Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stian Singh

17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Molde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

A brace, and Livan Burcu takes the afternoon — 9.37

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Livan Burcu provided it, and the 9.37 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

A European lesson for Molde

1‑2 against PAOK. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

Squad

Livan Burcu is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.90 with 13 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Albert Posiadała keeps Molde in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Juan Cruz de los Santos 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 Molde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gustav Nyheim

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Louis Buffon has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Molde they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Livan Burcu the difference as Molde beat Lillestrom

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Livan Burcu. 2‑1 against Lillestrom, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief

  • Player ratings Alexandr Koksharov was on a different afternoon to everybody else
  • Boardroom Nobody left the Molde dressing room in a hurry
  • Boardroom $5.5M on the table at Molde

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stian Singh

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Molde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Livan Burcu is carrying Molde

11 goals and a season average of 7.85. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Evenezer Forcha says Molde went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Jacob Christensen yet — 7.87

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.87 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Livan Burcu 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 Molde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Trent Kone-Doherty has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Molde they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gustav Nyheim

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Livan Burcu in the eights

A performance of 9.73 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Molde see off Aalesund

Three points for Molde, 1‑0 the final word against Aalesund in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

Molde make home a hard place to visit

26 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match

The derby belongs to Molde

3‑2 against Rosenborg, and the songs went on long after the whistle. League positions come and go; days like this get retold at family dinners for years.

Match

Molde do the business in Europe

1‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Molde came through the finding-out well against Partizani Tirana.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stian Singh

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Molde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Molde through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Viking, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Molde are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 64 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings

Kasper Dolberg, 37, rolls back the years — 8.75

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.75 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

A derby belongs to Gustav Nyheim

Beat anybody else and it is three points. Beat them and it is a story a city tells for a decade. Molde have their man.

Squad

Juan Cruz de los Santos 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 Molde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
