Zwolle 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.

El Mehdi Karnass wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Zwolle can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Nick Fichtinger dropped after a run of poor form
