We proved to be a much better side than Celtic yesterday.
Great goal. Above all great tactics.
Frank De Boer is a genius !

Frank De Boer: “We did everything we could. Even at the end, with Sigthórsson and Van der Hoorn. But the ball simply wouldn’t go in. I don’t know how many passes from the sidelines came, but we just came up short each time. But I’m proud of the team. I think we showed that as Ajax, we don’t need to bow down to anyone. We could just as well have been among the 16 clubs who will play Champions League after the winter break.”

I have to say I feel ashamed by the way Ajax were treated by French authorities. Anyway, van der Wiel's tackle on Boilesen was outrageous, first goal for PSG was way off side.

Thank you Philippe!

Did you liked how Ajax played?

Yes, Ajax played well IMO. More possession, fast pace.
But we did not create many chances.
I really think the first goal off-side. And v.d.Wiel's challenge on Boilesen was outrageous.

No, was onside, helas.
Yeah, a really stupid tackle.
Nice picture, Phillipe!

Are the reports about AJAX in France positive?

Yes, in France game reports, in the papers and on TV, were very positive about the way Ajax played.

Hi!
Ajax won the match against Legia but several doubts arise whether the team is just trying to go as far as they can.

Will Ajax win the UEFA Europa League this year?
IMHO, the team needs to show attitude, passion and self-confidence, and of course good football and effectiveness.
There's no big names in the club like Barcelona, we know, and players are young but Atletico de Madrid shows a way to play with passion and attitude that can open the path to the championship.
I think Frank should work on the force and attitude of some players, eg ElGazhi and Kishna some times shows several doubts while in a match, it seems to me that they need a lesson from Jaap Stam (on attitude and personality).
I like Milik and Sightorson, Klaassen and Schöne are playing smart, the defense line can be better (it's good) but in general the team needs to show more hungry to win the Europa League (one of the relevant championships worldwide, seen worlwide too).

Just me humble opinion after the match.

Do you agree with me? I'm wrong?

No, absolutely not. AJAX is too young of a team. Compared to the previous years even younger.
Of course, but even Atletico can pay much more salary even tough they are drowning in debt.
Our midfield is talented, but they are teenagers.
Well, Sigthorsson and Schone are history for sure after this season. They are lacking in quality.
AJAX will have to invest in the defence and in routine.

This team needs à Rijkaard, then we're there.

* I agree with your main point, the team is too young but it is an excuse?
An excuse to relax?, hey we're young so we can't do anything?

* I agree with the investment idea, but in the forefront too.

So, which place for Ajax in the Europa League this year?
* I'm expecting a third place (at least), i'm so ambitious

* I agree, the team needs one or more great players like Rijkaard or Marco van Basten...but i think Frank de Boer should state more clear objectives than "go as far as we can". or not?

IT is not just big players, iT is a big player, really a Rijkaard type, a leader, in the late days of his carreer, but a topplayer.
We mis pure leadership now in the field, thats all.

* Many of the teams in the EuropaLeague are good, or average but I see your point... and I agree. Sometimes some players gets lost on the field "maybe" because of this lack of a top player(s)...
I think Frank should plan to win the EuropaLeague, maybe not this year but the next one.


Regards !

Europa league is over.
We lost because all our players played below par yesterday, except Cillessen, Sinkgraven, and Klaassen. Because we did not play with the right attitude, defenders endlessly passing the ball to defenders in our own half. Because there is no stability in the team, basis changing every now and then. Because our strikers were miserable : Kishna missing the ball on El Ghazi's cross, Milik firing wide from close range ...
There are many to be blamed for this season, not only Boilesen (Overmars, Frank, Schöne, Sigthorsson, Kishna, Zimling, ....).
Keep in mind that we lost all chances in the title race when Boilesen was injuried and did not play.

_________________

Overmars and De Boer are to blame for Zimling and bringing Siggy also.
Boilesen and Van Rhijn are this season the weakest links by far.

The team is alright. It's very young and did alright, i think, but with these two fullbacks it is fighting a lost battle almost every time.
