This is it!

They scored some crackerjack goals against El Sadd but we have a defense they'll find harder to get through and their defense is weak.

Respek foresterbloke. So much so I've tried hard to spell your name correctly this time. You're an est legend now. Imagine being the joint reason for winning us a CL and soon the league. Klopp had something to add too but these threads are the money melons for me.

Are we expecting a full strength team or us to mix it up and give players like Origi, Keita, Ox and Lallana starts in this?

I would expect some changes, but we also don't want to make this trip and not win the ****ing thing.

Edit, I suppose it's getting harder to rotate at the back though.

[Fosterbloke]

I hope we go full strength, win this, then win the league so we can rightly proclaim -

Champions of England, Champions of Europe*, Champions of the World.


* Assuming we haven't been eliminated.

IMO a mix, gets squad player more mins and keeps up the rotation we need. Our mix should be strong enough to win this.

We'd still be the Champions of Europe until the next team (us) win it.

There'll be plenty of changes for Monterrey, 6 or 7 i reckon. Williams may play at RB. Keita, Ox, Lallana, Shaqiri and Origi should start.

Forgot about Williams, we should see some changes, maybe Shaq and Origi, they seem to work well together.

Are Monterrey any good?

It would be a bit embarrassing to rest a bunch of players and get knocked out.

Hopefully we have someone on it

But I would expect some difference in class tbh.

They do boast Vincent Janssen though, didn't he appear for Spurs a season or two back? And the twin brother of Funes Mori who played for Everton.

Scored some cracker goals but total **** in defence.

It would be kinda annoying if we don’t use the likes of lallana etc, given we didn’t leave them behind for the cup game.
