Despite Ajax's 2-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday, which brought them within three points of league leaders Feyenoord, Dutch media outlets have heavily criticized Israeli player Oskar Gloch following his substitute appearance. Gloch entered the match in the 60th minute, but his performance was deemed subpar by commentators and publications.
Former player and current ESPN commentator Kees Kwakman described Gloch's play as "catastrophic" and labeled him the "king of mistakes." Kwakman pointed out Gloch's frequent inability to make timely passes and questioned his overall contribution, contrasting him with faster players like Simon Adingra who can solve Ajax's problems. Kwakman also suggested Gloch lacks the ability for effective deep runs.
Local publication VI echoed Kwakman's sentiments, characterizing Gloch's performance as "catastrophic." Meanwhile, Soccernews questioned whether Gloch is in his final months at Ajax, noting his weak showing as a substitute and minimal contribution. Despite the criticism, the publication observed that coach Michel continues to give Gloch playing time, indicating a degree of faith in the player.
