UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[asriloni]

One week later more UEFA Europe League playoff round will start and Barcelona potential losing Dembele against Manchester United after confirming injured against Girona last two weeks. Have bad rumor about Barcelona not only with Dembele will absent on first leg UEFA Europe League but also Sergio Busquets have chance will absent.

I don't think problem for replacing position from Sergio Busquets because there are have Gavi, Pedri and Frankie De Jong will back up position leaving by Busquets, but I don't think Ansu Fati as the best option for replacing position leaving by Dembele.

Im sure de jong will be replacing barcelona. I meant we shall take a look at how important busquets for barcelona. He was also a captain of the club. Ansi fati may not be used by xavi. De jong has more potential rather than ansu fati. Raphinha will be replacing dembele's position. I shall remind you of the previous match raphinha has played by xavi as replacement for dembele. I think that the same strategy will be used against manchester united.
Barcelona must be careful caused by MU is also in its best performance at this moment.

Raphinha will be replacing dembele's position. I shall remind you of the previous match raphinha has played by xavi as replacement for dembele.

Busquet got a serious injury which is bad for him and Barcelona too but just months ago, Barcelona fans wanted to see Busquet leaving the club. They wanted something like what happened with Pique and now they considered he is so important for the club and are missing Busquet a lot. People are so complicated and sometimes hard to understand them.

Fati is a club future and his position is safely at least in a next season. About De Jong, I believe he will leave sooner or later because Xavi did not have plan to use the player a lot. Raphinha is like over estimated and over valued on transfer market. His performance with Brazil in World Cup 2022 is not good enough to convince me and his performance for Barcelona is not outstanding too.

I think that the same strategy will be used against manchester united.
Barcelona must be careful caused by MU is also in its best performance at this moment.

Barcelona usually play with their traditional tactics, tiki-taka and some sort of different versions of tiki-taka. In general, they don't change their playing style and formation. Perhaps they will use it again in matches with Manchester United in Europa League.

[Razmirraz]

Sometimes history in football repeats itself because irrespective of the players and the coaches presently in the team, the rivalry remains the same; Taking Barcelona and Manchester United case into consideration, all the teams are after the record they have in the past therefore both teams will like to win the match and bring victory to their team because they are all hoping to be Europa league champions this season.

That's right, both Barcelona and Manchester United have such an extraordinary history on the European competition scene and that makes the two clubs very close to the prestige that makes the match run so exciting and thrilling. But so far the two teams in the regular league have also had very good performances and can be said to be balanced from the depth of the existing squad. We'll see whose strategy wins this match later, whether Xavi or Erik ten hag.

The squad depth that Barcelona and Manchester United have is almost the same, both teams are performing well in the domestic league with continuous wins. Unfortunately these two teams met too quickly, this fight should have happened in the final.
Ten Hag and Xavi both want to win with a war of tactics between the two. A heavy task is on their shoulders to bring their team further in the Europa League. This match will be very exciting because the quality of the two's play is very good, I will not bet on any team in this match because the result of the match is very difficult to predict.

[CryptoBuds]

The first thing is that Arsenal is a very stable team right now. And they are not dependent on any particular player. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has managed to create an extraordinary match strategy. As a result, every player in the team is able to perform well from his position, because of good performance as a team, Arsenal has been able to maintain consistency.
This is why the absence of an important player like Jesus is not felt in Arsenal's performance. Their performance is still stable. And this has been possible due to Arteta's excellent match strategy and the confidence of the team's players.

In this season, Arsenal have so many good factors which contribute to their success in general. They had a good preparation since the last season because their players got good experience with pressure in top four race and to maintain a position in top four. In the last season, they failed but it gave their players very valuable lessons.
It looks perfect for Arsenal because many big clubs suddenly got serious problems like Chelsea and Liverpool. They give Arsenal better chances to participate in top four and have less competitors too.
From Arsenal side, their players are performing so well and their substitution players do their jobs well to help the club getting as best results as they can when main players were suspended or injured.
I believe that Arsenal have so many converged reasons to be a winner of Premier League in this season.

Arsenal's performance last season was not good. Arteta's aim in the previous season was to try to stabilize the team and strengthen the bonds between the players in the team. Arteta succeeded. The bond between the Arsenal players is excellent. And so they can beat any strong team this season. At the same time, despite having relatively few star players in the squad, they have been consistently performing very well. They continued to dominate both the Europa League and Premier League platforms.

Only Manchester City and Arsenal are fighting for the title this season. Teams like Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United are not in good form. This is why the fight for the title has become easier for Arsenal.

