Kristoffer Ajer

[Leonardo]

Looked Norway's best defender by a long way and responsible for the 4th. I wouldn't say a Rolls Royce of a defender more like an Audi. Oh and someone tell Thomas Frank Ayer is really good in a pair of centre backs and not just as part of 3 centre backs.

Was TF doing some tv studio work for this then?

No. But he never player Ajer in a centre back pairing of 2

He also had to contend with his teammate, Ryerson, at RB/RWB who ran about like a headless chicken.

[TW3Bee]

Decent game, yesterday.
Had a hand in one of the goals, and put in a good block to deny an Iraqi attack.

It looked like they were playing a back 3 most of the time!

Even when they were in a 4, too!

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it….

 

[Edmundo]

What a fine young man he is - and proud to play for Brentford too. A proper unsung hero!

 

[Crookedspirebee]

I've always thought Ajer is the Bees best centre back. Miles better than Collins, Sepp or Nathan in my opinion. Sepp and Ajer would always be my chosen pair of centre backs.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Is it me or is his involvement at the WC being overlooked here.

Playing really well.

 

[Hullbee]

Playing really well.

Only switched over for last twenty minutes and his team mates seem resistant to passing him the f***en ball

No, it's on the relevant match thread.

 

[Leedsbee]

Increasingly reminds me of a heartthrob vicar happily going about his business in a country parish only getting agitated when faced with any kind of cheating. Had a great game today and the happiness that his team progress only tempered by annoyance that Haarland can even get goals with a hopeless attempt to control the ball.

 

[Old B]

Will the rowing and bang drumming be coming to the GTech!

 

[Ashford Bees]

Thought he looked composed and love the way he celebrates defending. Big player for us.

 

[Leonardo]

Putting it out there. My man of match. He is their best defender by far. So many interceptions.

 

[paulj]

Immense, must start next season in my opinion.

 

[Argus]

He's just incredible, isn't he? Just played a massive part in Norway reaching the second knockout stage for the first time ever.

A shame he and Thiago are unlikely to face each other in the following match.

 

[longdistancebee]

I remember when, when the ball was out of play or something and it was a bit quiet, someone in the crowd gave a Bjork type of 'shriek' when Hermann was playing, and the big man heard it and acknowledged it with a huge smile.

So, when Ajer comes on the pitch in our first home game, we 'Ro, Ro, Ro' !!

 

[Hullbee]

Will the rowing and bang drumming be coming to the GTech!

If he wins the World Cup it seems the right thing to do.

 

[Hullbee]

Immense, must start next season in my opinion.

He is already starting for Norway so assume this will continue next season

 

[COYB25]

I thought Ajer was great last season, like a new lease of life. The way he held up the opposition players 3 of them at a time when in the box during set pieces was pretty great. I’d say he and Sepp were our strongest CBs last season.

 

[JCMcBee]

... he's a big fairy... which is fine... obviously.. Brentford through and through.

 

[Superbeesensi]

Trying not to pick sides but come on Kris

 

[Banana]

This is not a match update thread.

 

[Leonardo]

Not his finest match with conceding the penalty, but rest of match was ok. But interesting he seems to be one of the leaders on the pitch.

 

[SmiffyBee]

I thought he did really well in key moments especially positively.

Hope he flops in the next game though

 

[WarrenBee]

He nearly became the first Brentford player to score a goal in the World Cup!!

I have made an enquiry with the Norwegian Bees and await their reply.

 

[North London Bee]

Real conundrum for Andrews. He’s a top class international defender. Does he start and if so who do I leave out.

Are Danish Bees are ready to row in as well? Vikings united!

I think its shown its going to be Ajer plus one - Collins, VDB or the new fella.

 

[Guildford Bee]

He’ll likely have an extended off season so I wouldn’t expect him to be in the starting XI for the opening games

I’d assume he’ll select the best squad and starting XI for the game to suit his tactics, regardless.

This. the very earliest he'll report for training is 26th July. May be a week after. He'll be 4-5 weeks behind everyone else so don't expect him to start until at least mid-September.

It was actually Vikings from current day Sweden who mainly rowed. The Norwegian Vikings were more long distance seafarers mostly reliant on sail power So they are really doing a homage to Swedes. Or so my newspaper tells me.

He wont be that far behind as he’ll be going home on Sunday and will be completely match sharp few weeks off and back on it .

Don't even start.... Vikings were never actually a group of people anyway, "viking" meant to go raiding. They were all probably called "Northmen" at the time, or lumped together as "Danes".

Norsemen = men from the North; Viking = Norsemen raiders. I think they included any of what we now regard as individual nations Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

If I recall correctly from schooldays from a history teacher who was rather obsessed with them!

Yes, the activity became the catch all name for them, they almost certainly didn't refer to themselves as Vikings. Like calling English people "Tea Drinkers".

Countries as we know them today didn’t really exist back then.

Indeed. Hence my reference to 'current day Sweden'.

The last Bee playing in the World Cup.

Has already played more minutes than the other 3 combined!!!

 

[Untouchable]

Good luck Kris. I hope you’re Norway’s best player tonight. And lose.

Know that he won't actually play - but Jordan IS named as an England sub. Does that count?

*suppose he could get called on to take a penalty in a shoot out,

In my book there's two Bees remaining, or perhaps one and three quarters. Good luck to the both of them I say!

3 ex-Bees isn’t too bad!
