LAM09 7,056 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It's shocking to me that bookmakers have Ajax as favourites here. They lead the group, made easy work of a side that beat us at home AND are at home.Not exactly surprising tbh Laylabelle, OneMoSalah, bigbluewillie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadic had 38 goals and 24 assists last season for them and while playing for 3 years for Southampton he was very average. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a difficult game I think. Hoping we can get something from it though. Just stay focused and don't do crap things.

If this was 2 years ago then yes, but they are a force once again now. Even with the losses of De Lijt and De Jong, which are blows they still have fantastic players. Added Promes too who is a good addition. I am not surprised Ajax are favourites. We lost to Valencia at home 1-0, while they dismantled them away from home 3-0. They also have a known system they have been working on for years while we are a team in transition despite the excellent work we have done this season.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 A draw is probably a good outcome for us here. Ajax are not too dissimiar from us in terms of playing style but are more settled as a group and also have less injuries to cope with. We should not be deluded to think just because or squad is valued more than tiwce as high as Ajax's that we are automatically favourites. Last year's CL and their stellar form this season so far undermine their favourites tag. But we should not bee afraid either. they can be broken and they can be shut down. Their defence is their weak point and sharp counter attacks can undo them. I think we should again start with 5 defenders provided James and one of Rüdiger/Christensen are fit. Othrwise i would not be confident with any of Zouma or Tomori playing in the middle of the back 3. However, as none will probably be risked I expect us to start like this Azpi--Zouma--Tomori--Alonso -------Kovacic--Jorginho------- Willian-----Mount------CHO ---------------Tammy------------ which is easily our best lineup given the many absentees. I guess it will be an exciting game. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
