Squad

Pedro Bravo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Midtjylland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

FC Midtjylland lose Olaide Jamal

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Loan watch

Pape Fall has seen enough of AGF

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at FC Midtjylland, and 0 appearances in 19 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

FC Midtjylland march on in the cup

Viborg are out and FC Midtjylland go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

FC Midtjylland are in real trouble now

Position 10, 15 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Edward Chilufya

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Adam Kleis-Kristoffersen keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Midtjylland may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Midtjylland

Aral Şimşir 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.

Player ratings

Lee Han-Beom in the eights

A performance of 9.38 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Esbjerg take the points off FC Midtjylland

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Aral Şimşir in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

No hiding place for Ousmane Diao

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ousmane Diao, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Denil Castillo

Defensive actions: 33. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Pedro Bravo

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 32 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Lee Han-Beom

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 29 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Ovie Ejeheri

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Julius Emefile says FC Midtjylland 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 ratings

Nobody could get near William Martin

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Aral Şimşir in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Midtjylland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Philip Billing the difference as FC Midtjylland beat Brondby

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Philip Billing. 1‑0 against Brondby, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Loan watch

Pape Fall has seen enough of AGF

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at FC Midtjylland, and 0 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings

Darío Osorio runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. 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 FC Midtjylland

Philip Billing 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

A bad afternoon for FC Midtjylland against Randers

0‑2 to Randers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Victor Bak

“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.

Player ratings

The one thing Edward Chilufya could not do

Shots: 11, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Loan watch

Pape Fall wants to come home

“I did not go to AGF to sit and watch. I want to come back to FC Midtjylland and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Elías Rafn Ólafsson

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market

The Martin Erlić question follows FC Midtjylland around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Martin Erlić’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

A wage question at FC Midtjylland

Valdemar Byskov has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
