It is good that it is at the beginning of the season but in my opinion the same disgrace can continue for Galatasaray during the season. Galatasaray collected very good points last season and became the champion of last season but despite this I did not find the team very good. We have talented players but we do not have a very intertwined game as a team.

Galatasaray club did not make enough transfers for this season. As if the cup won last season was enough for Galatasaray or I don't know the season is not over yet. I hope it was like this only before the season started as you said. Although it is not like that in my opinion. Beşiktaş looked really good this season. I cannot say the same for Fenerbahçe.

If you are going to lose big and be humiliated, it's better that it's at the very start of the season so they can at least have time to recover from that loss and be better. We have seen this team be fine last season, won the league, and they were pretty strong at UCL as well, played very well, got all the way until the group stages, and finished above United, so we can see them recover. They haven't lost anyone of worth as far as I can see, which means that we are going to end up with them not being bad, or shouldn't be bad.

This game just shows that they just partied a little too hard on the summer period and did not get ready at all and they were not even capable of running properly all that much, so this definitely looks like it sucks.

Beşiktaş managed to win the Super Cup with a heavy and different victory against Galatasaray. Beşiktaş actually made a legendary start to the season with this win. Besiktas managed to score 5 goals in total and almost showered Galatasaray with goals. Galatasaray and its fans did not expect such a defeat. When the TFF administration changed, we can say that the referees' decisions in favor of Galatasaray started to change.

Beşiktaş made a bright start to the season with the Super Cup win. Beating your arch-rival 5-0 and achieving the most different result in the history of the cup gives you the psychological upper hand. With the right transfer moves and a new manager, we see a team that is a championship candidate again. In fact, it became clear that the skeleton of this team is not bad, how strong it will be with a few touches to the first 11. Immobile for the striker and Rafa Silva for the number 10 position have taken the team up a couple of levels.

I think Giovanni van Bronckhorst will want at least 2 more signings for the starting 11. If we can get rid of the contracts of foreign players, foreign signings will come.
We have Mert Günok in goal, the goal is solid.
It looks like we will continue with Masuaku at left back. At right back, Svensson and Onur Bulut are the players who are expected to leave the team but in the final analysis they seem to stay. The stopper line is in good shape with Colley, Paulista and new signing Emirhan. Necip is also a wild card in that area.
Al Musrati, Gedson and Salih are in the midfield. If he stays, Muçi, Rafa Silva and Demir Ege Tıknaz along with Amir and Onana make up a good rotation. On the wings there are Rashica, Muleka and Semih, another top-level transfer is a must there.
At forward, there is Immobile and Aboubakar and Mustafa Erhan. Semih also plays there.

There are a few players who need to be released from their contracts. After that, Beşiktaş's future is bright. With a good squad with alternatives, this team can play for the championship.

To be fair, it looked like it wasn't what Galatasaray is capable of, that game isn't really a proof that Galatasaray is a bad team or will be a bad team all season long. They had one terrible game, and Leverkusen had that too last year remember? They went like 51-52 unbeaten games, and then lost to Atalanta 3-0 at the very last game, decisive heavy victory for Atalanta that game, does that mean Leverkusen was bad? Of course not, no team that goes 50+ unbeaten games is bad, it just means they played one bad game.

We still don't know if galatasaray will be terrible, but they have some players who are coming in, and they should use Zaha a lot more, Kerem isn't good at all and yet they keep on insisting playing him for some reason, Zaha was injured last year for a while so I understand why he didn't play, but he is healthy, so they should play him. With Davinson Sanchez, new right back, Zaha on left wing, and Gabriel Sara, I think they will be quite good, go for the title again a third time.

I think friendly match give confidence to the players. That is time for them to learn from their mistakes and if they will play good,they Will be motivated and they will perform well in International cricket. That is time for preparation. In the last match ,Beşiktaş team did 2 goals and that team is confident team and the players of that team are doing hard work.  They won last match without any resistance and players did 2 goals at right time and the defense of team was also powerful . When M. E. Hekimoğlu did second goal his team won the match because before the score of both teams was equal . Team gave their hundred percent and won the match easily by 2-1 goals.

