The Al Shabab Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match9 Nov 2026

Every point is an argument now for Al Shabab

Position 13 and 4 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Match7 Nov 2026

4 matches without a win for Al Shabab

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Al Shabab are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Mohamed Rashid was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Words at Al Shabab training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kasra Taheri 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Mohamed Hassan 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 Al Shabab this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Nov 2026

Al Shabab come up short against Al Jazira

Al Jazira left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Maximiliano Velazco

“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.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Kasra Taheri

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Al Shabab told Kasra Taheri something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Fahad Hussain answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The Al Shabab Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Rashid Yaqoob was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Al Shabab count the cost of losing Isaac Success

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words at Al Shabab training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Reda Jaadi 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Al Shabab

Ahmed Aït-Abdesslem 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.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Malek Janeer

“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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Khalid Al Junaibi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Khalid Al Junaibi and Al Shabab agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match31 Oct 2026

Kasra Taheri rescues a point for Al Shabab

It needed Kasra Taheri to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Sharjah, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Fahad Hussain on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Fahad Hussain after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mohamed Rashid gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mohamed Rashid is on it.
