We had 2 goals advantage and Ajax's defense looked everything but solid. With just a little more attacking attitude and attacking subs, at least in the last 10-15 minutes, we could have won this.

People are seriously complaining about us not going to win the game for 90 minutes? 
First leg we score 2 out of 4 shots. Second leg we waste little energy and EASE through to the next round, hardly any shots without and worries or scares to Manninger. We also get a clean sheet. The only complaint could be about the possession in the second half which obviously needs work, but everyone was so deep.
With the amount of players we have injured we can't afford to be pushing our players in unnecessary times.

I thought we played better in the first half when we had decent chances. If Trez wasn't caught offside for a million times, we would have created more. In the second half we just didn't need to do anything because Ajax were toothless. I think we would have been with our pants down if Suarez was playing, but we did enough to contain this Ajax side who weren't tough. You are right about us not getting past tough sides with these sorts of performance, we definitely need to up the ante if we want to go far in this tournament and Serie A.
Didn't felt save at all
To be honest, I didn't feel at all nervous today. Its a nice feeling to have after all the heart in the mouth matches we had all season long.

We looked less shakey than we did before. I don't like the attitude we played with, especially in the 2nd half, but if you look at what a mess we've been in previous games, the way we did it gives me some confidence.
No I think your point being is that you think we will continue with such a mentality that will make us suffer later in the competition, maybe so maybe not. I don't agree going all defensive but the game was already won before we kicked off. I think the way we play at home against Fulham will show our character.
