Player ratings

Paul Wanner runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at PSV

Nick Olij 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

Couhaib Driouech’s goal not enough for PSV

Couhaib Driouech scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to AZ, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings

Couhaib Driouech was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sergiño Dest

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Paul Wanner 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.

Player ratings

Ivan Perišić, 37, rolls back the years — 8.20

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.20 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Guus Til runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at PSV

Guus Til 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.

Market

Trento watching Sami Bouhoudane

The interest is real enough to have reached print. PSV have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Ryan Flamingo 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.

Match

Honours even between PSV and Cambuur

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

NEC are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. PSV will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Ivan Perišić is off the mark for PSV

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Ricardo Pepi named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Ricardo Pepi has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Market

Al-Ittihad come back empty-handed

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

Market

Ricardo Pepi 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.

Squad

Ivan Perišić signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ivan Perišić commits to PSV for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at PSV

Jerdy Schouten 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.

Market

Cambuur watching Ruben van Bommel

The interest is real enough to have reached print. PSV have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Ivan Perišić falls out with a teammate over standards
