As far as I know, he is not coming back before March 3. He is a huge loss for the team now because they need a player to carry the team now. And of course, they shouldn't depend on one player. I didn't mean that. They just need a big score contribution to the team to start winning regularly again. And when it comes to tonight's game, I see no chance for Nets. I don't think Celtics would lose this game while they are in-form this much. Maybe it could be a win by a close margin though.

I just loved Liverpool's performance against Leeds yesterday. Honestly, I thought that maybe Leeds would fight hard against Liverpool and wouldn't lose by a huge gap like this. But I missed a point here as it seems. Liverpool are the best home team in the league right now. They didn't lose any game so far. They have nearly always dominated their home games. And they did the same against Leeds too. The game was finished in the first half already by Liverpool. And the second half was all about just a show. 

There are three league games today. And all of them are missing games of those teams. The biggest ones seem to be Burnley - Tottenham and Liverpool - Leeds. Tottenham are facing an easy opponent actually but they still need to be aware not to have the same experience Manchester United had against Burnley some weeks ago. Tottenham have improved their morale a lot after defeating Manchester City away. They should be winning this easier. And Liverpool are going to play a very important game because they can drop the point difference to 3 points with Manchester City. And I have no doubt that they will make it.

Liyakatın olmadığı ülkelerde bunlar her zaman yaşanacaktır. Bu serbestlikten güç alıyor böyle insanlar işte. Eğer siz yönetimde boşluklar bırakmadan böylelerine göz açtırmazsanız bunları yaşamazsınız. Dünyanın hiçbir yerinde böyle insanlar bu cesareti bulamamalı bize kalsa ama hayat bu sonuçta. Her şey toz pembe değil. Umarım gelecekte ülkemizde böyle insanların bir yerlere gelemediği ve işini düzgün yapacak, eleştiriye her zaman açık insanların görevlere getirildiği bir ortam görebiliriz.

Having the most ball possession is not enough for winning I'm afraid. Villarreal played well if we take all of their statistics into account. But this was because Juventus scored very early too. They scored nearly at the beginning of the game. And they did their thing as always by trying to keep their 1-0 advantage until the end. Because it was going to be enough for Juventus for the second leg. But Villarreal finally scored the equalizer however couldn't get ahead. And now, Juventus are still holding an advantage.

The next week is going to be an easy one finally I hope for Milan and Inter. It was like this last week too actually but they got very unexpected results. I don't expect the same things to happen next week. Milan are playing against Udinese home. And Inter are playing against Genoa away. These are easy opponents for them. Both of them would win their games nicely. But I won't be saying the same for Napoli this time. Because they are playing against Lazio away. And this is going to be hell of a game which they could lose points.

Barcelona have been doing very good lately in the league. Their huge win against Valencia must have made them much happier now. And I expect them to play more focused in their next games in the league and the Europa League both. And I also think that Aubameyang will be very successful here. His first meet with a goal here was in the Valencia game and he had even a hat-trick which was great to watch. He wasn't playing like this literally for years and he is like reborn now.

Galatasaray gibi büyük bir takıma hiç yakışmıyor bu sezonki performans düzeyi. Galatasaray'ın ihtiyacı olan oyun bence bundan seneler önceki Drogbalı, Sneijderli dönemdeki o maçı domine eden mükemmel oyun. Türkiye'nin Barcelona'sı benzetmeleri yapılıyordu Galatasaray için o zamanlar. Şimdi bakıyorsunuz, nereden nereye gelmişler. Bu sezon ligde kalmalarından başka bir beklentisi olmayacaktır taraftarlarının zaten de. Umarım gelecek sezon kendilerine gelirler ve hatta üç büyüklerin hepsini şampiyonluk yarışında görürüz umarım.

Dortmund seemed very eager to win against Gladbach after losing against Rangers in the Europa League by a 2-4 score. And they got all they wanted from this Bundesliga game by demolishing Gladbach home, 6-0. Gladbach were already in a miserable condition in this season and they got another big hit by Dortmund. They are really helpless and they are just hoping to stay in the league. It was nice to see Dortmund playing like this and I see that Haaland is back now too.

İşsizlik rakamları gerçekte can sıkıcı değerlere ulaştı ama TÜİK oralı değil gibi görünüyor. Bilerek hatalı veriler paylaşmalarıyla çokça tepki çektiler şimdiye kadar da zaten. Benim merak ettiğim bu şartlarda böyle bir rakamın açıklanmasını isteyenler neyin kafasını yaşıyor acaba. Çünkü en ufak mantıklı bir değer bile değil yani hadi gerçek veriden az bir şey aşağıda olsa yine daha inandırıcı olurdu da. Bugün BBC'de bir haber okudum da TYT'de yüzde 32'lik bir dilim barajı geçememiş en son. Bu da işsizliğin gitgide artmaya devam edeceğinin bir göstergesi.

There was a pure dominance by Real Madrid against Alaves yesterday and Real Madrid won the game by 3-0 easily. Benzema had a great game as he had 2 assists and scored 1 goal. He is still showing how much important player he is for the team now. Sevilla are going to be under pressure today after this win. They would like to keep the point difference with Real Madrid in the standings. But their game is really difficult against Espanyol away. I won't be surprised if Espanyol steal a point.

