'Falcao needs time' - Misfiring Galatasaray striker backed to come good by ex-Fenerbahce star Tuncay

Radamel Falcao has made a slow start since moving to Galatasaray as the marquee player in the Turkish Super Lig, and Tuncay Sanli hopes it continues as Fenerbahce make a surprise title push.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United striker Falcao has only scored once in his first five games in Istanbul, leaving Galatasaray down in 10th position in the table after seven games.

Galatasaray's struggles this season are a surprise given they have won the title for the past two years during a period when rivals Fenerbahce have suffered severe financial problems and survived a brush with relegation.
