Market

Kevin Hazard 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 Mouscron can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Diogo Pinto

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.

Market

Zulte Waregem come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mouscron did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

No end in sight to Mouscron's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mouscron has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Yannick Meunier 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 Mouscron this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Nacer Carrasco

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

Squad

Words at Mouscron training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jason Courtois 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.

Match

Mouscron and Racing Genk take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Leander Chadli runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Mouscron

0‑3 against Zulte Waregem, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Mouscron say no — this time

The offer from Bromley for Dedryck Alderweireld was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Eyes on Dries Openda again

The phone has started ringing about Dries Openda again, and this time the name on the line is Paris Saint-Germain. Mouscron are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Yannick Meunier 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 Mouscron this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Mouscron training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nacer Carrasco 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Leander Chadli

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Mouscron dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings

One moment undoes Yannick Mertens

There was one mistake and it ended in the net. Defenders are judged on the worst thing they did rather than on the eighty-nine minutes either side of it, which is unfair and is also the job.

Market

No place for Kevin Hazard in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Kevin Hazard has his answer from Mouscron; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
