Man of the match :

Mancini's injured list numbers six – Joleon Lescott, who has a back injury, James Milner and David Silva (hamstring), Micah Richards (knee), Jack Rodwell (groin), and Maicon who is training but not ready following his foot injury. Kolo Touré is ineligible as he is not in the competition squad. We'l...

Worst season start since 2005.

Daley Blind preselected by van Gaal for the game vs. Germany.

Arena : additional seats after the winter break, close to the pitch.

Five basis players will be rested : Niklas Moisander, Ricardo van Rhijn, Christian Poulsen, Kenneth Vermeer and Siem de Jong.

Good old Theo said we'd meet again.

Global warming is real.

Sulejmani come off as he did nothing . I know he has been injured and this is a difficult game but I really do hope we get rid of him in the winter break. I still wonder whether our small squad is starting to suffer with all these very tough midweek CL games and there are still 3 to come. Exactly !...

Ronald Koeman was at the Arena to watch the Ajax - ManCity game. His knees were shaking when he left.

As if they were trying anything... They played an ugly type of catenaccio (but without the plan). K. Exactly. But they are out now. :drecul.gif: Our defense was better than theirs. Van Rhijn was great. I was happily surprised with Blind and Schone. All in all, we were simply better, much better . T...

My prediction : 3-2.

juventus (almost) eliminated from the CL : how sad

Appalling. Arrogance and poor coaching (late substitutions) cost us 2 points.

Time to get some points.
David Silva will not play (injured during the Spain-France game).

Maybe the Serbian federation would fancy buying him ?

Sana missed something yesterday :

SPL schreef: our 2 wingers Sana and Lukoki look like works in progress

He needs to wok harder.

We need more movement and speed in our midfield.
We miss Enoh.

What else did we expect ? What goes around comes around. This is just the downside of the nursery-of-Europe philosophy.
And the current Real is the most notorious Frankenstein monster created by the UEFA modern football rules.

Frank de Boer, Ajax coach
I thought we played very badly. We never reached our level

Embarassing.

De Jong : I thought we did better last year, especially at the beginning of the match at the Bernabéu, so it's disappointing we didn't do more this time

However, it seems that there's still chance for spot 2. If we recover from this.

All right then. My prediction : 1 - 1
