UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[HajiBagi]

Interesting nights in today's UEL night football. I only saw the Gala vs Tottenham game + a bit of that Man United game which was mostly in the first half when it was goalless.

I just went over all the scores of the UEL matches today and observed that all matches except that Frankfurt - Slavia Prague game had at least 2 goals score in all of time.

Congrats to anyone that won today. I didn't make any gambles today after taking 2 consecutive Ls for UCL MD4 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I know that the game between Galatasaray and Tottenham is going to be tough and anyone who watches the match will know that the match is very tough, Galatasaray is very good when it comes to scoring goals but they also conceded goals, Galatasaray won the match from the first half with 3-1 and before the match to end Tottenham make it 3-2 and Galatasaray was lucky yesterday that Tottenham doesn't play very well and score goals yesterday, Galatasaray attacking players are very good but I think the defensive position is not strong and that is why they always concede goals even when they are winning the game.

And the game between Manchester United and PAOK FC I know that Manchester United is the favorite to win the match because if you look at Manchester United's current performance they are playing well, the only problem Manchester United has now is that their attacking players don't know how to score a goal, some players like Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho and Rashford don't know how to score a goal and we can see that from last two matches of Manchester United.

[Polkeins]

I am sure those who watched the Galatasaray - Tottenham match live will agree with me that if Galatasaray plays like this, they will lose no matter who the opposing team is. They are playing perfectly. Sara is managing the midfield like a maestro, Osimhen scored 2 goals as a forward and one of his goals was disallowed because he was offside. Yunus is playing perfectly. The team is perhaps playing its best match in Europe tonight. There are some teams that like high-risk matches, and Galatasaray is one such team. They are playing amazingly and as a Turk, I was proud of the way they played in the first half.

Osimhen was able to kill the show in the first half with his two outstanding goals, which he scored brilliantly on the 31st minutes and 39th minutes of the game to put Galatasaray on the lead. Merten is a good combination with Osimhen because they understand each other very well on the field. Merten was the man behind Osimhen two goals with his endless assist. Tottenham was unable to stop Galatasaray as they dominated the match in all angles winning possession at the same. The first half ended 3-1.

Osimhen indeed showcase his wealth of experience tonight which is a proof that he is never hyped but an amazing player. When it comes to the business of scoring goals, he is good at that art as tonight is yet another testimony to that. Although I attribute the win tonight by Galatasaray to luck as everything aligned to their favor. The second half saw them playing very bad football that would have made Tottenham equalize the goals with one man down. There were also too many mistakes from them which is not too encouraging for a team with the quality of players they have.  

When we remember Osimhen and his goals I guess we should mention Dries Mertens, who gave 2 excellent goal assists to Osimhen, especially beautiful came the third goal of Galatasaray, but in any case Osimhen had a great start in the Turkish club from 8 matches managed to score 6 goals.
Tottenham also played great, although they lost, but the match was very entertaining and Tottenham fought until the end and at the end could even equalize the score even playing in the minority.
It is also unclear what happened to Icardi, I have not seen the news how badly injured he was and for Galatasaray his absence will be a significant weakening.

In that match, Osimhen managed to score two quite impressive goals and led Galatasaray to victory in a fierce match against Tottenham. Well, regarding Osimhen, this player is very easy to get injured. While playing for Napoli we almost got used to seeing Osimhen in the middle of the season getting some minor injuries which kept him out for a few weeks. But fortunately he always avoided serious injury. He only often suffers from minor injuries. But still, that's not a good thing. Because it would be better if he could maintain his fitness and avoid even the slightest injury. Tottenham, who looked in good form, had to admit defeat in this match. It's quite unfortunate but it's a defeat that must be accepted.

Osimhen performed quite well in the match and he managed to contribute two goals for Galatasaray's victory in that quite crucial match. The red card received by the Tottenham player made Galatasaray even more dominant and they managed to make some good efforts in front of goal. Tottenham lost their balance because they lost the player after the referee gave Will a red card. This is an important win for Galatasaray and they still have a chance to qualify for the next round and vice versa for Tottenham who still have a chance to qualify for the next round.

Unfortunately with the advantage of the number of players from the 60th minute could not make Galatasaray add goals in the second half. they played well but the advantage of players actually made Galatasaray's game open some gaps in their defense. Tottenham played quite badly, they often lost the ball in short passes and that also happened in several previous matches.
There was no significant change from Tottenham's game. they sometimes played well, but sometimes played not well. Galatasaray deserved the victory.

[punk.zink]

I know that the game between Galatasaray and Tottenham is going to be tough and anyone who watches the match will know that the match is very tough, Galatasaray is very good when it comes to scoring goals but they also conceded goals, Galatasaray won the match from the first half with 3-1 and before the match to end Tottenham make it 3-2 and Galatasaray was lucky yesterday that Tottenham doesn't play very well and score goals yesterday, Galatasaray attacking players are very good but I think the defensive position is not strong and that is why they always concede goals even when they are winning the game.

