UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[rendravolt]

It must be admitted that Roma's performance is quite impressive now under De Rossi's coaching, even though it was doubted at first, they are slowly proving it.
A draw against Feyenoord sometimes makes Roma quite profitable for the second leg when Roma plays at home and in my opinion Roma's percentage of qualifying is bigger now.

Maybe Feyenoord's obstacles can be overcome by Roma, but going further in the Europa League this season I have a little doubt about Roma because realistically the strength of the Roma team is no better than Liverpool and Leverkusen.

Just being able to hold Feyenoord to a draw in the first leg could be a pretty good result for Roma, especially since it is an away match for them. Actually, I didn't expect Roma to be able to do that, especially since Feyenoord has still been so consistent so far in the domestic league and at least Roma didn't lose against them. In the second leg at Roma's home ground it will be determining which of them will qualify.

Roma really benefits because they are the hosts in the second leg and are definitely also the favorites to win. They only need to win by at least 2 goals to maintain their chances and Feyenoord will be even more pressured if Roma takes the lead first. But of course Roma also need to be alert and don't let Feyenoord hold back their draw because that will only make the match even more tiring because it has to continue into extra time or even a penalty shootout.

If the coach was hired in the middle of the season and failed to sign any player that he wanted, I think that can be a little bit unfair. If anything the next season should be the full test and he will be under insane pressure if he fails to improve anything after he signs some players. On the other hand, the standard for a new and young coach should be different from somebody who has a ton of experience managing a club like Jose. It is hard to draw the line IMO, especially when fans only care about results. At the end of the day, their performance on the pitch needs to improve, regardless of whether they win the game or not.

I a gree with you. Whatever results the team achieves with the new coach, what is most needed is how they can improve their performance and quality. Coaches like De Rossi do not have much experience coaching top European teams. But I think De Rossi could have chemistry with Roma players. I saw that in the previous match they were able to perform quite well even though they lost 2-4 to Inter Milan. The draw result in the first leg can be used as a lesson for the next match in the second leg. Roma are playing as hosts and that will be in their favor. They can learn from draws and develop new and more effective game tactics.

Coming in mid-season and getting high targets is unfair, I agree with that. But the problem is with the club itself, the club doesn't want to know whether the coach enters mid-season or even towards the end of the season they will always want to get and see the best that the coach can offer.
Actually the coach must also have understood something like that, and surely they have agreed on what must be achieved on paper. Evaluation from management will be carried out whether the coach deserves to be retained or fired. But they must consider wisely by looking not at the results, but rather at the process and progress. I think if the coach shows good progress then they deserve to be retained, otherwise if they don't show good progress and even tend to decline, then maybe the management will have another decision.

I think this is a completely different case. De Rossi was initially an interim coach (Mourinho was summarily sacked and the management did not have time to find a serious replacement so they chose him). They don’t expect anything special from him, but most likely no one promised him the position of head coach for the next season, he can only get it by showing something extraordinary, like Xabi, who came to Bayer wich was hanging out near the relegation zone and lifted it up.
To be honest, in the case of Roma, I don’t expect anything like this. Let their games be brighter (2-4 with Inter is quite spectacular), but the result in terms of points will be no better than under Mourinho.

But of course Roma also need to be alert and don't let Feyenoord hold back their draw because that will only make the match even more tiring because it has to continue into extra time or even a penalty shootout.

With the draw at Feyenoord's home ground, Roma will of course be more confident about the second leg which will be played in front of their own supporters, which will make Roma's percentage of winning the match much greater.

Roma's recent performance has really surprised many people because many people thought that after changing coaches, the Roma team would experience a decline in performance in the Europa League and many even doubted them, but in fact this was not the case and De Rossi was able to answer all people's doubts about him.

[QueenVera]

Draw when playing away was more than enough for roma to make sure it can qualify for the next stage. Feyenoord will be on the disadvantage caused the club must have faced the weak team. This is going to hurt it coz the club must have been performing better compared to the roma.
Playing away will be also disrupting the mentality from feyenoord's player as well. This is greatly impacting the performance from the club. So, roma needs to go all out against it. It's caused by the club must have won the game.
Roma needs to paid off when it was failed to get good result last season. I think that the club needs to learn a lot to get the main weakness from the feyenoord.
Im sure that if feyenoord will not be missing last opportunity to keep playing in the europa league this seaosn. The clubs will be going all in. We can only wait and see what's going to happen with them all at the second leg. Roma will be playing away and playing in front of its fans will be boosting the morality from players.
It's likely btts will happen in this game. These clubs will be going all in to beat each other to qualify for the further stage.

