That’s Europe done probably, but that’s the least of our worries. At least during phases it did look like the improvement is continuing.

Akpom is invisible so far like he always is as a 10/second striker but I do like his energy and his interactions with his teammates.

First Akpom for Taylor and now Forbs for Hlynsson so you basically get a midfield with only Vos and Berghuis is really not going to help us to get anything from this game.

My god the space he got there

Maybe move Rensch to right back and get Sosa in, maybe that helps Bergwijn as well. He looked much better when paired with a leftback that overlaps like Martha did.

Van der Vaart and Sneijder did not think Steijn had to go at all, they were constantly saying that he’s a good manager but that the players are the problem. I have never heard either of them say a bad word about Steijn.

I’d rather look at what people with actual tactical knowledge have to say like Suley or Pieter Zwart instead of the populistic nonsense that comes out of Van der Vaart and Sneijder.

2 teams at the same time can be one of the best of all time. It’s not a direct comparison but look at Barca and Madrid during the 2010’s for example. They were a very influential team in football history, just like Sacchi’s Milan.

Maybe not but I’d be against boxers or MMA fighters betting on themselves as well. Betting on yourself is also different than betting on a match you’re not involved in, but I think it’s easier to just have a blanket ban on betting instead of all kinds of exceptions.

It’s also not like you’re depriving a player of something meaningful if you don’t allow them to bet. I don’t see the upside of allowing it, only downsides.

He didn’t win 1 La Liga title, he won 4 in a row and a Europa Cup 1.

I was thinking about it, and this is the first crisis Ajax is in since Cruijff passed away. It’s a sad thought that he isn’t there anymore to step in.

The success we had in recent years was for a decent part the result of the last time Cruijff stepped in and restructured the club.
