02 Mar 2013: FC Twente - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Eredivisie 2012-2013. Matchday 25.

Kick-off time at the Grolsch Veste in Enschede is 20:45 CET.

Twente are in crisis and haven't won a game in 2013 yet... Which is precisely what makes this game so tricky (a potential turning point for them, a game in which they have nothing to lose).

Right. Bye-bye Steve McClaren. Bert van Marwijk to sign at Twente, but probably not before Saturday, so McClaren's assistant, Alfred Schreuder, will be coaching them.

Ajax beware: 'shock effect' alert!

The 'shock effect' after sacking a manager never lasts, it's a short term thing, but weird things do happen in the first game, especially if it's at home, in a game in which the 'shocked' ones are the underdogs.

and why am I not suprised that we are going to get shocked??

[King Litti]

Since we are out of Europe and the cup there are at least no more mid week distractions, but no more excuses either. We have got to start taking care of business now.
With one game a week, we can stop rotating and resting players. So, no more Serero and Lukoki, please.

We wont be going to Enschede with much confidence that's for sure. FdB has to pull one hell of a motivational speech to turn this slump around.
I hope our guys feel they have something to prove, since we are better than we were against Steaua and AZ. Really hope for a good game. Can't afford to screw up anymore.

[Kowalczyk]

So, no more Serero and Lukoki, please.

Agreed, 100%.

I think it's gonna be

Poulsen, Eriksen and De Jong in the midfield

[souras84]

Vermeer, Van Rhijn, Alderweireld, Moisander, Blind, De Jong, Poulsen, Eriksen, Schöne, Sigthórsson, Fischer

OK... Who's on the right wing??

[orange goblin]

Schone? Just like at the start of the season, don't remember if it was the JC Schaal..

Moisander! Bloody hell! Even *I* could have scored on that header! Well, maybe not, but still.... We sure could use a second goal here.

[Van basten]

yeah baby!!!

[martinkohout]

Beauty! Alderweireld from Eriksen! 2-0!

[Orange14]

#2 by our other central defender, can any of forwards match them?

[Amol]

2-0!!! Need another one to calm my nerves.

[martinkohout]

2-0!!! Need another one to calm my nerves.

Agree. Let's pop another in before the half. Perhaps by a forward?

Damn, I totally forgot about this game being on Saturday evening. What an idiot. Switched on just in time to see Toby score, was our first off a corner?

Nope. it was rocket from 33 metres

[martinkohout]

Possession 61-39 in our favor, for whatever that's worth.

[Orange14]

A lot of determination in the 1st half which was good to see. Only a couple of minor blips on defense but the recovery was adequate to do the job. Dumb Yellow card taken by Moisander who left the official with no choice. I like the way we are pressing the ball, good strategy against a team that has trouble in possession. Still worried that our frontline players cannot find the back of the net but maybe one of them will score in the 2nd half.

[paladinby]

We are looking surprisingly lovely. Schone looks better than those dudes who played wingers before.
