Events

10
  1. Clashed with Yoane Wissa over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  2. Built a stronger partnership with Yoane Wissa

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. Previous friction meant this was not treated as a one-off.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  3. Called up to the national team for the first time

    Major
    Cause
    His club performances earned him a first national-team selection.
  4. Lifted by a passionate half-time team talk

    Minor
    Cause
    The team were behind, and the manager needed a response. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  5. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  6. Praised privately for his recent performance

    Serious
    Cause
    The discussion focused on his recent performance level.
  7. Clashed with Yoane Wissa over training standards

    Minor
    Cause

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  8. Stayed on the bench while Yoane Wissa took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Yoane Wissa was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.
    Cause
    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  9. Praised privately for his recent performance
