The great comeback starts this coming Sunday as Ajax host Utrecht. 11 league matches left to go and Ajax will surprise us all with a total win out!!!! UP from the depths of despair.

this is about as good as it gets for this Ajax team. With no wingers, van't Schip decides to play three in the back and opt for a conservative approach to the match. As with virtually everything the club has tried this season, it was a failure. There was just not enough quality on the field compared...

A charity match with Ajax legends against Liverpool legends is scheduled for mid-March. The Ajax roster has just been announced. Aron Winter Clyde Wijnhard Danny Blind Dennis Gentenaar Derk Boerriger Eyong Enoh Jan van Halst Jari Litmanen Kiki Musampa Kenneth PErez Michael Krohn-Dehli Nordin Wooter ...

Just come in seen Ajax v Villa ,well I would have put money on us getting them.When the Europa draw took place we drew the top teams in all the 3 pots so today was only ever going to be Villa. No hope on this seasons form and we used up all our luck last night. Sutalo is suspended for the match so ...

Aston Villa. Can’t remember the last time we beat an English side in a knockout tie. Doubt this will be the one time we do. all of Ajax's European results are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Ajax_in_European_football A quick look at the results indicates that the only KO win by Ajax over an...

Aston Villa. Can’t remember the last time we beat an English side in a knockout tie. Doubt this will be the one time we do.

Used up all the luck in the win last night. It was only fitting that Ajax would draw the most difficult team.

A total steal. 3 shots on goal and 2 goals - that’s if you count Taylor’s goal as a shot (I’m not convinced). Again we concede more than 20 shots. A win is always good in Europe but I can’t see them getting much further in this comp. In the post game interview, Taylor said he was trying to cross th...

Draw is tomorrow for the round of 16. Here are the possibilities for Ajax:

Aston Villa (ENG)
Club Brugge (BEL)
Fenerbahçe (TUR)
Fiorentina (ITA)
LOSC Lille (FRA)
Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR)
PAOK (GRE)
Viktoria Plzeň (CZE)

Kenneth Taylor haters can now go home!! Great curling shot/cross finds the back of the net in the second period of extra time and Ajax do enough on defense for a 1-2 win. Ramaj is the MOTM for some wonderful saves to keep B/G off the scoreboard when it looked certain they might have scored. However,...

Into extra time now. Both teams down a man. Last thing Ajax needs ahead of the Sunday game against AZ.

Ajax are playing with close lines hoping to get a counter attack. Ramaj has made several alert plays to keep the score at zero. Forbs created a turnover getting the ball to Berghuis who passed to Brobbey who laid it back to Berghuis who crushed the ball into the net. Brobbey subbed off at 40 minutes...

Berghuis and Mannswerk (thought to be a top Norwegian talent) both make the travelling squad. Martha is dropped. Looks like the weather will be cold but not bone chilling, maybe 3C but no wind or rain. I think they play on artificial turf which is not good on player's knees. @Tom - I will be watchin...

Just a pity that players from that era can't return as "coaches" or influencers to help with the builders of their careers!! They make more money as pundits on TV, criticizing Ajax from all angles rather than stepping up and trying to help fix things. Even so, it is difficult to figure out how they...

16 shots total, 9 on target for NEC and 4 for Ajax. In a home game. I don’t know what you can say about that.

The team is just mentally poor in terms of playing defense. They are not quick enough for high pressure and too poorly organized otherwise.

If the results hold, we'll see which players jump ship this coming summer. There may be some who decide to stay and show everyone that they want to prove themselves and cherish the Ajax shirt. I go back to 2006 when Juventus were relegated to Serie B as a result of the bribery scandal. It was the fi...

Continuing with my pessimism, Ajax will be eliminated from Euro competition other than a slim chance to return to the Conference League next season.

I have no idea what the temperature will be in Norway, but I'm fairly certain that Ajax exits from European football.

Ha. I think was the ball and the NEC attacker so that would be a correct call. Yeah, I think VAR got it right. It was close but I think the position of the ball was key. They showed the drawn line on my ESPN feed which showed it was not offside. Rensch was on the wrong side of the attacker in any e...

I'm not sure that I can watch this team play any more this season. Just another flat performance with poor play from a number of individuals. IMO, Rensch was at fault on both NEC goals though others surely contributed as well. When you have a 2-1 lead with minutes to play, the game just has to be ki...

Another poor half of football. Tahirovic is just not good enought even when paired with Henderson. This team makes every opponent look good in threatening situations. Ajax really need to bring someone on staff that can sort out the defense as they are just terrible at positioning. Opposing wingers g...

Trying to see if Triller Tv is free in Uk . Looks like no at the moment.I registered and thought i would see if I can get PSV game but it just asked me for 8 dollars a month.I am not going to start paying in dollars. Why does a USA TV stream service want to buy up Dutch football for Uk viewers and ...

The problem is that too many players left in a short period of time and "adequate" replacements were not found in either the academy or through purchase. Even if you go back to the early stage of ten Hag, there were some really bad purchases and only a few turned out to be outstanding (e.g., Tadic, ...

@oranje Ramaj was heading to the far post and Hato failed to cover the near post. Pretty bad all around on what was a pretty tame shot. You are probably correct. The feed I watched showed it three times from different angles but I didn't get clear view of what Ramaj was doing before the shot came in

Just when all is lost and the team is horrible once more, two late goals get a draw and send Ajax to the frozen wilds of Norway next week with a bit of a chance to advance in the Conference League. Van't Schip made a real bad decision on the starting lineup putting Akpom in at 10 where he was useles...

Another dreadful half of football. Back line is Goojier, Rensch, Sutalo and Hato. Ajax look to be keeping a back three with only Goojuer advanced. Totally weird goal by B/G as it was hard to tell whether Ramaj was screened or not. There did not appear to be a deflection. If you look at how well B/G ...
