Also I've reached a point where I'd be ok letting Brobbey go in the summer. Don't think we'll get more than 10-15M max. But who knows.

A lot of players were just very poor today. Utrecht players were chasing us down when we had the ball. We were able to move the ball though but never really anything worked in the final third.

For Brobbey to work, he need the runs coming in from midfield for him to lay the ball off to. In such crowded defenses, that’s doesn’t work. So what does Brobbey do? More of the same and doesn’t think of maybe freeing himself from the defense and creating an extra man in MF or pull his defender to M...

This lineup isn’t working. Berghuis might not last until half time.

That mid field was too soft and without any imagination. I didn’t understand why we didn’t start with Mokio at DM.

Wijndal coming on for an injured Klaassen. I’m a bit perplexed

That Traore substitution and his goal were poetic.

AZ played Spurs last Thursday.. full throttle. Today they were as good as Ajax. AZ has a really good team. Having said that. For me, FJ, Hendo and Godts were not good today. The second yellow for the AZ player was a gift…. At the end, this draw was the best we could get. But disappointing after Aja...

Also the flares are great and all, but they need to figure out how to do those and not disrupt games. Kinda ridiculous.

Just bought one online. Unfortunately already sold out in the Ajax Online shop, so had to buy it from Adidas.

Read about Rijkaard coming to training and appearing to be super happy. I'd love to see him back at Ajax in some capacity.

Ajax's new 125 anniversary jersey was unveiled today. It's a beauty and I think I'm buying myself one today. It's missing an Ajax badge but no one could ever think that this jersey was for any other club.

We’ve been here before though. Remember the early 2010s when we kept qualifying but getting thrashed? I reckon it’s part of the good-bad-good-bad cycles Ajax has always been through. At least it feels to make like we are on the way back up from a low point just now. And I’m not sure buying players ...

On the other hand, this tie has reinforced that our squad is a long way from CL quality, so I’m not sure how enjoyable it will be to watch if we make it in! I've been thinking of that myself. Is it going to be joyful if we're cannon fodder in the CL next year? Need some quality injections in the su...

Mathaus comes well outside his box to save us on a counter and after he has complete control of the ball, decides to play a cute pass instead of hoofing it up the field. The pass goes directly to a Frankfurt player Gotze scores his second from close to the half-way line.

GOAAAAALLLL!!! Taylor just scored with a well placed shot from outside the box.

Only need 2 more to tie the game and 3 more to go to extra-time.

Kaplan just allowing a simple run across the box and an open shot on goal. 3-0 now.

Kaplan is not looking good. I'd be ok selling him on this summer and moving Janse up.

We are getting chances on their goal though. Klaassen and now Berghuis had shots on goal in the past 5 minutes.

Rugani picked a knock on his head and receiving treatment. Frankfurt score from a ball over the top of our defense. Kaplan and Janse didn't look great there at all.

We just gave up a simple goal in the 6th minute. Someone forgot to track a runner.

Very interesting lineup for us today
Mathaus
Rosa-Rugani-Kaplan-Janse
Klaassen-Mokio-Van Der Boomen
Berghuis-Don Konadu-Edvardsen


Sounds like we're saving the team for the AZ game this weekend.

UEFA has approved Ajax's request of replacing the injured Pasveer with Matheus. Thank God. I couldn't bear to watch another game with Gorter in goal.

No Hendo for this one as he picked up a YC in the home game and has to sit this one out.

Somehow squeezed out another win. On to the next one.

I looked away for 10 minutes and suddenly saw Eintracht score against Gorter. WTF happened?

We're playing well today. Brobbey had an amazing turn and strike from outside the box within the first couple minutes and now has scored from a header.
