Mazraoui is shit defensively if you ask me.. but he is the better player to attack with if Ajax has the ball..
They sure are going to miss tagliafico.
We should field Kean and bench Mandzukic.
De Jong apparently taken off as precaution and therefore should be fit
I must say I am happy and unhappy about it as on one hand we would be in a better position to qualify without him but on the other hand I want us to beat the best.
I predict a 2-0 win but its going to take a performance which IMO we will be able to provide.
I also predict an upset with Man City after they beat Tottenham 3-2 and crash out
Liverpool and Barca will qualify with ease..
Very good question. The last time someone else played as a LB for Ajax instead of Tagliafico was on 10 of March, at home vs Fortuna Sittard, game they won 4:0 and D. Sinkgraven replaced Tagliafico at 66th minute. So, after 10 of March he played 7 straight games with full 90 min on the pitch.
Sinkgraven, Veltman, Marzaoui... Whoever plays will be a liability, since the first two have played only 6-7 games so far this season and the latter plays on the right side of defence.
So, if Berna is fit and ready and shows his Atletico M form and performance he would destroy them on that flang. I cant wait, I have a feeling Ajax wont replace Tagliafico properly and their defence will bend the knee several times...
thats why we should sign established defender in the summer ... someone like koulibaly ...
This is usual case from our captain since years to go ....missing him at the critical moments ... thanks it's Ajax that we can overcome ...if City or Barca it will be very hard ...
feck Chiellini healthy all season get injured in a training and missing the most important matches of the season..............
We really need someone fit and young.
The problem is Bonucci. Cause we can't bench or sell him given we got him back last summer....

Chiellini has not recovered yet & is likely to miss the game against Ajax, Emre Can, Matuidi & Rugani are fine & will be available to Allegri. [Sky]
Szczesny, Cancelo, Bonucci, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Can, Pjanic, Matuidi, Bernardeschi, Cristiano, Mandzukic/Kean are expected to start against Ajax. [Sky]
If that is how we are going to play we will surely lose
Im starting to think the good result we got is actually a bad one..
Has Chiellini been ruled out? I heard he is a doubt not ruled out..
