From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The small margins put Siauliai out

Out, 1‑2 to Trakai, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Siauliai turn down Suduva for Andrius Jankauskas

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

Player ratings

Bendrix Parra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Bendrix Parra 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 Siauliai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulius Valskis 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

No hiding place for Edgaras Slavickas

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Arvydas Kuklys

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

The game went through Tadas Simkus — 6.92

Marked 6.92 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad

Arnas Girdvainis signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Arnas Girdvainis commits to Siauliai for another 3 years.

In brief
