20 Apr 2014: PEC Zwolle - Ajax

[Tom_]

Back on, Zwolle equalised. Looks like it's going to be an entertaining game.

[ajaxcolombia]

now they're ahead??????? oh god

[rjf1]

Zwolle just went ahead -- 2 screw ups by us -- but we can thank the fans behind the goal for giving Zwolle time to regroup.

[Tom_]

Three lucky goals so far (OK van Rhijn's was great but it could also have ended up in row Z). So far it's one of those "anything can happen" games...

[rjf1]

Not a whole lot is going to happen for us if we don't stop playing pitty pat.

[martinkohout]

3-1! WTF?!?

[Orange14]

We keep digging the hole deeper and deeper. It will be hard to climb out.

[ajaxcolombia]

ok the hole has gotten deeper now...

[SPL]

This game looks dead for us now. A complete shambles

[Amol]

Down 3-1 now. All I'll remember from this game will be the fireworks display.

Thanks fellow Ajax fans for this memory and also for being completely selfish and stupid.

[Tom_]

Oops, big positioning mistake from Denswil on that one. Still think there'll be more goals

[rjf1]

You have to wonder how the game would have gone if it hadn't been suspended due to the actions of those so-called supporters. Still, when one team goes out to attack at full speed, while the other plays pitty pat at half speed, you get the results we are seeing.

Anyway, it's 1 AM here, and I don't think I will enjoy this one any further. It's off to bed. Will read about it and weep in the morning.

[martinkohout]

Now 4-1. This is shite.

[ajaxcolombia]

Can you believe the lack of hustle of denswil on that play? Kind of just looked and did this little lazy jump, incredible. Oh don't want to vent my frustration on one layer cause it's been a collective disaster so I'll stop here.

[SPL]

Well Moisander is having a nightmare and Vermeer,please let this be his last game. I still have zero confidence in him. This could end up with Zwolle scoring 6 .

[Tom_]

I guess that's that. Everything went right for Zwolle (4 chances and 4 goals I think?) and we don't have the attack to break them down when they wall up in the second half.

[Orange14]

Wow was that ever bad! I could count three serious chances on goal all from more than 20 meters out. Defense is awful and the passing pathetic. Maybe the team got unnerved from all the fireworks. Whatever, they just don't deserve to even be on the pitch. I think the worst they've played since the Utrecht match a couple of years ago. Embarrassing doesn't even fit here.

[ajaxcolombia]

I think this beats the spartak games, the eindhoven game in september, the utrecht disasters, and the red bull salzburg maulling as the most horrible ajax performance so far.

[Orange14]

Well Moisander is having a nightmare and Vermeer,please let this be his last game. I still have zero confidence in him. This could end up with Zwolle scoring 6 .

I actually feel sorry for Vermeer, he really didn't have a chance on any of the goals.

[SPL]

Well PSV 4-0 was bad Salzburg both games they made us look like schoolboys and then there was today . A shambolic mess.Defence woeful, mind they have Vermeer behind them and behind him a bunch of morons who call themselves fans.Midfield abject, attack does not exist.

PS not blaming Vermeer for any of the goals as such but he does not give confidence to me.I still think he is a poor goalie overall.

[ajaxcolombia]

The most humilliatiang aspect of it all is that after such display of "macho tough guys" from Ajax fans, the actual tteam is ridiculed on the field.

[Orange14]

PS not blaming Vermeer for any of the goals as such but he does not give confidence to me.I still think he is a poor goalie overall.

We are in agreement here!

[Orange14]

Maybe the holes in the turf from the fireworks caused our defenders problems and we will see the Zwolle defenders suffer in the second half!

[SPL]

Thats optimism at its best Orange.

[Orange14]

Thats optimism at its best Orange.

It's not over until it's over or something like that.

EDIT: If you cannot laugh at this team's performance in the 1st half you have no sense of humour.
