UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[beerlover]

I agree that Liverpool is one of the top European teams, but I don't agree if their players have good mentality. We can say Liverpool players have good mentality few seasons ago, sadly it is no longer the same in this season. If they have good mentality, they must play consistently and will have no problems in EPL this season. In fact, we can see Liverpool is struggling to stay in the top 3 of the table, it seems they play inconsistently.

Competition for ranks 1-5 in the Premier League is very tight. All teams are only 1-2 points apart in each ranking. This proves that Liverpool is not fighting hard to be in 3rd place. All the top teams in the English league are trying to maintain their respective rankings. So I can say that Liverpool is still the same as the previous few seasons, only they are playing quite badly and inconsistently this season.

I do believe that they are doing fine, look at the City game they just played, they got a tie at City's stadium, that should definitely be an important situation. Plus, City may look great but they are in trouble about financial fair play as well, been getting investigations all the time, and that means even we know it is not going to be all of them, if they get even half of them stick, we could see City drop leagues by far, and Liverpool would have been the rightful winners, even if they can't get the actual title.

So all in all, I would say that Liverpool is fighting against the best of them this season, they are capable of getting a tie against City in an away game, so these Europa cup teams are nothing for them.

Liverpool is going to face LASK and it's an easy game for liverpool. The club still needs to win that came to make sure that if liverpool can stay at the top. The gap to the LASK and union saint are quite big but liverpool may be losing a stop at the knock out stage if the club will get two losses in a row. People are not willing to see that happens. Klopp shall not be doing another stupid thing like using the secondary squad to play in europa league.

The quality of secondary squad far worse. Liverpool needs to use the main squad to make sure the club can qualify to the next stage. Klopp shall stop to take it easy its opponent. I don't wanna see liverpool to get another lose against LASK. The club shall stop to do stupid things like the match against toulouse.

Well you're right, Liverpool are the favorites to win that game, because they'll be facing a weak side LASK team that are at the bottom of the Group E table with just 3 points, which they got by beating Union Saint-Gilliose in their last Europa League match, Lask might have been Successful in the last game bit I doubt if they'll be able to beat liverpool who are the leaders of their group at Anfield, though nothing is impossible in football, but it would be suprising and LASK would really have to work very hard on the pitch to get 3 points at Anfield.

 Last time Klopp used his 2nd squad in the Europa League competition this season, it wasn't really successful, and I think he's not going to make such mistake again even though LASK is not a very tough team for them, they still need to secure the 3 points and top with 12points, getting another lose against LASK would really get the fans worried and begin to panic it might even lead to a confusion in the dressing room and weaken the morale of some players which is something Klopp wouldn't want.

Jurgen Klopp is not in a hurry; rather, he takes the time to think out the necessary important game strategies, and he is going to offer his all for the squad that has harbored him for years. LASK Linz is seen as a mediocre club that will never surpass the high standards set by Liverpool in the Europa League this season, facing them means another easy three points for liverpool. All of these Liverpool meetings are not even considered difficult matches for the Reds since, having sat down and watched their Europa League games, they simply gain three points from their opponents.

The squad rotation from Jurgen Klopp wasn't a stupid decision, it just didn't bring the required points. Anyways fans will always demand more from the players and will always want to win. ( At most the die hard fans and those that placed bets on Liverpool to win ) The lose won't leave them in a dangerous position so it was a nice shot.

That's correct and they should be ready for the challenges ahead. Clubs knocked out of the Champions League would be down there with them. They'll have to go harder or be amongst those going home also. They remain the biggest European side from the Premier League.

Considering that Liverpool has two quite tough grounds, especially when they visit the Etihad Stadium. It is very natural for Klopp to rotate some of his players, even giving opportunities to young players and other second-tier players. As you say, Klopp has weighed it up with consequences as a result. Finally, Liverpool collapsed against Toulouse. In that match, Klopp tried to respond quickly in the second half by including several of his core players. Unfortunately, the final result of the match was won by Toulouse.
Even so, Liverpool's position remains safe and remains in first place in Group E. Liverpool only needs to secure their remaining two matches with a win, and ensure they qualify for the next round as group winners.