[Pandu Geddon]

The squad depth that Barcelona and Manchester United have is almost the same, both teams are performing well in the domestic league with continuous wins.

several pillar players in the Ten Hag squad experienced injury problems. and it haunts the Ten Hags today. We can see how United's strength is when several of its flagship players are absent. if they have good quality substitutes it will be a fortune for United.
but if they do badly it will be Barcelona's fortune. There is still some time before United's game against Barcelona. I still hope both of them play to their best abilities.

This game will be a tough road for both teams, and I think whoever the winner is, deserve to be a champion candidate. Both are great teams that are currently in good form, so it will be difficult to predict who will be the winner. The expertise of the coach will be decisive. So that anyone who can concoct a precise strategy (with the condition of the injury problem that is currently hitting his team), then he will have more chances to win the game.

you are right Barcelona and Arsenal are the most likely to win the Europa League title. However, Roma, Union Berlin and Ajax teams should not be neglected. These teams are consistently performing well in their respective leagues. But Barcelona and Arsenal have the strongest squads. Now it is natural that the team that plays consistently well will win the title.
Barcelona's next obstacle in winning the title is Manchester United. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to win against United. Barcelona's performance against Manchester United will tell whether the team deserves to win the title.

For Barcelona vs United, we have discussed it many times. but for other team candidates such as Roma, Union Berlin, Ajax, it is true that this cannot be ignored. in particular, Rome and Ajax. these two teams are playing quite well, but their performance in the last few weeks has not been very impressive. I quite like Roma's game this time, usually Mourinho always uses defensive tactics. but at least, Rome will also provide resistance, especially when they are against Red Bull, which is statistically superior to Matthias Jaissle's squad. Likewise for Ajax, I don't really know this team. but at least, Ajax is tougher than Union Berlin.
But by the way, however, Arsenal is the most ideal candidate in the race for the championship trophy in this competition. Arteta's troop squad is more established in terms of play, performance, teamwork and mentality. I hope Arsenal can win the Europa League trophy.

Roma and Union Berlin are also likely to be crowned Europa League champions. The performance of Ajax team is not very strong this season. However, Union Berlin and Roma are playing very well this season. Mourinho has been able to strengthen his team. On the other hand, I don't find Ajax's team strong this season as they have sold several key players in their squad. And now their performance is somewhat erratic. It has become difficult for Ajax to perform well in the Eredivisie league as well. So I don't consider this team a favorite in the Europa League.

Arsenal and Barcelona will undoubtedly be the frontrunners for the Europa League title. But last season we saw Frankfurt beat all the favorites to win the title. So the less favored team has the chance to win the title.

The squad depth that Barcelona and Manchester United have is almost the same, both teams are performing well in the domestic league with continuous wins.

several pillar players in the Ten Hag squad experienced injury problems. and it haunts the Ten Hags today. We can see how United's strength is when several of its flagship players are absent. if they have good quality substitutes it will be a fortune for United.
but if they do badly it will be Barcelona's fortune. There is still some time before United's game against Barcelona. I still hope both of them play to their best abilities.

This is a big problem. If a squad player gets injured before an important match, it becomes difficult for the team to maintain a stable performance. And several Manchester United players have injury problems. There are very few players on the team who consistently perform in every match. Ten Hag should be more aware of the fitness of their players. If the fitness of the players is not good then it is not possible to maintain consistency.

1 more week is left for both teams to strengthen themselves and prepare more. Both parties have several internal weaknesses. I think the coach's match strategy will play a more important role than the performance of the team's players in this match.

This qualifier will be one of the most important international experiences for Ten Hag and Xavi.  I think this match should have been in the final.  Not being in the final will allow us to watch 2 matches in a nice and final mood.  In my opinion, the matches will be balanced, but the winner will be determined by the performances that night.  Both teams have the power to beat each other.

What's worse is that they competed in the early playoffs from the knockout round, so this match is of course very unfortunate. Because even if they didn't meet in the final, at least they played in the quarter-finals or semifinals and it's still worth it for them.
Because these two teams are currently in their best form this season, so they really deserve to go further. But yes, with them playing in this round then one of them must stop in this round and cannot go any further.

[slapper]

In the recent meetings of Barcelona and Manchester united, Barcelona always take the convincing lead. But this time around I am not sure Barcelona will be able to maintain their record because Erik ten Hag is coming with high pressure to destabilise Barcelona.
Any team can win because they are both doing wellin their local leagues but in Europe I would trust Ten ahead of Xavi.

