We look dangerous from corners though. Vvd got the beating of them every time. Just unlucky couldn’t get enough power to get it away from the keeper there

Half time review.

Diaz classy but.not being got the ball in the channel to run. so much good effort and example

Jota doing his bit but not leading any press imo

Salah only alright.

Tsimikas under sever pressure but fighting

Vvd asleep when it mattered

Matip doing OK.

Elliott weak link. Not pressure on anyone defensively. Little offensively.

Thaigo. Oozing class like.

Fabinho trying.

Trent.. dear oh dear. Trying a bit going forward. Awful defensive error. Directly responsible for thst goal.

Better performance tonight. More desire and intensity, being too open and leaving spaces still an issue. Should have had at least 2 goals from the chances we've have created.

Will get a goal second half from a set piece Shirley.
 
Jota looked lively for so long out. Nice pass to Salah for the goal and a decent strike from out the area.

Diaz looking busy without offering an awful lot. Should have scored from his shot 12 yards out. Poor to put it wide from there.

Salah been ok. Beat his man couple times towards end of half which is encouraging. Nice finish for the goal.

Thiago quality on the ball. Him and other 2 were really poor for the goal. No one tracked any kind of runner.
 
I'll say it again.

Trent looked at the man. Had three yards on the man amd never tracked. Then let the whole thing go.

It's not like the danger wasn't obvious as the only.possible pass on.

Not good enough.

Job 1. Defender, not last job, not added bonus job. It's the first job amd he failed again

I'm not sure with the way were set up that his first job is defender.
 
Overall, that was a positive half and we should be ahead . I have a slight concern that Ajax have more in them than we have seen but let’s have another half like that apart from the poor defending
 
Everyone:. We're doing better today.

Mito:. "We're doing terrible. The end is coming and we're all going to die" (paraphrased)

Unable to watch the game live myself so don't know which is correct. Looking at it purely from statistics available it looks like we're the better team.

agreed but his 2nd deffo is .

Thought , so far , we have been better tonight .
Just to add, we spend more time with the ball than without and Trent is both one of our main playmakers and generally our top assist provider. This shows his role is primarily an attacking one I'd say.

Just looked at the replay of their goal, VVD has to attack their forward. Yes it was a great strike but he might not have been able to do that if Virg had closed him down

Tbf, the other forward blocked him off, it was a bit like a pick and roll in basketball.
 
Please tell me that was Ajax fans chanting during the silence? I mean I have no probs booing the anthem normally, but when Jurgen, Kenny and the Hillsborough Support Group tell you to shut up, perhaps you should shut up?
