Europa League SFs | Ajax vs Lyon

What a game! Absolutely exciting.

Ajax will be a very dangerous opponent if we meet them in the final. They've got a young, skillful and fearless front line.

Seems Jose was right about Traore. The kid has a bright future.
 
I'll be shocked if we don't beat either of those, to be honest.
 
I can take no pride if we win this competition, we seem to be the only side in the whole thing with an above average defence.
This is mental for a European semi final.

If it is such an easy competition why are Spurs and Roma out (both 2nd in their respective leagues)?

Our blend of experience and youth will wear them down. Very exciting to watch them though
 
If we get past Celta we better have our fecking defence on top song against this rabid Ajax attack.
 
That should be United in the Champions League next year via the Europa League
 
Lyon defending is like when children play football and everyone runs for the ball with no sense of positioning or a care of defending.

Now a 17 year old bullying the Lyon player.
 
Either Ajax are on drugs or Lyon have forgotten how to defend. Could be about 6-1 to Ajax.
 
United isnt that good that a win should be guaranteed.


Obviously nothing is guaranteed but if we get to the final, I'd expect Jose to navigate the game without too many snags. Nothing against those teams but it will be our last game of the season so both teams will be well rested and with the squad and the manager we have I'll be gutted if we didn't win. I fully expect us to win it, if we get to the final.

If we made the final you thinking we'll blow Ajax away? Serious question, I don't watch Ajax and I don't know what they are capable of, but know they are beating Lyon tonight with a nice score.

Mwah our record vs Dutch teams isnt too bright, and this is a once in a life time chance for the Ajax players as well, they will be up for it too. I think 60-40 United vs Ajax would it come so far.
 
Incredibly entertaining game.

That's what I've got. Leaving massive gaps everywhere. Mind you I've noticed Ajax doing a couple of times, namely, Fekir one on one.
 
Because they have a piss poor European record and stayed true to form?

Nothing to do with the teams actually being good? Sounds like arrogance. I will certainly be happy winning this tournament - one we couldn't win with a very good team last time we competed.
 
Yeah i dont understand why people would be optimistic against ajax but nervous against lyon when ajax are hammering lyon and would be incredibly motivated in a european final with all their youngsters.
 
We can take these guys out IF we mean business. No fooling around. No missing sitters. No sloppy play. No relaxing after being one goal ahead. No waiting till the second half before pressing hard. No fergie time stuff. Anything short of this and the glory hunting boys of Ajax and even Lyon, will use us as a stepping stone to stardom. This, of course, assumes we make it past Celta de Vigo.
