The captain is out of contract and wants an answer
Anders Christiansen is back in the side and out of contract. He has not heard from the club about an extension (3) (7).
His teammates have. "Det råder inget tvivel om att jag hoppas att han skriver på så snabbt som möjligt," says Jens Stryger Larsen (1).
Christiansen's own answer was shorter. "Jag uppskattar att de vill ha mig kvar, även om jag är en gammal danskjävel som fyller 37 nästa gång" (4).
Lahdo needed five stitches
Mayckel Lahdo made his first start, then picked up an unusual injury that left him needing five stitches (5) (10).
Magnus Eriksson on what is missing
Malmö are not near the title again. Former player Magnus Eriksson points at leadership on the pitch: "Spontan känner jag att det brister i ledarskap på planen" (12) (18).
He also says the club has hit wrong on a couple of expensive signings (12).
