08 May 2011: FC Twente - Ajax

[ajax-erie]

Finish Strong Ajax!

[Flipster81]

De Jong is doing alright, I'd be more worried about Toby and Greg...

[Tom_]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[kezme44]

oh no. enoh

[ajaxcolombia]

Hopefully, De boer's tactic is to get the crappy out of our system in this game, and play like true championnext week

[kezme44]

GET DE JONG OUT!!!!!!

[Tom_]

Maybe he's trying to work out how much of a lead is 'safe'. If we're 4-0 up at half time next week, we should be OK.

[ajaxcolombia]

Just a thought after vertonghen's last run from the back. Couldn't we tr to play him in midfield again? he clearly has way more technical abilities with the ball than enoh, and probably has more tactical discipline and sense of positioning and De zeuww. Just a thought.

[Tom_]

Ah christ it's 4am

[Philippe]

I thought we were supposed to save forces for the last league game ?

[Orange14]

Some very poor defending and passing have led this to being an even game. We have had wingers open all game long but maybe players have their heads down and don't see the. de Jong is a non-presence on the field today and Eriksen has not been especially effective. We are poor in bringing the ball up from the back, it's almost as if we are afraid to make some good passes and resort to long kicks. Blind and Boilesen have both been poor. We'll see what happens now.

[SPL]

agony of Et and penalties!!

[ajaxcolombia]

Fresh Bajrami could mean trouble for van der wiel!!

[Orange14]

Curious substitution of Cvitanich for van der Wiel.

[ajaxcolombia]

playing way better, close call on blind's header! So far substitutions paying off.

[Flipster81]

We've never had control of the game, even at 2-0 that's why de Jong and Eriksen have been ineffectual, the lack of a commanding defender is glaringly evident in this (and the Heerenveen) game.

Someone said try Vertonghen in midfield and I agree, he would be awesome in the sitting role.

The change of Cvitanich for Greg is strange but he was raped by Chadli a little and I think Vurnon will be a little more solid and Dario can add a little pace up front so we'll see...

[ajaxcolombia]

Now this is the kind of play I want on may 15. De jong has a good effort saved by Boschker.

[ajaxcolombia]

Anita is doing a good job against bajrami.

[ajaxcolombia]

This looked much better, to bad its such a short time sample. But anita is more solid as a right back.

[Orange14]

Damn, we have so many open players but they are not getting the ball. This match should be over!

[kezme44]

we got twente were we want them, just a bit more pressure and we win this

[ajaxcolombia]

Being a south american myself, i hate the diving stereotype on latin players, but man was that horrible diving by Cvitanich.

[ajaxcolombia]

so that's that...

[ajaxcolombia]

can somebody tell me how the play before was a foul on janko by vertonghen??

[SE6Ajacied]

3-2 bollocks to that. On the positive side if we're going to win one only then I'd much prefer the league.
