Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season

I really don't understand what happened to Galatasaray, at the moment they lost 2-0 to a middleweight team like Kayseri. It was only natural that it was a coincidence, but from the match statistics, Kayseri's current win was reasonable.

Kayserispor played much better and got an important win. Galatasaray's new transfers are not very successful. Substitutes perform better, but players for the starting 11 don't make the expected contribution.
Çağdaş Atan played with the right tactic and Kayserispor forced Galatasaray to always do crosses. As he said, Galatasaray made 44 crosses but couldn't get any result.
This win showed the difference in mentality between the coaches and we saw which one's tactical success was superior.

Galatasaray missed the chance for some big points. Their new transfers arent working i dont know what is the reason. They have the best players in Turkey and the best team on paper but just cannot win this matches. Icardi also scored just one goal in his three matches and i expected more from him. They need to score from those crosses and that is just a problem and they need to practice those on their trainings.

Galatasaray surprised me a lot last night with their defeat. They performed very bad at first half..I couldn't even count how many balls they lost trying to push ball in midfield. There were many passing errors. Especially Midtsjö. I think Torreria is also performing bad, he can't steal balls, he can't block opponent attackers at midfield. I think Galatasaray should give chance their bench. Competition is necessary. Even winger Yunus was terrible last night.
Only thing I liked with Galatasaray was their second half, they could actually beat Kayserispor with that performance. In 2nd half they at least played as true Galatasaray. It means things are not terrible, rotation is necessary in squad.

Volkan Demirel and his team suffered their first defeat against Karagümrük. In fact, Hatayspor doesn't have such a strong squad. This is evident from the fact that karagümrük scored 4 goals against fenenerbahçe last week.
Adana Demirspor is doing well. It is not easy to beat Kasimpasa, which is doing well, with 4 goals away from home.

Galatasaray's midfield was really bad last night. I was saying before that there were problems with the midfield, and yesterday I saw this much more clearly. Galatasaray put a little pressure in the first 20 minutes, then I can say that Galatasaray was completely out of the game after Gavranović scored at 22 minutes. Galatasaray club can't put out more than this football after spending so much, let's see what Okan coach is planning for now.

Basaksehir led 1-0 at half time against istanbulspor. Of course, the hosts were the dominant side. But it's true to say that we didn't see many positions in the first half. In the second half both teams will start to play faster.
In 2 hours the derby will start. Both teams are in dire need of a win.

Basaksehir desperately needs full points in this match to grab the top spot in the points table. Istanbulspor is not a strong team. Basaksehir's players performance is stable today. They are not trying to attack too much. As they are already leading 1-0. So now Basaksehir is trying to win the match 1-0 by playing defensively. Basaksehir looks set to win this match due to Istanbulspor's poor attacking performance. I think we will see Basaksehir at the top of the table in the next few weeks.

Galatasaray club can't put out more than this football after spending so much, let's see what Okan coach is planning for now.

It is all manager Okan Buruk's fault mate. Portuguese Sergio Oliveira performs far better than both Midtsjö and Torreira in my opinion. Other 2 is not spending that much effort running after the ball. I am sure Torreira will be replaced in future. Maybe next season.
I think Okan is not exactly dumb, he saw who was passionate and who wasn't. I am expecting him to start with Rashica and Oliveira. He may replace Yunus with Kerem and not even use Mertens maybe. Mertens also feels lackluster to me.

One of the most important matches of the league will start soon. Now let's move on to the comparison of the teams. Beşiktaş plays at home, which is a big plus. There are missing players in defense but the offensive line looks ideal, which is another plus. Redmond, Gedson, Muleka and Cenk are on the bench, so İsmael has a chance to make changes later, which is a plus. We can say that their form is negative because they had a hard time in the last matches, including the Giresun match they won.
Trabzonspor found morale with the big Monaco win. They are constantly conceding goals in the last matches in the league, but somehow they win. Only in the last match, there was no sound of goals.
We can definitely say that it will be a difficult match. Both teams will play to win. I think Beşiktaş is one step ahead. I hope that external factors will not interfere too much and we will watch a good match. Especially the finishing of the forwards will determine the score in the match.

[execijutiere]

Başakşehir scored one goal in each half to win the match 2-0 and made no mistake in the derby week. Now I'm impatiently waiting for the derby match. I really think it's an important match for both teams. Whoever wins can continue the league with a little more motivation. I think it will be difficult for Trabzon, they might be tired because of the Monaco game during the week.

[Ratash]

What a first half that was between besiktas and trabzonspor but it is not looking good for the home team, despite playing good football they ended up conceiding two goals and they are behind 2 1, its a huge result for trabzonspor with this result they will take the third position.

[CLS63]

Cenk Tosun normally didn't have a chance to play more than 16 minutes in a Super League match in this season so far. This time Valérien Ismaël decided to sub him in at the 68th minute and he scored a goal only two minutes after entering the match. This goal can be crucial for Besiktas to get at least one point as we are in the last minutes and it's still 2-2.

