Just when you didn’t think it was possible to waste more time than Ben Foster. This guy is on another level. Ref doesn’t give a ****.
It’s clear we are utterly toothless without Kane or Son. Yet again, Eriksen’s going awol against stronger opposition. Dele’s a shadow of his former self. Lucas is running down cul de sacs when all he needs to do is look up. Llorente is slower than my wife’s Hyundai. Only Sissoko and Rose come out of this with any credibility. The rest have been meh!
1-1 would be great but the risk of going 2-0 is too high vs getting the equaliser as either way we would still have to score over there
I can't see us scoring in any of our remaining fixtures,can you? Another give away season injuries or not. The Double curse strikes again....
Proof again that Eriksen does not front up in CM in these games (and no - late strikes on goal is NOT fronting up) .
We looked a bit better in the second half maybe? In dire need of a turnaround to finish the season in any reasonable shape though
At least we are still in the tie. With dier and sissoko in centre midfield and son up front we have a chance next match
At least you're still in the tie, but it was limp tonight. Moura is either good or bad and Llorente is no good unless you give him crosses to feed off.
Not as bad as it looked....Think we can do this with Sonny back. Rose and Sissoko excellent. Wanyama and Dele awful. Trippier not much better. Rest were meh. But we still only lost by one and they looked vulnerable. Ref was good other than not booking the keeper or adding on a second for time wasting.
Not a disaster 0-1. Not a good performance but Sonny back and Sissoko fitter and we can still do it. Ajax lost at home and won away this time they could lose at home and we win away, 1-2 will do it.
Rose, Lucas both superb. Llorente worked really hard and did a lot right tbh. Toby and Dave shaky in the early stages but grew into the game fantastically. Sissoko changed the game. Not enough - yet again - from Alli and Eriksen. Wanyama & Trippier awful. Given the cricumstances I'm happy with the result but now really nervous we'll lose at the weekend and screw up top 4.
After the first 30 mins, 1-0 is a godsend. Son will be starting, and I assume Sissoko will be good for 90 mins. CM should bow their heads in shame. Wanyama passing was woeful, but how long has it been since he has been fully fit and in a starting XI in a game of this importance ??
Well played Ajax.. We know what we're up against now.. Except for Verts injury, we've been lucky tonight. I still fancy our chances in Amsterdam.
