13 Mar 2011: Willem II - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Eredivisie, matchday 27.

#18 vs #3.

This might be Ajax's very last game against Willem II, ever. The press reckons that Willem II, if they go down, will also go out of business...

I'll be in Tilburg for this one.

Squad was the same ie no El H but disaster Steks has broken his thumb in training today and is out for 4to 6 weeks . Graafland is on the bench as Vermeer is still not ready to play , Vermeer is back in training but taking it easy .

[Orange14]

Vertonghen is captaining the side today. Same lineup save Steks.

[Ajaxfanuk]

Hopy Steks and Vermeer get fit soon, I feel dubious about pizza being in goal for an extended run

[Amol]

Crap. Down 1-0 already.

[Orange14]

We are really sleepwalking out there. Hangover from Thursday. Thanks to a stupid play by Toby we are down 0-1

[rjf1]

Goalkeeper howler -- pure and simple.

[bluedaddy19]

VVV are up early at twente... i'd say that is worth a goal down the tilburg stink it up

[Amol]

De Zeeuw has brought over his 'non-shooting' boots from Thursday. Missed taking a shot this time after a great through ball from Eriksen.

[Orange14]

Ebecilio must have spent some time learning the tricks in Portugal. Well deserved yellow card for a dive in the box!

[rjf1]

That dive would have gotten a 1.0 from an olympic judge.

[Amol]

Yeah he must be watching one too many C Ronaldo videos....and De Zeeuw misses another one.

[bluedaddy19]

twente make it 1-1 over there...

[Orange14]

Fortunately the ESPN feed has died; I don't know if I can really watch much more of this match. What an awful performance after Thursday. I hope de Boer throws things in the half time meeting with the team as this is really bad.

[Venezuelan Ajacied]

Fucking hell, must we also suffer against the last team in the league ? Christ.

[Amol]

Can't I just wake early on a weekend and have a boring, straightforward 2-0 or 1-0? I mean seriously.

Why the fuck do we have to chase the game against a team which has won 2 games all season and has 11 points. Get a hold of yourselves guys.

[souras84]

the question is can frank say smth to change things around

[SPL]

Verhoeven was at fault although Toby made a mistake. Why is de Zeeuw playing up front , get him off and put Cvitanich on as I do not see us getting a goal .Thats 2 chances he has cocked up and a striker would have buried them.

[Amol]

Wow......great comeback...great move by Ozbiliz and goal!!!!!!!!

[Orange14]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Ozbiliz to Siem; we are even now.

[rjf1]

At least now we are moving the ball with a purpose -- keep it up and their tongues will be hanging out by the final 10 minutes and we can put the game away.

[Orange14]

Why are we playing Jol-long ball?

[rjf1]

Somebody needs to teach Cvitanich the offside rule.

[Orange14]

Wow that was way too harsh. Yellow, OK but straight red?????

[Amol]

Was that a red for one of their guys?? WTF?
