Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Ryan Fosso delivers — 7.70

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Ryan Fosso scored, was marked 7.70, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Tempers go at Standard Liege

Anthony Modeste 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 Standard Liege training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed El Hankouri 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Sylvester Jasper

“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.

Loan watch

Alexandro Calut has seen enough of OH Leuven

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Standard Liege, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Standard Liege share the spoils with KAA Gent

A 2‑2 draw with KAA Gent leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Souleyman Doumbia slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Souleyman Doumbia is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad

Standard Liege take the armband off Marlon Fossey

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Player ratings

Tobias Mohr 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.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Grejohn Kyei
  • The dugout Salieu Drammeh has become a man the manager trusts

Transfer targets

Standard Liege baulk at the price for Dorian Dessoleil

Francs Borains wanted more than $310.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Match

André-Pierre Gignac the difference as Standard Liege beat OH Leuven

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: André-Pierre Gignac. 1‑0 against OH Leuven, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words at Standard Liege training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed El Hankouri 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.

Squad

Salieu Drammeh signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Salieu Drammeh commits to Standard Liege for another 4 years.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Tobias Mohr at his very best

Marked 8.18. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Standard Liege.

Squad

Tempers go at Standard Liege

Steeven Assengue 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

9 new faces, and Standard Liege are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Youri Onana kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Anthony Modeste

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
