Liverpool vs Ajax - Champions League Group D (20/21 - Game 5)

[BigChief]

Must rest most of the first team squad next week. I'd play:

Kelleher (give him more valuable CL experience)
Neco Rhys Koumetio Tsimikas
Cain Clarkson Shaqiri (or Ox for 1st comeback game)
Minamino, Glaztel, Origi

Subs:
Adrian, Van den Berg, O'Rourke, Larouci, Longstaff, Stewart, Hardy, Millar etc.

Yes please.

QUIII VEEN

I asked a colleage and he said “f****d if I know, I’m from Dublin”

[Cormack74]

Can we actually give some players a rest for the game v the upronounceable Danes?

I only ask because clearly CL squads are already named and not limitless, so I'm wondering if we will have to pick people even if we'd rather not because there's no one else fit and available?

Yes, easily. In addition to the named 25 man squad, you also get an unlimited B list of U21 players. We've currently got about a dozen on ours, including a few of the lads who played last night. Curtis Jones, Neco and Rhys.

He said something about two types of Irish and about people in Dublin waving union flags when the queen visited and that not going down well with the rest of Ireland.

Ah had no idea. That is handy.

To be honest that is surprising and but ‘those days’ for outrage at such things should be in the past

I doubt that Klopp would do this but I don't think I would even make the first team player travel (aside from those coming back from injury who need game time). The game means nothing I would rather lose 5-0 or so than risk injuries or knackering the guys we have left.

Don't think it will be the kids first 11, i expect a few of the benchwarmers to get some match fitness (Origi, Shaq-if-fit, Tsmikas, Adrian,) and maybe a couple of first teamers to play 45 casual minutes each, just to give the kids that do play some guidance.

But if it was me, I'd be sending the U21 squad, it's a dead game and an opposition win will not affect the other 2 clubs, their future is in their own hands.

No I was including the likes of Minamino, Origi, Tsimikas etc as although senior players they aren't really first teamers this year, when the first team guys are knackered these are still not really getting minutes. Anyone who might be on the way back from injury (Thiago, Naby, Shaq), this is definately a game for them. I was more meaning anyone who you would expect to be starting the game before or after probably shouldn't travel. I imagine the starting 11could have between 3 and 7 senior players (largely dependent on people coming back from injury) with the rest being kids
