Hadn’t really thought about Blind as that rumour seems less concrete, but I think you’re right about DMF. If Henderson goes that might just leave Mokio and maybe Regeer for DMF (not sure what his best position is yet). So they would have to bring someone in I think. Blind is slow but at least he can...

I agree with the principle, but on the other hand Tadic at LW, #10 and maybe RW is probably a better option than any of Godts, Taylor, Klaassen, Berghuis or Traoré at those positions.

Yes. I like Heitinga but it’s a big downgrade from Farioli.

It all depends on the squad, which is currently bad and seems likely to get worse over summer.

It always seems like a bit of a shambles with this club. The situation is not that different to 2 years ago - no coach and a squad that’s nowhere near CL level. You can see why no one would be rushing to take over. If the disagreement with Farioli was really over staffing and professionalism I don’t...

Yet more strange behaviour by the board if you ask me. This is the only manager that has had a genuine positive impact on tactics and organisation at Ajax, maybe this century. (I know ten Hag was successful but he had a great squad to work with.) Not sure what makes the board think they can tell Far...

Yes, I still want to know if anyone has ever lost a 9 point lead with 5 games to go. It seems like it should be some kind of record! I think I could list 10 players I don’t want to see playing for Ajax next season but the problem is I can’t see who will play those positions. RW and attacking MF are ...

No complaints about second place from me.

I do hope we get some better football and a squad that is not going to get thrashed in the CL next season.

Nothing major to add to what SPL said. That’s what I’m expecting too although I did think PSV would be 2 or 3 up by now.

Regeer could be a useful player, he’s a better passer than Taylor or Klaassen and he has a decent FK.

No way PSV will drop points.

I’m just a bit disappointed some more Jong players aren’t on the bench. That could have brightened up what’s going to be another grim match.

Although we have the CL money, a lot of players have CL bonuses in their contracts. I’m not sure how much of the extra available salary that will eat up but I’m not expecting an influx of superstars.

For this year’s silly season I am expecting an exact rerun of last summer. “Have to sell before we can buy” etc etc.

The refereeing seemed particularly poor this whole season. I think it’s partly VAR, which was supposedly brought in to make the game fairer, but it’s really just exposed how arbitrary the decision process is. Not that I have a problem with that because bizarre refereeing has always been part of the ...

Sutalo is definitely my player of the season.

It was a stupid place to give up that foul, but on the other hand Manschot had let much much worse go for 97 minutes.

PSV will beat Sparta easily. I think we’ll probably beat Twente too but we have already lost the title.

Agree that second is a great result for this squad. Let’s hope the improvement continues next season.

Yeah, our defense has been a big improvement this season but I wouldn’t rate any of the midfielders or attackers as good enough for Ajax.

I’m not going to bother watching live, it’s a 4 a.m. kickoff for me and I’m sure it will be another crap game.

I don’t see them picking themselves up to beat Groningen after this. PSV odds on to win the title now and you can’t really say we deserve it. I wonder if anyone has ever let a 9 point lead slip in the final 5 games before.

Berghuis at LW is a strange one. I don’t think he had many touches.

Another first half where Ajax can’t break down the defence of a moderate team. They have won a lot of these games in the last half hour, let’s hope they pull it off today.

Painful was the right word. Feyenoord didn’t really have a game plan, which left them just standing in the box trying to repel PSV attacks for the whole second half.

It’s 2-2 now and Feyenoord are looking really weak since HT. @SPL I think you’re right, PSV are going to win this.

Weird looking Ajax lineup has been announced. Godts benched again, AS have Berghuis at LW but maybe he will play MF and Taylor will play on the left. We’ll see.

No qualms cheering Feyenoord on for me! PSV defence was all over the place on the two goals, both off counters, but the game has settled down now.

Paixão just scored for Feyenoord in the 5th minute.

No Edvardsen so obviously Godts will start. Bit of a worry as Edvardsen has contributed a lot coming on for the last 30 minutes. It also sounds like Brobbey is injured.
