UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[TelolettOm]

Since Atlanta is under so much pressure from Liverpool, I honestly didn't think they could defeat them, therefore this is an unexpected outcome from Liverpool. Because even when we only consider possession, Liverpool was ahead of them; nonetheless, the fact that Atlanta led in goals and Liverpool only led in possession was a very disappointing outcome for Liverpool. The thing that surprises people the most about Liverpool is that, despite being one of the hardest teams this season, but they made a huge mistake against Atlanta in the Europa League. They greatly disappointed the fans with their poorly performance.

If you look at the match statistics, Liverpool is indeed much more dominant in various ways, especially in possession of the ball which is more than 70%. This indicates that Liverpool are actually very ready for this match. However, Atalanta played much more effectively. Just think, from less than 30% of ball control, but the attacks are quite a lot. And almost approaching Liverpool's attack. What's more, Atalanta even had 7 shots on target, while Liverpool only had 5. This is what makes Atalata increasingly watched by Liverpool. But it seemed like it was too late because Atalanta were able to win against Liverpool who were playing at home with 3 goals. This is truly extraordinary for Atalanta.

Leverkusen win their match as expected against West Ham United. This is another good news for Alonso because he has already secured the Bundesliga title, and he is a favorite in the Europa League this season, and if they were able to get to the finals, they can win it.

It’s not easy playing Leverkusen at home, i had no doubt in them because they have the best record in Europe currently and with the Bundesliga almost secured they don’t have much worries and they have all the time to focus on the UEFA Europa League. They have managed to win the first leg but it’s not a guarantee that they have progressed to the next round, West Ham might have something in store for them at their home. Playing West Ham in England will not be easy but they have all the advantage already.

I dont know what to expect for the second game of this two, but i cant see Liverpool coming back from this, but well Liverpool knows how to do it, just remember the Barcelona game for UCL in Anfield.

It will definitely be difficult to come back from this especially when they will be visiting Atlanta at home. The game is not yet over but i believe Atlanta will make it even more difficult for them in Italy. They have only comeback against Barcelona so it not whaat they are used to and also we. Cannot compare the squad against Barcelona with this one.

The tonight's Liverpool home defeat by Atlanta has left Liverpool with a gigantic task in their next week's second leg game.
This I think is Liverpool's first home defeat since February 2023 if I'm not wrong, and obviously, it was such a humiliating home defeat to the extent that they couldn't even get a single goal at Anfield Station. The lost was as a result of the coach underating the capability of their visitors Atlanta in this game, and Liverpool got a shocken defeat .

I really didn't expect Atalanta to succeed in tarnishing Liverpool record at Anfield, besides that we have to correct previous words, where we pretty much said that the Reds were the favorite team to win. Atalanta really surprised me, the 3-0 score was really extraordinary. This is the European League, a place where absurd surprises occur.

I'm sure many bettors experienced defeat in that match, because before the match started everyone believed Liverpool could win the match easily. On the other hand, it could be that Klopp is prioritizing the Premier League to win, but there is still one more leg in the future to create a surprise.

Atalanta managed to play effectively, even though the Serie A representatives did not dominate possession of the ball, they managed to carry out a typical Italian strategy of dominantly defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool have experienced the biggest disaster this season, it was quite difficult to turn things around in the second leg because they were 3 goals behind.

I wanna laugh by seeing liverpool's score as it was showing ho garbage the performance from liverpool even at the anfield. It was very pathetic performance for sure. As i predicted if atalanta was playing dominant defensive instead of attacking. It's caused by it was putting around 7 players to stay at in front of the goal keeper.
Liverpool played like shit in this game and yeah the chance to win the competition is almost zero for liverpool. Having three goals aggregate by playing at home is so amaazing result for liverpool. The fans are getting upset caused by this horrible performance.

Where the heck is salah? he doesn't seem to appear in this game and i rated him so low. Atalanta was doing very good job. I do like atalanta caused by it can play a well defensive strategy like that. Even liverpool can do nothing at home against atalanta.
The result shocked everyone for sure and im strongly believe it's going to be even better than before. Good job atalanta. liverpool was overconfident in this game. It will be trophyless this season as king city will get treble winners again.

There will be no chance to get EPL as well for liverpool. Another shitty performance from liverpool helped the club a lot to bottled europa league trophy.  Good job atalanta.

[Docnaster]

wide but not unexpected result this evening between Atalanta and Liverpool at least for me.

for Liverpool it made no sense to face the match in 100% psychophysical condition when they are already practically certain of having a place in the next champion league and when they still have the possibility of winning the premier league.

I expected Atalanta to win even if with a smaller margin of goals.

I'm still in shock, who would have believed Atalanta will deal with Liverpool this way, even for Liverpool at their worst performance I still don't expect them to end the game with this kind of performance, it's unlike them, Liverpool really let me down on this one. Despite all, we know football as something at some level becomes unpredictable, the game is over, the winner still remains only left for Liverpool to improve so they do not fall off again. Atlanta has a good stats, 6 games played, 4 games won and 2 draws with no loss, quite an impressive performance, Liverpool should have been the ones to break the no loss streak but messed the whole opportunity.

