UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[pawel7777]

Porto Vs Man Utd is a pretty good show so far. 4 goals in a little over half an hour is not bad.
It is a fairly even game, but United's problems continue, Ten Hag lacks the charisma to inspire the team and make them perform at their best, plus, his style and tactics clearly don't work.
As I'm typing this, Omorodion has just scored another one and Porto is now leading 3-2.
Sometimes it looks like United's players are already mentally resigned and they know this season is already lost. At this point, it's pretty clear that the club will be trying to replace Ten Hag at the first opportunity.

[Swordsoffreedom]

There is no doubt that Manchester United have performed very well. But whether Manchester United will win it is not to be said. Porto is trying to dominate from the start of the match. Several strong attacks were made by Porto players. Porto will try their best to get points in the match. As Porto have already conceded two goals, the match will be more competitive.

~
Porto's players are confident. So despite being behind by 2 goals, Porto did not slow down their attack. And this is why Porto managed to draw 2-2 in the first half. But Manchester United's players have also been attacking a lot. In the second half we will probably see a lot of attacks from both teams. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Manchester United lose this match.

I agree with yo. There is no wonder if Porto won this match. And the interesting thing is that Porto managed to take the lead early in the second half. I didn't think any team could fall behind so quickly after leading 2-0. If there was another team in place of Manchester United, Porto probably wouldn't have taken the lead so quickly. Manchester United's situation is very bad now.

Hojlund and Rashford performed well in the first half. And although the match was tied 2-2 at the end of the first half, Manchester United's overall performance was relatively good. But Manchester United's players were perhaps overconfident. Or they conceded three goals in a row due to poor match strategy. And right now I think Manchester United is the most likely to lose this match. After taking a 3-2 lead, Porto's players are now performing well.

This must be really a joke. Galatasaray lost 2 points against RFS today. They couldn't maintain a score advantage like 2-0 against a farmers league club. Are you for real? 

I'm really frustrated with our performance in the last 2 games we played. In a domestic league game we had the similar incident from 3-0 to 3-3. Now this happens.    Our defense is still terrible and we don't play serious.

Meanwhile the other 2 Turkish clubs aren't playing well either. Beşiktaş are still 2-0 behind against Frankfurt and Twente also lead by 1-0 against Fenerbahçe. It is a nightmare day for our clubs.

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.

Man United is not really safe at the moment, even though it can currently hold a draw. They can't keep playing like that, at least their defensive coordination must improve quickly, otherwise, they could concede again. Porto will likely be more aggressive and increase their attacking intensity because it is quite obvious that they are aiming for a win at home. Man United still has a chance, but I'm quite doubtful if they can retake the lead because those 2 quick reply goals seemed to have quite an impact on their mentality.

There is one statement I often make and I am beginning to believe that I am even more correct in that statement even if it doesn't appear to be factual. I have always said that what makes big clubs to win matches consecutively is the aura they possess which is the fear other teams that play them will you conceive in their minds. Imagine that Manchester City has a match with Manchester United after which they will play Crystal Palace. If Manchester City manages to play Manchester United 6 goals to nill, Crystal Palace is automatically defeated emotionally. But if man city is unable to Win Manchester United, it will a
give Crystal Palace the moral boost to face them squarely.
What are explained above is the case of Manchester United. Every team that faces them are confident that they could win Manchester United, And that is why Manchester United under Eric Ten Hang will continue to struggle.
Porto is now leading with 3 goals to 2.

[Abu-Naim]

The best thing is just to allow Ten hag go, Manchester United vs. Porto is currently on, and I am just surprised at how Porto equalized in the match after Manchester United scored two goals already. With the way the match is going, I won’t be surprise if Porto win the match. After Manchester United scored two goals, I was thinking maybe they will easily win the match, but Porto have been able to equalize, so I am not really sure if Manchester United will be able to win the match.

 
FC Porto has completed the comeback, they now lead Manchester United 3-2; this is another reason to review Ten Hag’s appointment as Manchester United’s head coach because this season is yet to be stable for them and it is now obvious that Ten Hag’s tactics is not working, and the team need another manager to move the team to another level.

