UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Masplanc]

I don't think United's defeat against Liverpool will affect Manchester United's upcoming matches. It was a totally unexpected defeat. No one imagined that Manchester United could be beaten so badly. It was like a nightmare. However, Ten Hag will surely learn from the mistakes made by United's players in this match and try to rectify the mistakes. And if he can correct the mistakes, Manchester United will become even stronger.

But I'm sure it will have a negative effect on how Manchester United in the upcoming matches in both Europa League and Premier League. If we think positively this game could show Manchester United they are they should b more careful they are not that strong to be sure about their victory in any team, but the negative in this team can be a bad atmosphere in the team after the match against Liverpool and the three important points they lost during this game.

If they keep thinking about their defeat against Liverpool, then it will have a bad impact, on the other hand if they make it a motivation so that the same thing does not happen, then it will have a good impact for them. Manchester United is a big team so they should be motivated instead of thinking about that, because if they can only regret it it means nothing because it won't change things. So they have to make this a lesson and be even more motivated.

So true, it will only affect them based on how they take the defeat, seeing the defeat as a motivation to become strong will Real help them to improve and become stronger to challenge other big teams. Their is nothing to feel bad or have low self confidence because of the victory.  Let it be a motivation to them.

Manchester united can still do better in their next game, I don't think their last game will weaken their performance for their next game. Manchester United will just learn lessons from what they experienced from Liverpool not to take any struggling team for granted.

Manchester united lost to Liverpool shouldn't affect their matches,especially that against Real Betis. Instead I believe that it should be able to strengthen the team more, so that they can be very careful when playing their other matches,and it is also a notification for Manchester united players to know that even if their team is strong that they can still be defeated.

Real Betis played a draw game with Real Madrid,this shows that they are capable to play and win Manchester united if they don't take the match very important. Though,EPL is different from Europa and the two clubs involved are from different leagues. Eric Hag needs to come up with how to lock his defense to avoid easy penetration of Real Betis. Football is unpredictable, that is the fun in it.

Or .... the team morale at united get down and beaten really hard for one more time by real betis at europa league that successfully held real madrid draw recently , right? This is a tricky one and i won't go placing any kind bet at this ipcoming match , could be really unexpected as well.

This thursday at the old trafford will never be easy for both.

Union berlin vs Gilloise is one of the matches that is quite interesting. If we look at these two teams, they were in the same group, but now they will meet again in the last 16 of the European league. Moreover, the two H2Hs are not much different, each team has won once in their meeting. So I think this match will be fairly even, but I have a prediction that Gilloise will hold Union Berlin to a draw away from home.

But what's more interesting is, Royale Union SG is basically the team that won Group D and Union Berlin is only the runner-up. So, with them meeting again in the round of 16, Union Berlin should be able to show its quality in this match to beat Royale Union SG.
It doesn't matter if Royale Union SG manages to hold Union Berlin to a draw when Royale Union SG plays at home, because if Union Berlin can win in the first leg then of course a draw in the second leg will still bring Union Berlin through to the quarter-finals.

Gilloise doesn't look like a strong team for me. I think that if you can see that how bad gilloise's performance in the belgia league. It's still under genk. Union berlin as a strong team in bundesliga will able to defeat it easily. We don't know what's gonna happen during the match but it seems like that draw would become the worst result for berlin. That's an easy match to predict if berlin will be winning without even need to use a lot of effort against gilloise.

The odds said everything about that.

Yes it is hard to assess what the strength of Saint Gilloise really is. There are just no occasions where I follow them to be honest. But I just had a look at the table from the Europa League and saw that they tied their home game against Braga and they won their away game against Braga with 2-1.

But Union Berlin has faced Gilloise already in the group stage and it was even. Braga won their home game 1-0 and Gilloise won their home game 1-0. I guess now is the time to finally determine who is the better team this year.

My feeling says that after the win against Ajax Amsterdam they are well equipped to take this hurdle as way.

I just noticed how confusing these play-offs are in the Europa League. Can it get even more complicated than that?

