The negativity on here is wild. Try and enjoy it 🤣

I am, 100%. I'll be much more uptight on Sunday.

So you don't want to see us win an actual competition? Odd take. 

This game is decided over 2 legs.

You can see the players are not putting in the effort to blow these away and are conserving themselves for Sunday's six pointer.

It's not the end of the world if we draw or lose by the odd goal here, if we have to get out of first gear in the second leg we will destroy these at VP in the return leg regardless.

Ajax are blocking off the midfield so we're having to go wide. That's a problem when our wingers aren't playing good. 

Brobbey is a donkey.

No, nor is Tim or Youri… three midfielders not in the game is not sustainable 

Youri started slow but is in it now, Tim's been nicely involved - Rogers can't have had more than three or four touches.

Feels like we are 2 men short with Tielemans not a the races and Morgan pretty much invisible. 

Credit to AJAX who are really good at judging when to step off and when to press

We can't keep the ball

Any small bit of pressure from Ajax and we are coughing it up

We've spent 35 minutes doing shuttle runs shadowing Ajax players

Could name 5 players who are not in the game at all

Konsa pushed him with two hands...

 Based on what this ref didn’t give against Konsa it isn’t a foul

I know Rogers needs minutes to get up to speed, but he's not in this game at all - he might need to be replaced at half time.

Neithers Tim or Diaby tbf. Midfield redundant

We're playing typical away European game. Kept the home team at bay, crowd are quitening down. Expect chances to come as the game goes on. 

I meant more with the fouls and at times getting overly excited in possession, we've got a bit of jitters in us when we cross the half way line with the ball 

Defensively we've been good, on the ball we can get better 

Even then konsa grabbing the ball after being foiled, he's already been booked for that
