“WE DID IT”

“Holy fuckballs, is this real life ?!!!?”

“Great to get the 0-1, but it’s far from over. We need to replicate the first 20 minutes in Amsterdam.”

“Good result, am quite scared for Son in the return though. Also this ref was quite frustrating to watch. Spurs Just pushed everyone around, Ajax do it once or twice and he calls fouls immediately.”

“Ajax dominated the first 25 minutes and it was probably the best I’d seen them play all year. Tottenham’s switch to a back four gave them more grip on midfield, and the sub of Sissoko for Vertonghen even more so. Ajax didn’t have an answer for his movement and strength and both Schone and De Jong disappeared from the game – although De Jong still put in a helpful defensive shift. Subbing in Mazraoui and dropping off Ziyech and Neres greatly helped to secure the midfield in the last 25 minutes and the biggest chance was actually for Ajax with Neres hitting the post. You could see space starting to appear but the passing wasn’t crisp enough (and the mindset probably not attacking enough by that point) to make the most of it. Spurs fans are confident because Son will be back but we will have to see how that pans out. Llorente’s strength as a target man gave us a lot of trouble and I’d expect him to play the return match with Lucas Moura being benched.”

“I do think Lucas played pretty good, and I expect spurs to come up with a 433 with llorente and both son and Lucas on the wings”

“I’m strangely discouraged actually. It easily could have been 3 with those chances for Donny and Neres. You have to remember that they will have Sissoko and Son for the whole match in the home leg.”

“True but Spurs were playing much better in the 2nd half and perhaps deserved a goal more than Ajax.”

“Blind got manhandled all day by Llorente.”

“Reallllllly should have made it 2-0 squaring it to Neres but then again it was his dummy that made that play”

“Why am I not satisfied with this result I was with 1-1 against Juventus but Spurs

Those goals that we missed are really gonna come and bite us in the ass”

“Of course, 0-1 is a great result, and it is great to see this side can fight for a win when things aren’t going their way.

But, I feel like we could have done better, and I feel like its not secured at all. Hopefully next week we can play our own game and secure it.

Its going to be really tight I think.”

“I’m still feeling kinda disapointed it was only 0-1… “

” Too passive tonight after Sissoko came on, we really needed 2 away goals with Son returning next game. Worrying signs honestly, this was not a good spurs side “

“We beat the team with Ronaldo and all you are worried about Son coming to Amsterdam? Come on. We won at their new stadium with a massive atmosphere, with an excellent attacking/control display in the first half and a professional defensive performance in the second.

Not saying it is over but I think people are overly worried. The team, and fans, should go into the second leg with confidence. The worst thing that would happen is they get nervous.

Also Son might be coming back but I actually thought Spurs’ best attacking player was Lucas Moura who will likely be replaced by Son. They seem quite similar.

The second half got a little sloppy but you also have to understand this was our first away-first tie, and we were caught a bit between settling for a 0-1 and going for a second but risking 1-1. I think they made the right choice to defend for the last 25-30 minutes and invite some pressure to aim for the 0-1.”



“Hoping Vertonghen makes a good recovery. “

“Hope he’s indeed okay, but with a possible concussion that’s too early to say I think. He definitely didn’t look okay when he had to be carried off.

The next few days will show if he’s fine. I think seeing him like that hurt everyone, Ajacieden and Spurs fans alike.”

“It’s an absolute disgrace that the Spurs medical staff let him back onto the pitch. Even the referees saw that he couldn’t play. There should be 3rd party medical staff to make sure the players don’t get back onto the pitch when they’re clearly not in shape to play anymore”
