Saying Spurs are tired is doing a great disservice to Ajax.Simply put Ajax are playing them off the park in all areas.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Spuds in the wars.
Stop it about Blind. He would shite as the rest of the team has he stayed.
How is that not dangerous play by the keeper? You see shit like that all the time.
Bad challenge. His feet were off the ground.
I'll forever laugh at those who said we need better players than Blind if we want to challenge for leagues and the CL
That's a pen surely?

Spurs central defenders just killed each other?
Vertonghen and Alderweireld hatched a plan to take one another out to stop the embarrassment 
Yikes that's a nasty one
Toby and Verthongen in the air, ends in catastrophe. Looks nasty for Vert
Oof, that looks like a lot of blood
I miss Blind
It's sad that this Ajax side will be broken up in the summer.
That was a great decision by the linesman for the Ajax goal.
Joke that Blind went while Smalling, Jones and Rojo remained
Sissoko has been our 2nd best player all season, key in all of our big games (including pissing all over Man City in the first leg) and is hugely press resistant. He's also a massive, MASSIVE step up from Wanyama who is barely fit and just back.
Winks has had superb performances vs Madrid & Barca in the CL and that kind of CM is crucial in these kind of ties, the ones who can pass the ball and keep it calm. We lack any kind of tangible midfield and are forced to drop Eriksen far too deep. That makes a huge difference.
But yeah whatever, they wouldn't change a thing.
Spurs unlucky
There you go, goal was onside
He's been saved.
Like they categorically did not do it to a superior side than you lot last round?
Don’t make me laugh.
Keepers are ridiculously over protected
They're not but they are quite important for Spurs. They don't have good depth in their squad.
Not necessarily, if we buy the lot of them
Lloris is really good to full shiit mode.
Compared to Wanyama? Don't be obtuse.
Ajax need to get another one at least. Don't quite trust them not to concede. Plus Son will be back for the next leg.
I don't even have the energy to gloat about my support of Blind. I'm just going to allow this post to do it.
They dominated Juventus at their place and outplayed Madrid (it's still madrid in the CL in the bernabeu). They COULD still do this to you on their day.
Poch playing to give up possession and hope for the break, I think were gonna get ruined here tbh.
I don't care what they did in the last round. Right now they're doing this to us because Llorente is pointless, Wanyama has lost it 3-4 times and can barely pass, and we have zero threat on the counter.
Son, Kane and Sissoko in particular would make a huge difference.
They did it to a full strength Juve and Madrid who have better players then all the ones Spurs are missing.
Does it make a difference of course it does but Ajax are dominating Spurs because they are a better side and there is no shame in that.
Yep,perfect example of building a foundation on a strong philosophy. Shit results will happen along the way.
Yeah but Sissoko and Winks are obviously better than anything Madrid and Juventus have
Or something like that
Not sure it's because they miss Kane. Spurs can hardly get off their own half.
Barcelona have already secured De Jong, with De Ligt likely to join him.Not necessarily, if we buy the lot of them
United's transfer activity in recent times has been atrocious in comparison.
You can't play counter attacking football with Llorente leading the line.
Son and Lucas? Yes, sure.
Kane, Son, Sissoko, Winks. 4 starting XI players missing, including basically our entire midfield and best two attacking players.
Kane would be dropping deeper, providing far more energy to Llorente, and is one of our best and most press resistant players.
With Llorente we're down to 10 off the ball.
It makes a huge difference no doubt, but I think they’d still play the way they are right now and quite possibly also dominate you.
I feel for you, having to play such an important game with those players up front. On the other hand, it’s kinda your own fault for not investing in the team last offseason.
