    They all look the same.

    It's got a sky blue collar, so it can't be Rose (or any other Spurs player, for that matter)

    I can see that to be true aswell. People say Ajax are a young team bla bla....but we are not an old team. There's alot of mature young men in our team. If we play this right we can get through. I agree about Nando...I see he was back to getting some stick from posters again. Fact is the PL is a bit too fast for him but European football suits him and he plays well for us just like he does well for us in domestic cups where the pace may not be frantic either.

    Every team has its weaknesses so we must find Ajax's and exploit them tonight.

    Tonight is about winning the biggest cup in the club game. Whether it gets us a CL spot or not, tonight is the biggest game of the season. If we're still in the tie, next week's will take over as the biggest. I know it is impossible but I'd settle for a year in EL for a win in this year's CL.

    Can see the logic behind Llorente as he’ll give us the out ball to beat the press - rely on our DMs and defence to stand firm, and use Llorente, Moura and Dele to get at them after taking their midfield out of the game. I’m not sure his lack of mobility will be a huge issue.

    Ironically with so few options up front - in other words more forward than Dele - he might be able to do the thing he is better at than almost anyone else, which is arriving in the box late and unexpectedly.

    Right then. I've settled on it:

    Hugo
    Trippier Toby Jan Davies
    Sissoko Wanyama
    Alli Eriksen Rose
    Lucas

    Subs: Gazza, Dave, KWP, Foyth, Dier, Skipp, Llorente.

    Him and Jan trained yesterday and are being assessed today I believe. Let’s hope we have both of them

    Do not risk him (better IMHO to have him starting XI ready for the away leg) .

    I am more wound up awaiting KO for Spanner/Burnley PL games
    than I am for these CL KO games (I guess tis because we know the
    opposition are at least open to winning away by more than a 1-0
    sneak result) .

    This is a big chance for both teams.
    The chance to reach a CL Final doesn't come along too often.
    Exciting for the neutrals too! I would be happy for whichever team wins.
    I'm a Barca fan tomorrow night btw.

    The full team bit is whats causing the issue

    Our first team would smash them. Too much love in for this Ajax team...we are hungry as a club and team too.

    The Dam bit...wish i was joining you

    I am excited as a neutral to potentially witness dives of
    "once in a lifetime" technical complexity in those games.
