Match

9 matches without a win for Ravan

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Ravan are no longer polite ones.

Match

Ravan let it slip despite Richard Sadygov

Richard Sadygov had done his part in building a 4-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Kapaz were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

Richard Sadygov scores twice — 9.16

Two goals and a mark of 9.16 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Both of them Namig Sheydaev's — 8.78

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.78, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Ravan 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

Eddy Bayramov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ravan can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Rahid Guseynov 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alessio Curci

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Honours even between Ravan and Kapaz

4‑4, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

Namig Madatov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ravan can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Samir Garayev scored one and made one — 7.82

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.82, and 2 involvements.

Squad

Tempers go at Ravan

Jovan Krneta 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

Neftchi take the points off Ravan

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Jovan Krneta

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

Squad

Orkhan Amirguliyev falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

AZAL are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Ravan will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Rahid Guseynov is off the mark for Ravan

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Player ratings

Richard Sadygov leaves them behind him

Shots: 13. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
