Trabzonspor has effectively used weaknesses of Besiktas. 

Trabzonspor has managed to get very confident win against struggling Besiktas with 4:1 scoreline and has managed to use opportunities from opponent weaknesses and provided strong attacking game. Besiktas on their own half carries providing poor game.

It was clear from start of the game that Trabzonspor was aiming to win an important opponent at home ground without managing to win previous 3 games. Taking account with Besiktas being poor form, Trabzonspor wanted to use its opponent weaknesses to its own advantage and has managed to use it. Without doubt main player of the team has been Jose Sosa who among playing direct role of 1st goal with Dorukhan Tokoz own goal and also great goal of 2nd goal, he has shown strong performance and pushed team forward without providing any feelings of absence of injured players. Without doubt Trabzonspor has provided great game with only negative aspect which could be mentioned regarding them was providing defensive game to its opponent towards end of the game allowing Besiktas to create some chances towards end of the game. Still, Trabzonspor has got great motivation for Basel game at Europa League and domestically.

Besiktas meanwhile has provided very poor performance and didnt manage to show any reaction when scoreline has turned on 3:1 but without doubt it has been too late for side to convert game as opponent had control of the game and them. One of the main strong weaknesses during this game and also in overall during this season it has some serious issues with providing attacking game which led for team to have such poor resulting performance. Besiktas during recent seasons without doubt main strong area which brought them 2 league title with Gunes has been showing positive and attacking game. With Abdullah Avci focussing into more control and patient has led normally for lack of finding goals and hence winning game. This aspect hence has led for fans to be unhappy with this. Besiktas hence needs to go through lots of work as it would be coming against Europa League against Wolves and would need to show much more attacking positive game.

Trabzonspor has got an important motivation for upcoming weeks while Besiktas likely get into more crises which was arleady on and slowly get into position where it could be difficult to solve at.

Galatasaray carry on showing poor performance, with  contuning at derby game.

Galatasaray carries on providing pretty poor performance during this season as it has provided pretty passive game against Fenerbahce during Super League 6th week game as game ended with goalless draw.

It does need to be stated there wasnt expectation prior to game from Galatasaray as it did have poor start of the season but there was expectation that their could improve its performance for this game. As was stated at our blog prior to game, there was high expectation from Radamel Falcao but interestingly he didnt recieve any balls at penalty area which naturally let him not to have any shots. Therefore, even through this could be thrown towards player himself, it was visible that his teammates which could provide with him chances to score has failed to do so during whole game. Galatasaray are showing pretty poor performance and does look to be in pretty form right now and fail to show top level game which would been expected from this squad and would need to work a lot to improve this.

With Galatasaray meeting with PSG at Champions League on 1st October there is lots of worrying aspects at team while French side would come at good condition.

Fenerbahce been better side but it showed too much secure game

When comparing performance of both sides it could be stated that Fenerbahce has shown better performance during game but still it is not enough to win game especially at derby.

When looking at the performance, again with comparing both sides, Fenerbahce did look like more aware what their were doing and their game plan as it has created high amount of the chances. In fact, there were expectations that it might even provide much more attacking game during 2nd half but it started showing more secure game making view that it was satisfied with draw. Stating that Fenerbahce could be felt dissapointed for not winning game as it did get in its hands pretty poor Galatasaray and did lose chance as it wanted to show secure football. It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce defenders has provided satisfying performance during game without allowing Galatasaray at creating many chances but this could due of the factor of opponent not showing too much attacking game.

It needs to be noted that this result still keeps them at the fight for league title which is their aim and could count as extra point.

Derby game didnt provide expected highly attacking performance.

Super League 6th week game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce has been expected to provide high amount of the goals during game but has ended with goalless draw as defenders have shown good performances but it needs to be noted that attackers did lack some chances.

Galatasaray it needs to be noted didnt provide to raise tempo very highly which would be used from home ground side who is playing at home ground with focussing mainly with defence as Fenerbahce has started game with again providing strong performance during game. Galatasaray didnt manage provide strong attacking game without going too much and not being able to help Radamel Falcao with creating chances but it didnt create too much to make Fenerbahce too much worried. An absence of Fatih Terim during game has also affected as it didnt provide motivation to show strong attacking game as team had some issues especially with midfielding. This game does show hence that team has some issues with providing dominating game and it needs to be admitted that team tried not to concede. This factor which we would need to admit needs to go through and find ways to get performance which would bring them for next season.

