This is a great result!! If we can do the same at the Bridge, we shoud qualify easily.

Great month overall. Should have had that win against Wolfsburg, but I conceded a late winner, probably a minute after scoring myself. But the win against Chelsea is amazing, they only had 4 shots on target and Jovetic missed a sitter

Well, this had to be expected....

DECEMBER 2015

Ajax

Eredivise


5/12/15 Heracles (H)
1-0
Veerman (33)



13/12/15 VVV (A)
0-0


18/12/15 Feyenoord (A)
0-2


Really poor results, but this is nothing compared to the Champions League


Champions League


8/12/15 Chelsea (A)
0-2

I could do nothing to stop them. Hazard scored early on and Bonucci doubled their lead, even though Bogdan saved a penalty.... the taking of chances was horrible.

which led to me....

View attachment 319726

I wasn't pleased at all.... but the team seemed to have lost it..... they were doing so well and all of a sudden, it just came crashing down..... I'll probably be out of a club job till next season.... there's always the Euros!!

I would've given it to Welbeck but Jones is the main reason we've conceded only seven goals in 15 games.

Again?? I could've sworn Rooney was doing better than him.... and Ronaldo was injured for 3 months!!!



As always, post your comments on the story.

It's now February... and I could be back in the Champions League if I land the Bayern job.

Hopeful.
 
GREAT!!!
I didn't get the Bayern job....but Conte did, which means the Juventus job is free!!

EDIT: Dammit!! Rossi got the job... which means i'm out until next season

Disappointing performance, really... almost everyone underperformed
