Galatasaray have dropped to 6th place after their last result. They are still under the danger of being pushed out of top 8 which worries me.
I know it is still nice to be safe in top 24 for playoffs at worst but still you know...
It is much better to move on without playing an extra phase. Maybe during playoffs we will have a difficult competitor and get eliminated earlier than I imagine. The main source of my worries is of course our defense. Because it's just terrible. Malmo could have even beaten us for example. Maybe we are dealing with some injuries also but I can't see it as an excuse. We need to get better with that by signing at least one back in January.
There are two more matches left for Galatasaray, playing at home against Dynamo Kyiv and playing away against Ajax. If we only consider their position in the Europa League standings at the moment, it is clear that Galatasaray still has a good chance of maintaining their position in the top eight. Because after all, Dynamo Kyiv is a team that is at the bottom of the standings without having a win and without choosing a draw, from the six matches that have been played, in fact Dynamo Kyiv only got full defeat.
Also about Ajax, although Ajax is currently in 11th position, it is only two points different from Galatasaray and of course, the away match against Ajax will be a difficult match for Galatasaray. But even so, it seems that I personally still believe that Galatasaray will still succeed in finishing in the top eight, at least Galatasaray still has a good chance.