So, back to the rotation that Klopp did. In the end, Liverpool was still able to be consistent in their domestic league. in particular, able to keep up with Man City even though they were playing away from home. and as you said, most fans of a team always want their favorite team to win the match. In fact, they don't even look at the other matches they will face in various competitions. For the teams that were eliminated in the Champions League group phase, we'll just have to wait and there are no definite results yet. Let's just enjoy the matches that will be presented in this competition before the group phase ends.

It's true that Liverpool is Europe's top team and they have a pretty good mentality, but this is a Europa League competition which is full of surprises, so I think even though Liverpool are favorites to win the title this season, their percentage is not that big.
I still remember last season how Arsenal were the favorites to win the Europa League but in reality they had to leave early, maybe the same goes for Liverpool this season especially since they also have to focus on the fierce competition in the Premier League in the race for the title.

Liverpool is the favourite to win the Europa this season due to their performance so far in the Europa and their domestic league aswell, considering that they look like almost the only biggest team  so far in the Europa this season except for a few team.

Liverpool's mentality is focused on winning the Europa this season because it looks like an opportunity for them to win the league this season, Liverpool is very much aware of the competition in the premier league of which they are still doing well there regardless so I don't think they will really be having issues at the Europa except when they will be joined by teams from the UCL , they may experience a bit of tough times but if they get past it then they can be sure to make to winning the league titles.

Yes, Liverpool seems to be the only big team from the Premier League competing in the European League, but Liverpool has strongst competitors this season if they want to win the European League title, namely Bayer Leverkusen and the clubs that will be relegated from the Champions League. It is not easy to wins the European League title if Liverpool want it, Liverpool must fight and continue to be consistent in facing matches in the European league.

It seems like Kloop not only has a mission to win the European League title but also the Premier League, but in the Premier League, Liverpool also has strong competitors, namely Arsenal and Manchester City, but currently Liverpool point difference between these two clubs very thin and Liverpool is in 3rd place so Liverpool can still catch up and try to place themselves in first placed in the next matches.

No, we will never be able to predict who will win the Europa League this season even though Liverpool, which is team with quite good progress, is still not certain to be able to fight for the title.
There are several other great teams and there are also other teams from the UCL that will enter the European League and will be pressure for all teams including Liverpool.
We know they have the quality to play well and have good line-up but that can never be guaranteed.

Liverpool's mentality is focused on winning the Europa this season because it looks like an opportunity for them to win the league this season, Liverpool is very much aware of the competition in the premier league of which they are still doing well there regardless so I don't think they will really be having issues at the Europa except when they will be joined by teams from the UCL , they may experience a bit of tough times but if they get past it then they can be sure to make to winning the league titles.

Moreover, it is still early days and still in the group phase so there will always be unexpected surprises from every team participating in this competition. Thinking that Liverpool can win the League this season just because of chance is not the right thing and it is still too early to say all this.
Klopp is not focusing his team on the Premier League, but they are trying to get UCL tickets for next season so they will still try to have top ranking in the Premier League.
But this season there is no chance for Liverpool to win the title.

Yeah you are right because if you watch closely on the Europa teams you will see that Liverpool doesn't have a much rival on the league because there performance in Europa has been so good and they have been leading on there group since the league started.

But however the only rival Liverpool has on there group is Toulouse because they have been also very good performance they have also maintain the second position on there league group and also there performance and Liverpool seem almost the same because they won Liverpool on there home while Liverpool also win them when they came to there home.

Liverpool coach Jurgen who’ll be finding it so hard to make some rotations especially having fall from rotations he made during the Europa League match against Toulouse where he tried to redeem himself by getting his main starters into the match at start of 2nd half, but his changes couldn’t change the score line, Jurgen will be left to try out on some rotations again especially due to the fact that his next 2 matches will be away from home and he really needs to get at least a point from those matches.

 I trust Jurgen with his experience to make the right selections and rotations this time because the saying goes: Once bitten, twice shy. Yes, he might probably make mistakes but I feel they won’t cost him that much as losing the match due to fatigue from the players.