Galatasaray deserved the win because they were better than Tottenham, and it was obvious that they were very motivated because it was a home game and their opponent was one of the strong teams in the EPL. The pressure Galatasaray puts on really made Tottenham struggle to build up neatly, and it also made it hard for Tottenham's defense to coordinate well, so there was a fatal mistake that resulted in a goal for Galatasaray.

Tottenham really had a bad day because instead of equalizing, they made another mistake which resulted in a red card. It seems like the pressure from Galatasaray is really affecting their composure.

And the game between Manchester United and PAOK FC I know that Manchester United is the favorite to win the match because if you look at Manchester United's current performance they are playing well, the only problem Manchester United has now is that their attacking players don't know how to score a goal, some players like Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho and Rashford don't know how to score a goal and we can see that from last two matches of Manchester United.

I agree with you. Man United lacks clinical finishing, and maybe if they had that, I think they could have scored more goals. Now we just have to wait to see whether Amorim will be able to fix this deficiency, or he might need to sign a new striker. There were rumors that Amorim would bring Viktor Gyökeres with him, and if you look at how the striker played against Man City, it seems like he is a potential striker, and he might shine even brighter if he gets the chance to play with a big team.

[Polkeins]

We have seen Manchester United perform well in all three games since Erik Ten Hag was sacked. Manchester United drew the match with Chelsea. Manchester United wins against Leicester City and PAOK. Manchester United's overall performance in these three matches was quite good. It is largely due to Ten Hag's eccentric match tactics that we have not seen a better performance from Manchester United so far.

Van Nistelrooy cool touch led Manchester United to their first win in the Europa League this season, Amad Diallo became the hero of the victory after scoring two goals. Since the change of coach, Manchester United's playing style has become more lively, the use of opportunities has become more mature and the chemistry between the players has begun to improve. I don't want to say Ten Hag is tactically poor, but during his tenure as coach, Manchester United have not won in their last three UEL matches.

After the sacking of Ten Hag the players have a desire to play apparently and now it seems that with any coach they play better, although we must admit that Van Nistelrooy will leave Amorim a good legacy and a team that still remembers how to win.
It turns out that this is the first victory of MU in the European Cup for almost a whole year and the last victory of MU was a victory in October 2023 on Copenhagen 1:0.
It is not clear why the management delayed so long with the dismissal of Ten Hag, because the results of MU were just terrible.

Since Ten Hag left the team, the mood in the team seems to have improved, perhaps the players also saw him as the reason for the poor results. Amorim will most likely try to take with him some important players that he is used to working with. Amorim's work at Sporting is impressive. I am even a little surprised that Sporting decided to let him go, but in the end it is just a game and they received good compensation for this transfer. Now Amorim will be expected to do great things for Manchester United.

Galatasaray performance was quite impressive yesterday and Osimhen was able to score two goals which gave Galatasaray the win. Galatasaray was able to stop Tottenham winning streak in Europa, giving them three consecutive wins in the league. Europa League is always unpredictable and full of surprises, and no one knows whivh vlhb is capable to win to win the league this season, because there are still some good clubs out there unknown to you.

Amorim could be the answer or vice versa. The same hope we have seen in the past when Erik Ten Hag first coached Manchester United. All the challenges are still the same for Amorim to fix the problems. What is clear is that the competition in the Premier League is very different from the Portuguese League so he is aware of this and tries to measure the extent of his quality as a coach.

Amorim has great potential to bring positive changes in Manchester because his performance at Sporting so far has been very impressive, besides that, if the Manchester squad can adopt well the philosophy and strategy applied by Amorim later, it is likely that they will be able to experience an increase in performance and also a better game than ten hag before, ten hag departure has left the team with poor condition at this time, So it is natural that ten hag's dismissal is the most awaited thing by manchester united fans so far, if we look at amorim's achievements so far in training the club of course we can say if he is a talented coach and has great potential, but it cannot be denied that the challenges in the Premier League are very different with tighter competition and high expectations than other leagues, so indeed amorim needs time to adapt later.

It turns out that Osimhen can still show his quality in crucial matches like that so he still has to be considered a very good player this season. Because Galatasaray's victory when hosting Tottenham in the Europa League was something that the home team really wanted and it was perfectly obtained after Osimhen was able to contribute two goals in the match and will be quite enthusiastic when facing the next match here. But if only the Tottenham player did not get a red card in the second half, I think the result would be very different.

Amorin will certainly bring some players to Old Trafford to strengthen Manchester United.
I heard that Manchester United refused Amorim's request regarding his desire to do his job until the end of this season.

So far Manchester United's performance has been better than before. During Van Nistelrooy's time as a coach, the players' game looks very different when coached by Ten Hag.
From the 3 matches handled by Nistelrooy, it seems that the fans have placed a lot of hope in Nistelrooy and it seems that they think that Manchester United's management is too quick to find a head coach.

But if only the Tottenham player did not get a red card in the second half, I think the result would be very different.

Do you think so though? Yes, having a red card as a team can weaken their resolve and fighting spirit but we could see from statistics in the game that Galatasaray were the better playing side; 28 total shots to Tottenham Hotspur's 5 and ten where on target while the visitors could just boast of 3 so I won't just blame their dismal performance on the red card, because they were already playing shitty football from the start.

