@Jamie:...KO is at 19:00, Jim. See you there then. <br /><br />@Jamie: Precisely. I think we can all pretty much count Kasımpasa out, but Buca and Konya still have the potential to make life uncomfortable for us. That it why I am hoping for a tie in this wknd.'s match between Buca and Konya. :)Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-68006035593887209702011-02-09T18:05:01.542+02:002011-02-09T18:05:01.542+02:00Thanks Oz.

They really did a remarkable job apart from those lapses. I don't know if there was a team in the league that could have withstood what Kayseri threw at them in the last twenty minutes. The Fenerbahçe Kayseri match is definitely the match to watch this wknd. <br /><br />Let's hope the Buca Konya match is a tie.Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-69785793724419424242011-02-07T12:20:13.605+02:002011-02-07T12:20:13.605+02:00Excellent report Damon.

Jim's eyes fog up anytime you and Jamie's names are mentioned. But we understand. After all, you do have the world's greatest pastrami on rye right around the corner--oh, and your family, of course. <br /><br />@Nadeem: My point is simply that if you can defend for 75 minutes, you can defend for 90, or 95 for that matter. Whatever the deficit is, be it physical or mental or a combination, it needs to be dealt with. Is that not a good part of the manager's job? If your team keeps making the same mistakes, then you have to identify the cause and work on it until it is no longer a weak point. <br /><br />It doesn't seem to me to be a matter of talent. We've got players (apart from the likes of Mehmet) good enough to go out there and get it right, but there is a major weak link which makes me want to chant...<br /><br />Buraya, buraya, Roger Lemerre buraya...<br /><br />Buraya, buraya, Roger Lemerre buraya...<br /><br />PS: the three players closest to the goal when the pass was launched to Zalayeta were Duruer to Zalayeta's left, Metin and Klukowski to his right.Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-52131279255059759122011-02-07T00:48:36.531+02:002011-02-07T00:48:36.531+02:00Something is truly rotten in Ankara these days.Something is truly rotten in Ankara these days.Connect Kankanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-52502846664317926382011-02-06T23:51:25.417+02:002011-02-06T23:51:25.417+02:00Think it was Klukowski oz, Yeah damon as you say w...Think it was Klukowski oz, Yeah damon as you say we can defend for large spells, but that doesnt matter if you keep conceding silly goals, all it if you have 89 good minutes as a defender, and then in 1 minute you make a silly mistake, you havent done your job properly. <br /><br />You can tell the players do like him, but as you say its the rsults that matter.

As a matter of fact, Rajnoch had pretty much shut Zalayeta down, but, and this is a big but, it all fell apart at the end which is pretty much what happened against Manisa as well. <br /><br />Is it a matter of poor conditioning? I mean Umit certainly doesn't lead by example in that area. Yes, I know he has a heart condition. All the more reason to keep fit. <br /><br />Or is it a matter or concentration? If so, they really need someone to help them work on their mental game. <br /><br />I think the players honestly like Umit, but the job of the manager is not to be liked but to get results. <br /><br />They are definitely an ill disciplined bunch at the moment. And as the Turkish proverb goes, "the fish stinks from the head down."Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-38888360762108210732011-02-06T18:30:32.559+02:002011-02-06T18:30:32.559+02:00just saw the goals, utterly disgusting defending e...just saw the goals, utterly disgusting defending expecially the second one.
