The OH Leuven Thread 2020/21

[moore_94]

Brilliant free kick, some good build up play at times as well

 

They really could’ve scored a couple of goals though from the chances they had in that video

 

Can’t imagine Leuven really got out of 1st gear for the game though

What position did Sowah play?

Beerschot.

Royal Knockers.

 

The best chocolate, best frites … and the best football club names.  What a country.

Leuven chaps, how much is Beerschot bankrolled by the Sheffield United owner do you know?

According to the Belgian media, he owns the club for 50%

No idea to be honest. His replacement (Romo) did quite well, so maybe he'll kep his place between the sticks.

 

Eppiah isn't "game fit" yet. Apparently he hasn't even trained with the 1st team yet, but has been working on his fitness alongside one of our other loanees, Jonah Osabutey.

 

Rumour has it Osabutey has started practicing with the 1st team  this week, so my guess is Eppiah might also join the squad when he's back from international duty.

A bit arcane I know, but OHL have a player called Mercier and play on Mercierlaan and the old name for the Anglo-Saxon kingdom in the midlands was Mercia. I am a fountain of useless knowledge.

 

 What do the OHL fans think of Iversen?

Quite happy with Iversen! In my opinion he's our best goalkeeper.

Unlucky he suffered a hip injury in our game against Oostende, which put him on the sideline for a couple of weeks. Apparently he's back in training, but since his replacement (Romo) did a more than decent job he might stay in goal for the next couple of games.

 

At this moment I think Iversen is a perfect goalie for a mid-table team in the Belgian League.

 

[moore_94]

Sowah starts, Iversen on the bench, no place in the squad for Eppiah

 

 

[lcfc sheff]

Huge game!

Looking like a wasted year for Iversen if he's not getting games. He should have had a loan in the Championship, ideally staying at Rotherham following promotion.

it's his first game back after injury. Chill.
He was first choice until then and Romo has stepped in and done a good job as well, so probably only fair he get's a chance tonight.

[moore_94]

1-0 Anderlecht

2-0 Anderlecht

2-2!!!

Turned over just in time to see the celebrations for the first goal and again for the equaliser. Thought I was going to see the winner when we hit the post. Good result, cheered me up a bit.

Yea, promoted once the season was cancelled.

brilliant result tonight! OH Leuven drawing against Anderlecht. If you had said this 18 months ago, I think a lot would've laughed in your face.
