23 Nov 2010 : Ajax - Real Madrid CF

[Orange14]

Decent enough 37 minutes of play but we cannot generate any offense; unable to create any mismatches on the offensive end. Players taking on two defenders is not a recipe for any kind of success. The couple of opportunities we had were lost because of wildly poor crosses. Too bad for Steks on the second goal; replay shows it ricocheting off El Hamdaoui (I think that's who it was). I would like to see us get one back to make things respectable. Auxerre and Milan are 0-0 at the half.

[saddlerian]

Well, what can you expect! With 2 players, Sulejmani El Hamdaoui, not contributing anything to the team....the latter being more of a hindrance, just living on the back of his lague games.....there's no chance!!!

Jol....he's supposed to be a coach who packs his team with midfielders......where the f**k are they?

Game over....season over....and it's still four weeks until Christmas!!!

Enoh was unlucky as there was no contact but I am watching it in english and they are saying it is men v boys and sadly I cannot disagree. Have to say i think they will score more goals. I would stick Eriksen on and Ozbiliz nothing to lose .

[saddlerian]

I agree, Enoh was a little unlucky...but who was not picking up his man for the 1st goal........!!!

[Philippe]

I disagree. We were playing well till the hopeless referee offered a free-kick to RM and a yellow card to Enoh. It is by no means "men against boys" as it was for the away game in Spain.
Let's see what happens in the second half.
Things being what they are, it would be better if AC Milan could wake up and score against Auxerre.

(I don't think we'll Jol at the Arena in 2011... )

Did I just see De Zeeuw coming in for El Hamdaiou?? Mother of God!! I'm super confused.

[saddlerian]

Ok, Phillipe...we were playing well for the first 36 minutes....without creating anything!!!! Our real creative player is being forced "out" by El Hamadoui....who's contributing diddly shit!!! It' about time that he put some ruddy effort in..

I suppose it's plan B now.....!!!

[Orange14]

Absolutely amazing!

By the way, since I'm still watching this, does anyone have a non-sopcast stream? Mine is sucking really really bad.

That would be helpful if anyone's got one - couldn't find anything. After some bad experiences I don't do sopcast so "watching" this in text at the moment (but by the sound of what you lot are saying I've made a wise choice anyway).

[Amol]

Yeah I'm stuck on some really bad arabic stream. I'm at work, so can't use sopcast.

In other news, Milan just scored at Auxerre

Great Feed!!!!

[saddlerian]

...and another one goes on!!!!!

Season over....unless AC give something!!!!

[Orange14]

Yet another lazy pass, this time from Urby, with disastrous results. 0-3 When will they ever learn that you need to have hard crisp passes. Just terrible. BTW, de Zeeuw has looked pretty decent out there.

[saddlerian]

I agree....might have been better to start with him and Suarez...might have at least pressed them!!!!

[Orange14]

Why Lindgren now? Oh, I get it he's playing all those who are suspended for this weekend's match!!!

[saddlerian]

it's like a public training session!!!!

[kezme44]

that was it. never expected us to get out of this group. we were unlucky it that respect. just hate how horrible we played the last two champions league games. still think we'll finish third. at least we made some money by qualifying, which we really really needed

[saddlerian]

My God Urby!!! What the f*ck are you playing at?????

[Orange14]

Pretty weak penalty call; the day just gets worse for Urby.

[Amol]

Oh wow. This is just very disgusting. This guy Jol is scared shitless and keeps sending in mid-fielders.

[saddlerian]

Well, Plan B isn't working.....What's next?

[Orange14]

What a bonehead play by Xabi Alonso. What was he thinking about. up by four goals and screwing around delaying a free kick. Absolutely stupid.

[saddlerian]

Oh well, AC 2-0 up....is that a lifeline to extend the season????

[Orange14]

Just unbelievable yet again. Are they trying to get everyone suspended for Auxerre?
