First Half in Amsterdam

Well it's my favourite match of the preseason every year. My two favourite clubs pitted against each other. It's been a dissapointing first half from what is likely to be our opening day lineup. Ajax are up 2-0 after two stunning half volleys in two minutes from Suarez and Huntelaar. Both of them were fantastic. I reccomend to those who weren't able to view the game to check the strikes out later, because they were absolutely wonderful. Great technial ability from both players. Suarez's came inside the box after Kolo Toure's failed clearance and Huntelaar's from the 18 after it was chested back by Gabri I believe. Suarez has been dangerous all game and really made Clichy look poor so far.  Eboue's been absolute dire shite on the wing as has Adebayor who has missed two guilt edge chances. One was a one on one with the keeper and the second should have been a tap in on a revound at the six yard mark. It was very, very poor. V. Persie and Walcott have looked dangerous and Fabregas has been decent in his first preseason appearance including a fantastic strike from distance. Denilson hasn't been bad, either. Really was an even game until the goals came around ten minutes from half.

Right so, I'll be back to report on the second half.
