08 MAY 2016 De Graafschap - Ajax Match Day 34

[Tom_]

Morning Jim!

Well let's hope the party kicks off in the second half, apart from the goal it's a little bit pedestrian so far. No huge chances for de Graafschap at least.

[Tom_]

0–2 PSV

[rjf1]

PSV got a second goal and we keep missing good chances. Cerney fluffed twice and Milik had his header saved just as it was going in. I hope missing these chances doesn't come back to haunt us.

[SPL]

PSV 2-0 up so we have to win .Get a quick 2nd should be enough.Cerny missed a sitter though.

[Orange14]

Weird off sides call against Younes on the disallowed goal as he was clearly on sides. Klaassen was off but never involved in the play at all. This team better wake up and play some football in the second half. Too much sleep walking during the first half. Cillessen was too nonchalant on the turnover where he didn't realize he had a man in back of him. So much for Zwolle helping out as they are down to PSV 0-2 at the half. Can they concede six more???

[Amol]

Younes' first shoud've counted. Klaassen was offside and not Younes on the original shot on goal.

This is the part I don't understand about this Ajax team. They're almost not showing the willingness to fight and win 4-0 right now against the team which is 2nd from bottom. I hope this doesn't bite us in the butt in about 45 minutes.

[Dave the mac]

So far okay, up 0-1 at the half. Ajax started taking control after a nervous start. A couple more goals in the second
should wrap it up.
PSV up 0-2 at ht

Strange one eh? I'm wondering if Klaassen blocked the assistant's view of the de Graafschap defender.

Anyway de Graafschap will drop off a bit in the second so I think we'll be OK, but I guess we'd all like an early 2nd for the nerves!

So presuming we win 1–0, would PSV need a 6 or 7 goal win to overtake us? Not so good at maths on Sundays...

[King Litti]

Glad we got that opening goal. As it stands the title is coming back home. Our defense is doing a decent job. Apart from the first 10 minutes there hasn't been much danger at our end.

The next goal if there is going to be one will be huge. 1-1 and the pressure and panic will be on. 0-2 and I think De Graafschap will give up a bit and we will be in confidently in charge.

We are up by five goals as things stand right now. I don't know what the tiebreaker is if PSV score five more and our result stays the same. If PSV score six more they win by 1 in the GD.

[Tom_]

The next tie breaker is foals scored so they just need to level our GD

[Tom_]

Foals scored! Scuse the chubby fingers

[ajaxusa]

Somebody turn off the damn sprinklers!

[rjf1]

So frustrating -- we come so close only for their keeper to come up with super saves.

[Tom_]

At least we're going for it now!

[SPL]

Goal against oh no.

[Orange14]

Well that's it. They will pack everyone back now to preserve the draw. Can't figure out which of the midfielders screwed this one up by not tracking the runner.

[rjf1]

All those missed chances -- looks pretty grim now. Have to throw caution to the winds and go for it. If we can't beat de Graafschap we don't deserve it anyway.

[King Litti]

completely against the run of play. Damn. Well, still plenty of time. We need just one.

[Van basten]

Get Cerny out of the field!!!!

[ajaxusa]

Have faith!

[Tom_]

We'll be OK!

[rjf1]

Zwolle got one back -- maybe there will be a miracle and they will get another.

[rjf1]

Nope -- PSV got a third.

[SPL]

Milik off for El Ghazi,we look clueless at present ,title chances slipping away