Fenerbahce since playing away would be satisfied with scoreline but it still needs to be stated that it didnt provide performance which it would been seeking for but still when looking at the general performance has been slightly better side but still it didnt have too much opportunities which it would be seeking for. It does need to be stated however that defenders did provide good performance when game was developing and team tried to provide good strong performance as game has been progressing. Even through it could be argued that Fenerbahce has been more focussed, in fact when Fenerbahce had control of the ball it has been side which looked more clear what it tried to do and had at least plan but it didnt manage to find winning goal. Therefore, Fenerbahce would be felt satisfied with its performance with 1st  half performance but didnt manage to continue its performance. Therefore, looking with how teams performed Fenerbahce would been slighly closer for win but in same it didnt provide enough performance to win game.

Therefore, game didnt provide expected excitement during game but it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce provided better game but didnt do enough to win game while Galatasaray didnt manage to get control of the game at all.

Trabzonspor compare to Besiktas has been more focussed to game during week.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Even through main focus during Super League 6th week game has been naturally been given to the Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, this weekend has included one more derby games (actually two more as there is also Ankara derby) between Trabzonspor and Besiktas.

This game would be played between two sides which are showing performance below what their have aimed for with including Trabzonspor which was expected to have good season compare to recent years but doesnt show such performance mainly due of injuried players. Still, Trabzonspor regardless if it was during good or bad days has always showed good performance against top teams. Without doubt, Trabzonspor would see this game as good opportunity to regain confidence and motivation and would be aiming to show an attacking game. Trabzonspor also compare to Besiktas had an advantage of focussing into game this week while opponent had some internal issues which would be able to more ready and strong.

Trabzonspor hence has some advantages compare Besiktas but as always this games is to close to be called.

Besiktas would be coming to important after week which focussed on Orman.

In other hand, Besiktas has been more focussed into future of its CEO Fikret Orman at this position during this week and even through players has been training without any connection, its difficult not to have their minds about this issue especially with Abdullah Avci.

In fact, during this week as media has been focussed into this CEO story, there was hardly information known how team has prepared to game and possibly this issue would be providing damage to team. With taking this aspect, it needs to be remembered that outcome of this game could have direct impact into aims of whole season and regardless how much its early in season, it could have direct impact into league title aspiration. It needs also to be remembered main focus would be given at team towards Burak Yilmaz who would be playing against his old team and hence might get pressure from opponent fans but he is experienced enough to ignore those fans. This game hence is more psychological to Besiktas and its crucial for team to be focussed into this game,

Besiktas had week where everyone was talking about them but didnt talk about their performance directly, now its crucial for team to focus into field.

Galatasaray would be aiming to provide best game so far this season at derby.

One of the most anticipated games of Turkish football season, also widely known as derby of two continents, between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce has reached to us as game as always promises to provide high amount of tension and action.

Galatasaray would be coming to the game without starting season at the way it has wished for as it gained only 8 points out of possible 15, 2 points less than Fenerbahce. But apart of losing points, Galatasaray does show some worrying image at the field, failing to control ball from start to an end. With also club head coach Terim not being on the side does provide some problematic at controlling game at best manner. But once again, its hard to state favourite prior to derbies and Galatasaray players for sure would be coming out with extra motivation to the game and seeing this one as an opportunity to turn around its poor performance and get confidence and motivation with help of its supporters. One of the main roles would be of course be giving to Radamel Falcao who would be playing role for finding goals which is main aim he was transferred.

Galatasaray surely would be seeking for an important win both against its main rival and also get confidence for rest of the season for sure.

Fenerbahce are more ready to derby.

Fenerbahce without doubt would be coming to Super League 6th week game against its main rival with strong confidence with providing better performance both in recent games against Galatasaray and in this season also.

