UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[tiCeR]

Since the start of the season, Brighton performance has continued to improve, so I am not surprised by Brighton's 2-0 win at home, but mentally the Brighton team is still very unstable in the Europa League, so they lost against AEK Athens on their first matchday.
~snip~

I think as a newcomer, this result is already pretty good. I'm a little optimistic about Brighton.  Ajax are not a small team, they are an experience team in the UCL or Europa League. This victory made their chances even greater to qualify for the knockout round. They can draw against Marseille and they should be able to seize the moment when playing at home. Then get at least one point in every away match or three points when facing AEK. Plus obliged to win against Marseille at home. Otherwise, their steps will be a little heavy.

The truth is that Brighton have really being impressive in their first season in the UEFA Europa League and as a first time experience, it's fair to tag them good with the results they've been able to achieve so far.
That being said, we mustn't conclude that they're strong enough to compete for Europa League trophy because the only team they were able to beat in the competition this season is Ajax who's been absolutely poor since the start of the season especially in their league. With the current squad and performance of Brighton, I don't think they can make it pass the quarter final stages of the competition.

Brighton is strange because they have these very weird results but in both directions.

When you look at their season, they got started with two games winning both of them 4-1. Then they lose at home against West Ham 1-3, but then win against Newcastle 3-1. Then they win against Manchester United away 3-1 and after another 3-1 at home, they lose 1-6 against Aston Villa. What the.... is going on there? In my opinion these results are really weird and it would destroy their Europa League dreams if they have one bad day and lose a game big time in the knockout rounds.

Brighton has 4 points now. The club can easily go to the next stage if brighton will able to winning another game soon. Brighton was slowly but surely going back to the what it used to be. It will not really surprise me caused by brighton basically has better quality compared with the rest of clubs in this group but i don't know why brighton was playing so average. Some changes being made by zerbi in the club and it was able giving three points for brighton. The competition is also very strict this time.
Brighton has same points with AEK once marseille is still leading the group stage this time. Brighton has only 1 point gap to the marseille which is proven if it will not be so hard for brightont to lead the group stage.
Let's see what's gonna come for brighton soon. The club needs to win the remaining match to be the winner of this group. Ajax was the worst team in this group. No doubt if it was always struggle in getting three points from other club.
Brighton is still in the safe position right now. The club may not have chance if brighton would be failed to get the three points from the last game.

Liverpool did bad in the Premier League last season and so that they are struggle in the Europa League this season. We can consider them as the favorite team for UEFA Europa League this season. Liverpool success won 3 of 3 matches in Europe League. Despite not playing all of Liverpool's core players under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool defeated Toulouse 5-1 at home.

Liverpool is definitely displaying great promise this season, judging by their recent Europa League success. Even without their best players, they defeated Toulouse handily, demonstrating the depth of talent in the team. It is evident from the fact that Klopp's team scored five goals against such a formidable opponent, I feel. Even if they didnt perform well in the Premier League the previous year, their present performance indicates they're ready for a successful campaign in both domestic and European leagues. However, given the unpredictable nature of football, it is imperative that both the team and the supporters avoid becoming complacent. Will Liverpool be able to keep up this pace throughout? Im glued to the screen

Liverpool is performing really well right now. The recent loss that I can think of was against Tottenham, and of course, Tottenham is the team that is in the first position right now. But then that loss could have been easily avoided.  Anyway if we talk about the Europa League competition, I do not think that there are any teams that will actually cause Liverpool too many problems,  to be honest. At least not till we reach the semi-final or final of the competition. I have high hopes for Liverpool in this season in almost all the competitions. I hope they will be able to deliver.

Yes, Liverpool has indeed performed well this season, both in the Premier League and in the European League, so far Liverpool has only suffered one defeat in the Premier League and in the European League, Liverpool has also performed well, although many think that Liverpool will have the opportunity to win the European League this season. but we can not just judge because its too early for thats, Liverpool struggle to win the title is still long. Apart from that, Liverpool also has strong rivals who have the potential to win the European League title this seasons, namely Leverkusen and Roma, they both haven't suffered defeat in 3 match in European league I think the competition between the three of them will be quite fierce and they will fight as hard as possible in this competitions.

So far there haven't been any difficulties for Liverpool in the Europa League match because they haven't met a comparable opponent, and indeed if you look at the quality as a whole then it cannot be denied that Liverpool is a team that has above average quality.
Leverkusen and Roma are indeed strong teams, but in my opinion, the quality of Leverkusen and Roma is still slightly below Liverpool, but in the Europa League there are many surprises that happen, so even though Liverpool are very favorites to become champions, that doesn't mean their percentage will be high and their journey will be easy.

In my opinion these results are really weird and it would destroy their Europa League dreams if they have one bad day and lose a game big time in the knockout rounds.

