25 Sep 2010: FC Twente - Ajax

[SPL]

Only managed to watch the second half. I put sopcast on to get NVS to be told there was a virus threat in it !
I ended up looking at our dutch friends thread and got livefootballstream in english but even that kept
freezing for about 4 seconds and then continued so the most frustrating game for me. Did anyone else have problems with sopcast or a stream.The game was on ESPN over here but was delayed for 2hours
something they do regularly so I am still sticking to streams but yesterday was bad for streams.

Pleased with a draw but would ask how we managed not to sign Siem's brother as he looks good. The last time we won in Twente was under Van basten when we played like Inter Milan circa 1964 , cannot spell catanacia or what even that word is.Anyway that was the ugliest game ever played by an Ajax team .

Cracking game of football, probably the best I've seen in any league so far this season. Pretty good result, all things considered.

Great game of football. Very good first half performance from Ajax. Pretty good result.

Yeah. Nice one.

Catenaccio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenaccio I vaguely remember the match. Didn't we have one or two players missing because of suspension? I felt at the time it was the only option for Marco to come out with all three points.

Might I remind you what we looked like with the likes of Marco van Basten, Adrie Koster and Ronald Koeman as manager? The reality is that we just drew away to the defending champions. Perhaps we didn't look like Ajax circa 1973, but we're far more pleasing on the eye than we have been in the last five years or so. Complaining about the the style of play is what got Co Adriaanse run out of here, and he was probably the last good manager we had.

Amen to that, brother. We have to be pleased with a point from this one. And Ajax were fun to watch. I haven't seen that much swagger in a long time. I was well pleased.

I've also seen this blog this year that has been doing some pretty in-depth analysis after games, similar to zonalmarking. In case any is interested, here's the link for this match:
