Yesterday we have started new years matches for Turkish Super League with things are looking to have good changes at top while we have Besiktas faced another shocking draw at home and Basaksehir having winning start for new year against Adana Demirspor which is now having no chance of survive in Super League and surely going to relegate.

Currently, we have defending Champions and leaders Galatasaray hosting Goztepe which is having good season while at the half-time we have score 1–1.

Victor Osimhen scored his 10th goal of season through penalty and give lead to his club Galatasaray but in 28th minute we have equalizer through Rumolo who scored 8th goal and trying to keep things on level in this game.

The final result gave victory and 3 additional points for Galatasaray. This result makes them very solid at the top of the standings and even undefeated in 17 matches.
Last season we could see Fenerbahçe quite competitive in the fight for the trophy. But this season it seems like only Galatasaray will be left calmly at the top.
Last season Galatasaray was able to score 92 goals, less than Fenerbahçe who was able to score 99 goals. But this season maybe Galatasaray can make their 100 goals.

Galatasaray continue to win. It is their 4th win in a row together with the one they got against Göztepe today. For once I thought Göztepe would cause them lose points but they couldn't make it. Because you know they are also one of the challenging opponents this season. It is really hard to get on an equal level with Galatasaray this season. Their defense still has serious problems because of a lack of players. But they can make up for it anyway thanks to their attacking power. They have the best attacking players especially after signing Osimhen.

Beşiktaş continues to lose points, if they continue to play like this they will lose more points.
I think they are very lucky to get 1 point tonight because Rizespor really played very well tonight.
Mert Günok was the star of the night, he saved very good balls. Beşiktaş owes a lot to Mert Günok tonight.
After winning from Fenerbache in week 14, I think they can bounce back, but instead we see that they continue to lose points and fail to win in the last 3 matches including when they lost to Rizespor, although in that match they managed to secure 1 point, but against Rizespor who are currently stay in the bottom rankings, besiktas actually looks very chaotic,  Apart from Muci who in my opinion performed well, they really have to thank Gunok who managed to thwart many opportunities and shots from Rizespor players in match, currently Besiktas is still able to be in the top 5, but if they want to remain a contender to enter the European zone, of course they must immediately improve their performance and return to the winning track in the remaining matches.
After losing against Adana Demirspor on 16th December their moral going down consistently as they have two draws at home which are clearly indicating things are not on track, and suddenly we have decline in performance now chances are ended for them to have spot into top 2 while we have Galatasaray strongly marching for another title with Fenerbahçe is also not able to give them any challenge.

Scenarios are not currently ideal for them to have positive changes due to their worst performance with their attack and defense both are not as they were performing in early rounds of this season which are setback we have few clubs which are improving and trying to keep things in well balance which will increase good competitiveness and increase in quality of clubs.

Mert Günok was the star of the night, he saved very good balls. Beşiktaş owes a lot to Mert Günok tonight.

Mert Günok has been Beşiktaş's best player in recent weeks. Beşiktaş have a lot of problems in defense. That's why Mert Günok faces the opposition's forwards a lot. Goalkeepers of good teams finish the match with a clean shirt. Mert Günok is Beşiktaş's player who makes the most effort. His shirt gets very dirty after matches.


Currently, we have defending Champions and leaders Galatasaray hosting Goztepe which is having good season while at the half-time we have score 1–1.


Göztepe played a better match than I expected. They used the counterattacks very well throughout the match. Also, there is an 8 point difference between us and Fenerbahçe. I think the 8 point difference creates concentration problems. The players are in a very relaxed mood. I felt it a lot in this match. I think they should play every match with the same professionalism. They should be careful about this.

Ernest Muçi scoring a goal is a plus, the fact that it came from an individual effort is a minus. There is a Beşiktaş that can't score goals in team play. They are neither effective in set plays nor on the counter-attack. Their offensive variations are insufficient. Players are not playing in their own positions, this has a big effect. However, the most important shortcoming is that the will and spirit to win is not reflected on the pitch. These are the first things the new manager must solve. The team needs a new atmosphere. This is not something that can only be done with transfers. The mentality needs to be renewed from top to bottom.

Making transfers is a difficult thing, they can overcome all these problems with a new team management. That's why I don't think too pessimistic, Beşiktaş can be much better in the future. The quality of the players is not bad, they just need to find good harmony among themselves. If a better environment is created with activities to be held together within the team, there is no reason why we can't see the Beşiktaş performance we miss

It wouldn't be a lie if I said Beşiktaş won 1 point yesterday. Beşiktaş goalkeeper Mert Günok being the man of the match is the biggest proof of this.

Gedson's ball hit his foot and went into the Beşiktaş net. Rize took the lead 1-0 with this goal. While there was not even a chance in the middle, Rize made a wrong pass while attacking and Muçi, who caught the ball, shot the Rizespor goal and scored. Maybe if Rizespor had finished the first half leading 1-0, they would have won the match easily, but it didn't happen. Rizespor scored another goal in the extra time of the match, but this goal was disallowed due to offside. Var stepped in at the position and made a right decision.

I can say that Rizespor lost 2 points. Beşiktaş can hardly make it to the top five in this state. They are very bad as a team.
I would say I haven’t seen Rizespor play this this good This season. What a performance, like every player gave their very best since the very beginning of the match till the end. Even though they got 2 goals ruled out by VAR due to the offside call. They scored from a set piece, it was an own goal but it a deserving one. Just right before the half time, a pass was misplaced by a Rizespor player which was picked up by  Ernest muci who made a good solo run and dribble pass a couple of players and scored a good goal to make it 1-1.

Besiktas are slipping away from their dreams to play in European league next season, they have been poor this season, dropping points in matches they should win. Besiktas have just one win in their last 9 matches in all competitions, it really bad for them. I believe a couple of players will be added to the squad during this transfer window, I really hope it reflects on their performance because they are far from the besiktas we know.

Besiktas was lucky not to lose this match. Rizespor had 21+ shots with expected goals of 2.77!! Besiktas just got lucky in this match and got a point that they did not deserve. Beskitas is sitting at 5th position and if they reach a europe spot this season it will be a big achivememt. To see such a big club barely fighting for europe is just shamefull. Rizespor should have won this match.

Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen have so far been very prolific for his club since the start of the season which have raised concerns about the future of the Super Eagles striker. He's currently on loan at the home of the Turkish champions but no one knows if he'll make his stay permanent after the end of of the season. I would love to see him join another bigger European club where he'll be staring in the UEFA Champions League competition. Do you think he'll extend his contract with Galatasaray or leave at the end of the season?

There is no contract extension. If not in January, Napoli will sell him at the end of the season at the latest. According to the current situation, there is an environment where whoever pays 75 million Euro will get him. Whether it will be PSG, an English club or another Italian club is uncertain at the moment. But one thing is clear, Turkish clubs can't pay 75 million Euro for any player. There is no such economy in Türkiye. This is both very risky and pointless. You can't invest that much on a single player. If the player gets injured, the club will not be able to get out from under that debt for years. The job doesn't end with just paying a transfer fee, there is the player's salary, taxes, bonuses. The cost of Osimhen staying in Türkiye for 3 years would be almost 150 million Euro. No club has this financial power. And there is no logic to this.

No club in Türkiye can take on such a financial burden, but the news constantly says that resources are found for Osimhen's transfer. When considered logically, it would not be right to pay such a high amount for a player because the clubs' previous transfers and their financial situations do not meet the valid reasons for such a transfer.

Every fan wants to see a player like Osimhen on their team. I was very surprised when he came to Galatasaray because many big clubs did not sign Osimhen despite their lack of forward positions. Galatasaray did a great job by transferring Osimhen, but they do not have the economy to buy his transfer fee.

Today there was a Rizespor-Beşiktaş match. I watched the first half and some parts of the second half. I can say Rizespor were very dominant in those parts. Their potential winner in the last minutes was also disallowed by VAR which has been discussed a lot by people. I have seen the VAR image and I must admit that it is a really tough decision. Some people say it wasn't fair but it is too late even if it is true. Beşiktaş are still struggling. There is a new president now and I wonder what this will change in the future for them.

