Fenerbahçe collapse in free fall

By: j | October 5th, 2008

Fenerbahçe’s collapse continued with a 4-1 destruction at the hands of Kayserispor in front of loyal supporters at Şükrü Saracoğlu. In a stunning display of power, the Anatolian Tigers never let Fenerbahçe in the match. Julius Aghahowa opened the scoring at the twenty-first minute and doubled the score three minutes before the break. Roberto Carlos drew one back fourteen minutes after the break with a penalty strike but still the visitors were controlling play. Turgay Bahadır returned the two goal advantage for Kayserispor before Julius Aghahowa added his third of the match to make it 4-1.

The loss sends the Yellow Canaries to twelfth in the table a full ten points behind Trabzonspor after six matches. More importantly it severely questions how long Luis Aragonés will be in-charge and in-fact if this situation is still controllable. Rumours are running rampant, with Mr. Aragonés denying he is resigning but with this loss management may be forced to make a move. Whether the clubs makes a move now or considers a move now is a debatable point as is whether they consider local coaches such as Tolunay Kafkas or Bülent Uygun.

Fenerbahçe
Volkan Demirel,Gökhan Gönül (Yasin Çakmak 39′),Önder Turacı,Roberto Carlos,Uğur Boral, Edu Dracena,Selçuk Şahin,Claudio Maldonado (Deniz Barış 45′),Emre Belözoğlu (İlhan Parlak 42′),Kâzım Kâzım,Daniel Güiza

The Yellow Canaries return to action against Kocaelispor on the 19th after the international break. Please make sure you visit the Turkish World Cup blog and show your support.

I will be off to a series of matches/practices during the international week. I am unsure if I will be able to post during this time but will return on the following Monday. Thank you for your patience.

    No good,no good.Aragones still did not adopted his system to the team.Dude,you’ve failed.Fenerbahçe needs a long time alone,so that players can understand their manager,and the manager can understand them.Aragones acts like he’s in Spain,but someone should show him the realities of our country.

    Maybe,he’s the firestarter of a fall.Fall of Yıldırım?After all those seaons,maybe its his time to break it up?Who knows.

    Aghaowa strike lucky and threw all current board,squad and manager.

    I hope you can overwhelm it.
