What happened in Turkish football today? 24/12/2018


Fenerbahce still provided poor performance with drawing this time against Antalyaspor. 

Fenerbahce has ended its 1st half of the season with a draw against Antalyaspor with providing very ineffective game and players failing to provide any attacking effective game with them being lucky for Antalyaspor not providing much attacking game themselves.

With Fenerbahce ending 1st half at the relegation zone and failing to provide any game which was provided by the vision of its head coach Ersun Yanal for brighter future and has been very far from performance which it has shown last week at the start of the Erzurumspor and to some extend during Giresunspor game. Coming out to an important game, with an opponent who has also their aims but on top half of the table, it didnt respond in any way and has been seen to be lacking self-belief which it needs to be sort out without doubt during mid-season transfer window. With Fenerbahce providing very poor performance, it is clear that club would have very difficult period during mid-season as it would be aiming to improve game wise and also provide motivation of the players. In addition, without doubt Fenerbahce would need to make crucial transfers to improve with its performance at the league and Europa League, but it wont be an easy period for Fenerbahce to make good transfers due of their conditions both in table and economy.

Antalyaspor also didnt provide very effective game which could be mainly connected to the factor that it was coming with high amount of absent players and hence couldnt provide good performance. Antalyaspor could have shown much more effective game if it had some players available. Still it showed good performance during 1st half of the season in overall.

Fenerbahce has ended 1st half of the season with poor performance and would now need to improve a lot for 2nd half of the season with some drastic factors if it wants to stay at the league and up at table.

Galatasaray has provided positive and promising football against Sivasspor.

Galatasaray has managed to end 1st half of the season at high note with beating Sivasspor with 4:2 scoreline with providing much more better attacking game compare to previous game. With such result, it currently finds itself 6 points behind league leaders Basaksehirspor and provides some positive view for 2nd half of the season.

As number of the players has ended their bans and have recovered from injuries, Galatasaray has been able to come out with almost its ideal squad to the game and with that has improved its performance at the game against Sivasspor. It needs to be admitted that number of the players has shown some positive performance especially Sophie Feghouli, Younes Belhanda, Eren Derdiyok and especially Henri Onyekuru showing one of the rare performance which could be one which were waited by Galatasaray supporters. Only issue which was observedd during game has been some poor performance of the defenders which has led Sivasspor to create some of the hcances and also finding 2 goals with high-class performance of the Robinho. Still, Galatasaray needs to do many things to get this season league title with foremost focussing into transferring quality defender and attacker to the team during mid-season transfer window as this squad sadly for them is not enough for domestic and Europa League.

Still, Galatasaray will be going to mid-season break with high motivation and confidence which could be good for them at restarting season at 2nd half of January.

Trabzonspor carries on showing great attacking game.

With beating Rizespor with confident scoreline of 4:1 at the last week of 1st half of the Super League.Trabzonspor has shown once again why their should be considered among main title contenders after mid-season break.

Coming to the game, it could be argued that Trabzonspor didnt show an incredible game as possession has been 50 to 50%, but teams attackers including memorable performance of Abdulkadir Omur, finding his 1st 2 goals of the season, does provide view that team is currently showing an attacking game always looking for chances. After losing to Yeni Malatyaspor some weeks ago, Trabzonspor has changed into 180 degrees with providing positive game always seeking to get chances and find goals and this motivation and confidence does keep team forward as arguably their showing one of the best performance in recent weeks. Without doubt, 1st game at 2nd half of the season against Basaksehirspor will not be among important games for both sides, but would be also crucial for whole season, and Trabzonspor would be aiming to have great mid-season break with coming out much stronger when season restarts.

Trabzonspor would be among team which would enter to 2019 at good mood but still would aim to improve for 2nd half without doubt and keep its confidence high.
