Stadium: Ankara 19 Mayıs
Ref: Cüneyt Çakır
Injuries: Ümit Karan, Yalçın Ayhan, Hasan Kabze
Weather: Clear sky, 37 degree celcius during the day, 21 during the night.


And the league starts again. After our victory last season I'm sure many will be curious to see what our team will achieve this season. We kickoff with the away match against Ankaraspor who strengthened their team with Ayhan Devran and Anil Tasdemir. They lost Musa Buyuk, Ersen Martin to Trabzonspor and Hasan Yigit to Bursaspor. We are with three new players like most of you will know, Tolga Seyhan, Okan Buruk and Marcello Carrusca. We got rid of Alioum Saidou who went to France.
Let's hope Gerets learned from his mistakes and doesn't start an unexperienced Mehmet Guven from the start in important league fixtures. We'll probably start with the same formation we did last season. With two strikers upfront, Hakan and Necati, Ilic behind them and two wingers, Hasan on right, Sabri, Ayhan or Carrusca on left. That leaves the central defensive midfield position to Okan, Mehmet Guven or maybe again for Ayhan. In defence I'd like Gerets to resort to last years centrebacks Song and Tomas. I'm not totally convinced Tolga is the man to go with atm. The fullback positions will be for Cihan and Orhan again I guess.

Actually Orhan has an injury and he is just starting trainings nowadays, so he will not play for sure...According to the reports, Gerets is trying Cihan for DM at the trainings, and thats where i'd rather see him than RB...That means Arda will be starting for RB...
Ankaraspor lost a bunch of players, they also sent their Serbian goalie Jevric, Kingston will replace him...If we can stop their brazilians, Wederson and Jaba, i reckon we can get a comfortable win...

According to Lig TV, Carrusca will start and Cihan will play as defensive midfielder.

Sounds to me like we could have, considering the current injuries, something that looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------
-------------------Mondragon------------------
---Song-------Tolga------Tomas----Orhan------
---------------------Cihan---------------------
---Hasan---------------------------Carrusca---
---------------------Ilic-----------------------
-------------Necati---------Sukur-------------

I will put this again, Orhan just recovered from his long term injury which kept him out of all pre-season trainings and matches, it is almost impossible that he will be starting for this game, and no way that Gerets will put Song in the RB, my guess is Tolga will be warming the bench while Tomas and Song starts in the centre back, and Arda will be the RB, if that happens i'm really excited to see Hasan and Arda creating something on the right wing...

ferhat to play left back, while sabri will realisticly take right back... i wish arda turan could fit in, but if it comes down to it, sabri will take the right back position..

most likely our formation will look like this:

------------Hakan----------Necati-----------

Chelo----------------İlic--------------Hasan

--------------------Cihan-------------------

Ferhat------Song---------Tomas--------Arda

- carrusca wont be starting, he'll be making a second half appearance..
- orhan should be playing
- song and tomas should be playing center back

this is all according to ligtv...

alright at 21:00, long time from now, cant wait though.. i think we'll start off slow, but a little into the game we should have dominance on the ball.. hopefully we win this...

if we're winning by the time carrusca comes in, i hope he puts on a show like delgado did against us in the super cup..
 
#18 ·
god damn im excited...

btw, ankaraspor have made some good transfers... seriously this is going to be a tough match...

HADI CIMBOMBOM

i love how the league is starting its games later... i hate watching matches during the day, playing in the night with the stadium's light makes it more official ;)

necati is the worst penalty taker ever what the ****! he always misses what is he taking them for!!!!!!!!!

carrusca and mehmet guven have been terrible so far...

only song and ferhat are playing decently...

carrusca isnt a winger... he belongs in the middle, i hope gerets sees this... if hes going to play on the wing, might as well keep him on the bench and let arda play...
