Match28 Sep 2030

The wait goes on for Willem II

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Beau Reus keeps Willem II 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.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Home is on Ivo Kestler's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Willem II are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Tempers go at Willem II

Tsuyoshi Watanabe 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.

Match28 Sep 2030

Cambuur take the points off Willem II

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Filip Janssen out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for Filip Janssen, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Anass Zarrouk's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Willem II needed to.

Player ratings30 Sep 2030

Ivo Kestler keeps on missing

Shots: 11, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings30 Sep 2030

Nobody could get near Armin Ćulum

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad27 Aug 2029

A one-man rearguard from Quenten Attigah

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market27 Aug 2029

PSV say no — this time

The offer from Roda for Kiliann Sildillia 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.

Market27 Aug 2029

Thijmen Blokzijl is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at PSV is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad27 Aug 2029

Latrell Aken says PSV 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.

Market27 Aug 2029

Reda Boultam hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what PSV can pretend not to have heard.

Squad27 Aug 2029

Paul Wanner 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 PSV this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match25 Aug 2029

AZ take the points off PSV

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad27 Aug 2029

The manager makes an example of Jerdy Schouten

“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.

Player ratings27 Aug 2029

One of those days for Sami Bouhoudane

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

De Graafschap join the queue for Paul Wanner

Add another name to the list: De Graafschap have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Paul Wanner. The answer from PSV has not changed — yet.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Jerdy Schouten 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 PSV this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Matěj Kovář 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.

Market2 Jul 2029

Cambuur are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. PSV will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

$14.4M on the table at PSV

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Ricardo Pepi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market2 Jul 2029

Sami Bouhoudane linked with a move away

The name of Sami Bouhoudane keeps appearing in other people's back pages. PSV say nothing, which says plenty.

Market2 Jul 2029

Reda Boultam placed on the list

PSV have made Reda Boultam available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

The PSV production line keeps running

12 graduates out of an academy now rated 15 out of 20. Clubs this size survive on exactly that, and the town knows every name.
