I think OBM and van der Heide together should be able to replace what Ejuke was bringing, even if their dribbling isn't quite on his level (though I'm impressed with AvH's shiftyness) I think they'll have better end product, they just seem smarter with the ball. I think they can finish top 3 based solely on how they've looked in the first two games. Still early times though.
Unrealistic as that may be they've looked quite good regardless of opposition. I know where they were I have to hear about it all the time, but they have (IMO) a better squad this season and some of their key players will have taken steps forward as they're quite young still. Either way I just hope they keep playing well and do some damage this season as Veerman will not be staying maybe even past the winter window, so...
I only watched the first 45 mins....he did well there. Any chance you have highlites? Need to see the goal and his goal line clearance.
Alvarez seems to have that #6 locked down. I reckon he's the favorite because of his price tag (15M), because Martinez is miles better. Hopefully Martinez can show that once and for all next weekend.
Yeah, it was a rather dull game because of the red card. I didn't think too much of it, but Alvarez is suspended and Ajax won, so win-win. Kudus and Antony were stand outs again, though. I knew Antony had world class potential, but I think he's already better than Ziyech. I don't think Ajax is able to hold onto Kudus for longer than a year, either.
Now that's a top of the table I can get behind.
Arjen van der Heide was really good again. I'm still not sure about his ultimate upside but he's been a livewire to start the season, very shifty, direct, exciting to watch. Joey Veerman is just on another level. Early times but I think he's the best midfielder in the league (Mohammed Kudus looks very exciting though).
Feyenoord to win the league on the back of their Disney documentary?
