Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread

[execijutiere]

Ajax lost 2 more points this week with a draw away to Go Ahead Eagles and with Feyenoord's win the points difference between them is now 8. Of course Ajax was the better team in the match but they didn't make the most of their chances.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, are slowly marching towards the championship.I must say that they had a very comfortable win against Sparta rotterdam.Although the opponent was not an easy opponent, the fact that they had so many shots and positions on the road shows this.

I think that with the results of today's games we can already see Feyenoord becoming champions this season

Go Ahead Eagles 0 - 0 Ajax

Go Ahead Eagles that came into this game with a good performance in the 4 games because they only lost in just 1 game, so it was a very complicated opponent for ajax that this season is not doing well, even if sometimes they get a sequence of victories, even so I I don't see ajax being the same ajax as last seasons, so Go Ahead Eagles got a good result, which was a draw in this game, while for ajax this result was definitely the beginning of a big nightmare because there are only 7 games to go the league ends. and to make matters worse for ajax and that in the next game they will play against Feyenoord in the cup game, knowing that ajax lost in the last game they had against Feyenoord, if they lose again against Feyenoord again it will shake the state a lot ajax emotional

Sparta Rotterdam 1 - 3 Feyenoord

well, this is undoubtedly a great victory for Feyenoord, which with this result will be further away from ajax, and what is most interesting about this result is that Feyenoord was playing against a team that came into this game with a sequence of 4 victories consecutive and that they are in position 6, this shows that Feyenoord is a very strong team and has very good chances of becoming champions, in this game Feyenoord managed to score 3 goals showing a great superiority in the attack, with few games left for the league ends (only 7 games to go), just for Feyenoord to win 5 more games for them to become champions

[Docnaster]

When I look at Feyenoord's remaining matches, I think they don't have a very difficult match. The only opponent that will be difficult is utrecht. Feyenoord will play that match at home. It would not be wrong to expect Feyenoord to be champions this year. When I look at the remaining aon matches, I see them as matches that are unlikely to make mistakes. As such, feyenoord's job is easier than their rivals.

The different points are not too far (6 points) with ajax, and the Feyenoord performance is look good also, they only lost in the KNVB cup, maybe because they aren't too focused and be more concentrated on Europa League and Eredivisie. And, maybe too early to guess them to be champions for this year because still have 8 matches yet. Ajax usually starts up the playing tempo at the end of league like they beat PSV in the previous session. the chance Feyenoord to be champion is still 50:50

Even sports is mostly unpredictable with any result in any match can bring surprises but after checking remaining schedule of both top teams I have feeling Feyenoord is going to win this season because their mostly matches are against weaker sides which can't stop them from becoming champions with Ajax still have to face PSV, AZ Alkmaar and Twente with here most chances they can drop the points and if things will be remained like this for the Feyenoord then they clearly have chance to take revenge from AS Roma and after beating them in this quarter-final they can go through into final of the Europa Cup as they have good experienced and quality players which are doing good job in this season, and they lost last season first final of the UEFA Conference Cup final against AS Roma now time to have better results.

Ajax isn't as sharp as they were the last two seasons. They have already not won 10 games out of total games played and there are still 8 games to go. Their stats were much better the last two years. Feyenoord kind of made a comeback from good old times as they usually were around 60 points or less by the end of the season. Now they are a serious competitor and could actually cross the 80 point mark in the end. Obviously it is Ajax' defense as they conceded 19 and 23 goals in the last seasons, respectively. Now they are already at 28 goals. But even these differences in stats could be neglected if they didn't lose the showdown against Feyenoord in the last game. That is what it probably comes down to and Ajax would be first due to their better goal difference (which they would have probably kept until the end of the season).

The season doesn't seem favourable. Ajax is a team that can do well and as always been the champions of this great league. But already the season has gone really far and it's rotating in favor of Feyenoord.
Some seasons past in Netherland Eredivisie, one could tell who will be the champion from a mere looking at the table especially when the season draws near to an end as it is now. In those seasons where Ajax are to get the title,  you can easily see by their leading points difference.  This season, Ajax is not in the picture.

Seems that G. A. Eagles is very difficult opponent for Ajax - it's already 4th game in a row ehen they failed to win against them. And now when they let Feyenoord 8 points away, their situation looks very complicated now.
Feyenoord won Rotterdam derby against Sparta 3:1 and it's one of key games in last phase of season - derby is never easy to win. And when you look at remaining Feyenoord matches - it's difficult to imagine them wasting 8 points lead.
Now Ajax have only chance remaining to win something this season - they have Cup semifinal against Ajax on Wednesday.

[Koal-84]

It really looks like Feyenoord really wants to win the title, Ajax's performance is just too little. Even as an Ajax fan, you have to admit that Feyenoord deserves to be first.

the last time feyenoord won the eredivise was in the 2016/17 season and after that ajax always dominated but this time it seems that everything has changed, feyenoord always look extraordinary and even they have only lost 1 time since the start of the season, yesterday feyenoord managed to win 3-1 over sparta while ajax had to draw 0-0 from the eagles, it is very clear that Feyenoord will become champions this season.

yeah, agree on this one, thought that Ajax will make a comeback, but after Feyenoord win last round over them, it is getting closer to their title
and it is always good to see underdogs on top (although it is hard to say that Feyenoord is an underdog, but rarely catching trophies)

I can see on Twitter that Feyenoord is now eyeing triple crown, Title, Cup and European trophy, kudos to them

[Docnaster]

I think that with the results of today's games we can already see Feyenoord becoming champions this season

