Interesting how strong we go with our injuries this season and Spurs away On Sunday taken were already qualified.
Just Listening to Klopp’s interview on Sky sports news . One reporter suggesting the fight wasnt there in certain games , Klopp called him out to name them Returned after a pause sheepish possibly Forest . Think Another asked is his he scared of Napoli Asked is the team in decline Asked about the Leeds goal keep him awake at night or more is just the Leeds goal keeping him awake , which he replied, he wakes up to go the toilet at his age off 55 , but Leeds goal did and was the only time
Need to not risk anyone in this one. Spurs on Sunday is a must win. I’d start Kelleher, Philips and Konate with an eye on playing Konate on Sunday. Ramsey and Kostas full backs midfield of Milner, Ox and Jones Carvalho, Nunez, Harvey be good to beat them but it’s essentially a dead rubber.
I'm not sure at this stage that 3 days more rest will necessarily benefit any of them, they need to play themselves back into form. That team above loses and heaps more pressure on going into a game we could easily lose. My take is we need to go for the win and then go for the big win. The CL is essentially our season now.
I'd go somewhere in between. We're not topping this group so we can rest a few but I don't want a hammering either.
What is the requirement tonight? From last week my understanding was away goals counted in a head to scenario, that would mean 3 nil is enough, the official site said 4 nil is required.
If it's not tiredness that's dragging us down this season then it's a much bigger problem and I'm not willing to accept that just yet so I absolutely think every few extra days rest will help.
The tiredness affecting us is more mental than physical. Ironically, I hope/think the World Cup might refresh some of our players (even the ones playing in it). The likes of Kelleher and Ramsey can play next week v Derby. I'd give Robertson and Fabinho a rest ahead of Spurs away, probably bring in Milner for Trent on Sunday. Konate for Gomez tonight to give him match practice. Alisson Trent Van Dijk Konate Kostas Henderson Thiago Salah Firmino Elliott Nunez Ox, Jones and Carvalho to be brought on early enough.
Could have drank in the Albert all day, stumbled onto the pitch and played better than Fab. And I'm shit at football sober.
Spurs with a late winner. Was thinking Frankfurt would've been nice draw! Marseille missed a sitter just before that which would have sent them out. Fine margins.
