28 Sep 2013: Ajax - Go Ahead Eagles

[GangstaRiB]

Damn.... 4-0 and I didn't blink with my eyes.....

[saddlerian]

Four in four minutes....I take it that de Jong led the Half Time talk!!!

[Van basten]

Imagine somoene goes for a smoke for 5 minutes, comes back and it's not 0-0 anymore, it's 4-0

[Amol]

I don't care if we score any more - I want to see a clean sheet.

[souras84]

I bet Klaasen will be brought on shortly. It was about time we stopped missing chances

[Amol]

5-0!!

Is that Xandro Schenk from Jong Ajax who is playing LB for them?

[saddlerian]

5-0...plenty of time left....good job I put a bet on more than 5 goals....might win something today!!!!

[Amol]

Goddamn Fisher - just put the damn thing in!!

De Jong cleans up - 6-0

[saddlerian]

6-0...that's next month's housekeeping in the bank!!! Let's have some more!!!

[souras84]

I hope Fischer scores the 1-0 against Milan...

[Amol]

Alright boys, for the love of God, keep your act together. DON'T CONCEDE GOALS!!

[souras84]

Does the referee pity them???

[Amol]

Ok I understand why the ref is not giving penalties for the 2 handballs in the penalty area in terms of this game. But we've lost a league title on goal difference before.

[saddlerian]

A good second half show...great commitment...(Poulsen didn't make a false pass in 2nd half)...MOM has to be Fischer....he never gave up...let's take this into the Milan game!!!

BE CONFIDENT!!!!!...that's your armchair manager's plea!!

[souras84]

If we only had more true wingers... Think about Fischer, Andersen, Klaassen and co. in our midfield

[SPL]

after a frustrating 1st half the OG let the flood gates open and a great win . Some very good performances tonight Fischer worked his socks off and Poulsen had a fine game.

Someone asked the question, Schenk their LB who gave away the Duarte goal was ex Jong Ajax

[King Litti]

We needed a lucky deflection to set the magic in motion and after that the go ahead defence was in shambles and the goals just kept on coming. Nice win. Really hoped Ficher would have gotten to the score board. He was very active, but really should have scored tonight. Well, maybe against Milan (hope the injury wasn't too bad).We wont get this many chances against Milan, so we must be more clinical with our finishing.

[paladinby]

Poulsen should've been subbed after those 4 goals in 6 minutes as we'll need him against Milan. I missed first 10 mins, what was Bojan's position in the starting lineup?

[Orange14]

The goals came fast and furious following the own goal by the GAE defender. Fischer again was unlucky not to have scored one but did have some nice passes setting up teammates. The opponent was not very good tonight, 80% of the match was played in their half and our defenders had very little to do. We saw more good crosses from de Sa in this match and I suspect the right wing position is now his to lose (hope this doesn't happen).

Player Ratings (because of the poor quality of the opponent cannot grade anyone higher than 7):

Cillessen (6.5) - had little to do but did parry one rocket shot from distance
Boilesen (6.5) - good match and showed some nice speed when handling the ball
Denswil (6.5) - really is very good with the ball; had no defending to do
Moisander (6.5) - as with Denswil, had little or no defending to do
van Rhijn (6.5) - didn't have to defend and did get some touches in the offensive end
Poulsen (6.5) - better second half in terms of his passing; will he be fit for Milan on Tuesday?
Duarte (6.5) - seems to have good field awareness but needs to be stronger on the ball; free kicks were uniformly poor
de Jong (6.5) - better match both in the midfield and up front
Fischer (6.5) - pretty solid match and was creating a lot of danger on the left side
Bojan (NR) - disappointing to pull a muscle so soon after the start of the game
de Sa (7) - some great crosses and good to see him on the scoreboard
Sigthorrson (6.5) - two good goals and wonderful assist on the own goal
Klaasen (6) - good run as a substitute
Andersen (6) - nice layoff for Fischer near the end of the game

Milan at home in the CL on Tuesday. If Poulsen cannot go who will be the holding midfielder?

[Orange14]

bad that Poulsen completed more passes to opponents than team mates. Duarte is beginning to look like another Serero, too weak on the ball and easily dispossessed. I hope I'm wrong here. Fischer is looking active and Boilessen is a good complement. I would rather see de Jong at striker than Sigthorrson but neither player is particularly quick at getting a shot away.

Is this the "armchair manager" speaking.....let's be a bit positive....the effort is much better than lately....and I know that you don't like Poulsen, but lay off him a bit...he's one of the better players...disagree about the passes, he's doing more running than most!!!!

Come on....the goal WILL come!!!!

I don't dislike Poulsen; he slows down the team and yes, I did keep a running tally of poor passes. As I noted, he had a much better second half.

[Orange14]

Poulsen should've been subbed after those 4 goals in 6 minutes as we'll need him against Milan. I missed first 10 mins, what was Bojan's position in the starting lineup?

striker

[Van basten]

We already lost 10 points in 8 games and still will be just 1 point from 1st spot..

[King Litti]

Milan at home in the CL on Tuesday. If Poulsen cannot go who will be the holding midfielder?

If it's Schöne, we're screwed as he can't defend. I guess Poulsen would be the best choise from poor options. Hope he has the stamina. Fdb wants to build a team that is accustomed to play with each other so I understand that Enoh is not much of an option as he is a player we're trying to get rid of, but as we are playing in three competitions, it's funny that the guy (whos is experienced and though) doesn't even get to the bench. I think there could be some use for him, though I haven't seen him play for a while.

[Kowalczyk]

Nice: there was a group of Icelandic Sigthórsson fans on the main stand, waving Icelandic flags and holding up S-I-G-T-H-O-R-S-S-O-N signs.

They must have been disappointed when he started on the bench ("oh shit, we come all this way and he's on the bench!"). Two and half goals for Kolbeinn, eventually. Cool.

[Ayman]

Why not throw in Bazoer as the defensive midfielder, I know he is 2 weeks away from his 17th birthday, but, we really dont have much to lose, anyway, who knows he may surprise everyone