This rotation process has helped Jurgen and his Liverpool side keep it at bay with Title contenders, Arsenal and Manchester City and the fans are really enjoying their season as long as the coach keeps getting them massive 3 points and at least a point when one point seems far fetched, I think Jurgen will really hand this Liverpool side a trophy this season because he’s built his squad depth and can cover up when injury occurs and that’s what most coaches needs to learn.

[Blitzboy]

Liverpool have not been inconsistent in Europa League they will go far they are one of the biggest sides in the competition.  They have played and failed before,  they are now trying to kill two birds with a stone. Premier League top four for Champions league and winning the Europa League Competition.

yes, Liverpool is one of the strong candidates for the Europa League. we still haven't seen the teams that will enter the playoff round from those eliminated from the Champions League. we cannot underestimate the teams that will enter the play-off round. but Liverpool with the remaining matches I think will be easy for them to win. and they will qualify for the next round. they have a fairly easy group and their performance this season has made quite an improvement over last season.

Although Liverpool have received 1 defeat before by Toulouse but still, that Liverpool will still be the winner of group E. Because after all, that Liverpool are also still strong by having 9 points at this moment, and in second place is placed by Toulouse with 7 points . So ya, obviously Liverpool will still qualify for the next round and of course, Liverpool are also included as title candidates this season in the Europa League. But even though Liverpool are one of the title candidate teams, but of course it still won't be easy for Liverpool to achieve it . Because anyway, at least with Liverpool defeat by Toulouse also provides evidence, although Liverpool will still qualify but sometimes Liverpool can also slip at any time.

I think Liverpool is not going to worry too much about the next match in the Europa League competition. They are going to actually give more importance to the English Premier League matches right now. Because the English Premier League matches are going to be a lot harder right now compared to the European league matches for Liverpool. Liverpool is going to face order competition later in the tournament. But in the English Premier League, they are constantly facing good opponents. The next match against LASK  should be easy for Liverpool.

Liverpool is going to face LASK and it's an easy game for liverpool. The club still needs to win that came to make sure that if liverpool can stay at the top. The gap to the LASK and union saint are quite big but liverpool may be losing a stop at the knock out stage if the club will get two losses in a row. People are not willing to see that happens. Klopp shall not be doing another stupid thing like using the secondary squad to play in europa league.

The quality of secondary squad far worse. Liverpool needs to use the main squad to make sure the club can qualify to the next stage. Klopp shall stop to take it easy its opponent. I don't wanna see liverpool to get another lose against LASK. The club shall stop to do stupid things like the match against toulouse.

Klopp likes to change up his team, but now is not the time to take risks. When he put out the backup team in the Europa League before, things didnt go as planned, and we cant let that happen again. We are in charge of the group, but we shouldnt take LASK lightly. Since they beat Union Saint-Gilliose, you shouldnt think too little of them. To keep that top spot, we need to keep our spirits high. Klopp should really play his best team here to keep our progress going and avoid any upsets. Its disappointing for fans, especially when it comes to a team like LASK.

[TelolettOm]

Competition for ranks 1-5 in the Premier League is very tight. All teams are only 1-2 points apart in each ranking. This proves that Liverpool is not fighting hard to be in 3rd place. All the top teams in the English league are trying to maintain their respective rankings. So I can say that Liverpool is still the same as the previous few seasons, only they are playing quite badly and inconsistently this season.

Indeed. EPL competition is always exciting every season because there are many strong teams in EPL. Even small teams can't be underestimated, they can beat the big team at any time. Moreover the race of the title, those teams in the top 4-5 of EPL standings often have small point gaps. Yes, it is actually happening in EPL standings this season, the point differences are only about 1-2 points. It proves that the strength of the EPL teams is almost equal, especially for the top teams. So, it makes sense if Liverpool won't be easy to maintain their position.

