Well I’m sorry Juventus but you do not progress in this competition when you play in that manner.
Over 2 games we’ve been completely outplayed by a team of ‘inexperienced kids’ who played with the right mentality and intensity that this competition deserves. We can continue ‘building’ all we want but unless we completely change our philosophy this trophy will forever elude us.
Why don’t we play with intensity? Why don’t we press? Why do we score and then switch off when we should be going for the jugular?
Twice we had leads, twice we surrendered them. Ajax played with no fear, and they played their style of football how they wanted to, they always looked in control. This team have won 7 league titles by playing a style of football that cannot be successful out of Italy. It’s time for a clear out and a change of approach.
