Foreign VAR refereeing, which will be applied first in the matches of big teams, will be spread to other competitions in the coming weeks. With the VAR team coming from abroad, some discussions in the league may end or maybe there will be no difference. It would be good for foreign referees to take part in the matches, such changes need to be tried for the league to get better and get better. For the Super League to return to its old times.

After the 20th week in the Super League, VAR referees will be foreign. I think most of the problems in VAR will be solved with foreign referees.
I hope all referees will be foreign as soon as possible and we can watch much higher quality matches in the league.
After the foreign referees, let's see if there will still be objections and what will be the consequences for the two big teams.

Critising Jose Mourinho because of the position of Fenerbahce now is not fair. This is his first season in the Turkish League, and he needs some time to understand the pattern, politics and organisation of the club and the League at large. Fenerbahce fans might have expected him to lift the club to greater heights but from my perspective, he is not doing badly. The club is second on the table and still a competitor in the Europa League. The special one needs more time and support to replicate his past success in Fenerbahce. The league title is still open, his side could still win it if they put in some extraordinary effort.

Few months back many were saying arrival of José Mourinho is the biggest success for Fenerbahçe, but now we have too much criticism for him due to many problems which are Fenerbahçe facing with their performance is also going down and in last season we have them in good position for title race, but now their difference is increasing, and their performance level is going down which is not acceptable for their fans.

Even though I feel he needs time to understand conditions here in this league, and he could be give his best but sadly this all needs good patience which is not available right now his selection of players is also not as needed, but things could be improved, and we will have better performance from them in coming matches.

Well Fenerbahce Doesn’t Play on the level as they have to, but they won a really important game against the team that is really bad. We know that Mourinho dosent play beautiful football and a team like Fenerbahce isnt for him. Galatasaray already has a big lead and in this league when there is a big advantage its unreachable. Fenerbahce just needs to be on a much better level then it is currently if they want to try and win the title.

I agree about this even I have strong feeling with the current level of performance we have no competition for the Galatasaray because there were some hope about Fenerbahçe will create some challenges, but their performance is not as par we have in last season which is surely big concern for José Mourinho he needs to understand ground reality here not only Galatasaray is their rival they also have few other teams which can bring problems for them now difference of points is almost 8.

As media reports are coming Galatasaray is close to sign PSG defender Milan Skriniar this could be good success for them because they were facing problems and his arrival will give them boost for their remain season Galatasaray is now surely preparing themselves for big stage in coming season because this could be good for them to have an eye on future competitions as well.

Fenerbahçe cannot be Galatasaray's rival if they keep playing like this. Fenerbahçe's game is not satisfying anyone.
It was a very easy game to make amends with the fans but they couldn't take advantage of it.
Mourinho only has Galatasaray on his mind. He needs to look at his own game first, but he doesn't really care because the Fenerbahçe management gave him the excuse.

The first news that came out about this issue is that Anderson Talisca will come to Fenerbahçe. His transfer to Fenerbahçe is probably almost certain. However, this is not the only problem for Fenerbahçe. They are having a lot of trouble especially in the center back area. Samet Akaydın seemed like a very bad alternative both in European and local matches. When one of their main players got injured, they could not get the same efficiency from the substitutes. I think this is the biggest source of problems for Fenerbahçe. They should pay attention to the defense area.

We won against Hatayspor but I watched the match really nervously.    Our football still isn't at a satisfying level and we still can't do anything about it. We shouldn't be wasting this many goal opportunities in a match. It will be more difficult to close the gap with Galatasaray in this way. I relate it to the management's not keeping their words about this season. They said there would be more stars coming to the team but we couldn't see those transfers.

In January I believe we should consolidate our squad more. Our rival in the title race has a better squad than us. Otherwise we would just make things easier for them.

They are playing really bad compared to their arch rivals Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe fans are not happy with the way Fenerbahçe is playing. They are also criticizing Jose Mourinho for his squad selection. Mourinho is especially criticized for his wingers. The Portuguese manager is truly a brand with his incredible career. While his presence at Fenerbahçe is a chance for Fenerbahçe, making the transfers he wants and trying to become champions are the primary steps that Fenerbahçe management should take, in my opinion.

35-year-old experienced goalkeeper Mert Günok's contract expires at the end of the season. Beşiktaş will sign him to a new 2-year contract. Mert recently said that he wanted to play until he was 40. We also know that he is happy at Beşiktaş. It is an advantage to have a Turkish goalkeeper in the Super League. The foreign limit is not a problem anymore, but a Turkish goalkeeper always has an advantage in terms of good communication and ownership of the team. Mert can continue at the top level for a while. Beşiktaş doesn't need to think about reinforcements in goal. Ersin Destanoğlu is still in the team. These two Turkish goalkeepers are enough for Beşiktaş.

