UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Issa56]

At the end of the first half, Manchester United was leading 1-0. The players of Twente played a very defensive strategy. On the other hand, the players of Manchester United also played very carefully in the first half. So I thought Manchester United would probably win the match 1-0. But Manchester United failed to win the home match till the end. The match was drawn 1-1.

Most people expected a win from Manchester United in the match. Even after ending the first half with 1-0, I was just thinking Manchester United will come back stronger in the second half of the match, and score more goals.  If I will be honest with you, even after Twente equalized in the second half of the match, I was still having confidence in Manchester United to win the match because I never expected Manchester United to draw a match like that. I was thinking it’s going to be an easy win for Manchester United, but things didn’t just go well for Manchester United.

Ajax 4-0 Besiktas (full time)

I'm quite surprised that Ajax can totally destroy Besiktas. They can play in an effective way, they could make 17 shots (9 shots on target) although they didn't win the ball possession. Meanwhile Besiktas only could make 6 shots (0 shot on target). It means Besiktas having no chance to make a goal in the match. I can't believe that Ajax has a really strong defense. I assume Ajax can be the candidate to reach the final round.

Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag (on going)

FYI, Tottenham played with 10 players since minute 7'. Radu got a red card in a very early of the match. Surprisingly, Tottenham still can lead with 2 goals until now. They even won the ball possession with 10 players only. Tottenham really shows their quality in this match. They don't care whether they play with less of 11 player.

[MK-74]

Beşiktaş had a very bad result tonight, I think they played well in the first half but they played very badly in the second half and lost the match 4-0.
Beşiktaş started the match with a very bad starting 11, I don't understand with what logic they started with such a squad. Why was Immobile a substitute?
A bad result.

[pawel7777]

Lol at Tottenham casually leading 3-0 against Qarabag despite playing with 10 players pretty much from the start. This just shows how big is the gap between the Premier league and wherever the Qarabag is from.

I think Tottenham has big potential to win the whole thing this season.

Ajax Vs Besiktas looked like a potentially interesting and fierce game but turned out to be more of a one-sided show, with Ajax winning easily 4-0. Perhaps Besiktas just don't take the Europa League too seriously and want to focus on the league.

Such a big defeat! I also never saw it coming honestly. Because Beşiktaş were doing pretty good. Especially thanks to the new transfers like Rafa Silva and Immobile, they have been a big threat to their competitors. However it didn't last long. Ajax were actually having one of their most problematic time periods for a while. I can't say they were still back in their best shape. But here we are...  

It is sad to see Beşiktaş not even being able to score 1 goal. I really wonder what happened. The players lost their motivation very quickly and they conceded easy goals. They need to improve their mental otherwise achieving success would be difficult here.

[Frankolala]

I believe that United not winning isn't as big of a deal as people think. While it's true that they are not doing good this season and didn't do great last season, it's just one game and they could still recover from that. They started the season a bit bad, because they lost players that was in their plan, so they had to adjust and that's their problem, even Real Madrid with a billion dollar squad ended up with draws, and last alaves game was obviously way too close.

So, I think if they recover from here on out and do better then I think it will be fine, but if they end up with a bad result then they will not be good at all. It's clear that we are going to see some things changing for them because they can't keep playing like this.

No matter how long Ten Hag is giving the chance to improve United for a better performance, the team will still remain the same because Ten Hag has nothing in his head to offer to the club in order for them to become consistent with winning matches. HOW CAN A COACH WIN MATCHES WITHIUT A GAME Strategy or pattern. Which means the players are sent to the field to try their luck to see f they can win their matches, and this is why you see that the players do get confused and play anyhow whenever they are with the ball because they don't know what to do next.


Manchester players are trying to have Ten Hag as their coach because he is making things more difficult by trying different strategy in different matches without mastering any of them. However, the players are not also creative when they are with the ball and that is why they are finding it difficult to score their opponents when they have a good chance of scoring. I hope and look forward to the sack of Ten Hag if United want to become successful in future.

Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag (on going)

FYI, Tottenham played with 10 players since minute 7'. Radu got a red card in a very early of the match. Surprisingly, Tottenham still can lead with 2 goals until now. They even won the ball possession with 10 players only. Tottenham really shows their quality in this match. They don't care whether they play with less of 11 player.

Qarabag is a club that nearly eliminated Leverkusen in Europa League last season by leading 2 - 0 against Leverkusen before letting Leverkusen to equalize it. Things can change after one season and Qarabag can be weaker now but if Tottenham can beat Qarabag with this big result and with only 10 players, it's very impressive.

