UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[rahmad2nd]

I think if Arsenal can make a few more suitable signings in the January window they will have more options in different positions in the team and will be able to compete in both competitions without the fear of burning out their key players with the large number and tight schedule of games but I will also advice to focus more on the league where they already have a bigger opportunity to win it than in the Europa league.

Arteta has planned to bring in several young players who are no less talented than the Gunners' core players. Like it or not, Arteta has to bring in several new players in the January transfer window to smooth out his mission of winning two trophies at once this season. as you said, Arsenal will have many options to compete in two competitions at once without having to always rely on their 11 main players continuously. however, Arteta's attention will be more focused on their domestic league.

and as I said in the previous post, Arsenal have crucial games in the second half of the season in the Premier League. the reason, as we know before. often times, Arsenal underperformed after entering the second half of the season. like it or not, Arteta must prepare his troops to continue to appear consistently until the end of this season and add ammunition in the winter transfer window later. the Europa League trophy is the second plan, after progressing smoothly in the domestic league.

There is something they have to defend when undergoing the second half of the Premier League. Preparation, concentration and mentality will really help them to stay at their best at the moment. It was a golden opportunity that came their way and ended with their convincing game. It would be a shame if they had to be knocked out at the end of the competition. Not a problem when they have a very wide number of points than their competitors, but it is a big problem because the Premier League is a very competitive League.

A lot of good games in the europa league play offs such as Rennes vs shakhtar , rennes is doing great in the last couple of years and shakhtar team has a good history in european competitions its a tough game to predict but i give a slight advantage to Rennes team just because of their players quality.

Nantes is a low tier team. I see that if juventus can beat it easily. I will always take juventus in the match against nantes. Seeing a top club from serie a to face a low tier team like nantes makes me believe if juventus can win with so many scores against nantes. I don't wanna underrated nantes but the truth has been saying the fact if nantes was nothing compared with juventus in term of statistic of something else. Nantes will be stopped by juventus in the europa league and juventus will able to pass nantes without any problem.

I agree with your assessment (except that Juventus will definitely win - underdogs sometimes win). Now in Ligue 1 there is one top club - PSG and all the rest. Among the rest there are good teams but they are not comparable to the tops of Serie A and Juventus despite its problems are still top. But as I wrote above, underdogs sometimes win, and especially in elimination games, as it requires a little bit of luck for just two games.

Shakhtar went into the Europa League play offs as they failed to compete with Real Madrid and RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage. Meanwhile, Rennes could not compete with Fenerbache in the European League group phase. It is true that this match will be very difficult to predict because both teams are in good condition in their respective domestic leagues, it's just that they cannot compete in higher events such as the Champions League and Europa League so that puts them to get rid of each other in this round.

PSG has always been and is the best in Ligue 1. The best club in Ligue 1 is PSG. PSG have the most expensive attacking unit, capable of breaking through any big defense and scoring goals. I am sure that PSG will win the Ligue 1 title again this time.

Preferring the Premier League doesn't mean Arsenal have to forget the Europa League, because as long as Arsenal are able to get good results for both of them this season, it won't be wrong to do so even though it won't be so easy for Arsenal. But I see that there are better developments in the Arsenal team this season so that Arsenal will definitely be able to fight for those two very good trophies (the Premier League trophy and the Europa League trophy).

Can Arsenal kill two bird's with a stone
Maybe they can but not with the premier league and Europa league
They need to put in more work so they can at least win the league

Anything can happen if Arsenal are able to maintain their quality, after successfully shaping their squad to be better than in previous years, Arsenal are ready to compete to kill the birds in front of them. Arteta's role was very influential on Arsenal's appearance, he as a strategist in the Arsenal squad could not be careless in his throws, birds had to be dropped one after another to reach targets that they had not gotten for a long time.

If no accident happens then PSG will win the Ligue 1 title this time. They are 5 points ahead of second-placed Lens. and 10 points ahead of third-placed Rennes. And PSG is unbeaten in 15 matches. They have one of the best attacks in the world. And they are able to score a lot of goals. So now PSG is more interested in the Champions League title than Ligue 1.

Nantes should be really careful in the Ligue 1 while they are competing in the Europa League at the same time. Because it seems like they are focused on the Europa League much more these days. I understand this of course as they don't have this chance every season. But focusing on this tournament too much can cause them to be relegated from the Ligue 1 as well.

They are already very near the relegation zone. On the other hand their opponent in this stage of the Europa League is Juventus. Most probably Juventus will eliminate them. After that I guess Nantes would start pulling themselves together in the Ligue 1.

Manchester City is Arsenal's main enemy in the Premier League
Meanwhile in the Europa League, several teams such as Real Sociedad, Freiburg, Betis will be at the forefront of prevent Arsenal from winning the Europa League title this season. So far I'm still pretty sure Arsenal are the strongest candidate in the Europa League

Anyway, when there is an opportunity to be able to progress better with the expected results, then of course they will continue to maximize the opportunities in the moments they get. There is no term Arsenal has to choose one of them, unless there is no more hope for Arsenal between the Premier League and the European League, then Arsenal will probably choose one of them to maximize.
But so far, Arsena's chances are still very open and therefore, it would not be right for Arsenal to only focus on one of the Premier League or the European League.

Basically, Arsenal do have a good chance this season, but I personally think that when one or several of Arsneal's main players are injured, it will immediately have a negative impact on the team's performance.
So yes, I can assume that if Arsenal's main squad is still doing well or staying healthy during this season, then Arsenal's chance to win the title is very likely to happen. But if one of Arsenal's main players get injured, then I'm not entirely sure Arsenal will be able to win the title.

