UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Zlantann]

With only two matches played, Arsenal is clearly at the top of Group A; they have one outstanding match against PSV, who are second in the group with four points, the same as Bodo/Glimt. However, it is clear that Arsenal and PSV will be the two teams to lead the group if they both play outstanding matches. They may share points, but Arsenal will be the group leader.

I think Arsenal has one of the best squads in the English Premier League because they have a very good bench. It is amazing to see the team playing quality football without players like Gabriel Jesus, Bakayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Thomas Partey starting the match. The youngster Eddie Nkatieh was amazing, always threatening the defense of the Norwegian side. Bodø/Glimt goalkeeper N. Khaikin was outstanding because he denied Arsenal a lot of goals. Although Kjetil Knutsen's men lost the match, they also had a very commendable performance. The team still has the opportunity to qualify for the next round if they win more matches
.

What's wrong with Ronaldo? He plays full time and he also had some good chances but somehow he always failed to score. I don't think he is the Ronaldo we saw last season. Obviously, there must be a reason why he became this bad, it could be because he rarely gets the chance to play which affects his performance, or maybe this has something to do with his psychology. We all know that Ronaldo wants to leave Man United and most likely his loyalty has also definitely changed. Even though he's trying to be professional but those emotions can be an obstacle for him to play without a burden.

Manchester United a very fortunate to win the match against this underrated Cypriot side. If they had relied on Ronaldo to score goals, United would have been disappointed because he failed to score his 700th club career goal. He had the opportunities but he missed all of them. His problem started at the beginning of the season when he was desperately pushing for a transfer out of the club. He lost the confidence of the club and the team had to plan without him. Physically he might be in the club but I doubt if he is committed to the team. I agree that he needs psychological guidance.

Bad news for the G.O.A.T Cristiano Ronaldo not able to deliver united when they needed him the most, quite embarrassing and discouraging for the red devils. United missed alot of goal scoring chances in the first half. Erik ten hag change some players in the second half bring in sharp players that can deliver the team. Rashford brace and Anthony Martial goal gave united the winning three points against Omonia. One interesting about the game was that, United would have neil the home team more than 3 three goals but they pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who wasted all his chances, I consider it as a hard luck for the Portuguese international.

When Ten Haag brought Ronaldo from the first hald it must be because he still believes that Ronaldo can contribute to the team because this match is also important for them, but when he can't score a goal it's not always about him failing to contribute.
I watched the match in the first half they failed to score a few more times due to their poorly coordinated attack, but at least the mission of getting 3 points has been achieved and isn't that the goal?

The case of Ronaldo is one I have always debated with my colleagues. Growing stale for lack of game time is what to expect from a player like Ronaldo who has been a star man, then all of a sudden, Ten Hag leaves him on the bench and uses him only for Europa games. He might not have much future at Manchester united because of Hag's long-term building strategy, but he sure is still Ronaldo and his confidence only shines with more responsibilities during game time. His presence still commands respect and although he failed to score, he didn't fail to make an assist.

Ronaldo's performance is not what it used to be, even Tan Hag will think twice about starting Ronaldo in a premier league match, in the match against Omonia I think Ronaldo's report card is very low, even though he managed to get eight shots and provide one assist, but unfortunately from eight shots only one shot on target, Ronaldo also failed to take advantage of a golden opportunity to score when his shot from a very open space actually went straight into the arms of the opposing goalkeeper, in my personal opinion Rasford was the best player in this match, even though he only entered in the second half but was able to turned things around and managed to score two goals.

I have another opinion about Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, although overall Rashford was better after coming off the bench and being the hero of United's victory.

Not too bad for a striker who hasn't played regularly able to hit eight shots and make a pass accuracy of 89%, although Ronaldo failed to score in that game, but Ronaldo managed to create space for Rashford when United equalized. Ronaldo also provided the assist in the match for Rashford's second goal.

Manchester United's narrow 3-2 win over Omonia was unconvincing, but it was a crucial win to keep them on track and United are now second in Europa League Group E.

