cricfree shows a stream but its not connecting so may just have to follow twitter on Ajax showtime.

[SPL]

The stream came on after 30 mins, we won 1-0 a header by Bergsma from a corner after 83 mins.

Not a great game we had plenty of possession but not many great chances.Cassierra and Cerny didn't look very special.

de Jong and Nouri played 62 mins Savastano and Lang subs.On 80 mins Walian for Sanniez.

We are still 2nd and play Jong PSV on Monday

[SPL]

Jong PSV tomorrow ,dont see many 1st teamers playing with Schalke on Thursday.

[SPL]

PSV game is at 14.30 CET ,I am out today so will miss the game .Will be a tough game even Zeefuik wont play as I assume he will go to Schalke.

We are still 5 points clear of 3rd place Cambuur but still have to play them and VVV , so some tough games.

[Orange14]

Ajax lost 3-1. Nouri played the full 90 along with other first team players Cerny (who scored the lone goal) and Cassiera. Ajax are now five points above Jong PSV.

[SPL]

Not surprised we lost today ,most of the team played Friday night.With few 1st team spare available the same small squad is being used.We are still 2nd ,Cambuur 2 points behind and PSV still 5 behind us,with easier games to play.Finish 3rd and above PSV will be a great season as so many of this squad have played in the first.

For the record todays team,

Albals,Dankerlu(Doekhi),Sanniez(Walian), Bergsma,Savastano,Eiting,Nouri, Mazraoui,Cerny,Cassierra,Clement(de Wit)
subs not used v Bladeren,Leyder.

[SPL]

Busy with relatives today so just tuned in. HT we are leading Helmond 2-0 Nouri a pen and Clement the goals.

Alblas Zeefuik,Bergsma,Dankerlui,Savastano,Eiting,Nouri,Mazraoui,Cerny,Cassierra,Clement

cricfree has a stream so will catch the 2nd half

[SPL]

Finished 2-0 not a great 2nd half Nouri far too good for this level. Walian for Mazraoui on 53 and Leyder for Eiting for the last 5 mins.Leyder out injured for the last 2 years.( v Bladeren,Sanniez ,Bay unused subs)

still 2nd with 2 to play

If Nouri is too good for this level, does this mean we shouldn't worry about losing Klaassen in the summer?

[souras84]

Nouri might be better technically and closer to a number 10, but he lacks Klaassen's strength and determination. I don't believe he could replace him. He's not that type of player. He may be closer to the Ziyech role.

Nouri might be better technically and closer to a number 10, but he lacks Klaassen's strength and determination. I don't believe he could replace him....

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I would also add field leadership.

Well in that case Ajax will have to give it their all in the Europa league in order to win it, if they are to stand any chance of keeping him for another season. As Danny dear Wit isn't ready for the senior team, and Wesley Sneijder is past it, for a potential return to Ajax.

[SPL]

As above Nouri is more a Ziyech type. v d Beek is seen as Davy's replacement but does not score many goals, but was only 20 the other day and is still developing. de Jong should be playing more at the highest level ,more a Schone type as he can play further back .

Jong are now certain to finish ahead of Jong PSV and will finish either 2nd or 3rd.VVV well clear at the top and promoted.We are 2 points clear of Cambuur but our last 2 games are VVV away then Cambuur at home ,next 2 Fridays. 3rd will be superb but more important the development of players for the 1st.v d Beek and de Ligt now in the 1st squad and getting playing time.Nouri and de Jong developing well and subs at 1st,Eiting Zeefuik look not far off.

[SPL]

Away to VVV tonight 20.00 Might see Riedewald get a game .

Away to VVV tonight 20.00 Might see Riedewald get a game .

Also, Neres and Tete can play. Tete needs some game time as he will be starting against Lyon on Thursday. van de Beek, Nouri, and Frenkie de Jong are likely to be on the team sheet as well. This could be a fun match to watch so I hope to have a stream over here in the US.

[SPL]

Very strong side

Boer,Tete,Zeefuik,Eiting,Riedewald, v d Beek,Nouri,de Jong,Neres,Cassierra,Cerny

Dear old Boer ,aged 37 is old enough to be father to the whole side Tete at 21 the oldest out fielder, no one else older than 20. Will be a tough game as VVV are promoted being the best team in the league

[SPL]

Having missed some of the last games I was looking forward to watching this but its not on tv and cricfree has no streams working . I am not going to try and find other streams so will just have to follow twitter on Showtime.

Double check cricfree. It had the streams blocked out but they work if you click on it. 0-1 Ajax right now though I missed the goal.

[Orange14]

0-3 at the half. goals from Cassiera, Tete and Neres.

[Orange14]

It is bread baking day in my house so I only watched about 1/2 the match. Ajax won easily 1-4. Both teams had a man sent off, Zeefuik for Ajax. VVV's goal came on a PK. Once the teams were 10 a side, Ajax's superior ball handling controlled the match. Cerny got the lone 2nd half goal for Ajax though they should have had a couple more.

[SPL]

Cricfree's stream did not work and then went off air so I didn't see our best performance of the season ,having not missed many games.

Very good win by a much stronger side. Tete and Riedewald will both likely play v Lyon so got 70 mins today.Clement and Dankerlui subs and Bergsma came on earlier for Neres when Zeefuik was sent off.

Just next Friday v Cambuur to play

[SPL]

About to start v Cambuur ,cricfree has no stream so wont be watching. (worse than that sky not showing us onSunday )

Alblas,Dankerlui,Sanniez,Bergsma,Savastano,Eiting,Serero,Mazraoui,Clement,Cassierra,Cerny.
subs v Bladeren,Sidoel,Bay,Leyder ,Walian,Gudelj

Just need a draw for 2nd place .Several of those names wont play for us again.

[SPL]

We won 2-1, and finish 2nd in the league. 1st half goals by Eiting and Cassierra,they got a penalty after 88mins. Bay for Mazraoui on 60 and Walian for Serero in injury time the only subs.

Serero and Walian certain to leave as their contracts are not being released but dont see Dankerlui Sanniez staying ,both contracts to 2018 so sale or loaned out . Gudelj, Bay, Leyder have barely appeared this season ,again contracts to 2018 but should be moved on.

A fine season and some wonderful football.I watched about 75% of the games but frustrating these last 2 were not streamed. We put out one of our weaker sides today and still beat the 3rd placed side.

[SPL]

Jupiler Legue best player by ratings Nouri of course. Frenkie de Jong was 3rd . In 2nd was old boy Tom Overtoom of Almere City.

Just proving what many fans have been saying for a long time ie Nouri and de Jong far too good for this league.

[SPL]

Our Jong played their 1st official friendly yesterday, beat non league VVCS 3-2 .Zian Flemming a hattrick. Some of the players have appeared in the 1st team friendlies v PAOK, Genk and Lyon.

Sierhuis got injured last weekend so Flemming ,an attacking MF, played up front.He played up front for Sierhuis for the last couple of months of the U19 season and scored goals.

Yesterday Dijks,Muric and Groothuizen all played.These all looking to be sold along with Menig.

Goalie situation a bit muddled. V Bladeren played in the 1st last week but Alblas is out injured for a few weeks.Groothuizen,loaned to Denmark club last season,wont want to stay and Leeuwenburgh always seems injured.

Nb. Only Jong player we released still without a club, Ezra Walian having a trial at Bolton in the Championship.Good luck to him.
