---------------------------------------------

This is it!

Taking a 2-0 home win into the away leg means an away goal from us demand they score four and I don't see them doing that!

I expect Milner and Wijnaldum to start with the rest of the team unchanged.

---------------------------------------------

[Liverpool]

Would be nice to rotate the pack a bit as this is last game we have to do it, but we are pretty thin on the ground, will be at least 2 changes, max 4. Lovren, Gini, Milner and maybe Origi.

The last year that Tiger Woods won the Masters?

2005.

Ah yes forgot about them, here's an extreme changes team -


----------------- Alisson

TAA ----- Lovren ----- VVD ----- Robertson


Wijnaldum ----- Milner ----- Fabinho


Shaqiri -------- Sturridge -------- Origi

[banditos]

Start with our first choice front three and sub them once we get the away goal

[danperkins]

IMO Lovren, Milner, Gini & Origi will start

[Norbs]

No one looks tired so keep strong

[SB]

Millie for sure I’d say, possibly for Hendo & Lovren for Matip is a maybe, Gini could come in for Naby but I think he’s best suited to the European style.

The matches are coming every four days now, we need to rotate a little.

[Tee]

Keep Matip in the side and same midfield as yesterday, but reckon Milner and Gini will start

[Nicey]

I'd rotate Millie and Hendo until the end of the Season, Gini if fit obviously needs to start. Get the away goal then make 3 subs early doors. Hopefully Cardiff will lose against Brighton mid week and will be all but relegated by the time we play them

[Scratch]

Lovren will come back in for this one, and Gini for Naby I think. He may even rest Fab and go for his big game, tried and trusted, midfield 3 of Milner, Hendo and Gini. Front 3 unchanged.

If we get an away goal then we are home and dry I feel, so we'll hopefully see the likes of Firmino and one of Salah or Mane get subbed out for Shaq and Origi.

Heck, we might even see a change at RB to keep TAA fresh, maybe Milner slotting in there and Fab keeping his place.

It's just nice to have options.

[labourRed]

Yeah, start strong for this. Naby is the obvious rotation option given the games he's covered and we don't need to be overly offensive here.

We could definitely see Milner and Wijnaldum back in there and a rest for the front three if need be later in the game.

[Exiled_red]

I think Milner, Wijnaldum and Lovren might start, with Matip getting a rest and Keita plus one of the other two CMs getting a break too.

[ntto]

I expect Milner and Wijnaldum to start with the rest of the team unchanged.

---------------------------------------------

not sure we'd get away with 13 players in our starting line-up
