18 Sep 2013: FC Barcelona - Ajax

[Tom_]

In my dream result we win 3–0 and Neymar gets sent off for diving...

[Cruijff]

We have Duarte in our line-up!! YESSS!!


-------------- Vermeer
- Van Rhijn - Moisander - Denswil - Blind
------------- Poulsen
- Siem --------------- Duarte
-------------------------------- Boilesen
------- Kolbeinn --- Bojan

[Ayman]

Atleast frank de boer is trying something different. Its a good sign

[Cruijff]

Barcelona: Valdés, Dani Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Adriano, Sergio, Fàbregas, Iniesta, Alexis, Messi, Neymar

[Ayman]

Who is Sergio? Also I heard cesc fabregas isnt doing well at Barcelona. Any thoughts?

[Cruijff]

Sergio = Busquets. Son of that strange goalkeeper who used to mess up my Dream Team.

Also I heard cesc fabregas isnt doing well at Barcelona. Any thoughts?

That's true. Duarte will kick his ass tonight.

[Ayman]

Busquets isntcas good as he used to be same with iniesta to a lesser degree

[Cruijff]

Our home shirts look fantastic in this setting!

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!

[Ayman]

Barcelona 1-0 ajax. Messi

[afcajax73]

nooo-no-no-no-no-NO... none of them updates please, just the ones where Ajax score.

[Amol]

Not able to watch the game. How are we doing playing?

[Tom_]

In my opinion, we've done OK given the obvious gulf in individual quality. Barça is certainly not finding it easy to create chances, Denswil is looking especially good in defence.

The real problem is that we don't have the quality to hold onto the ball when we try to move into Barça's half, Kolbeinn and de Jong have been giving the ball away quite frequently. Nevertheless, van Rhijn and Duarte have both had decent scoring chances and we're not being humiliated by any stretch.

[Orange14]

Well we semi-contained them, no goals from the run of play. Had a couple of chances to score at the other end, van Rhijn's header was skillfully saved by Valdes and Duarte shot right at the keeper. van Rhijn has acres of space on the right but I guess they don't want to go there for fear Neymar will have a free run on goal if it doesn't work out. I still think we can get a goal in this match the question is whether we can keep Barca from scoring any more. I would like to see fewer cheap give aways but I guess that's what happens when you play against this type of pressure.

[Cedric]

Before the goal AJax hardly touched the ball but Barça did not create real chances.
And since they scored Ajax is not ridiculous : a few chances, it's a little bit more balanced. They offer a good football I think, though Barça is of course better. 44% possession at half-time. Not bad in this stadium?

[Orange14]

FYI - Toby is on the substitutes bench in Madrid. He could be starting at the Nou Camp!!!!

[afcajax73]

Shame for Toby, but im quite glad he left in the end, it gives denswil a good chance, and he certainly looks the part so far.

[King Litti]

we're hanging on. Got to use the few chances we get. Blind has trouble handling pressuse. Lost possession too many times and is not active enough.

[Tom_]

By the way, it's 0–0 in Milan—not that I have any idea what result from that game would be favourable for us.

[Cruijff]

By the way, it's 0–0 in Milan—not that I have any idea what result from that game would be favourable for us.

0-0 would be the best in my opinion. We should be able to get 4 points against Milan and at least 3, 4 or 6 against Celtic if you ask me.

[ofey]

Milan V Celtic 0-0 HT

We could be bottom of the group tonight!

[Van basten]

We started play football just after the goal. Probably coz Barca didn't press so hard anymore. Before the goal, it looked that some of our players crapped their pants before the game even started. 43% possession at Nou Camp is something to be proud of Can't remember anyone done that.

[Cruijff]

Milan V Celtic 0-0 HT

We could be bottom of the group tonight!

And almost in pole position after Ajax-AC Milan with 2 games on a row against Celtic to go.

[afcajax73]

if we could keep it at 1-0, i think that would be a kind of morale booster which we need... anything more is dream land
