Squad

Mohamed Farsi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Columbus Crew have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Zach Zengue is on his way

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

Squad

Jack Lynn 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 Columbus Crew this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Patrick Schulte keeps Columbus Crew in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Sékou Tidiany Bangoura shuts the door

Defensive actions: 32, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Age has not caught André Gomes yet — 8.27

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.27 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nicholas Hagen

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nicholas Hagen will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Columbus Crew the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Brais Méndez in the eights

A performance of 9.47 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Columbus Crew get the job done against CF Montreal

A 1‑0 win over CF Montreal, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Malte Amundsen was immovable

18 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Brais Méndez named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Brais Méndez has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Squad

Words at Columbus Crew training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Evan Bush 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.

Market

Luke Pruter is on his way

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

Squad

André Gomes 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 Columbus Crew this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Dániel Gazdag runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Wessam Abou Ali was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.12. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

No hiding place for Steven Moreira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Steven Moreira, and the manager let it.

Match

Wessam Abou Ali rescues a point for Columbus Crew

It needed Wessam Abou Ali to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against FC Cincinnati, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
