Squad14 Jun 2038

A fracture rules Matan Natcho out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maccabi Petach Tikva will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom14 Jun 2038

The scrutiny sharpens at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Maccabi Petach Tikva is running low.

Squad14 Jun 2038

Eitan Benayoun is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.44 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Maccabi Petach Tikva know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad14 Jun 2038

Matan Natcho says Maccabi Petach Tikva 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.

Market14 Jun 2038

Ido David hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Maccabi Petach Tikva can pretend not to have heard.

Market14 Jun 2038

Lior Cohen has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Maccabi Petach Tikva they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad3 Aug 2037

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guy Dezent

109 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Maccabi Petach Tikva lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad3 Aug 2037

A fracture rules Luna Iwamoto out for 101 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maccabi Petach Tikva will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom3 Aug 2037

Maccabi Petach Tikva spell it out for Shon Peretz

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Shon Peretz has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom3 Aug 2037

The Maccabi Petach Tikva board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Squad3 Aug 2037

Omar Robles signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Omar Robles commits to Maccabi Petach Tikva for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2037

Eitan Benayoun is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market3 Aug 2037

Eyes on Omer Benayoun again

The phone has started ringing about Omer Benayoun again, and this time the name on the line is Hapoel Haifa. Maccabi Petach Tikva are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market3 Aug 2037

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona expected to open talks for Eden Glazer

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

Boardroom3 Aug 2037

Maccabi Petach Tikva pull $46.3K back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Squad22 Jun 2037

Tal Levy damages knee ligaments — 46 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 46 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.

Squad22 Jun 2037

Remember the name: Eitan Benayoun

He is 19, he is averaging 7.43, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market22 Jun 2037

Hapoel Kfar Saba come back empty-handed

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

Squad22 Jun 2037

Eden Glazer is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market22 Jun 2037

The Tomer Dabbur conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Hapoel Acre will make the call about Tomer Dabbur this week. Maccabi Petach Tikva have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Nowaf Bazia damages knee ligaments — 75 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 75 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.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Omar Robles keeps Maccabi Petach Tikva in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Words at Maccabi Petach Tikva training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kelvin Osei Asibey 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.

Match10 Jan 2037

Maccabi Haifa take the points off Maccabi Petach Tikva

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings12 Jan 2037

Nobody could get near Eitan Benayoun

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

Player ratings12 Jan 2037

Ninety minutes of Liran Hazan at his very best

Marked 8.63. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Maccabi Petach Tikva.

Market12 Jan 2037

Dan Levy attracts admirers

The name of Dan Levy has come up in conversations Maccabi Petach Tikva were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad12 Jan 2037

Shiva Tafari Nagasawa signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Shiva Tafari Nagasawa commits to Maccabi Petach Tikva for another 1 years.

Market12 Jan 2037

Maccabi Netanya expected to open talks for Sagiv Hemed

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