Well the draw at Feynoord gives Roma the advantage in this fixture and this is a big boost and relief for the Roma team. Yes because they’ll now be playing in their own ground and will have the greater percent of the fans backing them up. For this match I think Feynoord will be coming all out to redeem themselves and through this tactics Roma can hit on them on a counter whilst they try to make sire their defense line stays in shape.

 Btts in this second leg will be quite realistic as both of these teams are quite good and will be coming at each other but I believe Roma will sure have the upper hands as they’re going to play in their ground. De Rossi is looking like he’s knowing what he’s doing and the Roma fans seem to be pleased with the improvements he’s brought and he’ll be applauded if he can get this team back in shape to get a ucl spot next season.

[Gencecikmen]

The most surprising match of this week in the UEFA Europa League was the Braga-Qarabag match. Qarabag defeated Braga 4-2 away. 4 goals and this result makes them in the comfortable position especially in the second leg. I believe that Qarabag will also win in the second leg. However Braga still has a chance in the second leg to turn the situation.

[Oneandpure]

Aggregate is 1 - 1 and in the next match for the 2nd leg it will be home match for AS Roma and of course it will make it easier for them to get win and be able to continue to the next round, I very confident in AS Roma performance to be able to beat Feyenoord.
This is not about the presence of Lukaku, but because the advantage is on AS Roma side and of course in the second leg of the match AS Roma will be expected to have at least 1 goal advantage, all fans hopes for victory are very high.
This match is also an opportunity for De Rossi to show the quality of his work as coach and this can also give him positive sentiment that he is worthy of replacing Mourinho temporarily until the season is over.

It is very clear because Milan has an aggregate of 3 - 0 and in the 2nd leg match Milan just needs to be more careful and make it possible to get win or at least draw.

Crucial for second leg match between AS Roma vs Feyenoord, first leg both team get aggregate 1-1 and has the same opportunity on second leg match although with little advantage for Roma will playing in their home. Feyenoord won't loss the opportunity after eliminating in Champion League and losses chance for participating in Europe League this season.
Currently, Daniele De Rossi have showed the best performed for AS Roma fans, won 3 of 5 matches all competition seems not really bad as his position new Roma's manager. Qualified to 16 of round in Europe League will make fans more excited and has large chance for De Rossi get permanent contract become AS Roma manager next season.

They can learn from draws and develop new and more effective game tactics.

I don't think I would personally consider Roma as a top European team because they have not been such a team thst can be seen in such light yet, they are yet to have the performance a d potential to see them as top but then they will be rather see as an average team across Europe and I will see that as to be fair enough.

De Rossi is actually trying for a coach with less experience around Europe a d he did joined the team only a few weeks , more like middle of the season and yet he's been very optimal with his performance even if it's looking like he yet to get some real tough challenge but his performance against inter Milan which happens to be one of his first top challenge was such that he lost but with a fair performance somehow I'm begging to think that if Rossi is given some more time he could do much better .

Yeah you're right, Roma did a good job by stealing a point away from their home ground, Feyenoord really wanted getting the whole 3 points, they dominated the game and created more chances, they even scored an opener at the extra minutes of the 1st half to show how serious they were. But Roma didn't give up, seems De Rossi did a lot of motivation to his boys in the dressing rooom and they took the 2nd half seriously by winning that round with a goal in the 67th minute.

 Roma have got a big advantage in qualifying for the next round, cause Feyenoord woud be visiting them in their next meet. Yes Feyenoord might be a tough nut to crack but Roma's got a home advantage with the help of their fans cheering them to secure the full 3 points, Roma has to do their best and utilize their home advantage properly to qualify for the next round, they've seen how tough Feynoord could be so they shouldn't take chances.

Salvaging a point out of the game while on thes road is a good one, now they have to seat put and do all they can to make sure they get the better of the second leg of the Europa League Competition play off.
With Jose Mourinho they've won easily against them years ago. This year, they'll have to make sure they repeat whatever Jose Mourinho has done during the first season.

I believe they'll get the better of the next game definitely. Most thrilling is the game between AC Milan and also Rennes of The French League one.

With the draw at Feyenoord's home ground, Roma will of course be more confident about the second leg which will be played in front of their own supporters, which will make Roma's percentage of winning the match much greater.

Roma's recent performance has really surprised many people because many people thought that after changing coaches, the Roma team would experience a decline in performance in the Europa League and many even doubted them, but in fact this was not the case and De Rossi was able to answer all people's doubts about him.

This result matches my predicted scenario, considering that AS Roma's performance was slightly better. plus, De Rossi carries an offensive pattern. different from Mourinho's style, who tends to apply a defensive pattern in almost every away match. in the first leg match, De Rossi could be said to be able to match the home team's play. thus, Roma has quite a favorable chance for De Rossi and his team when playing the match at the Stadio when Olimpico hosts the match against Feyenoord.

