What happened in Turkish football today? 26/10/2018


Besiktas recent performance does show worrying image.

Besiktas has provided one of the worst performance in last 3 years as it has lost to Belgian side Genk without showing any fighting spirit and obviously losing its speed which it had in previous seasons.

Among of providing pretty poor performance against Genk during game which it has lost with 4:2 scoreline and despite of finding goals with help of Vagner Love, Besiktas also didnt provide much reaction football and does show that their are some either internal issues at the club or players are not being trained in great manner. Players does seem to have lack of providing fast game and this poor performance has led for 1st time strong criticism and protest from Besiktas supporters who tend to be pushing force of the team. Even through supporters can be criticised for providing such as negative reaction towards game, it needs to be admitted that players did deserve such reaction from supporters. Genk which is 4 years young when looking at average age of the side, has provided much more better game compare to their opponents and has got well deserved performance while Besiktas urgently needs to figure out what went wrong and find solutions to those problems.

Besiktas performance is going down by each game and it needs to find ways to stop this poor performance until its not too late and it can solve issues.

Fenerbahce has gained confidence from Anderlecht game.

Even through Fenerbahce didnt manage to provide top level performance against Anderlecht during Europa League 3rd week game, it needs to be stated that this game would provide motivational boost for the side in upcoming weeks.

With Fenerbahce losing game with 2:0 scoreline at the start of the game, did show an image that this game will not be much different from other games which side has shown this season however great performance especially between 53rd and 57th minute of team, especially  of Michael Frey and Hasan Ali Kaldirim, has helped side to draw game to 2:2 and in fact did have some chance to win game if it didnt provide too much defensive football. The result of the game, which does put them now to 2nd place even through keeps their chances alive for knockout stage pretty strong wouldnt not be stated satisfactorily but adding of poor result and also lack of finding goals, this result could push team forward and improve for upcoming games both in Europa and domestically as it has gained confidence especially to Frey with goal and assist against Anderlecht.

What would be important from now for Fenerbahce to carry on this momentum gained and add to it with results and performance if it wants to turn around so far its disastrous season.

Sevilla game was good experience for Akhisarspor. 

It was expected that Akhisarspor quite reasonably would have very difficult game against Sevilla at Europa League and it turned just like that as Spanish side has dominated game and has found 6 goals with whole control of the game.

This game without doubt has been seen as chance to prove themselves to maximum against Sevilla and get an important experience at this level of competition. Even through it didnt get even chance to prove themselves at the field, it did get an important experience. It needs to be remembered of strength of Akhisarspor and also having poor season and hence it should be criticised in that sense. Therefore, it is hard to get too much into this game due of differences between side both in experience and squad quality. Akhisarspor so far has gained 0 points and has almost lost chance to get to next stage but as always from other clubs who are not in top 4 in country, Europa League is great chance to get important experience at Europe.

Akhisarspor without doubt would not focus to league aiming to get outside of last place as this season tends to be very dissapointing for them in overall.