Also, considering the age of Fenerbahçe's attacking players, it was clear that they needed a player like Talisca who is fast and skillful with his feet. En Nesyri may be more successful in the second period because Talisca uses dead balls magnificently. They can make very effective plays from the wings with Tadic. We all know that Fenerbahçe could not get any efficiency from Maximin.

Big one for fenerbahce, as they are close to securing Anderson Talisca in their books. According to fabrizio earlier today he said the final steps are being sorted out and Al nassr is ready to give green light to both club and player for the deal to be secure this week. Teslisca is going to be a very big plus for fenerbahce, he is a wizard with his left foot and he can score from anywhere. He is also very good in the air. We all know how good talisca is and if he can cope in the Turkish league they for sure he is going to create wave and he will also help push the club right where they want to be. Another good thing about getting Talisca is that he is not an Injury prone kinda player, so I think it a good signing for fenerbahce. Let see how the couple days go.

Is they really happy that Fenerbahçe won this match? They got a win against one of the worst teams in the league. Although they could have scored many goals against this team, they could not take advantage of this opportunity. I don't think it makes sense for them to be happy about this. There is a crisis situation in all teams, no team's performance is truly sufficient. Let's see if Fenerbahçe will manage to get closer to Galatasaray in the leadership race

Honestly Fenerbahçe could have won that game by a much bigger goal difference. They wasted a lot of goal chances. En-Nesyri really surprises me lately. His form is quite decent even though he still wastes unbelievable chances at the same time.

The fans are still divided in 2 as far as I can see. While some of them are against Ali Koç the others still defend him. If I were a Fenerbahçe fan I would definitely be against him. Because he isn't a successful chairman as he has only one trophy which isn't even a Super League one.  

I don't think Mourinho should be at fault now. It is all on the chairman. I'm still surprised that Ali Koç doesn't even make a brave statement like he would leave his job if they don't win the Super League title this season also.

When Fenerbahce appointment Jose Mourinho as the club manager in the summer, I expected that they'll be playing exciting football this season but to my surprise, Fenerbahce have been struggling to put out great performances and even in games they win, you'll still notice that there's nothing convincing about the win. Jose Mourinho as a matter of urgency needs to work on the team and improve their performances. If making few signings this January will solve Fenerbahce issues, then they should do it.

Having a good offensive force is good for every team but without a good defense, they might not succeed. Galatasaray would have had no worries qualifying automatically for the Europa Cup next round if not for the draw against Malmo and Alkmaar. The four points they lost would have moved them to 16 points, which would have made them relax. The poor defence of the Yellow and Reds also made them lose some points in the Turkish League. They were just fortunate that Fenerbahce and Beşiktaş are not taking advantage of the slip in points. But it seems that coach Okan Buruk is rejigging the backside because they have improved in some recent games.

Fenerbahce managed to defeat Hatayspor 2-1 at home thanks to En Nesyri's goals.Fenerbahce played a dominant game from the beginning to the end of the match and managed to get 3 points against a weak opponent, but it is clear from the chants of the fans that the team and the management are still not liked. The performance of some of the players in the game has started to displease the fans.There was a reaction in this match where even Tadic was not liked.I wonder if Mourinho has added anything to the team.I honestly don't think Mourinho has done anything extra since his arrival.We saw a team that struggled even against Hatayspor, which is unacceptable.

the week's matches concluded with yesterday's fenerbahçe vs hatayspor game. here are my thoughts on the games i watched:

antalyaspor - eyüpspor

eyüpspor entered as favorites and delivered with a commanding 4-1 victory. seeing antalyaspor lose this heavily at home was unexpected.

the standout player was mame thiam, who recorded 2 goals and 1 assist. eyüpspor's goalkeeper, berke özer, also deserves praise with 7 crucial saves; he’s surely catching the attention of bigger clubs.

for antalyaspor, djenepo's impact after coming on in the 66th minute was impressive. perhaps introducing him earlier could have changed the game's outcome.

galatasaray - göztepe

watching galatasaray again after such a long break, i love it. but this match was quite stressful.

the game ended 2-1. galatasaray had a goal disallowed for offside. in my opinion, this result should be a warning for galatasaray. if you’re a team competing for the top 8 in europe, you should secure a more decisive win against the 5th team in the super lig.

defensive issues persist for galatasaray. full-backs remain problematic, muslera is aging, and it’s been a while since they kept a clean sheet.

these are concerns, but the team remains undefeated this season, which is impressive. however, facing a strong attacking team could be challenging. addressing goalkeeper and full-back issues quickly is crucial.

Winning is certainly good result but bit disappointing where Galatasaray did not show the quality of their dominant attacking game, many chance were missed and Goztepe was still able to keep up with Galatasaray.
Indeed, Goztepe is also not team that can be underestimated, they can occupy 5th place and are even superior to Besiktas, this is quite interesting and is one of Galatasaray match that can be said to be not easy for them with quite fierce competition.
