Match

Whatever happens, Mouscron do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Matheus Neves 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.

Player ratings

Eden Onana runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Mouscron

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Loan watch

Adnan Nainggolan counts the days

“I watch every Mouscron game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Waasland-Beveren runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match

Honours even between Mouscron and KAA Gent

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Mousa Witsel gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Eden Boyata 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 Eden Boyata trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Francesco Di Bartolo joins Mouscron to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Mouscron have gone and got theirs early.

In brief
