Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[shogun47]

Ajax has been consistent so far in couple of games the have played in the recent time, for now they can boast to face any team in their league side with the confidence to win, after the international break immediately the league football resumed Ajax was seen with a low performance that made them draw in most of their club encounter, with the recent display of Ajax I will say that they have returned to their winning ways.

I would say Ajax has been less consistent than we have been used to for quite a while now, but of course they are still at the top of table for a very good reason. But for the Eredivisie it was about time that some more competitors can break the dominance of PSV and Ajax, and who knows if they break it eventually, but for the competition it is a good development.

A lot of leagues often suffer from this problem that it's always the same clubs that dominate the top and sometimes even only a single club. In the Netherlands PSV and Ajax had their duel and now with Feyenoord they have a real contender for the championship. There will be some exciting games hopefully.

It was so close for AZ, but Feyenoord finally ends winning.

It can be so good if Az win that match, we can have a three band fight.

we still can see three band fights even AZ lost, as I know 5 different points is not too far with 16 matches until the end. AZ still has chance to beat Ajax (europa zone) or even Feyenoord. So I think, this session is enough competitive, It's not possible also for Twente and PSV to shift them. so that situation, Feyenoord must watch the step

narrowly losing 2-1 made AZ fail to rise to the top to shift feyenoord & ajax, but seeing that there are still many matches that will occur, i agree with you that AZ still has a great chance to climb to the top, but the competition will be very tight because of ajax and feyenoord are a team that is quite consistent and stable in every match that occurs.  so far feyenoord has lost 1 time and ajax has lost 2 while AZ has lost 4 times.

[Koal-84]

Feyenoord and Ajax (after being eliminated from the Europa League) have won once and submitted. PSV is playing right now and is also in the lead, after the elimination from the Europa League, the Eredivisie must now tremble a little that Portugal does not pass again.

It seems that the Ajax team is determined to move to the top of the table. Consistently, this team has been able to continue to perform well in every match. Ajax won 2-1 against Vitesse in the last match. And now Ajax team is only 3 points behind Feyenoord. But Feyenoord's performance is very good. Their performance against Alkmaar, one of the strongest teams this season, was quite good and they managed to win. Feyenoord, Ajax and Alkmaar are fighting for the title this season. These three teams are likely to fight for the title till the end of the season. Because the performance of these three teams is quite stable this season.

[Zackgeno96]

All top teams have won in the Eredivisie, but PSV had the toughest opponents as Twente is also quite high. So we don't see any changes in the top of the leaderboard. Feyenoord comfortably 4 points ahead you would say, but Feyenoord still has a tough program ahead of them and the title is therefore not yet certain. We can erase PSV, but Ajax still has enough time to start the catch-up race for the championship. Feyenoord itself won very easily today and was even 0-3 ahead of Fortuna Sittard at halftime.

[execijutiere]

Feyenoord continues to win. After beating fortuna sittard 4-2 away, feyenoord are doing their best to become champions this year. It was important for them to beat az alkmaar last week. With a small point difference between them and their rivals, they cannot afford to lose points.
Ajax also got 3 points by winning 2-1 away from home. Of course, they may also be in shock of being eliminated by Union Berlin.
Perhaps the most challenging match of the day was PSV-Twente. This match was important for both teams. If Twente had won, both teams would have equalized their points.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Good and deserved victory from Feyenoord, who had already done the job at half time. PSV also played sloppy but eventually won convincingly. Based on the entire season, Feyenoord made the most stable impression, but Ajax does have a lot of quality in its team. It is quite possible that the roles will be completely reversed in a few weeks and that Ajax will be at the top again. After all, the difference is only 4 points. It's great how Volendam has strung together the points after the winter break and is out of relegation worries for the time being. But that's for now. A cub like groningen should not be in 17th place. You could perhaps expect from Emmen that they would be last.

[Koal-84]

PSV also won the match, only Twente seems to be losing touch with the top of the table. It looks like it will be a race between four teams for the title.

Feyenoord are still favourites, but Ajax are getting better and better in the league and I'm curious if Feyenoord can keep their form until the end?

