No-one predicted 4-3 for Man U- Real? We must be losing our touch!

[Kropotkin]

It was a while since a football match on TV as exciting as Milan - Ajax. A real thriller. Too bad that Ajax again wasn't able to put up a serious attack. But I guess that's not that strange considering the opponents though.

What suprises me consdering their manager is that hardly anyone in Ajax has anything close to a decent shoot. Chivu perhaps but one can't use him in every attack. With someone in midfield with a real cannon the defenders of the other team would have to move up their defences a bit, leavning room for the technical players of Ajax.