The conclusion is that they cannot maintain their performance or can be said to be far from consistent, it's just that if they can still win against a strong team then they will still be safe in the English Premier League.
Meanwhile, the European league is still in doubt but they still have a chance to qualify for the group phase, because from group B it seems that only Ajax can be guaranteed to be eliminated seeing how bad they are in three matches, while Brighton has the same points as AEK Athens and also only 1 point different from Marseille, they still have the same chance, the question is how they will face AEK Athens in the away match and also face Marseille, whereas when they face Ajax they should be able to make good use of it by winning. Lack of experience playing in European competitions could be an obstacle for Brighton when they have to face quite tight matches.

In my opinion, winning against Ajax is quite a good achievement for Brighton. And yes, this makes me quite optimistic that Brighton will be able to qualify from the group stage. Even in the match against Ajax we could see Brighton dominating the match quite convincingly. Even the Ajax players had to make a foul to stop the Brighton players. The next match against Ajax again at Ajax's home ground might not be as easy as yesterday's match. But I am optimistic that Brighton will not lose points in this match. Brighton might be able to win even with a narrow score. Because I saw that there was quite a striking difference in strength between Brighton and Ajax in their last match a few days ago.

I agree it's quite an achievement that Brighton won Ajax in their last game buy then Ajax hasn't been in their best of form this season, they have really been weak at their domestic league aswell, their total performance this season has been poor more like underperforming.

I don't know if it's the change of coach that is affecting them this bad because they were way beyond this performance last season.

Brighton has been average with their performance this season, they have not been too bad neither have they been at their best performance too this season, buy they obviously have a place in the Europa if they could be consistent with their performance and wins.

Brighton and Ajax basically did not perform satisfactorily in the Europa League Group B matches, so both have the same potential to win. Luckily, Brighton was able to maximize their home game to win the match after the previous 2 disappointing matches, so now they have pocketed 4 points from 3 matches. Meanwhile, I can still assume that each team still has a chance to qualify for the next round even though currently Ajax have not won a single match, but they already have 2 points from 3 matches.

From group B, I feel a little confident that Marseille and Brighton have a good chance of qualifying for the next round even though AEK Athens also have the same points as Brighton. The next few matches will be very decisive, but Brighton only has 1 home match that can be in their favor.

Brighton & Hove Albion's triumph over Ajax at the American Express Community Stadium was were deserving because de Godenzonen are not in good form and underperforming this season, as evidenced by their statistics in their domestic league. On second thought, doesn't seem the signal essentially a team that the Seagulls should comfortably defeat? Roberto De Zerbi hopes to acquire additional points for the purpose to qualify for the Europa League from Group B. Brighton are presently #3 in their group table, having won their first game against Ajax, and they are moving on to the second legs, which they are expected to make improvements on.

I personally don't agree with AS Roma being included in the Europa League title candidates this season because for me, if the competing teams are Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen. Then I think, it is clear that AS Roma do not have the same quality as Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen at this moment . Also, although this seems like an early assessment but ya, at least we have realized that teams like Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have a good chance of becoming title candidates this season. Therefore, there is certainly nothing wrong because after all, the reality is that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen currently have a great trend as well in all competitions.

Roma were finalists last season, so they cannot be underestimated. Indeed, at the start of this season, Roma's performance was a little inconsistent, but there is better progress in this team every week, making it possible for them to be able to compete fiercely in the race for the Europa League title. they did last season.
In terms of team quality, I also think that Roma is not stronger compared to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, but we will never know how the team will develop or decline in the course of this season, this season is still very long and it is possible for the team to be better or vice versa.

Brighton beat 6-1 against Ajax. We can say that Ajax had no chances and it is strange to see such a club as Ajax in such a terrible situation. In their domestic league, Ajax are sitting in the relegation zone with 1 victory after 7 rounds. Ajax fans are disappointed this season. Brighton, on the other hand, continues its rising performance from last year this season. They can surprise in the Europa League this season.

Which match are you discussing here, I didn't find that Brighton beat Ajax with a landslide score of 6-1, the match in Group B of the Europa League between Brighton vs Ajak ended 2-0 in favor of Brighton. Brighton victory not only opened up their chances of qualifying for the next round, but also recorded the club's history of achieving their first win in European competition. This result helped Brighton swap positions with Ajax at the bottom of the standings. Brighton sits in third place after getting three additional points, while Ajax dropped to the bottom of the standings.

What you say is true, Brighton won the match with a score of 2-0, I see that Ajax's performance in the local league is indeed declining sharply in several matches, I'm not too confident about Ajax in the future in this league.

I also hope that Brighton must continue to show its performance which is on fire and continue to be united in the team, the struggle is not only in Eufa but the local league must continue to maintain it if next year it will return to Eufa. This is the next tough task for a coach to prepare each player to stay fit in every match.

Ajax of Netherland hasn't been at the best of them best else who is a low rated team like Brighton to challenge one of European finest clubs at a top level.
Ajax have been a disaster during league games and European Competition.

