Match29 Nov 2026

No end in sight to Twente's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Twente has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Twente

Ramiz Zerrouki 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.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Jayden Oosterwolde

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Twente told Jayden Oosterwolde something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Max Bruns 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.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

A defender's afternoon for Oliver Braude

Defensive actions: 15. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Marten Aké on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The plan did not have a place for Ricky van Wolfswinkel

Nobody at Twente is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Match29 Nov 2026

Point won or two lost for Twente?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Volendam? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Looking ahead30 Nov 2026

A reunion for Wout Weghorst

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against AZ in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Lars Unnerstall 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 Twente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Nov 2026

Feyenoord take the points off Twente

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Marten Aké answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market23 Nov 2026

Ramiz Zerrouki linked with a move away

The name of Ramiz Zerrouki keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Twente say nothing, which says plenty.

Looking ahead23 Nov 2026

A reunion for Henk Veerman

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Volendam in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Thomas van den Belt does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Soufiane Hetli has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Twente will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Myron Boadu

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Max Bruns knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Max Bruns trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
