Good first 15 minutes and then Ajax stopped pressing. I have a choral performance this afternoon and we went on daylight savings time today so i'm going to miss the 2nd half in real time. Ratings won't come out until much later today. Hope for some goals and a clean sheet in the 2nd half.

Sutalo is healthy and needed because Rensch is suspended. Berghuis is still doubtful and I have not seen an update on Bergwijn.

It took a real fine save from the World Cup winning GK to prevent Taylor from getting the match winner. I was surprised at how poor Villa looked throughout the match, but we know how tough the Eredivisie is; perhaps Ajax is in the wrong league this season. Ajax looked very comfortable in the new for...

Decent enough first half. Ajax are looking more comfortable in the formation but Villa are not doing any pressing at all. Ajax had a couple of half chances but couldn't really create any danger. Brobbey has to hold up his runs and be more aware of where the back line is.

One of those ones that look bad in slow mo. Once the ref gets called over to review it it’s always a direct red. Don’t think Rensch can really complain, although it’s another situation where VAR is used inconsistently. Dutch league is the most aggressive at using VAR to review possible RCs. Tom is ...

Just win baby!!! (Famous American football quote from then Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis; equally applicable here). Unfortunately, the two teams right above Ajax have very winnable matches this weekend.

Finally a clean sheet!!! Rensch added some drama to what should have been an easy win by recklessly stomping on Lammer's ankle. VAR signaled down for a look and a RC was rightfully given. Another strong match from Brobbey who was MOTM with the match winner and then a nice asssist to a breaking Taylo...

Where do you think we’d be on the table this season without Brian Brobbey? Fighting against relegation. Anyway, great pass by Kaplan upfield to Sosa who gets it to Brobbey who left foots it into the goal for 10. Ajax look more stable at the back with this formation and only had one troubling moment...

Henderson captains the team and pairs with Mannswerk as the deep MFs. Five in the back agains.

I guess Kroes is joining soon?

March 15, I think is the date.

v'ant Schip will see out the end of the season and then move on to a technical role with the club for which he originally signed. I tend not to believe press reports about unrest in teams. Sometimes it is true and others not. Everyone knows that the problem is a lack of quality in the team and if yo...

Watched the last 10 minutes of the first half and all of the second half. JA have too many players who want to be heroes and force plays that are not there. Embarrassing goal in the 2nd half as the CB tried to bring the ball up field and was easily dispossessed. de Graff was chipped by a 40m lob sho...

Hato said no verbal agreement has yet been made. He is 18 in a couple of weeks so hope it is soon agreed

Based on his current form and lack of strength, I don't see many top teams coming after him right now. they want a drop in starter.

Let's add this trophy to all the others!!!

The great comeback starts this coming Sunday as Ajax host Utrecht. 11 league matches left to go and Ajax will surprise us all with a total win out!!!! UP from the depths of despair.

this is about as good as it gets for this Ajax team. With no wingers, van't Schip decides to play three in the back and opt for a conservative approach to the match. As with virtually everything the club has tried this season, it was a failure. There was just not enough quality on the field compared...

A charity match with Ajax legends against Liverpool legends is scheduled for mid-March. The Ajax roster has just been announced. Aron Winter Clyde Wijnhard Danny Blind Dennis Gentenaar Derk Boerriger Eyong Enoh Jan van Halst Jari Litmanen Kiki Musampa Kenneth PErez Michael Krohn-Dehli Nordin Wooter ...

Just come in seen Ajax v Villa ,well I would have put money on us getting them.When the Europa draw took place we drew the top teams in all the 3 pots so today was only ever going to be Villa. No hope on this seasons form and we used up all our luck last night. Sutalo is suspended for the match so ...

Aston Villa. Can’t remember the last time we beat an English side in a knockout tie. Doubt this will be the one time we do. all of Ajax's European results are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Ajax_in_European_football A quick look at the results indicates that the only KO win by Ajax over an...

Aston Villa. Can’t remember the last time we beat an English side in a knockout tie. Doubt this will be the one time we do.

Used up all the luck in the win last night. It was only fitting that Ajax would draw the most difficult team.

A total steal. 3 shots on goal and 2 goals - that’s if you count Taylor’s goal as a shot (I’m not convinced). Again we concede more than 20 shots. A win is always good in Europe but I can’t see them getting much further in this comp. In the post game interview, Taylor said he was trying to cross th...

Draw is tomorrow for the round of 16. Here are the possibilities for Ajax:

Aston Villa (ENG)
Club Brugge (BEL)
Fenerbahçe (TUR)
Fiorentina (ITA)
LOSC Lille (FRA)
Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR)
PAOK (GRE)
Viktoria Plzeň (CZE)

Kenneth Taylor haters can now go home!! Great curling shot/cross finds the back of the net in the second period of extra time and Ajax do enough on defense for a 1-2 win. Ramaj is the MOTM for some wonderful saves to keep B/G off the scoreboard when it looked certain they might have scored. However,...

Into extra time now. Both teams down a man. Last thing Ajax needs ahead of the Sunday game against AZ.

Ajax are playing with close lines hoping to get a counter attack. Ramaj has made several alert plays to keep the score at zero. Forbs created a turnover getting the ball to Berghuis who passed to Brobbey who laid it back to Berghuis who crushed the ball into the net. Brobbey subbed off at 40 minutes...
