28 NOV 2020; FC Emmen - Ajax; Match Day 10

Bericht door Orange14 » wo nov 25, 2020 11:29 pm

No rest for the weary as Ajax have an away match on Saturday against Emmen. It may be a chance to rest some players before the trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool next week.

EDIT; Daley Blind just had a muscle cramp and came off as a precaution in the CL match on Wednesday.

Emmen play on an artificial pitch, that increases the likelihood of injuries, please pray that Ten Hag rests most of the players especially Daley Blind.

It would be awesome if our 2nd shift can get the win. This is their moment to shine, so hopefully they can and will.

Looks like another training game for us ,3-0 up coasting in 2nd gear on a plastic pitch . Half the time Gravenberch seems to be playing back at LB.

Time to rest one or 2 in the 2nd half.

Comfortable win and like last week we get 5 whilst hardly playing in 2nd gear. These last 2 games we could easily have got 10 in each.

Good to see Rensch get 20 mins and Ekkelenkamp gets 30 mins as opposed to 30 seconds the other night.

This was an easy win over a not very good team. Ajax with 75% of possession and had it not been for some outstanding saves from the Emmen keeper the score would have been worse than 0-5. Everyone played well and there were very few errors when Ajax were in possession. When they had to defend both Schuurs and Martinez stood big. I can't really give anyone more than a 7.5 when the opponents are so weak.

Player Ratings:

Onana (6) - had to save one weak shot and had to do a bit of ball handling in the second half
Klaiber (7) - started at LB and then shifted over to the right side later in the match; played well
Martinez (7.5) - very good ball handling and made one nice interception when it looked like Emmen might get someone in on goal
Schuurs (7.5) - didn't see a single mistake and he had some good rushes up field when the space was open
Mazraoui (7.5) - very good match going forward
Klaassen (7.5) - well taken goal and had some very good passes
Gravenberch (7) - solid match from the 18 year old
Labyad (7) - solid again both shooting and passing
Tadic (7) - thought he would get a full 90 minutes of rest but started and played the first half
Traore (7) - continues to get better
Antony (7) - solid coming back from an injury in the half he played
Huntelaar (6.5) - just miss timing some good runs by a smidgen
Neres (7) - continued to terrorize defenders on the left side of the pitch
Promes (7) - very active coming on for Tadic and was always in a position to cause problems for Emmen
Ekkelenkamp (7) - had some nice touches and was alert to toe poke home a goal
Rensch (NR) - on late for what I think was his league debut

Off to Liverpool for a mid-week CL match up. Liverpool were held today and other than their front line, it's not clear who will start on the backline and the MF. Unless Midjytland stages a major upset it is going to come down to the final match day just like last year in the group stage. I hope the result is better.

Saw the first 15 minutes and then had to step out. Will wait to comment until I see the replay tonight.

We played in 2nd/3rd gear and were camped in their half for 85 of the 90 minutes at least. We missed a few chances and the score could've easily been 8-0.

I'm really liking Traore - his hold up play, laying off passes and now scoring.
