Loan Watch 2020/21

Daniel Iversen makes his debut for OH Leuven this afternoon in their league match against Genk.

Kamal Sowah is back at Leuven, he also starts. Assuming he actually left them. It was reported at the end of July that he'd returned to us, but he played for them two days later...

that Sowah deal is an odd one he's never spent a day with us since we signed him

I think at the time there were concerns that he might not get a work permit, maybe that would still be a problem.

unless he is a potential superstar sell him then

I'm watching the OHL match on a live stream on Bet365. It's very one sided, the game's being played mainly in OHL's half. Iversen's not had much to do so far. 0-0, they're now having the first drinks break.

Sowah playing in central mid or on the wing?

I don't know, I've not noticed him yet...

Small picture (won't go full screen), no commentary, so it would need a close-up to see him properly.

 

[Jeff]

Looks like he's playing on the left of midfield.

Looks like he's playing on the left of midfield.

Then he popped up in central midfield. So I'm not really sure.

I think he's just had the best chance of the match. A quick counter attack, as the ball came across to him he put it wide. A defender just got a touch on the cross, without that he'd probably have scored.

Could have been someone else though...

 

[Jeff]

Genk thought they had scored. VAR said no.

Sowah playing in central mid or on the wing?

When OHL don't have the ball he's playing more centrally, when they have the ball he's usually on the left. He's got forward well a few times, he has some pace.
Half time 0-0

 

[Jeff]

1-0 to Genk. Shot from 22 yards, but right in the top corner so Iversen didn't have much of a chance.
He's been shouting at his defenders a lot.

 

[Jeff]

Sowah playing in central mid or on the wing?

Definitely central midfield. The times he appeared on the left were probably just because space opened up there, rather than a tactic.

Finished 1-1, a good point for Leuven against one of the top teams in Belgium. Could have won it in stoppage time, Sowah broke forward on the right but he delayed his cross when there was an unmarked teammate in the box.

 

[Jeff]

Iversen has been substituted at half time in the game at Oostende. Hopefully it's a minor injury, and not because he's shit.

We don't have anywhere near enough young lads out on loan.

We don't have anywhere near enough young lads out on loan.

the loan window for EFL clubs closes after the main transfer window, so clubs are waiting to see who they have to sell before loaning players in

 

[Jeff]

Sowah has just put Leuven 1-0 up at Gent.

Iversen isn't playing (injured), Eppiah isn't in the squad.
