The painful thing is we have had chances.
And if Son's post hitting shot (like theirs in the first leg) and been two inches different we'd have equalized. I know about balls and the gender of parental siblings, but we have had our chances too.The desire talk is fudging cliched flimflam. We've created enough chances to be ahead in the tie. We just haven't been clinical in front of goal, which to be honest has been symptomatic of our season.
If we can score early second half you never know what could happen.. It'd give the team a shot in the arm, which we definitely need.
The Dier coming back from appendix op/tonsillitis and his hip injury from the England game? The unfit Dier? That would be a great choice.
We are fudging brick, that’s the easiest 45 Ajax have had for years.
Quite. With Winks injured, Dier not fit yet and Dembele on the scrap heap it's impossible to have any kind of possession.Especially with no ball playing centre mids. What would you give to have a fit Winks and still have Dembele instead of Sissoko and Wanyama
Compare the confidence of Ajax and their players to ours.
You can only beat what is in front of you though.They're not that good though. Spurs of 15-16 would destroy them
THIS. I'm off to get a half and half Goon/Cheat$ki scarf.Stop it with the perspective again! We're brick and every player is brick and poch is an idiot and Levy, you clown, the new stadium isn't all that, and we belong in the championship, really.
Exactly, and we do every game, we score almost every game. But our defenders ain't worth a light at the moment, I include Toby and Jan in that. They look like 2 average centre-halves flanked by an average left-back and a really poor right-back. We have lost so many games this season and this is why imo, because our attacking players do create and score their fair share. The defenders do not do their phucking job.
I'm not defending Trippier, who has been awful. I'm also not suggesting an unfit Dier as his replacement. That idea came from....Where as Trippier is be a fantastic choice all season?
Hes cost us 2 goals tonight and partly at fault for the goal in first leg.
Because we are doing a rebuild. Ajax as a club have won more CL/European cups that us, Emirates Marketing Project, Arse and Chelsea put together. They have a decades long tradition of youth development and are playing at full strength tonight. 15 years ago our season was over in March if we weren't fighting relegation fears.
Less than Burnley’s
