Managed to watch the game eventhough my girlfriend was here :P she's gotten an extra week off hence my abscence so far.

I'll be "afk" for atleast a few more days.

Concerning this game...

Imo, Trabzon deserved the win. Our defense looked terrible, Sidnei alone gifted Burak 2-3 100 % chances or so... without Egemen it's a mess back there.

Though I feel we could've won this game still, after the (at that point in my opinion undeserved) 1-0 we had momentum and could've gotten a second goal. But that didn't happen and on top of that Almeida got a knee injury which will probably put him out for the away game in Madrid aswell.


I'm sure of one thing, if we play like this against Atlético we'll get punished severely. Falcao won't miss what Burak missed. Let's pray that Egemen is fit enough to play that game. I think Sidnei shows that he has got a lot of talent, you can see that clearly in his one on one situations with opposition players. (The way he maneuvred Burak off the ball a few times was impressive) but at the same time you can clearly see that he has absolutely no automatism with the rest of the team and that resulted in some wayward passes that went straight to the opposition and lead to dangerous chances for them.


We can make a cross across the championship. The most important thing now is securing a EL/CL ticket for next season.