In additional if barcelona won't able to use two main players against MU. Sergio busquets and dembele face injuries at the same time. that was making barcelona at disadvantage compared with MU. Sabitzer has been performing so briliant in his debut. Ten hag has a mission to kicking barcelona's ass. I will be going all in MU in the upcoming match. I just wanna see how good MU is when it will be facing barcelona again. This is a very risky decision but i do agree to lose my money if MU will be losing in the first match against barcelona.
Xavi is also believes its squads will able to defeat MU easily. Xavi wanna try to defend its record against manchester united. Xavi will not let a good record against manchester united will be gone.

Although the forthcoming match pits Barcelona versus Manchester United, thoughts are divided as to who will come out on top. Both sides include world-class athletes, and Barcelona is still formidable despite without Sergio Busquets and Dembele. Xavi has been outspoken in his confidence that Barcelona can still win, despite Manchester United's recent success.

Man United supporters, on the other hand, believe their team can win thanks to home field advantage. The combination of Sabitzer on the pitch and Ten Hag's tactical expertise gives Manchester United excellent odds of victory.

Irrespective of the final score, this will be a thrilling contest. There's no telling who will win until the last whistle blows since both sides are competitive. When two of the best clubs in the world meet, the result is certain to be exciting. Everyone will be on the edge of their seats for this showdown, and they can only hope for the best.

[sana54210]

Ajax is not in the good shape because recently they just sacked Alfred Schreuder because he was failed bringing Ajax to performing well in Eredivisie even possibly Ajax will lost their title this season and now they have new coach John Heitinga but i am not sure about him because Heitinga is lack of experience because before train Ajax he has spend his managerial career to train junior team
Before Ajax faced difficult situations such as now i feel they will be qualified to next stage but after seeing recent situations from them i am a bit doubt they will overcomes Union Berlin and my predictions for this match is Union Berlin will beat Ajax and qualified to round of 16

It is not going to be easy for them to find a manager that will be as good as Erik Tan Hag easily, and it's not going to be easy to find the same level of talent again, they can find it for one or two positions, but not as a whole team, which is going to be tough for them.

In the end, Ajax is the best club of Netherlands and they will get back to being good, but I am expecting nothing from them here, they will not be contenders for the title and will lose eventually and go back home. That's fine though, you can't have great years every year, some years will be great, and eventually you will have some bad years as well and will play bad games and then fix things.

[imamusma]

this is a game we are anger to watch in  the competition. Both team are favourite to win the trophy but one team will qualify. It will be tough but Manchester United will triumph over Barcelona. Xavi squad are in good shape and eight points ahead of Real Madrid in the Spanish league. Manchester United are also premier league title contender sitting on the third place behind Manchester city in the league.  Let the best team win in this game

One team will fall, that is an undeniable fact. The best will qualify for the next round regardless of whether Barcelona or Manchester United. I have a bit of hope in Barcelona who have failed in the Champions League before, but Manchester United are a different team this season.

Xavi and Ten Hag will be in charge of whatever result they come up with over the two legs of this qualifying round, and both matches will be played over the course of February which has in fact made both teams quite tiring due to their hectic schedules. Barcelona play Villarreal on Monday at 3am for my country time zone, while Manchester United have 2 match against Leeds today and at the weekend.

but if they do badly it will be Barcelona's fortune. There is still some time before United's game against Barcelona. I still hope both of them play to their best abilities.

Some of the players who are currently experiencing problems are indeed very detrimental to Manchester United ahead of their meeting with Barcelona. But I hope that Erik Ten Hag has prepared for all of that, and the possible absence of players who are the main players in the squad will not have much effect on the team's play. And also I hope that whoever the players who will be deployed later will be able to show their best game.

[Furious 7]

It will be very interesting for 2 teams that are developing significantly Barcelona and Man United to face each other on the gridiron next week. Statistically, if Dembele is absent, it is certainly a big loss because he is a player who plays an important role in building attacks from the wing. However, Man United must also play without Casemiro who is still on a card sanction.

I don't think so, even though in the end Dembele was absent but there are still some players like Raphinha who will indeed be able to fill that position. On the other hand, when looking at some of Barelona's current matches, Xavi always makes some unique attempts, the results are very good, one of which is saving Gavi as a winger, not as an attacking midfielder, and I think this is still worth it.
As for Casimero he received a red card in the EPL and this has nothing to do with the playoffs now, it's just that Manchester United still have several players in doubt due to fitness problems there.

