Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season

[DanWalker]

Beşiktaş team's situation is very shaky now. This team is not playing well consistently. In the last 5 matches, this team has won only one match. And lost in 3 matches. Despite winning 2-1 against Hatayspor, Beşiktaş lost 3-1 against Kasimpasa. Beşiktaş also failed to show dominance in their home matches.

Beşiktaş played well in the first half against Kasimpasa. Despite conceding a goal in the 41st minute, they managed to end the first half at 1-1. But Kasimpasa's striker Nuno Da Costa's great performance saw Beşiktaş defeated. Nuno da Costa scored a hat trick in this match. After scoring one goal in the first half, he scored two more goals in the 80th and 83rd minutes of the second half. Kasimpasa got a fantastic win at Beşiktaş's ground.

The team is conceding simple goals. There is a loss of concentration. They are playing as if there is no goal left in the league. There's a ramble because the new manager hasn't arrived. Aside from the high number of missing players in the squad, the players who are on the pitch are not giving the performance they should. There was no break in the league to solve these problems. The new manager should come as soon as possible and new transfers should be made. There is also a numerical deficiency in the team. There is nothing acceptable about today's defeat. Beşiktaş was a team that beat Kasımpaşa even in their worst times. Today's defeat wasn't befitting.

I agree with you. In the past we have seen that Beşiktaş team played well and won against Kasimpasa even though their squad was not strong enough. But this season Beşiktaş lost 3-1. And it was their home match. Beşiktaş players can't perform well even in home matches.

Beşiktaş now needs to strengthen the squad a bit more. They have no chance of winning the title this season. But they should target the title next season. Experienced coaches should be hired before the winter transfer window and funds should be prepared to add talented players to the squad. Then maybe we can see a better performance from Beşiktaş next season.

Why does the team still play 4-1-4-1 while having difficulty creating positions? When Muleka plays as the lone striker, the team cannot attack properly. Nuno Da Costa played very well, perhaps the match of his life, let's give him credit. However, it's not possible for Beşiktaş to play so doomed at home. It should have been a team that took more shots and found more positions. The mistakes made in defense were annoying. Anyway, neither of the defenders plays in their original position. Neither Necip nor Bakhtiyor are central defenders. But there are so many deficiencies in the team that they have to play.

I always feel like 4-1-4-1 is like cancer in modern football. Attacking players should also be joining defence, we are living in 2024. I would rather prefer less talented player at wing that will run a lot to block balls. I think Beşiktaş may be wrong with focusing on attack. I suppose better defending players (like Torreira) should join Beşiktaş midfielder so their opponents will have harder time finding better positions while attacking. Easy goals are caused generally by lazy midfielders.

Çaykur Rizespor's incredible rise continues. Rizespor haven't lost in the last 7 matches, winning and drawing back to back for these games. Today they defeated Hatayspor and moved further up the standings. İlhan Palut is doing really good work there. Adolfo Gaich is on loan from CSKA Moscow, he's turned out to be a great goalscorer. Varesanovic who scored again today is one of the quality foreign players in our league. If Çaykur Rizespor can maintain this form, they might have a chance to qualify for the European Cups. They are experiencing perhaps the best period in their history.

Beşiktaş played well in the first half against Kasimpasa. Despite conceding a goal in the 41st minute, they managed to end the first half at 1-1. But Kasimpasa's striker Nuno Da Costa's great performance saw Beşiktaş defeated. Nuno da Costa scored a hat trick in this match. After scoring one goal in the first half, he scored two more goals in the 80th and 83rd minutes of the second half. Kasimpasa got a fantastic win at Beşiktaş's ground.

Nuno Da Costa's first goal in this match was fantastic. He scored an excellent goal thanks to his individual skills and put his team ahead. Kasımpaşa deserved to win the match. Beşiktaş have one of the worst squads in their history. It is impossible to compare them with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. This season will go down in history as a lost year for them.

Antalyaspor 0 - 0 Alanyaspor

This was a very unpredictable game, with both teams coming from many draws in the last 5 games. Antalyaspor in the last 4 games had 2 draws, 1 victory and 1 defeat. while their opponent, Alanyaspor, in the last 4 games had 3 wins and 1 draw, so Alanyaspor had more chances of winning in this game, but the history of draws that both teams had been presenting in the last 4 games also gave reasons to thinking that this game could end in a draw and that's what happened, the game ended in a draw.

