26 FEB 2017 Ajax - Heracles Match Day 24

[Orange14]

Another must win league match coming up in the late match on Sunday. Can Ajax win by more than a one goal margin leaving my fingernails intact? Will our new Brazillian winger, David Neres, get a run out (or even start) in the game. Who will get the start in our woeful midfield where Klaassen seems to be the best of the three? How with the mini-titanic between Feyenoord and PSV turn out? Will Peter Bosz continue to wear that dark grey scarf?

Same here. Everytime I watch a game, I have a fingernail setback.

The upcoming games for Feyenoord are:

PSV (at home)
Sparta (away)
AZ (at home)
Heerenveen (away)
Ajax (away)

And then after the five above in de Kuip they have ro play the team they always fear.... Go Ahead Eagles.

Feyenoord will win 4 out of 5 of those fixtures, then they will be hammered at the Amsterdam Arena. In which it will be too late. But it's ok. Ajax are still in the Europa league, as long as they don't underestimate their opponents. While feyenoord were out long ago.

They play 4 games until they come to Arena.
Do you think they will win 4 games until that one or 3 out of 4? I expect from the 5 above games Feyenoord will win only 3 matches, perhaps even 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats.....

I would love to share your optimism, remember Ajax have a tough away game at PSV Eindhoven at a later stage in the game. http://ajaxdaily.com/2017/lets-be-hones ... ngly-good/ read this analysis and you will see why Feyenoord will win the eredivisie. Plus, who knows how far Ajax will get in the Europa league assuming they get past Copenhagen and get another kind draw.

[SPL]

We just have to keep winning. A draw for Feyenoord v PSV would see PSV out the running for even 3rd place,us winning means we would be 5 clear of them. We have to beat Feyenoord at home and PSV away both will be difficult as we struggle to get more than 2 goals a game.

Looks like Sinkgraven wont be fit for this game. I want to see Riedewald Cd and Viergever LB for the majority of the remaining games.Sinkgraven is good attacking but isn't a defender.

[SPL]

Squad of 20 de Ligt back in . Sinkgraven ,Nouri and Cerny all injured.

[Ayman]

Feyenoord have scored the winner, and it had been coming. Feyenoord 2-1 PSV Eindhoven.

[SPL]

Unbelievably close goal by old Ajax lad v d Heijden. PSV out the race and if we win today they will be 6 behind us and they are not going to catch us. At this moment I dont see Feyenoord losing that lead we seem to struggle to score goals every game.

Europa cup will also take it out of us especially if we get through Copenhagen

[Orange14]

When we win the Europa League in an exciting PK shootout against ManU we automatically qualify for Champions League Football. Don't despair. FORZA AJAX

Interesting that Ajax have never lost away to Copenhagen but never won at home to them, in the two competitive meetings in 2001 and 2006

[SPL]

Yes Dolberg a goal

[SPL]

Now they score Sanchez just stood there. He made a mistake which ended with the offside goal.

[rjf1]

Klaasen on the spot again -- hard shot that the goalie can't hold -- Dolberg finishes up -- 1-0.

And as I type, Heracles comes down and gets the equalizer. Grrr.

[Ayman]

Is Sanchez burned out or something?

[rjf1]

Chance after chance after chance and no one can put it into the net.

[Orange14]

We cannot complain about not getting the ball in dangerous situations. Club probably should have had 2-3 goals in the half but of course could have easily conceded 2-3 more at the other end. Poor defending by both Sanchez and Riedewald on the goal by Armenteros. Traore should have put at least one of his chances away. Heracles are dropping everyone behind the ball and only attacking on turnovers. Ajax need to take better care of the ball.

[SPL]

We cannot covert our chances and I hope Neres comes on for Traore,Younes doing well. Sanchez having a poor game and now Viergever has a groin injury so he wont be back. Tete at RB and Veltman in CD or just de LIgt on .Anyone but Westermann.

This going to be a hard game to win .

[SPL]

Good de Ligt comes on.Our CD can only be better as Sanchez and Riedewald not having great games

[Ayman]

Interesting to see how Reidewald does at left back. He has played there before. I'm glad de Ligt is playing anyway.

[rjf1]

For all intents and purposes we aren't going to catch Feyenoord and PSV isn't going to catch us, so why not bring on deJong and Kluivert and let them run rings around Heracles -- they have to be somewhat tired from all the defending they did in the first half.

[Orange14]

Great goal by a great kid!!!!

[Ayman]

My goodness! De Ligt has scored!

[rjf1]

Finally!!! After Ziyech blows his 'all alone in on the goalie' sure goal, he delivers a corner kick that deLigt heads into the net for the goal that was coming for a long time.