After having a 2-1 advantage in the first half already Trabzonspor started to focus on maintaining the score to get three points here. The second half has been fully under control of Besiktas. Trabzonspor have only two shots in this half. While Besiktas are taking risks I wonder if their opponent can find the winner and devastate them. Besiktas really need to win this to improve their recent form.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Galatasaray did not perform well this week. But this week, other teams have not played well. Beşiktaş, Trabzonspor and Konyaspor lost points this week. We did not experience a week unique to Galatasaray. Because we are only in the 10th week in the league yet. In-team adaptation problems are just being overcome in many teams. So it's no surprise to me to sometimes encounter such bad results.

Beşiktaş drew with Trabzonspor at home tonight. Fans demanded the resignation of coach Ismael Valerien. I said in my pre-match comment that I was waiting for this. Because, according to Beşiktaş fans, Beşiktaş players play football below the expected level. And according to them, Ismael Valerien is solely responsible for this.

Valerien is not a good coach for Beşiktaş. It's normal for fans to want his resignation.
He makes player changes so ridiculous. There is no other coach in the league that makes such changes.

[LGD2Business]

In the middle of the league, when there is only two points difference between the leader and the team, the coach shouldn't be changed. The team had only one loss in 10 matches. The real problem is in draws, a team that draws that many will walk away from the championship. Even if they are defeated occasionally, they should get more wins, the win rate should be more than 50%. If the number of wins doesn't reach 21-22 in the 36-game season, the probability of the championship remains very weak.
New tactical strategies to increase productivity on offense need to be tried. It's clear that they cannot score a goal by constantly crossing from the side. Counter attacks should be more effective. There is a lot that can be changed tactically. The team doesn't seem to have a game plan without Ghezzal. It's a big problem that there are no decent crosses from wings outside of Redmond. The wingers need to find a position by folding in. There are many more to count, but the loss of points must come to an end as soon as possible.

[execijutiere]

It may seem like an insignificant match for Fenerbahce, but I think this could be the match to start the league again. With 2 games missing, he is in a very good position. They have a chance to be the leader when they get two games less. I think the Ankaragücü match will be a bit difficult. Ankaragücü lost in the last matches even though they played well.

There is a Jorge Jesus reality in Turkey now. He leveled up to Fenerbahçe in a short time. Galatasaray and Beşiktaş fans are looking at him and making comparisons. That's why they are grumbling. I think they are right. Because Galatasaray and Beşiktaş have very high quality squads. But they are not at the desired level in terms of success.

Fenerbahce will play away with Ankaragücü tonight. Last week, they managed to defeat Karagümrük with an interesting struggle. They beat AEK Larnaca in Europe on weekdays. It goes without saying that their performance is very good. They are the favorites against Ankaragücü.

[emrecemsan]

Besiktas defense was terrible in this big match. They made so many mistakes which could have been their end against Trabzonspor. They conceded the second goal because of Masuaku. Because he passed the ball to Trezeguet by mistake and Trezeguet was one-on-one against Ersin all of a sudden. He didn't miss that big chance of course. The score could have been 3-1 for Trabzonspor later on also. Because this time Josef made a big mistake and Bardhi was one-on-one. Besiktas must be grateful for him not being able to find the net.

Besiktas still need to work on their defense line immediately. They made so many simple mistakes and lost points because of them for many weeks. They won only once on the last five weeks in the league for example. They could have been the leader easily now if they were better at defending.

This match is very important for Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe team must win this match. They are now sixth in the points table. However, the Fenerbahçe team has a good chance of going to the top of the table. Fenerbahce scored 17 points in 8 matches. On the other hand, Adana Demirspor, who are at the top of the table, have collected 21 points from 10 matches and if they win their next two matches at Fenerbahce, they will go to the top of the table. I think Fenerbahçe will be able to get full points against Ankargucu in today's match. Because Ankargucu has managed to win only 2 out of 8 matches.

I think Valerien Ismael is the worst coach Besiktas have since Ertugrul Saglam. Even though Ertugrul Saglam had a championship with Bursaspor later(big success at the time), he was 38 years old when he was coaching Besiktas and he was quite bad tactically etc. Yet, Valerien Ismael might be even worse than him. Batshuayi scored again for Fenerbahce right now against Ankaragücü. We can see how important is coaching even with this situation. Batshuayi can't play as a single striker like he did last year at Besiktas. He must be facing the post in his way of playing. Everyone thought Besiktas should play with double striker. Sergen Yalcin didn't even try once. Then after he got fired, Onder Karaveli was also inefficient and couldn't make Besiktas play good. And we can see the improvement of Fenerbahce with Jesus. I really wished Valerien Ismael project would work in Besiktas but I think it is hopeless. He must leave Besiktas. If he stays, it is such a waste for this roster. With better coaching, things could be much better for Besiktas.

And Fenerbahçe won the match against MKE Ankaragücü with wonderful fluid football. I can safely say now that even with some problematic defence strategy and rather mediocre goalkeeper, they are the best performing team between big 3. They definitely deserves winning the title this season and I am telling this as Galatasaray fan. Galatasaray and Beşiktaş don't have weak squads, their managers are just worse than Jorge Jesus.
