Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Princess Leah]

Galatasaray were just very bad today. I don't remember them having a chance that I can call a big one.    They got a little better in the second half but still it wasn't good enough.

Kocaelispor got a well deserved victory at the end. It was a big surprise for probably most people. Kocaelispor actually lost all of their big matches in the league so far. Was this really because of fatigue by Galatasaray players or complacency?

We don't expect Galatasaray to be winning games, tell me an elite Turkish side that's yet to record a loss? Galatasaray did better but it happen their best wasn't just good enough to earn them a point today. Besides the home team was no joke when they face an elite opposition like Galatasaray. If your team is home and playing against a competitive league title favorite? What do you expects? Nothing but the very best performance from your club because there's good odds for a team like Galatasaray to come out ontop. Galatasaray loss and they move on to the next game after the International break.

Well they're still the best in the league currently so I don't expect this lose to weaken them but let them understand that they've raised the bars high for other teams to be well prepared against meeting them so they ought to use this defeat as a lesson never to underrate any team regardless of how weak they feel the team is.

 So I believe they'll take corrections and avoid such from repeating so their rivals especially Fenerbahçe won't further narrow the gap, anyways I'll be dishonest if i say I wasn't suprised by the defeat cause Galatasaray have been in a top form this season and even though they're to lose I wasn't expecting Kocaelispor that's no where close to the top 5 on the table.

Osimhen is given a lot of leniency by referees in Turkey. Despite pushing the referee and vehemently protesting yesterday, he wasn't given a red card for his second yellow card. In any other country, he would have been sent off with a straight red card. Sometimes referees need to be more courageous.

Even though we don't expect Galatasaray to win every match they play this season, Galatasaray isn't supposed to lose against Kocaelispor because they are a weak team that Galatasaray should have defeated easily. Galatasaray dropping three points yesterday has put them at risk of losing their number one position in the Turkish league table.

This honestly came to me by surprise, it was with just a goal difference but it still does sends a message to Galatasaray that they are not invincible just yet, they are to be mindful of smaller teams that are supposed to be a weak side as surprises like this could be their fate next. I want to believe this should be referred to as a lucky day for Kocaelispor because it most obviously looks like it. Galatasaray still has the top position with just a point difference one which is very very risky if they are aiming to get the title this season.

For some reason(!), certain players seem to have immunity in the league. They never receive cards for their actions, and their fouls are overlooked. And for some reason(!), no one, including the media, speaks out against this. Only fans of other teams try to shout the truth, but their voices can only be heard on social media. Those who mock us when we demand justice cast a shadow over the potential victories they might achieve through their injustices. History records all of this, detailing not just who won but how they won. Those who don't want their names tarnished will oppose these actions. In an unfair race, who wins is irrelevant.

Fenerbahçe started the match against Kayserispor at a slow pace but scored quick goals by capitalizing on their attacks. The team was very good at finishing in this match and made good use of the spaces they found. As time went on, Tedesco began to improve the team's cohesion and started to implement his plan.

In my opinion, the stars of the match were Asensio and Fred. Fred, in particular, made up for the playing time he missed in previous matches. He is in good physical shape. I could criticize Tedesco for his substitutions. Even though Jhon Duran didn't feel ready, he could have brought Duran on instead of En Nesyri in this match. Because En Nesyri was the least effective player on the field.

En-Nesyri doesn't deserve to be in the starting 11 for Fenerbahçe. I don't even think they should keep him at the team. They should have been sold already. He just can't use his feet effectively. He is useful only for headers.

This kind of forwards are really boring in modern football. I've heard that some Saudi Arabia teams are again interested in making a big offer for him. Fenerbahçe officials shouldn't miss the opportunity to get rid of him. The fans are already fed up with his clumsiness.

Fenerbahçe definitely need to sign a striker during the mid-season break.
If they see En-Nesyri as a proper striker, they must be mistaken, because he hardly shows any of the qualities you’d expect from one.

With a new striker and a solid defender in January, they could really improve their performance, because in my opinion, those are the two areas where they’re currently struggling the most.

In the Turkish Süper Lig, the names of several players involved in betting activities have been revealed. The list includes:

From Galatasaray: Eren Elmalı and Metehan Baltacı

From Beşiktaş: Ersin Destanoğlu and Necip Uysal

From Trabzonspor: Boran Başkan and Salih Malkoçoğlu

In total, 27 players from the Süper Lig have been identified.

It was reported that these players placed bets, but it has not yet been clarified whether they bet on their own matches or on other games. The investigation is still ongoing, and more details are expected in the coming days.

So far, the names of 1,024 players have been included in the overall investigation, and as a result, TFF 2nd and 3rd League matches have been postponed for two weeks.

The referee at that match still respected him, maybe afraid or something so he didn't dare to issue a red card against Osimhen, I think the referee was more precisely afraid of Osimhen. LOL

Of course that referee should be more assertive and brave, not to be easily intimidated by the players he set the match.

Unfortunately Galatasaray still lost.

