Ajax are now bottom of the Eredivisie after losing their fifth consecutive league game.
They have never lost that many in their entire history.

Their youth team is also bottom of the Eerste Divisie, the Dutch 2nd tier.
No club has ever been bottom of both.

what’s happened to them? Any reason for it?

Brought in a poor manager and lost a number of their better players.
They did actually spend decent money replacing them, but it hasn't worked out.
I'm sure they'll pick up when they replace Steijn, but they've had a shocking start.

I’ve just had a look at their starting line up in the defeat today at PSV, and Bergwijn is the only player I’ve heard of!

Yeah, they lost Grillitsch, Timber, Tadic, Bassey, Alvarez, Kudus and Klaasen.
Their goalkeeper's also injured, so they've got an inexperienced backup in goal.
Lots of youngsters and it's finally costing them.

Not watching it, but replacing Amrabat with Mount probably didn't help.
Eriksen and Evans haven't got the legs to play the roles they're in any more, either.

He was crap to be fair and booked.

Though everyone’s looking crap under ten Hag. Utd are massively reminding me of us under Conte, you can tell no one on that pitch is really playing for the manager anymore. Unsurprisingly too, bloke doesn’t seem to have a clue.

Even the subs looked as though they didn't want to come on.

The current top 5 are averaging 2+ pts per game
with 10 games gone. Will be interesting to see if
that is the case come the halfway point.
 
Whilst I understand that no should take losing well, is Bruno Fernandes the worst loser currently playing, it a good job he can't time a tackle because some of his hacks late in the game were terrible. Its a shame that the one Stones saw coming didn't injure him a bit more.

Man City didn't get any penalties at Old Trafford when he was there, either.
 
Only 10 games into the season, and there’s already a 5 point gap between 5th and 6th.

my thoughts over the summer was that our lack of European football could give us a huge advantage, so it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out with the likes of Newcastle, United and Brighton chasing the current pack. Obviously there’s a long way to go, but those teams are not gonna want to see the top 5 pulling away over the next set of 10 games.

At the other end of the table, it’s really not looking good for the bottom 3 is it? I don’t see where their points will come from based on their starts to the season, and what we’ve seen so far. Who will twist first and sack the manager?