If Manchester United can’t win Porto and they can’t win Aston Villa, which will be their next Premier League match, then I think Ten Hag should be sacked, and I don’t think Ten Hag will win Aston Villa. Let’s just wait and see if they will be able to win against Porto, which I think will be difficult.

FC Porto is not a small team, they one of the teams with the highest experience in European competitions among all the teams in the Europa League, even if Manchester United is in good form, they have to struggle to defeat Porto, and now that the team is struggling to win games, Porto has completed their comeback against United. If they are able to maintain the score line, they will have the complete three points, and Manchester United will have zero points after two matches in the Europa league.

[Tony116]

Porto is now leading with 3 goals to 2.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, we only saw the dominance of Manchester United players. Manchester United had a very good start. But their defense was weak. So the team conceded two goals in the first half. Manchester United conceded another goal in just 5 minutes of the second half. Samu Omorodion scored his second goal from Pepe's pass. Pepe is playing great in this match. He scored one goal and one assist.

In the second half, Manchester United tried to dominate the match, but they were not able to take advantage. Porto's defense is very tight now. Porto's defense is difficult for United's players to break down. Either the match will be a draw or Porto will win. I do not see the possibility of winning Manchester United in this match.

[Spaceman1000$]

How easy is it for Manchester United to concede? After they took a 2-goal lead from Rashford and Hojlund but the Red Devils defense was really weak they didn't guard the Porto players tightly.

Try to imagine only 7 minutes for Porto to equalize through the header of the two goals, it is not impossible not for Porto will continue to put pressure on Manchester United if the defense situation is weak, the goals can increase again.

As we know that Manchester United's performance is indeed bad from everything, especially the back line.

It's really annoying to see how Porto equalize Manchester united and are even winning 3-2 at the moment. Though so far Manchester united are having a greater possession of the ball but they have been struggling to equalize the game after initial lead. One thing the Porto side have going for them is their solid defence this second half, this is something they missed during the first half, they have a solid forwarder like Samu omorodion who has scored 2 goals and it's still causing trouble upfront for united, the Porto side have young and ambiguous players who have been doing wonderful, unlike the Manchester United squad who have few experience players.

Although given the way Manchester united has been putting pressure on Porto, at best they might end up having a draw else it will end up 3-2 in favor of Porto.

I am very disappointed with Manchester United's performance. This is the worst performance I've seen from Manchester United since the start of the season. That's why even though Manchester United took a 2-0 lead, I had a lot of doubts that United would win this match. And the team is under a lot of pressure right now.

Manchester United took a 2-0 lead in just 20 minutes and then Manchester United should have played defensively. And trying to lead 2-0 at the end of the first half. But Manchester United did not play defensively. They continued to attack. The Porto players made good use of this opportunity. Porto scored two goals from the counter attack in the first half. The Manchester United team is only lagging behind because of their poor match tactics. United's players have the ability to perform well. But their performance is erratic due to poor match strategy.

Not at all like I imagined, Porto is apparently very strong at home.
Porto looked weak at the start of the first half, especially when they conceded 2 goals from Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund. However, before the first half ended, Porto was able to restore the situation with two headers from their players. It's really regretful to see that Manchester United's defense was that bad in this match, even now they are trailing 3-2 to Porto. The match is not over yet, but the shadow of defeat is already clearly visible.

Ten Hag has tried to fix it, but they are under pressure. Maguire and Jonny Evans came in to replace Martinez and De Light, a bit risky, but he still tried to experiment to improve the defense. Now, careless Bruno Fernandes has picked up his second yellow card and he has finished the match with a red card. So playing with 10 players is getting harder.

[hahay]

This must be really a joke. Galatasaray lost 2 points against RFS today. They couldn't maintain a score advantage like 2-0 against a farmers league club. Are you for real? 

I'm really frustrated with our performance in the last 2 games we played. In a domestic league game we had the similar incident from 3-0 to 3-3. Now this happens.    Our defense is still terrible and we don't play serious.

Meanwhile the other 2 Turkish clubs aren't playing well either. Beşiktaş are still 2-0 behind against Frankfurt and Twente also lead by 1-0 against Fenerbahçe. It is a nightmare day for our clubs.