I was so surprised yesterday to see how the match between Galatasaray and Kocaelispor ended. I wasn't expecting a defeat especially when Galatasaray are in their best performance but we shouldn't forget football is full of surprises. Anything can win has exceeded England meaning Premier League, before is in England that you see a bottom team making it hard for the top team to pass through, bottom team defeat top teams. This was why Victor was very angry but to be honest I don't like that behavior he did to the referee, Osimhen should know that, to be successful player you have to control yourself no matter how the game goes.

Fenerbahçe have managed to catch up with Galatasaray before even reaching mid-season. The point difference is only 1 now. It must be enough signal for Okan Buruk to realize the threat as of now.

For around 2 weeks there is no league match because of the international break. I really wonder how strong these 2 teams will return to the title race.

Galatasaray still has the strongest squad but they need to focus more on the matches. There is a big difference between their performances between the league and CL.

[ingiltere]

I liked the game against Antalyaspor, a team that didn't retreat too much after scoring a goal, a team that was still in control of the game. They wanted more and they scored. Beşiktaş always need to do this. After scoring, they need to keep attacking to open the gap. It's obvious that we are not very good at keeping the score. So we need to open the gap as much as possible and make the games more comfortable.
The point difference will slowly melt away. Beşiktaş have to be assertive towards the end of the season.

The difference is probably a factor, Okan Buruk hadn't considered that the points gap would narrow.
We might even surpass Galatasaray by midseason. They've dropped points in the last two matches, and dropping a few more would be a great advantage and would be very beneficial to Fenerbahçe.
Galatasaray may be the strongest team in the league, but they're doing exceptionally well in the Champions League. It's not easy to manage both the league and the Champions League simultaneously.
I don't think Okan Buruk can handle this, which is why they've started dropping points in the league.

I honestly didnt expect that Fenerbahce to catch up i was thinking the league was already over when Galatasaray won all of those games. But i think Galatasaray focused too much on the champions league and thats why i think Fenerbahce catched up just because of that. Now it will be intresting between those two teams and we might have a close finish

In any other country, he would have been sent off with a straight red card. Sometimes referees need to be more courageous.

It's not about the league, even in some other leagues, the referee might decide to overlook what he did, it is something about the person as a referee whether to dash out a second yellow or not. How do you feel about the player receiving a red card and are one man down, or were they playing against your own club? Nevertheless, Galatasaray lost the game.

Antalya fans reacted strongly to Emre Belözoğlu, but the problem isn't Emre. The team lacks money. The transfers are of poor quality. Emre resigned at the end of last year, but they convinced him to leave. He was forced to leave during the season.
Erol Bulut arrived, but he's already regretting his arrival.
They only defeated Eyüpspor away. (Luck was on Antalya's side in that match, otherwise the victory would have been a pipe dream.)
I hope Antalyaspor doesn't get relegated. The loss to Beşiktaş isn't a big deal.
A special note should be made about Antalya fans. Even though tickets for the cup match were 7 TL, the stands were empty.
The people of Antalya are not supporting their team.
If this continues, Antalya will be relegated to the lower league.

Osimhen started the show with a yellow card and I think the ref wasn't sure of what to do with him or he felt it was pointless in giving him a red card in that game and is not about being courageous or whatever the case might be, I think there was no need for that card to be shown to the striker, but I don't think it too much for him to get a second yellow card and a red, these guys was frustrated especially when Osimhen's goal was disallowed in that encounter and if it was 1-1 I believe the pressure would have been on the host team because we all know how Galatasaray plays when they're having that hunger to get a goal for an equalizer, it did work out the way they expected and they lost the game to Kocaelispor by a goal to nothing.

If the team has no fans, it has no chance of success in the league. Until a few years ago, we saw Antalyaspor fans online; now, the stands have been empty for a long time, and the team may not be captivating the public due to a lack of good players.
If they continue playing this way, they'll start to find themselves in the relegation zone. They haven't earned any points in recent weeks; they're in a truly dire situation

Dude, I watched the Beşiktaş match last weekend. The stands were practically empty. I saw that Antalya is a terrible team. Antalya's first serious attack came in the 50th minute, and Antalyaspor scored.

Beşiktaş created chances in the first half that could have given Antalyaspor a significant lead, but they only capitalized on two of them.

Antalya is a terrible team. If Beşiktaş had dropped a point against Antalyaspor, Sergen Yalçın would have been heavily criticized.

Beşiktaş easily took the three points.

[trendcoin]

Beşiktaş got an easy win thanks to their early goal, but they still have a long way to go to become a flawless team. Beşiktaş had a high ball possession rate in the first half of the match. This gave them the chance to control the pace of the game. The early goal also boosted their confidence. However, they couldn't take it to the next level due to mistakes in defense...

Beşiktaş can win matches with the quality of their individual players, but they still have many problems to overcome in becoming a team. Hopefully, Sergen will achieve this as soon as possible...

Fenerbahçe really started sluggishly but after scoring the first goal they played really well. They continued pressing strongly even after the goal kept the control of the game. They could win this game but in my opinion they need to find some good alternative pivot strikers instead of En-Nesyri and Szymanski during winter transfer time. it is dream to be successful either in turkish league or europe with them.
