Bericht door **Kowalczyk** » vr aug 29, 2008 1:25 pm

After a weekend of international games (Holland, for example, play Australia in a friendly and Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier) the Eredivisie continues with matchday 2 and... Ajax's first home game of the season, against Roda!

Kick-off time: 14.30 CET.

Looks like no Silva and no Suarez, according to an item on Ajax Netwerk which links to Ajax.nl. And no Aissati. This season just keeps getting better and better. Just bloody marvelous.

The feeling of nervous anticipation is getting stronger, I've been down to the cafe for breakfast, the Heineken is in the fridge, I've got my home shirt on, Ajax March CD is in the Stereo, DVD recorder is at the ready so I can watch it all over again - all ready to go and we'll probably bloody lose.

Come on Ajax - have to admit it's days like today when I REALLY like Setanta TV :hupajax.gif:

Are we all ready guys?

Not much comment on the game so far but I have to say I'm very impressed by the coverage. Last season it looked like whoever was filming only had one camera in the ground, the ball was off camera some of the time and a very fixed position but this looks all singing and dancing.

Anyway, back to the game. Leo has started instead of Suarez!

One off the line and a terrible miss from KjH just now....

P.S Am I talking to myself here? Where is everyone??

so close -- so many times -- nothing yet -- so frustrating

The boys are really playing quite well -- but nothing in the way of goals to show for it. I just hope this game doesn't turn into one of those nightmares where we dominate the game, get a dozen good chances, but make none of them, then they got one half-chance, score a goal and win the game.

I counted four solid chances that should have been two goals. Defense except for the one real bad play inside the box was pretty good. It looks like Urby is at righ back, deith Vertonghen in midfield; is this correct?

we need one goal and the game will be finished, coz we will destroy them. it's all about psichology right now..

I seems like he is, and that was what the starting eleven said.

1-0 Vermaelen, off first corner in the 2nd half

van der wiel is playing as right back

Poor Huntelaar -- that ball just won't go into the net for him today. He must have missed 3 golden opportunities already.

And now it was Suarez' turn to miss a couple of big chances

Orange14 · Bericht door **Orange14** » zo sep 14, 2008 3:05 pm

We should have at least 7 by now!!!! Unfortunate lack of luck.

Holy crap. WHAT is going on with the finishing? It could be 20-0...
