And yeah, this new formatting is hard to get used to. The adverts look just like the posts and I suspect that is the reason for the change. They want us to click on the adverts inADVERTentedly.

Dunno how close to full fitness Botteghin is, but Senesi looked alright when coming on for Ié playing as a RCB. Looked more composed than Jan-Arie and Ié.
and yeah, managers usually don't usually change much, but I'd imagine that it's time to give Larsson a chance again.
Well this is going great...though j just now Jørgensen scored. But horrendous defensive mistakes earlier, both leading to RKC goals. Geertruida is very suspect defensively.
Anyway, a well taken goal from Jørgensen. Hope this is a sign of things to come.
Also I think our midfield's biggest problem is Kökcü. He's just not quite there, not yet at least. There's nothing in him that stands out and he's not physical enough, nor are his decisions quick enough.
Well, 2-2, Larsson from a free kick. Level now. Haps got the free kick. Larsson has already been better than what Sinisterra has shown all season to be honest.
What an asshole that RKC keeper was - clearly said something nasty to Berghuis who proceeded to nudge with his elbow a bit. Dude looks around, shouts, and falls on the ground like he's been assassinated by a sniper. And then tries to have words with Berghuis after the game too.
Anyway, I'll take the win. We did create the chances. RKC scored two lucky goals and we came back from behind and won. Senesi has improved, hope he won't be sidelined for too long. Kökcu improved for the second half, but I'd still like to see e.g. Ayoub or Tapia starting instead of him. And I guess this might have been it for vd Heijden again, unless there some other reason than general shakiness for his benching.
Jorgensen scored a goal again, so there's improvement there, but he still looks a bit sluggish and out of shape. He's very conservative with his sprinting. Larsson was a clear improvement over Sinisterra, and plays better together with the rest of the attack. Berghuis just wasn't meant to score here Otherwise he showed a few good flashes and made even some runs with the ball, which he hasn't done all that much this season; hope he'll continue regaining his form. Man of the match? Haps again? He did make one mistake there, but he did so much for our offense. He must be the most athletic guy in the league, it's absolutely incredible just how fast he can switch direction, how good his balance is, and how quick he's off his feet.
Clocker, I agree with your assessment of Haps. He is one of the few who brings the energy every match. And Larsson was a big improvement over Sinisterra. I wish Kokcu would show more of why we didn't let him go in the summer. What: a single goal and no assists for the so-called playmaker position? Ayoub would have racked up bigger numbers by now had he been starting instead.
Haps has been our most consistent player this season and surprisingly seems to be the fittest defender too.
Berghuis could have yesterday got a hattrick but he seemed to miss the easiest chances It was good to see Senesi get the winner. Despite us conceding those early goals, Senesi actually hardly set a foot wrong. Jan-Arie got subbed at HT because of his yellow card, while Geertruida looked a bit suspect defensively.
Jorgensen probably still needs a few weeks to be himself. Quite some time, but as we have no alternatives, he'll get that time.
Senesi will btw not travel with the Argentinian u23s because of the injury to his arm/wrist. No news yet on whether it's broken or not, although I would imagine he'd use a splint in games and just play.
Thanks for the reporting Wally. And yeah, good to see Senesi score. Wasn't the first time he headed the ball either, you could tell! He did well otherwise too so I'm cautiously hopeful. I wonder what's going on with than Johnston guy as Tapia seems to get the nod before him even though Tapia isn't even a CB by training.
Yeah, George Johnston seems to be at the complete bottom of the pecking order. He's fit to play, but doesn't seem to be getting much playing time, even in the reserves. Liam Kelly is however playing for the reserves, but Ayoub seems to now be ahead of him.
I'm curious to see how Arnesen will do. Haven't really followed him since he left Spurs for Chelsea but he seems to have always worked at clubs with money (PAOK, Metalist before the money ran out, Anderlecht, HSV). He'll have to create money here.
Kokcu could become a sellable asset in a few years time. I'm not so sure yet about Geertruida, Burger and Bijlow, but hopefully we'll see the talents that there are given chances. Our Jong Feyenoord side plays once every 2 or 3 weeks, Feyenoord o19 is currently 11th. Other than Summerville, we've only sent no-hopers to Dordrecht. There'll be a lot to do for Frank at Varkenoord.