Fenerbahçe play against Hatayspor this Sunday. I hope us to get a comfortable win. Smiley From now on we don't have much choice to lose points in these matches as the gap with Galatasaray is getting bigger.

The prioritized transfers we make must be focused on our defense area. Because Galatasaray have conceded so many goals this season until this point. No matter we play with 3 or 4 defenders, it didn't change.

First Okan Buruk should decide how to play during the rest of the season. The transfers should be made according to that system. Otherwise I won't have bigger expectations than winning the Turkish Super League trophy.  Sad  I mean I would really like us to do something special in the Europa League. We actually have the strength for that in offense. But it isn't enough when you are vulnerable. Skriniar transfer is still ambiguous. The same is valid for Osimhen's departure this month also...
The transfer window is open now and i also expect Galatasaray to improve their defensive line because they have not been really stable in the defense and if not for the goals scored by the attackers it would have been difficult for them to maintain top spot because they concede in almost every game they play and a team looking to win the league shouldn’t concede that much.

Osimhen has really helped them a lot and they should appreciate the attackers for playing their part well but the problem is if Osimhen leaves this January would they keep up the goal scoring form? To be sincere if they don’t improve their defense i don’t expect anything other than winning just domestic trophies because it will be difficult to compete in the Europa league this way and if Osimhen leaves it worsens the situation. Something needs to be done in the defensive line at least.

Galatasaray and Eyüpspor have started official talks for Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer.
Berke Özer is one of the shining players of this year, he showed a very good performance in the Galatasaray match.
He may be able to replace Muslera, but it would be better for Galatasaray if we find a better goalkeeper.
I don't know if Ahmed Kutucu is really necessary because I think they will take him as a reserve forward.
I think If you look at Galatasaray you really have to believe how well and strong they play and won the match.  Due to which his name is in the top position and also in this league. He will find a solution for this too because he knows that no matter how weak the opposing team is, if their keeper is not good, they can score goals.  Well they should take this player because his perform are quite good which will make Galatasaray even better. If seen there are very high and strong players in the Galatasaray team. Galatasaray record will be even better than before which makes it a good decision for them.

~snip~
Galatasaray so far seem to be starting to move quickly to strengthen their attacking line, as they are aware that the possibility of osimhen leaving in the near time is very likely to be due to the interest of European big teams in him, besides that Icardi injury of course makes them need to look for alternative players to still be able to maintain their chances and consistency in the cusuperlig and UEL as title candidates, the name you mentioned is a player who can help Galatasaray attacking line stay sharp, but the price problem seems to be the reason why it is difficult for that the transfer to occur, I think, maybe Galatasaray needs to look for more realistic alternatives such as recruiting other players from smaller leagues, or utilizing loan players can also be an effective strategy like they did on osimhen previously.
They have to hunt for striker in Europe to replace Osimhen if he is really bought by one of the big team in Europe which is currently being linked with Napoli to complete the Osimhen release clause agreement, moreover Icardi absence also still provides difficult condition for Galatasaray even though now it can be better after Osimhen is there.
Is very unfortunate when Galatasaray has to experience decline in performance later if Osimhen leaves, Okan Buruk as coach should also take part in making decisions in an effort to improve the Galatasaray squad, now they have to dare to take risks by spending more money to solve the problem of the vacancy in the front line.
They are in a very complex situation considering that their mainstay striker (osimhen) has the potential to leave in the near time , maybe losing osimhen will not affect their performance too much in the domestic league considering that they are quite comfortable at the top of the standing, but if they want to remain the contender for the UEL title then they must have a good enough squad depth especially  in the front line,  actually, Okan Buruk started to think about it and forced the management to find a solution to the possibility of losing Osimhen later, but I think, their big problem right now is the difficulty of recruiting great strikers when the season had running, because the January transfer market will usually be difficult for other teams to sell the strikers they have, if there is, of course the teams will set a very high price to their players.
