Ajax

A good month 3 wins in all competitions but did we get through to the champions league knock outs ?



The first game of the month was a league game away at Ado Den Haag we played very well in a potentially tricky match Burdisso gave us the lead of the corner just before half time and shortly after half time Agirrexte got his usual goal to seal the points !

Next was our champions league game as we played Helsingborg I always believed we would win and we did in style we were 3-0 up after just 23 minutes Eriksen getting the 1st and 3rd as there defence just gave him too much room and Simao got his first ever goal for Ajax as well sandwiched in between the 2 Eriksen goals. Our 4th was a Agirrexte header just before half time. Only 1 more goal followed in the 2nd half an Andy Carroll pen he just squeezed it in past the keeper. But was it enough to get through ? We will find out in a min !

And then in the cup we won again Andy Carroll scoring an early penalty an Fischer gave us a 2 goal lead coming of the bench to score they did get a late goal with 4 minutes to go !



Still top which is good by 6 points although PSV have a game in hand.



AHHH Schalke got a 78th minute winner against Inter am hoping for a good Europa League run now.





We lost in the 1/4 final in this fixture last season.



Here are my new signings all they all joined on the 1st January.

Well done mate, you look pretty comfortable in the league !

thanks mate yeah we do shame about the champions league though

Disappointing month we lost our long unbeaten league run and we are out in the Dutch cup both our losses came against our bogey team FC Groningen.



The first game of the month started off well enough Fischer did well and crossed for Agirrexte to score but then before half time Burdisso was sent off and that killed us really so they scored 2 goals just before and just after the hour mark.

Then we had 3 friendlies 2 were comfortable wins especially the 10-0 win !! But we did lose to PSV but fortunately it was just a Friendly.

Next we won against 3rd placed Vitesse we needed this win to widen the gap from them to us and PSV we didn't have our best defender Burdisso in this game which is a reason we conceded 2 goals but anyway inside 25 minutes we were 2-1 up Agirrexte scoring both our goals he scores almost every game !! But they got one back off a free kick but a great pass by Eriksen set up Sigborssen to score just before half time. In the second half Wilfred Bony did get one back for them with 20 minutes left but we held on !

This was a tough month and now we had Heerenveen away Burdisso back from suspension headed us into another early lead and this time we didn't concede our 2nd goal was comical they passed it straight to Sigborssen and we ran through 1 on 1 and he smashed in the finish.

But we are out of the cup in this game I am surprised we didn't score we usually do but we were very poor and a bad defensive error by Milosevic happened for their goal and we are out of the cup I never seem to do well in the Dutch cup I don't know what it is and also Groningen have beaten us away again.



Us and PSV are now level on points at the top and we already have a big gap over the rest !



I have terminated his loan contract as we have plenty of strikers now !



35 league games we were unbeaten.

The transfer deadline has gone and I have signed these two and got rid of a few on loan too.

I am very pleased with N'Diaye his work rate is exceptional.

Still going strong, can you post a team strenght overview. Its hard to keep track with all the transfer going in and out.

A good month really because we bettered PSV's Results and a huge win over PSV if they had of beaten us they would have gone 6 points clear but now we are Also good to get through in the Europa League !



The first game of the month was a very disappointing one we dominated the first half but they scored in first half stoppage time and that put us on the back foot and we didn't get going till the last 10 minutes when we really should have nicked a point but Fetfatzidis missed a sitter late on.

Next was the huge game against PSV we took the lead after there defenders and goalkeeper had a mix up and my young 18 year old Brazilian striker Itamar stared off a great goalscoring month by tapping in it looked like we might hold out as neither team were really doing much going forward but Tim Matavz scored again against us he always does but in the 6th minute of stoppage time an Eriksen corner was flicked on by Burdisso then Milosevic and Itamar scored from close range to send our fans and me into raptures !

Then we hammered Feyenoord we were 3-0 up at half time as 3 goals in 10 minutes really won it for us when Itamar's shot was saved Souare nodded in and then Eriksen passed it in when 1 on 1 which was our 2nd and then Itamar stole the show again with another brace !

We should have won this game away at Roda JC much more comfortably as they only had 1 shot in the whole game which was their goal anyway we took the lead De Sciglio headed in for us off a Eriksen corner but with 18 mins to go they scored Adan dropped a corner and they reacted first to put it in but not long after N'Diaye smashed a long range effort in his first ever goal for the club

It was top against bottom after that they took a surprise early lead but we were soon back level through Itamar but we couldn't shake them off as they then went ahead again but we were back level before half time Sigborssen scoring and after half time we went ahead Itamar scored again another brace this month ! And Sigborssen finished it off just before the end.

Then we had the last 32 Europa League game 1st leg away at Bordeaux we really should have won by more than 1 as we missed loads of chances especially Agirrexte who's goals have dried up recently but we did get one an excellent strike by Eriksen !

Then we really should have beaten AZ we went into a 2-0 lead Sigborssen getting both and they were both set up Itamar but by 80 minutes it was 2-2 Alitdore scoring straight after our 2nd and they also scored a penalty after Gueye fouled there striker but PSV lost at home to FC Utrecht 2-0 so it extended our lead at the top.

But we got back to winning ways after beating Bordeaux at home in the 2nd leg a good finish by Itamar gave us the lead a real breakthrough month for him this all coming after those goals against PSV and we were 2 up at half time Sigborssen again these 2 are creating a great partnership up front I took off our main attacking players towards the end so the game petered out but we are in the next round !!

Thanks mate glad for the comment and yes I can I know it is will put them up after every transfer window from now on !

Here is the team report
