Galatasaray played a poor game compared to their recent performances.
They conceded a goal after a ridiculous pass from the goalkeeper.
A team like galatasaray should have beaten rizespor by a bigger margin.
The pitch was in terrible condition, don't they do any maintenance?

I'm surprised with the sacking of Jose Mourinoh because I didn't expect it to happen so soon, Fenerbache's performance in the Champions League qualifier is not Jose Mourinoh's fault; sacking Jose Mourinoh immediately after being eliminated by Benfica will not change anything; Fenerbahçe players are not good enough to compete in the Champions League, which is why they didn't qualify, They tried against Benfica, but they should have tried more, defended better, and won the game. Although the manager should be blame for the team's performance, Fenerbache lacked quality players.

In as much as the sack did come to me as a surprise, I still see another side of it in that they are now beginning to see and understand that mourinho was actually  a good coach but has gradually gotten past his prime and there is a limit to how much he can be able  to activate  as a coach that he is at this point and probably they are not willing  to risk it with him based on what they are hoping  to achieve this season  which I consider pretty fine as at this time they may not have quality players but even their performance did not show they have a good chance even in their domestic league so to a far good extent their actions can be understood from my point of view.

In first four games of this season, they are on balanced in attack while their defense surely needed to be had some improvement because in this last game relegation zone team score goal against them which is big setback for them but still they are on good run after 4 games 12 points and 13 goals mean things are working.

Icardi and Osimhen on goalscorers sheet which is good encouragement for them because things will be on positive in coming days when UEFA Champions League is going to start I was also expecting nearly 4 to 5 goals but due to poor pitch things were not balanced and players were also not comfortable hopefully Galatasaray management will do something about this in coming matches.

Galatasaray secured their fourth win in their last four matches. Their winning streak continues. Despite Galatasaray's 3-1 victory over Çaykur Rizespor yesterday, they created numerous scoring opportunities for Rizespor. Rize's first goal, curiously, was ruled offside. I don't know how or who determines these offside lines, but the goal was ruled out for a very slight offside.
Rize played well and didn't deserve the loss, but unfortunately, there's no justice in football.
Osimhen and Icardi scored. They haven't been idle this week either.
Sane still hasn't performed as expected. If this situation continues for another month or two, he could be benched.

As for me, I wouldn’t say that they played poorly yesterday, but the truth is that they did not perform as well as many had expected. This is because our expectations were so high toward them, based on their recent matches and the kind of results we had gotten so far.

So, yesterday, I was expecting Galatasaray to find the match easy to win, score many goals, and also keep a clean sheet  based on the fact that Rizespor is not up to their standard in any aspect. But still, they tried; they scored three goals and secured the three points.

What I’ve come to understand about football is that things don’t always go as easily as people expect with some strong teams.. That’s because every team has its own tactics, and with that, no matter how weak a team may seem, with good tactics they can make it hard for the stronger teams.So, teams are not the same, and people should not expect the same level of performance from Galatasaray in every match.

Interestingly, the pitches in Türkiye are very poor. The stadiums look great, but the pitches are extremely poor.

I don't think the issue is just the heat. If it were just the heat, Arabia would be hotter. I watch the Saudi League matches and the pitches are very nice. I watched the Al Tawon vs. Al Nassr match the other day. The pitch was fantastic. The biggest reason for this may be that the grass doesn't get enough sunlight. For example, most of Kasımpaşa's stadium is open, but the pitch pitch there is also nice.

one of the most interesting transfers in turkish football history was finalized today. kerem aktürkoğlu, who transferred from galatasaray to benfica one season ago, will now play for fenerbahçe. this is a very interesting situation because during his time at galatasaray, he played fiercely and determinedly against fenerbahçe, and there were even fenerbahçe players who cursed him after derbies.

i don't know how his career will progress from this point on, because he will face significant backlash after playing for fenerbahçe. additionally, he was the one who scored the goal that prevented fenerbahçe from qualifying for the champions league just last week. therefore, he himself will also be unable to play in the champions league. it's just, hard to explain.

It was one of the most intriguing scenarios possible. He'll be playing for the team he was eliminated from for scoring, and he no longer has a chance to play in the Champions League. Transferring to Fenerbahçe was, in my opinion, one of the most absurd things he could have done for his career. But he chose to do it.

For Fenerbahçe fans to love him, he needs to play brilliantly, or he won't gain their support. It's also absurd and intriguing that this is one of the most expensive transfers ever. Fenerbahçe has signed much bigger, world-class players for much less money, including many top-tier players like Anelka, Ortega, and Alex.

Galatasaray was expected to perform better than their performance in the game but despite winning by 3:1 their opponent was not a good opponent that should have scored the team if not for the error from the poor goal keeping by the keeper, Galatasaray remains unbeaten in the league and the issue of scoring goals should be utilized when they play opponents that are weak like Rizespor.

[emrecemsan]

Interesting moves by Fenerbahce in only a couple of days.    They've intervened for Ederson and it's said personal terms agreed with the player already. Only an agreement on the transfer fee is left.

