Recent Galatasaray Soccer Form

Galatasaray 0 - 0 Ankaraspor
Bordeauz 2 - 1 Galatasaray
Denizlispor 1 - 2 Galatasaray
Galatasaray 2 - 1 Denizlispor
Gaziantepspor 1 -1 Galatasaray

With those results, Galatasaray's soccer record is 2-2-2. Not great form for a soccer team who is leading the Turkcell Super Lig. What's to blame though? Is it Erek Gerets? Is it the team? The morale? The soccer ball itself? Or just plain old fatigue and tiredness from playing 5 games in 3 weeks? You tell me.

Galatasaray 4 - 0 Caykur Rizespor
Slaven 1 - 2 Galatasaray
Bursaspor 0 - 1 Galatasaray
Galatasaray 1 - 0 Ankaragucu

4-0-0. The start of this soccer season. A good start to the season, and only conceding a single goal, coming from the UEFA Cup 2nd qualifying round. It was a good start, but not the best. In the first 3 weeks of the Turkish soccer season they were scoring on average 2 goals per game, but look at the scores. 3 out of 4 of them were won by a single goal. Is it a surprise that now when our opponents begin to score on us that were no longer winning the games? And now were relying on late goals to get us points.....again....

What's the cause of it? Everyone has their own opinion. But the fact of the matter is that the multiple simultaneous injuries are having their effects on the soccer team. This shouldn't be though. We are relying to heavily on specific players. The bench should be more than skilled and talented enough to come in for their position. They should be good enough to make the starting 11. Whatever they do, they need to get back on a winning streak if they want to continue to play soccer in the UEFA Cup. There's no more time, this was the last game they could afford to give up. Sivasspor is tied for first in the league, we lost our 1st game in the UEFA Cup, and our next game is this Thursday. It's now or never. Return to the elite of european soccer......return.
