08 MAY 2016 De Graafschap - Ajax Match Day 34

[Orange14]

THIS IS IT! Championship on the line with Ajax and PSV both away from home. GD still stands at six which should be a comfortable cushion but Ajax need a win to lock things down and PSV cannot score lots of goals against PEC Zwolle who are still fighting for a place in the Europa League playoffs.

[Ayman]

De Graafschap dont have much to play for, since they are certain to finish 2nd from bottom. Ajax should cruise through this, provided they read the script. PSV Eindhoven had the opportunity to score goals galore against relegated Cambuur, that chance has passed. Now they need to win away to Zwolle who are 8th and have the play off for a place in the Europa League to play for. I expect PSV to win, but by a small margin. Title is heading back to the Amsterdam Arena

[Tom_]

Yep, any win should be good enough. I can see PSV crushing PEC but not by 6 goals.

[SPL]

PSV dont have a chance Queensy Menig will score an injury time winner for Zwolle.Becker our other loaned player there will have scored an earlier goal.

[Ayman]

Mennig and/or Becker should get a chance at Ajax, for the left wing spot behind Younis, Mennig has scored 6 ggoals while Becker has provided 6 assists. Fischer is almost certain to leave, although he may be in contention for this game.

I always get apprehensive when it comes to "easy win" games. If the boys go in with the attitude that they have won the game by merely stepping onto the pitch, it could be one of those "easy win" games that turn out to be a banana peel.

[Dave the mac]

Yep this is it! Am more than a little bit nervous. As close to a season end as they come.
I was nervous last week too until vd Hoorn made it 2-0. Am really happy for him, he's been great.
Only changes I see would be Dijks back from suspension at LB and El Ghazi back from injury, if he's 100%
Serero should keep his place as he has been outstanding since coming in for the out of form Bazoer.
One of the revelations of the season, Tete, I'm sure will come in at some point. He's awesome.

I'm sure Ajax will take care of business and de Boer will have them focused, but I'm still nervous.
Comon!

[SPL]

Morning all, D Day has arrived . I am nervous but being away may be a bonus. Dijks for Tete and El Ghazi for Cerny would be my changes and Serero to stay.He has played well these last 2 games,Bazoer after a long season has looked jaded in his last games.

I'm 100% convinced Queensy Menig will do the business for Zwolle v PSV

[Ayman]

Prediction: De Graafschap 0-3 Ajax Amsterdam
FC Zwolle 2-5 PSV Eindhoven


Eredivisie title 34!!!

[Dave the mac]

Looks like Cerny will start again on the right wing. Dijks and Serero in the line-up also.
Come on!!

[Tom_]

Here we go! It's mainly psychological at this point, if we come out attacking and score before the break there will be no problem.

[SPL]

Agree we need a quick goal

This Ajax team, attack???????? I truly hope so!

[SPL]

Agree we need a quick goal.Next seasons new shirts look good ,colour ok,well nothing could be worse than bright green

[Dave the mac]

Yep here we go!!

[Dave the mac]

De Graafschap very physical, already two Ajax players have needed treatment.

[SPL]

that one counted and was brilliant

[Orange14]

Great goal by Younes!!

[Van basten]

Comm'on Ajax!

[Tom_]

Pretty sluggish start but a good finish from Younes! The first should've counted too, he was 1m onside. Ah well, it's not going to matter

[Dave the mac]

Yes, perfect!

[rjf1]

Younes nets two -- the first one called back for offsides -- the second, a beauty of a curler around the keeper and inside the right post, puts us nicely on our way. Nice -- but a couple more to calm my nerves would be even nicer.

[ajaxusa]

Hey gents! Up at 5am to watch this one live from not yet sunny California! Hup Ajax!

[Tom_]

PSV also up 0–1

[ajaxusa]

I see that P$V has scored also.