It is known that Fenerbahce head coach has managed his squad at full concentration for this derby game in training session and has led for players to be highly focussed to game. Team does have some injuries right now especially at defence and also Adil Rami not being enterirely ready for high competitive performance so role of Zanka and Serdar Aziz who is expected to start during game would be having crucial role when game would start. It needs to be stated that when coming to forward their are showing some great performance so therefore there is expectation for Fenerbahce to score during derby game but its important not to concede more which seems to be main issue during derby game. Vedat Muriqi is expected to be fully focussed right now as been saw in training session as with statements and training he shows all focus towards this crucial game. It is important for them to carry on this great understanding between Muriqi and Kruse for sure during game.

With recent performances Fenerbahce are favourites but as been mentioned derbies are hard to predict.

TFF has lifted ban towards Ali Koc.

Meanwhile, with 1 day left until derby game, TFF arbtitratrion committe has announced that Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc 30-day deprivation of rights and 20,000 TL fine has been lifted and Koc could be visiting to Turk Telekom Arena.

Even through Koc has technically can visit to stadium, it became clear that Galatasaray doesnt consider to provide special dinner and seats at the stadium due of statements both clubs had to each other on previous weeks. In other hand, Ali Koc has stated that he would be going to game but would he able to find special seats or would instead be among fans would likely become known tomrorrow. It also needs to be stated that for TFF not providing fine to Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz and lifting ban towards Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc has been mainly done to reduce pressure between both sides which been lifted in recent weeks. It would be also hopeful that both sides would carry on this spirit before, during and after  game.

Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc therefore will be going to game but in what status would become clear prior to kick-off.

Besiktas will have CEO election on 13th October.

Besiktas had awaited external administrative meeting to discuss about club CEO Fikret Orman future at the team and has made decision to run early election of CEO on 13th October, if majority of voters is not gathered it would be moved to 20th October.

However, the most important development which took place at the meeting is that club administrators has agreed to convince for Orman to stay as CEO until election and also run for this election. This statement has been made to the media by club member Deniz Atalay who has included at that some administrators at the team could be changing in the administrative list. It was known that Orman was considering to leave from his position purely from emotional stance due of fan protests given towards him during Super League game against Basaksehirspor but very likely going through situation he has changed his mind and also from pressure from club and also people changed his mind. In here, of course now plays an important role if he wins how his relationship will be with fans who have been for him to resign and might provide some pressure between sides.

It seems to be logical for Orman to change his mind but this events could provide some issues for him which could also affect negatively to team.

Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz didnt recieve any punishment from PFDK

Apart of future of Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman (and to some extend earthquake in Istanbul of 5.8 scale), other main conversation at football community has been if Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz would recieve any fines from PFDK.

PFDK has right decisions not to provide any punishments to Cengiz with statements following Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc directed towards Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim. It needs to be reminded that statement even through has been directly stated and had some direct messages, it didnt provide parts of anti-sportmanship and if analysed was provided in most calm manner. As Cengiz has stated himself this statement has been done in self-defence mode which likely has also been taken into consideration by PFDK. Again, clubs in future need to be careful what their are saying but at same time PFDK needs to be aware of circumstance and language used by them.

PFDK needs to control but needs to do in such manner so it wont recieve more chaos at the future.

Fenerbahce is chance for Falcao to shine.

One of the key players during derby of two continents between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce without doubt would Galatasaray player Radamel Falcao who still didnt fulfill his expectations this season so far.

But this is great chance and opportunity for him to do against Fenerbahce especially taking account that Falcao did score against them during Monaco years in European football. When looking at previous games during this season it could be seen that there is opportunity of him scoring is bit more less, but this is why it could provide extra motivation for him as it would provide confidence push without doubt if he manages to score against his club main rival. It needs to be noted of course that it would not be an easy task at all as Fenerbahce defenders would provide strong defence where understanding of his teammates at front would also be also crucial. Galatasaray key player looks to be Falcao but team play would be crucial during game for sure.

Falcao would be on eye with everyone either playing or watching game but its in hands to fulfill all expectations given to him.

Besiktas administrators want for Fikret Orman to stay as CEO.

Aftermath of announcement by Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman is still providing some shocking effect as it was not known that he would make such announcement and it does look this decision has been made purely due of emotionality.