Besikitas 1 - 3 kasimpasa

I honestly thought that Besikitas would rise up and come out of this game with victory, since they had only 1 victory in the last 4 games, so it was necessary for them to put a lot of effort into this game to reverse the current bad situation of lack of consistent victories in which they are having it, it is true that their opponent was a little better than them when compared to the performance of the last 4 games, but it was not a difficult opponent for Besikitas to beat, I thought that before this game happened, but when the end came of the game, I was shocked how Besikitas lost very easily

It was as if Besikitas were playing against the top teams, with this defeat Besikitas has an impressive 1 victory in the last 5 games. Besikitas' luck is that they are in a position where they are not at risk of being relegated and do not have a big points difference with the teams that are in the qualifying zone for the European League and Conference League. so there is still a chance that Besikitas will be able to finish in a position where they will be allowed to play in European competitions, now if in the next games they continue to lose, then their situation will get worse

Days back, there were unfavorable results in the Turkish League. A goalless draw for Antalyaspor against Alanyaspor. The host side has a record of goal scoring and game victories but unfortunately, their visitors were able to hold them down and ensure too well that they didn't get a chance at a goal being scored. For the host, it was a bad game and for the visitors, it's a fair game as they didn't have to loose 3points.

 For Besiktas, they were the host to kasimpasa but still were shaded out of the game after being defeated by 3goals to just 1goal. It's very disappointing because all thought they were a better side based on previous records of performances but one way or another, they were just outrun. Encouraging game for the visitors as it's a boost into the next and a challenge of striving to come back in the league after incurring such loss.

In addition to Hakim Ziyech Galatasaray are expected to part ways with Tanguy Ndombele also. Honestly both of them would be sensible partings (especially Ndombele). Ndombele couldn't even play properly in the recent times. Some weight problems occurred according to I know which created some problems between him and Okan Buruk also.

But Ziyech has been better than him surely. He has 4 goals and 2 assists in 14 games in the Turkish Super League and Champions League. But when we consider his general effort I don't also think it was impressive enough. 

It would be a very right decision if they part ways with them.
Ndombele is not here to play, he only eats and drinks.
I hope Angeliño is also parted with because he's not giving the desired performance.

Angelino should definitely leave the team quickly in this month. He has really no use for this team at the moment. I imagined much better things than this about him but he is very inadequate as for defending the attackers on his wing. There isn't a big difference between Angelino and Kazimcan honestly. The only difference is Kazimcan is much younger and needs a little more experience to be more reliable.

Okan Buruk has done the right thing so far by not giving any more chances to Angelino. Because if he played in another game his contract was going to be extended by one more year automatically.

Galatasaray will play the Konyaspor match tomorrow with a very small squad. There were reports that Icardi had a fracture in his face, but if the Super Cup match was played in Arabia, Icardi would have played.
Most likely, Galatasaray club is having difficulty paying the players. For this reason, players may not have wanted to play.
Angelino could not make the desired contribution. Angelino's form has been in decline since leaving Leipzig.
He came to Galatasaray with high hopes, but could not meet the expectations. I like it offensively, but after the attack, the back part is very empty and Galatasaray has problems in defense.
When the interim transfer period comes, it seems that players such as Angelino and Ndombele will leave the team.

Torreira and Boey will not play in this match as they are suspended. Bakambu and Ziyech will not play as they are playing in the African Cup of Nations. Icardi will not play due to injury. There will be a lot of missing players in the Galatasaray squad. I expect Halil Dervişoğlu to play in this match. He has been waiting for a chance for a long time. He will surely want to use this chance well. On the other hand, Konyaspor is just above the relegation zone. This season they don't have the same performance as last season. I think Galatasaray is the clear favorite in this match.

[MK-74]

I just watched the summary of the Beşiktaş-Kasımpaşa game, Beşiktaş is really bad, they couldn't find many positions.
Kasımpaşa scored easy goals. Beşiktaş will have a really difficult job this year with this squad. I don't see any soul in the players.

[Essential10]

Fenerbahce will dominate possession and create chances against a strong squad, Istanbulspor. Fenerbahce top the league table with 44 points, with Galatasaray second on goal difference with the same points. Fenerbahce have scored 44 goals so far this season. Istanbulspor will need to put in a strong defensive performance if they wish to get a result against Fenerbahce. However, given their recent form and the strength of their opponents, they don't seem to be able to get anything out of this game. Fenerbahce look like clear favorites in today's match and expect them to secure a comfortable win.

[Volgastallion]

The diference between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray with the other teams in the leagues is so much, and this year we dont have a BEsiktas or other team in good shape to cut them some points or at least make them suffer in the games, so is gonna be atwo bands fight until the end without so much emotion, you already know they are gonna win the 80% of the games.

