20 Feb 2014: Ajax - FC Red Bull Salzburg

[Kowalczyk]

UEFA Europa League 2013-2014. Round of 32. First Leg.

Kick-off time at the Amsterdam ArenA is that typically odd Europa League kick-off time of 21:05 CET.

This won't be easy. Everybody's telling me that Salzburg are a very good team. I think they're seventeen points clear in the Austrian league. They won all of their games in the Europa League group stage and they hammered Bayern Munich in a friendly.

Bad news Boilesen's hamstring is slightly strained and Serero groin strain so both are out. Kishna is in the squad

Cillessen ,Vermeer

VRhijn,Moisander Veltman Denswil Riedewald

Klaassen,Poulsen Duarte,Blind,Andersen,

Fischer,Bojan,deJong ,Siggy, Schone ,Kishna.

I'm wondering if Boilesen will ever be fully fit again after all these hamstring problems. Maybe he is Ajax's Arjen Robben.

Nice. What kind of consulting?

That's what I want to do when I retire (about 30 years to go - lol) - do some part-time consulting work.

[SPL]

I'm just retired and do nothing ie lazy.

Schone has injured his ankle in warm up and Sigthorsson replaces him.Hope the injury is not too bad.

Pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and some part time photography. Glad my wife is still working to bring in some money as well.

Schone just injured himself. Sigi will play.

Which is the number one reason to lose out of the EL as quickly as possible.

These guys are fast and putting on an incredible amount of pressure. They were banking on that early goal, because they can't possibly keep this up (without some magic drugs). We don't get a lot of practice against this sort of team and we played right into their hands...

Also one of the best dunny-brush haircuts I've seen in a while.

[Orange14]

Salzburg is just too quick for the players we have out on the pitch. I think this match is now over after the penalty call.

[Manneken Pis]

Salzburg are superior in every department in the first 15 minutes....

[Tom_]

Anyone kept count of how many penalties we've conceded in Europe this season? It's at least four in seven games now...

[Orange14]

This is really getting ugly now. they look like they might score in the double figures is this keeps up.

[saddlerian]

Typical!! Just can't cope with a fast playing, attacking team!!!!!

[Tom_]

Bit of a lesson for Frank de Boer I reckon. These guys have done their homework and are pressuring us in all the right places, and we don't have a plan B to get the ball over the halfway line.

[Orange14]

From bad to worse. I haven't seen such a terrible match since the Utrecht game several years ago. They have absolutely no clue how to play given the pressure. This is not a typical Eredivisie team.

[Manneken Pis]

.... every department .....

What the nuts?
Woke up 15mins late (it's 0745hrs here in Australia) and we're 0-3?:aai.gif:
