UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[sana54210]

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.

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.

Barcelona may be great at league games, but that doesn't mean they are better than United, and even if it does mean they are better than United, they were better than Frankfurt last year as well, but they lost to them all the same, so a worse team could still a better team. This is why I believe that it is quite important to focus on what could be done and how they could they win if they are a better team.

I know it is going to be a tough game for both teams, they are both doing fine and they will want to both win the game as well. It is great for us, because it means that we are going to get to watch two great teams fight each other and it will be awesome to watch.

The impact will not be too big, Frenkie de Jong is likely to play as a central midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets, while Gavi has the potential to appear to reduce the impact of Busquets' absence in the Europa League opener against Manchester United.

Basically, Barcelona is quite ready with the potential midfield options they have this season. The absence of Sergio Busquets will not cause any deep concern for the team because Barcelona has prepared everything carefully before this

De Jong is able to play as a defensive midfielder, but if Xavi doesn't want to play him there then he can have Frank Kessie there.
While Gavi and Pedri can be played simultaneously as midfielders. I'm sure without Busquets Barcelona won't be a problem, but without Raphinha and Dembele it will be quite worrying.

Then ready or not ready for Barcelona to meet Manchester United, I think they still have to be ready. His recent good form can supprt good result to be hoped for, but still both teams need win which makes this match really difficult for both of them.

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.

If Barcelona was playing in a typical 4-3-3 formation, I think not having Ousmane Dembélé could have been a devastating thing for Barcelona. But we all know that Xavi is always changing up the tactics. He does not rely on a certain formation or tactics in every match. That has been a plus point for Barcelona in the success that they are getting right now

I can't imagine that I'm the only one looking forward to the next encounter between Barcelona and Manchester United. Because of Xavi's game plan and the inclusion of Raphinha, I think Barcelona can get by without Dembele. Manchester United, however, will have a far more difficult time of it owing to the absence of many important players (injuries and Casimero's red card). Getting through these roadblocks and developing a successful approach will be a serious challenge for Ten Hag. I think football fans around will enjoy watching how this plays out

Barcelona versus Manchester United is going to be really interesting. Barcelona has been playing really well this season. Especially after the world cup break. Manchester United has also started performing well recently. So I think in terms of form, neither team is going to be better compared to the other. I think in the end it will come down to which team plays well on that certain day.

[ShowOff]

Maybe you mean playing badly in the Champions League, not in the Europa League, because Barcelona, who are already in the Europa League now, is due to not qualifying for the Champions League group phase, so they have to be in the Europa League play-off round. And yes Barcelona will try to improve everything in the Europa League as well as in the domestic league as well as has been seen from the results in several matches there (La Liga).

Barcelona is definitely not the first seed in the Champions League group stage this season, that's because Bayern Munich and Inter are very strong teams for a large number of Barcelona players. This failure only made me admit that Barcelona had not been able to compete with other top European teams, but slowly Barcelona proved its capacity.

I can expect barcelona to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League this season. Manchester United do have a chance, but it is because Barcelona's form is getting stronger that I hope victory and qualifying for the round of 16 is possible for them. It's up to people to take Barcelona for granted, it won't change my view of Barcelona's right now.

Then ready or not ready for Barcelona to meet Manchester United, I think they still have to be ready. His recent good form can supprt good result to be hoped for, but still both teams need win which makes this match really difficult for both of them.

De Jong as the Central defensive midfielder was used during the game against Sevilla as he was an important player who set up the pass for Kessie to link up Gavi for his goal. They won't miss Sergio Busquet as far as Kessie plays very well. Pedri always consistent and has also been scoring goals not once not twice to give Barcelona to lead to tight game's especially during the absence of Lewandoski.

I had nightmares about what Dembele might cause to Manchester United defense but the Good Lord has grant us mercy, hes currently Injured. I can relate to Luke Shaw handling Raphina during a premier league clash against Leeds United, I'm sure he'll do same again.
Lastly, they need to silence Robert Lewandoski, Varane and Harry Maguire has got job to do during that game.

Yes I agree with your opinion.Barcelona is trying to play more focused games now.Because in UEFA Europa League Barcelona played bad game in several matches due to which now they want to correct those mistakes.What I have seen is that Barcelona goalkeeper has a lot.  By performing well, due to which Barcelona is known as such a strong team.

Maybe you mean playing badly in the Champions League, not in the Europa League, because Barcelona, who are already in the Europa League now, is due to not qualifying for the Champions League group phase, so they have to be in the Europa League play-off round. And yes Barcelona will try to improve everything in the Europa League as well as in the domestic league as well as has been seen from the results in several matches there (La Liga).

Do not forget that last season Barcelona also crashed out of the Champions League and went to Europa League where everyone thought they would be able to win the cup but unfortunately for them they could not make it too. I think it was Frankfurt of Bundesliga that eliminated Barcelona from last season's Europa League. Funny enough this season too they have also crashed out of the Champions League and waiting to crash out of the Europa League that is what she was trying to say you

[Distraction]

Leverkusen - Monaco seems to be a competitive matchup but the odds are telling a little different. Because I see Leverkusen as quite the favourite for next round.

I don't think there is a rift between these teams. Instead Monaco's situation is better than Leverkusen comparing their domestic leagues. Leverkusen are just better than before now thanks to Xabi Alonso's strategies. Their main focus might most likely be the Europa League also. Because they don't have much thing they can achieve in the Bundesliga after that horrible run for a long time. Maybe this can be an extra advantage for them against Monaco. But even if they eliminate Monaco I expect it to be by a slight margin.

