More kids included. Fischer de Sa and Ligeon are in the squad. Sulejmani is not deemed 100% fit and Lukoki had problems in training hence Fischer and de Sa included

Vermeer Cillessen

V Rhijn Alderweireld,Moisander, Blind , Ligeon, Veltman ,Dijks

Poulsen Eriksen Schone de Jong

Sana Babel Boerrigter de Sa Fischer

Appears to be one too many defenders and a midfielder light ie Sporkslede was in the last squad ! Enoh will likely play for Jong Ajax on Monday so should be back on the bench for either Man city or Fword .

Ligeon can move into the midfield if needed.

subs Cillessen,Veltman Ligeon Dijks de Sa,Fischer and Babel

Surprised that Babel is on the bench .

Hope for a sopcast link but at least firstrow works for me without adverts .

The field looks tiny -- also looks like it hurts when a player falls.

Looks like a video game on artificial turf at night...

[rjf1]

Moisander -- nice through pass to Shone -- shot past the goalie that the defender puts into his own net -- 1-0 for the good guys.

[Tom_]

Didn't look like it was going in, did it?

That was a very nice finish

[rjf1]

Another goal coming by way of defensive error -- but nice pass from Siem and finish by Schone to get it into the net.

[souras84]

i was wondering what you were talking about... my stream is super slow

[rjf1]

Is it my imagination, or is that referee calling a very one-sided game?

[Orange14]

Generally a good first half. Defense kept their shape and cleared the dangerous balls. Glad to see that we are giving as good as we are getting in a rough match. Big difference from the Utrecht match when we were too passive. Heracles are not very good and there should be a couple of more goals in the 2nd half. Midfield without de Jong is much quicker on the ball.

[Tom_]

Not a scintillating half of football but I'll take the scoreline. Sana has not looked good for the past few games IMO. Boerrigter also struggling.

[rjf1]

I'm still pretty nervous about the outcome -- there were a couple of times where they could have scored off of a scramble in front of the goal -- this is the kind of game where the ball can take a crazy bounce off of a scramble and wind up in the net. It will take another goal before I can relax with this one.

[SPL]

very comfortable so far and we should win easy . Watching on firstrow on small screen in english but like last game I note sopcast has come up on MM6 Has anyone else been watching on sopcast and has it been ok

[SPL]

hope that Fischer gets 30 mins today

[souras84]

It's the first time since early September I actually have a stream on sopcast. 13th Stream...

I tried another program today and it seemed ok. Torrent Streams

[rjf1]

Not a scintillating half of football but I'll take the scoreline. Sana has not looked good for the past few games IMO. Boerrigter also struggling.

Sana performs much better when he plays on the left -- imo it was a big mistake to let Ozbiliz go -- he did a much better job on the right.

[rjf1]

...I note sopcast has come up on MM6 Has anyone else been watching on sopcast and has it been ok

I'm watching on 13th stream -- 1st time it's been showing this year, as has been said -- beautiful stable stream.

[souras84]

Will FdB ever take De Jong off?!?!?!

[rjf1]

I'm not going to say "I told you so," but....

Any lotto tips?

[souras84]

Jeah! And we got one directly back!! ha ha

I feel sad about Dirk, he was one of our top 3 players last year, got himself on the Ducth Euro 2012 squad and then... all hell broke loose. Now he is just a shadow of what he used to be.
