Glad to have Oleguer and Wielaert in central D and Vertonghen for left back.

That would be a nice little back breaker; if Twente can't beat Roda at home after we just beat them away. How about 0-0 or 0-1, is that likely to happen? I haven't seen Twente or Roda play for years so I really don't know.

As far as Ajax - Willem 2 goes, always a nice game to visit. Two teams who can play technical ball. Win needed for us, of course.

Twente are playing well this season, and I think we shall have to beat them ourselves.

[Kowalczyk]

Probably, but I have to say they don't win their games as easily as earlier in the season. They've been unconvincing and a bit pale in recent matches. They eventually dropped points against NEC, but they had that coming for a few weeks. In the past two, three weeks Ajax have been looking better than Twente.

Having said that: we have games against AZ and PSV coming up, so we have to 'survive' those and keep Twente within three points' reach.

Twente play Roda at home, Fword and Heerenveen away, Az at Home then us away.
They will drop points in those games so we have to beat Willem and Sparta with PSV coming up
plus Az and Twente.

[SPL]

Looks like Schilder will be left back instead of Vermaelen, MVB likely to keep Vertonghen on the bench as he does not see him as a left back.

[SPL]

Well today Schilder is not in the squad so looks like Vertonghen will be left back, which is a good thing.

[saddlerian]

Well, had a great day in town, yesterday....let's hope for 3 points today, especially as Twente ran out 4-2 winners last night..

It'll all be down to the last match...!!!!!

[Kowalczyk]

Match is totally sold out.

Same goes for the other remaining home games against AZ and Twente, by the way.

Go to http://www.rojadirecta.org/. Both the listed streams are showing the 010 game right now which just got over. So, hopefully the Ajax game comes up next.

[Orange14]

3-0 Cvitanich. this team is RED HOT!!!

[rjf1]

Moving the ball really well AND getting goals to show for it -- this could turn into a route.

[Tom_]

Wow... has Willem II forgotten their defenders or something?

It's the Dario show at the moment, two goals and an assist.

Meanwhile, Suárez really has no left foot at all, does he?

[Ajaxfanuk]

Seems to be a real hunger from the players today its really encouraging to see
