Pendikspor managed to defeat Adana Demirspor 2-1 at home.They are really on the rise with the transfers they made.I can say that they made the transfers in a spot-on way.Especially the contribution of Umut Nayir and Mame Thiam is obvious. Umut Nayir didn't play much when he was at Fenerbahçe and had difficulty scoring goals, but at Pendikspor he managed to score in almost every game.Sometimes we know that some players can't play in big teams, but I feel sorry for Umut Nayir.The importance of Turkish players in big teams has become more important now because these players need to play if success is desired.
Antalyaspor was struggle very good against Fenerbahçe but they couldn't just make it. And Fenerbahçe managed to beat Antalyaspor 2-0. Antalyaspor had many opportunities to score, but their quality was not enough for Fenerbahçe. If Antalyaspor had scored a goal, it would have been difficult for F.Bahçe to score 3 points. Fenerbahçe keep to be at the top of the league.
I have seen our other transfer newly. 
Galatasaray have signed Carlos Vinicius on loan. It is a 6-month transfer though to probably fill the space occurred after Bakambu's departure.
Do you know whether he is good these days? As far as I can see he shined at Benfica in the 2019/20 season by scoring quite many goals. But since then I can't see much impressive stats. It looks like his career started to go down shortly to end up with Fulham. Anyway as long as he is useful in Icardi's absence there isn't any problem for us.
Mentioning Icardi I hope he can also start scoring regularly soon.

Under normal circumstances, today's Beşiktaş - Trabzonspor match would be awaited with great excitement. The matches between these two teams are always competitive, exciting and with lots of goals. But since there was an early break in the league this season, no one watched the matches except the fans of the first two teams. I wish we could watch a fair, competitive league, but some groups deliberately turned the league into this situation. Matches played in a league that no one is watching have no meaning anymore. I don't know what will happen in the match, whatever the betting barons want can happen. After all, everyone, from the federation to the referees, is in the palm of their hands. They can influence the outcome of matches as they wish.
We watched an enjoyable game, both teams fought very well. Fenerbahçe won the game and got the 3 points.
I was expecting Fenerbahçe to lose points tonight but they played really well.
The championship race in the league continues with excitement.

Serge Aurier is a very good player for me, and also he can do a lot in the main plan of play of the Galatasaray, he is really fasta nd strong, and with Galatasaray dominating the 90% of the games they play he can make a very good runs in the right band without so much effort and made good crosses to Icardi for example, and in defense he can return really fast thanks to his speed.
Serge Aurier is a very good transfer. But I think the best signing for Icardi will be Carlos Vinicius. He's a physical and combative striker. Icardi can perform better with him. We had Bakambu before. Bakambu was not a strong striker in duels. He was more of a striker with high technical qualities. But these qualities were not compatible with Icardi. Now with Carlos Vinicius I'm sure Icardi's performance will improve even more. Galatasaray have made very good transfers. I think we are the team most ready for the second half of the season.
Moreover, according to Fabrizio Romano, we have loaned him for a total of 600.000 euros and we will only pay him 600.000 euros for 6 months. In the same transfer window we sold Bakambu to Real Betis for 5 million euros. Thus, we both saved money and enriched our attacking organizations with the right moves. Erdem Timur and his friends are doing great things for Galatasaray. If we become champions this year, they will have a big share in this success.
Fenerbahçe had a hard time away from Antalyaspor, especially in the last minutes.
It surprised me that a team that was going to the championship would panic like this.
If Antalyaspor scored a goal, it would be difficult for Fenerbahçe to score the winning goal.
Bonicci made a free throw from Fenerbahçe's half, Batshuayi received the ball and made a surprise shot (I think the goalkeeper was not expecting this shot) and it was a goal. Fenerbahçe came back from a very difficult away game in Antalya with 3 points and regained the leadership.
There was a very stiff fenerbahce. It was a very high tension match. The match really could have ended in a draw. Fenerbahce has played the last 3 matches very stiff. There is a lack of form in 3 important players up front. Tadic's performance has dropped. No matter how hard szmanski fights, there is a problem in his offence. He makes very wrong choices in attack. Antalyaspor played very well. both tactically and at times physically. Fenerbahce is different this year. Finally can be their lucky year.

Aurier could be decent with the small amount of money they would have to pay, cheap transfers are always great, and he will be of help without a doubt. But they got another striker, after selling Bakambu, instead of getting a left back. The team technically still doesn't have a left back, which makes no sense at all. I understand not having a "good" left back, but they basically have none at this point. They a young kid, but they didn't like him, so they are using a midfielder at left back for two games now.
It is going to be quite interesting to see what they will do about that situation. If they keep this up, I do not think that they will get much from the team. They need to keep improving the team as much as they can, if they want to win the title.

Antalyaspor is fighting very good against Fenerbahçe but they can't just make it. Fenerbahçe midfielders are lot better than Antalyaspor. Antalyaspor can play proper wing football but their central midfield seems very lacking. Passing play is not good. Fenerbahçe is playing very similar football, attacking or defending doesn't make any difference. Antalyaspor may only get points tonight through individual skilled players.

