Events

26
  1. Warned about his body language

    Moderate
    Cause
    The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. Staff had already warned him about this in the last few weeks.
    Outlook
    Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.
  2. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  3. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  4. Clashed with Amine Karraoui over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  5. Encouraged by the manager after his decisive contribution

    Minor
    Cause
    He made the moment that decided the match. His goal contribution made the difference on the day.
    Outlook

  8. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook

  9. Left out as Haissem Hassan was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead

    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  10. Lifted by a passionate half-time team talk

    Minor
    Cause
    The team were behind, and the manager needed a response. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.

    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
