2 DEC 2021; Ajax - Willem II; Match Day 15
A Thursday evening match against Willem II is on the books this week. Ajax rode the 1-0 win over Sparta coupled with draws by Feyenoord and PSV to stay clear in first place.

Apart from Kudus everyone is fit so Haller and Antony return.Klaassen for Berghuis who has just become a father again.

A very comfortable one sided 45 mins for Ajax.I have a good stream but its Spanish and I have no idea why Haller's goal was disallowed.If VAR cannot overrule and need the ref to look at it again surely the goal should stand. Hope for another 5 or 6 -0 and put Taylor on for half an hour.

I’m guessing there’s some technical part of the offside rule I don’t understand.
Maybe because Haller was offside when Tadic played the ball, it’s still offside at that point whether or not an opponent touches it? Don’t know…

It's just too easy for Ajax tonight.

It may have been ruled an incidental touch by the Willem II defender in which case it is off side. If it is an intentional back pass and Haller gets it, then it is a good goal.

Makes sense, thanks.
Re: 2 DEC 2021; Ajax - Willem II; Match Day 15
A very easy win,just as well it was not a tight game ,my stream went 10 mins from the end having been perfect up until then!
More like a training game tonight but a break now until next Tuesday

Easy match for Ajax tonight and Pasveer now has seven straight clean sheets in the league. Five nice goals and they could have had a couple of more with some better finishing but I'll take it. Alvarez totally controlled the MF and I don't think he had a bad pass on the night. Antony with two goals that were might fine. Ajax are off on the weekend and finish up their Champions League group against second place Sporting who are finally getting all their players back to fitness.
Player Ratings:
Pasveer (6) - pretty much a spectator
Blind (6.5) - didn't have much defending to do
Marinez (7.5) - nicely taken goal and great defending when he had to
Timber (7) - roamed all over the field with little to do on defense
Mazraoui (6.5) - decent enough
Alvarez (7.5) - solid match with a nice assist on an Antony goal
Gravenberch (7) - best match in some time
Klaassen (7) - popped up to get a nice goal going the full 90
Tadic (6.5) - decent game from the captain
Haller (6) - off sides on the one chance he had
Antony (7,5) - to great goals and solid game all around
Rensch (6) - nice play as a sub for Mazraoui
Berghuis (6) - good wing play
Danilo (6) - got one goal but should have had a second
Schuurs (NR) - on late
Neres (NR) - on late
