Ajax have dominated the midfield really. We should bring on a CM at half time and tighten up a bit because i can see Ajax scoring again.

Entertaining and enjoyable half
Youngs been a bit shit
Park has been great
Good match to watch. Both teams are showing the right attitude out there. Young and Nani haven't got as much of the ball as I'd like but otherwise we've been playing well.
Just make sure we score the next goal and snuff out the chance of a comeback.

I can see why Pogba's not involved, you need experience at hand just in case.
I'm liking the look of Eriksen. Looks a good player.
Park's been a headless chicken so far. Put in a proper CM alongside Cleverley and this should get better.
Entertaining half so far though, but far too open for my liking.

We need to take park off and bring on either Carrick or Scholes.
It's really alarming that we have nobody in the squad that can adequately replace/deputise for Carrick.

Fast & quality pass exchange from Cleverley, so far. Good movement, too.
Could I possibly get a PM with something stable and not bloody Mexican? Doing my head in this.
He was more involved than Nani though.
On the basis of that half all the Ajax team look great players. We're making them look good.
Park, as captain, won't be taken off anytime soon.
Good half except maybe a for needless tackle from Rafael which granted him a yellow card.Park has done well in CM
Nah, Young has been hopeless, if we wanted a clear win I think Ferguson would take him off for Carrick and play Park left and Nani right but I think he thinks the result is fairly safe and our players need to get some time under their belts.
We're playing too many long balls. Settle things down.
Ajax are actually playing really well. Keeping possession very well and are dragging a lot of our players out of position which is giving them a lot of space to play in. Our centre midfield is very lightweight, decent pressing but little bite. Parks a bit of a headless chicken, while Young and Nani have struggled to get into the game. Hernandez is looking bright and has linked up well a few times with Berbs. Rafaels been pretty solid but a bit careless on the ball. Jones has been continually dragged out of position.
He really wasnt. He wasnt shit neither though. The wings are working pretty well. The CM is a bit worrying though. Gotta take Park off tbh.
Nah he's been all over the place. His positiong wasnt good at all.
So if someone pushes you, and you hand the ball, it's play on?
Cleverley is good when it comes to linking up but I can't help but feel his (not timed very well) forward runs leave the CM light.
Channel 5 makes me want to kill people.
Namely Stan Collymore.

Pat Nevin you fecking arhhrrgrff
Anyone have a good river?
Who is this guy analysing Berabtov. Argh I feel violated.
Has Pat Nevin burnt his tongue or something?
I totally disagree.For a guy who isn't a natural CM, he's done well
The feck is Collymore on about?
I must be the only one who thought Ajax look completely toothless upfront, the goal aside. We let them have all the possession and hit them on the break, and it works very well so far. Should've scored more than once though.
Getting involved towards the end of the half, he'll improve in the second.
Domestic violence probably.
I think that's why most are excited about seeing him alongside Carrick
Now let's talk to pat nevin.....in a broom cupboard......
fecksake!
fecksake!
Loads, I'm just not allowed to share them anymore.
Hope so. Frustratin the life out of me at the minute.
He's trying to run into space which is better than standing there scratching his arse.
He's always looking for space. Mark of quality CM.
Cleverley and Scholes in midfield pretty please Froglie.
Is running into space the same thing as attacking the space? If so, I approve.
