18 Oct 2011: GNK Dinamo Zagreb - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

UEFA Champions League group stage, group D, matchday 3!

Match at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb. We won our last game there.

If we want something in the CL, this is pretty much a must-win.

Only change from yesterday's squad V d Wiel for Ligeon

Vermeer, Cillessen,

V D Wiel, Alderweireld,Vertonghen,Anita, Ooijer, Blind,Koppers

Enoh, Eriksen,Janssen,Lodeiro,

Sulejmani, de Jong,Bulykin,Boerrigter, Lukoki.

Good news that Vermeer is fit .

[kezme44]

always a very hostile place to play. think one of our supporters was knifed couple of years ago there

[Kowalczyk]

Vermeer is available; Van der Wiel not suspended for European games, obviously.

always a very hostile place to play.

U got that right. Twice i was in Zagreb for games (handball & football) and both times our car was damaged - first time they stole 2 tires from our car, second our front window was smashed to pieces, and no one saw anything
No problems so far, the fans are enjoying, with the police security naturally

Sure hope we win this one, although they have a few good players like Sammir and especially Badelj and Vida

[Ayman]

So whats going on?

So whats going on?

We're playing crap, Dynamo are really really crap though.
If we had a striker instead of Siem de Jong we'd be winning 3-0.

[Orange14]

Truly amazing that this isn't 2-2 or even greater given the play of both defenses. I cannot believe how many weak passes we are making particularly back towards our own goal. Janssen is the only one on the field who seems to weight the passes correctly. de Jong missed several good opportunities. Vermeer made at least 3 good saves to keep a clean sheet so far. van der Wiel needs to get his head in the game. Enoh has had both good and bad moments (fortunately more good play than bad). Boerrigter is beating his man and was a bit unfortunate not to get a penalty out of the tackle from behind. It was borderline on being in the box. Eriksen is doing better than in past matches. Sulejmani had some nice plays but wasted a couple of possible opportunities by shooting from distance. Anita did well but you can see he is limited going forward from the back by being a right footed player.

This will be a wide open match in the 2nd half with either team being able to score.

[Van basten]

God Damn Siem, how many chances do you need?

[Pablo.V]

Well i am sorry but i cant stand this anymore, is FDB blind. Come one De Jong is killing us, he is not qualified to be an ajax player period. He is not a midfielder and not a striker, he is slow and misses every chance he's got.And sadly enougth this is the case for a long time, but still he is in starting 11 every week!!!
P.S - Stop with these odd corners!!

[Manneken Pis]

P.S - Stop with these odd corners!!

Amen Brother Pablo ... they are very annoying.

[Kowalczyk]

Hmm, surprised you're all so negative...

I thought the first half wasn't that bad. We created loads of chances. Not bad at all.

Of course it's not perfect. This is not top level.

[Ayman]

Using the link which Snyde posted. Thanks!!

[paladinby]

Bulykin is on for Boerrigter, Eriksen will probably move to a winger...

[Amol]

Why is FDB playing with our shape once again? We were beaten doing the same exact thing about a month ago.

[#14]

Eriksen!

With the result in Madrid, Ajax will be in 2nd....

[Amol]

0-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Van basten]

that's how it's done!!!!!

[paladinby]

Good play by Bulykin to setup a 2nd goal.

Happy that the ugly streak is broken. 2 cleensheets in CL out of 3 games.