The absence of Dembele would be replaced by Raphina while the loss of Busquet would be replaced by Kessie who was part of the last game at home for Barcelona against Sevilla.
The red card to Casemiro will not affect him being present in the game and not also during the EFL Cup. Ever since he touch down and signed for Man United he has being one of the best player's and having him absence will be obvious in the squad.
Both Gavi and Pedri are young brilliant players representing the club very well. It looks like Barcelona will win because United gets it difficult to win Some clubs in Spain last year

I don't think Barcelona will face too many problems in Dembele's absence. Xavi's match strategy is excellent. So Barcelona will be able to play well even in Dembele's absence. Raphinha will also play as Dembele's replacement. Raphinha may not be as experienced as Dembele but he is a talented enough player. Raphinha looks set to play well in Dembele's absence. Raphinha's performance was good in the last match as well.

Several players in Manchester United's squad will not be able to play due to injuries. And Casimero will miss a match due to a red card. Looking forward to seeing how Ten Hag will strategize without so many key players.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester united having Eric Ten Hag is a great achievement for the club, he had really helped the club in improving the performance of the team. With Eric Ten Hag Manchester United will achieve better position in every competition even if they are unable to win trophies.  Barcelona match against Manchester United will be interesting and tough,  it is not going to be a threat in any form . Manchester United is good enough to challenge any strong team without having any fear.

The only problem is MU has a very bad head to head against Barcelona. which will become a challenge for MU. MU must have won against Barcelona or it will be kicked from europa league. Ten hag may be able to make MU to go up again after MU has very bad result during the early season in EPL but this is a bit different caused by MU will be facing a team that was so difficult to be beaten by MU since a long time ago. I meant Barcelona was able to win against MU so many times with a different coach.
This gonna be a big challenge for sure. I hope that MU will able to win in the first leg against Barcelona.

It is true that Manchester United has had a difficult history against Barcelona in past matches. However, it is important to note that every match and every season is different. Manchester United's current coach, Ten Hag, has the potential to lead the team to success, even against a historically difficult opponent like Barcelona. Additionally, it is important to remember that football is a team sport and that anyone match can be won by either team. While it will certainly be a challenging match for Manchester United, it is important to keep an open mind and not underestimate the team's potential for success. Thus, I really hope that MU will win.

The odds for MU to win and draw is 4.2, putting a bet on MU can be a wise decision right now haha

It's nice to know what each person's points of life are about football and how they may be seeing it, according to the little I've seen of Ten Hag I think I don't see it that well, however it's my perception, of course it's also possible It should be noted that I am a fan of CR7 and that I did not like the way they treated them at all, but I can point out that they have had a great moment so far, and I know that they have a lot of need to clear Man United's name, but Barcelona is a careful team, it can go against all odds and if the bets go like this they can turn around at any time, from Qatar I learned that any result in fútbol is possible.


Well, here Barcelona shows up its bad moment because of the injuries, it's something sad, because I really would like them to be 100% with everything, so who wins or loses is something decisive for the team, then it would be good that They were with all their arsenal, so that later they will not generate more excuses than because they were not with the owner or with the complete team, it is always good to have that type of evidence when things do not go well in a team, in fact the same Fans are the first to say that the team lost because they were not with their best players but with the bench, I say this because they have told me so.

Barcelona confirm injury blow before huge Europa League clash with Man Utd

Barcelona have confirmed midfielder Sergio Busquets has suffered ankle ligament damage and is a major doubt to face Manchester United in the Europa League.

The veteran midfielder limped out of Sunday’s La Liga victory over Sevilla after just 10 minutes at the Camp Nou. The extent of his injury has now been confirmed as he is set to miss several weeks of first-team action for the Blaugrana.

Barca boss Xavi is already at odds with the club’s plans for replacing Busquets, who is out of contract in June, at the end of the campaign. Barca president Joan Laporta is pushing for the club to sign Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, as the club supremo shares a close relationship with his agent Jorge Mendes

Barcelona is a team that is in a more comfortable position compared to Manchester united, they are advancing in the league as they wish, while their closest rivals lose points, they continue to progress by opening up the difference in points. The absence of Dembele does not cause much trouble to Xavi's game, at least there is an alternative that can fill his place. On the one hand, Manchester has to think about the league side, they have a lot of injuries and it will be difficult to replace those players.

Did not expect that Sergio Bosquest would be sidelined for several weeks due to an ankle injury and this was pretty bad news for Barcelona. There is only one week left for the match against Manchester United in the Europa League playoffs to start. Something unexpected happened, but it looks like the fans will continue to support Barcelona, considering that the first leg will take place at Camp Nou. At least they still have strong ambitions to win this match even though it's a bit difficult because their opponent Manchester United is also in good form lately.
