The Schreuder Era Starts and Ends: 2022-23 Ajax Season

This is what Ajax is all about. Youth players moving to the first team:

Correct. Partial ligament tear but I've not seen anything about how long he will be out.

 

More strangeness from the Ihattaren front. His Porche went up in flames the other day about two weeks after his brother's car burned up. Arson is suspected in both cases. He also just got married to an aspiring Tik Tok influencer. I think his career at Ajax is over now and the club just should move on. I think the only way he revives his career is getting out of the country and away from all the bad influences. He'll go back to Juventus in January and who knows whether they will want to continue investing in him.

 

Sadly you are likely correct.

 

Ajax women are playing Arsenal in the CL right now. It was a 2-2 draw in London and it is 0-0 at the half. Ajax have some very good young players on their team. Hope they can snatch a goal in the 2nd half.

 

Ajax women lost 0-1 with Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema getting the match winner.

 

Frustrated for the 2nd year in a row to Go Ahead Eagles with Ajax conceding a goal on a quick counter attack in the second half. I'm convinced that this team has to have a two goal lead for any match to be considered safe. Ajax had 75% of the possession and 23 shots. GAE had three shots with one on goal and that was the one that mattered. Maybe it's a case of Ajax getting too lackadaisical when they have deep possession and then making silly mistakes. Ajax now stand 2nd a point behind AZ who easily dispatched Groningen. Schreuder did rotate the team today which was good to see.

Player Ratings:

Pasveer (6.5) - got a hand on the shot that evened the game but not enough to keep it out
Blind (6.5) - spent most of the match in the offensive half
Bassey (6.5) - decent enough match
Timber (6.5) - had a couple of good runs into the offensive zone, had little defending to do
Rensch (5.5) - still not up to Mazroui
Grillitch (6) - Ok 60 minutes of football
Taylor (6.5) - had a good match constantly moving into the open spaces
Klaassen (6) - made one good run for the goal that opened the scoring and that was it
Ocampos (6) - had a couple of shots on goal but one missed the target and the other one was blocked
Brobbey (6) - good hold up play and was called for a bizarre foul when he was pulled down
Tadic (6) - no magic from the Captain
Alvarez (6) - on for the last half hour and had several nice passes
Bergwijn (5.5) - could not manufacture a shot on goal
Berghuis (NR) - on late when Ajax were chasing a goal
Kudus (NR) - same as Berghuis
Lucca (NR) - same as Bergwijn

With this type of rotation I still am baffled why Tadic plays a full 90 minutes. Champions League match against Napoli on Tuesday which I will unfortunately miss seeing live. Napoli are playing well and are either first or second in the Italian league depending on what Atalanta do tomorrow. I have no expectation of an Ajax win given their current state of play.

 

Hey, it's the Eredivisie. Any team can win or draw regardless of the opponent. This is the way it's supposed to be.

 

Quite right, too bad he cannot defend!!! He had over 190 passes on Friday in the Jong Ajax match.

 

He is a CB and not FB so it's a bit different.
