Wow, what the hell has happened to Ajax? The loss in Groningen was understandable. The loss at home to Heerenveen not so understandable. Dropping points at home to Heracles is unforgivable. Yesterday's 2-2 draw looks like it will the the final nail in the coffin for Ajax's Landskampioenen hopes. Just when we all thought things were coming together for the boys with 5 straight wins and 19 goals scored, things have completely gone to shit. Ajax has pretty much handed the title to AZ, and now they are in a dogfight just to hold on to the 2nd Champions League spot. Twente plays at home to NAC this weekend, and will be in 2nd place with a win.
I have no idea what to say at this point. They could build monuments to this team's inconsistency. Before the winter break Ajax was in top form...Cvitanich was looking like an UPGRADE from KJH rather than just a replacement, and the signing of Rob Wielaert surely made Ajax's defence nearly impenetrable. Now? Ajax has to come from behind at home to secure one point against perennial whipping boy Heracles. Van Basten has to be frustrated, he just can't seem to get any team to play well and stay focused for more than 3 or 4 games at a time (Euro '08 anyone?). Is this a coaches fault? Damn right it is. There's absolutely no way you can chalk this kind of performance up to a great coaching job on the Heracles sideline or a great performance by that crappy team. Ajax just blew it. And they are about to blow their chance at Champions League football next year. Oh, and Fiorentina is going to murder us.

we shall see...there is still time but it is hard when we lose such quality players every year to the english and spanish leagues. at this point only 2 things to do......BEAT the kakkerlakken and try to beat draw fiorentina away. i will be at both matches. if u hate the f'n feyenoord clap your hands!
any sympathy at all for the kakkerlakken this year? nah...
Well I don't think we can use the excuse that we lose the best players every year. We have invested millions of euro's ( 36), and we have the best attackers of the eredivisie.
The problem is the mentality, and wrong chooses of the coach.
Even our goalkeeper is not in good shape. He doesn't win any points for us in the past 3 games.
With this mentality I'm not even sure we are going to beat those f*ck*ng Kakkerlakken in our home match. They are willing to do everything tp win against us.
SydAjax nice blog you have.

Eredivisie title hopes are gone. Too bad but they have been their own worst enemy. MVB must want to pull the hair out of his head. I read something not too long ago that said the once lauded youth system is in shambles. Perhaps that's part of problem. Losing quality players is no excuse. Every club that's not one of the 10 biggest clubs in Europe loses players.