Brighton on the other hand are not so consistent, they also been struggling since they got the chance to play in the European Europa League Competition for the very first time in the entire clubs history.
Their general performance have this declined both in the Premier League and Europa League Competition. They've just gotten to win them first game against a declined Ajax.

The result match Brighton vs Ajax was predictable because Ajax was very weak this season and Brighton know how to utilized Ajax condition because until now i don't understand what happend to Ajax because at Europa League and Eredivisie their performance were compeletelly messed up because their position at this competition and Eredivisie was in the bottom of standings and i am sure for upcoming match although this is home match for Ajax but Brighton can able to  beat Ajax again and collect 3 points and i have a feeling Ajax most likely will ended group stages without the winning results and for Brighton if they really can beat Ajax then Brighton will have 7 points from 4 matches

The condition of the Ajax team is very chaotic, really chaotic. Their performance was truly poor in all competitions and it would not be surprising if they ultimately failed to progress to the next round of the Europa League. I didn't fully realize that Ajax was bottom of the Eredivisie League standings this season, but once I realized it, I really believed they would just fail miserably in the Europa League.

It's hard to explain what a team like Ajax is going through, I think everyone would be surprised by them. Ajax have only collected 5 points from 8 league matches so far, of course this has left them slumped at the bottom of the standings even though they have 2 games in hand compared to several other teams. As the team that most dominates the Eredevisie, it would not be right to underestimate their ability to recover before the end of the season. They just need improvement and good self-confidence, but many changes also need to be improved.

Currently Ajax is one of the worst team in Eredivisie with at the bottom and two matches in hand same happening in Europa League because after three matches they are at the bottom even still have chance for the second spot or Conference League, but they are really chaotic which is not suitable for the team like Ajax.

Even nothing is clear what's happening to them, but currently they are not alone with we have few other teams in UEFA which are suffering like them and having the worst start of the season with not able to improve their performance and rank as well.

Hopefully management will try to settle problems which are preventing them from having better results and improving their performance which is important because if they are not able to do things for improvement then surely after January things can go from bad to worse for them.

There is no doubt about this Brighton done good job and beats Ajax at home but in next round which is going to play at Amsterdam things can change with Ajax can fight back and have win which will bring them back into competition for the qualification into next round as well Brighton have to play away games and Ajax having advantage to play few games at home can change the fortune for them.

Brighton is also having problems in domestic league, but they are still doing good in both and their performance giving them good chance for having better results in coming matches as well Ajax needs to work on their strategy and Brighton is also surely having problems in last few matches which is also needed to be fixed before it's too late.

[hahay]

Since the start of the season, Brighton performance has continued to improve, so I am not surprised by Brighton's 2-0 win at home, but mentally the Brighton team is still very unstable in the Europa League, so they lost against AEK Athens on their first matchday.

I think as a newcomer, this result is already pretty good. I'm a little optimistic about Brighton.  Ajax are not a small team, they are an experience team in the UCL or Europa League. This victory made their chances even greater to qualify for the knockout round. They can draw against Marseille and they should be able to seize the moment when playing at home. Then get at least one point in every away match or three points when facing AEK. Plus obliged to win against Marseille at home. Otherwise, their steps will be a little heavy.

The truth is that Brighton have really being impressive in their first season in the UEFA Europa League and as a first time experience, it's fair to tag them good with the results they've been able to achieve so far.

With the current squad and performance of Brighton, I don't think they can make it pass the quarter final stages of the competition.

If you realize, Ajax in this season is very devastated because after all, in Eredivisie the fact is that Ajax is at the bottom of the table at the moment. So yes, it is also not surprising if at this moment Ajax is a team that is at the bottom of the table also in the Europa League in group B. Thus, then of course Brighton can maximize this moment to be able to finish in second place or maybe, for the group winner. Because after all, their points achievement is also still very close, Marseille has 5 points, AEK and Brighton both have 4 points at the moment. With points like that, then of course Brighton still has a very good chance to qualify and to go further in the knockout phase later, I believe Brighton has a pretty good chance here.

Domestic performance never been having any impact on UEFA performance right now I have strong feeling for the AS Roma because they are doing impressive in Europa Cup and have fair chance for the having spot into top four as well in three games they concede only one goal and score eight which is giving all details how strong they are in this cup and have good chance for staying for top ranks as well.

Currently we have three teams which are having 100% performance in early games and no doubt AS Roma is weakest from other two teams, but things could be taken right turn after we have teams from Champions League into this event because this could be also important and situation can take good change for any team.

I dont make so much analisys in the Europa League because for me Europa League starts when the UCL teams falls into Europa league in the 16 round, you can be the best team in Europa LEague but for some bad luck you have to face a top team from UCL and you can be out .

It is obvious that Ajax played very badly this year. They are last in the Eredivisie, last in the UEL. They also risked their chances of getting out of the group by losing to Brighton in their group. The next match is again against Brighton and if they lose here again, they will fight to go to the conference league. Ajax may be going through the worst period in the team's history.