Asensio is also close to signing for them finally. I have only 1 thing to criticize about their policy. Why did they sign Kerem for €25m? It makes nonsense to me. It's a quite big risk to take if you ask me.

I was thinking that Besiktas will win Alanyaspor today but they couldn't, instead they lost 2:0. The league is in the fourth week but Besiktas has only played 2 games after two of the matches were postponed, the first was against Kayserispor while the second was against Konyaspor. Teams like Besiktas are teams that are supposed to be looked up to challenging the title with Galatasaray but with this lose against Alanyaspor it's surely a setback in their campaign for the title this season.

I was also expecting Trabzonspor to win Samsunspor so that they can still have same points with Galatasaray but sadly the goal they scored since first half was equalized in the last minutes of the game and they ended in a 1:1 draw which gave Galatasaray the opportunity to rock 12 points at the top of the table, 2 points above Trabzonspor who is second in the table.

The thing is that a higher team influence has some roles to play, Galatasaray wasn't a better version of themselves in that match but what matters is that winning and they got it, everything you narrated is part of football, sometimes when a big team is playing with teams that is not their equals, despite not playing as we were expecting in that match, Galatasaray remains one of the best team in Turkish league, collecting the 3points is what matters and they got it, any other thing is now history although I expect them to do more better than they did in that match.

[LGD2Business]

The game is terrible. The team can't score. El Bilal couldn't score into an empty net, Tammy couldn't even get into position, Mario can't hit the ball in front of him. The wings aren't working, the fullbacks aren't contributing to the attack, the center backs are constantly letting players get behind them. There can be no excuse for playing like this. Maybe half the players need to be sent away. We've entered September and I can't remember a league start this bad in 30 years.

Except you have a very higher expectation I believe Galatasaray performed well in this game, winning by three goals was a good enough victory, a team does not have to win by several numerous goals to be considered to have won well, Galatasaray is still unbeaten and most likely will for the longest.  I know it was a weak team they played against but even the week teams do have a way if at least defending  their side so as to reduce  the number of goals they concedes so we should not be expecting they would have scored too many goals and the opposition would just let them without a defence.

What matters in football is the consistency in winning which is what Galatasaray is comfortably doing. There were some lapses in the team especially towards the end of the match but such did not result in any significant difference for the team. As long as the Turkish Super League is concern, Galatasaray will not face any serious resistance this season, where I'm for them is in the European competitions.

Sane still hasn't performed as expected. If this situation continues for another month or two, he could be benched.

In my opinion, the most important thing is that they won and managed to score 3 goals. Look, something very incredible is that Galatasaray played 4 games and in all 4 games they managed to score at least 3 goals or more. This is something very incredible, it shows that they have a strong and consistent attack. If they stay like this, I have no doubt that they can become champions again. Especially because it seems to me that in this league they have no opponents, so I see no reason to worry, at least Galatasaray fans have reason to celebrate. While I, as a Fenerbahce fan, wonder who will be the next coach who will make the team become champions.

This isn't incredible Galatasaray's opponents are just ordinary teams. Look at Galatasaray's players, and there are players like Osimhen, Sara, and Icardi. Players of this caliber would certainly score goals with ease. If they didn't, that would be a sign of a problem.

Galatasaray could collect a significant amount of points in the league this season because its toughest opponents, Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, have experienced managerial problems and were forced to change managers in the opening weeks.

I believe they usually do maintenance on the pitch because that's how others usually do, sometimes when they notice that the temperature is a bit high they usually water the pitch before second half will resume so that it will be easy for the players and doesn't affect them so actually on this one it could be that they did not do that, although even so i didn't notice it to be a  challenge for them because Rizespor still got the lost and Galatasaray became the winner, even if struggles indicate sometimes on Galatasaray but they're better than any club now and they have not lost since beginning.

[el kaka22]

To be fair, they looked like they didn't even care. It's obvious that we are seeing them looking like they are not caring about the league when it's against some weaker teams, and proven by the point is the game result. They didn't even care, played poorly compared to what they can do, and yet they still won easily. That alone should be good enough to provide proof how they do not have to play their best because they can still win.

To be perfectly honest, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce reached a level in this league where it's seriously boring for them to play here, sure they do lose points here and there, but it is literally guaranteed for them to be champions and second place, so who would really care about some small minor game.

Fenerbahçe secured a comfortable victory last night. This was exactly the kind of football Fenerbahçe should be playing.
Parting ways with Mourinho had a positive effect on the team.
It was also a busy night for Fenerbahçe. Kerem Aktürkoğlu arrived, reports say they reached an agreement with Marco Asensio, and the biggest news was about goalkeeper Ederson. Despite Galatasaray’s interest, it’s said that Fenerbahçe have reached a full agreement with Ederson and with Manchester City as well. Tomorrow is the last day to submit the European squad list, let’s see who else will join.

Sergen Yalçın's first match with Beşiktaş ended in defeat. Honestly, even if the best coach in the world managed this team, nothing could be achieve with this squad. Unfortunately, that’s the reality.