What's the matter? Has Ronaldo ruined so many chances? This will start another wave for happy haters  

If I am to count how many chances, Ronaldo missed, it will be up to 6. Age is catching up on Ronaldo gradually, he is now playing like an average player due to the fact of not being featured in matches. The Ronaldo I know is now having a bad time scoring a single goal to seal his 700 career goals. Maybe he will do that in their next match on Sunday or Thursday against Everton or Omonia Nicosia

I don't think, cristiano Ronaldo will improve in their remaining matches, because the way their new coach is benching cristiano Ronaldo in every match, it will be difficult for him to be more active in achieving goals in every competition. If Manchester united coach can start using cristiano Ronaldo through out the match,I think he will improve higher in their remaining matches, because cristiano Ronaldo still have a potential experience of assist players to achieve goals like what him did yesterday in the second half. No doubt, cristiano Ronaldo will definitely improve higher in their next match, if their coach will allow him to play both first half and second half.

Looks like the german teams has done very well in the Europa League today with both Freiburg and Union Berlin has won there games.
Respect to Union Berlin as they got 1 Minute before halftime a red card and they managed the second half to score a goal with 10 Players.
Berlin has still a little chance to get into the next round even they just won 1 game for now.

Ronaldo also provided the assist in the match for Rashford's second goal.

The failure to score goals by Ronaldo does not mean that Ronaldo has become bad at his current age. I even saw a Ronaldo who is still able to help Manchester United players in the game is a very extraordinary job because it is still very profitable for the Manchester United team. Everyone should be able to judge where Ronaldo who is still able to provide the best assists for other players (Rashford) is a very good performance and it indicates that Ronaldo is still reliable in the Manchester United team this season.

Manchester United's narrow 3-2 win over Omonia was unconvincing, but it was a crucial win to keep them on track and United are now second in Europa League Group E.

Yes, it was a very important victory for Manchester United because with it Manchester United can still be on a good track and is needed and is no longer too difficult for the next match in the remaining group stages of the Europa League this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo performance wasn't so bad even though he didn't manage to score. A player who plays as a striker, does not always have to score goals in every game even though his main task is to score goals.
Playing 90 minutes with the statistics of being able to shoot 8 shots and succeeding in providing 1 pass on Manchester United 3 goals made by Marcus Rashford in my opinion is very good for him who is not young anymore. It was evident in the shooting accuracy (1/17) owned by the Portugal captain in that match.

I'm very happy for this Arsenal team. The improvement and the unity is massive. I'm happy that they managed to get a good result despite rotating the squad. The players were excellent all over the field. Kieran Tierny and Vieira Fabio were brilliant all over the field. Gabriel Jesús came on and he was brilliant and he did well to assist Vieira with that brilliant goal. It was a comfortable and important win to keep the spirit and confidence high for the Liverpool game of Sunday.

Arsenal vs Glimt match will be back after Arsenal vs Liverpool match in Premier League. and today's win certainly gives Arsenal good confidence against Liverpool.
Arsenal's chances in the Europa League are very big to qualify for the next round. I think Arsenal could have swept all the group-stage games with a win.

Rashford and Martial has became an super subs tonight that they can solved the deadlock of Manchester United forward line with scoring goals and help Manchester United to win the match but unfortunately Ronaldo cannot playing well as people expected although he has made 1 assist tonight but besides that i had noticed Manchester United defense in that match is very poor because the coordination between defenders players were quite bad and 2 goals from Omonia players is pure from their mistakes that this shouldn't be happened again in the second leg

I don't think Omnia's defence is very high. However, the entire first half of Manchester United's performance was very disappointing. At the end of the first half, Manchester United was behind 1-0. Ronaldo was not very effective in the first half, although he was able to make several attacks. If Rashford and Martial had not played well in the second half, United would not have scored 3 points in this match. However, through this match, it is well understood that the Manchester United team is still struggling to achieve stability. Ten Hag has yet to develop a stable match strategy.