The defeat Liverpool gave to Manchester United would have affected them if they were to play Thursday match in the same environment.  But since it is in a different environment and also a different tournament, I don't think it will impact the boys negatively.
Besides, Erik Ten Hag summoned the boys for early morning meeting, and I believe the issue has been addressed

[nicolas1979]

After we watched the match between Liverpool and Manchester United in the English league, is this a bad sign for MU in the European league? We have also seen the level of ability of Real Betis which held Real Madrid to a draw.
These two clubs have never faced each other for the title, but only in friendlies. Of course the level of fighting spirit is different.

I think Union Berlin will be lucky as the first match will be in Germany. Everyone knows how passionate football is in Germany. I am sure that the fans will support Union Berlin the most in that match. On the other hand, Saint Gillose will try to beat the lap in his own court in the return leg.

[Slow death]

It's bad that this defeat happened before the EL match, it's not clear how it can affect the team...

the case of manchester united is very serious, they conceded 7 goals against liverpool which has been a very inconsistent team, so this is not something normal and without a doubt it will be affecting the whole team especially the defense guys, the goalkeeper for example De gea he is probably the biggest target in teng hag's punishments, in all portuguese newspapers they say that ten hag is very angry with the players that he has even threatened that he will demote the players who make the same mistake, in this case he will put the player on the bench and will not play in the starting 11

we have to see that in the game against liverpool, manchester united didn't manage to score at least one goal, that's not a good sign, but luckily their opponent betis is not such a difficult team to beat, they are not in better qualities than machester united, but the problem is that betis has been scoring goals frequently and the defense of manchester united will come to this game afraid of making mistakes and being punished by the coach, this will only make them make mistakes, in the attack even that manchester united can score a goal because betis has conceded a lot of goals

As the professional players wins and loses are part of the game for these players with this defeat most chances they will have no negative impact because most chances they will try to learn from their mistakes and also have this lost as lesson for the better future because if they keep this in mind and then enter in ground to face Real Betis then surely they will be under pressure and have no fair chance for the win in their important first leg match at Old Trafford.

There is no doubt this was big lost for them and no one were expecting performance like this from them in this match with Liverpool also having problems in last few weeks, and they were on verge of losing top four spots chance, but now things are improved for them as well after this big win.

Saint Gillose was at top in group stages, but they lost their last game against Union Berlin at home with now Union is going to host them at home in first leg which is surely going to be interesting because in domestic leagues both teams are having not good performance which is surely concern for them and both are looking for the better result here in this match as well with most chances in first leg match Union Berlin will be tried to have better result which helps them for having advantage for the second leg match.

Both teams are going to face each other for the fourth time as first time have club friendly match which was ended in draw and then in this event both wins in away matches which is surely interesting now hopefully things could be entertaining for the fans, and we will have good soccer from them in this round.

[el kaka22]

Europa and Premier league are very different things, just because United lost there doesn't mean that they will lose here neither. Look at Real Madrid and UCL, they beat Liverpool 5-2 and then following week they ended up failing to beat Betis, does that make sense to you?

Sometimes league is very difficult because you play so many games that unexpected results end up happening no matter what. By logic, even if we say Real is second best team, they would only lose 2 games and win all the rest? Not possible, hence these type of games happen, but Europa or UCL or even the conference league, based on elimination, so teams play their best whenever they can.

Domestic league games are completely different from the European matches because here the biggest difference is quality which is important like we have Sevilla which is near the relegation zone in La Liga but right now they are in round of 16 for the Europa Cup with having chance for the last eight as well so for me Manchester United's biggest defeat against Liverpool is surely going to have no bad impact for them as this is wake-up call for the team which was flying high after having win against Barcelona and EFL Cup, but now Ten Hag will surely boost his player's confidence before this match, and they will be on driving seat because playing at home is surely big advantage, and they can do better performance and have chance for the quarterfinal spot as well.

Your thoughts are very reasonable and make a lot of sense. These losses for Manchester United and for Sevilla mean nothing for the Europa League. Mentally, it could be a little bit of a negative impact but only for a day or two. The coaches know that they have to refresh their minds and forget about those losses as quickly as possible in order to fully concentrate on the Europa League. We will see two different teams than we now saw in the domestic leagues as you said.

