Here is hoping that Siggi renews his acquaintance against VVV to the benefit of Ajax. IIRC , the presenters yesterday said he scored five in one match vs. VVV .

Nice. Sometimes it's just nice not to have to do the following things very early in the morning -

1. get on your laptop
2. find sopcast channel
3. hook it up to your tv
4. pray that you don't lose your sopcast channel's audio or video.

Selection for tomorrow -

Kenneth Vermeer
Jeroen Verhoeven
Gregory van der Wiel
Toby Alderweireld
Jan Vertonghen
Anita Vurnon
Miralem Sulejmani
Christian Eriksen
Kolbeinn Sigthórsson
Siem de Jong
Lorenzo Ebecilio
André Ooijer
Daley Blind
Nicolás Lodeiro
Nicolai Boilesen
Derk Boerrigter
Theo Janssen
Thulani Serero

I think with Vertonghen back to distribute from the deep, we might see Jannsen moved up and Anita moving into his spot. If not, then I've read De Boer's plan completely incorrectly...

[ofey]

We really do have a pretty good squad for the Eridivisie but we won't go very far in Europe with our team.
Winning @ VVV won't be too difficult. Question is by how many. I say winning by 2 clear goals should be achievable.

Line up confirmed, and with Vertonghen back the midfield stays intact. To me this is interesting tactically for two reasons. ow we have to players (both left footed too) to distribute from deep positions. Secondly althoug it is a 4-3-3, this teams fluidity can make it to something similar to the 3-3-1-3 formation Van Gaal used, with Vertonghen moving forward to the Rijkaard role and either Eriksen o Siem going to play behind the striker in the Litmanen role. whould be ineresting!!

Hate to say it - but so far they look better than we do - maybe we didn't take them seriously enough, but we better wake up soon.

They are playing a little more physical than our first 2 opponents.

[ajaxcolombia]

It's great that we nw have two left footed free kickers in Janssen and Vertonghen, but we are a little short on the right shooters, Eriksen was close though there. Maybe toby's long range talent can turn into a good freekicking option.

[Tom_]

Great shot on the FK from Eriksen. That's all we've had ...

van der Wiel is not having a good day, so far

[Flipster81]

This is going to be the first game in a while that i'm not getting to watch and i'm gutted. Hopefully you guys can keep me in the loop as to whats happening.

Good to see Janny back in the team.

[Amol]

We are turning the screws now....4 chances which went close in the past 5 minutes.

[Tom_]

Three good chances in a row. Getting closer...

[ajaxcolombia]

so close toby with that header, is this a new trend always playing a short conrner???

[Amol]

Boeriggter put one in finally. But he was just standing lazily in offside for about 10 seconds.

[rjf1]

Looks like they woke up -- really starting to take control of the game now.

[ajaxcolombia]

Oh my god sulejmani was so off!!!!