Besiktas administrator Deniz Atalay during an interview with TRT Spor has stated that here is hugely surprised with such decision by Orman and him being very successful CEO it would not be accepted for him to resign. According to him, and quite understanably there is pressure towards him to change his mind. It is widely believed that with high successes which team went through since 2012 especially in beginning has been big one with also poor economical condition. Building new stadium and making great performances with Senol Gunes are among them, but it needs to be stated since last season poor performances it normal for Besiktas fans to provide such protests. Fikret Orman is likely to go through this decision once again and there is chance he could change mind but it does look unlikely for now.

Besiktas administrators try to make sure that Orman stays at CEO but it does look for now that it could be hard to convince him to stay.

Cuneyt Cakir would referee two continents derby. 

TFF has announced that referee of biggest derby game in country, also known as derby of two continents, between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce will be Cuneyt Cakir which is natural choice since he is being best referee in country.

Cuneyt Cakir with proving himself as best coach in country both in domestical and international duties has been natural choice for this game and with having strongest experience at top games including in this derby is capable to provide top game. Even through Cakir has been criticised several times with his refereeing, especially at home, he tends to be among few referees to be criticised during this season and likely to be least unwanted referee for this game by both games. Due of also some sayings towards each other in recent weeks from clubs CEO and Fatih Terim, it could be expected that it would be high tension game which again Cakir would be suitable to control. It promises to be exciting game as always between two sides, and its crucial for referee to be least discussed and Cakir has difficult task to achieve that though.

Cuneyt Cakir still does look to be choice for such derby game and can provide needed high level performance during game.

Belhanda is expected to start with protective mask against Fenerbahce.

Staying with derby game, it became clear that Galatasaray player Youness Belhanda would be coming out to the game with protective mask as he is not fully recovered from his injury.

It needs to be reminded that Belhanda has got injury into face and didnt play for much of physical aspects but due of precaution and in fact medical staff didnt consider to let him for Fenerbahce game, however with Belhanda insisting to wanting to play and also his condition seems to be in good way, it was decided to start with him game unless their would be some last minute changes with his condition. This willingness for Belhanda being normal as everyone wants to play in this derby game. Only issues which he could recieve is being issue of concentrating, as it is known that this mask does provide some uncomfortability and hence can affect to performance but as been mentioned in those games in whatever outcomes players would provide maximum willingness and concentration.

If Belhanda will start and not being too much affected with mask it would provide strong force to team as his team tend to provide better results with him than without him.

Besiktas are showing poor performance and Orman resignation could make things worser.

Besiktas without doubt carries on providing poor performance during this season as it has drawn this time to Basaksehirspor with providing pretty poor performance as both sides are at poor condition right now for sure.

With coming to the team of Abdullah Avci it needs to be stated that side is very far from level of performance which most Besiktas supporters are being used see to which is providing strong attacking game. With Besiktas head coach main focussing into controlling ball rather than creating chances provides unusual tactics for most players who are not used to this from Senol Gunes and still going into adaptation period. Stating that with resignation of Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman, future of Avci is being big question right now but we would be focussing about below this blog entry. Basaksehirspor which didnt provide good performance either this season has been in fact looked better side during 2nd half trying to control game but couldnt turn those chances into goal only scoring one goal. Meanwhile, referee of game did provide dissapointing performance with his decisions and did affect outcome for not giving penalty at the end of 1st half.

Besiktas needs to find solution and in sense of technicall staff and footballers resignation of Orman would only provide tension to them.


Trabzonspor does need to find ways with providing best performance right now with current players.

Trabzonspor it needs to be stated has provided pretty poor performance during Super League 5th week game against Sivasspor failing to provide any top performance after scoring on 3rd minute.

Trabzonspor apart of having injures of important players does seem also to move backwards in sense of performances as it lost tempo which it has shown in the start of the season dropping into lowest without doubt against Sivasspor. With Sivasspor creating chances back to back and not being affected from conceding goal in start of the game has provided strong focus to game and won game in well deserved manner. Trabzonspor as been mentioned during out yesterday blog entry does need to find solutions at how to provide top level performance with so many injuries as so far it fails to do by mile. Therefore, without doubt team head coach Unal Karaman has difficult task at its hand but he does need to find ways at finding best performance from his team for upcoming games especially against Besiktas next week.

Trabzonspor are going through difficult period as team and does need to find ways at showing best performance and best way to do so is to improve performance with current squad.

Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman has resigned from his position.

Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman has made surprising statement during press conference stating that he would be resigning from his position following draw to Basaksehirspor during 5th week game

It was known from last season team supporters has shown high amount of protest to the player due of low performance and also internal issues for instance with Senol Gunes future at the team. Taking account poor performance during this season, it became clear that days for Fikret Orman. During today's statement he made it clear that even through he is not tired from this role, he has been fed up from such pressure for him to leave coming from outside forces. It needs to be noted that Fikret Orman had done good job with this position in 1st 2 years moving team ahead financially and making strong team but during recent season he has moved team into backwards direction and hence needed to leave his position. Tomorrow it is expected to be made official statement with external meeting of administrators where it is expected that Serdar Adali and Tefik Yamanturk has resigned from his position would be taking position until CEO election.

Meanwhile, first CEO candidate has come from Hurser Tekinoktay who also run for position in previous CEO election as future CEO will take club with difficult financial condition.

Both Besiktas and Basaksehirspor carry on providing poor performance.

Turkish Super League 5th week game between Besiktas and Basaksehirspor has been ended with 1:1 scoreline and hence made it clear that both sides are carry on having poor season as their continued to show poor game.

Looking at way how this game has been developing between two sides it would be hard to state that this two clubs has ended at 2nd and 3rd spots during previous season. Besiktas on their own half has failed to raise tempo which it was used to show at last season games at home ground. It needs to be stated and expected that style which is been playing by head coach Abdullah Avci is not being accepted at all by its fans and this has been become clear a lot with high amount of protests especially towards administration of team. Positive aspect of the game has been goal scored by Burak Yilmaz from penalty which would provide lots of motivation to the player without doubt, but it was clear that player is very far from top performance which would been expected from main attacker of the side. Lastly, but probably most important observation of game has been is referee Suat Arslanboga who made high amount of mistakes during game.

Basaksehirspor is also carries on showing poor performance but it needs to be stated that it has shown better performance compare to opponent especially during 2nd half and has been side which has lost 2 points.

Besiktas and its head coach Abdullah Avci carries on providing poor performance and losing points and didnt show that reaction which would be expected from team which needed win today.

Trabzonspor once again had been affected from absences

Trabzonspor are among top teams at Super League who also are showing poor performances right now and despite of showing good game and fighting spirit against currently in-form Sivasspor it has lost game with 2:1 scoreline.

Without doubt Sivasspor, are among teams in the start of the season who are showing good performance and above its usual performance, so it was expected to be hard game. An early goal scored by Avidjaj, has provided some hope for rest of the game but it wasnt able to show an reaction to Sivasspor who has managed to stay focussed to the team. Sadly, absences from injuries once again has affected for team performance especially at front as it has created many chances many chances. It needs to be noted that team has also mistakes at defence which tends to be an issue with all big clubs right now. As been mentioned, beforehand it could be confidently stated that right now Trabzonspor does have an issue with injured players and since it cant speed up recovery process so it needs to make sure its replacements are capable to show top game in upcoming games.

Sivasspor meanwhile has shown great atittute to the game without giving up after conceding goal as early as on 3rd minute and has stayed focussed to the team scoring 2 goals including at last minute and this win would provide important motivation for upcoming weeks.

Trabzonspor does show good performances but does have issue with converting chances and does need to find ways to improve of players which replace injured ones

Galatasaray rotation move has cost them 2 points.

Galatasaray carries on losing points during this season despite of still being seen by most people as main candidate for league title as it has drawn against Yeni Malatyaspor with 1:1 scoreline conceding at the last minute of the game.

Galatasaray has decided to go into rotation following difficult games during last week and also upcoming games with Fenerbahce and PSG, with especially only allowing Radamel Falcao to come out to the game in last minutes. Thing with rotation is that its being effective and tactical decision when things are going well for team, but this game has been very important due of loss of points and not coming out with its best squad did lead into losing to opponent which it has difficulty getting win in their home ground. Issue here is not only with seeing Yeni Malatyaspor below levels of upcoming opponents but also not aware into condition its on early stage of the league with being behind 5 points right now against Alanyaspor. Main positive aspect of game has been though good performance of Florine Andone who has controlled game getting into getting chances and showing positive attitude at not falling at position which could lead to penalty kick looking instead for goal.