It seems not surprising about Besiktas' defeat, because I think Besiktas is in a bad trend right now, so it is difficult to win. Because after all, to score goals also seems Besiktas is not able, so defeat is a result that is difficult to avoid for Besiktas. Because after all, in the previous match Besiktas also lost big against Ajax with a score of 4-0 and in this match, that Eintracht Frankfurt is also in a good trend in the Bundesliga, so even though Eintracht Frankfurt plays away it will still give good results.

But about Galatasaray, I am very disappointed with the draw because after all, Galatasaray has a great chance to win in the match against RFS which I also do not know about the team. Leading first with a score of 2-0 but Galatasaray could not maintain it well or maybe, Galatasaray underestimated the home team, so Galatasaray had to get a draw and I also lost the bet.

The matches against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League, must be won by Manchester United, so that Ten Hag can get out of the pressure. With their erratic performance, the two opponents certainly have the potential to put Ten Hag career on the line. Porto will not be easy to beat, they have a good mentality when playing in European competitions. Manchester United must forget the embarrassing defeat from Tottenham, and work hard to secure full points at Porto home. If the opposite happens, then Ten Hag and his players will again receive harsh criticism from fans. There will be various voices demanding that Ten Hag leave Old Trafford.

As far as the first half went, it seemed like Manchester United's plan to win was likely to be realized. Rashford and Hojlund had put Manchester United 0-2 up within 20 minutes of the first half, but Porto were not a team to be underestimated. Porto is playing at home and they continue to try to recover after falling behind, so Manchester United's defensive concentration must remain good if they don't want to concede.

I saw danger signs in Manchester United's defense which made me think that they were finding it difficult to prevent conceding. If they don't concentrate well on defense, then conceding 2 goals in the first half could be possible. We'll see what's next, but Manchester United looks set to win.

United are now thrilled from their leading position of 2 goals up and have now relinquished the lead to the Porto side who ain't either giving Manchester united side a breathing space right now. Manchester united nowadays under Ten Hag has turned out to be easy to play against that  even when they are leading in  a match it's still not guaranteed they will go upscale and win the game.

It's Porto 3:2 Manchester united. Sadly, Bruno Fernandes has now received a red card for a bad tackling, and now united are playing 10 men which only means things could only go worse for them now as there's no hope of united coming back in this game.

Erik Ten Hag is definitely not doing what he is supposed to do. Because noting is working out for Manchester United, just take a look at their performance in today game the is nothing amazing in them. I was even expecting Manchester United to maintain the draw but just before I noticed I saw another goal for Porto. I will also say this what is Manchester United waiting for that they haven’t find a replacement for Erik Ten Hag? The game is still ongoing, I hope Manchester United equalize, because I put it in mind that this game supposed to end at a draw I will be very disappointed if Manchester United lose this game it is not funny anymore they have to do something better about their performance if not I think they will not do anything tangible again this season.

[Uruhara]

I was too focused on the Porto vs Man Utd match which was quite fierce where 5 goals were scored in that match. And when there wasn't much time left, it felt like Porto would win. And when I checked the results of other matches. I was quite surprised to see that Roma was trailing by 1 goal by their opponent, Elfsborg. It looks like Roma is actually experiencing quite bad results this season. And it was much better when this team was still coached by Mourinho. Now club owners will begin to realize that last season they were too hasty in replacing Mourinho with De Rossi. Initially the results looked good. but at the start of this season De Rossi also immediately lost his job because of the much worse results at the start of this season in Serie A. And then now Roma has returned with their new coach, Juric, it turns out the results are still not that good. This is truly a dilemma that Roma will face this season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Maybe Diego Dalot should be rested for Tyrell Malacia since he returned back from Injury and is currently training with the first team. I wouldn't mind Erik Ten Hag fielding a four man midfied honestly because from.the look ofnhow things went against Tottenham Hotspur, they lacked energy in the midfied. I have just seen the line up and the only difference is the name Casemiro getting a call because he is very well experienced when it comes to top European Competitions. Manchester United players will have to work hard for Erik Ten Hag to remain as head coach for the next games.

