To be fair De Kuip and your fans are twice as good as Ajax in my opinion.

The atmosphere there is incredible.
On that I agree. Ah well, you dont support Feyenoord for their trophy haul. And I can cheer for Ajax without problem in Europe.

It's so sad that this Ajax team is going to get picked to pieces in the upcoming transfer windows. They're such a good team to watch.

We can give Lallana & Lambert back no worries, and I'm sure something can be sorted out for Lovren :D

Also Southampton were unlikely to achieve anything besides best of the rest status. Ajax knocked out Real Madrid & are on course to take Juventus to penalties :drool:

Ajax deserve credit they are no pushovers and if they played the semi final vs Spurs I truly believe a CL Final could be on the cards.

Juve though..They are shocking in midfield aren't they?

Ramsey can't come fast enough. I still have no idea why Douglas Costa isn't even in the squad given his impact coming off the bench in the first leg.

Just like Monaco got pick apart 2 years ago. In the end Ajax can get a lot of money from player sales to rebuild squad. There are so many talented young player waiting for game time such as Ødegaard, Isak probably will be available in the summer.

Both of them have Ajax written all over them.

It's not that bad but Pirlo-Vidal-Pogba was just the sex a few years back. :drool:

Italian teams in CL have had this issue for a long time, if you let them play at their tempo you're in trouble. If you impose your own game on them they usually have no answer. The Spurs-Juve game was a good example of this last year as was Milan-Arsenal.

Ronnie long-shot territory. Let's see what he can do.

Hit the wall, naturally.

Because he's injured

As for liverpool-barcelona, addendum: if Messi turns on God Mode for the two games, tie will be open, with maybe barcelona being slightly favoured so long as the rest of the team shows up

Danny Ings looked like a decent enough squad player until his leg got fecked :( I'd take him over Origi anyway.

Thanks :lol:

Bonucci is a complete liability defensively. Without Chiellini that defense is not good enough.

Juve really don't like to make things easy for themselves, 3 or 4 important players out injured for every game it seems like.

Well, it's not a given Messi will be in god mode, and it's not a given the rest of the team will show up even if he does. I mean, last time he went full god mode in europe against a great team, they still lost 3-0

Ajax has to show more of the brawn they showed at home and away to Real. They're scared. Also De Jong is clearly not fit.

Is he worth the 12.5M seems like too much money.
They've hit the jackpot with some of these relatively unknown youngsters though like Neres and that centre half that went to Spurs whos name I suddenly seem to have forgotten.

Edit: Davinson Sanches.

Sanchez?
Odegaard and Isak would be great signings for them.

It just looks to me like Fred goes for the ball? And rakitic steps out in front of him.

There's no intent there.
