In the evaluations made, the vital importance of the upcoming critical European match for the club's future and the head coach's position was emphasized.
Bülent Timurlenk's Roma Analysis
Bülent Timurlenk stated that İsmail Kartal remained inadequate in his derby analysis and that Roma, managed by Gasperini who started the league like a storm, are in extremely good form.
Timurlenk emphasized that a similar lapse in concentration by the yellow-navy team would certainly not be forgiven and that they must be very cautious against the opponent's strength.
Levent Tüzemen's 'Things Will Shake Up' Statement
Levent Tüzemen reminded that Roma have won three out of three in the league and stated that if Fenerbahçe loses a match at home, things will shake up.
Tüzemen also claimed that President Aziz Yıldırım's post-match statements were an indication that the head coach did not train the team sufficiently.
Communication and Squad Criticisms
Levent Tüzemen drew attention to head coach İsmail Kartal's lack of a foreign language and pointed out that he experienced some problems while communicating with star players within the team.
Ahmet Çakar's Emphasis on Strategic Mistake

Ömer Üründül's Game Structure Evaluation
Ömer Üründül, on the other hand, said that Fenerbahçe's biggest fundamental problem is the absence of a number 10 player with the strength and capacity required by modern football today.
Üründül added that a compact game must definitely be exhibited on the pitch against a well-form Roma and that this is essential for success.
