Got to say that the second half has given me hope for the away match. Ajax are good, but they're tiring. They may seem pacey and tricky against an aging Juventus and Bayern, but are clearly not used to playing against the tempo even a decimated Spurs holds over 90 minutes. Which makes me doubly sad, as I believe a full strength Spurs probably would see this Ajax side off pretty comfortably. That said, they're playing proper football, and I would be very happy to see them as winners if they advance past us.

They had by far the cleaner chances - hit the inside of the post. We were toothless bar a few headed openings.

Catch a grip, mate. We’re down to the bare bones yet we’re still in it. I think we’ll go to Amsterdam believing we can beat them with Son in the team.
Eriksen and Dele didn’t show up, which was disappointing.

Have to agree. He has looked terrible in that position.
I would play son up front in the second leg with dele and Moura around him.

Much better second half, though Ajax had the best chance.
Can only hope we've learned something from this for the second leg. At our best we can definitely hurt them, with Son and Sissoko back I remain somewhat optimistic, but I fear that we'll end up regretting that first half performances.
Several sub par performances today. Not the time or place to get into it right now, but there are some issues and headaches for Pochettino going into the summer.
Ah well, I'll say it... start Foyth at right back in the return leg.

I just hope the post they hit comes back as crucial as Aguero's missed penalty...

I said they had by far the cleaner chances. Our headed openings were half chances. If we're honest, Ajax should have been 2 to the good. Which is great news for us. All to play for.

We were absolute sh1t, all we had was hoof to Llorente and their keeper barely had a save to make. Not one player can honestly say they had a good game for us.**
At least in the 2nd half, we made a scrap of the game, but still very lucky not to go 0-2 down when they hit the post. They saw out the game for the 0-1 win.
We might yet do something in the away game, but we're going to have to play so much better. Son for Llorente, press from the front. We're only 1 down, maybe we can get the first goal early and make them sh1t the bed.
**edit -- Sissoko had a decent game.
