Argentinian player Mauro Icardi, who plays for Galatasaray, which dropped points in two of the last three league matches, had been the target of criticism. It was stated that the problem at Galatasaray is not solely Icardi, and the ongoing crises were put on the table.
Before the Trabzonspor match, Galatasaray, which was 7 points ahead of Fenerbahçe but could not prevent the gap from dropping to 2 points after dropping points in two of the last three matches, saw its Argentine player Mauro Icardi become the target of criticism from the fans. It was stated that the problem at Galatasaray was not only Icardi, and the recent crises experienced by the yellow-reds were put on the table.
OKAN BURUK'S LACK OF FORM
At Galatasaray, which won the championship in the last 3 seasons, coach Okan Buruk has started making changes in the squad almost every match. Okan Buruk, who came close to losing many of his players, especially Icardi, could not find a solution to the poor football in recent weeks.
NO PLAN B WITHOUT OSIMHEN
Galatasaray's strength almost halves in matches without Victor Osimhen. In matches without Osimhen, Galatasaray, which faced major difficulties, could not get the expected contributions from Icardi and Barış Alper, who got chances in place of the Nigerian player.
SATURATION AND FATIGUE
Galatasaray, which focused more on the Champions League, did not give the necessary importance to the Süper Lig. Saturation within the team is felt in Kemerburgaz, and there is no reaction in matches where they struggle. Injuries have also increased along with fatigue due to the intense pace.
NO SCORING CONTRIBUTION FROM THE BENCH
In the last 3 championships, the scoring contribution from players coming off the bench was important. The yellow-reds, who received many contributions from substitute players in previous seasons, could not get the desired efficiency from the bench this season.
