⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winner: Roma!

[masulum]

Having just experienced a few unsatisfactory matches, AS Roma fans are reportedly starting to dislike Mourinho. News of this came after Roma's draw against Bodo/Glimt. I think the fans expect too much from Mourinho and are not ready for a result that doesn't live up to their expectations. Indeed, Roma should be able to beat Bodo/Glimt, but anyway, so far I think Roma are still doing well compared to last season. Even at UEL, they are still on a positive trend by being at the top of the table, they only got negative results in few matches back, but i think maybe the Europa Conference League is not the league that Mourinho is focusing on.

they had too high expectations when they came to rome with such high expectations it was very clear that they could not accept a draw or a loss.
on the other hand mou is a pretty great coach despite the various controversies he created he is still one of the best coaches.
when the fans don't like mou because of the poor performance a few times it's too much and I think every team has done something like this too.
On the other hand, in the match against Bodo/Glimt, I don't think Roma played and mou's tactics were actually very good, but Bodo/Glimt also played brilliantly, especially their back line.

I think it's natural that now fans are starting to dislike mourinho after two bad results against a small team like Bodo/Glimt, I think Roma fans are too hopeful that their squad can avenge the 6-1 defeat they got in the previous match against Bodo /Glimt, but in reality they are disappointed if their expectations don't match what happened in that match, I think the Roma fans should be a little patient with mourinho now, because after all mourinho certainly needs time to perfect the roma squad this season.

I think that they lacked confidence. Roma is a strong team. However, their performance in the last few matches is not very good. At the same time, after the embarrassing 6-1 defeat in the previous match, the players in this match may have been under some stress. They have to play better in the return matches. My expectation is that they will win all the upcoming matches.

They have confidence and it is just they don't have enough resource to replace when they need good substitutions. They played not bad in matches against Juventus and AC Milan.

In the previous match in Conference League, Mourinho used the second squad for Roma and they lost too big. The coach admitted that Roma don't have good resource for the second squad.

If that's the case, as he said, then why did he bring them to the first squad and use them? If you are not good, you don't play. It's simple as that. IMO this is an excuse, just to justify that in fact Roma and he as a manager don't care for ECL. I wonder if he was in some other, lower-budget team than Roma, he would say the same?

I enjoyed the spurs game against vitense, I enjoyed the formation 3-4-3, I know is just the beginning and the spurs players are getting use to the Conte style but what I really like is the full backs the way they are pumping up and down is interesting to see such energy from the players in that first 25 minutes.i think spurs have the right full backs for Conte in Reguilion and Emerson Royal,let's see how they go in the premier League against Everton this weekend.

[buwaytress]

Spurs have done it again! After losing to Vitesse, now they have lost to the mighty Mura, the club Google doesn't even have a club crest for. Yes they played with 10 men, but even Kane scoring while not playing in the Premier League couldn't get them out of trouble.

2nd in the group, but beaten by the two weakest teams there. They really don't want to win this league, do they?

Nightmares yet, Conte?

Bad results but good performance especially after the red card,I think the players are playing for their coach in that game,you won't notice is shorting one,they were brave,they equalise the goal and would have won the game with a little bit of luck but it was not meant to be,if espirito Nuno was still in charge they won't have been a good performance.even if they lost I can see some improvement

[Spack17]

The Group C is in a really interesting condition now. Considering the live standings, Bodo/Glimt are still the leader as they are winning by 1-0 vs CSKA Sofia now. And Roma are 3-0 ahead and getting a comfortable result vs Zorya Luhansk. But they are still one point behind Bodo/Glimt. This is because they were destroyed by Bodo/Glimt with an unbelievable 6-1 result away. And in the game in Italy, they drew with them by 2-2 also. Roma may not advance being at the top seemingly.

