Dutch clubs European silverware run 2018-2019

Exactly my thought, that was not a foul. That’s said, the free kick was simply too beautiful.

PSV has a couple decent chances with Pereiro and Bergwijn inside the opening 13 minutes. They should have at least tested the GK.

 

I just got home for the second half.
I'm guessing it was all one-way traffic for Barcelona so far, am l right??

 

Barca are such classy fans. They clapped at Zoet's save and also at some of PSV attacks

 

Hugely disappointed with the result! Barca were good, but I though PSV had a decent chance to keep the defeat low. I found the substitution of Viergever (Isimat-Mirin) was a strange one. The defense looks awfully unorganized since that moment. Not saying Viergever would save all the subsequent three goals, but changing the defense in a critical moment like that was certainly confusing. Pereiro and Luuk De Jong offered no speed, especially if the intent was to counter-attack. Maybe Van Bommel should have gone with Malen, but of course, Luuk was the captain - so hard to sell there. 1 shot on target (out 14 attempts), I think the shot that tested the GK was from Angelino, a left-back, of all people!! That's simply terrible at this level, regardless who the opponent is. Oh well, onwards for tomorrow's Ajax game.

 

I actually vBommel will EVENTUALLY turn into a really good coach (or manager, or what have you).

He's got that feel to him

 

Nice win by Ajax!! Only watched the second half. I thought everybody played well. One-way traffic... defense wasn't tested at all. I don't think Onana touched the ball, except for the formality of goal-kicks. Van De Beek lighted up the midfield when he came on, he was energetic and looked hungry capitalizing his playing time. Well-taken goal... I hope the goal gave Ten Hag the much-needed confidence. V.D Beek over Schone, every day. And we need Donny to perform week-in, week-out to be an option for Oranje.

 

Depay got an assist yesterday

 

Kluivert wasnt even on the bench yesterday

 

Pretty disappointing result for PSV. I only watched the first half and a few opening minutes of the second, I thought the game was balanced and quite competitive. Both teams had some good moments and produced decent scoring chances. The midfield, save Rosario (who covered his ground and scored a cracker), was the weakest link for PSV. Too many lost battles there. Pereiro in particular was ghosting a lot, I recalled his only notable move was a shot that bounced off the goal post. Luuk De Jong was hugely ineffective. Inter's GK not seeing red after handling the ball outside the box (quite deliberately, I must add!) was mind-boggling. It could have been the turning point of the match.

At any rate, uphill battle from here on for PSV to qualify (which was a monumental task to begin with). If there's any consolation, Tottenham were also with zero point after two games. So I guess the battle for the third spot is on!

Overall, it was a discouraging night for Dutch contingents in the UCL. Groeneveld scored for Brugge, but they lost. Liverpool was on the losing end, too.

 

I put 5 Euros on a PSV draw just now

 

Damn you Harry Kane!!!
