Topic: Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread - page 33. (Read 15982 times)

Eredivisie is back and this time, more coming actions this weekend to be executed in league games. International break is over, time to concentrate on the big games at hand. I'm just fully hoping that Ajax bounced back to league streak winnings, we have more games to look out for this season, but I'm always rendering my supports for Ajax, the team keeps struggling but they will definitely surpassed their challenges, because they stood tall over other clubs, de Godenzonen boss, Maurice Steijn rearranging his style and executing brilliant tactics in forthcoming games.

You expressed exactly what I am feeling as well. The big tournaments are amazing and fun to watch, but when these breaks happen it is mostly about whether or not all important players come back from that journey being fully healthy. It is the worst when good players get injured in some unimportant game.

Eredivisie is seeing some change at the moment with Ajax having some serious problems. And Twente could tremendously aggravate those problems for Ajax if they beat them in the next game. They would be 7 points behind Twente already, not to mention where AZ, PSV and Feyenoord will be at then. Of course it's still too early to draw conclusions here, but I think in the Eredivisie fallilng behind very far in the beginning sometimes means more than when it happens in other leagues.

FINALLY we are back to clubs games, i really dont like at all the national teams break, i only enjoy them when its related to a tournament like World Cup or Eurocup, but friendlies and qualifiers are not of my taste.

So Ajax its gonna comeback after this break? Or they are gonna still strugling?

It will be difficult for Ajax to keep up, they had a lot of departures, but Ajax should never be underestimated. Ajax already have a tough game with Twente this weekend, so if they lose that one too, it will be a lot of points.

This year, the favourites for the title are definitely Feyenoord and PSV, but AZ is also doing well this season, can they keep up this level?

Its been a quiet start to the Eredivisie league this season maybe because of the long list of player sales that happened to the league, so far Ajax fell off is bad as they are struggling only with 3 games in and only PSV, ALKMAAR & Twente with excellent records this season. Do you think Ajax can bounce back from the talent drain to challenge for the Eredivisie  title ?

I think this is PSV or Twente chance to go for the title; can they ?

it does seem logical to have best player rest before important matches, but these first matches in CL, and except if Feyenoord and PSV do prefer CL over Ere, I don't expect to see much players rested before first round
maybe later during the season this could be an issue, but at this point, player should be good enough to play two times a week

with all said, how do you estimate their chances in CL groups, will any of them pass group?

I don't know when was the last time Ajax started the season very badly, but I must say that this season has been a clumsy start for them and the next game will be more complicated for Ajax who will have to play against Twente which is different Ajax had a bad start to the season, Twente had a good start to the season with 3 consecutive victories and 9 goals scored against only 2 goals conceded, I see that in this game Ajax could also lose points, that's because 4 days after this game against twente ajax will play against olympique for the european league game, as ajax did not win the Eredivisie last season

and this season is having a disastrous start, I believe that the coach can choose to spare players in the game against twente, so that they can at least get a draw and focus on the game against olympique, because they have good results in the european competitions in addition to If they get money, they will also be able to please the fans and as we are still at the beginning of the season there will still be time for Ajax to recover in the Eredivisie

---

The two big teams that are at the top, I'm talking about Feyenoord and PSV, will have easy games in the league, but the problem is that a few days later there will be games in the European Champions League, I'm wondering if the coaches will choose not to put their best players on the field in the next league game or will save players for the European champions league games, I prefer not to make multibet bets when I see that there are champions league games nearby, this is because coaches save players looking for the European champions league games.

Well seems like my comments are not aging so well, when i want to change my point of view about Ajax, they draw the last game, and i dont have in my mind the last or ten years start of Ajax, but its this start in Eredivisie one of the worst for them?

Feyenoord defeated Utrecht 5-1 away from home. I can say that Feyenoord had an easy game as they had plenty of chances to shoot against their opponent. With this win, Feyenoord managed to increase their points to 8 and moved up to 4th place.
Ajax, on the other hand, played to a goalless draw away to Fortuna Sittard. Ajax continues to lose points in matches in the championship race. While their opponents are 3/3, Ajax has already fallen 4 points behind with 2 draws in 3 matches.

Now as we have end of round four situations is clear for the top three teams most chances these teams will be also won their remaining one match and keep deficit widen from the defending champions and Ajax will also jump at the fifth spot if they are able to won their remain postponed game which is going to play on 27th September and 28th September.
AZ Alkmaar, PSV and Twente leading the table with just two goals difference between them but after the break Twente is going to host Ajax which interesting game even Ajax is having troubling start of this season but still things can come under their control after the break.

Defending Champions are also at their best before start of the Champions League and right now they score most goals in first four games which is good sign for them look like most chances we will have good entertaining season again with all teams are doing impressive work and have fair chance for the staying at the top of league table.

I agree, Ajax are not the favourites for the title this year, with so many departures in recent years. PSV and Feyenoord won their games again this weekend and Ajax only drew one game, which is clearly not enough. AZ is also on a very good path this year, the season will be exciting again.

