    The reason most of us wrote vakif off in the beginning of the season was their reception line especially when derya had to play to use yuan in the middle. So against the best serving team in the world they wouldn’t stand a chance. But vakif has managed to improved quite well in reception and defence enough to nullify the serve pressure of fener whose serve was no longer able to cover their own defects in reception and defence, which turns out to be far worse than vakif’s. Kudos to gui and the gals making many of us eat our then somewhat accurate criticism and predictions early on. But i advise to hold your horses because imoco is much better at reception thanx to the dream duo of de gennaro-gabi. It wont be impossible but surely an uphill battle

    It's not like Ayca, Derya, and Markova are defensive stalwarts (compared to someone with Gizem's reputation). Fenerbahce had a 10% higher rate of digs that resulted in an attack on the same amount of digs as VakifBank.


    Fenerbahce's offense is bland. And they can't just do highballs like Markova is doing.

    fener had zero pipe attack lately. That makes a world of difference for vakif otoh. Slide attacks are not clicking for some reason either. And apart from kvr’s bombs, i’d rather call vakif aces horrible reception errors by feners golden duo. Fener is stuck like in middle income trap like ecza was stuck with hande. They cant jump a level unless they offload an already great certain asset or this asset magically becomes great at reception/defence

    Both she and Deniz uyanık had very good seasons before coming to Vakıfbank but unfortunately neither of two could live up to expectations. We have Begüm Kaçmaz who will be next big thing in Turkey watch her in Firenze next season if you can

    I worry begüm en berka might stagnate unless they grow taller. Not every short mbs can be carols

    ahhhh

    The bitterness of fenerbahce fans. :lol:

    She has been a major player for your team since she arrived and now she's for the streets just because she's having a bad phase?

    Was she overrated when she carried your team for how many years?

    crovolley is no fener fan lol. She is a turkish league hater, seria A fanboy. Do you just dump your long brewed opinion at first chance without fact checking?

    between that and the viral post of ilkin not holding the banner for some kind of police anniversary things always take such a weird and extremely hostile turn when you try and go through their comments. it's giving me a headache

    i advise you never scroll through comments. Everyone on social media loves a punchline which is usually hostile. SM isn’t the place you find nuanced opinions. That’s why i follow this forum for opinions. It is comparatively more sterile

    You are both right in your own right. It’s just most users including you guys resort to “fallacy of composition”. There are just all sorts of comments and all sorts of fans. And like 99% of people in the world, i don’t trust them to be objective and fair

    Kuzeyboru will be worse than this year. No balance. I feel somehow they are not linking together well but thanks to their individual qualities they will finish in top 8.

    I agree. lazareva was truly a signing of the season. Kurillo was a unicorn so was dimitrova. All three are now gone. They seem not to solve their depth problem with their OH department especially in terms of reception. It is highly unlikely that the incoming transfers can repeat what their predecessors accomplished.

    I just skimmed some maybe first 10 comments and all were general criticism on expected reception woes. Not directed toward a single player but including all (read the local duo). There might be more hostile ones i presume given the adolescent nature of the turkish volleyball following behind anonymous accounts. But diminishing all opinions to hating cyrnyianska is a fallacy. This OH line up seems on paper very very unstable.

    Kuzeyboru making smart trasfer moves for 3rd year in a row.

    Lozo/Czyrnianska isn’t gonna work, or is it?
    Is Sara done deal for them?
    Anyways, I’m excited Czyrna is staying in Turkey, many young talents from 02/03/04 generations make league interesting and more appealing :drink:

    People are bashing them online asking rightfully who is gonna receive though.

    The key was the second set. I didn’t get how vakıf won that set after a very one sided first. Noone believed fener would lose this and yet it happened.


    On the format, second year in a row, fan favorites couldn’t play a single game between each other. No fener-conegliano this season either. No scandicci/milano- fener. Prolly no imoco-ecza. This format sucks. We need to have round robin!
