Topic: Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread - page 77. (Read 16268 times)

And there we go, that is why we are watching soccer! PSV has this weird goal ratio with 5.5 on average during the first games and then they give away three points. That's what Ajax is waiting for and you just can't afford to lose these games when you want to keep the pressure on Ajax high. I seriously hope that PSV quickly recovers and keeps winning their games as well or otherwise there will soon be no point anymore in following the Eredivisie closely.

Alkmaar has done beautifully well in the first half. What amazed me what the nature and duration of their 3 goals.  Goal at 21' and another at 27' and the third at 34' all less than 10mins in between goals. This could be a defensive collapse from Emmen team. This league from time has been my favourite league if I want to pick HT over 2.5, they hardly fail.
Let's see what 90mins has for us.

Ajax won confidently, the PSV defeat is somewhat surprising but the season is still long. But this way PSV is again in a tight spot in the direct duels and has to win them. We very hard this season again that Ajax is not again champion.

Today match Emmen vs AZ Alkmaar and after only get draw result from Nijmegen then today AZ Alkmaar will attempts to get 3 points again and on the paper their opponent Emmen is weaker than them so Alkmaar should be can win the match although Emmen good playing at home but Alkmaar still the favourite in this match and this also good opportunity to taking over PSV position on standings league if they win and the odds for AZ Alkmaar was @1.96 and head to head records showed AZ Alkmaar can win 7 times in total 7 matches from Emmen

PSV suffered their first point loss by losing to Twenteye. They could have done 5/5 but they couldn't stop Cerny. When they could not score the second goal, they returned from the field without points. They suffered their first defeat of the year against Twente. Ajax, on the other hand, continues on its way without loss. This year will be exciting too.

PSV actually is very deeply regretted conceding in 17' minutes and continue the mistake after 6 minutes. I'm not sure what the defender does to guarding Cerny until success to create 2nd goal?. and congrats to you, PSV is not as I expected, I hope they can create many goals like the previous match, but maybe something happens like in the last session, they don't have a focus to utilise opportunity, they often lose the ball in crucial time, maybe this is why they can't compete with Ajax.

Ajax is surely right now at the top of their game and with today win they are widening gape of points from other teams with PSV today's lost now they are heading two points from second spot team Feyenoord which is currently leading match against G. A. Eagles by 3 - 4, and we are in injury time in this game.

Tomorrow AZ Alkmaar can also take third spot as they are going to visit FC Emmen even things are not easy after today's shocking lost of PSV against Twente, but they are playing good and can achieve this result for having better spot in league table just end of fifth round.

We have 29 more rounds but most chances Ajax can lead the table without any serious table as they have enough quality to destroy any team at current situation.

We watched two different halves in the Twente - PSV match today.

PSV were so ineffective in the first half that this poor effort helped Twente capture a 2-0 advantage already. In the second half, Twente tried to maintain this score until the final whistle and PSV found so many chances to make a comeback. But they couldn't do more than scoring one goal only. To tell the truth I'm not surprised with PSV's losing points here. My expectation was a draw actually but PSV couldn't find the equalizer. I know that most of you were confident about a PSV victory. But Twente were like a team that would be able to slow them down after that great start. They were already not losing to PSV for some years in this stadium. Hence I decided to stay away from betting on PSV for this match. I'm glad that I did it.  

PSV shockingly loss to Twente,no body expected this after a big start. Ajax with this win and the loss of PSV is now first alone on the table and 3 points ahead of PSV. Also another shock is around the corner Feyenord is losing 2:0 against GA Eagles and its only the 20th minute of the match

Ajax won with a score of Ajax 4 - 0 Cambuur [FT] and ended with a score of Ajax 2 - 0 Cambuur in the first half. The goals were scored by Steven Bergwijn (2 goals), Devyne Rensch and Mohammed Kudus. With the result of this match, Ajax is still in first place in the Eredivisie standings with 15 points. While PSV only has 12 points and is in second place in the standings. Disappointing results obtained by them when they played against Twente at De Grolsch Veste, Twente made it easier for Ajax to win the Eredivisie title.

Ajax won 4:0, and continued their strike, and while PSV had 22 goals in first four rounds, they are now down 2:0 against Twente, still enough time to change that, but Twente is not easy team to beat, and especially looking at three goals for a half

it is what one said sometime, 1:0 wins, but every round, are winning the championship, you cannot score several goals each round, but it is important to be constant and score that one for the win each round

Beating Ajax in general is hard, but in a home game I think this season the only team that might be able to do that is PSV.

