Yes, 8 points would be a big mountain to climb, but not impossible. Can't remember exactly, but I think we're trailing by a lot more than that back in 2011 when we secured the title in the very last round against Twente. F word is going to drop points at some point.

I wonder did Justin have his fathers number in mind when choosing his number. 4+5=9

damn, Feyenoord won 0-2 at Roda, so the pressure is on.

Cool, Eredivisie is back!

El Ghazi in the starting 11, so yes they wouldn't risk injury if he were to be sold to another club right now.

Starting 11:

Onana
Veltman
Sanchez
Viergever
Sinkgraven
Schöne
Klaassen
Ziyech
Younes
El Ghazi
Dolberg

Ok, there he did well

that's why I don't miss de Siem. He really should have gotten a shot out quicker.

Two subs in the first 25 and PSV guys keep on kicking the shit out of our guys. The ref needs the step up his game.

Bazoer's transfer to Wolfsburg for 12m euros official on both clubs sites .He has already finished training with us so has left the club. For a player that never really made a breakthrough to the first team, 12m is a huge amount. Sure he has potential, but I really think we made a great deal. I mea...

So, no triple this year. Little feisty Cambuur is through. Sad to see our kids weren't up to the task. We brought the "big guns" in and did create pressure for the Cambuur defence, but we missed that Sergio Ramos never say die attitude.Weak.

How was that not a foul on Schöne?! Well, don't think that would have helped anyway. I mean how many set pieces we got in this game and how many of them were dangerous?

Not much elegant football seen today. Lot's of bad passing, turnovers and wrestling in midfield by both teams.

Wonder what is the average age right now?

zzzzzzzz.

This is a message to Fword and psv. This is our year. And with the talented generation we have coming, let's say this is our decade!

Kasper Dolberg can't be stopped.

Schöne had a good half except for the penalty and a mistake or two. Relieved the Gudelj era appears to be over. At least against teams like excelsior Schöne is a decent choise for the holding midfield position. He can control the ball and distribute it nicely. He could be kind of like the "Pirlo" o...

Toekomst!

Schöne keeps Excelsior in the game. Klaassen has a good record going in penalties. I wonder why he didn't shoot.

a shot of great quality. He made that look very easy, but it really wasn't. Chested it down and boom. Nice drop by Doalberg.

Yes, Nouri and Cerny in the squad! I think this is a good message from Bosz. If you play well in jong, you will be rewarded with chances to show your worth in the first team. Certainly these two have deserved their chance, no doubt. Really hope they will get some minutes. Perhaps it's too much to as...

Nouri and Cerny really look impressive. Though the Kozakken defensive line can't be much of a test for them. Like we have stated so many times, would be very interesting to see them play in an eredivisie game.

or Eiting or de Wit!!!!!

I think even donny brook is better and he doesn't exist. .

I don't understand why Schone is playing in midfield. Maybe he is playing because of things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HcWfgl-nhQ Can't see Bazoer pulling that kind of a pass of his hat. I know we might be forced to pull back in to a more defensive mode when playing Celta away and ...

How did el ghazi miss the target on that one? Too bad, would have been a beauty and would have decided the game for us.
