Last group game in the Europa League!

If we lose, Anderlecht leapfrog us to win the group.

So let's grab one point at least.

I'm torn - I'd love to see us start like ten or eleven youth academy players, but I would also like to see us win the group. It would be awesome if we could do both.

[Blind3]

I'll settle for a win and Christian Eriksen gets his first European night appearance.

I couldn't agree more. Seeing alot of academy players would be really nice, althought securing the #1 would be nice too. If we could do both, that would make my weekend.

One thing's for sure: it's gonna a cold-ass evening. One of those really cold European nights at the ArenA. I love 'em. One of my favourites was Ajax vs AS Roma in late 2002. The Italian fans were freezing to death in the streets of Amsterdam, while we were getting pissed at the pub and oh yeah, we hammered them (2-1, but we really were ten times better) and eventually knocked them out of the Champions League.

Yeah, I remember that game. My countryman Zlatan scored 1-0 and my favorite player Litmanen scored the 2-0 goal if I remember correctly. I was so happy after that game :)

Exactly. Zlatan's goal was a silly one: the keeper dropped the ball and all Zlatan had to do was tap it into the net. Jari's goal was absolutely stunning. Unforgettable. From the edge of the box he 'lifted' the ball into the far top corner. From behind the goal you could beautifully see it coming.

*Sigh*

Yeah, wish I could have seen it live :( I still haven't seen an Ajax game Live, and it sucks. My girlfriend's family is from Holland though, so I will be making alot of trips down there, so my chances of actually seeing a live game has increased alot :)

[Jari Litmanen]

Anyone know of a good stream for this game? I haven't found any good one. In fact, does anyone know a good site that streams most Ajax matches?

[Amol]

Lineups -

Stekelenburg

Vd Wiel
Oleguer
Vertonghen
Anita

Donald
Enoh
De Jong

Sulejmani
Pantelic
Emanuelson

Finally Jol is resting a few players. Suarez, Alderweireld and De Zeeuw starting on the bench. Would've liked to see more youth players on the bench. Oh well.

[Van basten]

Maybe now we'll start to play

[Amol]

Great start - we're down 0-1 already in the 13th minute

[Amol]

Great start - we're down 0-1 already in the 13th minute

0-2 in the 22nd minute.

[orange goblin]

come on guys, it's a joke

[Jari Litmanen]

That 0-3 goal was humiliating. What's with us today? I bet a Jupiler League team would play better than this :/


edit: Martin looked less than happy, and he should. This was lousy.

[Ajaxfanuk]

F**king hell, glad this match isnt important...still shocking

[Blind3]

Absolutely disgraceful !! First in the group at stake and the club fails to show up. Ajax ROT OP !!!!

[Van basten]

Just can't find the words.. Pathetic or disgrace is to light to describe our play in first half. Just fucking ...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Venezuelan Ajacied]

Damn were sucking the big one...now we know why we dont see a lot of Oleguer.....Suarez on for the second half ?

[SPL]

Rubbish. Van Der Wiel may be looking to play in the EPL but the kid still cannot defend.

As for Oleguer I will just ask the question after he played his last game , PSV,why is he wearing an Ajax shirt ??? He is too slow.

[Van basten]

Damn were sucking the big one...now we know why we dont see a lot of Oleguer.....Suarez on for the second half ?

I think he's injured. Question - is this how we'll look, when Suarez leaves?

[Orange14]

Yes, Suarez has a sore knee. Unsure if surgery will be required.

[Jari Litmanen]

Somehow, I don't see how Rommedahl is going to change this game.... :/
