UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[BlackBoss_]

Roma is losing to Elfsborg with a narrow score (0-1). F for Roma. They got thrashed by a low-tier team, Elfsborg. They have a lot of ball possession but are unable to score. Unbelievable.

They recorded 23 shots in total; 2 of them could have won them the game, but due to their wasteful attackers. They wasted it all. They also very often did back pass; they're backpass FC now.

It's very shameful to see that they lost to a team that has a signature as their badge. They were pathetic this whole season; they have been horrible to watch, too. Juric OUT!!!!!

Match stats shows that Roma fully controlled and dominated the match, with 75% ball possession, 23 shots but the shame is they only made 2 big chances in this match and eventually they failed to score even a single goal.

In football, domination is not important, final result is important and Elfsborg has it today with a single goal to get three points. This defeat in Sweden shows that Roma are not actually improved too much with their new appointed coach, Juric. They will fluctuate between wins and losses with very low margin of difference, before Juric can improve their team significantly or he will be fired and out of Roma.

“Don't judge us now in this moment, judge us at the end of the season” was the contained in the statement of Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in his post match press conference tonight after his side failed to win at Porto despite going scoring the first two goals of the game. The Dutch manager still believes that he deserves more time to prove himself despite managing the team in the last two years. I think at the moment, ten Hag is clueless if what to do in other to improve the team which is why he deserves to be shown the exit door for the club to grow.
 

In performance, Porto looked better than Manchester United but Manchester United was lucky to have scored the first two goals in the game still they did not win. Honestly, Bruno Fernadez and Rashford played terribly, and I don't get to blame 10hag on this loss. When they need to get to the ball they don't run and when the ball is with them they pass the ball excessively.

Mehn the truth is 10hag is so closed to being sacked since he cant the necessarily change to help himself out and achieve a single win. for a long time now.

Mhen!! This season is going to be a long season for Manchester United. To start with the players are really loosing self confidence and this is a big problem for a team that wants to play good football and win trophies. Let talk about Bruno Fernandez who has gradually been losing form since the start of this season. As a captain there are lots of responsibilities to carry. But then it’s beginning to look like the responsibilities are much for him to carry, I think it’s time to let him start from the bench maybe two or three match. To see if he wouldn’t find his form. He also feels no matter how bad he plays nobody is starting ahead of him. Which is a wrong mentality for a player to have. Look at man city. If you feel to important and then end up playing out of position. Be rest assure that you’re starting from the bench. Greenlish feel victim of that his first and second season at city and foden started ahead of him. Injury wasn’t the main reason. But person form and what you contribute to the time. While everyone felt things were going well with foden. Doku was signed and now foden starts from the bench most at times. Now this how to run a proper football team. No matter being the key player, the coach at times needs to discipline a player when they feel too important. Ten hag did it to Christian Ronaldo which everyone was against. But then he was right if we are being honest. Now he doesn’t want to do same to players like Rashford, Bruno. The reason being that the fans will be mad at him like they did during Ronaldo’s time. Mind you he is risking his job.
United needs to change their tactics or better still change their tactical coach if possible. The team doesn’t have style of play. So much needs to be done internally to see the team go through this struggle.

The media is currently very fond of discussing the two upcoming games for Manchester United, which could be decisive for ten Hag. This may be the case if he loses both of these games, and given the way Aston Villa are playing now, that game could end badly for them, so they should pay a lot of attention to this match with Porto. And here too, everything is bad for ten Hag, because Porto is a home team and very rarely loses at home, so a draw was not the worst result at the Estadio do Dragao.

Yes, Draw is not a bad result, but the way MU achieved the draw was very bad. MU impressive appearance only lasted 20 minutes since the match started, the 0-2 advantage could not be maintained, Porto managed to comeback by changing the score to 3-2 early in the second half. Ten Hag's men were further slumped after Bruno Fernandes received a red card in the 81st minute, and they had to play with 10 men. Maguire saved his team from defeat after scoring an equalizer in the 90+1 minute. One challenge has been passed, Ten Hag then had to prepare his team to face Aston Villa. Although they were able to take home a point at Porto's headquarters, the result was still less than satisfactory because they were unable to maintain their lead.

I quite surprised with this week, along with the matches in the big UCL and Europa League competitions showing many quite disappointing match results with several top team and their favorite team unable to get win.
For the Europa League today I took two matches as bet by taking Galatasaray to win over Rigas SF and also win for Tottenham in their match against Ferencvaros.
In these two matches showed Tottenham very good game and they managed to win as I expected, but Galatasaray was really not as expected because draw should not have happened when seeing how Galatasaray game could dominate completely.
Some other matches with bad results were Roma defeat from Elfsborg and Fenerbahce defeat from Twente then PAOK defeat from FCSB and all of these were very bad results from the Europa League second match.

