the play off round. They won victory after victory and with a good game too, this is their 5th win in a row. Barcelona must be really aware of the strategy that will be used by Erik Ten Hag.

[KTChampions]

By the way, I thought that in order to repeat the situation when one country sent 5 clubs to the Champions League at once (which happens infrequently) like Germany this season, the Europa League should be won by one of these clubs: Bayer, Sevilla, Roma (not a fact since Roma can get into the top 4), Union Berlin (also not a fact).
What do you think if you take this group of teams, what are their chances for the title against all the others? I think about 20 percent (mainly due to Roma).

Sevilla have very bad season in La Liga but they are a big name in Europa League and they might prove it again in this season.
Roma are not too strong but they are improving and with Mourinho, they can play with relevant formations to challenge other clubs.
Bayer are big name in Germany but I don't think they have good ability to win in Europa League format.

So will we see a final match between Roma and Sevilla? I don't check they belong to different branch or a same branch so that they can meet earlier than the final match.
Seasons ago Roma tried to hire Monchi to build up long term plan for them but after two seasons, they were separated and Monchi returned to Sevilla. If two clubs meet in Europa League, it will be a return of Monchi to Roma after a few years.

Sevilla in the Europa League is like Real Madrid in the Champions Line. If I'm not mistaken, the only club to win the Europa League three times in a row is Sevilla, an impressive achievement (and quite ironic since starting the season in the Champions League, Sevilla got into the Europa League from third place and won it again) but this season they have no chance . The team is too weak, today they lost to Girona and finally bogged down in the relegation zone.

Manchester United's performance is getting better and better now. The play offs are only a month away from being carried out and seeing Manchester United's performance today against Manchester City, I think Barcelona should be more vigilant because their matches are getting better and better.
Manchester United's midfield is quite good at providing good passes now on the other hand their youngsters are also on the wing like Garnacho and Rashford need to be watched out for even though Barcelona also have youngsters who are not much different from them.

If you ask me, I will say that the only advantage Manchester united has over Barcelona is the defense. Despite all the winnings Manchester united has achieved, they hardly concede more than one goal per match, and this is a complete reverse in Barcelona's side. In the last 7 matches, Barcelona has conceded more than they should and this is a sign of defensive deficiency. As per attackers and midfielders, they are well-to-do.

I think Man United's performance is slightly better than Barcelona, where in their last 7 matches Man United always won, while Barcelona had to draw 2 times and win 5 times. Man United also managed to score 17 goals and only conceded 3 goals, while Barcelona created 16 goals and conceded 9 goals. The numbers above are not a guarantee for a victory because there are indeed other factors that have a big influence on a match. But those statistics can still be considered that Man United is currently having a better trend than Barcelona, and of course, they have a chance to beat Barcelona.

And I also have come to full agreement with you that Manchester United are not slightly but currently better than Barcelona in terms of the current form of the both sides. We haven't really scored a lot of goals but the defense has improved with Harry Maguire also been dropped on the bench.

If same tactical intelligence from Erik Ten Hag would be used same way against Barcelona, they're of no match to us ( Manchester United ) completely. My scare has to be Pedri, Gavi, Dembele and Robert Lewandoski the rest can be well handled, but if according to Ten Hag the team are together, they have a chance to win Barcelona during the play off next month.

I'd love to see Manchester United take this great form to the month of April

Ten Hag is doing his job at Man Utd pretty well, and it shows how a good combination of players is not enough and a team also need a good plan and good tactics to make each player more comfortable in their position and duties on the field, the first match against Barcelona will very difficult for them especially because it will at Camp Nou, and Man Utd been doing really well mostly at Old Trafford, so if Barca managed to win with a difference of two goals it will be really difficult for Man Utd to comeback and i don't think they can, but if they managed to get a draw i'm pretty sure they can beat barcelona in the 2nd leg and qualify, Man Utd are cooking every team on Old Trafford lately.

[maju69]

When two tough teams that are unpredictable meets the game is always interesting. By the end of the game the result will tell which among the both team is the strongest.  Manchester United can't afford to losein the game, Ten Hag will make sure his team wins the match.

It's no different from Barcelona, after their failure in the Champions League, coach Xavi will make sure his team wins matches in the Europa League.
This is the right moment with Barcelona's new squad this season
Xavi's toughest challenge is dividing the team's concentration between the Laliga and Europa League competitions
They still have a big chance to win La Liga, as well as in the Europa League

All the teams participating in these two competitions will be in the same situation where they have to divide their concentration, so this shouldn't be the reason why they failed in that competition. I think Xavi Hernandez already knows very well what he has to do to keep his players in good shape. He has experience as a player for sure he himself already understands things like this. Careful preparation and rotation will really help here.