Indeed, some of their matches in the Champions League this season have been very bad, but when you look at the current conditions with several players recovering and Juventus' performance in the last 6 matches in Serie A always winning, their chance is still very big now.
Nantes is one of the clubs that was unexpected in my opinion but when compared to Juventus at this time it is clear that there will be big hopes for Juventus in this Playoff.

In terms of strength, there is a real difference between the two clubs, but on the other hand, we also cannot make it seem like Juventus is just winning.
At this time I have seen a lot of surprises that always happen in football and now I am always surprised by world cup matches and with this I would not consider this to be an easy win for Juventus even if seen in terms of strength and quality they are clearly more strong but when the game is 90 minutes later, we still can't predict what kind of result will happen later.

Arsenal have underperformed habit at second half season and actually Arteta need prepare by bringing several young player for back up main squad right now and I think have completed position, I think realistic with Arsenal chance for winning Primer League because have many compete team like Manchester City but have opportunity for the Gunner can get Europe League trophy if keep consistency at knock out round. Still not drawing yet with against team face by Arsenal on knock out round because need waiting with play off match result, I don't think Arsenal have already which one team face at Europe League on knock out round.

[nara1892]

Nantes is not an equal opponent for Juventus, Allegri's squad will definitely win this match easily. But I would like to remind Juventus not to let their opponents down this time, if they don't want something bad to happen to them at the end of the game. This is their chance to easily play in the next round. Because when compared to other teams like Manchester United and Barcelona who have to beat each other in this round, Juventus have a very comfortable situation. Especially with the return of several players who have just recovered from injury, this is good news for their squad.
After the World Cup is over, they are very likely to appear with the full squad and no longer have to reason that many of their players are injured.

Indeed, some of their matches in the Champions League this season have been very bad, but when you look at the current conditions with several players recovering and Juventus' performance in the last 6 matches in Serie A always winning, their chance is still very big now.
Nantes is one of the clubs that was unexpected in my opinion but when compared to Juventus at this time it is clear that there will be big hopes for Juventus in this Playoff.

With the condition of the players who have recovered such as Di Maria, Chiesa, Dusan and even Pogba of course at this time Juventus' condition is much better than before so they will be able to make it possible to successfully advance to the next round in the Europa League.
Juventus' condition is in contrast to Nantes because it seems they are still not ready to be in this league, especially with their not-so-good condition in the Europa League and Ligue 1.

There is no doubt in this season Arsenal is strong contender for the two top titles first Premier League where they are right now having five points lead from second spotted Manchester City and in UEFA Europa Cup they have done good job which is clearly indicating they can do good at the end of this season specially their defence and attack both are at the same level and supporting each other very strongly.

Now after break we are going to have tough challenges waiting for them because most chances few clubs are going to increase their firepower which is going to have good change in Premier League, so Arsenal are also having few inquiries if they are able to have positive development then surely we can expect good end of this season from them for their fans.

Right now, their approach and their most strategies are going just to win La Liga in this season because this can bring good positive development for the club in this depressing time while they are having huge debit and things are not looking good even they are already selling their media rights and having good contract money as well but hopefully in next winter transfer window they could be able to sell few players which will help them for having good money which will give them some relief from this huge debit which is headache for the management.

Their Champions League exit is surely having negative impact, but their performance in La Liga is surely giving them better results and good hopes for having good spot for this season which is surely having few issues off the field as well and need quick end of few rumours which are never been good.

Arsenal will be happy in a way that they are doing so well, but from a financial point of view it does not help you much to participate in the Europa League. Only if you win the tournament will you have a reasonable amount left over. But even that cannot be compared to just participating in the Champions League tournament. Arsenal will play the Champions League next year, but I am looking forward to the games in the EL after the World Cup. We have some great draws on the schedule, which could also all be CL matches if you look at the strength of these teams.

[kotwica666]

I have said it before and I am happy you are reasoning my way. Arteta should not risk this great opportunity to lift the English Premier League. Arsenal doesn't have a good squad depth to win both the Europa and English league. I am not saying that they should deliberately crash out of the Europa League but I am saying that Arteta should give more priority to English Premier League than Europa league in terms of player selections and concentrations.

Preferring the Premier League doesn't mean Arsenal have to forget the Europa League, because as long as Arsenal are able to get good results for both of them this season, it won't be wrong to do so even though it won't be so easy for Arsenal. But I see that there are better developments in the Arsenal team this season so that Arsenal will definitely be able to fight for those two very good trophies (the Premier League trophy and the Europa League trophy).

You are right Arsenal need to do better for the Premier League. Arsenal need a much better performance than what they are currently doing. Because the rest of the teams are far ahead of them. So to do well, Arsenal need to be stronger.

Juventus' condition is in contrast to Nantes because it seems they are still not ready to be in this league, especially with their not-so-good condition in the Europa League and Ligue 1.

Even Juventus is already on recovery mod as they have good end before break with five wins in a row, and now we have around five weeks left in start of Serie A which is surely good period for them because with this break now most of their players will be able to have returned into action and give their best which is going to create good healthy competition in Serie A and title race could be turned into good way because right now we have Napoli as leaders and AC Milan is eight points behind with now gape for the Juventus is also ten points which is surely good but still reachable for them because they have quality players, and they can give them good results which will help this club to join at the top level of the UEFA region.

I think Arsenal can win both the Europa and Premier League all the need is more more good games and consistency. They maintained a good performance and stat in the premier league as well as Europa in the early games of the season. The remain the favourite to win the Europa but for the PL the will have to maintain the point difference the have over Manchester City because Pep is cooking up  some new tactics to test them once the season resumes.