Who would've predicted that Atalanta will come to Anfield and leave with a 3:0 win in a UEFA Europa League quarter final game this season. The result of the game without doubt is a huge surprise to fans of both clubs and to football fans across the globe in general. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be blaming himself right now for his selection of the starting XI which o think was done to keep some of the club's best players fit enough for their English Premier League game of the weekend. Liverpool defense tonight were completely toothless and awful to watch as most of their defensive decisions and moves tonight were that of an amateur defense line who are probably playing in the National League division. To turn the deficit when Liverpool travel to Italy for the second leg without doubt will be a very difficult task for them but I think the team is still capable of coming back into the tie.

I am very curious now as I was the one who said the games have to be played first and then we can see whether all the cliches will remain true.

I ask everyone now to reach out and tell me how I have been wrong! Read my posts! I talked about Roma and how they eliminated team after team last season against all expectations. I talked about Arsenal getting eliminated. I talked about Manchester United getting eliminated.

Now where are the big guys here talking about Liverpool?

In the coming days I will go through the posts and see who posted some (AI) nonsense stating that Liverpool and Leverkusen MUST be the finalists. Well, maybe they are, Liverpool can still equalize. But this is not what was expected.

It will be difficult for Liverpool to come back and win these games after already losing by these plenty goals in the first leg. Atalanta still have to finish these tasks up by making sure they push Liverpool out. Liverpool was not expected to struggle in this competition, it was expected that they get to the finals alongside Leverkusen, but It does not look like it will just happen as predicted.

It’s not easy playing Leverkusen at home, i had no doubt in them because they have the best record in Europe currently and with the Bundesliga almost secured they don’t have much worries and they have all the time to focus on the UEFA Europa League.

Leverkusen have a remarkable record this season, they have shown determination to keep it that way. The team will be able to make it to the finals.

[Popkon6]

Liverpool tried hard on the pitch but were very weak in attack. The more attacks you notice, the defenders of the Atalanta team are very experienced and the Liverpool team is not able to score because of the good defense. The more attacks the Liverpool team suffered because their defenders were not good enough to defend the attack. Liverpool had 70% possession of the ball for most of the match, and had 19 shots on goal in total. Liverpool were a strong team in any aspect but missed goals a lot, which is why they lost this match.

Liverpool remain the favorite for most people to collect the Europa in the pool here but it just a surprise that they were beaten with 3 goals down by Atalanta in today's match. If Liverpool is to qualify further Liverpool needs to beat Atalanta 3 or more goal at Atalanta's home and this really look impossible. I'm sure Atalanta will come to this match with more of defence. Liverpool's match today has really predicted their hope in the Europa league.

[Chikito]

I know that seems impossible to Atalanta win when meet Liverpool at Anfield, but in football, the miracle and surprise that will happen even Liverpool controls 70% of the ball possession. I tried it last night and managed to get that miracle (9.20 odds) win 

[BlackBoss_]

It will be difficult for Liverpool to come back and win these games after already losing by these plenty goals in the first leg. Atalanta still have to finish these tasks up by making sure they push Liverpool out. Liverpool was not expected to struggle in this competition, it was expected that they get to the finals alongside Leverkusen, but It does not look like it will just happen as predicted.

A defeat is not too terrible but a big defeat like is damn terrible. If Liverpool did not get a third conceded goal, their chance looks to be better but with three goals like this, Atalanta currently hold very big advantage for a second match.

They will start a second match with defensive style and wait for chances to do counter attack. The gate for Liverpool will close if they let Atalanta score one goal in a second leg match. Only Klopp can know why he did not use strongest attacking players for this match. Salah was used only in a second half after Atalanta led one goal after the first half but unfortunately the appearance of Salah could not help Liverpool.

If it is not a plan from Klopp and Liverpool to sacrifice Europa League for Premier League. It seems now is a good time for Liverpool to fully focus on Premier League.

[klidex]

There were lots of surprises that happened in the Europa League today in Liverpool's match against Atalanta and also Milan against Roma, I didn't expect the 2 host clubs to experience quite painful defeats and what surprised me even more was that Liverpool lost badly to Atalanta with a score of 3:0 even though Many people made Liverpool the favorite to win the match with a big score but it turned out they had to suffer an unexpected defeat at home. The same thing also happened to Milan who were beaten by Roma with a score of 1:0. I think Liverpool and Milan are over in this round. because they will play the second leg at their opponent's home ground and victory will be difficult for them to achieve and their chances of qualifying for the semifinals are a little small.

Everyone's hopes of watching Liverpool play the final with Leverkusen have vanished because it seems Liverpool cannot reach the final, even though Liverpool can still counterattack in the second leg but at least Liverpool can score 4 goals at home to their opponent and Atalanta cannot increase their total aggregate so Liverpool is still can advance to the semifinals but if they can't Liverpool will be eliminated. It's true that the European League is full of surprises. Clubs that are initially favorites don't necessarily survive until the end.

I have the same feeling and can't accept that Liverpool will lose against Atalanta by such a big margin. I never expected Liverpool to play so badly and lose the match, maybe Liverpool's luck was so bad in this match that they didn't perform well. The Atlanta team was exciting from start to finish which made the match much more interesting but Liverpool team could not concede a goal to the opposition despite hundreds of attempts. Losing by a huge margin in the quarter-finals is not a good sign for Liverpool, of course, they are under a lot of pressure after losing the first leg of the match. Liverpool put in a very impressive performance and they squandered their chances, perhaps the worst players for Liverpool who could not attack very well. Losing by 0-3 goal it hurt Liverpool fans a lot as most people thought Liverpool would win with a bigger goal margin but it turned out to be the opposite. I think Liverpool have wasted their chance and they may not win the next match with such a big score so their chances of winning the title this season are very slim.

There is no doubt that many gamblers lost money on Liverpool's win. But I restrained myself from betting on the match. Because I thought Liverpool are now more busy to win the Premier League title. Their main target is to secure the Premier League title. So I wasn't sure if Liverpool would give their full effort in the Europa League match.

Klopp probably thought they could win against Atalanta with the second row of players. This was Liverpool's biggest mistake. Atalanta team should not be underestimated by Liverpool. However, we saw a very poor performance from Liverpool's defenders. Liverpool would not have been beaten badly if the defenders had done well.

[el kaka22]

It is already quite hard to pick one game and watch that over at UCL when you have two at a time, but here at Europa it's even four at a time. UEFA must realize that they are literally losing money because of this, I am not saying put every game on a different date, but at least spread it around a bit, that way you could have less games per day.

When you put them all into a single day, people have to pick a game and just watch that, plus you could even make hours very different, hence even on a single day, you could have four different games, just have one start at afternoon if you want to. This situation should be fixed asap with the new league format, or we are going to see even more games all on the same day and less viewership because of it.

This was unexpected, even for Klopp. He made some mistakes by not fielding their strongest 11, underestimating Atlanta. The starting lineup didn't seem confident about winning, unfortunately their changes didn't work out, which leading to disaster at home. But is there any excuse of their weak defense and attack? Of-course not. It was errors from Liverpool's side and poor defending. Every time Atlanta attacked, they looked like they would score. It was an off night for Liverpool, and their performance is a concern for the Premier League. Well played, Atlanta.

Liverpool lost this match due to underestimating Atalanta team. Atalanta team was not in good form. Atalanta have won just one of their last 5 matches in Serie A. And lost all three matches. The team's performance was very poor. Perhaps this is why Liverpool coach Klopp did not take the Atalanta team seriously. Such a mistake was not expected from an experienced coach like Klopp.

There is no doubt that Aatalanta's players performed well in this match. They exploited every weakness in Liverpool's players. Atalanta got a 1-0 lead in the first half. Scamacca performed well in this match. He scored two goals.

I didn't watch the match because of time zone, and thought about watching it but was quite surprised when I saw the score where Liverpool were trailing 0-1 and was even more surprised when Atalanta managed to score the second goal and things got worse because Liverpool conceded for the third time.
Liverpool only controlled the ball but they forgot to defend their defense well and Atalanta, who only had a small share of ball possession, could be more effective because they faced Liverpool's fragile defense.
I doubt Liverpool will be able to catch up from 0-3 in the second leg or even win with a 4 goal margin because for Atalanta they will be even more motivated to make a place in the semifinals.
The situation faced by Liverpool is almost the same as two seasons ago where they had opportunities in several competitions but slowly lost them all, after being eliminated in the FA Cup, and there was a big chance that in the European league, they would also be eliminated, leaving the English Premier League to become champions.

[Bobrox]

Unbelievable with Liverpool as favorite team for winning Europe League this season have loss on first leg match over 0-3 at Anfield Stadium, its not good capital for facing second leg match and Liverpool must winning above four goals if won't eliminated in quarter final round. I think Jurgen Klopp over confidence by saving some main players from Mohamad Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andy Robertson and Luiz Diaz. Make several change on second half but not effective yet and Liverpool must improving hard their performance on second leg match if want qualify to next round.

Other quarter final leg match, AS Roma get the positive result after defeating AC Milan and get more advantage with second legs match will play on their home, need get draw or secure the winning result will make fantastic with Daniele De Rossi success bring Roma qualify to semifinal round and has chance to repeat AS Roma achievement under Jose Mourinho era qualified to final round.

This is another reminder to you that football isn't mathematics. I predicted Liverpool to win that match, I staked on it too and lost. From the start of the match the coach made a terrible mistake by resting the types of M. Salah, L.Diaz and other key converting players, only to bring them in when a lot of damages have been done and the Atlanta players confidence is high above the heavens.

Liverpool lost well meaning chances that would've demoralized Atlanta and get them struggling to get their balance in the match earlier in the game, they were shooting without target, mostly going over the post. Not only that I lost my stakes, I'm really disappointed with the whole team for that kind of performance. The most annoying goal was the second one, they left Scamarca un marked in their own box 18, like what the heck?.

This is the end of the road for them because Atlanta  would be least merciful in their return leg.