Tottenham quality is for Champions League, not for Europa League but last season, they did not play well enough to end in top four of Premier League and have to join Europa League 2024 - 2025 season. This big can be explained by good quality of Tottenham, but as said win big with 10 players since 7th minute is very impressive performance.

No matter how long Ten Hag is giving the chance to improve United for a better performance, the team will still remain the same because Ten Hag has nothing in his head to offer to the club in order for them to become consistent with winning matches

You are not the only person who saw this but Manchester United owner saw something different. It's lucky for Ten Hag but he will not be given permanent opportunity and job in Manchester United. The club owner will make a sack decision and find a new coach if Ten Hag continues with bad performances. To save his job, he must improve Manchester United and show it with better results.

We watched a nice and enjoyable Galatasaray - PAOK match.
Galatasaray played well and won the match 3-1. We missed many opportunities in the first half and second half, their goalkeeper was good.

Alot of opportunities went down the drain, especially the clear chance that sara had to score from outside the box, but they somehow created a different pattern for themselves... I love the understanding and chemistry between the players; especially how they just got to play and blend well with the Nigerian super beast, osimhen..

Osimhen is a quality player in my opinion, he had 1 goal and 1 assist but the goal was not counted. When will this guy score?

IMHO, osimhen is really trying to understand the game pattern in the turkish league... Remember how Nicholas Jackson fumbled a few times before getting it right? This is a little more enhanced though... Again, the goal was counted, but as an "Own goal" against their competition.

regardless of the red card and the fact that smaller teams can defeat against a bigger team in most cases, this was a clear win for Tottenham and they knew they had to win. What player can you attest to in Qarabag? I don't even know a single one of them .

Beşiktaş had a very bad result tonight, I think they played well in the first half but they played very badly in the second half and lost the match 4-0.
Beşiktaş started the match with a very bad starting 11, I don't understand with what logic they started with such a squad. Why was Immobile a substitute?

That's an evidence of improper organization by the team's manager... Sometimes, he may have felt they could be a way his team of selected players would win against Ajax, or maybe, for the lost part, it'll be a tie. Then he may decide to bring in immobile to brush up. Sadly, in football, you may not have your chances showing up twice!

I was thinking it’s going to be an easy win for Manchester United, but things didn’t just go well for Manchester United.

I am not at all surprised by this result, they played very poorly against a team of this calibre. Moreover, Ten Hag put the responsibility for the conceded goal on the shoulders of the team, it seems to be right, but it's as if he has stopped realising that the fans and the management have no patience and that his leadership of the team, which drives it lower and lower may sooner or later end. I think this season MU won't even make it to 1/4 in the Europa League

They was the better side yesterday and I'm not going to lie. Maybe they was more organized than Manchester United both in midfied and also the flankers.
The win was close and obvious if not for the error made by Christen Eriksen as he should have just passed the ball for the defender close to him or play back to Andrea Onana for. Safety sake.
It was a beautiful goal from Twente, well taken and beautifully timed. Fans are already kickin'for the return of Ole Gunner Solskjaer which I honestly consider a very stupid move if Manchester United new owners in charge of football does that.

I it that Ajax has finally bonce back in order to trash Besiktas 4 goals to nil or Besiktas has just become too bad because this was the most shocking score for me. Tottenham did so much well win against Qarabag even while playing 10 against 11 with a 3 goals to nil. Also is good to see Jose Mourinho men getting a win the Europa league today, for me good job for them though I will love to see how far the special one and his team can go in the Europa league this season.

Finding a scapegoat is another skill that Ten Hag has, so it is not surprising that when his relationship with the players is not harmonious. In fact, it is better to avoid betting on Man United matches for a while, before they really show promising consistency. Maybe before we talked a lot about Man United as the favorite team in the Europa League this season, but it seems that The Red Devils are unable to meet expectations. Basically, Ten Hag has a much better squad depth than Twente, and playing in front of their own supporters should be another advantage.

Ten Hag is an hypocrite, he can never see his wrong always shifting blames, I wonder if he do realized that he's the head of the team though I doubt since he is too thick-skinned. Also I wonder who still place bet on this team or at most gives them a straight win, this I can't remember when last I literally did that, I often avoid betting a team like Manchester United who're so much inconsistent when can say volatile like meme coins.

I like more this cometition now with no Chamspion's League team on it.
It has more purpose now but less appeal for sponsors and TV.

Ajax could be the one who wins this competion imho.

...

