23 APR PSV - Ajax Match Day 32

[Orange14]

Another spring Sunday; another must win Eredivisie match for Ajax. With last evening's march to the Europa League semifinals complete, a tired club travels to Eindhoven to keep their title hopes on life support. Table toppers Feyenoord are away to Vitesse in an earlier match. The big issue is whether Bosz does any player rotation. Schöne was clearly laboring last night and cannot play 90 minutes. Kluivert was not effective in his half so maybe Neres gets the start. Dolberg should start in the middle. Sinkgraven is likely out so a very tired Viergever will again need to deputize at LB. I have not seen an injury report on Riedewald. Since the club need a clean sheet, Tete should start at RB.

In an interview with Peter Bosz
"I understand that two days to recover for PSV Eindhoven is not much but a result like tonight can give us energy and we were really happy in the changing room.”

Looks like he won't be resting any players for the match against PSV Eindhoven. That's ashame, players like Viergever, Younes, Schone and Sanchez need it.

[Ayman]

[Amol]

F-word are already up 0-2 in the 28th minute.

[Orange14]

Bosz has to know what happened in the Feyenoord match. This is the ideal time to do some squad rotation but of course it's not going to happen.

He is seriously such an idiot with 1. rotations and 2. insisting on playing Veltman 3. not playing Riedewald

[SPL]

Traore on the wing Dolberg starts. Will be lucky to get a draw. 10 of thursdays starters start today. No real squad rotation as usual.Why not start with Neres,Traore is a waste of space on the wing. Would like to have seen 2 of the 3 midfield kids starting.

[Orange14]

Why isn't Neres starting at right wing???

[rjf1]

Totally disappointed with the starting lineup -- had hoped Bosz would have been a little more daring.

[rjf1]

Again the lack of a right foot has Traore messing up -- if he had a right foot he could have hooked the ball to a player breaking free -- instead he turns to his right to get the ball set up for a left foot pass and there's no one there to pass to.

[SPL]

De Ligt gives away the free kick but a great shot by the PSV lad.Traore as always on the wing a waste of space

[rjf1]

Had a bad premonition as they were lining up for the free kick -- too bad they didn't have Ziyech to take it.

[Ayman]

PSV Eindhoven 1-0 that was inevitable

[Amol]

This might not end well for us. Bosz has about 8-9 really tired kids in there.

[souras84]

I bet they aren't that motivated after Vitesse's no show against Fnoord

[SPL]

Still think Tete v d Beek and Neres should have started

[Amol]

At the very least we should've had those 3.

[Ayman]

Sanchez recieving treatment was a scare

[rjf1]

I don't see why you say that -- a win for us and we still have a chance -- a draw or a loss and we can forget about it.

[SPL]

Moerno could have got a red for that.Good news Traore is off Kluivert on

[Tom_]

I think there's a goal or two in this—psv aren't playing much football. The title may already be done though

[souras84]

Take Schone the hell off the field. He's only causing us problems

[Ayman]

Moerno could have got a red for that.Good news Traore is off Kluivert on

Now Tete needs to come on for Sanchez

[SPL]

We could still win but not much from midfield .

[Orange14]

PSV is such a rubbish team this season. It pains me that we are behind at the half. Club looks tired which is understandable. Dolberg is getting mugged every time he touches the ball and Blom is only calling 1/2 the fouls. the foul leading to the free kick and the goal looked like a pretty weak call given de Ligt's complaint against the call. Ziyech is really not contributing other than one free kick. Bosz has already had to burn a sub because of Traore's groin injury and that was avoidable as Traore should not have started.

I'm pretty pissed off!!!