Ne kadar çaba olsa da volatilite yine son sözü söyledi. Çok güzel bir çıkış yakaladıktan sonra yine 40 bin dolar altına gerileme yaşandı. Şu an 38 bin dolardan işlem görüyor. 30 bin doların altına kesinlikle bir düşüş beklemiyorum ve umarım böyle bir şey olmaz. Marta da çok bir şey kalmadı zaten. Gözler FED'den gelecek kararda olacak ve piyasayı olumlu etkilemesi umuluyor. Bu kararla bir ivme yakalanırsa artık 40 bin doların üzerine çok uzun süreli bir yerleşme gelebilir bence. Yeniden bir ralli başlayabilir yukarıya doğru sonrasında da.

Atletico Madrid Levante'ye evinde kaybettikten sonra Osasuna'yı hayatta yenemez diye düşünüyordum. Ama tam tersine 3-0 gibi bir skorla çok rahat geçtiler. Aslında oyun olarak baktığımızda Osasuna çok iyiydi. Ama Atletico Madrid herhalde bir sihirli değnek dokundurdu ki baya şanslı günündeydi çünkü.    Bu galibiyet umarım onların özgüvenini iyiden iyiye artırır da gerçekten Atletico Madrid gibi oynamaya devam ederler. Ama bu sezon için pek bir umudum yok onlardan.

Some people are talking about only Harry Kane but they are disregarding Son here. Son's performance was also superb. He made two assists in this game and both of them were great to see. I really love the harmony between Son and Kane at this team. They are making such a great duo that this helped them win this game like this the most. Like most people, I also was surprised about their getting a win here. And I'm really happy about this because Liverpool have decreased the gap with Manchester City to six points now. And Liverpool are going to play their missing game next time. If they win, the gap will be three points and suddenly the title competition would be fired up really highly.

We have left the first leg games behind and the results were quite interesting. Dortmund shocked me the most as they lost against Rangers in Signal Iduna Park by a result like 2-4. This was really unbelievable for me. Maybe they don't care about this tournament as much as the Champions League but they still would do better than this. But I still don't see that this is the end for them. If they really want the next round, they can still make it. Rangers are no match for Dortmund normally. And I was sad to see Barcelona failing to win. They dominated the game but still it ended 1-1. I wish F. Torres was better at benefiting from the chances he got.

Real Madrid are playing home against Alaves today. And after losing to PSG by a last-minute goal in the Champions League, they really need an improvement in their morale. And this is just the game for that I believe. Alaves are just some other desperate team this season. They are in a very bad condition and desperately trying not to relegate from the league. But this is the most difficult game of the season. And I see no bright future for them in this game. Real Madrid would win it nice and easy.

Cupra'nın elektrikli araç yaptığını duyunca şaşırdım açıkçası. Çünkü adamlar Seat'tan spor araba yapmak için ayrılıp tek başlarına markalaştılar. Çok güzel birkaç araba yaptılar bile. Ancak hemen hemen tüm markalar böyle gitgide elektrikli araçlara yönelmeye başladı haliyle. Çünkü gelecekte benzinli ve dizel araçlar tamamen yasaklanma noktasına gelecek. Bu arada 2. sıradaki Lucid'in yaptığı arabasını aylar önce bir makalede okumuştum ve etkileyici bir arabaya benziyordu. Tesla ile menzil konusunda rekabet edecekleri yönünde de bir şeyler okumuştum ki başarılı da olmuşlar.

Arsenal wouldn't lose points in their game against Brentford I think. Their playing a home game is going to be a big advantage for Arsenal. They make me really impressed by their general performance in this season. And if they really want to qualify for the Champions League, they will need to perform much more. Because there are many candidates fighting for the fourth spot now. And Arsenal can show their eagerness by winning this game without having serious troubles.

Milan are going to have another comfortable week. Salernitana are the worst team in this season now. And I expect no decent competition from them against Milan. And Milan are the current leader now. They should be able to keep their position by this week easily too. Napoli and Inter also are going to have comfortable games. In case Milan make any mistake, one of them would benefit from it right away. And I'm sure of them to win as much as I think the same about Milan too.

Bu olay çok ilginç bir şekilde sonuçlanacak gibi duruyor. Çünkü geçenlerde Twitter'da iki alışveriş fişine rastlamıştım. Birisinde KDV indirimi öncesi bir ürünün fiyatı yazıyor diğerinde de sonrasındaki fiyatı. İşin ilginç yanı, iki fişte KDV farkları belirtilmiş ama ürünün fiyatı birebir aynı kalmış. Böyle bir tabloyu belki de birçok yerde görmek mümkündür şu an. Bunun acaba yeni zamlara denk gelmesi ile mi alakası var diyeceğim de pek sanmıyorum. E madem KDV indirimini ürün fiyatlarına yansıtmayacaklarsa ne işe yaradı ki bu olay?
