Trabzonspor tried everything to find goal against Alanyaspor but couldnt score at the end.
Trabzonspor wasnt able to get its 5th win back-to-back at the Super League after having goalless draw against Alanyaspor during 21st week despite of doing everything to win today's crucial game and carry on its great performance at the league during 2017 year.
It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor tried everything to win today's game, especially during 1st half of the game, as the game has been played at one goal and has provided great statistics of having 8 dangerous attacks during first 30 minutes. Therefore, the scoreline should not provide a view that the game has been played dull as most of the chances has been indeed being very dangerous and Trabzonspor is basically being either unlucky in chance or could not pass Alanyaspor player Haydar Yilmaz who has shown incredible performance with high number of saves tonight. Meanwhile, Trabzonspor midseason transfer Hugo Rodallega has come out 1st time at the starting 11 and has created great 3 chances during today's game and has played an important role at today's forward seeking game.
Alanyaspor has played its first game with its new head coach Saffet Susic and taking account that it was playing against team which has been at the great form since midseason break it has provided great defence and goalkeeper. Their could be criticised for focussing too much into draw but taking out circumstances it was good result for them undoubetedly.
It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor performance during the game has been great and their been only unlucky to find a goal. If team carries on like that it could become reality for them to fight for Europa League as their are currently 6 points behind 4th placed Fenerbahce.
Besiktas does play like champions but there is long time until end of the season.
Besiktas has got an important advantage following 3:1 win against Akhisar Belediyespor during Super League 21st week with its road for league title at the end of the season as it has gained 4 point advantage over Basaksehirspor, and 7 points from 3rd placed Galatasaray.
At the week when all of their direct opponents, including Fenerbahce, has drawn their own game it was important to win the game and get into more comfortable position at the league table, which it has managed to do. This was achieved with full concentration by the players during the game and having set this task to be achieved. Apart of getting into point difference, referring to the recent performance of all of the league contenders it becomes visible that Besiktas are showing best and most organised football and if it carries on like that it could get the league title. However, there is still 13 weeks which is long period as there is 33 points at stake and 4-10 point difference can be closed but it all depends how Besiktas perfoms in upcoming weeks. It is also important for Ricardo Quaresma and Cenk Tosun performance this season and those two players can play an important role for rest of the season.
Besiktas would be coming out to the important week right now where it would focus to defend its 3:1 1st leg win against Hapoel Beer-Sheva at the Europa League and later get a chance to make point difference from its direct opponent Galatasaray to 10 points.
Fenerbahce shows fear at attacking football even when controlling game.
Fenerbahce performance against Kasimpasa during Super League 21st week has once again shown that the team is having serious issues at the performance level which could be higher deeper thant into wills and focus of the players.
In fact, Fenerbahce players did give their best during the game with controlling ball and having high possession but somehow there is seems to strange fear among players, and hence with the head coach Dick Advocaat, to go forward against opponent Kasimpasa which to all respect to them is lower than them as could be realised from tactics used by Kasimpasa at this season. Following Besiktas Turkish Cup game against Besiktas, which it has only won with providing nerves and pressure, Fenerbahce didnt win 3 games and were not able to able to show an attacking football which was promised by the Dick Advocaat earlier this season. Dick Advocaat is right that it is not his team and he is working in conditions which he was aiming, but following 21st weeks and plus playing other games in other competitions he could have found solutions how to use this team at its maximum level.
Fenerbahce needs to win against Krasnodar on 22nd February if it wants to carry on Europa League but so far the team performance doesnt provide much hope for a team and unfortunately Krasnodar will be coming as favourites to the game.