I watched the whole match between Ajax and Besiktas. Ajax showed from the first minutes of the match that they are the better team. Besiktas played a very sloppy game in the attacking sets and they couldn't connect the lines. By the way, Giovanni Van Bronchorst didn't start the match with Immobile. He started the match with the young talent Mustafa instead of Immobile. He brought Immobile on in the second half, but Immobile couldn't threaten the Ajax defense either. I feel lucky because we will not play a home game against Ajax...

I confess that I am very surprised at how well Ajax is doing in European competitions. It will seem that the coach and the board have defined European competitions as a clear objective, while the local league is not their objective. In any case, this victory was convincing, and there is no doubt that Besiktas fans must be very angry about this defeat, because this season they have a much better squad than last season, and they were supposed to perform well. As for Ajax, if they fail to achieve anything in European competitions and are a disaster in the local league, then the coach will be the target of criticism.

Tottenham is the kind of unstable team that I don't trust. When I saw the odds for them to win the game, I wasn't tempted to bet on Tottenham even though I saw that they had high odds. The only thing that came to my mind before the game started was that the game could end in a draw. But Tottenham surprised me with this easy victory.

[bering]

Drăgușin indeed did a mistakes and it caused the referee give him red card at 7 minutes and i thought this incident will makes Tottenham will be playing under pressure but we can see it that the red card since early match didn't have any effect to Tottenham performance because today they can able to beat Qarabag with the final scores 3-0 and i think this is fantastic because playing with 10 players but Tottenham still able to beating Qarabag with huge scores

Besides Tottenham who can earn 3 points today i have seen Lyon also has successfully to gets their first winning in this competition and before this match begin i was a bit doubt Lyon can able to overcomes Conference league defending champion Olympiacos because their performance at Ligue 1 is not too impressive but apparently they can able to bounce back and can utilize their home match with very well today

Beşiktaşthe  had a very bad result tonight, I think they played well in the first half but they played very badly in the second half and lost the match 4-0.
Beşiktaş started the match with a very bad starting 11, I don't understand with what logic they started with such a squad. Why was Immobile a substitute?
A bad result.

The performance of Beşiktaş generally in this game was poor reason being that they were holding the ball but couldn't make something good out of it, even in the first half they were in the same ball possession with Ajax but they were not able to make an attempt until the end of the first half even when they conceded first goal they couldn't push an attack to equalize in the game.

Going into the second half they were disorganized and the home team used the opportunity to score two goals in less than 10 minutes into the second, the worst performance of Beşiktaş tonight is that they couldn't make any shot on target from the beginning of the game till full-time very poor performance from them including the poor substitutions made by the coach.

Lol at Tottenham casually leading 3-0 against Qarabag despite playing with 10 players pretty much from the start. This just shows how big is the gap between the Premier league and wherever the Qarabag is from.

I think Tottenham has big potential to win the whole thing this season.

Ajax Vs Besiktas looked like a potentially interesting and fierce game but turned out to be more of a one-sided show, with Ajax winning easily 4-0. Perhaps Besiktas just don't take the Europa League too seriously and want to focus on the league.

Tottenham might but I wouldn't bet on it. In my books, they're in the same category as Manchester United because they lack the kind of consistency that makes a great team. When Ange took charge of Tottenham in 2023, it looked like they would challenge for the title. We all know how that ended. I will watch their progress over the course of the tournament.

For Besiktas, For a team that won't win the Turkey Super Lig (as Galatasaray and Fenerbache are simply better), I'm surprised they don't take European games seriously.

Roma is such a shitty team. Up 1-0 and didn't bother to add to their lead. Always want to settle for less when they can be more.

I think even if Tottenham could win with 10 players, they would only score 1 goal or a 1 goal difference in victory. But here, they really dominated the match with 3 goals. Whereas on the other side, Qarabag also launched a barrage of attacks on Tottenham, but they could be controlled and repelled effectively so that there were no goals at all.

That's why Tottenham's players rating is so good in this match, they deserve this.

There are indeed several versions of the rating, but the point is, the full Tottenham players got a good rating, except for Dragusin who received a red card.

[Popkon6]

The Roma team attacked a lot early on and succeeded in scoring.  Roma's Artem Dovbyk scored in the 32nd minute. It was a brilliant and hard-hitting goal. But later attack time did not see any more goals, but opposite team they were very aggressive. And Athletic Club tried hard throughout the match but finally got the breakthrough. The defenders of both teams were the most diligent as they only prevented attacks, Athletic Club made a total of 12 attacks in the whole match with 1 success, and the Roma team made only 5 attacks and one attack success. 

However, both teams have managed to add one point each to the points table and have maintained their rightful place in the points table, but despite the relatively athletic clubs attacking, they have not been successful, it is just a failure for them.