You could turn it one way or another but such a loss could even lead to extra motivation. None of the players of Manchester United or Sevilla wants to continue with such a bad performance and lose all trust of their fans. They will be extremely focused and pay maximum attention to not make easy mistakes.

I as a soccer fan find it extra exciting to see how both teams cope with those devastating losses and how they turn it into positive energy. My guess is that both teams will win their home game and the bookmakers see it the same way. The odds for Manchester to win are around 1.4 and for Sevilla they are around 1.75.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United - Betis and Sporting - Arsenal are quite tough games for the English teams. Actually I still expect Manchester United to get a win in Old Trafford. That loss against Liverpool was terrifying indeed but hopefully they will still stay strong against Betis in this game. It is a nice chance to improve their performance again. It is important for them to win here as well because their job in Spain will be harder.

Arsenal might get a draw maybe. Because Sporting are also one of the decent teams of the tournament. I don't think they would lose home already. I think a draw is likely to be seen.

Manchester United's defeat at home to Liverpool in the Premier League cannot be used as a benchmark for bad things, because the conditions will be different from Manchester United facing a team in the Europa League this season even though the Europa League also has teams from the Premier League. But Real Betis, which will meet Manchester United in the Europa League in the near future, will also have to struggle more than when Real Betis faced Real Madrid in La Liga.

True but that may affect the performance from manchester united in the europa league. MU will be facing betis. Betis is now is also one of best team in la liga. Betis is still consistent even though it was playing a draw against madrid. MU will face another difficulty to beat betis caused by betis is as good as barcelona. Getting a draw against madrid was a great result for betis. Ten hag has been threatening MU's players if the bad result will be repeated again.
I saw how difficult MU was facing liverpool. The match against betis couldn't be underestimated. It may be true if betis was not among the favorites in europa league but we can be sure that even betis can give us a surprise too. Ten hag is now pressing its players with bad sanction once its club was making so many mistakes again. Ten hag is going even more harsh. Betis is not a weak opponent.

Real Betis have an unbeaten notes since the Europa League group stage. Even Roma, who are in their best performance this season, must admit the superiority of Betis.
Manchester United must be aware of that, even though they previously success in return Barcelona back from the Europa League, this does not guarantee that the Red Devils will get the same result against Betis in the coming days.
Erik ten Hag needs to restore the confidence of his players to get perfect results and realize his ambition to lift the Europa League trophy for the 2022/23 season

It was surprising that Manchester United lost by a big score to Liverpool when their form was on the rise, a Premier League defeat should be used as a boost to keep the chances in the Europa League. Manchester United will start the first leg against Betis at Old Trafford, the advantage of playing at home should be used to make things easier for them in the second leg.
Ten Hag will give direction to all of his players to play compactly so that the same mistakes don't happen again, Betis cannot be underestimated because they have just forced Real Madrid to share points in the continuation of La Liga.

[asriloni]

Manchester United - Betis and Sporting - Arsenal are quite tough games for the English teams. Actually I still expect Manchester United to get a win in Old Trafford. That loss against Liverpool was terrifying indeed but hopefully they will still stay strong against Betis in this game. It is a nice chance to improve their performance again. It is important for them to win here as well because their job in Spain will be harder.

The loss against liverpool already given impacted on the performance of the team. I do know how disappointed ten hag with the result achieved by MU against liverpool. Ten hag needs to rebuild the mentality from its team.
Ten hag has been even giving very harsh words to the its club after it was losing against liverpool. I feel how shameful ten hag after it was making hot psywar to the liverpool.

I can only hope that if MU will recover again caused by it will be facing real betis. betis is also a strong club in la liga. Losing against betis will make ten hag's reputation got destroyed.
So many people are feeling proud with MU's comeback after it was having bad start in EPL.

@asriloni how do you watch football? Because Ten Tag lose to Liverpool and probably if he lose again on Thursday to real Betis,that will ruin his reputation? Your analysis is wrong, what Ten Tag has done for this club in Just few months in charge has given him hard earned reputation that no losing can break. Ten Tag is Manchester United future, he has done well, he just has recover from the Liverpool humiliation and bounce back immediately.
Manchester United will use Real Betis to gain their confidence back.I trust this team under Ten Tag,