Galatasaray are not at great form and physically with referring to previous games this season, its not ready for derby this game but it does have strong advantage at playing home.

Galatasaray still has issue at finding high tempo for the game. 

Galatasaray had lost an opportunity to get its 1st win against Yeni Malatyaspor as it has conceded goal at the last minute as game has been ended with 1:1 scoreline and would go to next game to derby without getting motivation.

It needs to be stated that Galatasaray didnt still provide level of performance which fans and followers would be expecting from this side, but it did get high amount of the chances and after 1:0 scoreline it has found high amount of the chances. It has been visible once again that Galatasaray for different reasons are unable to provide performance which would been expected from them and it has pretty clear during today's game. With losing so much points, there is guestions how much team is ready for derby game next week. Returning to game, Galatasaray does have some crucial issues with providing good performance at away especially with Yeni Malatyaspor including with also not able to solve set pieces as it has conceded goal from freekick on 89th minute. Meanwhile, Florin Andone even through didnt convert some good chances did show good performance and positive signs for upcoming weeks.

Yeni Malatyaspor needs to be mentioned has provided good focus towards Galatasaray in its game with occassionally controlling ball without getting too much relaxed as game developed.

Galatasaray did get into high number of good chances during this game but still did have an issue of
providing high tempo game which would been expected from them and provides some worries prior to Fenerbahce derby.

Fenerbahce managed to win Ankaragucu.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Ankaragucu during Super League 5th week game with 2:1 scoreline as game ended up being more difficult than was expected for most people.

It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce has been observed at providing tempo at highest level which was seen with team during 1st weeks of this season and it was observed that it carries on making some mistakes at defence side. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that this blog still does consider that Adil Rami would be big help to this team, but physically he is not at great condition which was observed pretty clearly during this game as he was observed pretty slow and was main anti-hero during conceding goal from Orgill. It does need to be noted however that forward part of the field, starting from Emre Belozoglu, does show good performance with Max Kruse showing that he is great assist as he has played an important part with goals scored by. Therefore, Fenerbahce did get an important motivation prior to Galatasaray game and will look forward to it.

Fenerbahce does have issues at the back but there is in all aspects that this team would improve but it does need to give attention to unforced mistakes in back.

Besiktas and Basaksehirspor would play very important game.

Without doubt, Turkish Super League 5th week game between Besiktas and Basaksehirspor would be game between two sides which have shown good performance last season but pretty close from this level in this season.

Besiktas without doubt is showing way being of their expectations as been stated its new head coach Abdullah Avci, playing also against his ex-team is failing to provide performance either for poor tactics or players unable to provide what he asks from them. Without doubt, Besiktas so as
Basaksehirspor would be treating this game as an opportunity to turn around its fate due of providing poor performance so far during this season. Basaksehirspor who also some issues among them including change of the coach also does have crucial issues into getting into the level which would be expected from them and will like to get positive result at this game. Therefore, if both sides want to be at title race it would need to win game or otherwise their would have difficult catch up work to do.

Due of importance of this game it would be reasonably to expect closed and nervous game as it does have lots at stake.

Fenerbahce has got an important win at game which turned out more difficult than expected.

Fenerbahce has managed to beat Ankaragucu during Super League 5th week game what turned out to be much more difficult game which it was expecting especially taking account that it provided some mistakes in defence.

As been mentioned, game turned out to be much more difficult than it was expecting but Fenerbahce has made game difficult to themselves especially with simple conceding goal from Orgill. It might be looked strange that game which Fenerbahce has won in deserved manner in good performance would be started with negatives but it needs to be stated that defence does show some worrying images. Still, Fenerbahce did show strong attitute of aiming to turn around game and most important players were showing fighting spirit which is very good image and played role for such comeback and also would have positive impact for rest of the season for sure. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce player Emre Belozoglu, veteran of Turkish football, once again such quality game as he entered to the field, team has shown an impressive comeback and as player both in sense of performance and also motivating players has strongly pushed team ahead. This result without doubt has pushed motivation and confidence up prior to Galatasaray derby next week.

