Without their two main sources of goals, some have suggested a draw would be a good enough result to take to Amsterdam for the second leg next Wednesday.But former manager Redknapp says Tottenham should feed off the energy of their fans and be on the front foot right from kick off.Theyre at home in the first leg, so they will want to have a go tonight, Redknapp told Tuesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.My philosophy would to be get after them early from the first whistle. Right from the off, get after them.Theyre obviously missing Harry and Son, two big losses, but Im sure whoever they play will step up to the plate tonight.Its going to be a great game and the crowd will be absolutely flying. These European nights at Tottenham are incredible, the atmosphere will be amazing.Redknapp has told Tottenham to ‘get after’ Ajax at home3

Kane and Son are a huge miss for Spurs, but Redknapp believes they could have a secret weapon to stun Ajax.The Dutch outfit have shocked just about everyone to reach the final four, after dumping out Juventus and defending champions Real Madrid en route to the semis.They also made it out of a group, unbeaten, which featured Bayern Munich and Benfica.But, having enjoyed success against a host of Europes most technically-gifted teams, Redknapp believes Ajaxs youthful side could be taken aback by a more direct approach. And, remembering how the Tottenham of yesteryear played with legendary goalscorer Bobby Smith leading the line, the former boss says Fernando Llorente could be the hero again following his winning goal in the quarter-final epic against Manchester City.Asked about how Pochettino is likely to set his team up, Redknapp added: Hell probably play one up top with Llorente, with Dele Alli playing in behind.Theyre a young side, Ajax, and its probably something different to what theyre used to, having a few balls thrown into the box more.The days of getting it out wide and crossing it into the far post are over. Now they want to pass it in, everything is passed along the floor.Fernando Llorente scored the crucial goal to send Spurs through to the semis3

There are very few balls thrown in to the box now and very few times you see the goalkeeper being clattered.I remember watching Tottenham play back in the 1960s with Bobby Smith against a Polish team, and in the first few minutes Bobby hit the goalkeeper and mangled him up in the back of the net.He never came for another cross or moved off his line for the rest of the night. I think the game ended up about 7-0, Spurs absolutely slaughtered them.
