Ajaxtalk

After what was perhaps the best match of the current season, Ajax entertain Heerenveen this Sunday. There is no room for a letdown if Ajax want to keep their title chances alive. Table toppers Feyenoord have a tricky home tie with Utrecht. Traore has been wasteful in front of goal and Dolberg is healthy now so Bosz has an interesting choice up front. Sinkgraven injured a knew against Schalke and both Viergever and Sanchez got knocks in the match as well. the depth of the Ajax roster will be tested with the return EL match coming up next Thursday.

Sinkgraven and Riedewald out with knee injuries.(Riedewald may well have been injured for Schalke the other night)

Deovaisio Zeefuik is added to the team sheet for tomorrow's match. It will be his first call up to the senior team. Meanwhile, PSV was only able to draw 1-1 away to ADO den Haag. We can go six points clear of them with a win tomorrow!!!

If we can win against heerenveen, that will put a gap beyond PSV Eindhoven's reach. So the last two games perhaps Ajax can rest players while securing second place and focusing on the Europa league.

Let fword win? Fword is still within reach. I wouldn't give up on the title just yet. There are so few games left and they are big games. These are the sort of games players are dying to play. I think the players will find the stamina to play two games a week cause there are still big things to win. As long as it's possible, we should go for the double. We're playing well at the moment. Let's just keep it up.

Considering the crisis that Dutch football is in, I don't mind Feyenoord winning the title while Ajax win the Europa league, imagine in august playing in the European super cup, a place in the dizzy heights of football, a taste of the elite. It would be amazing

Here is a great comment from the BBC Match of the Day Twitter feed on the relative age of the Ajax team that started on Thursday. I can't figure out how to embed it so you will have to click on the hyperlink.

Crazy first half in Rotterdam, I can't see how it will remain 0–0.

@orange at one point you could copy the tweet id and put it in tweet tags, but it doesn't work any more

The BBC ,BT and ITV all going overboard about the age of our kids but we fans just say ,so what this is what we do.This is Ajax and youth rules.

Zeefuik in the squad as Tete is ill.

Kluivert and Traoré rested according to Fox. Neres on the right and Kasper at CF. Didn't catch what they were saying about Schöne, I think he's starting.

Toornstra with three yellow card tackles, only got a yellow for one then scores the 1–0 for Feyenoord. Meh.

@Tom - how did you get the Tweet to embed? I tried several different ways and they didn't work!!

Oh so it worked? I did this:
But I can't see it in my browser (firefox). Just checked in Safari and I can see it. Maybe adblock? Edit: not adblock, for me the Disconnect plugin was killing the twitter link.

Schone back for Donny,Dolberg,Neres for Traore ,Kluivert with de Ligt CD Viergever LB

Elia with a really nice goal at the 80 minute mark pretty much sews up the points for Feyenoord. Utrecht are being pressed all over the pitch and don't seem to have a clue about how to deal with it.

A win today (as expected), followed by a draw next week, should put the eredivisie to rest! It can't end anytime sooner

We need to just win all 4 ,Feyenoord have a tough away game v Vitesse next week.Would say that if they are still top after next week I think they will win their final 2 games,Excelsior away ,Heracles home. Basically we are still very much 2nd favourites.

Got no help from Utrecht today, so a win is a must -- anything less and IMO it's all over.

Anyone have a stream? None of the ones from rojadirecta are working for me.

Oh dear we got caught badly Sanchez lost it by not staying on his feet

Found a half decent russian stream. Already down 0-1 on a counter attack.

Viergever a goal,bit lucky but its 1-1 We need to wake up

Well, we got the goal back, but the performance is a wee bit lacking so far.

1-1 - but yes, we do need to wake up.

I've noticed Klaassen (RM) and Ziyech (RM) are back to their original sides. Consequently all our moves are going down the left side.

I think we are playing de Ligt out of position. He's really an attacking midfielder!!!!
