Fenerbahce failed to protect their lead for the second time in the match against Samsun, ending in a draw.

This season, Fenerbahce has dropped points in all three matches where they conceded goals, and the match against Samsun marked the second time they couldn’t hold onto a lead. Mourinho’s six mistakes stood out in Samsun.

1. The “give the ball to the opponent, take the score” mentality does not suit Fenerbahce. This tactic also led to disappointment in Samsun.

2. Instead of applying pressure in the last 20 minutes to extend the lead to two goals, playing for time proved costly.

3. Mert Muldur is not filling in for Osayi effectively.

4. Benchwarming Irfan Can Kahveci, who set a career record last season and continued scoring for the national team, is detrimental to the team.

5. Playing Dzeko, who has taken on three matches in nine days for Bosnia against Germany and Hungary, was too much for the 38-year-old. Not fielding En-Nesyri in his place was a mistake.

6. Mourinho is rotating the center-backs, where consistency is crucial. This indecision in the defense was evident in the match against Samsun.
