02 Mar 2008: Ajax - Excelsior

[Van basten]

PSV plays away match against Tottenham on thursday, so this could help us a little

[kraz11]

I hope that Leonardo will start against Psv on the right flank
he looks much better than Kennedy and Rommedahl

Nice win today. Four goals, clean sheet. Makes you wonder why we were so inept in December. As for next Sunday, I never thought Ajax had a 1:5 in them last year, so nothing's impossible. Just hoping it's not the Tottenham of yesterday which shows up on Thursday v. the P's. Anything Spurs can do to inflict injury on their confidence will be much appreciated.

Been away for the weekend so did not get the result until this evening.

All to play for next week.

Um, what's the point of this post, which has appeared in multiple threads? Am I missing something significant in this message?

Last week,I remember writing "The commitment was good. The passion was good. This should be repeated every game. If we see the same Ajax against Excelsior next week, PSV might begin looking over their shoulder once again."

The passion was there on Sunday......and are PSV beginning to get a crick in their necks??????

AZ threw it away last year......THINK POSITIVELY.........

Crap game, great set of results. Now the boys have been given a chance to resurrect their season that they hardly deserve. Let's hope they don't blow it this time.

The passion was there in the red and white shirts! There were more arguements between the home players because of "lacklustre" play than any game this season! Believe it or not, the one player who possibly lacked ANY passion was Heitinga.....yes, it surprised me as well! Vertonghen and Davids showed their usual passion but were "told" to calm down by the bench!!!

Keep the faith!!!!

I disagree, I think P$V have the tougher run-in.

Sunday is of course crucial, if we win, it's game on. If we draw we have a fighting outside chance, if we lose it's curtains.

A draw means it's curtains as well mate.

A draw means it's curtains as well mate.

I would normally think that as well, but after last year, you never really know.
It could come down to the last day again as long as we aren't mathematically out of the hunt, which we won't be with a draw against PSV. This whole year has seemed like a continuation of that instability and inconsistency witnessed on the last day, for the whole of the Eredivisie.