Spurs losing to Mura is one of the biggest shock of this week,as well as Partizan losing to Flora. This two teams should have won heavily and both lost. Mura was able to score somehow in the last minut . Spurs are now in deep trouble of going into the next round

[LTU_btc]

Spurs loss against Mura is beyond embarrassing. I don't really know what to say about it. Now they're risking to be eliminated after group stage.
Flora win against Partizan is also surprising. Who could have thought that small team from Estonia without any foreign players will be alive before last round. Anorthosis won against Gent surprisingly too and this team also have chances to reach next round.

@LTU_btc Conte doesn’t bring instant success because look when he joined Inter Milan there were bad results, but he didn’t lose hope and he made sure that player’s followed his instructions and in the end he won them the league title, hence Tottenham fans will have to be patient with him.

Furthermore even though it’s a big loss for Tottenham, but in my opinion it’ll only help Conte fix the team in the long run provided he’s not sacked due to poor performances in the short term.

Rich clubs like Tottenham aren't really motivated to play in such tournament like the Europa Conference league.The financial incentives are really low and the prestige of wining such tournament is questionable.
I wouldn't be surprised if some eastern European team reaches the final and wins the Conference League.
The British and western European teams are really high class,compared to the eastern teams,but the lack of motivation plays a really important role here.
Scandinavian teams also have a big chance of reaching to the semi finals.I really like the Norwegian champion Bodjo/Glimt.They might be the big surprise of the European tournaments this year.

yeah, both Flora and Anorthosis wins are surprising, and that could be the fact that Gent and Partizan were almost secured into next round
now, Flora has some chances, but they have to win in Belgium and expect Partizan loss in Belgrade, so hard to expect their pass-through, but they brought in some interest into next round

Spurs are another story, they are now in real trouble for next round, Vitesse needs large win over Mura, or any win, in case Tottenham do not win over Rennes

And I missed out on BOTH too. What makes it worse is that I actually put money down on Talinn two or three times already and then decided to skip them when they actually did win. Would easily have been above 10/1 for either one, but there you go, I need to be more disciplined to trust my instincts more and more now.

Spurs need a big win, and it's against the strongest team in the group. But maybe they actually do better against a team that tries to attack, who knows?

The defeat from mura became the first defeat for Conte and of course this was quite disappointing because against a relatively smaller team than them, with this result, tottenham had to be evicted to third position with 7 points from the 5 matches they had run, with conditions like this making tottenham should get an absolute win in the last game against Rennes next week.

Many unexpected results yesterday gent didnt surprise me much since in the league they are not performing well and they are struggling but for partisan and especially tottenham it was a huge surprise mura won with an odd of   23 it was thanks to the red card of sessegnon and the many opportunities missed by tottenham team and now conte job will became more complicated especially that vitesse has the same number of points now tottenham team need to win the last game against rennes to avoid surprises.

Conte had to see for himself how poor this squad is both in ability and attitude ,now he will be under no illusions about the state of the squad. I can't believe people are judging Conte and questioning after only a few games, he's not a miracle worker, this isn't an easy fix. I think Conte needs to build the team up again from the inside out, get rid of the dead wood, buy players that want to play for the club. Sessegnon sending off was stupid and they were always going to struggle with 10 men, this tournament is very poor and if I'm honest they would be better off out if it, concentrate on getting at least top 6 and potentially a league or FA Cup this season and build on that.

[leea-1334]

Sigh guys you all are right, Spurs is the biggest achiever in this league (UCL finalists 2 years ago) and yet they are the ones who may not even progress to the last 16.

This loss was worse than the first one, and worse even than Roma to Bodo/Glimt,,, we have Kane and we have Conte, and Alli, and Sessegnon red card was proof he is not mature enough for world class football.

It is hard to be a Spurs fan now.

It shows that money doesn't score goals. Tottenham should dominate the Cup, if you only consider the value of the club and the financial resources available. As a more traditional football fan, I welcome such clubs being eliminated early. I hope that football will soon change its way of thinking.
