22 FEB 2015 Willem II - Ajax Match Day 24

[Orange14]

Paraphrasing the great Willie Nelson hit ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBN86y30Ufc ), Ajax hits the road again and will do so more times in the run out to the end of the season. Curious how the schedule became so unbalanced. Willem II lie just outside the top half of the table and are doing OK this season. This should be an interesting match, particularly as Ajax have a short turn around because of EL action.

Veltman and Riedewald are injured so here is the selection for tomorrow. I wonder how long Klaassen will play given his groin issue.

What time is the game, and (if it's not too early) will there be any decent streams? I might get up early to watch...

Hi Jim 14.30 CET ,livetv did good streams for the Legia game .

I'm on sky 5 sport live today. Just to show Sky rate Ajax more important , PSV,who kick off at the same time are meerly on the red button!

Not sure of what lineup we will see. Incidently Riedewald is not injured . He could play for Jong tomorrow or U19 v Roma U19 in Tuesdays U19CL! Zivkovic and Bazoer could still play in that U19 game ,just shows how talented these 3 x18 year old kids are ie. way too good for youth level.

line up

Cillessen

V Rhijn,V d Hoorn Moisander Viegever

Bazoer,Klaassen,Sinkgraven

El Ghazi,Milik,Schone

subs Boer,Boilesen,Tete,Serero,Andersen,Zivkovic,Kishna

I would expect to see Boilesen,Serero and Kishna start on Thursday as FDB said he would alternate the team as there are EC games at present in midweek and some of our players need to be protected ie Klaassen Boilesen Serero all carrying recent injuries.

[King Litti]

Exactly the midfield line up is was hoping to see.

[SPL]

Agree about our midfield,I think Sinkgraven looks good for a19 year old and certainly adds something to our team

[Dave the mac]

Up early and looking forward to the game. I too like this line-up, except for Moisander.
Comon' Ajax!

[Cruijff]

Altough Boilesen never makes any goals or assists, we need his energy (his constant running forward) in this game.

I would take off Moisander for Boilesen, put Viergever left in our defending centre and then Boilesen in the team as left back.

Thanks - but I can never get that one -- invariably get an error message that the address encoding is bad -- I suspect it's not accepting the connection due to my country location.

[Orange14]

About time that we scored. Way to open them up.

[Cruijff]

Lucky goal by Milik but very nice attack!!!

[SPL]

yes Milik for a goal ,superb pass from Schone

[Dave the mac]

Great assist from Schone. Willem has been playing well, a timely goal.

[Cruijff]

A disgrace that referee Kevin Blom ends the first half 7 seconds too early while Willem II was fully in the attack!

Why referee, why??

[SPL]

we have played decently and deserve to be in the lead given our chances.Schone playing well.Lets get a quick 2nd after HT and win this game.

[rjf1]

Missed seeing the goal, but I finally got a sopcast stream -- at least I'll get to watch the second half.

I will try to get a 'Fox Sports go' free access pass for you within a week.

[Orange14]

That one is on Viergever. Really poor.

[SPL]

utter shambles by our defence yet again.we have started the half asleep.

[Dave the mac]

Gezz, what a mess. 1-1

Wow! That would be great!

[rjf1]

Don't know about the first half -- missed it -- but from the start of the second half up to the goal, they were playing twice as fast as we were -- and with twice the intensity -- it was like a disaster waiting to happen.
