Alkmaar prediction

[eaglesdare]

I believe this was against AZ Alkmaar.

I guess be carefully going to the game tonight.

2-1 to Palace.

Anyone else out there who went to our friendly against Alkmaar in March 1966? I did, and still have the programme. 1-0 to the Palace, so we have form 😉

The last result was strange and Ollie will be all over that. I am going for a 3-1 which will move us up and steady the ship

 

[PalazioVecchio]

i predict a tough grumpy edgy game. With many yellow cards. They will do a low-block.

first goal.....Sarr in a goalmouth scramble. 63 minutes. Thereafter we will get a schoolboy-game score after Alkmaar falls apart.

I can almost smell the seaweed off these Dutchmen.
Jealousy can be a terrible thing. Why should we apologise just cos Crystal Palace is high above sea level ?

Smit recently enough if it's the same one. I presume it is, 19 year old midfielder.

Let's check him out tonight.

A step "down" as he shifts into U21/Wharton understudy; but the promise of 1st team starts if he meets potential.

Or he's crap.

Martens verklapt alvast één naam: Dijkstra rechtsback tegen Crystal Palace

AZ moet het donderdag zonder Denzo Kasius doen. Dat maakte Maarten Martens woensdag bekend op de persconferentie in aanloop naar het Conference League-duel met Crystal Palace. De trainer van de Alkmaarders verklapte ook alvast wie de positie van de rechtsback overneemt.

No low block according their manager. Expecting to boss possession and us to sit back.

Fair play to big fella .

Seems there will be approx 180 AZ people at the back of Block F of the Main Stand tonight, Staff/corporate etc with Stewards around them.

1-1, after the display against Larnaca ive come to accept that this Conference League might not be the stroll in the park i had anticipated.

Bring your singing voices tonight people

The Dutch League compared to the PL is so slow and weak that any results/standing overhere mean close to nothing. Considering our budget is between 6 and 7 time theirs we should be superior if we field a strong team. But we all know that means little on the day, look at Larnaca or Villa at Go Ahead Eagles.

Dutch teams are widely considered to be generally naive in their attitude of always wanting to attack, even against stronger opposition. I am not sure however that will be the case tomorrow. They usually play 3 upfront, so that will be interesting.

They have a couple of gems in Midfield in Smit and Mijnans together with the younger brother of Teun Koopmeiners. Goes in central defence is a maniac in trying to wind people up with shoving, pushing and pinching but suspect he will quickly be shown how to behave by JP.
Their goalie is suspect at long balls, definitely chances there with set pieces.

I am travelling over, going 2-0 Palace.

From their pre-match presser it seems like they have a few injuries, especially in midfield. I hope that means they play youngsters.

I hope they try expansive total football that made the Dutch famous.

There form is strong so you would imagine they are confident. I prefer this type of team as better suit us

Sadly nothing (except a useless feeling of smugness on this thread 😉)
