Beşiktaş and Italiano flying

I have to say the whole thing feels a bit unfair on the player because every thread about him turns into bald fraud jokes or some nonsense about being the next this or that when the actual point is he has his side winning and not conceding which is the hardest thing to do in football and people just keep reducing it to a nickname and a meme and then acting like they have analysed the bloke properly, which they clearly havent because if you are winning six from six and keeping clean sheets then you are doing something right regardless of what anyone thinks about your hair or your surname or whatever other rubbish gets thrown around online
 
It is a strong start, but the real test will come when opponents adjust and the fixture list gets less forgiving. The red cards are also a concern, because they can hide problems rather than solve them.
 
im just sat here reading this thinking beşiktaş always seem to have one of these random insane starts that makes the whole league look daft and then everyone starts arguing about whether the manager is genius or fraud and i love it
 
The most interesting detail is not just the wins, but the fact that they have done it without conceding. That suggests a clear structure and good game management, although the red cards imply there is still some volatility in the performances.
 
The obvious takeaway is that a team can look completely transformed when the coach gets buy in early and the defensive standards are high. That said, people are already talking as if this is some grand discovery and not just a very good opening run, which is classic football discourse. The bit about the red cards is what makes me pause because if you are getting sent off that often then the underlying control is not as clean as the clean sheets suggest. Still, credit where it is due, because six wins and no goals conceded is exactly the sort of thing that makes rival fans itchy and makes your own fans start dreaming. And then of course the thread immediately turns into name jokes and bald fraud nonsense and suddenly nobody is even discussing the football properly anymore, which is why every serious point on here gets buried under the same old patter
 
Absolutely scandalous officiating if a team is picking up red cards in four of six games and people are just shrugging it off like it is normal because that kind of thing changes matches and changes seasons and if the refs are making it chaotic then the whole conversation about the manager is already warped before it even starts, fans are sat there watching their side try to build something and then some decision ruins the rhythm and everyone acts like it is just part of the game when it is basically taking the piss and if you ask me the officials need to get a grip because you cannot keep handing out reds and then pretend the competition is fair
 
The red card count is the one detail that stands out. It suggests the results might not be as straightforward as the clean-sheet record makes them look.
 
They look really well set up defensively and that usually travels well over a season if it is built on discipline rather than luck. The concern is whether the red cards are a symptom of them chasing games or just a bit of chaos that has not caught up with them yet
