24 Sep 2006: Ajax - NEC

[Kowalczyk]

First defeat suffered, but hey: you can't win all 34 of 'em, can you?

Next league game! Ajax vs NEC!

[Kowalczyk]

So, we've had three shit games in a row now. Only one was lost, simply because in the other two the opponents were IK Start and Young RKC Waalwijk, with all due respect.

It's about bloody time for a good performance at home, I would say. NEC are 17th and have only one point, so I demand a good performance and a few goals, plain simple.

But probably to hard for us to do ...

It's down to education! They want to learn - they do - they succeed.

Many English "women" have "the baby", get "the flat", live offf "the state" and couldn't give a toss, either about themselves, their kids or their lives!!!

I think you're meeting the wrong people SaddlerIan. None of the women I know are like that and certainly not more so than anywhere else. Last time I was in France/Sweden/Belgium/Spain and certainly our beloved Amsterdam I saw just as many people apparently without much to live for. Perhaps that's just me though eh but maybe if this great country of ours offered ordinary working class people just that bit more to aspire to at times there wouldn't be so many who don't give "a toss".

Food for thought? Anyway, back to the serious stuff, I thought the real answer to Ko's question was regards the number of blondes in Scandinavia. :cheer:

:headbang: :headbang:
Probably because they DO have something special to live for in Scandinavia, would be the answer to M's question! If I knew what it was, I'd be there!

But, Hey! Let's get back to the football! We need a "GOOD" win this weekend to keep the moral up! Last Eredivisie I saw was 5-0; Last match was 3-0; A win is forecast...and that's what we'll get!! Sod the score...just give us the points!

:xyxthumbs: :xyxthumbs:

[SE6Ajacied]

Last Eredivisie I saw was 5-0

:xyxthumbs: :xyxthumbs:

Well, my last Eredivisie was 1-0 - shall we say a joint prediction of 3-0 and meet halfway? :cheer:

Check the NEC club profile on Ajax USA, scroll the to the bottom to the results from recent seasons and you'll see that games between Ajax and NEC were not exactly goalfests in recent seasons...

2005-2006
NEC - Ajax 1-0
Ajax - NEC 1-1

2004-2005
Ajax - NEC 1-0
NEC - Ajax 0-1

2003-2004

But now they're 17th, and have only one point...

0-0 at haltime....can someone please tell what kind of formation we are playing with, 3-4-3 ?? 3-3-4 ?? Looks kind of strange :yes:

lets hope for some goals in the second half :eusa_pray:

[Venezuelan Ajacied]

Deadlock broken :headbang: 1-0 AJAX !!!!!!!!

Perez :yes:

[Venezuelan Ajacied]

Perez gets his brace. 2-0 Ajax. This one is over... ;)

[SwedishFan]

Great for Kenneth, he needed this!

[andy]

Well its a victory, but still we weren't great. But at least its three points. This is really good for Perez he needed this.

[andy]

haha sorry swedish fan did'nt notice you wrote it first.

[ericc14]

Thankfully Ajax proved that even the bench players have the ability to turn matches around.

As much as I like Rosales, he rarely scores. He scores alot in 'friendly' matches. Where is he when we need him really bad ?
I would've kept Charisteas and dropped Rosales.

[andy]

Well Rosales is a winger, i don't mind if he does'nt score as long as he puts in crosses for KJH. But he's been on a slump latley.

[Kowalczyk]

Match report is up on Ajax USA, folks...

http://www.ajax-usa.com/matches/m06-07/ ... c-2-0.html

No pictures just yet. Jim will add those to the report when he's ready for it - and he will be ready for it after the Setanta broadcast of the game (right now he doesn't want to know the result, see).

[Kowalczyk]

About Rosales...

I didn't think he was that bad today. He had some shit crosses, but also a few very good ones (although nothing happened with 'em) and I thought he was one of the very few Ajax players with a certain drive. He worked quite hard and constantly asked for the ball and took initiative.

6 out of 10, I would say. Which is not great, but better than - for example - Gabri and Huntelaar, whom I would rate 5 (or even 4) out of 10 today.

The best men on the pitch were, in my opinion:

1. Urby
2. Perez
3. Babel/Sneijder

People must think i'm crazy, look what the pinheads at ESPNDeportes wrote as the starting line-up http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/futbol/ ... eCup=NED.1

As you can see today's best player is missing :hypocrite:

[Kowalczyk]

Bad news for Urby Emanuelson... He thought he'd done really well, but no: he didn't even see action! :D

According to ESPN the attendance was 25,000, which is a bit on the low side as well.

Oops.