Here are the results of the second match of the Europa League yesterday:

Source: Twitter UEL

The Champions League and Europa League seem to present unexpected surprises in the second match that has been played so far, clubs such as Ajax, Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, Man United, Fenerbahce and Roma not going as expected.
It seems that many people missed their bets including myself who tried to bet on single bets and only 3 matches I chose but only 1 won, namely the Tottenham match against Ferencvaros but that could not cover my losses who lost 2 bet on the Roma and Galatasaray matches.

[Luzin]

On that note, Ten Hag does not think that he has lost this time around at this strategy of taking Manchester United to its former glory of winning trophies due to the availability of a second chance given to him to keep heading Manchester United as a coach.

By winning only one FA trophy he began to be arrogant. But there has been no progress to this day. I was tired of the excuses he gave. He did not see that he had been arrogant and wordy and could not prove it. I also feel annoyed with Man United's management, why they give a chance to a coach who has failed to develop in 2.5 years. Another problem is the management that has provided full facilities to continue to improve but has not succeeded until now. Let's see if there will be any changes in the next process?

Manchester United management helped Ten Hag become arrogant. We have seen very poor performances from Manchester United in recent seasons. The team's performance throughout the season was erratic. However, Manchester United gave the Ten Hag a chance. The Ten Hag's biggest achievement last season was Manchester United's victory over the mighty Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season. However, Ten Hag should be sacked by Manchester United. Without a new experienced coach, we will not see an improvement in Manchester United's performance.

We already have proof that Manchester United cannot improve with Ten Hag. He is a unique person. And I am very upset with Manchester United's match tactics. This team has no specific match strategy. Very erratic performance of Manchester United players.

In the last match of the Premier League, we saw that Manchester United's players played very badly in the home match against Tottenham. In the match, Manchester United conceded 3 goals and failed to score even after playing defensively. On the other hand, Manchester United went ahead by 2 goals very quickly against Porto. But then they trailed 3-2.

Maybe Ten Hag wants to be judge by the time he finally send Manchester United to relegation because that is where they are headed at the moment. I think the management have given him enough time to make things right, maybe it is this confidence that make him want more time believing they will oblige. What I expect now is to bring in new players even if they still want to keep Ten Hag, this is because the present combination of players is not just working. Injuries have also become a major problem for them and that is beyond the control of anyone.

I think the board should sack him if he fails to bring United to the knockout round of the Europa League. Asking for new players every time your team loses is a bit naive IMO. I believe his net spend is around -600 million euros or so. That implies the board, transfer team, or Ten Hag himself has no clue who should they buy and what style of football they're playing and just pick players randomly. CMIIW.

If he can't even bring United to the knockout stage, there's little hope to win any trophy other than FA Cup or something similar which should not be the goal for a club as big as Manchester United.

I totally agree with you. Ten Hag was given ample time and opportunities by the Manchester United management. Also provided large funds for player purchases. But Manchester United does not have any major achievements. Antony was bought by Manchester United for a huge price. And it was Manchester United's Los Project altogether. I have never seen Antony play well in a United jersey so far. We are not getting consistent performance from Manchester United despite giving big funds and enough time. Indeed, this is the coach's weakness. Barcelona and PSG's squads are less experienced than Manchester United's. However, the performance of these two teams is quite strong compared to Manchester United.

[Helena Yu]

Manchester United vs Porto was the most exciting match, it started from Manchester United leading two goals, Porto make a comeback for scoring 3 goals and in the injury time, Manchester United managed to equalize the score.

Bruno once again try a risky move and he received red card in this match, will Manchester United appeal the red card again just like they did in the previous match against Tottenham?

Bruno should be benched, unfortunately there are no players that play as good as him right now.

Manchester United drama

Erik Ten Hang and his boys have started their drama again tonight against Porto. How can Manchester United manage to score 2 goals against Porto before 20 mins of the first half and still allowed Porto to equalize the 2 goals still in the first half. The whole thing is not connecting or sounding well for a big team.
There's every possibility that Manchester United could go home to night with zero point from this match. Something is truly wrong with Manchester United.

Manchester United is indeed a big disappointment to us this season, because despite the fact they were able to have scored 2 goals in less than first 20 minutes, allowing Porto team to have scord an equalizing goal in less than next 8 minutes still in the first half, was the worst thing Eric Ten Hag and his boys did in last nights game, because it shows an act of unseriousness between the couch and it's players, as they keep losing or playing draw for the past 4 matches, ever since they gave Barnsley 7 goals to Nill, hence, i think it's high time Manchester United sack Eric Ten Hag and give us a new performing couch this season,

[AprilioMP]

Even Roman Fabrizio in his latest tweet wrote about how many wins, losses and draws Manchester United received in the Europa League with Erik ten Hag.
The situation is not at all easy for Manchester United fans and for Erik ten Hag himself. Some still support Erik and want him to be maintained and stay at Old Trafford with the saying that Rome was not built in one day. For some fans, their favorite team has been slumping for more than a decade without winning a title.

