2 OCT 2016 Ajax - Utrecht Match Day 8

[souras84]

My wish was granted. Meanwhile... Klaassen can't get a pass right, to save his life

[rjf1]

It's better to be lucky than good -- as the saying goes. That said, Younes had a couple of good runs and crosses in the first half, so it was nice to see him get a little reward for his effort.

[Amol]

Come on Klaassen!! You need to put those away!

[souras84]

Come on Klaassen!! You need to put those away!

A tragic miss

[rjf1]

Looked like Dolberg's touch took it just that little bit away so that he couldn't get a good contact.

[King Litti]

Is there a utrecht player who hasn't been booked?

[Amol]

Looked like Dolberg's touch took it just that little bit away so that he couldn't get a good contact.

Dolberg deflected it to Klaassen. It needed a quick tap in , but he missed that.

[King Litti]

Going with three defenders now?

[Amol]

Finally Utrecht give up a penalty after the 2nd or 3rd handball in the box.

2-1!!!

[SPL]

Well taken by Schone hope we hang on now and dont give away a silly goal.

[souras84]

7 players with a yellow. That's cute

[SPL]

they switch off and Ziyech gets a sloppy goal

[Amol]

3-1!!!

[souras84]

Bazoer is really unlucky! It's very sad

[SPL]

And we switch off so 3-2.Traore misses a sitter

[Amol]

And we switch off so 3-2.Traore misses a sitter

That was an epic miss. He had time to stop the ball and maybe eat dinner and then shoot.

[SPL]

We held on at the end but really poor defending to give that 2nd away and Traore somehow missed an open goal

[souras84]

We almost blew the game. Today Utrecht delivered one of the worst performances by them in the past years. Nothing up front. Just crowded defending.

[King Litti]

Utrecht really does seem to be a team that always cause us trouble. Glad to see we broke the curse this time. Glad to see Bosz making a bold move to go for a win with adding attacking players. It payed off, not impressively definitely, but we got the three points. All competitions added were on a pretty nice winning streak.

The entire yellow card business is nonsense -- there's no real penalty for getting one. Award the team that was fouled 1/4 of a goal and you'll see how fast it puts a stop to it. 7 yellow cards would be 1 3/4 goals -- tally it all up and add it to the score at the end of the game to decide the outcome.

Not an awesome performance, but an entertaining finish at least. Three garbage goals too

Then football would have no balls what so ever. There wouldn't be any contact at all cause players would be to scared to get a card.

[SPL]

3 rubbish goals,2 poor goals let in by us but we hang on against our bogey side. 2nd half was entertaining but overall we have to do a lot better.MF still a problem and Tete needs to start in defence.

[Arthur]

Refs have too much wiggle room in deciding if they give a yellow or not. Results of matches will turn out pretty much random.

[SPL]

Waiting for Oranges rating who was our MOM . Traore worked hard shame he missed the sitter ,Sanchez very good in defence and dear old Schone had a decent game
