Bosz under fire after Fortuna collapse
Saturday was ugly. Your team led Fortuna Sittard twice at home and walked away with a 2–2 draw, conceding the equaliser deep in stoppage time (2) (4) (5). The fallout has been brutal. Aad de Mos called Bosz's starting eleven a "casino line-up" and said it shows "the trainer is confused" (5). Theo Janssen and Wim Kieft went harder, PSV were "complacent" and "gave every ball away at the back" (4). You sit 10th after one matchday. Nobody saw this coming.
Club legends demand action
Willy and René van de Kerkhof are not holding back. The PSV icons slammed the club leadership, saying transfers arrived far too late and the squad was not ready for the season (6). "Wegwezen," was the message from one of them, get out and fix this (6). The Johan Cruijff Schaal was already a warning: AZ 4–0 PSV two weeks ago (4) (14). That loss now looks less like a blip and more like a pattern.
Bosz wanted the Oranje job
Theo Janssen dropped a different kind of bomb on Monday. He suggested Bosz would rather be national team coach right now, and that it shows in his demeanour (10) (12). Bosz is reportedly making a "surly impression" around the club (10). One outlet went further: Bosz may regret signing that contract extension (7). Excelsior away on Saturday already feels massive.

FC Eindhoven also won, beating Jong AZ late (3) (9).
