Match1 Nov 2036

Nobody wins at PSV

41 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Match1 Nov 2036

10 unbeaten for PSV

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation PSV did not have in the autumn.

Squad3 Nov 2036

Hayden Hackney: 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.” PSV have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad3 Nov 2036

Brent Jonkers has been here 11 seasons

36 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Player ratings3 Nov 2036

Age has not caught Couhaib Driouech yet — 7.95

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.95 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market3 Nov 2036

Matías Fernández-Pardo wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at PSV hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Nov 2036

Matías Fernández-Pardo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matías Fernández-Pardo commits to PSV for another 4 years.

Squad3 Nov 2036

Tempers go at PSV

Sami Bouhoudane 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.

Boardroom3 Nov 2036

PSV release $14.4M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Match6 Oct 2035

PSV make it 15 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now PSV have 15 straight wins of it.

Match6 Oct 2035

Nobody wins at PSV

18 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings8 Oct 2035

A brace, and Sami Bouhoudane takes the afternoon — 8.58

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Sami Bouhoudane provided it, and the 8.58 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad8 Oct 2035

Quenten Attigah keeps PSV 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.

Squad8 Oct 2035

10 seasons of Brent Jonkers

35 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and PSV know what they have.

Market8 Oct 2035

Sami Bouhoudane raises the bar for PSV

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at PSV heard it as anything else.

Squad8 Oct 2035

Couhaib Driouech 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 PSV this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Oct 2035

Yarek Gąsiorowski signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yarek Gąsiorowski commits to PSV for another 3 years.

Market8 Oct 2035

Madi Monamay is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at PSV is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match29 Sep 2035

Nobody wants to play PSV right now

14 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad1 Oct 2035

A one-man rearguard from Quenten Attigah

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match29 Sep 2035

PSV run riot against Utrecht

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market1 Oct 2035

Samuel Lino has one foot out of the door

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

Player ratings1 Oct 2035

Sami Bouhoudane scores twice — 9.30

Two goals and a mark of 9.30 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad1 Oct 2035

Kristian Nökkvi Hlynsson says PSV 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.

Player ratings1 Oct 2035

Murillo, 33, rolls back the years — 8.54

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.54 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad1 Oct 2035

Brent Jonkers has been here 10 seasons

35 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.
