Seven goals, seven scorers against Willem II
PSV 7–0 Willem II. Seven different players scored, and Jurgen Streppel's return as Willem II coach did not go the way he pictured it (5). Your team gave gas and took the bottom side apart (5).
Sven Mijnans got the pick of them. Peter Bosz called the finish from a Sergiño Dest cross "special" and said there were "many things coming together" in it (4). Mijnans is now on six Eredivisie goals this season, a pace that would beat his most productive year (2).
Ruben van Bommel scored too, and still wants more. "Three goals is not enough at the moment," he said of his own Eredivisie tally (8).

Club Brugge at home on Wednesday
The Champions League is back on Wednesday, Nov 4, at 21:00 CET, with Club Brugge at the Philips Stadion. PSV go in off a 1–0 win at FC Porto on Oct 20 (Recents). Then Cambuur away in the league on Sunday, Nov 8.
Where the win leaves you
Third in the Eredivisie, 23 points from 11 games, +22 goal difference. Form reads L L W D W, so the Willem II rout is the second straight win (Recents). You have scored 35 in those 11 matches.
Twente matched the mood
It was a weekend for blowouts. FC Twente beat Excelsior 9–0, a day after your seven (11). ADO Den Haag, the side that beat PSV 2–1 on Oct 17, lost 1–0 to PEC Zwolle and Robin Peter called his team "not of Eredivisie level" (14).
Saibari hurt in his first Der Klassiker
Ismael Saibari's first Der Klassiker lasted under half an hour. The ex-PSV midfielder came off barely able to put weight on his right leg, and Bayern München have confirmed the bad news (12).
A third De Jong return looks unlikely
PSV do not really need help up front, and a third Luuk de Jong comeback is not on the table. "Seems..." is as far as it goes (9).
Third tier of the Philips Stadion taking shape
More details are out on the third tier of the renovated Philips Stadion. PSV want the first renovations to start at the end of the season (1).
Fan reactions
The mood on r/PSV is about the numbers: 35 goals in 11 games, 13 different scorers, Guus Til leading with seven. There is also a thread asking whether the three-centre-back setup in the 7–0 win should become the new standard, with plenty admitting one result against Willem II proves little. Read the thread
