Tuned into Galatasaray-Kasimpasa to watch how Domenec Torrent's team is doing in his beginnings. Obvious issues but for sure something to retain is that there are ideas that will need implementation. Of course not a good look to lose 1-3 against Kasimpasa, 15th in the Süper Lig. 
One experiment that however caught my eye & @QuanTue pointed out to me is the surprising role given to Patrick Van Aanholt. Found himself at the heart of every progression through the (weak) midfield as the Galatasaray's touchmap above portrays it. For sure an interesting idea.
Kasimpasa enjoyed attacking through the right-wing as Galatasaray were not able to defend well in transitions. Bit of a chaos but I'd assume that Aanholt's inclusion in the midfield is the consequence of Galatasaray being able to progress through the wings, but no the midfield.
Galatasaray are known outside of Turkey for being one of the country's best clubs but work needs to be done. There is still a solid core (Van Aanholt, Dervisoglu, Morutan) but some needs to go. Arda Turan's time on the pitch was horrific, seems indeed done w/ football.
