Group D Preliminary Team Rosters

Re: Respuesta: Re: Group D Preliminary Team Rosters

This proves I can't watch everything everywhere... I watched a couple of games with Ajax, mainly in the Europa League and he started in almost all of those (if not all). He wasn't stand-out, but he did do a decent job. I hardly watch any dutch league games, unless I want to watch a particular player.

BTW Why was Sulejmani a regular in the UEFA Cup, but hardly started in the Eredivisie? Doesn't make much sense to me... why did Ajax play substitutes in the competition that is more important?

Because they were battling hard with Twente and PSV for the title and the cup. It came down to the last day of the season and Twente beat them by a point. And it's not a matter of playing subs in the Europa League... some starters played as well.

It's just that the trio of Suarez, Pantelic, and Eriksen have been better than Miki this season. (miki is the nickname we use for Sulejmani) He has shown glimmers this season, for example his goal versus Juventus, but he isn't consistent enough. Plus when Ajax turned the corner they started playing really well (106 goals! in 34 league games).. I wonder where he will go or if he will try and stay and prove himself. I think he will get more playing time after Suarez leaves probably. We still have very, very high hopes for him. It's just that he needs some confidence.

As for the Serbian national teams these are the 24:

GK: Stojkovic, Isailovic, Brkic, Djuricic

D: Vidic, Ivanovic, Obradovic, Kolarov, Subotic, Rukavina, Lukovic

M: Kuzmanovic, Stankovic, Petrovic, Kacar, Tosic, Jovanovic, Krasic, Ninkovic

F: Zigic, Pantelic, Mrdja, Lazovic

I think Djuricic or Isailovic will be cut out of the goalkeepers and that will be that.
