But we were quite evidently the better team for over an hour.
So what on earth does that make Ajax?
We were the better team for 45 minutes, but our better, never quite hit the peaks of their better. Even when we we're playing better we were still bumbling about frittering the ball away, and Sissoko added a much needed body and gusto but he hardly brings intelligence and composure - and an ability to metronomically help control the game.
I hope if Poch gets his head out of arse for the second leg, we get Son back, we might do a bit better. But by god we really miss Winks, someone with a brain to stitch that midfield together.
