Bro Hansen, 17, scores and assists at last
Mikkel Bro Hansen had five goal contributions in the 0–7 win, his first goals in a PSV shirt since arriving from FK Bodo/Glimt for €3m last summer (7) (9). The Danish striker is 17.
That is the kind of afternoon that gets a youth coach called into the first-team office.
Ouaissa still missing, and he is not even playing for Jong
Sami Ouaissa was absent again on Tuesday afternoon, Rik Elfrink reported on X. He was supposed to play for Jong PSV in the Premier League International Cup and did not (2) (5).
The €9m summer signing from NEC has still not made a first-team appearance, and his only outing so far was once for Jong PSV last week (6). Elfrink called the absence very striking and did not know the reason behind it (2).
Fans are done being patient. "Begint nu toch wel een grote grap te worden," one wrote, which roughly means this is becoming a big joke (6).
Third, four points back, still the favourites
PSV sit third after ten Eredivisie games with 20 points, four behind leaders Feyenoord and one behind Ajax (4). Your last five reads W L L W D.
Pundits are not jumping off. Many still call Peter Bosz's side title candidate number 1 (3). As one analyst put it: "Je kan totaal geen pijl trekken op wie er kampioen wordt" (3). You genuinely cannot predict who wins this league.
Willem II at home on Saturday, 18:45 CET, is the next chance to close the gap.
Winter window: quality needed
Valentijn Driessen, Mike Verweij and Pim Sedee made the case on the Kick-off podcast for PSV to add quality in the upcoming transfer window (8). No names, no targets, just the argument that the squad needs strengthening.
Fan reactions
The loudest thread on the subreddit this week is not about football at all: a supporter is asking for help getting tickets for PSV against Club Brugge on November 4 at home, and asking people to reply or DM. It is a small window into how quickly the Champions League nights fill up in Eindhoven. Here is the thread.
