21 Aug 2011: VVV-Venlo - Ajax

[Amol]

Great 1-2-3 between Eriksen - Blind and Mickey. Mickey shoots into the stands from 10 meters.


Loooool at the ESPN3 commentator who just referred to Mickey as 'Salami'

Hehe Salami, that's hilarious.

We're just not clicking in the final third, are we. There has to be a goal or two in this though

[ajaxcolombia]

Van dr wield is starting to look world class on that right side!!!

[Ajaxfanuk]

Just need that little bit more sharpness in the final third, once we've got one im confident we'll win by a big margin

[Julius]

good combinations up front but no goal so far.
I think the blame is on our fullbacks. Especially Daley. His inability to circulate the ball is isolating Derk.And they cant move the ball up quickly and so they give time to VVV to be organized.

[ajaxcolombia]

dammit, vertonghen slips on attack and then all kinds of trouble lead to a dangerous free kick

[Amol]

HT.

A bit disappointing not to have a goal yet -- but at least we are making them work really hard to keep us out -- so we should score in the 2nd half when they start to tire -- just so long as we don't concede a stupid goal, i think we will come out ok

[ajaxcolombia]

I believe Van der Wiel has had a fantastic game so far, so good I'm going to start calling him gregorinho, looking quite like a brazilian fullback really. Eriksen has had a very off game for me. De Jong not much better. I would bring Anita and have janssen play higher up the pitch. Derk had a couple of good runs but then drifted out of the game. Sulejmani is having a hard time beating his marker. Our centre backs have been good, but Vertonghen looked a little rusty when he went forward.

[rjf1]

Eriksen below par, and Sule far below par -- I'd lilke to see Ozbiliz on the right in the 2nd half.

[Amol]

Frank please put in Serrero/Anita for De Jong. That side of the midfield has been dead.

Without having seen a minute of this game, I hope Frank does put Anita in. I think Janssen is wasted as a defensive midfielder. I would rather Anita play back there and Eriksen and Janssen get involved in the offense.

[SPL]

not been impressed with our midfield think he needs to chnge de Jong

[Amol]

No changes so far for either side.

[Amol]

Great we're down a goal now.

[ajaxcolombia]

Who said soething about no stupid goals?

[Ajaxfanuk]

Shit

[rjf1]

I had a feeling something like this would happen.

[ajaxcolombia]

Now gentenaar transforms into stekelenburg

[aveslacker]

I had a feeling something like this would happen.

In the past this kind of thing has spurred the team on. Let's hope it does now.

[ajaxcolombia]

Ok at first i just thought siggy was "struggling, now i thin he's playing terribly!!!!

[Amol]

Great move by Ajax, great header by Sigi. Gentenaar makes a great save.

[Amol]

Perfect...we just let in another one. Frank for fucks sake make a change.

How on earth did he save that? All I can say is that it was at a very saveable height... but other than that

[Amol]

Blind is just terrible, De Jong has been terrible.
