So this should be the right match to get the Forest game out of the system. Who is fit to play and what system will we play is the question. I think we can afford to set up to counter attack as Ajax will come at USSR home.
Looking at the goal difference in the group, any defeat by one goal that isn't 1-0, and barring a miracle, we're through.
Ox and Keita not available but apparently Darwin and Konate on the plane. Bjacetic is in the squad and anytime he has come on has played well could he play instead of one of the midfield. Will we see a two upfront with Darwin up top and Mo playing off him.
Thought any win by them that is not by 2 goals won’t be good enough for Ajax with our goal difference But then they have Rangers twice to play
As I understand it,in the event we finish level on points,a 1 nil win for them tonight will make goal difference irrelevant.I think it goes head to head(level with a win each),then goals scored in the head to head(2-2),then away goals (1-0 to them which will put us out). Open to correction though.

Good to be going in that half a goal up. Crazy miss from Darwin. Edgy game, BergWHINE playing into Robbo's hands
Bit of luck for a change because we could have easily been a couple down before we scored. Great goal from us and should have scored another. Poor performance though. Just as I'm typing the female pundit on BT Sport is talking about aggression,and apart from Gomez and Robertson,we've definitely been lacking it.
From what I can make out atm, they have gd 15, we're on 10. If we score another here, beat them by 3 goals next week we'd go through top? Cant see it happening though
Slow start but don't think we were as poor as making out. Got hold of the game after 20 and scored at a great time to take the wjbd out of them. 2nd half shows a team with confidence and what they can do. How their keeper is there under Van De Saar's watch is beyond me. Job done with a game to spare will do me.
