Fenerbahce is at biggest crises it ever experienced in its history.
Fenerbahce has been dropped to its lowest position in its history as it finds itself at the relegation zone after losing to Akhisarspor with 3:0 scoreline and also has saved its opponents from getting to that place instead of them.
Without doubt, issues which are happening inside Fenerbahce are not going well as team is not capable to be organised in great manner both at administrative and also technical aspects as it was clear that apart of some first minutes of the game, Fenerbahce didnt have much formation and plans during its play which hence led Akhisarspor to get a comfortable win especially after side has realised that this Fenerbahce can be beaten. With 2 weeks left until end of the 1st half of the season, Fenerbahce has lost all of the hopes arleady for league title and gets further from even Europa League aims but even dramatic it can even enter to mid-season at last place. Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc decision to cancel flight of its players from Akhisar to Istanbul and asking them to travel by bus has been made emotionally but could provide even much issues as players, who did come out with an aim to play game, been in their view wrongly punished and it could raise some tension in upcoming weeks.
Right now the best solution of the issue by some seems to be firing Erwin Koeman and bringing new head coach, with Ersun Yanal being on the top of the list, but it doesnt look like this issue would be even solved with head coach as Fenerbahce would have very difficult season.
Galatasaray should provide all focus right now to Porto game.
With Galatasaray losing its chance to get to the Champions League knockout stage, it is still favourite to get to the Europa League knockout stage as it only needs draw against Porto during last game at the group stage.
Galatasaray does have an advantage of Porto securing leadership of the group and would be coming out to the game in Istanbul without much aims so Galatasaray if would be rightly focussed to the game should be able to get its target. It needs to be admitted that Galatasaray didnt have great season so far both domestically and at Champions League taking account that this group did provide some important chances to go forward. But Galatasaray needs to forget of its recent results, including draw against Rizespor, and provide full focus to get result which it seeking from Porto game as Lokomotiv Moscow would be also favourite to get a win against Schalke 04. What is important also here is how Porto would be approaching to game, as it could be aiming to end group stage with a win and this could provide some problems from Galatasaray perspective even through in other hand Schalke 04 might provide same attitute to Lokomotiv Moscow in which case Galatasaray might not even need to get point from Porto.
Galatasaray needs to set its aim for Europa League football after New Year and hence should only come out to Porto game with an aim to win game.
Goztepe has appointed Kemal Ozdes for 2.5 years.
Goztepe has announced its head coach to be Kemal Ozdes as sides has made 2.5 year contract as club has accepted resignation from Bayram Bektas on previous day as Ozdes has all chances to move team forward.
Even through it could be argued if Kasimpasa would be providing same performance as it does right now, it still needs to be agreed that for Kasimpasa at having such good season has been thankful for Kemal Ozdes performance in start of the season. Therefore, with taking account of coaches which are available in Turkey and also quality and aims of Goztepe, this could be right decision for them as he is capable at moving team forward in upcoming games. Bayram Bektas in other hand did start season in good way but afterwards their have followed league with some poor results which led Bektas to resign as he believed he does provide some damage. Goztepe does have good squad which can fight for Europa League spots this season and Kemal Ozdes as coach can help team to reach that level.
Kemal Ozdes would now aim to get as much points as possible in last 2 games until mid-season break and work intensily with team during that break.
