What happened in Turkish football today? 28/10/2018


Fenerbahce carries on providing worst performance in its history. 

Fenerbahce has once again provided very dissapointing and poor performance during Super League 10th week game against Ankaragucu and didnt manage to win for 5 games right now with side still showing poor game with lack of showing dominance at home ground.

In fact, Fenerbahce has been expected to provide good performance after it has drawn against Anderlecht at Europa League 3rd week game with 2:2 scoreline by using to 2:0 scoreline in sense of confidence and also get even more confidence for next week derby game against Galatasaray. Even through for 1st half it has shown controllable game and being willing to create chances its still showed lack at converting them with their attacks and has continued showing some stressful performance with last touches. This performance in overall does show that team internally in technical aspects is going backwards by each game, as it carries on conceding goals not in level which would be expected from them. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce player Islam Slimani sadly has mainly showing his energy into criticising decisions and complaining generally, which did cost him red card, rather than focus his energy into creating chances. Even through this blog has been stating that Phillip Cocu should be given time at the team, it does come to the point, as we getting to 1/3 of the season, would find itself into relegation zone.

Ankaragucu meanwhile has got its 1st win at Fenerbahce stadium since 2009, and has shown great performance with their performance has been team which wanted to win more and has provided very organised game not letting Fenerbahce to get into game especially in 2nd half.Ankaragucu with this result raises to 5th place meanwhile.

Fenerbahce carries on providing performance of their worst performance as team has only gained 9 points with 30 possibilities so far and despite of some signs during Anderlecht team doesnt show any improvements and optimistic signs for Galatasaray and other games coming up this season.

Galatasaray has lost to Yeni Malatyaspor as side being affected from injuries.

Galatasaray has continued providing poor performance during away game against Yeni Malatyaspor during Super League 10th week game and carries on showing dissapointing performances at away games among losing 4 points in last 2 weeks.

It was expected that Galatasaray could have some trouble during Yeni Malatyaspor as it was missing number of main players at its squad such as Feghouli, Nagatomo, Eren Derdiyok and also other key players. In fact, during 1st half another starting 11 player Youness Belhanda has recieved an injury and even through it is unclear how serious is his injury, he couldnt complete game which has affected certainly to the outcome. This game meanwhile, among Bursaspor and Schalke 04, that Galatasaray does have trouble with alternative squad and regardless how much Fatih Terim prepares for the games, this is maximum performance side can provide with such squad. With taking account those perspectives and also side has serious issues during away games which has been continued from last season, Istanbul side has lost an important game and has lost leadership to Basaksehirspor at the end of this week. Meanwhile, it was also dissapointing to see Ozan Kabak being again responsible for penalty as it is been 3rd penalty which he was responsible during this season.

On other hand, Yeni Malatyaspor did provide good performance and it was clear that the side has study strong and weak points of Galatasaray and has been used to the maximum with using an advantage of having absent players which led them to win game.

Galatasaray has carried on providing poor performance and being highly affected from injuries and would be expecting that high amount of players would be recovered from injury against Fenerbahce on 2nd November.

Draw between Antalyaspor and Trabzonspor is not bad news for both sides, but win could been better. 

Crucial game between Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor, which was an important game for both sides to climb into top spots at the league, has been ended with 1:1 draw where both sides has played mainly careful game which ended it being not with fast tempo.

Even through both sides wanted to win game which could be seen from number of the chances which Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor has been created during game, the factor that loss would also affect negatively has provided strong affect into defence. Trabzonspor it needs to be stated did improve with its performance during last week against Erzurumspor but still was pretty far away from some games where it has shown good performance during this season and did lack its chances. Meanwhile, today's game has also been highly discussed about penalty position at the last minute of the game, which Trabzonspor did state that referee made mistake of not seeing it and has demanded explanation why it wasnt send to VAR. Sadly, VAR has been discussed in another game actively, this time why it did do its role which it has been promised to solve. Trabzonspor does seem to have an issue after national team break as it tends to improve by each game and get to highest point of performance just prior to another break.

This draw to some extend could satisfy both Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor in sense that loss could lead to much difficult position, but especially Antalyaspor could see that it has lost 2 points at the end of the game.
