Agreed. They got a young goalie to replace Scherpen, Jay Gorter (I think?). He plays for the youth team but isn't deemed ready.
well a goalkeeper without focus isn't that great, he doesn't seem like he's trying sometimes.
Onana had to play for like 2 matches, but after those performances and Tyton and Gorter being able to play, why bother playing someone who doesn't want to play.
I don't really watch any Belgian league games so the only things I know about Bruges is what I've heard on the radio or read in the newspaper. It hasn't been as convincing domestically this year as in years past but that was already the case under Clement in the beginning of the season before he left for Monaco. I know Schreuder has tried a lot of different things in midfield but has yet to find a real winning formula with every player in a set position (although that's also due to personnel, e.g. Odoi only coming in mid-season).
I kinda, ish, like the idea of the final league phase where points are halved, cause it adds some tension. But then it sucks how a good lead built up in the course of a year is (half) wiped out. It really screwed over Union this year - although they had started faltering already, of course.
Really? The only upside for me is the top teams playing each other more frequently. Are the Belgians still doing that?
I don't think they were trying to fix the kind of symptom you are (probably) thinking about, as there isn't really a runaway club in Belgium. Club has been dominant for a bit now, but nothing like Bayern: it hasn't been that long, they're not far in the distance, and there are other champions as well. (May have been Union this year - who just came up! - if it weren't for the play-off system. Which anyway does not involve play-offs btw. There are no knock-out matches, it's rather four parallel mini-leagues.)
He left a really good impression at Ajax while he was Ten Hag's assistant, highly rated by the players aswell. In the Netherlands he's basically seen as the safe choice.
At least Schreuder is likely to continue Ten Hag's approach. I couldn't believe when Ajax hired Martin Jol previously. But yeah, either way, all remains to be seen and proven.
He's seen as the cheap option as well. Feyenoord's Arne Slot is the natural successor but his buy out clause is 7 million.
Malacia and Senesi are certainly leaving. Til is free to leave because of his Russian parent club.
It's funny, cause Teletekst presented it as if Janssen was called up instead of Wijnaldum. But it's not like they play in the same position at all, and that midfield group does look a bit small now compared to the attack. But then Berghuis could be seen as a midfielder as well I guess.
Teletekst still exist?
True, someone like Janssen is unlikely to make the final cut.Teletekst still exist?
It's 30 players. LVG will trim it and put a few in the stands.
Malen and Frimpong have been injured. No real surprises.
Thanks, I just checked the darts scores (not that I'm into it)True, someone like Janssen is unlikely to make the final cut.
Yes, Teletekst is still going strong! I read it every day, it's a great source of quick and reliable information. Plus basic info on football from all over Europe (scores and tables of all major leagues and European competitions, as well as all big tournaments). They got a website and an app - I really recommend it.
Teletekst was just really loved in the Netherlands. I think that, until some years ago, it continued to rank highly in Dutch website stats, and that love for Teletekst has often been cited as a reason why a news site with short stories like nu.nl (if that even still exists) was enormously popular in the Netherlands.
Teletekst is just the best way to get info. No bloated stories, no clickbait, no ads. Just easy to read short text.True, someone like Janssen is unlikely to make the final cut.

Yes, the nostalgie is definitely there. Checking football scores like the 90s never left! (Although for part of the 90s we actually had a tv that was too old for Teletekst, so I would only get it when we were visiting my grandma's!Thanks, I just checked the darts scores (not that I'm into it)
That process was .. nostalgic
I could have sworn hearing about the discontinuation of the service years ago
)Exactly! It's just amazing.
It's my reading of the text actually, they don't really put it as a 'Janssen for Wijnaldum'. Those are just the two they mention.
Maple syrup went to your head. Understandable.It's my reading of the text actually, they don't really put it as a 'Janssen for Wijnaldum'. Those are just the two they mention.
Nah, that season's over, it's too hot now.
