01 NOV 2014 FC Dordecht - Ajax Match Day 11

[Orange14]

Dordecht lie in the bottom three of the table with only five points. In past seasons these teams would be punished, this year they are made to look much better than they are. Which Ajax will show up?

[Orange14]

I find this exceedingly depressing:

De Boer left this afternoon after training hinted that Kolbeinn Sigthorsson again start as center forward. "It's a matter of time before Kolbeinn will reward themselves," said the coach about the attacker who is in a fierce battle with Arkadiusz Milik. "I watch Kolbeinn plays and Arek manifests. Arek is coming. But Kolbeinn is fitter than ever and combative. "

I am with you being depressed at the thought of Siggy playing. One positive sky showing it live on Sky sports 5 red button again.

[Cruijff]

I am with you being depressed at the thought of Siggy playing.

It's shit. Maybe Kolbeinn will have one or two lucky hits and scores a goal or two against Dordrecht.

Then he will be in the line-up against Barcelona for sure which will give us zero chance. If Milik starts against Barcelona there is a small chance his first touch of the game ends up as a goal and we can fight for a crazy victory like last year November.

With Siggy starting as a striker this Wednesday I repeat: zero chance.

[Tom_]

I'm with you guys. Even if they're both about the same standard at the moment the fact that Milik is 20 should get him the nod, plus I think what was said last week about Milik being better for our style of play is probably true.

Maybe de Boer figures Milik is going back to Leverkusen in summer so it's not worth it? Or maybe he's resting him for Barcelona? ;)

[King Litti]

How many chances is Siggy going to get? It's absurd the idea that he would suddenly transform in to a great striker. I think we have seen the true Siggy by now. He ain't getting significantly better.

Milik has so much more promise. Why not use him?

Maybe de Boer figures Milik is going back to Leverkusen in summer so it's not worth it?

Don't we have some sort of buying option for him?

We spent so much money on Siggy that I guess it's hard to admit that it wen't to waste. Though FdB has dropped expensive players out of the line up before. Remember what he did to el Hamdaoui when he wasn't performing/was acting up ?

[SPL]

I read we have a deal to buy Milik for 2.8m euros and we might buy him in January.

13th stream has been super good so far (pregame show) -- i hope it keeps up.

[Orange14]

[Orange14]

Nice and unselfish by el Ghazi to Schöne for 1-0

[Tom_]

Appalling first 20 minutes but they finished that one off nicely

[rjf1]

What a pleasant surprise! El Ghazi *passed* the ball to Schone for an easy roll in instead of trying to do it himself. Nice going Ghaz!

[Orange14]

Klaassen should have buried that chance. Andersen has had some very nice passes so far this half.

[rjf1]

Well, it's geting on to 2:20 in the morning here, and I haven't seen anything to make me want to stay up any later. A few minutes of good play interspersed in a frustrating to watch half of football. I'll read all about it in the morning.

[Orange14]

We continue to make our opponents look better than they are. Ajax should be up 3-0.

[SPL]

El Ghazi playing well and setting up the goal nicely. We should be 3-0 up .

[Orange14]

That was close and Dordecht should have scored. I'm off to the movies with my wife and daughter and hope to read about a win by more than 1-0. At least van der Sar is leading cheers in the stands.

[saddlerian]

Yes, 4-0 and going well....BUT, Kishna....learn how to use your right foot!!!!!! Lazy sod's missed 2 chances!!!!

[Tom_]

Well that was painful until Dordrecht went down to 10. We really suck this season.

Looks like I'm skipping the Barça game, hopefully that will entice a better performance.

[SPL]

Easy in the end when they went down to 10 men. Andersen had a good game,he is improving all the time. Siggy
still the weak link in attack.If he starts v Barca I doubt he will touch the ball.

[saddlerian]

E Siggy still the weak link in attack.If he starts v Barca I doubt he will touch the ball.

I still maintain that we need to get rid of Kishna.....or at least get him treatment, (or salt & vinegar), for that chip on his shoulder. His agent must have told him that he's mustard....but he doesn't seem as hot as he was in A1.....rather have Siggy's effort than Kishna's ...."I'm better than yow!"

[SPL]

Having Raiola as agent and telling him he is great,which he has done, does not help.Would rather have El Ghazi playing instead of Kishna.
