Match

The wait goes on for Atromitos

14 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Lefteris Choutesiotis breaks a bone — 76 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 76 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Steven Zuber yet — 7.83

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.83 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Tempers go at Atromitos

Karol Świderski was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Atromitos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Steven Zuber was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

Karol Świderski runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Mansur gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 88 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Atromitos had all but put away. Panetolikos will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Jere Uronen

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Atromitos told Jere Uronen something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Derek Agyakwa: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Atromitos have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Atromitos's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Atromitos has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Atromitos cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Tempers go at Atromitos

Karol Świderski was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Juan-José Perea beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

José Ángel falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Mansur makes it 200

200 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Peter Michorl

A mark of 7.12, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Evangelos Retsos was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Atromitos dressing room was either.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Atromitos

0‑3 against AEK, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match

4 matches without a win for Atromitos

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Atromitos are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atromitos

Juan-José Perea and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Atromitos

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words at Atromitos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Ángel 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.

The dugout

Mansur gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Atromitos dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Evangelos Retsos faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Evangelos Retsos after 0‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Jere Uronen dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