I can't deny that it hurt me when Bruno Fernandez was taken off, but that goal by Maguaire was a spectacular header, there's no denying it, in this case they're saving Ten Hag's life a lot, he did it in the first minute, it was spectacular, a great goal, I think Ten Hag has no nails left because he bit them all off, Porto made a defensive error that was catatrophic but I don't blame them, you could see that they were exhausted, for me it was a great effort by MU, with even more reason I will always say that the MU players are excellent, you can see that they've given their all and that is something that is noticeable from miles away, I really liked how Antony played and Garnacho is on another level

[DaNNy001]

With this type of performance I really don't why know why Eric ten hag hasn't been sacked all this while because their performance this season has been nothing but a total failure and the worse part about the issue is that they continue to decline day after day and I believe if something isn't done about this then they might need up in a position that Manchester united have never finished in before in their league. Everyday things gets worse for united and this is why even the fans want ten hag gone.

It looks like Ten Hag should consider benching Bruno Fernandes for a while. 2 consecutive red cards in the Premier League and Europa League, should make his morale questionable. It's obvious that he's not in good shape, and it seems like he has a hard time keeping his composure. It was clearly detrimental to his team. When they had to catch up on their goal deficit, they had to play with 10 men instead, and that obviously made them unable to play optimally. Luckily they didn't concede again and were even able to equalize.

[Ruttoshi]

I can't deny that it hurt me when Bruno Fernandez was taken off, but that goal by Mcguaire was a spectacular header, there's no denying it, in this case they're saving Ten Hag's life a lot, he did it in the first minute, it was spectacular, a great goal, I think Ten Hag has no nails left because he bit them all off, Porto made a defensive error that was catatrophic but I don't blame them, you could see that they were exhausted, for me it was a great effort by MU, with even more reason I will always say that the MU players are excellent, you can see that they've given their all and that is something that is noticeable from miles away, I really liked how Antony played and Garnacho is on another level

Bruno should be very careful with the way he is playing because this is the second time that he has received a red card in two consecutive matches. It is sad to see that the club that took thd lead in the beginning of the match was later struggling to draw the match.

Manchester United was lucky that Maguire equalized the goal with one man down, United was able to share point with Porto on the extra time of the match. Porto were disappointed because they didn't use their opportunity of winning all three points wisely.

Everyone seems to put the blame on Erik Ten Hag for the poor performances of Manchester United while ignoring the fact that the management of Manchester United also have a share of the blame too. I have watched Erik Ten Hag severally during interviews saying he is not scared of being sacked because he has reached an agreement with the management. This explains alot why Erik is not putting much effort to improve on the performances of the team. The management has done nothing to push Erik Ten Hag to work hard. As long as the management is still being relaxed on this issue, the team will continue to perform poorly.

The match ended in a draw, Porto 3 vs 3 Man United.
The course of the match was very dramatic, Maguire saved Man United from defeat, Bruno Fernandes received consecutive red cards. I can't believe it, the Red Devils who were ahead in the first half allowed Porto to turn things around, luckily they avoided defeat today. I even suspect Porto would have really put Ten Hag in big trouble, if they hadn't conceded in the final minutes. With the draw, Man United have only collected 2 points in the Europa League, because previously they also drew with Twente.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Despite the circumstances surrounding coach De Rossi's sack, I still do not think that mediocrity or incompetence of any form should be tolerated hence if things are not going as expected by the Roma management then they reserve the right to take any decision they deem fit in order to improve the performance of the team and if terminating De Rossi's contract is one of those decisions then it should be respected by everybody involved. De Rossi in my own opinion is a good coach and did perform very well with the team before the end of last season but failed to improve things at the club this season, though a lot of people think they could have given him more time instead which I think was the right to do but the management thought otherwise and took a different decision rather.

There are coaches who give many opportunities , and in this case DeRossi was not given even half an opportunity to prove his worth , but rather he was immediately removed from what he had been doing for some time, I think this can trigger some annoyance in the players, because I think that if they were familiar with him, sometimes the owners of the clubs do not think about the psychological impact on them, in view of this it has been determined that practically things have to go in a direct sense to the things that are Beneficial for the long-term results and they will be able to benefit from things like classification, at least if they finish in the top 4 of the Series.