[Furious 7]

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

At the moment for Barcelona it will still be very good but for Manchester United it is clear that there are some things that need to be fixed now.
The absence of several players such as Martial, Eriksen and several others who are still unable to play is clearly a disadvantage now.
The presence of Weghorst in Manchester United's attack has not made a significant impact at this time.
It's just that some of the young players who played like Pedri or Gavi at Barcelona and of course Rashford and Garnacho at Manchester United make me curious now.

[ginsan]

Yes, I think this is the right moment for Barcelona to prove they can still go further in the Europa League to correct their mistakes in the Champions League and Europa League last season. Even though at this moment Barcelona had a pretty difficult opponent too, but because Manchester United's performance seemed to be declining, Xavi should have been able to make Barcelona win.
Because if Barcelona still lose this match, then I think Xavi is just making Barcelona focus on La Liga.

Barcelona can do it if they can beat manchester united in the next 2 weeks. Nothing is impossible for them if Barcelona perform better against Manchester United. But their opponents in form in the premier league what hinder them a little from going further. Dembele is still injured, I think this can interfere with their game a little in the match.

Manchester United also lost Eriksen due to injury, maybe this will be a weak point for them because Eriksen has become an important player in Manchester United's revival this season.

I think these players can recover as soon as possible and both teams can appear with a perfect squad when this game starts.

Y-

Barcelona have better head-to-head record against Manchester United and it is one of their advantage with history voice and mentally support for their players. However, they are actually stronger if we count their performance in La Liga, their ranking there with what Manchester United have in Premier League.

As long as they are still consistent to play optimally and give high pressure to Man United, I am sure that they are able to.But, we cannnot also underestimate Man United, with Casemiro, it will be quite different, moreover, he was in Real Madrid which has been usual to Barcelona. In fact, this wil be much more interesting. cannot

Xavi is a young coach but he has a long and successful player career with that he has a lot of experience with tough matches.

Indeed, thisreally gives advantages to make his best tacttic taken from his experiences. The tactic may be different, but indeeed, he is smart enough to arrange it although he is new as a coach. But, he must manage and control his squad emotion to be under controlled and on fire.

[Ndabagi01]

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.

Eric Ten Hag must have a backup plan in place and players ready to fill in for other players by this moment in time. After both teams have proven to be at their best right now, their match with Barcelona will not be a small one to watch all over the world. This is not a match to joke with, I’m sure both coaches are been more prepared for the match.

I think Barcelona is much better in their performance this season than last season, I'm very sure that Barcelona will have a better result in the Europa league than last season.  In last season Barcelona was not very confident of there performance,  they were just trying their best to become better.  But right now Barcelona is in good form, even if Barcelona don't end up in winning the europa league their performance will be that better than that of last season.

Xavi has good replacements just in case Sergio Busquets cannot make it to feature in the game against Manchester United, he could play Kessie in DM while Gavi and Pedri can play in the midfield. I think Xavi is already preparing his team for this game as Erik Ten Hag is preparing his for this game too.

Gavi's placement on the wing is still very good and I want Xavi to continue to do that. As for the midfield, De Jong and Pedri can still be filled in. This is still very good to do.
This will be better in terms of the transition later or maybe if Barcelona want to make changes to the attack in the second half, for example, they can still improvise.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

Barcelona have a number of options in vital positions in the team like in the attacking wings, in the absence of Usman Dembele, Raphinha is available as a replacement for Dembele which gives some level of relief to Xavi as he will not worry much about finding a replacement for Dembele. Manchester United on the other hand are lucky that Casemiro will be available for the first leg meeting against Barcelona and with Eriksen's absence, Sabitzer will fill in and give United some balance in the midfield.

Xavi has prepared the best replacement for those who are already injured. There are two main players who got injured. Busquets and dembele. Xavi has been trying to replace them with potential players. Glad to see barcelona didn't let de jong and raphinha to leave easily from the club.
Raphinha and de jong are so useful when barcelona got some players faced injuries like that. Im sure about raphinha will be playing against united as well as de jong too. We will see how good MU to face to face against barcelona in the play of europa league.

Even though both teams will be minus several players who are absent due to injury, it seems that this is not a problem for the two coaches and they have anticipated this well. The first leg match will take place in a week, of course both barcelona and manchester united must keep their players fit for the match later and I hope that in this week's match in their respective regular leagues, no players will be injured again for both teams.

That Xavi has been able to replace crucial players like Busquets with capable players demonstrates his coaching prowess, and I agree with this assessment. It's remarkable that he's accomplished all this while coping with other team members' ailments. When Barcelona plays Manchester United, having guys like de Jong and Raphinha on the field will be a huge advantage. I can't wait to see them play and see how they handle the pressure United will put on them. The result of this match promises to be exciting.

both teams have the same problem. and the match between the two in the first leg can be very difficult to predict. Barca also lost several players, as well as United who were already struggling against Leeds because several players in their main squad were absent.
although both trainers could say everything was fine. but I'm sure, now they are fighting to make the right strategy and composition of players.

I think Barcelona is much better in their performance this season than last season, I'm very sure that Barcelona will have a better result in the Europa league than last season.  In last season Barcelona was not very confident of there performance,  they were just trying their best to become better.  But right now Barcelona is in good form, even if Barcelona don't end up in winning the europa league their performance will be that better than that of last season.

The Barcelona team is currently in one of its best performances. The young players of the team have taken their best form. However, this performance of the team is only noticeable in Laliga. If Barcelona can perform like this in all leagues then the team will gain a lot.
