05 MAY 2019; Willem II - Ajax; Beker Final

[Orange14]

Yes, another championship is on the line this Sunday as Ajax and Willem II play in the Cup final. It probably goes without saying that this is an important match for Ajax and ten Hag probably will start the same 11 as yesterday.

KJH may get a start

Totally agree with this - Huntelaar/Dolberg need to start this one.

i hope de jong also gets a rest. ziyech looked out of gas when he came off yesterday. i honestly think we can win this one with a few key players sitting it out.

I don't think we should take this game too lightly -- remember what happened a couple years back when we were supposed to beat Zwolle in a cakewalk and they wiped the floor with us. If we want to win this game we have to bear down from beginning to end.

2016/17 we beat Willem in the cup at JC Arena. A late free kick was put into the back of the net by a 19 year old Appie making his debut. Biggest cheer of the night for him.

Hope for a win tomorrow to get them in the mood for stuffing Spurs.

Disappointed that Mazraoui and Ziyech will observe Ramadan. They are professional footballers and should remain professional. They chose this career, knowing that they would have to make sacrifices. Even Dutch fitnes guru Rayomond Verheijen said it won't be a good idea.

For folks in the US, Gol TV is carrying today's game. Had to do a little digging around to figure that out.

Unfortunately, Verizon FIOS doesn't carry Gol TV on my plan!

Kristensen for Veltman,Mazraoui for Schone and KJH for Neres. Hope to get a stream today dont think there will be so many for a dutch Cup game even a final.

[Orange14]

Found a good AceStream for the match. Interesting change in the lineup. I'm wondering if Mazraoui starts in the MF against Tottenham.

[rjf1]

Nervous start for both teams -- having trouble keeping the ball in bounds.

[Tom_]

Kristensen’s an oaf isn’t he. Willem II won’t be able to keep this press up for 90 minutes especially if the ref starts calling fouls

[rjf1]

We are too slow of foot and too slow in our ball play. We have to pick up the pace.

[rjf1]

And yet, we manage to open the scoring -- Daley Blind glancing in a header.

[rjf1]

And Hunts immediately adds a second with some nice maneuvering and a cool finish. This is more like it!

[Tom_]

Nice goal rounded off by KJH. When we get the passing going they can’t stop us

[Amol]

Up 0-2 at HT. The game never moved out of 3rd gear. The ref is allowing too many fouls and that is killing our play.

Maybe Ekkelenkamp on for De Jong in about the 70th minute if we're still up.

[Orange14]

Two nice assists from Ziyech. Defense was quite loose early in the match and Tagliafico blundered badly when he let his man get to the inside. Pressure is really affecting Willem II. One more goal should seal this one.

[SPL]

2 well taken goals a 3rd should seal it. Not playing flat out so hope the 2nd half will be comfortable for us.

34th min our fans cheered for Appie ,they wont forget him.

That was really sweet.

I hope they do this for all the remaining matches this season!!!

[rjf1]

Did the ref forget to bring his yellow cards?

[Ayman]

0-4! Nissen!