[octopus_gamingg]

Fenerbahce already made my day as I have been able to cash out on XFUN rather fast and neat cuz of them, now I'm waiting on Galatasaray to double my winnings so I can call it a day

[ajanwalker]

Fenerbahçe urgently needs to find a new penalty taker. I guess Tadic will break a career record in penalty misses if he continues at this rate. He could not evaluate the penalty kick in the 65th minute. Also, there has been a serious lack of form lately.
I can say that Cengiz Ünder signaled a return to his old days. By scoring four goals in the Istanbulspor match, he scored four goals in a match for the first time in his career.
Edin Dzeko scored the other goal for Fenerbahçe in the match and Trendyol made the number of goals in the Super League 13.
Fenerbahçe had a good win. Even if it is not certain with this result, İstanbulspor will most likely be relegated to the lower league.

[püsür]

Beşiktaş has signed Fernando Santos. I'm frankly surprised by this good move. He's an A class coach. By the way, this move means that Besiktas will play for the top next year, but I think it is impossible with this squad, it will probably be a very active summer for Besiktas. Fernando Santos is a very good coach and I'm surprised he came to this team when Beşiktaş is in this horrible situation. The new club management have made big promises and this surprise move was very welcomed by the fans.

[xzone]

Cengiz Ünder scored 4 goals, it was a very interesting match. We saw a goal in three consecutive minutes, which is not something we are used to seeing. I thought that Fenerbahçe would win this match easily, but I did not expect that we would see such a different score.
They play as a team that wants to be a champion must play, and they are quite successful. It was an enjoyable night for Fenerbahçe fans when the opponent was weak

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Galatasaray beat Konyaspor comfortably tonight. Our defensive players played almost without making any mistakes. Our goalkeeper Fernando Muslera also played great. I was a bit worried before the game because we had a lot of injured and suspended players. But we won by playing well and we didn't give Konyaspor any scoring opportunities.

Also, I want to congratulate Okan Buruk, he put Kazimcan into the game and put Baris in the striker's box, then gave Zaha a free role. Zaha scored after these changes. Thanks to Okan Buruk's tactical genius, Galatasaray won the game easily today.

Weeks ago, the toughest sides in the Turkish Super Lig played against each other. It was definitely an intense game for both teams as they had in their respective stores what to fight for. The game ended fairly in a goalless draw which only is a sign of how resilient they both were and unwavering too.These sides are good at what they do and they did not also let any factor deprive them of the strength out into the game.

 Galatasaray now has just the Turkish League race to focus on having been knocked out of the Champions league and it's an advantage for them to build up enough capacity to stay out at their top spot and for Fernabache, the struggle is up and they're definitely up to whatsoever task put before  them too. Both teams were confident in winning their games today with good goal margins which only means that they're satisfyingly impressive in their progresses. These two teams have always been an upper hand in the league and maybe it'll be repeated this season as well.

[MK-74]

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray won easily this evening.

The referee made some wrong decisions in the Galatasaray-Konyaspor game.
There is still no change in Kerem Aktürkoğlu. This guy has zero finishing skills.
Abdülkerim was the star of this evening in Galatasaray.

A manager who has coached the national team for years is now heading a club team for the first time. From this perspective, it's a bit of a strange choice. But other than that, they signed a really big name with a great career. I congratulate the Beşiktaş board. No reporter could cover this, it was a completely successful operation.
Portuguese players have generally always been successful in Beşiktaş. With the new manager, we can see Portuguese dominance in the team again. Most of the foreign players are leaving anyway, there will be room in the squad. We also strengthen the Turkish rotation with young players from the infrastructure. The team looks like it will be fine. Now the priority should be to go to the Europa League, so that this team can play to win trophies in every competition next year.

I thought exactly that he was a national team coach for a very long time and how he can be in a Turkish league team. He addressed these questions himself exactly in an interview on 8th of November:

Question: "Do you see yourself more as a club coach or as a national team coach?"

Fernando Santos: "It is difficult to answer this question. I want to go back to club coaching because I know that it is what fulfils my needs, to be with the players every day and help them develop as players and as people. The Poland coaching job was a decision I took too quickly and it was a mistake. Now I want to think calmly, obviously I hope to continue working and I think I have all the conditions for it. I even find it difficult to sit on the sofa because of the lack of adrenaline. I have been in this business since I was 18 years old. I think the longest time I didn't work was 3-4 months. After my experience in Poland, I have decided that I need to calm down and pay attention."

So, it seems like he has a hunger and enthusiasm for something new and something challenging like Besiktas, Turkish League and European competitions Beşiktaş will possibly participate. I agree that with transfers in the season break, Beşiktaş can target the qualifying for the Europa League. New club president seems good so far, therefore this can be achieved.
