Squad

Gonçalo Borges breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Sem Verdonk 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

Words at Feyenoord training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ayase Ueda 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Feyenoord

Tsuyoshi Watanabe 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

Feyenoord cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

The terraces

Feyenoord supporters have found a favourite in Hans Onana

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Hans Onana has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Loan watch

Noah Bout wants to come home

“I did not go to Twente to sit and watch. I want to come back to Feyenoord and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Gernot Trauner

Nobody at Feyenoord is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Match

No goals between Feyenoord and Vitesse

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Vitesse will be the happier side with the point.

In brief
