More of this please.

[saddlerian]

Will it be the same formal as at AC?

Can we see Sulejmani and Ozbiliz playing wide, with De Jong a the holding striker......and the "free" midfield of de Zeeuw, Eriksen and Urby?

Bring on the game....let them play without fear!!!

Just go and enjoy it lads!!!!

[Rooie]

Same 11 as against Milan, Ebecilio replaces Suarez

[SE6Ajacied]

Very positive start from Ajax so far. 1-0 up but could easily be more. Ebecilio certainly looks lively.....

[souras84]

Ok, I am lost. Who is ebecilio?

[SE6Ajacied]

Ok, I am lost. Who is ebecilio?

Form the Jong Ajax team. Have to admit I'm not very familiar with the name either but he's looking good so far.

[souras84]

yeah he looks enthusiastic!!! is he dutch?

[SE6Ajacied]

yeah he looks enthusiastic!!! is he dutch?

He's Dutch yes.

[SE6Ajacied]

I didn't know much about Ebecilio but I found this link on Ajaxinside.nl - it's an interview with him from about a year ago.

Short but interesting - this is the link for the English (google) translated version.

Very pleased with first half, could have scored more

[saddlerian]

Well, very good first 45 minutes....could have done with a second goal to show superiority, but, I'm sure it will come. Good debut so far from our "Flying Dutchman"....let's hope he can help the team to a well deserved win!

Second half.....more of the same, please, but with a goal or two!!!

[souras84]

i am starting to like ebecilio...

Memo to Frank De Boer: Siem De Jong will never be a striker.

Good game though.

[souras84]

de jong is playing the ONLY 2 good games in a row this season. anita as RB... interesting

[souras84]

i guess we need a fresh midfielder now

[souras84]

and i just realized we dont have another sub

Memo to Frank De Boer: Siem De Jong will never be a striker.

Siem has done well in his new role the last 2 games... as a static striker or 'false 9' he'll never be a Huntelaar but he will be useful for bringing other people into play, like Ronald de Boer used to.

[Tom_]

Huh? You mean Sulejmani???

Well maybe he reminds Frank of his brother so that, might bring back some memories

[Flipster81]

Maybe thats what it is, he should have scored then though... Good saving tackle.

Some dicey defending down the stretch and a lack of clinical finishing kept this one on a knife's edge. Still we get the three points on the road and this will help. Great to see de Boer going over to every single player on the bench and giving them a big hug. Doubt that we ever saw this from Jol. 2-0 for the de Boer era; let's keep this train on the tracks. MOTM had to be Stekelenberg for keeping the clean sheet.

Well, stoke up the boiler.....we need the 3 points next week!!!!

[souras84]

problem solved with El H returning. he should be able to finish them off. could have been easily 1-1 and 0-3