I thought tonight would be a very difficult night for Galatasaray. However, when Galatasaray scored an early, Galatasaray got a comfortable victory tonight. Galatasaray beat Samsunspor 2-0 with goals from Nellson and Barış Alper Yılmaz. Icardi and Mertens made assists tonight. Barış Alper Yılmaz and Kaan Ayhan surprise people every match. They play in every position. So Galatasaray fans call them "Joker".
It was going to be a very tough away game for Galatasaray against Samsunspor, but the goals that GS scored at the beginning of the game let Samsunspor off the guard. Samsunspor looks like a much better team than I expected. When Galatasaray scored 2 goals very early, Samsunspor preferred to close down and gave the ball to their opponent and let them build the game. Samsunspor tried to capitalize on the counter attacks and that's why it looked like they played very badly. However, Samsunspor is a candidate to be one of the good teams in the league.
In terms of overall play, Samsunspor was clearly the superior side. They could have scored two or three goals if their players were more skilled. Galatasaray's lack of fullbacks was noticeable and they found it incredibly difficult to break out of defense. GS survived one of the toughest away matches without losing any points. They got a very critical win on their way to the championship. The best player of the match for me was Muslera.
I agree with your idea. Samsunspor had a very poor performance in the first weeks of the season, but their performance has been very dazzling in the last few weeks. If Samsunspor continues this performance, it can finish the league in a good position. I liked their performance yesterday too. Just their quality was not enough for Galatasaray.

Honestly I really liked Serge Aurier in the past. He was at his peak of his career as a solid right-back back in the day.
However I'm afraid I can't say the same about him these days.
Because he is quite an injury-prone player. This has affected his career development quite badly as a result. I hope he hasn't come to Galatasaray for a lazy kind of performance. After watching a promising player like Boey for a long time it would really be a big disappointment for me in that case.We were nearly going to sign a Boey-like player in fact - Lorenz Assignon. But he ended up with Burnley instead.
We are not used to Galatasaray scoring 2 goals at the beginning of the match. Normally, they would score the first goal and try to improve the situation throughout the match, scoring 2 goals towards the end of the match and winning the match. Last night, we watched Galatasaray score 2 goals in a short time. We are not really used to this, we watched football that surprised us all.
I really like Galatasaray's playing style when they can play like this. Yet they missed many opportunities

Galatasaray topping their league table, Fenerbahçe are behind with just three points difference, neither of them will give up because they know how important is winning the league title. Galatasaray concentrates on making potential signings for the team, for the main purpose of team's growth. Serge Aurier is an important player, he played for elite teams in top leagues and featuring for Galatasaray wouldn't be any difficult position for the player, the only slight challenge he would encounter is his inability to firstly cope with the team's style of play but as time goes on, he will fit in so well. By the looks of it Galatasaray ended up getting Serge Aurier, he used to be an amazing player, very talented physically, he was very fast and quick, and as we all know an agile back is always a good thing to have.
However, he is now 30+ years old, and he hasn't been all that great for a while, he didn't get minutes even at Notthingham Forrest, for a team that is trying to play at Europa, and also trying to win the league, a bench player from Notthingham Forrest doesn't really sound like a smart move, certainly not smart if you consider his age as well because they can't make much out of him for the future. This type of "big name" transfers never really helped any team, you should always look for someone who deserves it, not someone who had a good career.
At the end of the January transfer window, the Turkish side was able to earn for themselves a player with a very good skill set. It was very much expected that the transfer window was going to effect either positive or negative changes in a team and for Galatasaray, it's safe to say that the change was a positive one. Serge Aurier is an experienced EPL player, he's gained a lot of experience from Tottenham before moving to Nottingham Forest and would make a good addition to Galatasaray.However, he is now 30+ years old, and he hasn't been all that great for a while, he didn't get minutes even at Notthingham Forrest, for a team that is trying to play at Europa, and also trying to win the league, a bench player from Notthingham Forrest doesn't really sound like a smart move, certainly not smart if you consider his age as well because they can't make much out of him for the future.

The next few months and years for him with the team will be watched closely to weigh how much he'd perform. They've got greater chance of lifting the trophy too. The team is good, they've got the management and player quality too. Aurier an added advantage would put more fuel to the burning zeal to excel. Let's hope that he's able to blend into the team and league techniques with time as that's kinda what is of essence.
I was expecting a difficult game for Galatasaray, but they finished the game in the first 10 minutes. They could have scored more goals but they didn't.
It was an easy 3 points for us.
There is an Antalyaspor - Fenerbahçe game tomorrow, I think Fenerbahçe will have difficulty in this game. Let's see how it turns out tomorrow.

Galatasaray had already started the match well in the very early minutes with the goal he scored from a corner kick against Samsunspor, with Nelsson's goal. Then, in the progressive attack, five minutes later, Barış Alper Yılmaz scored Galatasaray's second goal. Two goals scored in the 10th minute meant that everything was fine for Galatasaray.
Okan Buruk intended to finish the match 2-0 without taking too much risk, and that's what happened. After the two goals, Sivasspor was already disbanded and they dropped out of the match as the goals were scored early.

I thought we were going to win with plenty of goals after taking the lead right at the beginning of the match, but Okan Buruk preferred a controlled game tactic. I really liked the performance of Kerem Demirbay, Davinson Sanchez and Kerem Aktürkoğlu in this match. If the other players had played as well as them, we could have had a more comfortable win tonight. With this win, we won the league leadership. Fenerbahçe will play away to Antalyaspor tomorrow. If they lose points in that game, we will finish the week as the leader.
