Ajax vs Celtic, Europa League Group A Match 1, 17/09/15

Just checked Schone, 22 caps for Denmark at 29... *?

 

Must be brilliant having that type of system in place, no need for marquee signings, the next big thing is coming through at 18/19/20 from the academy.

 

What we should be aiming for.

Where's our next big thing?

 

Dudu Dahan hasn't told us yet mate.

 

Ajax were good - no doubt about it.
I thought we looked more likely to score before Izzy went off though.

Would love to see a real playmaker at Celtic though - as in some of the Ajax players mentioned above.

It would be brilliant to have the new Lubbo.

 

it was mentioned in the highlights programme tonight why was our defenders standing on the six yard box nearly on top of gordon. the defenders should have stood near the penalty spot so the keeper could have a better chance to deal with it and if you look at the aberdeen free kick the defence did the same .

 

It's exactly how they played against us at Celtic park last time.

Ajax sit 1st in the everdinese we get a well deserved draw and would have won if we had 11 men... Man united beaten off 4th place psv and we get * all praise as per usual!!! Rags focusing on negative * as per

 

Any highlights?

 

More than likely we would have got a third

 

Before a ball was kicked I would have bit the hand of for a score draw result.

Obviously it's only one game in but Molde winning away at Fenerbache and us getting a draw has shown that our group will be very tight.

Strange feeling after this one. Before the game I would have been happy enough with a spirited performance despite defeat.
I always felt Ajax would score again, or that we would concede, we always look like we could concede at any time against any team.
Even at 2-1, I said I'd still be happy with a 2-2 draw. Then after Izzy went off, I was sure they'd nick it 3-2. Those last 20 mins felt like a week in prison.

Still gutted we didn't win but looking back on it, it's a point gained.

This time last year we got a draw in Salzberg against all expectations. We were also in a bit of turmoil as a group at that stage too, but that result seemed to give the boys confidence and they grew as a team from there.
Let's hope for more of the same from here on in.

 

Looked a soft penalty. Hard to really judge either team, but we definitely shouldn't be scared about Fener on this evidence. We'll beat them at CP.

Be interesting to see if that was a freak result or Molde kick on.

 

Makes the group interesting now everyone thought Molde Would get beat.

We shouldn't be scared of anyone in Europe.

 

I cant believe the score Molde got over there, although that penalty award was a weird one!

Van Persie and Nani must be wondering what they have let themselves in for, although i have no sympathy.

This group could turn out any way at all really, but we are definitely favourites now id say.
