Liverpool vs FC Porto - CL Last 16 (2nd Leg)

[Mark79]

So a Porto player decides he's had enough and runs his studs down Virge's achilles. Virge's out for the season. Sounds good to everyone right?

Great point. In fact, I'd be up for never fielding any of our first teams players ever again. Just to guard against any ridiculous hypothetical situation that can possibly be dreamt up.

[Mark79]

Say we make to the CL final. You all want us to send our players to Kiev?

So the pilot decides he's had enough and lands the plane into the face of the Carpathian mountains. Sounds good to everyone right?

You lost me at mor

I hope we dont play VVD in this and keep him for the Mancs match. Surely we can get by without him for this. Id go Matip and Lovren or Klavan

[Fosterbloke]

Like Klopp said, this is live across Europe so we have to show some respect to Porto in our team line up.

[Assassin]

Rest the three roadrunners. Rest Hendeson, he cant play 3 games in week. Rest Trent and Robbo

Rest Firmino, Henderson, Salah, Robertson, Trent and VVD.

[Bender]

Sod giving any of the players a break.....the team has momentum now.....after tonight the next game is on Saturday,enough time for the players to recoup.....if anything make changes maybe at HT or around the 65/70 min mark.

[S-RED]

Karius
Gomez - Matip - Klavan - Moreno
Oxlade - Hendo - Milner
Salah - Firmy - Mane

[Pablo]

You rest a few of the key players, but you keep them on the bench, just in case disaster happens. Simple.

[The_weatherman]

I understand the point about playing VVD, but he was having some injury concerns when he arrived, if he is rested I think it's a sensible decision. But either way, I totally trust Klopp, his rotation has been excellent.

[Angryred]

I think Klopp is right to go full on with the team to get the tie out of the way early in the first half then take off the heavy guns in mind of the game against the scum.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I think we should just get the game won. United played last night so it isn't like we'll be at a huge disadvantage, 1 goal and Porto need to score 6, we can rotate in midfield like we usually do without much problem.

I'd go;

Karius

Trent Matip VVD Moreno

Henderson
Lallana Wijnaldum

Mane Salah Ox

If we've done the business and scored before HT, bring Salah, Mane and VVD off.

I think Gomez, Lovren, Can, Milner, Firmino and Robertson all start on Saturday so they get full rests with the above 3 getting 45 mins rest. Leaving only Karius and maybe Ox playing full games.

Some big players missing for them again -
