Ajax impressed in the first half of Thursday's Conference League match against Atalanta Bergamo but went into the break at 0-0. Oscar Gloukh drew criticism on social media during the opening half.
First-half action
After six minutes, a deflected shot from Lucas Rosa struck the post. Jorthy Mokio then had a goal ruled out because Davy Klaassen was offside.
Gloukh made a run down the left flank in the 11th minute and shot well over in the 22nd. Four minutes later, he shot again despite having little space, his effort was blocked and boos rang out from the stands. In the 32nd minute, Gloukh forced Carnesecchi into a save with a shot.
Supporter criticism
One comment said: "Gloukh is mainly focused on Gloukh again."
Another wrote: "Substitute Gloukh. He has blinkers on and only plays for his own company."
One post read: "Too many wrong decisions from Gloukh, but that's nothing new."
Another said: "Oscar, what an ego, always playing for himself."
Calls for a change
Some supporters called for Abdellah Ouazane to replace Gloukh. Someone wrote: "With so much space, better to bring on Ouazane for Gloukh."
A different view
One person said: "Gloukh is often the scapegoat here, but I think he's an important part of the team. Very intelligent in his link-up play, a strong dribbler and good at holding on to the ball in midfield."
