Champions League 18/19

Qtrs : Beat City
Semi : Beat Spurs
Final : Trounce Manure

Now that would be the dream.

Ajax have shown this season that their current team is more than capable of going toe to toe with the so called big boys in Europe. Would certainly not rule them out over two legs against City

Their amazing to watch like us last season but a tactically astute side will beat them imo. Some like Juve would be a nightmare for them.

Would love to see them do well though.

Not so sure about that. They have changed their set ups depending on the game in the CL this season and they have shown that they are just as comfortable playing a compact counter attacking game as they are at forcing the tempo.


The two games they had against Bayern showed this. They went at Bayern in one game and played a counter attacking game in the other.

Even in the two games against Real they did this and continued the habit of counter attacking more in the home game and in the away games going at teams fast from the kick off.


Tactically I think they are pretty sound and have more than a few high level players in their team at present so are a threat to anyone left in the CL imo. Despite them having a fairly young team I don't think they are as tactically naive or maybe one dimensional as say Monaco (exciting but flawed against teams that would not engage them head on) were in the CL a few seasons back.

They might not come with the same fear factor that some of the other names left have, but I think that is also to their advantage as some teams might see them as a soft(ish) touch.


Them vs Juve would be a fascinating game imo, as Ajax have as much in their locker to make things uncomfortble for a team that plays like Juve as Juve do for Ajax.

I want City. Someone needs to take them back down a peg or two.

That being said, I'll not be too disappointed if we get Porto.

[S-RED]

I hope that Uefa are pissed with Man C & set them up with Barca or Man U; Barca as for Pep that would be very intense & Mancs because Young would kick lumps out of the ****s.

[Nicey]

The football romantic in me would would love it if we could meet Ajax in the final.

Liverpool V Ajax European Final ... **** me it does not come more Retro than that

[Nicey]

At this stage in the game, I will be happy with anybody, the only team I would prefer not to draw is City, purely for the benefit of the title race. It would be ideal if they draw either United or Spurs and we draw anybody else.

[topscorer]

I'd take anyone but would prefer not to meet the Mancs or Juve in the quarters.

They have been impressive no doubts and have so many flair players, along with good ballers.. fabulous to watch. Bayern and Madrid are slow and exactly the types of side Ajax could punish, we have a lot of pace in everywhere and are a much different proposition.

I would hazard a guess that most of the others team in the comp would hope for Porto first and then Ajax.... whether that's the right thing to hope for remains to be scene but yeah they can give anybody problems with the attacking style. Porto would be the ideal draw but we don't do things easy so I would imagine we'll get one of the big boys.