PSV and Ajax got eliminated from Europa league, so now they will be able to focus on Eredivisie only, while European campaign continues. It can be factor in title race.
And yeah, it's safe to say that Twente is out from fight, they're 12 points behind already and from recent 7 games they have won just 2.

Yes, that is correct that PSV and Ajax have been eliminated internationally, they can focus on the league. But for the Eredivisie the elimination of the two teams is not good and they lose points in the 5-year ranking.And yes Twente ist Out of thenrace.

[BitcoinAccepted]

PSV and Ajax can fully focus on the competition. But it has already come out a few times that the Feyenoord players are the most fit of all, while they usually also play in Europe. Last year they even reached the final of the Conference League. This year they are the only Dutch club still active in the EL. A let down for Ajax and PSV, we can say. Ajax has enough chance to become champion. AZ is also somewhere at the top, but at Twente you can immediately see that they are nowhere near good enough to become champions, the gap just FEyenoord has become really big now. Feyenoord has been undefeated since September 2022.

[Volgastallion]

Well Feyenoord now have some problems, because Ajax and PSV can only focus on home league after going out of europe.

Lets see if they can manage the pressure, they dont have a big gap, i dont know but i feel like Ajax its gona be the champion, they have better and long squad.

PSV won the game against Twente and was a very easy victory and with this victory PSV has a sequence of 5 games without losing, but because in the last 5 games they had 2 draws they lost points and with that they are in fourth position , If they didn't have these 2 draws, we were victories they would be with 52 points and at the top of the table. While Ajax that comes from a sequence of 5 consecutive victories in the league can become champion this season, they just need to expect Feyenoord to make mistakes and lose points and knowing that Feyenoord has Europa League games I believe Feyenoord players exhausted in the next games and will lose points and ajax had become the leader of the table that consequently became champion

currently the difference in points between Feyenoord and Ajax is 3 points but I'm not sure whether Ajax will be able to shift the position currently occupied by Feyenoord. only 10 matches left, and if Feyenoord can keep playing well and stably then they won't be overtaken by ajax. this time is a golden opportunity for Feyenoord to become a champion because in previous years it was Ajax who was already the champion.

Even though Ajax fell behind, they won and they continued to be in the leadership race with a score of 2-1.  Feyenoord beat Fortuna Sittard 4-2.  With this win, Feyenoord is still the leader in the summit race, 3 points ahead of Ajax.  In the tough match of the week, PSV managed to beat Twente 3-1 at home.  If we talk about AZ Alkmaar, they continue to win in the league.  They are in the top 3 in the standings and still mathematically in the championship race.

~snip

this will be an issue for Feyenoord, especially since they are still in European competition, so additional matches there
but I do think that home championship should be a priority for them, since they got last title in 2017 (and that was the only one in 21st century for them)

Ajax is in winning strike, and will use any drops from Feyenoord to clear this 3 points that they are behind as of now

I have one question for all of us, wich team its the mayor deception to you until now in this season?.

Im between Groningen and Vitesse, but for me its clearly Vitesse, they build a good team in this season with some "stars" for a team in the Eredivisie like Marco Van Ginkel (i know he comes in febraury). But they performance was really bad, that start of season was horrendous, and after Cocu take the lead of the team, they also keep sucking at all.

What are your teams, we allways talk about the big ones or the ones who are gonna fight the champion, but its interesting to see what team have good hype before the start of the season and ended like shit.

Good question. I don't follow weaker teams in Eeredivisie that much to know them in detail, but probably Vitesse is the most obvious case. On paper it's solid team, which should fight for Conference league spots and not be near to relegation zone. Another team which surprised in negative way is Groningen. Don't know what's exactly wrong with them, but it's strange to see them in relegation zone.
From underdos who surprised positively, offcourse it's Sparta Rotterdam. It was difficult to predict that they will fight for spots in UEFA cups, probably more people saw them in relegation zone before the season.

Eredivisie is not like another league which we always watch when the team plays on every week. Eredivisie is different from the premier, seri a, la liga or another favorite league here, so i am really sure you will not receive any significant answer. But for me, a team like Ajax will make us surprise until the end of the session. Believe me, they will chase Feyenoord if different points are not too far like now.
