Where do Man utt come from the goals and Tottenham do not appear despite the priorities of the AZ game – the Europa League and the UEFA Conference League Hits & Miss | Football news
Sky Sports footballers are analyzed Thursday at the UEFA Europa League and Conference League, while the Spurs lose in AZ, Manchester United draw at Real Sociedad, Rangers enjoys a famous victory against Fenerbahce and Chelsea defeated FC Kopenhagen.
Where will the goals come to Man UTD?
The Europa League proves a nice escape for Ruben Amorim from the beginning of the nightmare as the main coach of Manchester United in the country.
But one thing he can’t escape is the fact that he is in charge of the team that does not achieve enough achievement enough.
Joshua Zirkzee’s goal in the draw in Real Sociedad was only his second since 2025 and would be saved if the real goalkeeper Sociedada Alex Remiro had paid attention.
Alejandro Garnacho, without a goal in 22 games, and Rasmus Hojlund, without a goal at 19, did not achieve the achievement of this calendar year. Not a type of front three to instill fear in opposition, right?
This is all that Amorim has to play at the moment thanks to the failure to add teenage striker Chido Obi to the Europa League team on time for a knockout phase. This is also the reason why United could name only five Outfield players on a bench in Spain.
Even when H He is understandably angry with decisions.
He is sorry for the state of the thing and leaves the ammarts swim against the tide.
United can take confidence in the other leg after their appearance in the anoeti, but this inevitable reality will be in mind the amomes while fighting for the season.

All this preparation – and the Spurs never appeared
After losing to Manchester City last week, Ange Postecoglou almost admitted that he was a Europa League priority over the Premier League after resting his son Heung-Mom, Dejan Kulusevka and Santa Spence eight days ago.
An unprecedented performance in Alkmaar would be bad enough without knowing that he had bent on it all over the Spurs season.
It is difficult, in some ways, to be too desperate because of such a parish performance, including a solitary shot on the target and xg of barely 0.4, given in seven days Tottenham, could easily be in the Europa League quarterfinals.
But it was a pernicious in their desperate worst case. Imagine a semi -final other leg Carabao Cup against Liverpool. Maybe worse.
It was summed up by a terrible free-kick routine just before halftime, where James Maddison-in place to go for a goal-giganty managed one or two, which in the end completely lost the opportunity.
He feels exactly the same all night. The Spurs never found their rhythm, they never started. The whole point of the Era postecoglou was supposed to be free, attacking football.
At least they would collapse without a fight. This was slightly more than a damp press, although the Spurs have AZ’s bad finish to thank you for being still saved by the relationship.

Once again Renjers save their best for Europe
Barry Ferguson adjusted the formation and decided on the back of five in Istanbul. They may not have held a clean sheet, but they did not go as far behind in the last two home games.
They looked stronger defensive, but also in the attack with Cyriel Dessers and Vaclav Cerny, showing what they could offer when they show their best.
Exiting the Scottish Cup in the Queen’s Park was more than a disappointment, but that means a free week to get ready to return while trying to establish a quarterfinals against Roma or Athletic Bilbao.
Fenerbahce was disappointing, but it was their first defeat in 19 games. There is no way that this tie is over, and Jose Mourinho certainly has a plan for the other leg in Ibrox next week.
It will have more options with Fred Back than the suspension, and Jack Butland has been tested for a ranges aim on several occasions.
Ibrox under the lights was set up as a cracker, the question is, if fans can go behind the players, not on their backs to encourage them to another famous European victory?
The lack of consistency in Chelsea’s game is concern
This was a performance that summarized this team of Chelsea and may have abolished their season.
They were so messy in parts. They were excellent in parts.
Just two goals to the expected goals of 0.06 before the break was not a sign of a team to win in this competition. It was too safe. Passing without purpose.
This immediately changed when Maresca turned to her bench at halftime, bringing Levi Colwilla, Christopher Nkunku and the fully engaged Enza Fernandez, whose enthusiasm and bite set the tone for a much improved another period.
Still, Chelsea, who cried with a ticking clock, switched from a set-in-chamade and allowed Danish champions to maintain a tie alive.
Understanding is a common trait of a team in development full of potential, but the ups and downs for 90 minutes remain a lot of concern for the long -term prospect of this manager.
