So far this season, PSV Eindhoven has maintained their spot near the top of the Eredivisie table, but by the end of the year I don't expect them to finish higher than fourth and here's three reasons why:
3. They've had a favorable schedule so far
PSV has played Vitesse Arnhem and NEC at home, Twente and Heracles on the road. Twente and Vitesse Arnhem are seemingly decent sides, but PSV could only manage a scoreless draw with the former at Arke Stadion and barely squeaked by Vitesse at home, 1-0.

Phillip Cocu
Kapetan koji ne stari

Uobičajeno je da sportašima snaga opada s godinama, no Phillip Cocu ne spada u većinu. Nije on kao Romario da se šeće ispred kaznenog prostora štedeći energiju za onaj jedan završni sprint do gola, Cocu je igrač koji cijelo vrijeme sudjeluje u igri i to u solidnom prvenstvu kao što je nizozemsko.
