From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Porto B

12 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.

Match

Porto B are in real trouble now

Position 17, 15 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tiago Andrade

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

A bad afternoon for Porto B against Lusitânia Lourosa

0‑1 to Lusitânia Lourosa, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Gabriel Brás 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Porto B

Kaio Henrique 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.

Match

No end in sight to Porto B's wait for a win

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

Squad

Tempers go at Porto B

Bryan Caicedo 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Porto B against Maritimo

0‑1 to Maritimo, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Porto B training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Silva 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.

Squad

Porto B pick somebody else ahead of Bryan Caicedo

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

João Teixeira knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and João Teixeira trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Match

6 matches without a win for Porto B

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Porto B are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Bryan Caicedo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bryan Caicedo and Porto B agree another 4 years.

Squad

Bryan Caicedo 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 Porto B this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Duarte Cunha’s goal not enough for Porto B

Duarte Cunha scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Felgueiras, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Gabriel Brás 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.

Squad

Bryan Caicedo 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Porto B

4 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Porto B

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Porto B can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Tiago Andrade 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

Porto B come up short against Vizela

Vizela left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Felipe Silva 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

Tempers go at Porto B

Martim Cunha 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.

Match

6 matches without a win for Porto B

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Porto B are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Mateus Mide, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.90

A mark of 7.90 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Porto B

Bryan Caicedo 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

Bryan Caicedo 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.

Squad

Porto B pick somebody else ahead of Diogo Fernandes

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Mateus Mide rescues a point for Porto B

It needed Mateus Mide to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Benfica B, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Felipe Silva asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Player ratings

Tiago Andrade runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Tiago Andrade question follows Porto B around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Tiago Andrade’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

João Teixeira damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Tiago Andrade asks to leave Porto B

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Kotaro Nagata 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 Porto B this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Porto B training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Silva 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.

Market

Eduardo Ferreira attracts admirers

The name of Eduardo Ferreira has come up in conversations Porto B were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mateus Mide

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Porto B come up short against Lusitânia Lourosa

Lusitânia Lourosa left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Torreense expected to open talks for Tcherno Jamanca

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Porto B will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Porto B pick somebody else ahead of Diogo Fernandes

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