It was very good for them in yesterday's game and of course this is something quite good for the representatives of Germany.
But indeed for Union Berlin right now it is still not too safe, in contrast to Freiburg who are already very comfortable at the top of the standings after winning 3 matches in a row.
In fact, until now Freiburg have only conceded 1 goal in this competition. It seems that the second time they are in the Europa League it will be better if you look at their current condition because the chances of qualifying are clear.

It can be seen that the fighting spirit of the Union Berlin players is very high, they want to win against Malmo, that's why Union Berlin played
so emotional that they got a red card. Finally their hard work paid off, Union Berlin won its first Europa League win. Like you said Union Berlin
isn't safe yet, because they have to win in the remaining 3 matches, if indeed Union Berlin wants to qualify for the next round. But I doubt
Union Berlin can win the remaining 3 games, because facing Malmo which is the weakest team in Group D Union Berlin looks very difficult.

Very different from Freiburg's impressive performance, Freiburg achieved perfect results with 3 consecutive wins in the Europa League.
So it looks like Freiburg will definitely qualify from the group stage, because I think having 9 points is safe enough. Even though Freiburg are
in Group G where their opponents are not easy to beat, there are big names like Nantes and Olympiakos. But Freiburg can appear very dominant,
this shows Freiburg is more ready to play the Europa League competition.

In their match against Omonia, Manchester United had to suffer to win. In the second half, Rashford and Martial played well, scoring as well. Without Ronaldo's presence, United would have scored more if they hadn't focused on him. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who failed to score despite doing everything he could. There is no sign of fitness, he seems detached, absentminded, and disinterested. Coaches from Manchester United and Portugal are under pressure to play him, but neither team would benefit from his presence.

The mission of achieving a 3 points was achieved basically cause Manchester United were playing with an underdog compared to their caliber, if they should continue with such mistakes and errors with an opponent next to their tanks then am sure they won't escape with even a draw not to talk of a winning.

CR7 is not all there is in United, old age is fast catching up with the guy and much pressure shouldn't be laid on him like a player in his twenties. He has done his best while younger so the younger ones currently should take the bull by the horn in their respective position and see if United wouldn't do better.

Could it be that the Cristiano Ronaldo has been affected by juju ( Black Magic ) done by Paul Pogba as said by his brother is or has affected the 🐐 ? That was a crazy clear cut chance for him to score and it strucked directly on the wood work, this is far from bad days, I really don't know what to say anymore, the World Cup is fast approaching and this is a poor performance.

I'm appealing for Manchester United to please let him go, he started very well at Manchester United but having bad days at the last periods. Lastly, the likes of Roy Keane and Paul Scoles should back Erik Ten Hag on his decisions rather than criticize and say ill of the decisions he takes.

No one suspected that Ronaldo failed to get the ball into Omonia Nicosia's goal when Fabiano as a goalkeeper was no longer in his position.
The process of Marcus Rashford's goal in the 84th minute which is considered an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo in my opinion is also due to the unintentional element of a mega star. When observed in more detail, Ronaldo tried to shoot at the goal, but the ball from Ronaldo's shot went wide towards Rashford who entered through the back.

That Manchester won the game is very important. They are now behind Real Sociedad San Sebastian, now 3 points behind. Omonia scored 2 goals, which shows again that United has some problems in defence. Offensively, you said it right, Ronaldo is not doing any better. If they are not good in the defense, then they need to score more goals in the offense to win the games.

The assist Ronaldo gave to Rashford was an intentional assist, Ronaldo never wanted to shoot at the posy. No one shoots from that angle he was. I will agree with you that Ronaldo was so unlucky in the match, it became so obvious when he could not score Dalot's open net assist.

That being said, the problem of Manchester United is some defensive errors, Omonia was not supposed to net Manchester United, let alone to score twice. ETH needs to improve the defence so that if attacks will be able to score 1 or 2 goals, it will be a win for United.
