Match31 Jan 2028

Every point is an argument now for FC Metz

Position 17 and 18 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Match29 Jan 2028

A bad afternoon for FC Metz against Paris Saint-Germain

2‑3 to Paris Saint-Germain, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A row about effort at FC Metz

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jonathan Fischer was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A falling-out at FC Metz

Maxime Colin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

FC Metz rebuffed over Taiwo Awoniyi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Monaco have kept their man, and FC Metz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market31 Jan 2028

Mathis Holo attracts admirers

The name of Mathis Holo has come up in conversations FC Metz were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Lucas Hernández gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Marcel Carré faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Marcel Carré after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Market31 Jan 2028

No place for Bilel Aouacheria in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Bilel Aouacheria has his answer from FC Metz; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market3 Jan 2028

Cléo Mélières asks to leave FC Metz

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Nicolas Kocik: 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.” FC Metz have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market3 Jan 2028

Enzo Bardeli raises the bar for FC Metz

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

Squad3 Jan 2028

A row about effort at FC Metz

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Enzo Bardeli was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match1 Jan 2028

3 matches without a goal for FC Metz

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

FC Metz rebuffed over Cyril Ngonge

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Napoli have kept their man, and FC Metz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at FC Metz

Everson Pereira and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match3 Jan 2028

Halfway: FC Metz sit in position 18

13 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Mathis Holo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mathis Holo and FC Metz agree another 4 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad20 Sep 2027

Jonathan Fischer stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match15 Sep 2027

FC Metz out of the cup

LB Chateauroux ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

What a way to start for Mathis Holo — 7.53

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.53 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

Everson Pereira says FC Metz 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 ratings20 Sep 2027

No sign of nerves from Lucas Rosier at 20 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Lucas Rosier did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match18 Sep 2027

The wait goes on for FC Metz

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Jonathan Fischer pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Lucas Rosier is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

Transfer targets20 Sep 2027

Grenoble Foot 38 tell FC Metz: Jota is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