Meanwhile, it needs to be admitted that Ankaragucu has shown its best performance which it could due of its current situation, and despite of losing game did show some positive signs for upcoming games.

Fenerbahce has got good result with attackers showing some good performance but its defenders still provide some worrying image at the back but still showing attitude with turning around game.

Galatasaray are expected to have tough time against Yeni Malatyaspor

Galatasaray would be returning to Super League tough away games as it would be meeting with Yeni Malatyaspor during 5th week and it would find thats its case from last season game.

Taking account that Galatasaray did start season in pretty poor way during this season both domestically and in Europe compare to its opponent it would be having tough game. It needs to be stated without trouble that when coming to squad quality, Galatasaray is much ahead of its opponent but it does have an issue of adaptation right now which would have some negative outcomes this season. Meanwhile, Galatasaray does show its poor performance at away game for long time. In other words, it does look like Galatasaray will have some difficut time despite of fact that on paper it does look to be favourite. By the way all of this aspects which been mentioned would likely to provide additional motivation to Yeni Malatyaspor and it would be aiming to show good and strong performance against Galatasaray.

Therefore, regardless how much Galatasaray are favourites, Yeni Malatyaspor getting point/s during this game will not be seen as huge surprise for them.

Besiktas player Victor Ruiz will not be able for 1 month.

Besiktas defender Victor Ruiz has become injured during Europa League game against Slovan Bratislava for 1 month which would be meaning that team will not be to use its main defender during this period.

With Besiktas failing to provide very strong performance right now both in attack and defensively this absence of Victor Ruiz would be having some negative aspects. It needs to be noted that Ruiz in addition was slowly getting more adapted and shown an improvement of performance by each game, therefore this injury would be also bad time for player for also as it might push him back both mentally and physically when come back. Meanwhile,  head coach Abdullah Avci who is mainly focussed into defensive performances would be needed to find solutions for Sivasspor and upcoming games of absent. With team looking for best performance which it behind, it needs to do some changes at defence areas.

With Ruiz showing improving performances each game and team looking for best game this injury will be untimely and game needs to find solution for this situation right now with least amount of damage.

Besiktas urgently needs to find solution for such poor performance.

Besiktas has started its Europa League with dissapointing result as it has lost to Slovan Bratislava with 4:2 scoreline due of providing poor performance both in attack and simple mistakes at defence.

Besiktas poor performance at domestic league has also been affected to Europe, as Slovan Bratislava even through in deserved manner has got historical win as even through it looked to be more moderate side, it has used its chances which it has got and managed to score 4 goals against Besiktas. As been mentioned at our entry yesterday it does look like Abdullah Avci fails to provide its tactical demands to its player. If issue is with player than it would need to be given some time to solve this issues but if issue with tactics then Avci days would be over soon. In either case, Besiktas does look to be continuing losing points at both competitions and would have difficult season for sure. With taking account that group also includes Wolves and Braga, Besiktas would have difficult task at getting from this group and needs to go through from mistakes its done in recent week and urgently find solutions to this performance.

Besiktas didnt provide satisfying performance at all during this game and needs to find ways how to get results at top level.

Trabzonspor needs to find ways to play with its absences.

Trabzonspor has been among teams which has also lost during Europa League games without able to
get an attacking game at all against Getafe and only lost with 1:0 scoreline thanks to goalkeeper.

Trabzonspor unlikely for them carries on having high amount of injuries which negatively affects to team performance and hence is not able to provide its high level performance which it has shown at qualifiers. It has failed to create much chances during game and did look pretty disoriented team with Ugurcan Cakir being key player with saving high amount of chances and having high amount of saves possibly could be key reason for team to get to knockout stages possibly. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor right now with having high amount of injuries needs to find ways how to get maximum level of performance with so high number of absences for sure. Otherwise, it would carry on losing points both domestically and in Europe.

Trabzonspor are also performing below their level due of injuries so as said it needs to find ways to solve this issue soon as it can.

Basaksehirspor sadly are not expected to have good season.

Basaksehirspor did come out in normal circumstances to Roma as underdog and taking account it is not in level it was during recent years its normal for Italian side to win with 4:0 scoreline.

