15 Sep 2007: Heracles Almelo - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Next one: Heracles away.

But first a weekend of international qualifers (8/9 September) and no Eredivisie football.

Good, 2 weeks break should be neough for most of these guys to shape and gear up.

I think it will be interesting to see how this turns out (frustration again?). My concern is how the players will play with each other after the break. It's a game that should be a win (Heracles has lost their first 3), even if it is away.

[Per]

Today we get a win. For sure.

[Ayman]

Why are we playing Urby? Shouldnt we give him a break since he seems to be in form crisis..we should be Schilder at left back....I think it might have been a mistake to play Urby in this game..I could be wrong..anyway we shall see

[Daniel]

Schilder has some kind of virus..

[Ayman]

And there goes HTC with 1 of his boobs again...takes off Ogararo (If he is not match fit or injured I can understand) But why does he have to bring Colin on???Bring Rommedahl and play Heitinga at right back...and bring on another midfielder like Maduro for whoever else is not performing..or bring Van der Wiel...but please not Colin

[Ayman]

No one put it up so here goes: Heracles 0-1 Ajax

Is it possible to see the goal?
how did the team play?

[Ayman]

Nice goal by huntelaar! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff27 ... telaar.gif

[kraz11]

Wow i'd say a bicycle kick is a bit more than a nice goal
nice to see that the Hunter still got it and Ajax back on winning track

[Kowalczyk]

Yay!

I'm very pleased with this result. Had a bad feeling about it. I just read on Teletekst that it was a very, very fortunate win. Heracles missed a penno just before half-time and hit the cross-bar in stoppage time...

This was a lucky one. But who cares? I certainly don't. We won in the same way Slavia Prague won at the ArenA. After that game, the entire Dutch press thought that Ajax only had themselves to blame, because they failed to convert their chances and even missed a penalty.

Right then. So Heracles only have themselves to blame then. Plain simple.

Three points in tha pocket.

[K.J. Huntelaar]

Right K.. We just have to give our support out to the team now when they need it.

I wonder how low can we go, if it's so hard for us to beat Heracles (number 17).

By the way, Almelo must the only place in Nederland with artificial grass

You can't win them all. And you surely can't win them all convincingly.

Come on, people... Let's not exaggerate. We have played four games: three wins and one draw. Out of those three wins, the first one was a 1-8 (and may I add: De Graafschap's only defeat thusfar), the second one a very good win over Heerenveen and the third one (at Heracles) was a fortunate one in a shit game. We're second: two points behind Feyenoord, but with a better goal-differential than PSV and three points ahead of AZ.

We also won the Johan Cruijff Shield, beating PSV.

The only thing that went awfully wrong (again!) was the Champions League qualifying round. These were the two most important games we played, now that we've lost them they may also turn out to be the two most important games of the season and it was absolutely terrible.

But... Negativity is not going to help. Come on man, how terrible are we really doing in the league?

HTC's own words : ,,In the end, I am not satisfied. This was a lucky win and a below-par match for us.’’

Heracles is nothing but number 17 of the league.

[Kowalczyk]

This is cool (I read it in Het Parool).

Some c**t threw beer at KJH when he'd scored. After the final whistle, KJH walked up to that bloke and said to him: "Next time, you better try to throw it into my mouth."

*LOL* Thats pretty cool.
