I think Orange goblin is right, we need to win the mifield. Maybe sit el Hamdaoui and leave only urby and suarez up front. I'd even do that in the complicated matches in the Eredivise, like PSV and AZ away.

Thanks Philippe and AjaxColombia, when I'll be appointed as the new coach you'll be my assistants, I can promise!
Seriously, the arrival of De Zeeuw seemed to solve some of our problems of personality in midfield, but the guy is not in shape. Enoh is athletically very good, but we can't depend only on him because he is not a great passer. maybe a midfield enoh-de zeeuw (in shape) and vertonghen suits more to European-physical level. But still we have the problem of the good passer. As someone said, it's about when Wesley left.

Yeah, I mean I'm big Siem fan, the guy has an eye for the goal, but he's no playmaker. Erisken is more the playmaker a la Wesley Sneijder type, but lacks that kind of strong presence that wesley had. Eriksen is still very young but hopefully he can mature to be the playmaker we need.