Ajax succeeds in advancing the generation, but it is difficult to replace the one who is gone. They used to have a great young squad, but now with players leaving the team, Ajax is starting a tough league marathon. However, the matches in the European tournament will also be difficult. I think Ajax is not the main favourite in the Dutch league this year.

the games involving the big teams are over, and I confess that this is a season with surprises, for example Ajax who played against Fortune, in a game in which Ajax was seen by me as the favorite, but unfortunately Ajax was unable to beat the game and it is starting to show that last season's poor performance has not been overcome and that this season we cannot expect much from ajax, on the other side there is also another big one, feyenoord who played against utrecht, won and scored 5 goals, it was a game in which Feyenoord conceded just one goal, it seems that this season they will also fight for the title, in this game Feyenoord's superiority was visible

Another team that I consider a strong candidate for the title is PSV, who in these first league games are playing very well and as expected they won in the game against RKC, it was a very easy game for PSV who managed to score 4 goals and didn't concede no goals, so psv is in second place in the table with 9 points, with 9 goals scored and only 1 goal conceded, psv in these first 3 games is having a good campaign, if they can maintain this consistency until the end of the season then they could become champions. That's because Ajax doesn't seem to be in good shape this season to fight for the title.

Feyenoord won their game very easy, PSV and Ajax were postponed because of the Europa Cup games?

But I'm a bit worried about Ajax again now, they have earned about 117 million with the transfers to the Premiere League but also lost important players, since the outstanding championship title the season before last, very good players have left Ajax including the coach, it could be another tough season.

Nice to see Feyenoord took a victory for them, they need this one to not lose so much the train of the contenders, the other day i change a little my mind about Ajax, because i see finally they dont have a bad team, they still have some big players like Berghuis and Bergwijn plus the newcommer Gaston Avila in defense and Van de Boomen.

I was expecting Feyenoord to win but I must say that the goals were too many for a single game. De club van het volk drawed points in two games this new season, they needed to step up their game and make things to become easier for them. Hitting the tremendous winnings 6-1 on De Zwarte Schapen, checking to see the credits given was valid. Feyenoord have a promising future in league games, Almere City got humiliated by Feyenoord who was very fierce in the game. Feyenoord mounted more pressure on the visitors because they were craving for three points in the new season.

Feyenoord, who had drawn for two weeks, put an end to this and managed to add 3 points to their score by defeating their opponent. There were exactly 7 goals in the match and 6 of these goals were scored by Feyenoord. Feyenoord could have scored more goals in this match because we can say that they shot almost every 3 minutes. We can say that they will come to their senses with this match.
S. Rotterdam, on the other hand, defeated their opponent Heerenveen 3-1 away and took the lead for now. The hosts were the favorites and they didn't play badly, but they couldn't take advantage of the positions they found. If the hosts, who had more shots than Rotterdam, had capitalized on them, we could be talking about a different result.

Over the years, we've seen Ajax produce great football talents in their team and make good profits from their sales after few seasons with club. It was reported that Mohammed Kudus' transfer to West Ham almost asibe deal as that's why I think they  signed Middlesbrough forward as his replacement. The youngster I believe will make a good signing for the club

This round i think we have a really fun game to see, between Twente - Vitesse, both teams are gonna play seeking for the win, Twente comes to this match after a very bad lose for the european competition, and they are practically out after losing 5-1 against Fenerbache, it was on the paper the lose, but not this result losing 5-1 its a shame, so now they are gonna focus full on Eredivisie.

last season he managed to score 28 goals in 40 games, but we are talking about a league that is lower than the premier league so it is not safe to think that he could do equal or better in the Eredivisie, now looking at the price that ajax paid for having him, I think it was an exaggeration because Middlesbrough are not a great team and they have not done well when it comes to fighting to be in the premier league, that is, that player would not make them reach the premier league and I also very much doubt it that there were many teams running after him, so I think that ajax should have negotiated more to buy him for a much lower price.

about ajax's attack, well, ajax is still unstable in attack, if we look at their last 5 games, we'll see that they managed to score goals in 4 games, but the problem is that they in some games against strong teams don't score many goals, I give an example of their game against dortmund, it was a friendly game but it also served to see that they still need another good striker, but I also agree that they need one or two defenders, in the last 5 games ajax suffered goal in all games, even in their game they played yesterday, missing the europa league game they conceded 1 goal, despite having managed to score 4 goals and win the game

  even so it shows that there is a lot that needs to be improved in the defense of ajax, even in the league games in 2 games they have already conceded 3 goals and they were games against teams that are not very strong, so I wonder if they do not improve in defense , will they be champions this season? I still have a lot of doubts about that, ajax's next game in the league will be against furtuna, which is a team that hasn't lost in the 2 games it played in the league, it will be interesting to see how ajax will do in this game
