Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)

[FootballHQ]

Roma losing again, Mourinho close to blowing up yet?

Since last season they've added Matic, Dybala and Belotti and kept Zaniolo so they should be serious threat to winning this competition below the favourites as it could be their best route to CL.

Result that caught my eye although they did lose to Bodo 6-1 and won that competition so perhaps it will work out in the long run.

[KirkDuyt]

Lazio batter us.
Midgeyland batter Lazio.
Stormgraz beat Midgeyland.
We batter Sturmgraz.

Rome clubs should refuse to come to Scandinavia.

Roma do play nice football.

2-0 Bodø Glimt

Trying their best to throw away the points now.

Not as entertaining as Saint-Gilloise Vs Malmö !!

Yeah, should have been game over

 

[avgp_1]

Union lose again. Fenerbahçe with an equalizer 2-2

 

[stefan92]

Union is embarassing. At least Freiburg and Köln seem to take the Europa (Conference) League seriously enough to win their games.

 

[Samid]

Arse ahead

 

[mu4c_20le]

Another jammy goal

 

[GhastlyHun]

Union is embarassing. At least Freiburg and Köln seem to take the Europa (Conference) League seriously enough to win their games.

Today they won while being a man down for an entire half, so they finally managed to show some of their grit.

 

[Irrational.]

How are shitheads like Xhaka still at Arse?

 

[KirkDuyt]

Bit harsh this pen for us.

 

[Lecland07]

Arsenal look to have the knack of beating smaller sides. Can see them getting 80 points in the PL, at least, this season.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Him and Partey are their best players

Don't know what you mean by 'shithead', but he has been one of the best players for the team that is top of the league so far this season.

 

[KirkDuyt]

0-2 up while playing horrendously. Hope we can pull through. Midgeyland will definitely try to get one of us send off.

 

[Donaldo]

Bench looks promising. Exciting capable players at the very least.

 

[SilentWitness]

Why aren’t Arsenal poo anymore.

This Gabriel Jesus guy scored some points tonight. He might get some minutes in the PL soon.

 

[Zoo]

Lovely goal from Betis. They play some great stuff

 

[Idxomer]

Roma are in danger of dropping down to the conference league if they lose this.

You clearly know nothing about football. Xhaka is an excellent football player.

Was just going to ask that, Roma should be having a serious go at winning this to secure CL so a bit of a disaster to their season if they can't finish ahead of Ludogarets.

2-2, I hate you Feyenoord, cnuts.

It’s only taken him 6 years and being booed off the pitch by his own fans for him to finally start playing some decent football.

Levels.

Well unless you discount him continuing to play well for Switzerland. I think it was always a case of Arsenal playing him as a DLP, which wasn't his favoured position either in Gladbach or Switzerland. Now that they are playing a more defensive midfielder with him and he doesn't have that responsibility he's doing better.

Brainless player but then don't make him the brains of the team.

Agree. I will confess I've not been a supporter of his for most of his time here, though I did not agree with the treatment we gave him at Palace (that was horrible from the "fans"). But you're right - it was the fact he was the last midfielder. His strengths aren't in tackling or defensive positioning. Which is why he looked pretty poor and was so error prone. I remember one season he had the unenviable record in the PL of making the most errors that led directly to goals.

But Since Partey's arrival a couple of seasons ago, he's gone from strength to strength and we're now seeing what Wenger saw in him. His passing, long balls and ability to control the midfield are better utilised higher up the pitch, and he's scoring/assisting much more. Those who don't watch Arsenal much often think he's only kicked on this season as he has seem to gone another level, but in truth he's been steadily improving over the past 12-18 months.

Give it time.

He's been playing in the wrong position since Wenger bought him. He was never a holding midfield player or a #6. For Switzerland he plays more like a #8 and it's where he's most effective. Arteta is playing him further forward as they now have a proper holding midfield player in Partey. It's night and day for some players when they're being played out of position.

 

[Samid]

Arse is such a flukey team.

Arse is such a flukey team.

Not sure what other luck we have had this season, but ok.

I read that about Liverpool on here every week without fail for the past 3 seasons too until this year. Must be terrible being Utd and never getting any luck?
