  1. Left out as Arkaitz Mariezkurrena was preferred

    Serious
    Chosen instead
    Arkaitz Mariezkurrena was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.
    Cause
    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Left out as Ander Barrenetxea was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Ander Barrenetxea was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
    Cause
    A more highly rated alternative was available.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  5. Stayed on the bench while Álex Marchal took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Álex Marchal was preferred — the club's selection philosophy.
    Cause
    His profile did not fit the chosen tactical balance.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  6. Left out as Gonçalo Guedes was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Gonçalo Guedes was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
    Cause
    A more highly rated alternative was available.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  7. 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.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  8. Dreams of genuine first-team football

    Moderate
    Cause
    He has spent years in the reserves and wants a real chance at first-team level. (He has been stuck in the reserve squad for a long time.)
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  9. Given a personal development plan

  10. Signed a new contract

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.

  11. Turned down the offered deal

    Serious
    Cause
    He turned down the club's offer. The wage was below his expectations.

  12. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
