Player ratings

Félix Lemaréchal runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Hans Vanaken, 34, rolls back the years — 8.08

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.08 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Club Brugge turn down Twente for Gustaf Nilsson

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Club Brugge sell Nordin Jackers for $3.7M

Nordin Jackers has left for Feyenoord in a $3.7M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A move Mousa Mignolet would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Mousa Mignolet is living that version at Club Brugge, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

Club Brugge cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Tempers go at Club Brugge

Félix Lemaréchal 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.

Squad

Words at Club Brugge training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hans Vanaken 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

Hans Vanaken sends Club Brugge past Charleroi

It finished 1‑0, and it was Hans Vanaken’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Club Brugge.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Radja Mignolet

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

KV Oostende win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 95th minute. Standard Liege will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Squad

A day Michy Fellaini will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

KV Oostende say no — this time

The offer from Utrecht for Hans Lukaku 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.

Player ratings

Hans Nainggolan, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.75

A mark of 7.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Mousa Mignolet moves on

Club Brugge pay $1.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Tempers go at KV Oostende

Michy Tielemans 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

KV Oostende see off Standard Liege

Three points for KV Oostende, 3‑2 the final word against Standard Liege in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Patrick Ludwig

“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.
