What really happened to Ajax Amsterdam? Like I have never seen Ajax flop to this extent for a very long time now, is it that they sold their key players that have been performing well for them over the years or is it that they are financially unstable? Like what really changed their game play this season because I can't believe that a strong club like Ajax in Netherlands's Eredivisie will experience this kind of loss at an early stage like this in their season. Well, whatever that may be going wrong in the club, i pray they recover soon though the league is still young as anything can still be possible i just wish they can still bounce back to their impressive form.

We will see  the situation of a team like ajax. It was completely  unexpected as well as sad. Ajax is a big team of Eredivisie league. Last  season we did not see the expected performance  from ajax. But this season  Ajax's position is at the bottom of the  points table. Out of 8 matches  the team won only one. in the match They have  lost each of their last 5 matches. I don't know why Ajax has  suddenly deteriorated like that. The coach  should change his match strategy. I don't think  this team is weak. They have the ability to perform well. Players must be confident. And the coach has to bring changes in the match  strategy. And Ajax's defense in particular must be strengthened. If the defense is  not strong, we will not see a good  performance from Ajax in the  upcoming matches.

This is a table result that I would have never expected, ever. Ajax isn't only having a hard time, but they are getting destroyed. They are conceding over 2.5 goals per game and it could only get worse now after they lost their game against Utrecht last week. That game was so alarming because it really made clear that Ajax isn't struggling a bit and will soon be back in business. This is now looking so dangerous for them that it is only about not getting relegated and nothing else. Every game that they don't win now is another punch in their face. Losing against PSV doesn't matter because most other teams will lose that game against them as well and Ajax isn't playing for the title anyway.

well, the games in this round had results that left me a little surprised, AZ's game against NEC was suspended because the player Bas Dost fell on the field and was unconscious, and it's something very sad to see a scenario like that, it just shows that even though football is one of the few sports with fewer accidents of this type, it is still not impossible for those types of things not to happen. I wish Bas Dost a full recovery and good health. well, with this game suspended my bet was cancelled. Another game that shocked me was Twente's game against Feyenoord, I confess that I expected more from Feyenoord but they lost in this game, Feyenoord came into this game with a streak of 4 games without losing, which gave me some confidence that they could win of this game with victory

It is true that Twente is also performing well this season to the point that in the last 4 games they have achieved 3 wins and 1 draw and are currently in the top positions. But even so, I saw Feyenoord with a chance of winning this game, anyway, with this defeat, Twente is in position number 3. And finally, another result that surprised me was the number of goals that Ajax conceded, it was obvious that Ajax would lose the game against PSV, but conceding 5 goals and having a very humiliating defeat, I believe that no one expected to see that happen and unfortunately every Ajax fan must have left the field disappointed, mainly because Ajax is currently in last place.



 

AZ Alkmar is down 0:2 against Nijmegen at home. Unexpected, but difficult to comment something about game without watching it. In other game Twente won vs Feyenoord 2:1. Twente had very solid 1st half, in 2nd Feyenoord tried to take over initiative, but that wasn't enough to achieve positive result.

Damn, everything started so good for Ajax, their 1st half was probably best what we saw from them this season so far. But what happened in 2nd half, it was a bit sad to watch Ajax players getting beaten like kids
This game was interrupted, but not for fans behaviour as usual in Eredivisie, but one spectator had health problems. As I understand, he is OK now.

It's really sad how Ajax continually get worse by every game, for a team who were so good last season and other seasons, it's expected they wouldn't get this bad just so soon but then sadly it's the reality, I taught for once today they were going to win after leading in the first half by a goal, I was even about to conclude that the birth of their improvement may come after this game.

They did prove me wrong by the second half where they were unable to secure a single goal allowing PSV to dominate all through and brutally wining them with four goals in the second half, just when I taught the first half would have the most of goals then PSV showed me otherwise, it was as if PSV took on the spirit of Bayern Munich yesterday in the bundesliga, although PSV was at home but then it was an humiliating loss to Ajax. I just hope they stay out of relegation this season.

No way man, this cant be true, Ajax keep goind deep in the rabbit hole, now not only being in the last position of a very weak league, also losing and being humillated by PSV in the derby from 1-2 to losing it in only 15 minutes 5-2, its gonna be really hard time in Ajax lockers i think.

I was just having a discussion today about the game Feyenoord Rotterdam against Lazio Roma and I said that I believe Feyenoord is going to win it because they also have this incredible record in the Eredivise and there is no way they don't score at least two goals in that game because this is just the situation they are in, they do score goals as if there was no tomorrow. The answer was that the Eredivisie is a weak league and that is the reason why Feyenoord is performing well in the league, but will lose the game against Lazio. I said that the first three teams in the Eredivisie right now should not be taken lightly by any opponent and definitely not taken lightly when they play away from home against Feyenoord. There it is, a very strong 3-1 win and a big chance to finish top 2.

I think it was a decision taken too late. For the first time in the league I have seen such a bad Ajax team and they are at the bottom of the league with one win.
The manager Steijn may be a good or bad manager, but we have seen that he has not been able to make things work with Ajax and he will try his luck with another team from now on. Especially after selling their star players one by one, Ajax will try to do their best to recover with a new manager.

