Player ratings

Nobody could get near Abdulrahman Ghareeb

Successful dribbles: 45. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Fahad Al-Dhanhani damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Baniyas

A 0‑3 beating by Al Shaab was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Mohamed Kanno: 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.” Baniyas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Baniyas's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Baniyas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Alassane Diallo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Fabio Lima out for 30 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Baniyas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Baniyas turn down Adana Demirspor for Bernard Faye

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Real improvement from Alassane Diallo at Baniyas

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Alassane Diallo is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Suhail Al-Noobi damages knee ligaments — 118 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 118 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Only the photograph left for Hasan Al-Muharrami

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hasan Al-Muharrami will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Baniyas the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Baniyas

Saviour Godwin 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.
