    It was a close call so right to stay with the onfield decision.

    Look like his back leg was beyond Trippier

    This Ajax side are seriously impressive.

    If Spurs don't buck their ideas up, this tie could be over tonight.

    I thought it could of been called off but I'm glad it wasn't. not because I want Ajax to win but because the benefit of the doubt/if its just millimetres it should always be given to the attacking team.

    Spurs must have a ST in their academy better than Llorente. Spanish Maggenis.

    Agree, like umpire's call in cricket when it's really marginal you should support the on field officials anyway

    Big Problem for Spurs right now is the 352 isn’t working. Don’t have a player in that back 5 that is versatile enough to change game plan without an early sub.

    Ajax bossing it so far, can't help but be impressed by them.

    there goalie seems like a bit of a character. rarely if ever have I seen a goalie away from home in a semi-final of the champions league play as a sweeper keeper.

    So which Ajax player is going to end up where then?

    You just know this team is going to get torn apart over the summer by the bigger teams... Being Ajax though you just know they wont mess up as badly as Monaco

    I dont think hes a bad player, different from Kane, spurs need to put in more crosses for him. Its difficult for him getting games so when he does finally start a game hes probably trying so hard to impress.

    Ajax were 400/1 to win the Champions League when the draw was made in August.

    I reckon De Jong will end up at Barca for around 75 million  ;)

    I'm sure Roland and Driesen are at the game scouting acquisitions for next season

    Picture during the Vertonghen injury seemed to show exactly that.

    Ajax have got a bloody nerve, playing this well in Tottenham’s shiny new stadium.

    Nah cut backs means that Driesen is having to use Championship Manager 94/95

    We're signing Edgar Davids and Michael Reiziger

    watched there game agaist Juve and I couldent believe their defender was only 19 years old. believe it was Matthijs de Ligt. seemed to read the game way beyond his years. somebody must be after him.

    I'm sure most of their players, de jong, van de beek etc. will be off in the summer. shame really.

    saying that though I couldn't believe how poor davy klassen has been at Everton after looking very good with Ajax. that and the unbelievable season Tadic has had with Ajax after leaving Southampton. maybe its best for these players to stay in Amsterdam.

    de Ligt is being mooted by everyone; think Liverpool fans would love him as he'll link up with van Dijk

    Going to be a big ask beating Holland in the Nations League in a few weeks, hopefully Ajax and Liverpool reaching the Final will hinder their preparation as with the Champions League Final on the Saturday before our Semi-Final (Thursday 5th) will give the Dutch less time to work together as they'll still be missing key players

    de Ligt - a centre back with over 100 games for Ajax and 15 caps for Netherlands and only 19 - offers have to start at 70million plus in todays transfer market

    De Ligt is going to Barcelona as well isn't he?

    Although given their defensive problems, Man Utd should pay whatever it takes to try and get him.

    Pretty sure Ajax will be looking at 80 million upfront with around 20-30 in clauses.

    Its pretty much a guaranteed 110m in the case, but for a CB who can play at the top level for 13 years or so that’s not too bad.

    As expected the change from the 352 has made this a good game.

    Theres a reason England play 433 now, you can’t use 352 at the top level.

    It does seem that Poch got his team selection and tactics completely wrong.