U said Manchester united is currently better than FC Barcelona and at the same time, you are scared of Pedri, Gavi, Dembele, and Robert Lewandowsky. Fc Barcelona's performance is below expectations, but it doesn't mean that they wouldn't give all they have in other to win the Europa League title. Man United has risen to a different height, but Barcelona is also good in their way. I quest the side with a better game plan will win the match. It's uncertain to judge from the current performance.

Barcelona must be careful with the improvements that happened with MU. Rashford will become the main key for united to be able to win against barcelona. Dembele might be a threat for MU but im sure that MU has good team for now. MU was able to beating manchester city. I think that the different between MU and barcelona are not too far right now. MU has capability to beat barcelona in the europa league. The play off to go to the last 16 of europa league become even harder.
Juventus is also starting to struggle with its performance in serie a. I think that MU and barcelona were equal at this moment consider from the result achieved by MU

Ten Hag was able to bring United even better in a very short time, their performance improved a lot compared to the start of the season. Currently, The Red Devils have more and more solid motivation and mentality, especially after overthrowing their city rivals, namely Manchester City.

I am quite optimistic, next season Manchester United will be able to compete and become one of the challengers in the Champions League. more so, if Ten Hag can keep his troop's performance stable. it is not impossible, United are able to overthrow Barcelona.

I'm pretty sure as a coach, Xavi will pay more attention to Man United, who is currently on fire. the reason is, Xavi has stated that they are targeting a trophy in this competition. as their opponent was United, Xavi knew very well that their current opponent had become very formidable. at least, Barcelona will prepare its troops to face United in the playoffs later. This fight will present a very interesting match.

Well i am sure, that Xavi will do his absolute best to win the Europa League with his team because FC Barcelona desperately needs the money that you can get if you go far in this competition. It is already a huge loss for them that they did not manage to advance into the knockout stage of the Champions League again after they already failed to do so last year. Barca really needs the money because they are almost broke.
I don't really think though, that they will win this competition. In the end Barca is just not the strongest team that is still in this competition. For me there are several other clubs that are at least as good as Barca.

Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Manchester United team even tougher, he did a pretty good job, barcelona and Manchester United need good tactics and strategies in the upcoming matches, seeing Manchester United's performance increase is quite high, I think Barcelona really need to be careful heart with Manchester United, under the tutelage of Erik Teh Hag who remains stable, I'm sure Barcelona will be overthrown by Manchester United.

[X-ray]

All the teams participating in these two competitions will be in the same situation where they have to divide their concentration, so this shouldn't be the reason why they failed in that competition. I think Xavi Hernandez already knows very well what he has to do to keep his players in good shape. He has experience as a player for sure he himself already understands things like this. Careful preparation and rotation will really help here.

Being a coach is totally different when he was playing as a player. So many critics have been coming for him early season caused by he has the worst history with barcelona. Xavi has worst win rate compared with another coach of barcelona in the same era. There shall not be a rotation when it will be only making the performance from the club to decline. The problem is MU was on fire. Manchester city as a strongest candidate in UCL has beaten by united. It was showing us about how strong MU right now.
Barcelona needs also become very careful. MU has a very good defenders right now and MU is has been found its soul. It can be said that MU has a very good team work now.

I have seen many positive comments about Ten Hag, unlike many, I still disagree, because in my personal opinion a team cannot get along while a technical director is very arrogant and believes that he is even above himself clyub, that's something I still can't understand, the Europa League is a way to measure who is stronger, and who has more mental and physical strength in the competition, because this competition allows us to see which team is going to perform much better in the UCL , and he knows very well everything that it contains in his way of seeing it, for i these things have to be treated with great measure, that's why even so, Man United have had good games, I don't think they are still at the level.

Paul Scholes makes Marcus Rashford admission after Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd exit

Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford has taken on the onus of being the match-winner for Manchester United since Cristiano Ronaldo's exit.

The attacker is the club's top scorer, having netted 15 times ahead of United's lunchtime clash with Manchester City. Rashford's double against Charlton in the League Cup on Tuesday meant he became the first player to score in eight consecutive Old Trafford matches since Wayne Rooney in 2010.

It meant he scored in all seven matches after the World Cup and since Ronaldo's exit. The superstar had his United contract mutually terminated during the tournament after his infamous interview with Piers Morgan.

Both clubs are going into the head-to-head match in great spirits - Barcelona in first place in La Liga and United just one point behind City. It will be most offensive if some of the clubs (for example, United) treat the game not as an important event, but as a second or third priority. There are fewer such suspicions about Barcelona because Xavi, after a series of failures, is trying to win at least something.

[herurist]

In the last 7 matches, Barcelona has conceded more than they should and this is a sign of defensive deficiency. As per attackers and midfielders, they are well-to-do.

If indeed something like that happens I think Xavi already knows what they have to fix here, especially since the match is still quite long and there is still time to fix it.
As long as both clubs don't have a situation where injuries kick in I think this will be a good thing for both of them and it's still hard to tell now with their current state.
Both Manchester United and Barcelona still have a big chance in this game.