Liverpool's mentality is focused on winning the Europa this season because it looks like an opportunity for them to win the league this season, Liverpool is very much aware of the competition in the premier league of which they are still doing well there regardless so I don't think they will really be having issues at the Europa except when they will be joined by teams from the UCL

How do you know Liverpool more focused on Europa League?
I think Liverpool are focused on both EPL and Europa League. They won't focus on Europa League only because there is no guarantee to be the champion in Europa League. Although Liverpool is the favorite team to win the title, there are other teams that possibly win the title as well. Leverkusen is one of the teams that I think very possible to win the title, too.

Liverpool was the strongest club in the competition. As roma and leverkusen have become the favorites to win, the europa league after liverpool. Roma is now starting to reach its peak performance again. Leverkusen is also doing the same like roma.
Liverpool must be able to keep its consistentcy caused by it will have some powerful rivals to compete for the europa league title. We have not yet seen what club that is going down from UCL too.
The competition will be far stricter during the knock out stage. The chance of liverpool to win the league is pretty big compared with another candidate. Im not willing to talk about liverpool vs LASK caused by the winner can be known easily.

I hope roma will be repeating the result of last season but mourinho's club will able to win europa league.

I have never seen Klopp have hard time with rotation to be fair, he has been quite elite about it as long as it gets and he has been here for a very long time and he has done fine. I mean we are talking about a guy who has lead this team to 50+ games a season every season, considering European competition as well, maybe even as much as 60 games? So if he managed that for this long, I am sure that he can do it again, not like they have European competition for the first time, they had UCL situation plenty of times before as well and they managed to make it work then, so why wouldn't they make it work now.

I know that FA cup is not that much of a huge deal for them, not this year anyway, and they want to be in the top three of EPL this season which they could potentially do, and they want to win europa as well. If he could rest players meanwhile, then he could make it work one way or another, and should be fine, I think that's the most important thing for them.

Liverpool's mentality in europe competition is undeniable, They are famous of it. They will be able to win europa league this season if they put this competition as their priority. I'm still unconvinced Liverpool put this competition as their priority because, so far, they never played with their strongest team, even though they are still so good, but it will be different in KO stage.

I dont know if Klopp will continue to play with 'second team' or will start their strongest team when they face a good team. If they continue like this, there will be chance for them slip out of ko stage. They have a great squad depth, but keeping on rotating starting players is very good idea, as they will face good teams in ko stage.

[Volgastallion]

I repeat again , dont overanalyze the games from group stages, in this kind of tournaments, the big or stronger teams, play them at 80% of his real power, so what we are seeing its not the real play.

In the round of 16 or in the H2H we start to see the real games, and we can start to analyze something, and take real information.

[Antotena]

Liverpool are a top European club and know what it requires to bring home an European trophy. Them falling short to Toulouse wouldn’t be a hindrance for them qualifying, and in general Liverpool has a team that could challenge for the title but we can’t shy away from the fact that we’ve got teams that are as good as Liverpool and really on good form and could pose some threats, a team such as Bayern Leverkusen.

Liverpool are not only doing good job here, they are doing the same thing in the Premier League. Since they could draw to Manchester City in there last game, I don't think teams here will be a threat even after the group stage unless Liverpool lose their form, you know it does happen. When you think your team are having the best of their time and then something will just come up like injury and then the team structure need an urgent fix which can last upto a month. However, I think Liver are going to have the best of there time because LASK lost to them in there home match, no way Liverpool will allow them to win.

Liverpool will have lots of work to do if they want to be crowned European champions and that’s really going to be a big ine because they’ll really have to over work some players and still keep them fit for the game, I don’t think any team coming from the UCL will pose a threat to Bayern Leverkusen or Liverpool going forward.

