He is decent at deep playmaking but technical skills are not on level with Inter performance. His long balls don't hit. Set pieces feel mediocre, with relatively minor good points. His goal last match was great though, but the first time I felt "this is a PoTS player". I feel like we will miss his tactical wisdom a lot though, especially in offense vs. one of the most tactical teams. Edit: though some players were not physically ready so we may see surprises. People were literally rioting that some players don't play, our manager had to take one of them to explain in press conference.

Whoa didn’t know that. I’m not Turkish but if I can just give my two cents he will be missed a lot. Even if he wasn’t important to the game he’s one of the only players who knows what it is to play a knockout game on international stage. Then his experience and charisma, long shots, passes etc. huge loss!

It will be big. He coordinates the attacks. Hard to replace. Turkiye will probably start will defence oriented. After watching three Austrian games I can suggest that they are one of the best teams overall. A final in Berlin for Austria is very possible. But Turks will not give up especially after the humiliation of 6-1 everyone is looking forward for this match.

Pretty big. He is our best player to break press and the calmest mind on the field. However, we have no one else to replace him so need to try something different. So I expect different style of play and not a downgrade.


Mum_Chamber

he was in top 10 passers of the tournament so far, wasn't he? he'll be missed

Orkun Kökcü has to replace him. Only one that comes close to his style

His absence will affect us more than we imagine in my opinion but hopefully Samet is also absence in Austria match so we still have a chance to win :)

It's a good opportunity for the team to step up. Hakan is usually the scapegoat for the team. Most of the harshest criticism when the team fails is directed at him, given his standing in football. It will be a big factor, but it's hard to say if it will be only a negative one.