If Erik's replacement as coach can make Manchester United rise, it will not be as soon as possible. That's why this is not an easy situation for everyone.

You must be talking about this tweet:

The bells are really ringing for Erik ten Hag recently. He has a terrible history in European tournaments. I can't say he is doing pretty good in the Premier League either. He still looks confident to keep his job for the rest of the season but I don't think it is going to be that easy. Unless there is improvement in the upcoming matches, I believe there is a chance to see his sacking in early times of the season.

Yes, right. That's what I mean. He was not evaluating this season, even though some Manchester United fans voiced that he stayed at Old Trafford for the reason that Rome was not built in one day.
His dismissal is also not certain to make Manchester United will rise and become a team that will compete strongly in the struggle for titles both in domestic and in European competition.
But I don't know much about this team even though their squad this season with the material of the players in my eyes is good. The back line is ok. Midfielder is also ok.
At X.com, after the match vs Porto, Ten Hag Trending. Most people say that Maguire's goal saved Erik Ten Hag's job as a coach.

Something is wrong with the defence of Galatasaray. A team that was leading by two goals just gave up the lead and had to go home with one point. This was the same thing that happened in their last game in the Turkish league, where they settled for a draw after leading by three goals. If they continue this way, they might end up losing the top spot in the league and not qualify for the next round of the Europa.

Roma has not gotten its rhythm even after sacking their coach. The attack seems to be blunt and cannot finish balls. I don't know the basis for sacking De Rossi, but I prefer his pattern of play because what we saw yesterday was not encouraging. Week two results in Europe is really interesting because it will be difficult to predict these results.

[MK-74]

It was a very bad result for Galatasaray. There is no explanation for a draw with such a team.
Galatasaray starts well but then gives up the match. This has been the case for the last two weeks. 3-0 to 3-3 and 2-0 to 2-2.

I think Fenerbahçe is not playing well, most fans are not happy with this.

Beşiktaş had another bad result. They will probably not think about the Europa League anymore, they will focus on the Süper League.

[Republikcoin.com]

Yes, Draw is not a bad result, but the way MU achieved the draw was very bad. MU impressive appearance only lasted 20 minutes since the match started, the 0-2 advantage could not be maintained, Porto managed to comeback by changing the score to 3-2 early in the second half. Ten Hag's men were further slumped after Bruno Fernandes received a red card in the 81st minute, and they had to play with 10 men. Maguire saved his team from defeat after scoring an equalizer in the 90+1 minute. One challenge has been passed, Ten Hag then had to prepare his team to face Aston Villa. Although they were able to take home a point at Porto's headquarters, the result was still less than satisfactory because they were unable to maintain their lead.

I also wonder why Manchester United could not maintain their advantage in the match even though the Manchester United squad was quite good in the match before Porto made such an extraordinary comeback. As for the next match in the Premier League by being a guest at Aston Villa's home, I think the match will also be quite difficult for Manchester United to win if their way of playing remains the same and there are no significant changes. Ten Hag is a completely strategy-less coach so Aston Villa will have little to worry about when they host Manchester United in the near future.

[davis196]

The only surprising thing about Manchester United's performance against Porto was Marcus Rashford. He scored a goal and assisted for Rasmus Hojlund's goal. Rashford's goal was quite impressive. He is a talented player and I hope that he finds motivation to lead United to more victories in the future. United as usual was horrible in defense and chaotic in the middle. The new owner of United has incredible patience when it comes to Ten Hag. The players of Porto should feel regrets about the wasted victory, but their defensive play was also very bad.

Bruno should be benched, unfortunately there are no players that play as good as him right now.

It's exciting because you didn't watch other games  But damnit! It was hell exciting, despite wanting Manchester United to win, Porto played well and props to that energetic Samu Omorodion, he made good use of his energy and strength. We saw the defenders not thriving because there was no energy in midfied, and today I can agree they managed to score that equalizer. That red card was worth it last night, how can he be that reckless, the approach was wrong, he should know better. Bruno being poor lately, he should be dropped if possible. 
Will you also blame Erik Ten Hag for this? Man should have just passed the Fvcknn ball to make it 3-2!

Like I don't just still understand how Manchester united blow a 2-0 lead in the first, you can't score 2 early goals and still blow it off in that same half. I have said I before and I'm still going to say it again, Manchester united lack a style of play, they lack passion and motivation when they play. If Eric ten Hag had a style of play he would tell his team to defend the 2-0 lead and counter attack Porto when they win the ball. I watched the game yesterday and I was totally disappointed in Manchester united, how can an English team play like this, that too bad.

Bruno fenendez was red carded again and I maybe it time to start questioning him about that, you can't be receiving unnecessary yellow card in every game which sometimes will result to red card, he is not helping the team, he need to be talked to. Manchester have now draw 2 of their europa league matches and that not putting in a good place on the table. We need to see a change in that team soon or I'm sorry Ten Hag will have to go.