It is undeniable that a player like Osimhen, his performance is still dangerous for the opponent. It was proven in the match that he managed to prove that he was indeed worthy of being a great striker and he should still be worthy of playing in the champions league. But unfortunately his selfishness became a disaster because he had problems with the club so he had to be loaned. In fact, if he had been patient, it might have been a scary specter in Napoli with Conte. Maybe Lukaku would not have been Napoli's spearhead if Osimhen was still in Napoli.

In addition, Galatasaray's victory was not surprising, because we know that any team that visits Turkey will definitely have difficulties, the atmosphere of the stadium there was very thunderous, Galatasaray seemed to prove that the hosts should not disappoint their fans at home.

Moreover, Galatasaray has players like Hakim Ziyek, Icardi and Osimhen. An important win for Galatasaray, and this defeat leaves Tottenham in seventh place with 9 points despite having a great chance of qualifying for the last 16 but this defeat should be a lesson for them so that in the next match they can improve themselves and not make the same mistakes that lead to losing points.

I watched the Manchester United game against POAK last night and all I could see was a team who was determining to fight for the club badge more than they've ever been in the last four months and if that can happen under interim coach Ruud Van Nisterooy, then what do you think will happen when Ruben Amorim finally takes over as the club manager.
The report that Amorim will help Manchester United convince some of the Sporting players to join the club I don't think is true because just after their UEFA Champions League win against Manchester City, he rubbished the claim that Viktor Gyokeres will join the club in January. That being said, he might end up bringing in few of his current players to Manchester United by January or probably next summer.

Galatasaray played a magnificent game against Tottenham. Galatasaray showed a magnificent performance in the first half and the first half of the second half. They played a game that proved that this team should be in the Champions League. Of course, winning the match is very important, but Galatasaray lost Mauro Icardi after this match. Icardi, who was injured, ended his season. This is a big problem for them. Osimhen is a great player. I hope he doesn't get injured.

One wouldn't have known what was wrong with the players when Erik Tag Hag was in charge. The club was in disarray and couldn't produce good results. But Ruud van Nistelrooy seems to be doing the job the former coach failed to do. Maybe the Dutch assistant manager would have been allowed to be in charge till January before Rúben Amorim came in. We don't know the fate of Nistelrooy but some newspapers reported that some current and past players of the club want the Manchester United legend to remain in the club.  

We are gradually seeing the rise of this young striker Amad Diallo. He is strong, rugged, and versatile. The winger can use both legs perfectly. Both of his goals yesterday were superb but I loved the second goal. He should be allowed to play consistently because he deserves it.      

[CLS63]

Last night was quite a rough one for me as a Fenerbahçe fan. While Galatasaray played great and won against Tottenham, Fenerbahçe played very poorly and lost to Az Alkmaar that's been struggling. After this defeat, I don't think Fenerbahçe has any chance left to finish in the top 8 in the Europa League.

Even though Man United has lost their glory, and they are now experiencing a downturn but I think there are not many coaches who can refuse the offer to become a Man United coach because after all Man United is still a big team and it will also provide a great challenge. Man United and the Premier League are clearly a big temptation for Amorim, and when he decided to go there, that meant he was ready for all the consequences.

The boss certainly would not have thought that Ruud van Nistelrooy would be able to bring about such a positive change, and it is indeed quite unfortunate that Nistelrooy's coaching period is coming to an end. If Man United were smart enough, they should have advised Amorim to keep Nistelrooy as his assistant.

[bitgolden]

Looking at the line-up that has come out now there is no De Ligt and Rashford because it looks like van Nistelrooy still wants to try to optimize Lindelof and Garnacho but actually this will not be a problem because these two players are also still quite good especially in flexibility issues.

Manchester United's target should be 3 points for now because looking at the 3 matches they have played the draw in the end did not bring them towards a good thing so it is quite important for Manchester United at this time to get 3 points so that their conditions can still be in a fairly good zone.

Van Nistelrooy's debut match also against Leicester was still quite good so there is a big hope of course that van Nistelrooy is currently carrying even though his position is still only interim but I think the responsibility given to him is still able to answer with 3 points because after all this is still important for the continuation of van Nistelrooy's career.

The problem is that I would understand no rashford and instead using garnacho, that makes sense and I am fine with that. But is De Ligt really an issue? Whenever he plays, he plays very well and I believe he is a great player, there is really no reason that would not happen. I believe instead of Lindelof he can use De Ligt and it would still work fine, doesn't feel like it would be a wrong decision.

In any case, United has a brighter future, they are going to get Amorim and when they get him they will do better, Ruud is meaning well and trying his best but he is just not as good of a manager as Amorim, obviously. So when the time comes and Amorim arrives, we are going to see United do better, only a few days left now, of course early games may not be that great but with time we are going to see him settle in and see all players and make better decisions and improve the team for sure. We will see United finish top ten once again, and next season will be much better.