The stats of those offenders of the two teams are just outstanding. PSV has two guys with six goals after four games and Ajax has Bergwijn who also just scored his sixth goal. Must be fun to play for one of those teams.

But then it is also not that surprising considering that PSV has been averaging 5.5! goals per game...

I would like to see them play against each other, but that will be in November. Before that it is only about keeping a clean sheet for both of them.

Ajax has a home match against Cambuur today. they've been on the road for a little over half an hour and the score is still 0-0. Somehow a bit disappointing, because Ajax often sets monster scores against these kinds of teams. It is clear that Ajax will win this match, but it looks like Cambuur will make it to the break with a 0-0 score. That is an achievement in itself. The title fight this season is between Ajax and PSV, but Feyenoord also has a good selection and will want to go for 3rd place. AZ and Twente are the numbers 4 and 5 in the Netherlands.

PSV are playing an away game against Twente today. This is the first serious game PSV are going to have in this season. Twente have been a problematic opponent for PSV in the recent times. I mean that Twente drew with them in this stadium in the last three games in the Eredivisie. And they didn't make a bad start to the current season as well. I'm aware of the fact that PSV scored 22 goals in 4 games already which shows how strong they are in offense. But this can be misleading also as for the bigger games.

There is a PSG example for that. They also were having a similar form but Monaco stopped them suddenly by a 1-1 draw in the Ligue 1. Twente might do the same to PSV therefore I'm thinking of placing a bet on both teams to score @1.51.

this will be a test game for the PSV forwards I say that because Twente is a team that in 4 games only conceded 1 goal, they have the best defense so far, they are the only team that played 4 games and only conceded 1 goal, I don't believe this is a coincidence, it shows how their defense is very good and they have a good attack to the point that in 4 games they managed to score 8 goals, that is an average of 2 goals per game. PSV conceded 5 goals in the last 4 games, that gives an average of 1 goal per game, that is one thing we can assume that PSV conceded a goal in this game, and the question will be: how many goals will PSV manage to score? BTTS seems to me the safest bet for this game


 

they have become a team with a very profitable business, i just hope they also start thinking about keeping the good players to win the champions league because money also becomes an addiction, if they only think about their current strategy of getting good ones young players to sell and just want to achieve big results in the local league so they will just stay like this for years and not be able to win the champions league

Fortuna Sittard 3 - 4 FC Utrecht

result of this game is very strange, there were two penalties and in 30 minutes there were 6 goals, for a game that until the 66th minute had not even 1 goal I even thought it would be a goalless game, but goals started to come in from one quick way that shocked me with this result

Ajax never fails to identify young talented players. They form squads with qualified players. And gradually making them experienced. Ajax management's main focus is on young players. They make these players experienced, and sell them at high prices. And since they form the team with qualified players, their performance is quite stable. At the same time they are able to earn a lot of money by selling them.

Damn what a number! Ajax has always been known for these amazing transfers. It's really their business model without a doubt, although the sad thing is that it's tough for them to build a team that can grow together long-term. That's the disadvantage, but if they keep doing what they are doing they won't at least run into financial trouble ever.

A German article about Ajax's extremely successful transfer summer, in total Ajax made 216 million euros through transfers. So the coffers should be full should the autumn season not go well, millions are no guarantee for the title but Ajax definitely have enough money to strengthen in the winter should it be necessary. Now it will be even more difficult for the other teams in the Eredivisie to fight for the title.

Sittard would be playing Utrecht at the Sittard Galeen stadium tonight. These two struggle for points as they are being ranked at the 18th and 15th position respectively.
 Utrecht have not been doing well in their games as the last one against Ajax, they were beaten 0-2 and would need all the help they can get in the game today to push up to 14th.
 Fortuna on the other hand look like they are comfortable at the 18th spot because in all the games they have played, they lost all and to be honest, I doubt if they would have the will to fight.
 

Oğuzhan Özyakup joined Fortuna Sittard. He will play with other Turkish players Burak Yılmaz, Doğan Erdoğan and Tunahan Taşçı there. I'm sure Burak Yılmaz have high influence over this transfer, they are close friends. Oğuzhan Özyakup had only one incredible season with Beşiktaş, all other seasons he were mediocre at best. He should count himself lucky as he got two year contract with Fortuna Sittard. They were in last place without points in first four weeks. Last season they were just one place over relegation zone but this season they may not be as lucky as that.
Burak Yılmaz scored in almost every game but that couldn't bring any point to the team. Fortuna Sittard's squad quality is way lower than other teams, so I won't be surprised if they relegate at the end of this season.