PAOK is not a Turkish team. In my opinion, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe are bigger teams than PAOK

We are still in the elimination phase of European matches, the opponents are quite weak in these matches. It is very normal that Turkish teams are winning these matches easily. Success in European matches has started to decline in recent years, which is why we watch so many knockout matches. Actually, we have much stronger teams, but we are going through some unlucky years

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce fought for the title last season and I have no doubt that they will be among the best teams in the league this season. Beşiktaş made some good signings in the transfer window. They had a very good win against Galatasaray in the Super Cup match. Last season they had no presence in the league. But this season they proved that they can be part of the championship race. Başakşehir are among the teams that have won the league title before. They also made good transfers this season. But I don't expect to see them in the race for the top this season.

Galatasaray have signed Gabriel Sara from Norwich City. Gabriel Sara scored 14 goals and 13 assists in the Championship last season. I think he is a very important signing. Galatasaray will pay 18 million Euros to Norwich City for this transfer.

PAOK is a Greek team, we don't understand why you said that. Of course the championship will be between three teams again. The other teams have no chance. A few Anatolian clubs have been champions in recent years, but those were extreme cases. This year, considering Galatasaray's saturation and underperformance, the race seems to be between two teams. Beşiktaş, which has gotten stronger with their new transfers, and Fenerbahçe, which has changed coaches again and hopes for a different result this time. I don't think other teams will be able to get involved in this race.

Yes, several team that have played each match, whether in the Europa League qualifiers or the Conference League, have shown their prowess and have really improved quite bit compared to last season.
For Fenerbahce and Galatasaray themselves, they are the two team that will represent the Turkish Super League to participate in the UCL and Fenerbahce still has to fight hard during this qualifying round to be able to survive and avoid being eliminated from the competition.
As for Galatasaray itself, they are still waiting for the time, they became champions of the Turkish Super League last season and brought them directly into the play-off round, this will be an important match because it determines how they are there.
Hope is that with several team participating in various competitions, they can continue to be strong team and can focus on the Turkish Super League because if they are not focused, the League will not be much more interesting.

In this season we are having good and positive changes at the top because we have huge investments from the Besiktas and Fenerbahçe; this brings good challenge for the defending champions Galatasaray and their first game result is showing how terrible they are so it's going to be interesting how they will manage in all season after having this humiliating start of new season.

In last few years, we are having good development in Super League and teams are investing funds for improving their quality and having better performance in UEFA events things like these are going to be good for the league and Turkey because now it is good time for them to having improved ranking in UEFA where they are standing at the 9th and can do better in coming years with their improved quality and performance.

It seems Turkish league will be very strong this season judging from all the Turkish sides in the UEFA Euro League and Conference League qualifications. All of them won their respective matches and even Istanbul Basaksehir defeated SP La Fiorita of San Marino in a goal aggregate of [10-1] which was outrageous. I am anxious to see what the various teams will bring to the table when the league finally starts. I want to see if there will be any new addition to the usual big teams such as PAOK, Galatasaray, Basiktas and Fenerbahce.

I'm still wondering what happened to Galatasaray in the game against Beşiktaş. Losing is always part of a game. All teams can lose at some point, but conceding 5 goals during a game is not normal, especially since they were playing with 11 players until the 87th minute. There were many terrible events for Galatasaray that happened in this game.

1 - First strange and terrible event: they conceded a goal 1 minute into the game. I might even think it was normal for them to concede a goal 10 or 30 minutes into the game, but 1 minute into the game? That's not normal. The football pitch is big and there are a lot of players on the pitch, so conceding a goal 1 minute into the game was very strange.



2- second strange and terrible event: they conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes. Yes, it is something very strange, it seems like the scenario of the first event in which they conceded a goal after just 1 minute, I am wondering how they conceded 2 goals in just 2 minutes, when I watch the highlights of the game to understand why they conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes I laugh at the way they conceded the goals. I honestly think it was a lack of form of the Galatasaray players, we will see if that is really what happened when the league games start.

