06 Feb 2005: Ajax - FC Twente
Three more days to go and we can wash away the bitter taste of the humiliating home draw against ADO Den Haag. Ajax vs FC Twente!
Will Koeman drop Nicolae Mitea and start with Ryan Babel? Time for Angelos Charisteas to score his first league goal for Ajax?
Have your say!

Hope you don't mind that a dutchy bites the bullet in the new and improved English boards. It seems that Twente's performance parallells with the form NKufo is in. He showed some of his skills against Feyenoord, so we have to wait and see. I honestly hope that Koeman will abandon his farfetched experiment of positioning Babel on the left winger spot. Let's start with selecting the players for their own position. So Maxwell left on the midfield and not as LB. Babel starting on the bench and replacing 'Harry' (Charisteas).
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

One thing is for sure: we will have to adjust the line-up a bit. After two (or even three) games with the same team, Zdenek Grygera has dropped out of the squad with a hamstring injury. Still injured: Tomás Galásek and Boggy Lobont. Banned by Koeman: Anthony Obodai.
Now, what are we going to do?
Heitinga back to the defense? But what about the defensive midfield position then, now that Obodai has been kicked out of the squad for the time being?
There is talk about Rasmus Lindgren...
Or is this the moment for John O'Brien to return to Ajax-1...? He can play as 'Galásek' in midfield!

Yup. Safe bet that De Jong will be the man.Steef schreef:Don't forget Koeman can plug the versatile De Jong into various positions.
Would be nice to see J.O.B. in action, tho. Perhaps as a sub. I mean: he's played a few games with the reserves and is finally match fit. So let's go, Koeman, before something inside his legs breaks again...

I'd like to see De Jong in the defense instead of Grygera. I find De Jong a better defender than Heitinga, at this moment anyways. Besides, i find that Heitinga has trouble with strikers such as N'kufo. I think a defensive block of De Jong - Escude will do for this game. With Trabelsi and Maxwell on the sides. Maxwell on left-back simply because we've got nobody else for that position...
I'd like to see the midfield with a slight variation; Heitinga in the middle, defensive, with Sneijder on the left and Pienaar on the right, replacing v.d. Vaart. Of course this won't happen...
My line-up for this game would be:
Vonk
Trabelsi
De Jong
Escude
Maxwell
Pienaar
Heitinga
Sneijder
Rosales
Charisteas
Boukhari
I'm hoping on a 3-0!

I hope JoB doesn't get selected for the USA team anytime soon. It was playing on the rock-hard Californian pitches that started this whole problem in the first place.
A return to Ajax 1 soon would be cool though. Then Maxwell could move to left-side of mid-field where he was always more comfortable. Or he could play in the Galasek position which is his favourite.

According to AT5 Nigel de Jong will indeed replace Zdenek Grygera.
Line-up will almost certainly be:
Vonk; Trabelsi, De Jong, Escudé, Maxwell; Sneijder, Heitinga, Van der Vaart; Rosales, Charisteas, Mitea/Babel.
Personally I think Koeman will give Mitea one last chance. If he fails again it'll be Babel-time next week on th left wing.

update: 10th minute. Ajax starts strong and lead by 1-0, scored y Escude. [Header out a courner] Rosales is very active, he has his man [heubach i believe] in his pocket.
i don't think we have the same sort of ref PSV had, otherwise we should have a penalty for hands and 2 red cards, Temmink is a good ref.

1-2 for twente, tuma scores. vonk came out of his goal and didnt hit the ball right.
I really hope the Twente tradition continues. Ajax fired Wouters days after ajax-twente [0-1] and co adriaanse got fired after a 3-2 victory against twente.
Pienaar and Ananas replace mitea and vdv.
