Ajaxtalk

Very pleased with the clean sheets and the (more or less) hard-fought wins over Groningen, NEC and Twente.

But... now it's time for some dominant 'old skool' Ajax football, and a few goals.

K.

YES! I am officially in love with ESPN360. Saturday's game was on, tomorrow's UEFA game is on, and Saturday's game v Sparta is on... I'm getting caught up fast on my Ajax footy!

Starting line-up:

Vermeer
Emanuelson
Oleguer
Van der Wiel
Vermaelen
Gabri
Lindgren
Vertonghen
Huntelaar
Kennedy
Suarez

KJH!!!

Suarez!! 2-0

Whoa!! 2-0. Nice curler by Suarez!!

Oh shit. Not another one

Damn, KJH sprained his ankle..

Shit!!

This injury situation is seriously fucked. Does this mean Evander Sno is going to be our starting centre forward???

Sno!! 3-0!!!

Snooooo!

He says, as Sno scores...

Haha.

I haven't seen an Ajax game like this in ages, we're not even playing that well but Sparta don't seem to have turned up at all. Did they get out of their half in the first 25 minutes?

Just as I thought - 67% Ajax possession at HT. I don't think I've seen Sparta put together more than 3 passes in a row.

Let's hope Huntelaar's injury isn't really bad. Looked like a sprain.

So, can someone with a brain summarise the injury list for me?

PS... that yellow Suarez just picked up doesn't get him suspended again does it?

I don't know why so many people seem to dislike Sno so much -- the few times that I have seen him he has acquitted himself quite well. Nice to see him get a goal!

Definetly won't play against Volendam on Wednesday, and doubtful for psv game..

P.S. We already won this game, so i think we should replace Suarez, that he wouldn't get another yellow card.

For once Suarez didn't dive - looked like the defender stepped on his right foot. Karma.

At least it wasn't an achilles tendon rupture -- which was my first thought when I saw the way he hobbled off the field.

Seems like the switch of Sno to # 9 was a very smart idea in hindsight. He's taken a fair amount of stick, some deserved, and kept plugging away. Congrats Evander !!

Three goals and 67% possession. COME ON AJAX !! You've got Sparta down. Time to put the foot across the throat !

Kennedy!

4:1. I read that Oleguer is out , replaced by Schilder. What's the reason for the switch ?

5-1!!!

Leonardo -- beautifully set up by Sno!!!

Het Fluitsignaal has it at 5:1 now, Leo (in for Suarez?) assisted by Sno.
