Hasn't Lacazette been carrying an injury prior to this game?

the commentator here certainly suggested it was cos of injury that he's not starting.

Ajax my preferred team to face the cnuts if they manage to stumble past celta, lyon yes dangerous in attack but way too open for me, i feel ajax v cnuts would be 50/50...

I think that is the case. I'm pretty sure he went off against Beşiktaş and he hasn't played since.

I hope Juventus win this, mainly because they're the only team who could stop RM winning it yet again.

I don't think either Juventus or Real will be winning the Europa League mate :P

Same, they'd hate Ajax's pressing. I've seen Lyon v Roma and Bestikas and they could quite easily have conceded 20-30 over the 4 games!! Not even exaggerating, the attack is lively but Mourinho would win via borefest v Lyon.

Do Ajax have the balls to beat United in a European final though? They seem like a young group who could freeze against the name they're up against.

Lyon seem to have a few players with a bit of arrogance about them in Fekir, Tollliso, Valbuena and Lacazette. Though you are right, their defence is a shambles. Truth is neither can be trusted to beat them. I think Celta are the team to rely on. Just for the fact they're catching them at a bad time, and from the little i've seen of them, they're capable of putting in a few big performances. Think they beat Barca earlier in the season.

Yes, but Fekir is not a central striker and if Lacazette was on the bench, they should have played a different system. Also, Cornet is fucking useless. French Ibe.

Disclaimer - this is only the 2nd time I've seen them this season, and the first time was for about 15 mins.

Lyon's defence is a mess.

Utterly shambolic.

There was me hoping they'd win this tie - only because I wrongly thought they'd provide more of a test should Utd make the final.

Why is Celtic-Utd playing tomorrow?

Because Europa League games are played on Thursdays. The actual question is why Ajax v Lyon is tonight which I think was answered on the last page (something to do with memorial day in the Netherlands).

I've heard of him but have never seen him play. I haven't heard of Onana, Riedewald, De Ligt, Tete or Younes and Kluivert and Westermann are the only familiar names on the bench.

I'm the same, never heard of them, first time I heard of Dolberg was a few weeks ago, I have no shame in admitting that  ;D

I honestly don't know the first thing about Dutch football, this game and the 2 games vs Schalke is the first time I've seen Ajax or likely any dutch team play in I don't know how long. When was the last time one played Liverpool? That's the last time I'll have seen a Dutch team probably!
