Galatasaray showed strong confident collective game against Sivasspor
Galatasaray has got very important win during Super League 8th week game against one of the most tough away games against Sivasspor with getting 3 wins back-to-back in the week where sides above them lost points.
Among getting such important win, it also provided one of the strong performances especially until scoreline getting to 2:1 providing some similarities when comparing to start of the season with most players showing strong collective performance. Without doubt, one of the key players during game has been Arda Turan who with coming out in 2nd half among scoring goal for first time for his club in 9 years did also provide his best game since returning to club, possibly being selected as captain for this game. Another player who did show good game has been goalkeeper Orkun Kocuk who even through did concede difficult goal, did show pretty stable performance with saving high number of the important position of the opponent. Without doubt, this win did put themselves back on top of the league race with getting closer to Fenerbahce and Alanyaspor, latter one having game on hand. Galatasaray does provide good view once again but it needs to show this game in regular time in such tough season.
Sivasspor meanwhile could be stated did show good game still taking again it did play Europa League game on 5th November which been tough one, but penalty which wasnt converted did have direct turning point especially with getting ahead on 1st half.
Galatasaray would be entering to national team at good mood without doubt but still need to work on some areas in this break both tactically and physically for sure.
Fenerbahce didnt provide good collective game against Konyaspor.
Fenerbahce has lost its first game during this season to Konyaspor with 2:0 scoreline where opponent did provide much more strong preparedness to game with strong organising game to which Istanbul side failed to respond.
It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce in similar manner as on previous games did provide similar tactical game focussing into set pieces positions but without doubt side providing similar game led for Konyaspor to get prepared for the game and hence side where ready to everything which Istanbul side has given to them. Since they didnt have any alternative plan and also to be frankly didnt execute its initial plan in very good manner has led to control ball for most amount of time but didnt provide too much dangerous opportunities. Stating there was questionable disallowed goal due of hand ball but it needs to be noted that this position does look to be decided wrong as ball didnt touch it. Stating that it needs to be admitted that even if that goal been counted, Fenerbahce would not be able to win it easily. Therefore, collectively Fenerbahce been in poor form and would need to get lessons from this fixture.
Therefore, Fenerbahce most importantly needs to work on finding ways apart from set pieces if it doesnt want to see prepared defence against them in upcoming games.
Trabzonspor has shown some potential for rest of the season against Alanyaspor
Trabzonspor despite of drawing against Alanyaspor when it needed to win game during their conditions so far in season, there were lots of positives taking from game with controlling game for most amount and preventing most form side to create lots of chances.
With Eddie Newton been sacked and club coming out to game against one of the strongest teams in league without head coach could providing lots of issues to Trabzonspor, but there did provide good reaction and focus without doubt did provide such good game with both with attitude and confidence has been observed to be much higher with players possibly seeing this to be new beginning. Without doubt, Abdullah Avci who made principal deal with club would be satisfied how players were focussed to this game and would be aiming with solving issues which still existed against Alanyaspor but did some signs where side could provide strong performance in upcoming weeks. However, apart of all positive aspect Avci would still need to work on during this national team break for sure with rising motivation of players and tactics.
It needs to be noted Trabzonspor provided one of good games during this season against Alanyaspor but still its not on level to fight for title.
