People should stop hyping Ten Hag. He got crucified for his 2nd half against Tottenham, and rightly so. Bottling that game was totally on him, as much as Ajax's success was the previous two knock-out rounds. Tottenham played a very simple game, looking for the diagonal long ball to Llorente (who tried to create 1v1 situations against Blind as much as possible and could lay it down for midfielders). This is one of the most simple strategies but also one that should have been defended easily. Make your midfield drop deeper, get them closer to their defense so that laying down balls isn't as easy for the striker. That way Llorente has to drop deeper and get much farther away from goal. I was baffled by the fact Ten Hag didn't respond to this at all at any time during the second half. Very naive play.
