9 NOV 2014 Cambuur Leeuwarden - Ajax Match Day 12

[Orange14]

After a hard fought battle against Barcelona, Ajax head back to league competition against Cambuur who lie fifth in the table. Dejan Meleg is on loan to the club this season but has not played much

[SPL]

As expected the only change in our 18 is Denswil and Kishna are not there having played for Jong last night and Menig and V d Hoorn replace them.

[SPL]

A tough game today and its sky sports again for me.Good news the only change from those who started v Barca Milik instead of Siggy.

Professionalism? Confidence? Good judgement?

[Orange14]

Wow a striker who can score! Great shot by Milik.

[King Litti]

When did siggy score a goal like that the last time? I think we have a new number 9.

[Orange14]

Great passing and Klaassen with a delicate finish. Now we are cooking with oil!

[Tom_]

Horrible, horrible start, we got lucky on Milik's goal (eyes closed punt upfield from Boilesen after he tried to give the ball away a couple of times), but that Klaassen goal was a beauty. 3 MFs and Schöne combined really well to set that up!

[Tom_]

Geez, does Boilesen do anything but turn the ball over?

[Orange14]

Two nice goals but really horrible play on the Cambuur goal and we are up 2-1 at the half. Team really has to focus now as this is not a certain good lead by any means.

[SPL]

Terrible start but 2 lovely taken goals. We need to concentrate and not give away another stupid goal.

[Tom_]

Yep, we got some control back after Milik's goal and things looked a little better. We're giving too many chances away against teams we should be comfortably beating, although Cambuur deserves credit for their work cutting off the passing options for our back 4 bringing the ball up. That led to the goal on the turnover from van Rhijn and another turnover from Andersen that almost got them a 2–0 lead... and at least 4 giveaways from Boilesen. I don't think they will be able to keep up the pressure throughout second half so we should get more time to build.

[Orange14]

Another great display of passing. Good cross by el Ghazi to Milik for the tap in. This is what we want to see!!!

[Tom_]

Another cracking goal!

[Orange14]

The striker who shall not be named enters for Milik

[Orange14]

el Ghazi was really too selfish on that goal. Had a clear pass to van Rhijn who was streaking in.

[Orange14]

First time I've ever seen the match official come off because of injury. Looks like a knee problem.

[Tom_]

I wonder how much ground the ref covers in a game? 10 Km or so? Guess you'd expect the odd injury...

[Orange14]

Dive gets the PK and Cillessen keeps his record of never saving a penalty alive.

[Orange14]

Off to cook breakfast; player ratings will come later.

[Tom_]

l'OrangeXIV, it was a big flop but Moisander had a handful of shirt, so...

Two good goals, some nice attacking play and it was an entertaining game. Credit to Cambuur for trying to play football but according to our tactics we should be walking all over inferior teams who play like that, when in reality they were right in it for the first 50 minutes or so.

[SPL]

A good win in the end with some lovely goals by us.Dreadful decision at the end ,never a penalty.

Serero had a decent game as DM but he is not an attacking MF.
