  1. Contract talks stalled over squad status

    Moderate
    Cause
    The wage was acceptable, but he wanted clearer first-team guarantees.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  2. Stayed on the bench all match

    Minor
    Cause
    The bench was built around different match options.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  3. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support. He handles pressure well, which helped the moment land.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  4. Worried by competition from a new signing Yu Kobayashi

    Serious
    Cause
    The signing was bought with a similar squad-status tier in mind. The new arrival has visibly higher ability.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  5. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He handles pressure well, which helped the moment land.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  6. Stayed on the bench while Ryo Germain took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Ryo Germain 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.

    Moderate
    Chosen instead

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  9. Warned about his body language

    Moderate
    Cause
    The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. His match rating of 6.0 weighed heavily in the talk.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
