27 SEP 2014, NAC - Ajax Match Day 7

[Orange14]

Another Saturday fixture because of CL football next week. Will the club build upon the offensive display from yesterday?

[Ayman]

Viergever must play at left back instead of Boilesen. Milik must start instead of Sigthorsson. I assume Schone wont be risked, so play Kishna and Ghazi on the flanks

Another Saturday fixture ...

Noted! Thanks :)

This will sadly be too late for me. I'll get my footy fix in, however, because I'll be manning the midfield for my local team. Look for me to replace Serero in the Ajax midfield soon.

The NAC match is on @ 8:30 in the morning here, if my calculations are correct. Perfect time!

It will be very interesting to see what the line-up will be. De Boer is very loyal to his starters, but even he must be wondering if some changes are needed. I think most of us fans are convinced of this. Would be a shock if Boilesen retains his spot, even he admits he's not played well. Lot's of criticism to go around however.

Seems as if Ajax always starts the season slow, still the team is tied for 2nd place, with Zwolle who are at home to Heracles, who we know can be a very difficult team.....
PSV are away to Heerenveen which could be interesting.

Well I'm hoping for some changes and a good result. At least I won't have to set the alarm.

It could only be an improvement.

You will be an hour early for the kick off. According to my schedule it starts at 12:30 EDT which means 9:30 west coast.

[Dave the mac]

Oops - your absolutely right! Gives me time to clean up the place a bit and get my kit together.

So, Schone is not in the selection today, the hammy still not right. Ajax seems to sputter without him. Perhaps Anderson could take his spot and be of better use than out on the wing.

Well, we lost pretty handily, but I scored with (if I say so myself) a nice chip over the keeper from just inside the 18.

13th Stream is good today.

Edit: It looks like they are showing the Vitesse - Dordrecht game instead of ours.

[Orange14]

I didn't catch all of the interview as my Dutch is rusty but I think Ajax was delayed in getting to the stadium and the match will not start on time. Sopcast is showing Dordecht/Vitesse right now.

[SPL]

The last saturday game Heracles I did not know sky showed it on the red button. Currently red button has Real match so I may have to find a stream.

[rjf1]

Anybody know what time they are going to start the game?

Edit: N.M. Looks like the team is taking the field now.

[Dave the mac]

Yep some sort of traffic jam....

Well true to form looks like de Boer will stay with the same stale line-up. Siggy and Boilesen look to be in the starting 11. wtf?

[Orange14]

18:45 was listed but Ajax did not get on the pitch for warmups until 18:30. Sopcast stream now has the studio show back on.

[Orange14]

Relatively routine shot from distance by van Rhijn that the keeper just doesn't react to. 0-1

[Orange14]

Wow that was really nice! Serero-Boilesen-and Siggie buries it!

The shot was very nicely placed and the keeper wasn't able to see it until it was too late. Siggy's goal was a beaut.

[Dave the mac]

Wow - just like that Ajax is up 0-2! Great goal from Siggy - his first of the season.

[Dave the mac]

How did he do that? 0-3 Siggy!

[Orange14]

Real nice pass from Klaassen and our Icelandic giant looks like he's finally waken from his slumber. 0-3

[rjf1]

What can you say -- No beating up on Siggy this week.

[Amol]

Am I dreaming? Siggie just put away 2 out of 2 chances in the last 5 minutes.

[Dave the mac]

Yep always liked that guy...

[Orange14]

Well played first half. They withstood some early pressure from NAC and then started pushing forward. Nice passing and no mistakes for the most part. Totally deserved three goal lead.
