Posities 1, 2: Champions League

 

[insanicdrunk]

Falling apart! I wonder if we are lucky we got Clement in now as it may be someone they looked at soon.

 

[Traveller]

Can we play them in the Champions League now?

 

[ElCamino]

Ajax in relegation places
Lyon bottom of the league
Schalke in relegation places in the Bundesliga 2

Mental.

 

[A Class Above]

Lyon also bottom of Ligue 1

 

[big_tatties]

So they've got 2 games in hand against bottom and 10th place, which if they win both takes them up to 9th.

 

[ForKingAndCountry]

Bizzare how they have collapsed, maybe there has been circumstances there im not aware of

 

[billywizz]

Schalke are on their knees tbf.

 

[bkerr72]

Play PSV next weekend a couple of their accounts I follow on twitter aren't happy at all with what's going on.

 

[Wazza]

Think they’ve only been out the CL Group stages four times this century. Granted a massive Club but not the powerhouse many think, this is a new low obviously though.

They lost against the bottom team this weekend.

 

[Mabearette]

All the talent left after that 2019 season and after Ten Hag left them it went from bad to worse.
Scary how quickly fortunes can change.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

losing Overmars and ten Hag, followed by selling the bulk of their title winning squad that almost made the CL final, then handing the reigns to the German that has went out and burst all their cash.

van der Sar also ended up in hospital with a brain bleed or something.

Total disarray off the pitch as well.

 

[Vinted]

Next 2 games are Brighton in Brighton and PSV in Eindhoven. If they lose against PSV and Volendam win then they will be bottom.

 

[Rangerista]

Excelsior are above Sparta, that's the biggest shock!

 

[ssblue]

Today's game was almost abandoned after 88 mins due to Ajax fans throwing missiles at 3-3.

Game restarted and Utrecht scored a winner.

 

[Cooper11]

All Bassey's fault...

 

[ronadamus_prime]

What we thinking, van Gaal? They need a firm hand and a bit of structure. Usually the big Dutch teams circle the wagons in times of crisis.

 

[D11FYY]

All Bassey's fault...

Exactly, love this.

He was their scape goat for last season. Glad the big man’s out of there. Hoping he settles into Fulham and next season he will be back showing what he’s good at.

When you look at that Ajax team it’s the lowest value it’s been worth I’m guessing in 10 years. The Georgian boy upfront a do believe will come good but may take time to bed in, I think it’s their midfield that’s their downfall majorly this season.

With the money in the bank they have wouldn’t be surprised if they go mad in Jan

 

[Shengus Malengus]

So they've got 2 games in hand against bottom and 10th place, which if they win both takes them up to 9th.

Aye, that'll have their fans jizzing in their trolleys.

 

[Vinted]

I think van Gaal is sick so I doubt he will come in as manager but probably advisor.

They've let Daley Blind and Dusan Tadic walk out the door for nothing in recent seasons. Must be a total shambles behind the scenes.

 

[D11FYY]

They've let Daley Blind and Dusan Tadic walk out the door for nothing in recent seasons. Must be a total shambles behind the scenes.

Yeah was a bit shocked seeing Tadic rock up in Turkey I was guessing it was his wage demands but he’s been a solid performer for years.

Will be interesting to see how they spend their money because they rarely make crazy money signings.

 

[Helstead]

Two months without a win ,they just need to wait a little bit longer and they'll have Ten Haag back after Man U fire him.

 

[tottie beck]

Poor start, but they’re only nine games in. I’m sure they’ll recover and be nowhere near relegation at the end of the season. I guess when your operating model involves constantly selling your best prospects situations like this will happen.

 

[Papasmurf]

When were they last a massive force in Europe?

 

[ElCamino]

What did they squander the Antony / Martinez money on??

 

[Solmask]

[ronadamus_prime]

Over 10 million on Chuba Akpom is fucking madness. I thought they'd got him on a bosman or something

 

[Boldvale]

Scary how quickly fortunes can change.

We are the perfect example. May 2022, final of Europa league, October 2023 we are on our 3rd manager since that day.

 

[Howard Carter]

When were they last a massive force in Europe?

1995.

 

[HamiltonBear]

Bizzare how they have collapsed, maybe there has been circumstances there im not aware of.

They let big Calvin go

 

[Kentbear]

The much lauded "Ajax model" can be binned now unless you want relegated, total mess atm instead of total football.

 

[Big D]

Today's game was almost abandoned after 88 mins due to Ajax fans throwing missiles at 3-3.

Game restarted and Utrecht scored a winner.

Was reading they've had more league games stopped / abandoned because of fan behaviour this season, than they've won.

 

[Rossco]

I wonder who these ex Ajax players will be laying the blame on now that Bassey is not there. Glad he left them and hope he goes on to do well at Fulham

 

[Theblueyin]

That’s mental

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Can we play them in the Champions League now?

Hope not we’d still manage to %^*& it up and I’m sick of the sight of Amsterdam haha

 

[Wazza]

When were they last a massive force in Europe?

Well they didn’t get out the groups
stages for 12 years prior to making the semis in 2019 so it was a good while ago.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Bizzare how they have collapsed, maybe there has been circumstances there im not aware of

At least they can’t blame Big Calvin this time!
He got blamed for everything that went wrong last season, by many a so called ex player - pundit.
Rafael Van Der Art.
For one.
Prick.

Stick to your darts mate!

 

[Bigbluebear]

They have an exceptionally young team this season, and the experienced players aren't exactly the best they have ever had either.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I wonder who these ex Ajax players will be laying the blame on now that Bassey is not there. Glad he left them and hope he goes on to do well at Fulham

Struggling for game time sadly.

 

[Arminius]

He must be pishing himself laughing at what’s going on this season

 

[bkerr72]

What we thinking, van Gaal? They need a firm hand and a bit of structure. Usually the big Dutch teams circle the wagons in times of crisis.

He returned recently in an advisory role for them. The blame seems to be aimed at the sporting director that got sacked recently Van Der Vaart saying yesterday the squad is the problem and not the manager even though the manager asked him to be his assistant and he said no.

 

[giogaddi]

So they've got 2 games in hand against bottom and 10th place, which if they win both takes them up to 9th.

I'm sure their fans are hugely comforted by this.

 

[Stefan Klos]

It’s the one club missing from Advocaat’s CV

 

[archimedes]

It’s the one club missing from Advocaat’s CV

Too close to his Mrs probably.

 

[jaws73]

It’s the one club missing from Advocaat’s CV

You couldn't see it but he'd certainly 'steady the ship'.

 

[Stefan Klos]

You couldn't see it but he'd certainly 'steady the ship'.

Was kind of tongue in cheek given he was at Feyenoord last time I looked.

And starting to look a little past it, it has to be said.

Think he should enjoy his retirement rather than worry about that shitshow

 

[Orangeandblue]

One thing the Dutch excel in is the blame game. Always someone else’s
fault. Everyone has an opinion but let’s see who steps up and tries to sort it out.

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

They’ll end up getting the AZ manager.
