And Promes off some good work by Dest (I think it was - watching on phone at the moment) on the flank - "MLS assist."
The lightbulbs sneak one through. Dest a bit lax on the defense high up but not really anything on him. TBF pretty good move from PSV.
Ends 1-1. Not a game anyone is going to want to hang in the Rembrandt Museum (pretty scrappy/crappy really), but decent result for Ajax and Dest never looked out of place. Not a star-maker performance, but did himself no harm at all.
Dest's "MLS Assist" Dest plays the pass to Tadic, who sets up Promes for the goal to put Ajax up 1-0 over PSV. https://t.co/lL4Ljzyius— scuffed (@scuffedpod) September 22, 2019
Honestly, they both looked pretty ragged - I think it was just the number of games (including internationals) plus the pressure of an early "top of the table" derby. Very little good footie on show today. Lots of falling at the slightest touch, too-hard tackles and unforced errors. Keeps the Ered interesting for the immediate future. Still a lot of horses in the race... but, of course, it's not even Oct yet. Who scored gave Dest among the lowest rating on the field, but rated Onana the lowest - and his save off the PSV FK was probably the best single moment of the match outside the goals, so who knows what they measure.
Quite right about Onana and I thought Dest had a nice game. The pass to Tadic that set up the goal was great and Dest was fast down the flank all day. Tagliafico really had trouble defending almost all game, he was much worse than Dest in that regard. Ziyech and Neres were both poor.
Yeah, not Tagliafico's best game, though he seemed to drop deeper into D more than Dest - perhaps PSV was pressing/defending his side harder - since he's been so hot, or Ten Hag thought Ajax would have more success on the right. Dest was tidy on the ball and ok in D. Give Dest a net + going forward, a neutral on D.
