30 Mar 2014: Ajax - FC Twente

Yeah you're right, I don't know where got the idea Moisander was actually taller. Every defence has it's strengths and weaknesses, and yes height isn't everything, for examplethiago silva isn't the tallest of the lot and nobody would doubt a backline with him is fearsome, and yes, on the other end of the spectrum you have mertesacker who is just around average.

Crazy idea...could denswil play DM if Boilesen can't stay heatlhy and blind goes back to LB? He does like to play with the ball on his feet and can put in a good tackle.

I will remind you that we have VdHoorn who is the tallest of them all...

Damn it! I didn't see the AZ game or the Twente game. But we won, so I might consider not watching such game NEXT year. When we'll be gunning for the 5th in a row

And of course Danny Blind wasn't very tall either, and he could play a bit.

To say nothing of our current manager who, at 1.80, wasn't too bad ( ), either.

In spite of the fact that he scored the goal (from a set piece -- still nothing from open play), Denswil has been a real liability on defense. If it were up to me, I would replace him sooner rather than later.

He had to cover up for both Boilesen and Blind who were terrible at fullback today; they were constantly getting beaten

IMO Boilesen had a very good first half.
