19 FEB 2017 Vitesse - Ajax Match Day 22

[Orange14]

Off to Vitesse for another must win match. Top of the table Feyenoord take on ADO in Den Haag. Thursday Ajax host Legia in the return tie to see who advances in the EL. Because Ajax drew on Thursday and AZ lost, the Eredivisie lost its automatic Champions League spot for next season and the winner will have to go through the play offs to get into the Group Stage.

[Cruijff]

Another must win game indeed.

It's about time that Feyenoord screws up. They play against Ado den Haag who are on the bottom of the league. The last time Feyenoord had to face the number 18 in the Eredivisie that did result in a 1-0 loss against Go Ahead Eagles.

[Cruijff]

Oh by the way Orange14, it's Match Day 23.

So it finally happened. This is bad. I seem to remember us beating dynamo kiev some years ago in a play off round, but other than that, I don't remember us going through from qualification. I fear this will make the gap between us and the elite bigger and bigger. Holland is such a great footballing nation, that it would be a shame if there wouldn't be a dutch side in the cl. Money really is screwing things up. I guess this will make you even more proud if we get to cl, because we know we got there without ajax being sold to some fat cat that would buy our way in to europe with the expense of our youth.

So it's the champion to cl play off. What about the 2nd and 3rd?

Is Neres going to be in the line up for the Vitesse game?

I guess I need to go back to remedial arithmetic. Sorry about that!!!

I don't know if there will be two spots in the CL playoffs or not. Third place hasn't been available to the Dutch league ever maybe.

Neres was just introduced to the team the other day and I doubt he is ready to play.

[SPL]

Squad of 19 ,no Neres and Sinkgraven out injured. de Ligt and Cerny not included,Cerny a slight injury.

Riedewald will play but assume Viergever may be LB and Riedewald CD.

How bad is sinkgraven's injury

[SPL]

Dont think Sinkgraven is badly injured.He took a knock on his ankle v Legia.

[SPL]

Riedewald for Sinkgraven only change.

[Cruijff]

Jep.

- Onana
Riedewald - Viergever - Sanchez - Veltman is the back line.

[Ayman]

Bosz masquerades as someone who gives kids a chance If they are performing well in Jong Ajax team. With Dollgirl going through a bad spell, Cassierra not yet ready, shouldn't Kaj Sierhuis be given a chance?

[SPL]

Oh yes 2 changes as Veltman is back

[Orange14]

I watched the highlights from the EL match against Legia on the Ajax YouTube channel last night. It was Ziyech who missed marking his man on the first Yellow Card that Tete received. Tete said he had to foul to prevent the Legia attacker from getting in on goal. The second Yellow card was bogus to me. Both players were holding and it should have been a no call.

Anyway, match on now. Go Ajax!

Does anyone have a good stream? I've tried all the ones on rojadirecta and they're either not working or are buffering a lot for me.

[Ayman]

Here we go, Younes trying to show off and take on the whole team, it comes to nothing.

[SPL]

Amol try cricfree

[Orange14]

Great finish by el Capitan in what has been a dreadful first half of football.

[Amol]

1-0!! Younes finally doesn't try to take a shot himself and lays it off.

[SPL]

Yes ,first chance of the game and Klaassen again.Lots want him to go but he scores loads of vital goals.

[rjf1]

Klaassen does it again!! Starts the play from inside the defensive half with a beautiful cross field lead pass and is in perfect position inside the Vitesse box to take a pass from Younes and put it into the lower right hand corner.

[Orange14]

Tough call on Viergever. I thought right away it was a Yellow card and then the replay showed he did get the ball. Kevin Blom had no angle to see it.

[Ayman]

Viergever is so over rated by Peter Bosz, de Ligt would be better, With Reidewald at left back

[rjf1]

Some very "home" oriented calls and non calls -- it's like the ref is afraid the home team will come after him.