Go Ahead Eagles 0 - 0 Ajax

Go Ahead Eagles that came into this game with a good performance in the 4 games because they only lost in just 1 game, so it was a very complicated opponent for ajax that this season is not doing well, even if sometimes they get a sequence of victories, even so I I don't see ajax being the same ajax as last seasons, so Go Ahead Eagles got a good result, which was a draw in this game, while for ajax this result was definitely the beginning of a big nightmare because there are only 7 games to go the league ends. and to make matters worse for ajax and that in the next game they will play against Feyenoord in the cup game, knowing that ajax lost in the last game they had against Feyenoord, if they lose again against Feyenoord again it will shake the state a lot ajax emotional

Sparta Rotterdam 1 - 3 Feyenoord

well, this is undoubtedly a great victory for Feyenoord, which with this result will be further away from ajax, and what is most interesting about this result is that Feyenoord was playing against a team that came into this game with a sequence of 4 victories consecutive and that they are in position 6, this shows that Feyenoord is a very strong team and has very good chances of becoming champions, in this game Feyenoord managed to score 3 goals showing a great superiority in the attack, with few games left for the league ends (only 7 games to go), just for Feyenoord to win 5 more games for them to become champions

This is what happens to a team with championship mentality. If you check past records, the position and condition u see Feyenoord is the same we always see Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in seasons where they play to be champions as it stands now, Feyenoord squad is hail and hearty in every match, be it the one they will win, lose or draw, they play good football. They are undoubtedly good enough to be crowned the champions of Eredivisie title this season,  I don't know if they his any reservations to that.

Yes, when we look at it, we see that Go ahead eagles is a team that is against the ajax team.In the last 3 matches between them, ajax did not have a win.This has increased to 4 matches with this match.With this draw, the league championship is now difficult for Ajax.I see it difficult for them to be champions after this. 2 days later they will play a cup semi-final match with feyenoord.It seems that their only goal is left.I expect them to focus on this match.

[Koal-84]

Tomorrow is the Cup semi-final match between Feyenoord and Ajax, for Ajax it will probably be the last chance to win a title this season. Feyenoord, unlike Ajax, have a tough game against Roma next week, the tougher programme there in any case, whether Feyenoord will put so much focus on the game tomorrow?

Isn't the championship title and the Europa League quarter-finals more important?

Mmmmm yes you have plenty of reason but its easy from away to talk.

But also Feyenoord know his chances to win the UEL are really low against the big teams we have this year, Man UTD ,  Barcelona, Juventus, Sevilla,Roma, etc, they are really strong, so i think they know his capabilities and limitations.

More easy, you know "its better a bird in hand than a million flying".

And one thing i dont know, for most of the fans maybe its more important the derby against Ajax than any other thing, but this only can be confirmed by someone from  netherland.

You're right, this year the Europa League is filled with very big names and it will be very difficult, even next week against Roma. I'm looking forward to the game today, but I assume that both teams will give everything, for Ajax it's the last chance for a title this season. Feyenoord also has home advantage tonight, so it will be even more difficult for Ajax.

More easy, you know "its better a bird in hand than a million flying".

It's always difficult to say, that's only know Feyenoord fans whether they the prefer to win in the Europa League or the National Cup. For me, the Championship Title would be better than both titles, but Feyenoord are well on their way.

KNVB-Pokal semi-final, currently

Feyenoord 1:2 Ajax

At the moment the game is pretty even, at least from a theoretical point of view, possession, shots, passes, etc.

Unfortunately I can't see the game, is it the same as the theoretical data or does one team have the advantage?

Of course Ajax has the advantage by one goal more, but is it also like that in the game?

After 63 minutes game stopped due to spectators riots, game was well-balanced with any team can win from here.

One of Feyenoord fans throw something from stands and it hit Davy Klaassen's head. What a shame:

Seems that someone is going to get lifetime ban to visit stadiums and Feyenoord probably will have to play some upcoming games in empty stadium and pay big fine. Game was resumed after some time, Klaassen returned to pitch, but soon was replaced.
Ajax won the game which was well-balanced as you said and they go to the final where they will face PSV.

Feyenord fan threw a lighter and hit Klassen in the head and he got hurt badly it was all blood on his head and the game was interrupted. I think they deserve a huge fine for this and an empty stadium for a long time. At such a huge level this shouldnt happen.

It's always very sad to see something like that, like in England, where they almost didn't manage to lock out the hooligans until they cracked down and used video evidence (it must be certain that it was that person) to ban the fan from the stadium for life. Should happen to the Feyenoord fan as well, in my opinion.

About the game, thanks for the report that the game was also not only balanced in theory, but also in reality. So Ajax still has a chance to win a title this year, in the league I don't think it's possible anymore.

[BitcoinAccepted]

It is of course scandalous what happened yesterday during the match between Feyenoord and Ajax. Yet the nature of the cause seems worse than it actually is. The photos look serious, but it's just a lighter thrown by the public. I think that this kind of thing has often been thrown in other countries, but that a player is not hit on the back of the head. In terms of content, it wasn't the best match, by the way. Too bad for Feyenoord, who can no longer win the cup. Maybe a small positive point for Ajax if they could still win the cup. But still a disaster year all in all for Ajax.

it was a shame what happened, not sure that it influenced final score
Ajax is in the final, playing with PSV, last year final replay

PSV won last year, we will see what will happen this year

will be interesting to see what will happen to Feyenoord and their fan after this incident, looking to find some clue in the news, but still nothing on possible penalty for them (is point deduction possible in this case?)

Lol, though very devastating but so funny. Fans are sometimes very unjust, I wonder what he may have done to warrant such. I'm still meditating on how the perpetrator of this act is going to be fetched out. Seeing that fans are so coordinated and cooperative, will it be easy to fetch this person and give him the necessary penalty for this act just like you said? I quest the punishment is going to be served directly to all the Fans and this will be so detrimental to the club. You know what it means to Play a match without fans.
