21 SEP 2021; Fortuna Sittard-Ajax; Match Day 6

Bericht door Orange14 » ma sep 20, 2021 12:41 pm

On the road to Fortuna Sittard tomorrow. Ajax are on a goal scoring binge with 14 in the last two matches. Will it continue tomorrow? Will there be some more player rotations? Twice a week games coming up with Groningen at the weekend, CL game against Besiktas followed by always dangerous (at least for Ajax) Utrecht.

I would hope for 2-3 more subs in the starting lineup. One switch in each line - of the 4-3-3

Rest Nous (Rensch), Alvarez (Taylor) & Tadic (Daramy).

If he is healthy, I would like to see Gorter in goal. If Onana does not extend his contract, Gorter is bound to be pushed into the first team at some point this season. Better to do it early and see if he can get the job done.

Not a bad idea actually.

And in shocking news - ETH puts out his full first team squad with Zero rotation.

If we do end up doing badly because of injuries to these players - there's only 1 person to blame.

I'm surprised also at the starting lineup. There is good news as Kudus is on the substitutes bench. I hope he gets action in the 2nd half.

It's just too easy for this team. Huge amount of possession and Fortuna were fortunate to keep the goal count to three.

Is it ok to feel disappointed with 'only' 3 goals at HT in an away game, with the other team hunkering down? :blush.gif:

another stroll in the park for Ajax and another 5-0 victory. Fortuna were a better team than Cambuur but Ajax are just too good right now. Very little defending had to be done and there was some might fine passing from the victors. I have to say that Alvarez is MOTM for me. He was virtually flawless in his ball handling (look at the pass to Blind on the third Ajax goal) and I think he won every single ball in his area.

Player Ratings:

Pasveer (6) - he had to make one save but otherwise just did a bunch of kicking
Blind (7) - split time at LB and CB and did well passing
Martinez (6.5) - little involved in the game but not by his choice
Schuurs (6.5) - had a couple of interventions but otherwise was never troubled
Mazraoui (7.5) - quite a fine match and his goal was well taken
Alvarez (7.5) - outstanding game on both sides of the ball; his passing is much quicker and there is more forward thinking and confidence
Gravenberch (7) - very good with the ball and broke up a couple of plays defending
Berghuis (7) - nice enough goal for the game winner in the half he played
Tadic (7) - solid for the Captain who did a stint in the middle as a false 9
Haller (6) - worked hard all mach but didn't get any service
Antony (6.5) - had a couple of opportunities to pass but shot instead
Kudus (6.5) - good seeing him even if just for a half, had a very alert run into the box and was rewarded with a goal
Tagliafico (6) - what a fine goal he got in the sub role
Daramy (6) - some very alert play and he should see more time spelling Tadic going forward
Taylor (5.5) - saw very little of the ball
Danilo (NR) - on late

Groningen at home this weekend followed by CL action against Besiktas next week.
