1-1 in the end looks like I may have been the only one watching ,did get a stream on sopcast but not until nearly 30 mins gone.Schone scored a nice goal. We had more of the ball but not too many clear chances . Lukoki looks lively but not the finished article and Ebecilio looks overweight ,de Boer has said this in public.Klaassen does not look like the answer to a second striker but then again he is an attacking midfielder. Veltman and Denswil in the middle were not troubled ,well from the 60 min I watched. Norwich must have used 22 players .

After these 2 games in England I still believe we need another CD but another striker is a must as Siggy looked sluggish last Saturday and is now back in Iceland having treatment for an injury .

I only saw the 2nd half as I was watching the US/Romania water polo match. Denswil was really good and kept his head in the game. He and Veltman were playing a crazy high line because of the dominant possession and managed to steal the ball every time a Norwich player got the pass from the midfield. Disappointed in the attack in terms of shooting but the passing in the midfield was outstanding even for a pre-season friendly. I don't know about Klaasen yet since he is still only 19 years old. I wonder if he's not just another Siem de Jong or whether he will turn into a special player. I'm convinced more than ever that Janssen needs to go.

I didn't see the entire game, I watched a stretch of about a half hour, but got to see both goals.

The result is not great, but I thought Ajax's play was alright, actually. They looked quite 'fresh'.
