Galatasaray, after their recent failures, barely won a match today, I hope Okan Buruk and the players will come to their senses a bit. I'm not sure what Okan Buruk is trying to do. Icardi can't run, he saw it in the last Rigas match, I don't understand why he keeps him on the field for long minutes. I'm sure the team wouldn't have had such a hard time today if he had played Batshua instead of Icardi.
Galatasaray's game is not promising. If Okan Buruk can't pull off a miracle with the players he has at his disposal, Galatasaray could be out of the title race early this year. Defensively the team is alarming. There is no connection between the midfield and the offense and there is no one in the team who can make plays. They are constantly looking for goals with inefficient crosses from the wings. Gabriel was the only player whose play I liked the most today. Galatasaray is being managed by Okan Buruk with the wrong system this year. Galatasaray's squad depth is not enough to take the league and Europe together.
In the week when Fenerbahçe passed in the Super League, Galatasaray defeated Alanyaspor 1-0 on its home field with a goal scored by Yunus Akgün in the first half.
I think the most important event of the match was if Mertens had not elbowed his opponent when the match was 0-0. The referee may not have seen it, but what do Var referees do? Shouldn't they warn the referee in this position? I think it's a position that should have been a clear red card and Var missed it.
In the other match, Gaziantepspor and Beşiktaş drew 1-1. Beşiktaş left 2 very important points with this draw. I have been saying for a long time that there is a serious lack of form in Beşiktaş and this is increasingly reflected in the league.

There was only 1 win from the matches played today.
Göztepe - beat Sivasspor 3-2
Trabzonspor drew with Hatayspor, one of the worst teams in the league. I think this 1 point is bad for Trabzonspor, they should have gotten 3 points from this match.
Başakşehir also drew 1-1 with Kayserispor and got 1 point.
This is also a bad result for Başakşehir.
Kasımpaşa - Bodrum FK match also ended 0-0.
Almost all the Turkish Super League matches that played yesterday ended in playing draw except only the match between Göztepe and Sivasspor, though it would have also ended in draw because at the 90 minutes the both side was still on a 2:2 goal before the chance came out for Göztepe to take the lead, however i don't no if I'm the only one observing that Göztepe squad is not fierce enough and they need to make some changes on the whole squad because I was not impress with the match yesterday because of there inconsistent by wining 2:0 at the first and at the beginning of second half conceiving another two goals. Göztepe - beat Sivasspor 3-2
Trabzonspor drew with Hatayspor, one of the worst teams in the league. I think this 1 point is bad for Trabzonspor, they should have gotten 3 points from this match.
Başakşehir also drew 1-1 with Kayserispor and got 1 point.
This is also a bad result for Başakşehir.
Kasımpaşa - Bodrum FK match also ended 0-0.
Another club that was expected to win there match yesterday was Istanbul against Kayserispor but they were not prepared on that match because there performance explains it all, i don't no why on this Turkish Super League clubs that are on the relegation zone normally play hard to be won by the upper clubs.
Konyaspor won the match at home surprisingly. They were not very effective throughout the match but Eyüpspor could not score a goal. The first half of the match was quite boring. After the first goal, the match started to be enjoyable. Due to a few wrong referee decisions, Konyaspor got a little more angry and managed to score a goal.
In the last seconds of the match, they scored the goal that put them ahead and managed to get 3 points from this match.
We can say that the fans were happy after a match after a long time

The situation of Galatasaray can really be explained by complacency. Because some of their defenders don't maintain the same performance they had in the previous season. For example Abdülkerim isn't the same anymore. He makes more mistakes this season. As long as they don't solve these problems they can risk their championship chance more in time.
I would love to say this is good for Fenerbahçe but I don't like my team also recently.
We are also suffering defensive issues. We can't get good level of contribution from some of our attackers as well.

We are also suffering defensive issues. We can't get good level of contribution from some of our attackers as well.I also agree with you opinion. That is the real problem now. We shouldn't forget about the inconsistencies since the beginning of the season also. I mean they started the Champions League qualifiers really badly as you can remember. They had the exact same problems in their defense line. After the Super League started there were serious improvements. But now they are back to it again after a short time.
I understand people criticizing Okan Buruk more now. First I also found this unfair truthfully.
But but seeing the inconsistent defensive performances persist pushed me to support them for their criticism.
Başakşehir drew 1-1 with Kayserispor. In his first match after Burak Yilmaz announced his departure from Kayserispor, Kayserispor went to a strong away team and managed to get points from this match. After leading 1-0 at half time, Kayserispor conceded a goal early in the second half. The match ended with these 2 goals and both teams had plenty of chances. Kayserispor at least took a breath after 2 weeks of 3-0 defeat.
Galatasaray itself is currently temporarily at the top of the standings and will face Alanyaspor and this is home game for Galatasaray so they are still very likely to win even though Alanyaspor is not team that can be underestimated.
Galatasaray have had very interesting results in recent matches. We were 3-0 up against Kasımpaşa Spor, but the match ended 3-3. We were 2-0 up against Rigas in the UEFA Europa League, but the match ended 2-2. We could not win the matches we were ahead because we made very simple mistakes in defense. Also, our technical director Okan Buruk made very simple tactical mistakes. We haven't won our last two matches, but I think we will win the Alanyaspor match because Okan Buruk talked about the problem and how he will solve it in his statements to the press in the middle of the week. I believe in Galatasaray in this match.
Another European return and another away game await Beşiktaş. This time they will play in Gaziantep. It will be a tough match but with enough rotation Beşiktaş will win this match. It's especially important for the Turkish players to play at a higher level. When all the burden is on foreign players, it's not a very healthy competition. Today I want to see extra fight from Salih, Mustafa and Semih especially, if they play. There is no need to play too dominant, it's important to win even with a single goal. The starting 11 must do everything to get 3 points. That's all that matters.
Against Gaziantep will indeed be a big challenge for Beşiktaş at the moment in maintaining their position in the standings, playing away at Gaziantep Stadium today then with the right rotation of course they could have won points in the match, so far Gaziantep is not a strong team and even they are currently in the relegation zone, but this should not make besiktas underestimate them because after all Gaziantep often troubles them in every matches, Besiktas has a great chance to win this match, especially considering Gaziantep's inconsistent performance this season, but I think we also can't deny the surprise factor that will happen in the match, I agree that it is important for local players like Salih, Mustafa, and Semih to show their best performance among many foreign players today.