If not that teams here didn't have the chance to qualify to the Champions League, i believe the teams here are even playing better than the teams we have in the Champions League group stage. They are just poor because here is an automatic qualifications against next year Champions league, so they take here serious more than the group stage in the Champions League 

[Slow death]

Even though I'm a Liverpool fan and I'm very happy with the performance they're having this season, I think they have a big opponent in the race to win the European League at the moment, I'm talking about Leverkusen, look at Leverkusen's performance:



they won in every game even though they had a very complicated schedule and are at the top of the bundesliga table, see that in the bundesliga they are competing with bayern who are doing very well in the european champions league, liverpool is also doing very well well in the premier league where they are fighting to win the premier league. I see these two teams Liverpool and Leverkusen as strong candidates to win the European league. About the teams that will drop down from the European Champions League, in my opinion the teams that could be a problem if they fall into the European League are: PSG, Newscastle, Manchester United, Milan

These 4 teams I mentioned would be a headache in the Europa League, PSG would beat many teams in the Europa League, and I believe they could reach the final. I can say the same thing about Newcastle, which has been playing very well and looking at the teams in the European League, few would be able to beat Newcastle, which in my opinion I see them getting very far. As for Manchester United, they are improving after having a very bad start to the season, I see them also managing to go far, Milan is the same thing. we will see which teams from the champions league will go to the european league

I'm also rooting for Roma to go far, but although they have a good squad, they have had problems with player injuries, which is why Mourinho has resorted to rotating players because they need to stay in Serie A too to guarantee a place in the Champions League. , so Roma's situation is not good, they need to win in the next game to guarantee passage to another stage but they also need to save playing because they need to win in the next game in series A

[Jatiluhung]

In the round of 16 or in the H2H we start to see the real games, and we can start to analyze something, and take real information.

The basics for analysis material must be collected from a lot of existing statistical data from all competitions played by the club whose performance we want to analyze. Considering the priority aspect and whether a match is not is also important. For example, if a team is certain to qualify from the group stage, usually they will start not playing with their maximum strength in the remaining matches in the group stage. Usually they will choose to give playing time to second-tier players who previously did not have many opportunities to play. And this step is also to give the core players more rest time. But conditions like this sometimes make it difficult for us to make predictions. I prefer to make predictions when a competition has just started. Where each team will use all its strength. But in the remaining matches in the group stage everything became more difficult. Except for groups where there is still no definite candidate who will qualify. We also have to consider the fitness factor of players and the list of injured players in a squad. next is the home and away factor. And also see how a club performs in their local league. Well, that's all I usually do in football analysis to make predictions about match results. But still the result of a football match is always 50:50. But here's the fun.

[rendravolt]

I repeat again , dont overanalyze the games from group stages, in this kind of tournaments, the big or stronger teams, play them at 80% of his real power, so what we are seeing its not the real play.

In the round of 16 or in the H2H we start to see the real games, and we can start to analyze something, and take real information.

I understand that currently strong teams only use a few percent of their strength but I think the group stage still plays an important role in the results of the next round and whether it's the top 16, quarter finals, semifinals or final, everything is interrelated. Maybe there will be something surprising in the round of 16, I think it will be quite surprising and maybe there will also be easy steps because from the start the team was at a different level. Let's take the example of teams like Liverpool and Leverkusen, who are the strongest teams at the moment and both are very appropriate to get the ideal European league final later. However, other teams such as Roma, who were also in the European League final last season, also need to be paid attention to. Apart from that, I don't think there are any other threats that could change the results unless the team is unlucky.

Europa League with its new format, is more unpredictable with some big clubs deranked from Champions League. Some big clubs failed in Champions League can suddenly appear in Europa League and change a general competition a lot. What will happen if PSG participate in Europa League? They will be very big competitor against Liverpool for the trophy.

Liverpool's mentality in europe competition is undeniable, They are famous of it. They will be able to win europa league this season if they put this competition as their priority. I'm still unconvinced Liverpool put this competition as their priority because, so far, they never played with their strongest team, even though they are still so good, but it will be different in KO stage.

They have a great squad depth, but keeping on rotating starting players is very good idea, as they will face good teams in ko stage.

Liverpool are a strong team and if they are seriously playing in Europa League, they will be best candidate to win it. The unpredictability is they have a bigger competition to aim at, Premier League. When the season goes more, more things might occur like player injuries and if Liverpool have injuries of star players, they will pay less focus for Europa League. We don't know what will happen in future so it's hard to say about their concentration on Europa League in next months. Klopp is a coach who is ready to give chances to young players and he will definitely do it for young players in Liverpool.
