18 OCT 2014 FC Twente-Ajax Match Day 9

[Orange14]

Away matches in Enschede are always tough hard fought games. This one should be no different. Unfortunately, my wife and I will be visiting friends in Montreal next weekend and it's highly likely that I'll miss the game. Let's hope that the week off for international duty helps FdB sort some things out.

I will be home for this game and notice its live on sky sports 2 .

Another big game for Ajax, After a slow start Twente has played well of late. The only Eredivisie team without a loss.
A win by Twente would see them overtake Ajax in the standings and loose further ground to PSV.

Ajax will have to do without Boilesen who suffered a concussion playing for Denmark. Looked nasty.
So who will replace him, Viergever or Riedewald? Probably the former but then who plays DM, Serero or Zimling?
Perhaps de Boer has something else in mind but don't think he will want to make too many change in such an important game.

[SPL]

A tough game tonight.I'm watching on Sky 2 thus sky show how important Ajax are.

Serero and Andersen in midfield and Viergever LB.A draw would be a good result on our recent form

[Van basten]

Andersen in the middle, Finally!

[souras84]

OMG I can't get a stable streaming... Aaaaargh

[Tom_]

Whoa, where did Moisander get to? I think he was in their half when the goal went in!

[Dave the mac]

I've also had a very difficult time finding a good stream...found one just before their goal. Not looking good so far.

[souras84]

What a spineless performance

[Tom_]

Funny, I had problems with my VPN as well and missed the first seven mins.

We are certainly not looking good. Tons of silly errors. But Twente won't be able to keep this pressure up for >60 minutes (I hope)...

[souras84]

I think we actually don't have a midfield tonight... I am sure Frank didn't buy Mokotjo, even with Blind in the team, cause he was sure Serero would be a perfect Defensive/Controlling Midfielder

[Dave the mac]

The half time whistle was about the only thing to cheer about. Other than good efforts from Sigy and Schone towards the end of a a real stinker...horrible passing.

[SPL]

Somwhere between aweful and woeful so far. No attack,no Midfield and only Veltman looking ok in defence

[Dave the mac]

Well a goal is a goal...

[Tom_]

Siggy! Happened in slo-mo but it's still a goal!

[souras84]

Bloody hell, he made it! He scored at last and he was subbed

[souras84]

and they look TIRED

[Tom_]

Oh crap. Hamstring for Serero? We're up a certain creek if he's out for long...

[Orange14]

I am in Montreal. Is the game over? Score?

[zeux]

Almost. 1-1, last minute of extra time.

[zeux]

And end of game. 1-1.

[souras84]

We were too late. And Serero's injury put an end to our constant pressing... Too bad, we could have escaped with 3 points, even though unworthy

[Orange14]

A point at Twente is ok in my book. Sounds like the team played poorly.

[Dave the mac]

Serero had come off late, looked like a hamstring. Hope he's okay as he lead a 2nd revival for Ajax. A draw was a good result after an absolute dismal 1st half. PSV won today....

[Van basten]

Am i the only one, who doesn't feel sad because of Serero injury?...
