I can't agree with that, we were comprehensively outplayed, we couldn't get near them. This looks bad but it wasn't down to effort, we simply couldn't live with them.The attitude in the first half was despicable. We froze and were careless and arrogant, only to them feel down and shocked,resulting in panic. We grew as the game went on but it was still poor football that Ajax easily dealt with. If we get to the final and are able to secure top 4 it will be a huge achievement but we better not let it paper over the cracks. If there was ever a big transfer window to be had it really is this one, I hope our scouts have been earning their corn over the last couple of seasons.
