We'd obviously have players back by then should we get through, the setup was largely contributed to because of the players missing...Even Son would have made a huge difference last night.

He seems to want to trust the player's that they will turn it around but if it's obvious that the tide is against you fucking change it up, poch seems to have a real blindspot with stuff like this it may have cost us a chance to make history really disappointing.

Oh, come on!!!
Eriksen was right, we made them look better than they are in the fist half hour, paid them way too much respect and they got too much time on the ball.
When we changed the formation they shit themselves and went into their shell.
A full strength team with Winks and Sissoko and Kane and Son with Trippier nowhere to be seen and we run out easy winners of that tie.

Managed to go yesterday and have had time to reflect.
That 1st 30 mins was arguably the worst I've seen us play in my 25 year of supporting Spurs. It was absolutely pathetic.
How the fuck can you be leggy in a CL semi final.
Dele was a disgrace and by far the worst player on the pitch. No effort which was bizzare.
Trips, Llorente and Wanyama also really poor.
Pretty embarrassing really and shows the huge work that has to be done in the summer.
Spoke to quite a few that would be happy to see Llorente stay for another season which was very odd.
Not Poch's best game neither.
Still in it.

Thought I'd have a say....
We are still very much in the tie. First half hour they were fantastic, albeit helped by our tactics and looking extremely anxious.
We are so depleted it's actually unbelievable, and the fact that we are very much still in it is credit to Poch. The fact we're still on course and in our hands to finish top 4, again is credit to Poch.
I swear, and I've said it before, only when Poch is gone will some realise what we've got/had.
We cannot win every game. We cannot dominate every game. I do think there's a feeling from some that we should at the very least dominate teams, regardless of opposition.
We look tired, mentally and physically. But we have spirit. Nobody can knock the effort last night. And spirit can carry you.
I absolutely believe and think we will get a result in Amsterdam. And if we don't every single one of us should be immensely proud for what this team has given us this season.

I appreciate some of the other poster's feel it's not over and whilst we might bag a goal I feel it will be just a consolation with our defence that just keeps leaking goals because Ajax will score again.

We were dominating the game and had most of the ball when you post.
The game had a long way to go.
Most of the 2nd half was in their half and they were doing fk all. No we didnt have much goal threat but we wont with Llorente up front and Son and Kane missing.
You asked 'why are we not playing?'
I'd have thought that was obvious with the players we have missing.
You cant take 40+ goals out of any team, plus a weakend midfield, and look just as good. What did you expect?
Poor form with the name calling btw numb nuts
What did I expect? Much more intensity and commitment for a start. Eriksen was so quiet it was unreal. Needed a lot more from him and Dele.
Look, even with our injuries, we just didn't perform to a good enough level.
Honestly that shouldn't need explaining, it was so clear to see.
We are extremely lucky that it's only 0-1. Still have a chance of progressing but it will take a huge improvement performance wise.

On a positive note, a strong and fresh Ajax didn't take their chance to put a wounded Spurs down.
I wonder if they'll regret that...

They gotten abit complacent I thought. I really hope we can do one over them at their turf. We are so much more capable than last night.

Reading the posts in this thread since the final whistle, I'm surprised to see so many people so confident of us going to Amsterdam and getting the win at their gaffe. I can't see that at all myself, but I desperately hope that I'm wrong and you confident-types are right.

I know that I am never allowed an opinion on here where your concerned but these formations and tactics have been going on all season even when we have had a decent team out, don't get me wrong I like poch but he has seriously got it wrong a lot this year and last night was an opportunity missed imo.

Do you know how a forum works? You make a post and people respond and vice versa, nothing to do with not being allowed to voice an opinion.
Yeah granted he's got it wrong a few times with that annoying formation and had had to change it up as we've been on the back foot (Dortmund/Liverpool) but last night was due to injuries so I don't think he can be blamed.

Did you see him come off? His leg was limp and he was out of it, looked awful.
