Brad Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 It will be interesting to see what Zidane what will do with RM. Frankly, I'm not sure it made sense for him to come back. He left on top and can only go down from here. Perhaps Isco will be restored as he and Solari never got along. He probably has to redo a big portion of the squad. Thank god they didn't hire Mourinho.

Dmitry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Well, the only major player that's not there from his time is CR. I'd love to see how ZZ goes about it. It's all over for them competitively for this season, so he's got nothing to account for for the next 6 months...a lot of wiggle room to restructure the squad. Rashford would be great to snare from ManU. He's got that CR "wholesome player" quality about him...better than Kane, imho. Started reading Fear and Loathing in La Liga. Captivating!

He is a small alien who came from the outter space to tease Real Madrid for our sins... 😀 Definitely, Messi is a Martian. Three incredible plays and it's over. As usual. What a footballer!!! Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 16, 2019 Report Posted April 16, 2019 Another excellent result for Ajax: after beating Real Madrid in the last 32 they knocked out Juventus in the QF tonight, 3-2 aggregate. Quote

Ajax plays the best football I saw in the last years, it deserves at least the final, IMO. Quote

miles65 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 Tottenham Hotspur - Ajax 0-1. Not a brillant match but a win is beter than a loss. Ajax has a busy agenda for the rest of the season. Sunday Dutch FA cup final vs. Willem II. Wednesday the return against Tottenham. Then 2 more league games (May 12th and 15th) for the champiionchip no mistakes allowed. And hopefully CL final June first in Madrid. Quote
Brad Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 In the Champions League there are no style points. It's just wins, wins, wins. I think Ajax has a good chance of making it to Madrid but if they face Barcelona, the blaugrana will have a strong home court advantage. Quote
Dmitry Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Ajax is phenomenal. I had no idea... They've exposed and exploited the weakness of Tottenham - real lack of finishers, other than Son and Kane. Lucas Moura just isn't in the same class. I'm looking forward to watching Ajax in the finals! They are a breath of fresh air! Quote
Brad Posted May 2, 2019 Report Posted May 2, 2019 Liverpool will be hard pressed to overcome Barcelona’s advantage in the next match. Quote
Dmitry Posted May 2, 2019 Report Posted May 2, 2019 He is a phenomenon. Liverpool were unlucky not to score. They deserved a goal. Quote
Brad Posted May 2, 2019 Report Posted May 2, 2019 They played them evenly until that second goal; Messi was in the right place at the right time. I’m sure Liverpool is tired of Spanish teams. Quote
miles65 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Posted May 6, 2019 Today Ajax won the Dutch FA cup. Beating Willem II 4-0. No time to celibrate. Wednesday they got to beat Tottenham for a place in the Champions League final. Quote
Clunky Posted May 6, 2019 Report Posted May 6, 2019 I could weep watching Arsenal these past few weeks. Gripless defence and just not enough attacking intent to make up for goals shipped at the other end. Unai is the right manager but we need a boat load of better players. On current form we don’t deserve CL football next season. Don’t get me wrong it’d be outstanding to win the Europa League but we’d only get humiliated next season by the big boys. rant over......

mjazzg Posted May 6, 2019 Report Posted May 6, 2019 No one seems to be commenting on the biggest football story of the weekend, Reading FC's heroic survival in the Championship. I can't think why it has gone unnoticed amongst all this talk of Ajax, Barcelona, Spurs and Arsenal...😁 Quote
Dmitry Posted May 6, 2019 Report Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Yes, I don't know how that slipped between our fingers.... Today is a feast - Man City vs Leicester. If Man City wins, they are almost the champions! If Leicester wins, they have a shot at the Europa League. Go Vardy! Edited May 6, 2019 by Dmitry Quote
