Psv stuffed 4-1 ,looks like only Ajax and AZ will survive until after the winter in Europe

Ended as a 4-1 loss for PSV. I wonder if dear MVB is starting to face the heat a little in Eindhoven now.

Even Feyenoord got a draw ,showing up PSV.

Please call this guy lothar von bommel, not MVB.
There is only one MVB: Marco van Basten.

Yeah it felt odd when I typed that in. Maybe lower case mvb?

Yes. Perhaps the lower case option is a better one.
A guy that does not deserve a capital!

But just referring to him as lothar will be enough, many over here would understand who you mean.

Just saw Willem II beat PSV 2-1! Saw almost the entire game and PSV wasn't in any sort of control at any point in the match. Zoet was benched and apparently was sitting in the team bus in the 70th minute.

Big problems in Eindhoven. Lets see what happens when the dust settles.

psv look absolutely horrible. they were destroyed by linz a few days ago. the absence of malen and bergwijn does not explain this. their defense is terrible and central midfield not doing much. I thought their summer purchases were pretty bad as well. brought in a German guy for 12 million who didn’t show much in Germany and was relegated. a Portuguese forward for 14 million who couldn’t make it a rb Leipzig. a Japanese guy for 9 million who had a few decent games for Groningen but not much otherwise. And they also brought schwaab back in a desperation move. so almost 40 million and not getting anything back. they’ll have to sell next year and a few players will get better but they might be in trouble for the next few years which is good with me :-)

PSV are in free fall. Big problem is that Luukinho de Jong and Lozano bailed them out in the last 10 minutes of games all last season. They were not adequately replaced and then the loss of Malen and Bergwign mean a toothless attack. Very little talent on the team right now and van Bommell even replace Zoet today. At this rate they will finish mid-table and exit the Europa League (unfortunate for coefficient points).

Came back from my bike ride and felt even better to see PSV have lost. They only have 2 decent players Bergwijn and Malen ,and they come from our academy and would not get starting spots for us. Promes and Tadic are better.

The 50m they got for Lozano and de Jong has been wasted and without European football after the winter break the 2 mentioned above wont raise more than 20m each at best.

van Bommel will likely get the sack this week but they will improve under Hiddink who will likely take over.

I still think we should be talking about the only contenders left. AZ... They continue to impress

Their front three are very dangerous and they are playing very well in the Europa League. they don't have much depth but if the starting 11 stay healthy they will contend in the league. I have not seen anything about when their stadium will be repaired. Would rather have the December match played on grass.

i thought i heard somewhere that they are close to returning to their own stadium and think we'll play them there

AZ having a fine season playing every game away from home.Hope they finish 2nd ahead of PSV

psv are eliminated from the Europa league after a 4-0 loss at sporting lisbon. az manage to score two late goals and draw to partizan and the team from Rotterdam plays 2-2 against the rangers and are all but eliminated

AZ flying the flag with Ajax.PSV are really rubbish this season.

If Rangers and Feyenoord both win on the final match day, Feyenoord will advance. That's the only way forward as any other result and they are out. For the sake of the UEFA Coefficient, it would be good it they can make it through.

Hard to believe I'm actually looking for Feyenoord to succeed - but must agree that climbing up the coefficient table takes precedence over ingrained dislike.

Not a good day for Dutch clubs yesterday. PSV could only draw while Feyenoord and AZ both lost. I watched the ManU - AZ game and AZ were quite good for 50 minutes but could not get the first goal. They really missed their striker, Boadu, who picked up a silly YC in the last match and was suspended. He might have provided more danger in the box. ManU scored a nice goal in the second half and then the flood gates opened with three more soon after.

PSV Eindhoven have parted ways with Mark van Bommel, they will look for a new coach.

I never thought he was all that good but management let him down by selling both de Jong and Lozano. They could not score goals.

PSV scrapped through their cup game against amateurs.

2 non leagues sides through and I must make a brief comment on them as they come from the same small town. Ijsselmeervogels and SV Spakenburg both from the town of Spakenburg about 40 kilometers east of Amsterdam . Ijsselmeervogels evidently the most successful amateur club in Holland play in a red and white Ajax shirt but red shorts ,the other team blue and white hoops so the town is either red or blue. Both have seperate grounds and great rivals.The grounds are next door to each other

Would like to see us draw Ijsselvogels away ,playing a team wearing our iconic shirt would be strange.Their ground holds 8000 .

Sparta beat AZ 3-0 so if we win tomorrow we go 3points clear .

mass chaos at psv. after their draw last night, fans tried to storm the club officials gate. de jong is in hot water and fans want him sacked. i probably agree with them.

also, bergwijn asked not to play yesterday as he is expecting a move to the spurs. the only problem: there is no agreement between the clubs. psv want around 40 million (!!), spurs are willing to pay 30, and even that is too much for this guy. last night bergwijn then posted a clarification instagram message which is pretty hilarious if you watch it. so not sincere. anyways, more to come. i just enjoy seeing all the chaos there atm.

Yeah things are dire over there right now. I think they also took a big loan from the municipality which is probably due soon. I'm loving it.

Feyenoord is actually in 3rd and ahead of PSV who are in 5th place right now. Can't remember the last time that happened this late in the season.
