Underestimation is the name of the game. We hopefully will be considered such a cakewalk that we might be able to suprise the group. As in get third place maybe. That would be above expectation tbh with this squad considering we lost/sold some of our most important players this summer.
Hope the ManCity players watch the second half and do this: and still having a laugh walking up the stairs onto the pitch
How hard can it be to have a small dosis of vaped weed flowing through the ventilation of their dressing room?
Demmit, looks like Niko is out against ManCity. He had problems before on that green plastic, so why on earth taken the risk? A very good CL spell could up his value with 10 million. We had enough fire power against Heracles to be able to let him sit. 83013
Looks like we're in the driver's seat this season. PSV without Lozano a few matches after a red card, taking the sting out of the team. Wonder if he's out for the PSV-Feyenoord match. You know, protest etc.
AD Sportwereld's ratings: Heracles Almelo – Feyenoord 2-4 Heracles Almelo: Castro 5,5; Breukers 5,5, Pröpper 5,5, Hardeveld 5,5, Van Hintum 5,5 (64. Duarte -); Niemeijer 6, Pelupessy 5,5 (76. Vermeij -), Van Ooijen 4 (37. Monteiro 6); Peterson 5,5, Gladon 5,5, Darri 5,5. Feyenoord: Jones 6,5; Diks 6, St. Juste 6, Van der Heijden 6, Nelom 6; El Ahmadi 6,5, Toornstra 6, Vilhena 6,5; Berghuis 7, Jörgensen – (22. Kramer 6), Boëtius 7 (88. Larsson -). Arbiter: Makkelie 6 Man of the Match: Hij heeft een uitgesproken voorkeur voor natuurgras, maar Steven Berghuis liet in Almelo zien ook op kunstgraskorrels uitstekend uit de voeten te kunnen. Met een fraai schot van afstand zette hij de regerend landskampioen op voorsprong en nog geen acht minuten later lag ook zijn tweede erin. De behendige flankspeler voert door zijn twee doelpunten nu met vier treffers mede de topscorerslijst aan.
OK, Feyenoord have another big ask this week!!! They need to bring the Helmond Cup back to Holland where it originated several years ago. Liverpool were the Cup holders but got thrashed and gave it up to ManCity. Now is the time to be BRAVE!!!!! BTW, Ajax handled ManCity when they were grouped with them several years ago.
Hope they will be overconfident and sloppy, after the inflated win over Liverpool against 10 men. But still we need to be at our very best and not falling asleep in the second half as we did in two matches already. I suggest we sprinkle Belgian pralines leading away from the goal when KdB intends to move towards Jones. 83144
Going swell towards the ManCity match. After Niko's hamstring now Haps has the same injury. Think we need to move this thing from the harbour mouth to de Kuip! Otherwise we're going to be flooded. 83185
Volkskrant article on the Feyenoord Academy best class of 1997: https://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/waa...en-van-feyenoord-nooit-doorgebroken~a4515776/ I think it's too early to be negative.
ManCity grabbed it by trashing Liverpool. Hope we seize it and keep it until we loose against an amateur team in the preseason preps summer 2018 For those ignorants who donot know what it is: It started it's life in august 2007, when the Huisman family set it up and chose the club Helmond Sport as the first one to have it. The choice was made based on the liking of them of the club song of Helmond Sport: "Vur welleke club bende gai". (= what club do you support). The rule is pretty simple: as long as you donot loose, you keep it. The team that beats the holder is the nextin line. So tonight for Manchester City there is a much more important trophee at stake than the CL...tataaa, the Helmond Cup, and Feyenoord has the honour to try to bring it back to the Netherlands. And keep it there up till the preps!!!!!!!! You know what that means, don't you, don't you 83268
According to press spies Gio is going to play a 5-2-3 fomation and Diks and Toornstra seem to be the ones left out. The purpose of it is to prevent Pep's backs penetrating. line up according to the watchers: ManCity, probably in this formation: =========Mendy============Gabriel Jesus=============Aguëro.====== ==Walker===== =====De Bruyne=============Fernandinho==========Silva== ===========Danilo=============Stones=======Otamendi============== ============================Ederson============================ Ederson; Danilo, Stones, Otamendi; Walker, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Mendy; Gabriel Jesus, Aguëro,
^^That's cowardly football if they play that way and it won't help one bit. ManU's back line isn't all that good and Feyenoord need to attack. Toornstra is one of your best players and should be in the lineup!!!
Well, about Toornstra I tend to agree, but it isnot cowardly, as Amrabat in fact is an attacking midfielder, but also has defensive qualities. So when possible he will be more playing next to Karim, but if the pressure is on, his defensive qualities kick in. He will be playing on the right side the role Gio himself had at Barca. His defensive qualities are also in line to prevent Pep's favourite play with high pressing Danilo and Walker, which will be needed to isolate KdB from that side. So no, I disagree with your opinion.
Pep's press conference gave his opinion on Dutch football. "Guardiola ging door nu, ontspannen, hartstochtelijk op dreef, uitgebreid antwoordend op de Nederlandse vragen die volgden. Over zijn grote idool, Johan Cruijff. Over zijn vriend Ronald Koeman. Over Giovanni van Bronckhorst en het prachtige voetballand Nederland, een land van echte liefhebbers met een heel eigen ideologie. Het voetballand dat hij altijd zo intens had bewonderd." Glad he agrees with me about our football culture, and underpins my opinion that players should have at least 3 years of Eredivisie experience before being considered for the Orange colours. EPL does give shit about that ideology and thus kills our tradition.
Horrible line-up. One of the biggest strenght of Feyenoord was the consistency in the starting eleven and now Gio tries something new with some totally unexperienced players right before such an important game. Totally stupid.
When you re ready to change the tactical system you ve been playing with for decades and bench important players just for the purpose of blocking Mendy s attacks, you know something is very very very very wrong
