[Tom_]

Ha! What's going on?

[ajaxcolombia]

great pass!!! sana!!

[Van basten]

Sana!

[ajaxcolombia]

sana plays some good football

[souras84]

thanks for the links guys, I guess my sopcast has a problem and the darn window stays open during fullscreen.

I guess NEC's defence isn't what someone could present as textbook defence...

[Tom_]

Yeah, all three goals came out of nowhere...

I'd like to see if we can hang on to a clean sheet now

[King Litti]

Good finish by Sana. What did we pay for him? 300 000? What a bargain.

[saddlerian]

37mins....4-0....Jannsen!!!

[souras84]

Is it me or does VdW play more passionate than the last couple of seasons?
Maybe he sees that the only future is a transfer...

[Van basten]

Theo!

[ajaxcolombia]

long range! Theo Janssen

[Tom_]

4–0. Lucky again, strange bounce in front of Babos...

[rjf1]

Looked like both teams were sort of coasting into half time -- then out of the blue we get the 4-0

[saddlerian]

Half Time....4-0...

[souras84]

I'll take it. I've seen us play 10 times better and end up losing...

[Orange14]

Really terrible defending and goalkeeping from NEC is making this one way too easy. Good to see Sana getting on the scoreboard and Lukoki has been a terror down the wing. Alderweireld and van Rhijn got really lucky on the Sno through ball. Any other team would have scored on that break. Game will get progressively slower because of the heat and it's good that we are up 4-0 since we don't need to spend much energy to see this one out. Glad that Vink gave them a 2 minute break at the 23rd minute for water and cold towels. Assume 3 substitutions in the 2nd half and it will be interesting to see who gets some playing time.

wish we played them every week . Hope we can keep a clean sheet. I like ther look of Sana and with Lukoki having agood game not sure we need another winger with Boerrigter and assume Sulejmani .

[Tom_]

Not sure how much we can take out of this match... Lukoki's and Janssen's finishes were both lucky to get past Babos. Sana fumbled his take but NEC weren't bothered to defend so he had time to finish. Eriksen finished nicely off a Vermeer clearance, two NEC defenders had the chance to clear it but fell over instead...

[rjf1]

You are forgetting Fischer -- so we can forget about Suleijmani too.

[saddlerian]

53 mins...5-0...Siem fluke!!!

[rjf1]

Talk about lucky bounces turning into goals -- that 5th was a classic.

[saddlerian]

62mins....5-1

[saddlerian]

5-1 up...water break, and the boss just RANTS at the players!!!!

[rjf1]

Kinda amusing watching Frank read the riot act to the troops -- wish I knew what he said.
