The dugout

Ameen Al-Dakhil: 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.” Greuther Fürth have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

40 days out for Nils-Jonathan Körber after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Greuther Fürth will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Luca Philipp 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 Greuther Fürth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Noah König is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Loan watch

Lukas Reich wants to come home

“I did not go to Union Berlin to sit and watch. I want to come back to Greuther Fürth and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

The dugout

Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason 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.

Squad

Ivan Luquetta is a square peg at Greuther Fürth

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout

When it matters, Matti Wagner plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

The manager makes Omar Sillah a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Greuther Fürth. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Nils-Jonathan Körber out for 50 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Greuther Fürth will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

The wait goes on for Greuther Fürth

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.

Squad

A falling-out at Greuther Fürth

Luca Philipp and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

Greuther Fürth supporters have found a favourite in Omar Sillah

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Omar Sillah has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Alexandr Vasyutin

“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.

Squad

Greuther Fürth are still strangers to each other

9 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Omar Sillah

7.59, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Greuther Fürth had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Ivan Luquetta stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ivan Luquetta and Greuther Fürth agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Honours even between Greuther Fürth and Holstein Kiel

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
