26 Oct 2008: Ajax - NEC

Bericht door **Kowalczyk** » vr okt 24, 2008 8:26 am

Next league match.

This lot are on form and normally very well organized. Were 1-2 up at Dinamo Zagreb in the 79th minute. So, again: this won't be an easy one.

On the other hand: I have to say we've been pretty solid at the ArenA, so far.

If they can play as well as the general performance against Villa, last night, should be a walk in the park!

Solid performances by most, last night, defence looked much more secure, with even Urby playing a good part!

All I've found so far is the Sopcast Tele2 Voetbal one, and it's the same for me. There's a TVAnts one listed, but it's not loading. Still looking for others, but hopefully it gets better as well.

Same problem here. Sopcast just crashed and TV Ants won't load.

Cvitanich out, Leo in. Another injury?

Orange14 · Bericht door **Orange14** » zo okt 26, 2008 3:03 pm

The broadcaster mentioned a hamstring problem before my feed crashed. What else is new!

Tom_ · Bericht door **Tom_** » zo okt 26, 2008 3:12 pm

Definitely hamstring I think.

Gabri's just gone off, but he didn't look injured... anyone know what that was all about?

KJH!

Great news on the goal!!

Looks like all of us who rely on P2P are out of luck today. The SopCast website appears to be down and I tried to send the error message on through to them and that cannot be delivered either. Wonder if all Internet feeds are down in China since TVAnts isn't working either and that's where these hosts are located.

For U.S. viewers, the game is on ESPN360.

Yesterday the myp2p.us website was down, but the .eu version of the site still worked.

Many thanks, just have it up and loaded now. Hope I don't jinx Ajax.

And I can't get mine to load up.

The Tele2 Sopcast link on myp2p.eu appears to be OK now...

Suarez off the rebound! 2-0

Orange14 · Bericht door **Orange14** » zo okt 26, 2008 4:25 pm

2-0, full time. Nice job on defense, another clean sheet. Also, Oleguer and van der Wiel swapped positions which was interesting. Let's hope that this build up continues and that the goals also start coming.

I got a stream on justintv and it was setanta. Was not a perfect picture but ok.and the commentary was 100% better than Thursday on Channel 5

A good win and we could have scored more goals. Leonardo played very well and it was good to see. KJH back scoring again and he could have had 2 more but for fine goalkeeping.

Confidence is now up so is our position in the table. Looks like Cvitanich has injured his hamstring and Gabri is injured but not sure what.

We cannot afford anymore injuries as the only spare defender is Silva and we have no spare forwards , so Alderweireld and Martina should come into the squad.

Turns out that Gabri wasn't injured. It was a tactical substitution. Van Basten wanted a bit more creativity and offensive quality in midfield and decided to bring on Siem de Jong. Van Basten said: "Gabri wasn't bad or anything. I could have replaced Vertonghen or Lindgren instead."

Thanks, I lost the feed when that happened and didn't get one back until just after the 2nd half started. I though de Jong played a decent match and should have had a goal.

Almost the best of all worlds...Clean sheet, Leonardo and De Jong productive, Huntelaar scoring, and Gabri not hurt . Just hope Cvitanich isn't seriously hurt.

Hmm hamstrings can be tricky.

Is that the same thing he was suffering from before?

Nice win against a very good team, plus a PSV defeat and an F-word draw at home...if it were any other season we would be in first place but we are only 5th !!!! what strange season its been so far...Groningen, NAC, AZ and Twente are above us...but we are only three points away from first place...and this one cracks me up...F-Word are tied with Sparta as the third worst team...almost in the relegation zone

what i really like about the team is that we are getting better as the games go by..meanwhile PSV seem to be getting worse....we all know the teams up top will slip sooner or later ( i hope)...Ajax just has to be prepared to take advantage of it.

aveslacker · Bericht door **aveslacker** » ma okt 27, 2008 3:11 pm

I get the sense that this team is slowly coming together, that it is developing it's own purpose and identity as a team. I don't think you could say that an Ajax team has been put together with that in mind since the Adriaanse era.

It's a nice start. Hope it continues.