Congratulations to Beşiktaş, starting the official games with this great victory and achievement is something very motivating for the players, maybe they can have a good chance of winning the title this time, they have a good squad and played very well in this game.

I was wondering what position there was regarding VAR in the match played yesterday.
The referee did not manage the match badly, but he should have given Kerem a yellow card when the game was stopped in the first half, but since the game continued for a long time, he did not give the yellow card when the game was stopped. Beşiktaş players also objected a lot. Kerem saw yellow 10 minutes after this position. I don't know if he would have seen this yellow if he had seen the first card.
Both teams are not ready for the game. When Okan Buruk brought Zaha into the game and vacated the midfield, the historical difference was inevitable.
Yunus Akgün and Köhn have a difficult time getting into the squad at Galatasaray. Most likely these two will go to other teams.

Beşiktaş played well but I can't say they played very well because Galatasaray was very bad.
Galatasaray was not prepared for this match at all, we understood that last night.
Some of my players were very bad, Icardi was like not even on the field.
Congratulations to Beşiktaş, they deserved this cup to the fullest.

Referee mistakes continue, the VAR system needs to be removed because no referee uses the VAR system.

Beşiktaş had a sensational win last night. I am sure no one expected this sensational result. It was tough for me to watch the match last night. We are still at the beginning of the season. In this period footballers cannot reach the maximum of their performance. That's why I won't create expectations for the next season based on the result of this match. But we should have been ready for this match in the friendly matches. I think Okan Buruk is responsible for this match and the bad result. He should have prepared the team for this match. We wouldn't have conceded 5 goals if we had been more ready. This score is a disgrace beyond defeat.

Beşiktaş played a great game, to be fair. Galatasaray's failure to make transfers this season and trusting the current squad was one of the abnormalities the club did. On the other hand, when Technical Director Okan Buruk accused the players by saying that I told the player the formation and he explained it wrong, Galatasaray was really disgraced last night.

Galatasaray does not look very bright for this year in terms of players and technical skills, and it also depends on how they will complete the transfer period, if we transfer a few new players, Galatasaray can still do something for the Super League. Beşiktaş has been the best looking team among the big three so far, I am curiously waiting for how the process will progress from now on. I congratulate Beşiktaş for its good game.

Yesterday's score still feels like a dream. I think Galatasaray's biggest mistake is that they have reached championship saturation and they didn't make the transfers this year. They couldn't keep their squad and Icardi is mentally broken after breaking up with his girlfriend. His mind is not on football, that's obvious. Except for Batshuayi, there was no new name on the pitch for them. Nelsson's mistakes are not even made by players from the lower leagues.
On the other hand, everyone has to give credit to Beşiktaş. The right transfers, the right coach and the right tactics combined to produce such a score. We can see that Beşiktaş will be very hungry for the championship this season and will fight to the end. I think Fenerbahçe will also be eager, after all they haven't been champions for 11 years. Galatasaray, on the other hand, might get championship fatigue and fall behind early in the league. I don't think Okan Buruk will be able to complete the season. He will either resign or be fired.

Galatasaray were terrible. I expected them to lose but not like this. 5-0 is a big embarrassment. Okan Buruk's comments on the match were ridiculous. He even intended to blame Zaha who played for 15-20 minutes. But the biggest fault belongs to the board of course. They were too late to sign the needed players. Gabriel Sara has just arrived after the match for example. You should always finish the primary transfers early. 

By the way Nelsson was terrible. This isn't the first time he is doing this kind of unbelievable things. I believe a better centre-back can be found to replace him.

Beşiktaş, which they said was having the worst season in history, won two trophies. It got the most different win in the history of the Super Cup and beat Galatasaray 5-0 as a team that scored 5 goals for the first time. This historic crushing score will be remembered for years to come. Beşiktaş went to a completely different level with two new transfers. It's still hard to believe that Immobile and Rafa Silva are here, it's like a dream. If Beşiktaş makes a few more reinforcements, they will be the biggest favorite for the league title. The league is a very long marathon, for that you need to have a squad with a bit more depth and quality alternatives.