There are several match left today for week 8 and two of them are quite interesting match because they are Besiktas vs Gaziantep and Galatasaray vs Alanyaspor.
Indeed, Besiktas opponent today is only Gaziantep which is lower team with inadequate strength if competing with Besiktas but this will be an important match for Besiktas to continue to win and be able to maintain its position in the competition for place in the standings with as many points as possible, they also still have postponed match.
Galatasaray itself is currently temporarily at the top of the standings and will face Alanyaspor and this is home game for Galatasaray so they are still very likely to win even though Alanyaspor is not team that can be underestimated.
If bet, might make Besiktas the favorite to win and also take Galatasaray, the chances will be very good.

Galatasaray have had a nightmare for two matches. They lost their advantage in both of them despite being ahead by multiple goals and got draws in both. One of them was even against one of the smallest teams of the Europa League.
What do you say about their next match against Alanyaspor? Will this continue you think? Honestly I still believe they will finally win and break out of this loop. They don't have any issues with offense. They are easily scoring goals no matter Osimhen is injured or not. The only issue is defense. Okan Buruk is quite much criticized about this topic. I think a manager who made this team champions can find a solution before it is too late.

Galatasaray are very lucky that their next game will be against a team that doesn't score many goals very often. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, in the last 4 games that Alanyaspor has played, they haven't managed to score 2 goals in each game. In most of the games they only score 1 goal. But they conceded a lot of goals when they played against Fenerbahce. That's why in my opinion, Galatasaray will win easily. I don't see Galatasaray losing to Alanyaspor at all. Now, regarding Galatasaray's performance in European competitions, I think Turkish teams in general haven't done well in European competitions. It's not something that comes as a surprise.
Trabzonspor is one of the teams that has no defeat in the Super League, but having 6 draws so far is a different statistic. Maybe he was never defeated, but if these 6 matches had been 3 losses and 3 wins, he would have had 6 points more and would have found himself in the top ranks.
Even though they were defeated 1-0 in front of Hatay today, they scored the equalizer and remained undefeated again.
After the Hatayspor match, there will be an international break and Trabzonspor will have the opportunity to work with Şenol Güneş as a kind of early season camp.
Since Şenol Güneş did not form the team, they have now encountered these problems and it may take a little more time for this situation to go away.
Trabzonspor really played well today just that they are still lacking behind in terms of winning matches and it really affecting them. What I figured out is that they lack killer instinct in the final third, though Simon banza was signed on loan from Braga to bring his scoring boot and he did absolutely that, he has now scored 3 goals in 4 matches for them. Even though they were defeated 1-0 in front of Hatay today, they scored the equalizer and remained undefeated again.

Trabzonspor are not whrer everybody expect them to be at the table right now because there are matches which they drew that they are suppose to win. Let hope the team can get itself in foam after the international break. The Turkish league more tough this season, most teams approach are now different and more aggressive, unlike last season Turkish teams where not playing with this much intensity.

Trabzonspor drew in 6 of the 7 matches they played. I don't remember a team having such a statistic for a long time. They are undefeated but they can't win matches, which causes them to fall behind in points. They changed managers, Avcı left and Güneş came but nothing changed. I wonder how far they will go like this. If this situation continues for a few more games, they will be out of the championship race very early and Güneş could also be fired.

That's what we call in English "lethargy", it means the team won so much that they don't feel that hunger anymore and they want to just cruise the season already and finish it, they don't have that feeling or desire to win, they already won and feeling like they done enough. Even if they lose now, most of the players are the same players and they could just say "we may have been bad this year, but won two in a row" and that's not a bad defense to be fair. Or maybe they will see this two games as wake up call and start to play better and will get greater results again.What do you say about their next match against Alanyaspor?

Remember, they are still leaders in their league, while they had two very bad results, being leaders in the league and 8th at the European competition is a great result so far. I believe if they just keep this up, they will end up with a good result at the end of the season, and people will not remember these two games, they will remember the results only and that's more than enough.

We can say that there is a serious problem in defense. It is not acceptable that they conceded 3 goals from Kasımpaşa. Of course, there may be decreases in performance in some matches, but since they could not win 2 matches in a row, they are naturally receiving a reaction from everyone. They could not beat Rigas, this alone shows how serious the situation is. If you cannot win comfortably even from a very weak team, you need to think a little
