No more Dutch teams in the QFs of any European competition

So no Dutch teams in the QFs of any competition. It’s realistic to say R16 was the furthest they could have gone.

PSV

Bosz did a lot of rotation and experimenting but Arsenal simply was on another level even injury stricken and with B team. I think the introduction of babadi and Driouech will give him some thoughts of where to go from here.

The likes of Til, Luuk, unfortunately Veerman, Schouten simply are not CL level players. I also didn’t understand why Bosz has kept experienced karsdorp on the bench for ledezma who also hasn’t been effective also. The whole backline for PSV was ?????.

I think Lang and Bakayoko will move in the summer and but Driouech looks like a capable replacement. Boscagli is also likely to move. The return of Dest, Pepi and Tillman shud be enough to bloster the side again.

Peter Bosz needs to look at his midfield and perhaps other reliable CB. Bit disappointing veerman’s form has dipped. Maybe injuries but can be a good impact player for PSV for now. A fresh start with the summer camp maybe. Schouten I’m not really sure, I read he is playing taking pain killer injection otherwise he also has been average and also called up to NT.

Will add Bosz experiment has backfired in not so crucial games giving Ajax to claw their way back on top. PSV had the best squad in eredivisie this season and they couldn’t take advantage of it

Feyenoord

I haven’t watched a lot of their games and plus QTimber is injured other wise not sure if any others are worth keeping tabs on or looks to have a high ceiling. Though they have a lot of youth players now coming into first team and on the bench.

Hartman, Bijlow and Timber, stengs have been injured and a return would blister the team again for next season. Redmond their teenage striker is the one to look out for. Not sure though about RVP at the helm.

He didn’t leave a good mark behind leaving heerenveen especially when they started winning after his depature and noppert also coming back into starting lineup. Otherwise they shud be in the mix next season as well.

Ajax

Credit to their new coach. Work in progress. They will have to look elsewhere for players in the coming season to again bloster their squad. Hato has been in the news for departing but I feel he will just end up like rensch, Geertruida and others who departed Ajax and didn’t hit the ground rolling.

From NT point of view, well I have talked enough on this. Marketing and business as usually. Next in line and the conveyor belt keeps rollling.

Brobbey, I have mentioned this before. He looked good around better players in the previous seasons. Neres, Antony, tadic, kudus. It’s not happening for him around the current batch but maybe next if they upgrade the squad he could come into spotlight again.

Not sure though in NT and how he will adopt. Like I always say come NT, work load different and it comes down to more on your individual skill set..

AZ

The current contingent are the one to look out for. I have also said this before, give them another season or so and they will be title contenders. Wout Goes, Kees Smit , Koopmeiners, Addai their brightest talent.

Van Bommel and Poku and their young goal keeper. They also have a good bench. They just need to continue with this trajectory and fight for that 3rd spot.

Utrecht

Thought this is worth mentioning. Ohio is a striker is worth keeping tabs on. He played few seasons in beliguim before joining Ron Jans and Utrecht. Left footed and good on ball.

Lastly Mohammed Ihattaren. It will be intresting to see where he goes at the end of this season. A Europa team would a big step for him to continue with his come back.
