1-1 will be decent. ajax themselves beaten juve away after home 1-1 game.

0-1 is also better than people think.

Go to Ajax, score a goal and then....

Half-time came at a sh!t time for us but we need to use Llorente.

 

[KickAssAndGiggle]

Too much negativity here. Poch got the shape wrong. Now it's right.

We are going to win this 2 - 1.

Wanyama and Sanchez both having nightmares, Wanyama in particular. We have looked a different team since going 4 at the back, even before Jan came off you could see it helped us.

We’ve not been at our best, but Ajax are fucking excellent. Crazy how good this team are and shame they won’t stay together.

Not sure really what we can do at this point, I think Wanyama needs to come off but will Dier be theatre much better given how he’s played since coming back? Llorente has held the ball up well. Crucial 2nd half now.

Sanchez was pretty bad for the first 30 mins, but he is getting better and better. I think the nerves got him at the beginning.

 

[Ed the Duck]

It isn't just that, he's given himself no forward options on the bench; they're literally all DMs or defenders. How did he think that he would change things if we found ourselves in this situation? Utterly bizarre

Just for laughs - who exactly do you think he could have put on the bench to bring 'forward options'. FFS don't people realise there just isn't anyone!

We should have put an attacker on the bench?

 

[Lickher]

That’s what is worse we have handed it to them - they are decent, we have made them look like world beaters.

Talking out your arse pal.

 

[bus-conductor]

This isn't about Alli, Eriksen, Trippier or Wanyama, this was about our manager making an absolute pigs ear of things tactically from the get go.

We should have put an attacker on the bench?

Who?

 

[Eli]

We need 2 goals fucking ell

Goal(s) would be good but as it stands we had to score over there anyway at worse stays 0-1 is not the end of the tie

 

[OffTheBench]

Sissoko makes such a difference.

 

[Leondna]

Nevertheless, from our first half display, Eriksen has not been too effective as Ajax press high up, and we loses possession easily. This defeat the purpose of having a back 5 to Ensure we can recycle possession.

I am sure Poch knows this and is already planning for a change to back 4 after the break.

 

[Radical Rei]

Some of you lot need to calm the fuck down

I don't agree with the Ossie Wembley on a number of things either.

But I don't want him to be erased from existence for having a different opinion.

 

[iz futbal]

iz futbal try explaining your disagrees and not being a match day thread cunt or cretinousgoat will be set upon you

Shut up.

 

[ArcspacE]

Sissoko makes such a difference.

If he scores roof will blow I’m sure

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

The crowd at the stadium more than anything is really ticking me off. They don't sound like Spurs at all, bunch of punters I would imagine!

Mate the crowd was loud as fuck at the start, so loud you couldn’t even hear the CL anthem!

I have dug our support out numerous times since we moved into the new stadium but tonight you can’t fault them, the energy dropped off because the team was playing shit and Ajax were frankly making us look like a youth team.

 

[Ossie Wembley]

3 at the back only works with effective wingbacks .
As we have none it was sucidal.
Praying for lady luck.

Seemingly everyone can see it bar one person

Agree. If we keep it to 1-0 we have a punchers chance next week with Sonny back

 

[hiatus]

Sissoko makes such a difference.

Tell this to 2017 me.
