Our report for Anderlecht is harsh: the team does not belong in the Champions League. The Mauves can even be lucky that the Belgian league isn't the strongest in Europe. Therefore, the damage in Belgium remains under control...


Also coach Van den Brom admits it now: "This group cannot handle the level of the Champions League." Bram Nuytinck already looked forward to the next game, at home against Standard: "Sunday's match will be different. There we stand a chance."

Yet another defeat might lead to the end of Van den Brom. If Anderlecht wants to remain on course for play-off 1, they need to win on Sunday. If not, the pressure on Van den Brom will become nearly unbearable.

The management choose to give the youth a chance. That was a good decision, but you cannot play with only 16 year olds. The team is unbalanced, lacks experience, lacks physical power... It's a recipe for disaster, even though all these teenagers surely have a bright future ahead. During the winter break, Anderlecht will have to invest in leadership and experience. Let's hope it's not too late by then.
