21 Feb 2010: Ajax - Vitesse

[Van basten]

Would like to see Mickey and lodeiro in 2nd.

[Orange14]

Siem de Jong now on 2 and looking for a hat trick; 4-0

[NE_Ajax_Fan]

4 nil De Jong. Another really good move with good work by De Zeeuw leading up to the goal.

[Van basten]

Is De Jong on form or what?!

[rjf1]

Another lovely goal -- Siem sure can pound them in from that spot.

[Ajaxfanuk]

I think that makes our goal difference like +52 or something amazing like that, we may not win the league, but our goal scoring is phenomenal, so at least we get entertained

[Orange14]

Lodeiro on for Pantelic and it also looks like Suk will get a run on.

[rjf1]

As many goals as Suarez scores he would have twice as many if he had a better first touch.

[Orange14]

No chance for Suk today; Rommedahl on for de Jong. Pity as we need to see him get some game action

[Cedric]

Poepon !!!

[Orange14]

Fair enough result. Without some excellent goalkeeping from Velthuizen it could have been much worse for Vitesse. Trouble is the two teams ahead of us seem to always eke out 1-0 results. We're going to really need some help to catch Twente. PSV seems to have a lock on first place.

[Van basten]

Poepon !!!

Exactly!

[Orange14]

Wow! I guess I spoke too soon. Pick up two points on the Lightbulbs!

[dws]

Poepon !!!

A somewhat surprising and very welcome result.

[SPL]

A good win very easy but with better finishing should have been 7 or 8 but their goalie was good.

Siem had a good game and Eriksen is getting better with more games. The defence had little trouble and thats just 2 goals in 7 matches let in since the winter break . Mind they did not have del Piero to contend with today!!

[bluedaddy19]

12 games to play

psv 62 pts
twente 61
AJAX 55

[Giacomo Puccini]

Just 10 games to play, because 24 matches have been played so far.

PSV still have to play teams like Nac, FC Twente, Feyenoord, AZ, Ajax, Groningen and SC Heerenveen, and it looks like FC Twente has a good chance to play another 2 matches in the Europa League. Everything is possible!

At this point, even second place will be quite something. Which is kind of sad, if you think about it.

[SPL]

Home games in order to play

Utrecht
Psv
Groningen
VVV
Heracles must get 5out of 5.

Away

Sparta
RKC
ADO
Willem
NEC

3 wins and maybe 2 draws .

On paper we could win 10 out of 10 but we have a habit of letting in soft goals ie NAC and FWord the only 2 let in since the winter break should never have been given away . Ther NAc one was ajoke imo .

We have been lucky with injuries but must hope that Alderweireld Enoh Suarez and de Zeeuw, all one yellow from a suspension do not miss Sparta or PSV (ie the 2 games after Utrecht)

[Philippe]

We are getting closer. I still think that the game against Philips will be the decider. If we beat them, we will eventually catch up with them and be champions.

Well, if it comes down to goal difference we will be in a pretty good spot -- not like the last time when we lost out because of goal difference.

[Philippe]

it was because of just one goal ...
