Squad

Jordy Peffer says OH Leuven went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Anderlecht come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and OH Leuven did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Henok Teklab

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Nobody wants to play OH Leuven right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Thibaud Verlinden in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at OH Leuven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

OH Leuven find a way past Club Brugge

Club Brugge made OH Leuven work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words at OH Leuven training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ewoud Pletinckx is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Youssef Maziz

A mark of 7.74, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market

Westerlo are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. OH Leuven will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market

OH Leuven say no — this time

The offer from Toulouse FC for Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Thibaud Verlinden

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

8 seasons of Wouter George

32 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and OH Leuven know what they have.

Squad

Mathieu Maertens stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mathieu Maertens and OH Leuven agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
