14 AUG 2021; Ajax - NEC; Match Day 1

Bericht door Orange14 » ma aug 09, 2021 10:57 pm

Ajax start the league this weekend with a home match against NEC. Tagliafico is suspended for the first two matches of the season because of the Red Card he picked up in the Cruyff Shield loss against PSV. Rensch is the logical choice to start at LB. I'm not sure if I will do player ratings this season. It depends on whether I can get reliable game broadcasts. I don't want to spend the effort if I have to worry about streams going in and out. I'm going to see if I can set up an IPTV stream using one of the Dutch services that carry ESPN NL. That seems to be the best approach to what I've seen.

EtH had his press conference today. Kudus is still out with an ankle injury. Schuurs is also out. Antony rejoined the club this week from the Olympics and will be training today but is not in the match squad for tomorrow. Stekelenburg is healthy and will start in goal.

Steks back, Blind at LB. subs very weak , Neres,Rensch Pasveer all ok but the others are not Ajax 1st team material.Labyad Ekkelenkamp and Magallan should all be sold asap. Tagliafico,Kudus Antony,Schuurs Taylor and Danilo all missing though.

I had to watch on my phone as a car traveling way to fast crashed into a utility pole that carries out fiber connection to the Internet. Easy win and I can't do player ratings. Would note that Timber is superb.

Ajax just coasted the 2nd half playing in low gear but a very comfortable start to the league season.Some nicely taken goals in that 1st half.

Meant to add a nice way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Arena.

We were close to top gear for about 20-30 minutes in the first half and were essentially able to do whatever we wanted. I agree - Timber was outstanding today.

Except Haller and Klaassen, I thought everyone had a great game. The subs weren't able to show much since the tempo had become way too slow by that time and we were almost disinterested in scoring more after the 5th.

+1 to what Amol said.

I shouldn’t write him off but I do wonder if Klaassen will lose his spot to Berghuis once Anthony is back in the squad… we’ll see

It's possible. Berghuis often dropped into the MF for Feyenoord last season. He is much better on the ball. Of course Kudus may also be an option
