22 Feb 2007: Ajax - SV Werder Bremen

[Kowalczyk]

The return leg.... :nooo:

They lost again today against HSV (0-2, both goals scored by VDV) which was and may still stay 18th in Bundesliga... After 3 defeats in a row, they are now third. It would be really nice to increase the crisis, with at least a victory... :eusa_pray:

it seems that eweryone can beat werder now, except us

[ZoefdeHaas]

True, but with all due respect Ajax were unlcky to not have all their players available.

[Venezuelan Ajacied]

Will we have all the players available come tomorrow ??

[ZoefdeHaas]

Grygera injured, Olaf suspended, Urby most likely injured.

So no.

[Kowalczyk]

Grygera injured, Olaf suspended, Urby most likely injured.

Injured: Urby, Vermaelen, Grygera.
Suspended: Lindenbergh, Gabri.

In other words: forget it. This is a dead game. No way we're gonna make it.

[ZoefdeHaas]

Yeah, true. I'm hoping AZ and PSV are still in the mood of Europe however, so their concentration on the Eredivisie wouldnt be so great. :D

Grygera injured, Olaf suspended, Urby most likely injured.

Injured: Urby, Vermaelen, Grygera.
Suspended: Lindenbergh, Gabri.

Would be nice to get a win and leave Europe with our heads up...at least :sad:

[ZoefdeHaas]

HTC apparently wants an attack minded side to go against Bremen. At least a win would do...hopefully.

Doel: Stekelenburg
Verdediging: Ogararu, Stam, Heitinga en Roger
Middenveld: Perez, Maduro en Sneijder
Aanval: Leonardo, Huntelaar en Babel

I hope Perez gets a chance to play, at least -- I don't know why they don't play him more.

I think we will win this game 1-0, but it doesn't change the fact that we're out of UEFA Cup this year X'C .

I note that Donald is not in the squad. It does seem very strange selection policy to pick akid out of the A1 put him into aEuropean game then drop him out of the squad. Last week the more experinced young midfielder Sarpong was not in the squad but is tonight.

Still it is good to see we are prepared to put youth into our squad. The other night PSV only had 16 players because of injury and obviously do not have faith in their youth to put 2 on the bench.(The main Dutch team in Europe with only 5 subs ! )

[bluedaddy19]

maybe sarpong was nicked then?

anyway, we can retain some hope, if only because werder are known for some euro-collapses

if we can score early, its game on... that being said, im much more concerned with the weekend game at this point

[paladinby]

Werder was owned by Lyon 8-2 if i remember correctly. But we are definitely not Lyon.

[The Purple Cow]

"I note that Donald is not in the squad."

Donald has been given time off to study for some upcoming highschool exams.

Ajax have nothing to lose tonight, so throw caution to the wind and go for the throat straight from the kick-off, I say.

Ok the Germans will probably counter us to death, but what the hell, at least Ajax will have gone down fighting - with a bang rather than a whimper.

[Ayman]

Does anyone know which german channel is televising it? last time it was ZDF. Can anyone let me know please

[Van basten]

What is our starting line?
P.S. i hope sopcast won't disapoint me tonight :eusa_pray:

[Arthur]

The expected 'all-or-nothing' line-up is: Stekelenburg; Ogararu, Stam, Heitinga en Roger; Perez, Maduro en Sneijder; Leonardo, Huntelaar en Babel

[SPL]

Thanks for the info on Donald.

An early goal tonight from us could still make it interesting..

[Van basten]

The expected 'all-or-nothing' line-up is: Stekelenburg; Ogararu, Stam, Heitinga en Roger; Perez, Maduro en Sneijder; Leonardo, Huntelaar en Babel

The best squad for today i think. if HTC wouldn't choose an experiment squad in bremen, maybe our situation wouldn't be su fu*king hopeless..
still, we wil win 5-0 :D :D :D

[bluedaddy19]

great early finish by leonardooooooooooooooo

1-0 (1-3)

we've got ourselves a tie, folk!!!

[Van basten]

fucking sopcast!!!!!!11 i didn't see that!

[foxflyer5]

i missed it too,
but im excited!

this sopcast isnt all that its cracked up to be.

oh, ill settle for uefa's text updates.

perfect way to start when you need four.
lets keep it up.

[bluedaddy19]

1-1 now, but AJAX are goin for it
