This is it!

Our front four are firing,
our midfield is controlling,
our defence is resolute
and the opposition are tiring!

We just don't know how not to win right now so hopefully we can get the points to win the group and focus on the league.

Oh and Jota is joint top scorer in the CL!

Wednesday evening game. Chance to reach the CL knockout rounds with a win. But followed by an early away kick off against a decent Brighton side on Saturday.

Do we go full strength against Atlanta and rest players against Brighton? Personally, I think we'll see three or four changes against Atlanta.

I love football, but the game has moved on. It's physically (and mentally) more demanding on players. They need more recovery time. At least Klopp has expressed a duty of care. Think it's falling on deaf ear$$$$

I would not play a full side tomorrow no. Play Mo and Derek, give Sadio and Jota a rest. Midfield would be same unless Thiago is fit. Tsimikas should play in place of Robbo and Matip should be rested.

I'd bring Williams in for one of Fab or Matip. Probably Matip seeing as he's of a similar construction to Naby.

Salah can start. Possibly for Sadio?

Tsimikas on the left

Hopefully Shaq will be back. If so i'd start him as well.

So yeah a there's scope for a good number of changes and some squad management.

Unlesss of course Henderson, Thiago, Salah are all being saved for Saturday and we go with almost the same team as Sunday

[Shaggy]

I'd rest Matip, Robbo, Gini and Mane.

My team would be:

Alisson

Milner or Neco
R Williams
Fabinho
Tsimikas

Thiago or Milner
Jones
Shaqiri

Salah
Firmino
Jota

[Pablo]

Yep, we've got the dreaded Wednesday 8pm followed by Saturday 12:30pm double. I think that necessitates some rotation. From the normal first team I'd play those that are fresher, so Salah's nailed on to start.

Ones I fear are in the "red zone" and need resting:
Robertson
Mane
Wijnaldum

[Pablo]

I'd rest Matip, Robbo, Gini and Mane.

My team would be:

Alisson

Milner or Neco
R Williams
Fabinho
Tsimikas

Thiago or Milner
Jones
Shaqiri

Salah
Firmino
Jota

Yep spot on that

Tsimikas

Milner
Jones
Shaqiri

Salah
Taki
Derek

Save Robbo, Matip, Thiago, Hendo, Bobby , Jota & Mane for the weekend

[Mark79]

Is Shaqiri available again after the weekend?

I’d have Taki in. Maybe Derek too. Give Bobby or Jota a break.

[Ams12]

I’d for sure use the squad, 5 subs permitted too. Robbo deffo needs a rest. Half each for Matip & Fab at CB perhaps. Jota & Salah to start. Taki on for Firmino 2nd half. Hendo, Gini & Jones midfield 3 with shaq & milner on in 2nd half.

5 subs - maybe a half each for both Matip and Fab

[BigChief]

Any training pics to see the lesser spotted Thiago? Was Monday evening an evening off?

[S-RED]

Matip was front & centre at the presser, so i guess he is up for at least 45 mins