Man is incredible to see how bad they are, seems like they are in a competition with Lyon to see who is the worst one. I cant believe how two HUGE teams can be so bad from one season to another having really good teams.

I hope to start to see Ajax coming back.

After losing the game against Utrecht and finishing second last in the table, the club finally took action and fired the coach. John van't Schip is being considered as the successor, and the coach is said to have a high standing and be popular with the fans?

I think this is the worst season ever for Ajax this year.

Ajax Amsterdam trennt sich von Trainer Steijn

A nightmare start to the season for Ajax. They lost 4-3 to Utrecht in the last match, and these defeats make Ajax seem very far from the old, strong and fearful Ajax team. Their next match is against their arch-rivals PSV, and PSV is leading the league with 9/9 wins. The favorite in this match is of course PSV.

Recording losing streaks in league games and they still have competitive opponents to face this season. For the season, crucial defeats have been the order of the day for de Godenzonen. It's not a good start for them. This devastating circumstances in which Ajax found themselves happens to all elite teams over the course of season; perhaps every team has a season where they tend to record poor performance but actually bounce back to good form, but in the case of Ajax, I believe it will take a long time for them to realize themselves and retest back to their former glory. They're 17th in the Eredivisie league, virtually in the relegation zone, an enormous punch in the face for such a prestigious club. The board has fired the existing coach, Maurice Steijn, and has temporarily replaced him with Hedwiges Maduro.

Brighton in two days time can be well managed.  Whoever in charge will be pressured to win

Ajax won't be rock bottom when they go all out to face League leaders PSV. So far so good, Ahax has taken the decision best for the interest of the club and the fans. They have just parted ways with their coach. So many coaches jobless now, who will get to it first.

Brighton are not so hard to beat only if you control the game better than they do. They have a tactical coach.

after lose from Utrecht, Ajax is playing PSV, can't be harder for them
but Volendam, that is currently rock-bottom, is playing Excelsior, and in case they win, and Ajax don't win over PSV that has all wins so far, Ajax will be rock bottom in Ere, what a feat to make

if that happens, it will probably mark decision moment for them, can't get worst than that

but first Europa league for them, against Brighton, and they are solid there, two draws so far

Yes but if I was a dreamer with a lot of fantasy, I still can't come up with a dream that has Ajax Amsterdam start a catch-up run and make up for this horrific start of the season. I remember some really wild turn of events when teams were able to find back to their old strength and win like 10 games in a row, but this would still not be enough to be in touch with the top of the table again. Ajax Amsterdam has 2 games in reserve and if they win them both, they are at 11 points and PSV is at 27 points. If Ajax were to win 10 games in a a row, PSV would have to lose 5 of those 10 games and have one draw and then they would be equal in points, but that's not going to happen as all three PSV, AZ and Feyenoord are performing like monsters.

Top three teams are without any defeat in their first 9 games which is impressive and most chances as they are widening gape no other team could be challenge them for the these spots Twente losing his ground but still having some chance for the staying at this spot but right now miserable Ajax is talk of the soccer community as after playing seven games they are at the bottom of Eredivisie table just one win and four defeats are clearly indicating how things are going for them in this season.

They still have chance for the jump but this need some improvement and good motivation which will allow them to have better performance and bounce back from this situation in coming weeks they have no easy time but most chances we can expect good chance in November which will bring good chance for them to improve their rank and performance as well.

This is the first time in a long time that Ajax are so far away from the title race.They need to find the reason for this as soon as possible or things will get worse for them. It doesn't make sense for Ajax to suffer their 4th defeat while their rivals continue undefeated.In the Utrecht match, I expected them to win, but we saw that they didn't play very well in the match.As you said as a team, it seems difficult for them to be among the top 10 teams at this rate.The management should take tough decisions and maybe call everyone in the team to a meeting and ask what is going on.

In fact, they managed to turn the match around when they were down 2-0. Although they scored 3 goals in about 13 minutes and went 3-2 ahead, they could not protect the score and lost 4-3. Interestingly, the fact that they could not protect the score in the match in which they were ahead shows that there are big problems.

Ajax surely having terrible time with now things are going more bad with as mentioned games against Brighton and PSV could be bringing more poor results with they have to stay at bottom for few more weeks and things are surely had not shortcut for them to improve and have positive results which bring them out of this jail in quick time.

Today as they have three quick goals I was expecting good chance, but suddenly we have no goals which kill all positive hopes for this legendary club but still I was able to secure my bet for the over3.5 because I was expecting rain of goals which happen in this match after this I also secure next with Twente over because on road their performance is not good so instead going for ML I try with over which also work and give me good profit in today business.

Damn, Ajax is hitting new bottom with every game they play. And loss against Utrecht probably can't be even called as surprise. Ajax didn't had any advantage today and when you concede 4th goal and lose game on 90th minute, that hurts even more. Next week they have EL game with Brighton and then away vs PSV and there is any good signs for them before these games.
Twente burned my bet. I already thought it will be easy after they got 2:0 lead, but in 2nd half Heracles made a comeback and took 2:2 draw.
