Fenerbahce got an important win against Slavia Prague despite missing players. If Fenerbahce had lost in this match, their chances of progressing in the European Cup would have been very difficult, but with this win, hopes were raised again. In the first half of the match, there was no joyful football. In the second half, on the contrary, Fenerbahce's football became more enjoyable with Mourinho's moves. However, Fenerbahce's defense is alarming.
Especially the stoppers are very stagnant and they have problems covering the opposition players. There must be reinforcements in the defense at halftime. If the right reinforcements are not made, Fenerbahce's chances of progressing in this tournament are very difficult. Mourinho's old time excitement and tactical understanding must come back. Because there are millions of fans who trust him.
That victory was very crucial to Fernerbahce but the fact remains that they are still not serious to remain in the tournament. A victory is a victory no matter how it happens but they shouldn't allow that undeserved victory to mislead them. They are not playing games that give their supporters hope despite they have more squad quality than their opponent, they played below average and allowed Slavia Prague to take control of the game.
The first half performance was very terrible but they were very lucky Prague did not also play indifferently. There is absolutely nothing their left back could do. Hardly they made three successful passes in a row for almost 100 minutes they played. That shows how bad they have become. Despite everything, the result is perfect for them thou.
