Burak Yilmaz forgot how to take free kicks, and Didier Drogba missed a sitter, while heading a good ball with the goal 5-6 meters away, in injury time.
All in Galatasaray's home match against Antalyaspor, on the fourth matchday of the Turkish league.
Drogba did score a goal, 55 play-time minutes after the Antalya team had opened the scoring, but that was all, and Galatasaray got their third draw in a row.
Now, what seemed like a careless start is turning into a serious concern.
Cimbom has already dropped six points (and therefore sits six points behind perfect rivals Besiktas). And they're behind Fenerbahce, too, with the Fener team having played one less match, too.
Maybe they're just thinking about the Champions League opener against Real Madrid. And, after that, Besiktas. Away.
Not to mention that the coach, Fatih Terim, is also under pressure to try and put to good use Turkey's 2014-World-Cup-qualification play-off hopes, approximately one month from now.
...Or maybe the goals have dried up. Didier Drogba is kind of old now, and Burak Yilmaz and Umut Bulut do not seem nearly as prolific as last year.
But we'll see soon.
