Ajax travel to play Heracles this Saturday which is the start of four league matches against teams in the bottom half of the table. Stay focused and continue to play good pressing football and the results will come!!!!

A minimum of maximum points in the Eredivisie coupled with 4 points from the next 2 games in the CL would mean a success in the first half of the season. Just hope Ten Hag rotates!
Usually Ajax does ok-ish in the first half of the season then does better in the second half of the season, so this will be interesting.

Only change Rensch for Mazraoui ,who is ill. Jensen and Reeger on the bench.Playing on an artificial surface is never great so lets hope we win and get no injuries.

what a piss poor performance. no creativity, terrible passing, loss of possession all over the field. why eth did not bring on kudus or even danilo is a mystery. third game now after Utrecht and twente where we dropped points and allow psv to stay in the race.

Utterly woeful performance apart from Pasveer who made a couple of good saves. Zero creativity and why were Danilo and Daramy not stuck on as subs.

The only thing worse than watching a football match on an artificial surface is watching one on an artificial surface in a rainstorm. Both keeper made critical saves to keep it a scoreless draw and Schuurs had a nice intervention to prevent a goal as well. Not too many good performances from Ajax other than Pasveer and PSV now creep two points closer to the leaders. Heracles continue to be a tough opponent for Ajax in Alemo

Player Ratings:

Pasveer (7.5) - did not have much to do in the first half but made some outstanding saves to keep yet another clean sheet.
Blind (6) - had some good passes but was otherwise ordinary
Martinez (4.5) - forget about this game, it was bad and he is capable of much better
Timber (5.5) - above average is all
Rensch (5.5) - came off late with a hamstring problem
Alvarez (6) - defended well
Gravenberch (6.5) - did well with the ball at his feet
Berghuis (5) - poor on the night
Tadic (6) - slick surface impacted his ability to be any kind of playmaker on the left side
Haller (6) - OK and nothing more
Antony (5) - average and no better
Klaassen (5.5) - came on for Berghuis but had little impact
Neres (6) - wonderful pass that Tadic headed right at the keeper
Schuurs (6) - had a saving intervention in a 2 on 1 situation

Off to Dortmund to take on an injury riddled side in the Champions League. Ajax will have to play much better than tonight if they want to get a result.
Appie Nouri will forever be remembered for his grace and humanity on and off the pitch!

Not sure whether that was worse than Twente and Utrecht games although i would say yesterday probably was the worst. Looking at the 3 games, apart from getting a draw v Utrecht, we did not play well enough to get wins in any of those games. PSV seem to be able to get wins in the last 10 mins and Feyenoord got a late win today.We never seem able to do this.

Daramy ,Kudus and Danilo should all have been thrown on for the last 10 mins especially as Haller Tadic had poor games .Apart from Pasveer ,who had a good game ,I would not have given any of the others more than a 5 rating.
