    Ajax were completely strolling that but it's set up a chance second half..

    Hate their scumbag support but want Ajax to go through as I think they could do United, hopefully. Lyon are just a shambles defensively and that hasn't changed anytime I've watched them this season..

    Ajax are good to watch but looking at them here I'm thinking people are still overrating them a bit. I was guilty of it perhaps even last week.

    I think United and Mourinho would deal with them. There are still players in that Ajax team who are pretty average. Veltman being one of them, incredibly inexperienced too which can pose it's own problems as well as benefits.

    That's just the thing, they're all very young. Their captain is 24 years old. Don't think they are really overrated. If they can keep their nerves under control they can be brilliant. see the the first match vs Schalke and Lyon too.

    Btw. That * running to the field asking for a card. :56:

    Lyon v Ajax is an exciting match but not a lot of quality on show.

    Lyon's finishing has been terrible.

    Both teams have shaky defences but Ajax have the better front players to exploit that.

    They have a couple of very exciting players but I think the way the commentators keep talking about how if they kept this lot together they could do special things etc.

    I'm not sure. Take Ziyech out and they are immediately weakened quite a bit.

    I watched them against Rostov at the beginning of this season and they were shocking. Massive change since but there is still that vulnerability there for me.

    I'd still fancy us against them.
