Jermaine Jenas speaks out on Tottenham chances in the second leg against Ajax

Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has spoken out on Spurs chances in the second leg of Champions League semi-finals agaisnt Ajax Amsterdam. Mauricio Pochettino's side lost home game by one goal, when Doni Van De Beek scored for Dutch side in the first half. Jenas says Tottenham have through massive difficulties and the team will play a different game in Netherlands. "Mauricio Pochettino knows he got it wrong starting with a back three. It will be a different Spurs who face them at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday." Jenas hs written for Daily Mail.

"Most importantly there will be Son Heung-min back. To be honest, Tottenham never looked like scoring with Fernando Llorente and Moura up front on Tuesday.

"I actually though that Llorente played well, in that he held the ball up nicely and linked played. But you don’t get lots of movement from him and Moura didn’t offer enough variety.

"Given that you could see there was space on the right and that Kieran Trippier was struggling there, he needed to make runs into that area to stretch Ajax.

"Son will make all the difference. He is the perfect striker to lead the press on the opposition. He has so much energy. He has that all-important pace. In certain games you can find new levels. This is that game for Tottenham" he's added.

Tottenham will visit Amsterdam to face Ajax on Wednesday. Kick-off time at 20:00 (UK Time), 21:00 (CET).