Talking about the second leg match, the situation is now a bit reversed. this time, Roma is slightly superior if we refer to the betting market. For the time being, Roma is slightly ahead with odds @2.09. while Feyenoord with odds @3.45. well, I'm sure the second leg will present quite an interesting and exciting battle for us to watch. at the same time, we will see how De Rossi brings his team's squad when hosting the match against Feyenoord. well, can De Rossi bring his team through, soon we will know the results.

[jaberwock]

Roma indeed have a better odds than Feyenoord. Even if the ranking is not the same for the two clubs in their respective leagues but Serie A remains better than Eredivisie.
Roma playing home @2 vs Feyenoord away @3.4. Additionally, Roma used to beat Feyenoord in the past so I expect them to win too.
From what I see, odds are all in favour of the home team except for Qarabag and Toulouse which have worse odds. For Rennes - Milan and Sparta Praha and Galatasaray, the odds are almost similar in this second leg.

Yes, as long as you still have Lukaku, Roma's condition will be fine in the 2nd leg match and being the host makes the Roma players more confident in being able to beat Feyenoord and it is very profitable to bet on Roma winning with odds @2
For Qarabag it is certain that they will qualify because they are ahead with 4 aggregate scores and for Toulouse I am not sure whether they can qualify against Benfica and I have not yet seen what odds the bookies have given but at least some matches are easy to predict.
For Milan, they have been guaranteed to qualify because Rennes has performed very poorly in the UEL this season.

There were discussions between Lukaku and Roma already, regards to him staying and he is fine with that from the reports, it looks like he could actually do that. This of course depends on Roma being able to buy him out as well but that won't be the easy part, it will take a while for that to happen.

I believe that Chelsea will not want to sell him all that easily, and it will mean that they will want a good sum of money for him to be transferred. Not that they want something huge, not like 50 million or something, lukaku is older now and he could go for cheaper, but I still doubt he would be free neither, that feels not possible. I think the best way to go about this would be just paying them 10-15 million, and keeping his salary about the same as it is now.

Qarabag defeated Braga 4-2 away. 4 goals and this result makes them in the comfortable position especially in the second leg. I believe that Qarabag will also win in the second leg. However Braga still has a chance in the second leg to turn the situation.

In my view, although Braga is still part of the top team in the Portuguese league but yes, Braga is a top team in the Portuguese league that is difficult to get a stable performance compared to Sporting and Porto there. Therefore, although there is still a second leg but yes, I think there is no longer a good chance for Braga to be able to turn things around. Because after all, Braga lost with a big score of 4-2 and of course, with such situations and conditions Qarabag will also be able to maintain its advantage and moreover Qarabag will also play at home in the second leg later. So yes, with results like this I personally believe that Qarabag will be the team that qualifies because of course, it is difficult for Braga with the performance that Braga currently has to be able to make a comeback.

Romelu Lukaku is a vital Chelsea player, he got loaned out for the free space of Christopher Nkunku. I don't missed him that much because he doesn't serve any better spots than missing big chances. Romelu Lukaku created a name for himself and position in EPL during his early days of playing brilliant style of football. Perhapes Lukaku is older and experienced, there are certain qualities he no longer adapts to but prove to be a better version of himself, not minding the recent flops he encountered in these previous clubs he played for. AS Roma, his present team utilized his strength in the frontline.

Since he joined Roma last summer, Romelu Lukaku without doubt have been very impressive for his new  club and that has raised many suggestions from the media on wether he'll stay at the club beyond the current season or not but as someone who's been closely following the development of Romelu Lukaku's stay at AS Roma, I think the Belgium international isn't gonna stay at the club beyond the end of the current season.
Age wise, Romelu Lukaku has joined the league of football veterans and I don't expect him to play for any other European club when his current loan contract with AS Roma expires at the end of the current season rather, I think he's gonna move to the Saudi Arabian League next season.

Pochettino, with all his ambition, failed to see the potential in Lukaku, how could he allow an experienced striker to be loaned to another club, and instead he relied on young players who had minimal playing time. His harmonious relationship with Mourinho has seen him come to Roma, after Chelsea did not include him in his plans for this season, and Lukaku did not reach an agreement with Inter Milan and Juventus.

It is proven that Lukaku presence at Roma has helped the club become more aggressive, even though they have now parted ways with the veteran coach from Portugal. De Rossi should be able to ask Roma officials to recruit Lukaku permanently from Chelsea, Lukaku can still be relied on on the front lines and help Roma for the next season or two.

