Match

31 matches without a win for US Moursal

The run now stands at 31, and the questions being asked around US Moursal are no longer polite ones.

Match

A hiding for US Moursal

Beaten 1‑4 by Stars Jeunes Talents, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match

US Moursal are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 9 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market

Hassan Abakar puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at US Moursal, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Hassan Allamine, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.60

A mark of 7.60 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Hassan Allamine is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at US Moursal is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings

Adam Adoum runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. 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 US Moursal

Djibrine Youssouf 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.

Boardroom

Inquest at US Moursal

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market

Issa Mbainaissem asks to leave US Moursal

“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.

Boardroom

US Moursal counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at US Moursal now.

Market

Only the photograph left for Issa Abba

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Issa Abba will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around US Moursal the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Djibrine Youssouf 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 US Moursal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Abdramane Oumar has improved at 35, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Isaac Ayuba knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Isaac Ayuba trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief
