Champions League Round of 16 (12th Feb - 13th Mar)

Sad thing is that we will have McTominay instead of de Jong tomorrow. Although our defence may actually be better
 
Instead of forking money for Courtois, they really should have freshened up their squad

Such a dumb club at times, the last thing they needed was a keeper yet they've spent years chasing De Gea and Courtois.
 
They have offdays, where they're collectively shite. Mostly down to underestimating opponents or generally not being arsed to perform. Also, PSV won like 17 matches in a row and beat Ajax.

Oh and we beat then 6-2...

Thay being said, Ajax should kill this game. 0-3 and theyre done.
Would you say they have been the best team in the league ? Are they not first due to underestimating teams ?
 
Still parking the bus from Spurs? Dortmund will probs will crack them later on and win 1-0, but too late, job was done in the first leg I reckon.
Yep, still the same! Lloris made like 7 saves in the last 5 minutes. He's on drugs. Son missed a huge chance, that was the only Spurs chance so far.
 
Blind such a smart player.

Actually annoying watching this. Criminal we let him go.
 
Bale close. Benzema clutching at straws there.
 
Lloris is having the same kind of game tonight that DDG had at Wembley against Spurs. I wonder if Spurs will be able to keep this up for 90 minutes.
Mourinho might be getting a call later tonight if Real are knocked out.
 
In Holland.
It’s almost as if being around quality players rather than the dross of Southampton has helped him.

I’m not saying we should all get a hard on and go try and sign a 30 yr old midfielder, but credit where credit is due, he’s done well this season.
 
Casemiro stops, doesn’t attempt to play the ball and still gets a foul :lol:

And let's see if the Pochettino fan club are going to hold it against Pochettino, the fact that his goalkeeper had to make a bunch of saves to keep them in it, like they did with Ole.

Quality wise they are, easily. PSV is good too with Bergwijn and Lozano, but Ajax just have such an abundance of creativity. It's absurd really. Doubly so for our shitty league.
 
If Ajax get a 3rd, Madrid will need 3..
Ajax look much more likely to score at the moment.. Hope they get a 3rd before HT and kill this off

Good point, a third Ajax goal really changes the dynamics. Declare at 2 and Real Madrid just need one to get it to extra time and probably win from there, as you say 3 and even 2-3 isn't good enough for Real Madrid.

Personally I'd get Huntelaar on. I guess he can't run given he's in his mid 30s but guy can still poach if a few crosses get sent in.
 
And you can witness him vs. reigning CL champion as well.

It's ok thanks. I saw him for 4 years in the league he'd be playing in should United sign him. A much more relevant case study.