It could be seen as big achievement that Basaksehirspor didnt score goal until 42nd minute but it needs to noted that Roma has provided passive moment and with Basaksehirspor having control of ball didnt do much with it. At the moment, when Roma when decided to show its level performance on 2nd half it has got upper hand of the game and won game purely due of quality which it has. This game was always difficult for Basaksehirspor to win especiallly with its level during this season and its just need to get this game as experience. It would be wise for team to provide more focus into league than to Europa League. Okan Buruk does have difficult task and with lack of experience, it would be wise to reduce its task for this reason as Buruk would get used to this team and aims.

Basaksehirspor would have difficult season at Europa League and sadly expectations are pretty low for them during this season for sure.

Besiktas has got dissapointing result against Slovan Bratislava

Besikas had lost its opening game at group stage of the Europa League against weakest link at the group Slovan Bratislava with losing game with 4:2 scoreline, conceding 2 goals at last 2 minutes of the game which has led team to lose game.

Looking at the performance and also statiscally it could been argued that Besiktas has been closer to win game as it has controlled ball from start to the end and had in total of 14 corners. But Besiktas carries on providing poor performance in this season and had trouble at converting high amount of the chances. It needs to be noted also that Besiktas start making simple mistakes at the game allowing Slovan Bratislava at getting chances as it has managed to score 3 goals in that manner. It does look like that Besiktas head coach does have some technical plan but either that plan doesnt work properly for Besiktas or players are not ready for this tactics. With season slowly getting into point where it needs to get wins, it is crucial for Besiktas to start getting wins or otherwise it would lose its opportunity to get league title and also difficulties for Abdullah Avci to stay as head coach.

Slovan Bratislava who has been seen as underground for this game has been stayed in all concentration with converting chances and has converted chances and has got advantage for rest campaign.

Besiktas it needs to be stated is providing very poor performance with its new head coach and urgently needs to find solutions for this or it would be have very problematic season for sure.

Trabzonspor didnt show performance which was expected from them against Getafe. 

Trabzonspor had started its Europa League group stage with loss against Spanish side Getafe with failing to get an upper hand of the game as it didnt show much attacking positions and has been lucky to lose only with 1:0 scoreline.

It was expected that Trabzonspor could have difficult time during this game as it did have number of absences due of the injuries however side could provide some chances and possibly get at least win against Getafe. Trabzonspor didnt manage into providing an attacking chances and couldnt raise its tempo but more importantly Trabzonspor has continued with providing poor peformance as Getafe has been one which was controlling and creating chances during game. It does need to be stated that once again Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir. This game performance does show that team are failing to provide strong game and are pretty at performance which it has shown at the start of the season. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that Alexander Sorloth who have started this season with scoring at goal at each game as he couldnt convert high amount of the chances. Trabzonspor hence needs to take this game as lesson and look at ways to get into high level performance which it has shown earlier this season.

Getafe therefore has started Europa League campaign which it didnt compete for long time, did provide good performance providing strong chances and could have with even better scoreline and hence does provide a view that it can provide top performance at group.

Trabzonspor does need to improve with its performance as it didnt control manage to control game and should take this game for improvement for rest of the group stage.

Roma has won purely with quality against Basaksehirspor .

To all respect to Basaksehirspor, it was expected that Roma was coming out as strong favourites to the game with squad and experience and it has shown that with 4:0 scoreline especially during 2nd half.

It needs to be noted that Basaksehirspor did  provide some good performance during 1st half and did provide some reasonably performance but it does need to be noted that Roma has allowed to opponents with either cautious game. It needs to be stated that Basaksehirspor has got into high amount of the chances and did provide some pressure. But when 1st goal came from own goal from Caicara on 42nd minute and also during 2nd half Roma did provide that it much better side than Basaksehirspor and has got well-deserved win. This in all fairness should be treated as normal outcome with also taking account that Basaksehirspor how it plays during this season it was difficult for them to show top performance and this was good experience for them and find solution for scoring low amount of goals as it need to start finding goals both domestically and in Europe.

Roma did come out as favourite at game and group and has shown in 2nd half with winning game purely for performance and likely to dominate league without much issue.

Basaksehirspor are showing poor performance not only today but generally this season and sadly for them looks like it would have difficult season for at least in upcoming games.
