21 AUG 2022; Sparta - Ajax; Match Day 3

Ajax have a bus ride to Rotterdam to take on Sparta this Sunday. Bassey's suspension is up and I hope he plays.

Blind has been quite poor in the half. I like the way Bassey has played, good quickness and awareness. Ajax are still too sloppy at the back. I worry that Brobbey really does not have a good touch when there is an entry pass, he often loses control.

Decent half and hope we get some more goals.Bergwijn looks a really good player,If Antony is 100m then 31m for Bergwijn will be a steal.
impressed by Bassey

Bassey looks fast and agile for his height. He’s played a couple of nice passes too.

Mystifying why Tadic, Blind and Taylor are all still on the pitch when they’re clearly struggling. And Kudus comes on for … Brobbey? Hmm

A poor performance overall and we just held on to our 1-0. Bergwijn and Bassey had good games and Kudus should get more playing time.Berghuis was poor on the right and no way can he replace Antony. Could be along season and we may struggle for the title.
Agree Tadic,Blind and Taylor all struggled at the end

This was a much tighter game than it should have been Brobbey had a clear shot on goal after some nice interior passing but muffed it. Pasveer came up big with two back to back tough saves that made the lone Bergwijn goal stand up. Ajax had some scramble defending to do but did clear most of the dangerous balls. Kudus came on and was quite good on the ball; I hope he stays as he should start getting increased playing time.

Player Ratings:

Pasveer (7.5) - two saves in the second half kept a clean sheet and preserved the victory
Rensch (6.5) - had a nice shot in the first half that clanged off the post; his defending was much better today
Timber (7) - solid game
Bassey (7) - very nice match on his debut with good physical presence and quickness
Blind (4.5) - had one or two very good passes but those did not make up for a generally poor match
Alvarez (6.5) - somewhat mediocre in the first half but made some critical interventions in the second
Taylor (6.5) - decent enough game
Tadic (6) - OK match but looked out of gas late in the match
Berghuis (4.5) - not very good on the wing
Brobbey (4.5) - missed scoring when he should have and did not handle entry passes very well at all
Bergwign (7) - great individual play for the match winner
Kudus (6.5) - did a very good job coming on for Brobbey
Klaassen (6) - solid game in the MF coming in for Berhuis, really worked hard on defense which was needed.

The drama over Antony's transfer status will likely take up most of the news tomorrow. Ajax take on Utrecht next week.