However, if an offer from the SPL comes in, it will be very difficult for any team to refuse it. We know the offer they have put forward is fantastic, and Roma will be hard pressed to compete with them in their pursuit of Lukaku signature. It is possible that he will move to the SPL, and also if Pochettino is fired he might return to Chelsea.

[bering]

To be honest, I also want to see Roma get quite tough opponents so that it can be a true test for new coaches.

If the coach was hired in the middle of the season and failed to sign any player that he wanted, I think that can be a little bit unfair. If anything the next season should be the full test and he will be under insane pressure if he fails to improve anything after he signs some players. On the other hand, the standard for a new and young coach should be different from somebody who has a ton of experience managing a club like Jose. It is hard to draw the line IMO, especially when fans only care about results. At the end of the day, their performance on the pitch needs to improve, regardless of whether they win the game or not.

It's true that in fact, Roma being able to maintain its current performance is already a good achievement shown by De Rossi. Because after all, De Rossi only has a half-season contract at Roma. So next season maybe Roma will have a new coach. But if De Rossi proves that he is a coach worth retaining then the club will definitely offer him a new, longer contract.

The draw against Feyenoord was actually not that bad. Because it was an away game for Roma. And now we just have to wait whether Roma will be able to win when they host.

Roma will have new coach or not it depend on De Rossi himself because if De Rossi can able to bringing Roma to reach Roma owner target which mean to achieve champion league zone spots then most likely De Rossi will gets contract extension from Roma but if at the end of this season he was failed to bringing Roma to playing at champion league then most likely Roma will have new manager and actually Roma under De Rossi has good significant progress although they had just lost from Inter Milan at Serie A but so far Roma was performing well under him

About Roma match in this competition yesterday i think they can performing well even at the beginning of this match Roma starting to playing attacking and they got several opportunities to scores but indeed it's not easy to beat Feyenoord at their home because on Europa Competitions or Eredivisie Feyenoord was very strong at there but this draw result is very favorable for Roma because at least they didn't lost and for second leg i am sure De Rossi have already to evaluate this result so Roma will be able to performing well later and it's not difficult for Roma to advances to the next round because they just need to win the second leg match with score 1-0 and i am sure Roma will be able to do that and beat Feyenoord

[klidex]

With the draw at Feyenoord's home ground, Roma will of course be more confident about the second leg which will be played in front of their own supporters, which will make Roma's percentage of winning the match much greater.

The playing styles of coaches Daniele de Rossi and Jose Mourinho are different and I admit I was one of the many people who doubted Daniele de Rossi's abilities and yes this was due to the new coach's lack of experience, but it turns out he was able to dispel everyone's doubts with his performance. The club is getting better and I didn't expect that the adaptation between players and coaches could be so fast in establishing chemistry. I hope De Rossi can continue to provide good strategies for Roma so they can compete with top clubs in European league competition in the title race.

In the second leg Roma will play at home and this is a big advantage for Roma to get rid of Feyenoord in the European league competition, but the odds that Roma have are quite big and tempting and I'm sure many people are favorites for Roma in this match. I don't hesitate to bet on Roma in this matches.

[Godday]

In my view, although Braga is still part of the top team in the Portuguese league but yes, Braga is a top team in the Portuguese league that is difficult to get a stable performance compared to Sporting and Porto there. Therefore, although there is still a second leg but yes, I think there is no longer a good chance for Braga to be able to turn things around.

So yes, with results like this I personally believe that Qarabag will be the team that qualifies because of course, it is difficult for Braga with the performance that Braga currently has to be able to make a comeback.

If you look at the game of the two teams, I think Braga should have dominated the match. They even had 9 shots on target. This is much more than Qarabag which only had 5 shots on target. But they were great because they were able to score 4 goals. I agree with you that although Braga is one of the top clubs in the Portuguese league but they are not Porto, Benfica and Lisbon which are considered as strong teams in Europe. So I think if they play like last night maybe they will get a win but I think it's hard to get a 3 goal margin in that game.

Lukaku plays great at times that surprises me, but sometimes I have difficulty recognizing him. Still, I have to admit that he is one of the strikers I enjoy watching. He was the player who scored Roma's only goal against Feyenoord. Thus, they returned from the Netherlands to Italy with a score that could be considered advantageous. If they beat them in the rematch, they will advance to the next round. I hope Lukaku plays well in the rematch.

Frankly, this victory of Qarabağ is a product of a magnificent performance. Although Braga was seen as the favorite by everyone before the match, Qarabağ will try to maintain its 2-goal advantage in order to get a 4-goal win and advance to the next round on its home field. I am sure that they will play closed football in Azerbaijan. It will be an unfortunate rematch for Braga.
