Benfica v Liverpool (A) CL 1/4 Final

[Irishnev]

Konate's error looks worse in retrospect but now we've won handsomely I'm going to double down on my original statement that he's playing much better and really growing into the role. That rickett is an aberration for me.

[BootRoom]

He could come on with a point to.prove. Diaz and Jota have to start.

I think having a "point to prove" is part of his current form issues. Looks like he's always trying to do to much and be the hero, especially when he's got possession in the box.

[Big-Red-Ed]

I'd be more concerned about the few times he needlessly jumped in taking himself out and leaving gaping holes behind. But he's still learning and so much of what he does is excellent

Mistake aside he had a very good game. Got swarmed on one other occasion but was a beast other than that.

Benfica v Liverpool (A) CL 1/4 Final

I thought he looked incredibly slow tonight, much more than usual.

Without Sadio and Mo plus he came on to a **** team second half performance. He’s always much better starting and linking up with those two…

[Venton]

Bobby has to start, he could be key to opening up chances…

Diaz isn't starting after playing 90 minutes tonight.

It'll be Bobby, Mane and Mo with Jota and Diaz on if required

Cool. Result is good, should have scored more from a few one on ones. But there’s no denying that the start to the second half was really sloppy and the way we were rattle once we conceded was concerning. Benfica really aren’t very good. And then there’s Mo, and I’ll get **** for this but I think he should start on the bench on Sunday. His form isn’t as good as our other options.

I think you are right, he might well be benched. Klopp doesn't seem to be the kind of man to shy away from a big decision as a few of our players have found out (as Coutinho, Can and Sakho found out).

Unpopular opinion maybe, but accurate. Doubt he’ll get benched but on current form he’s not starting in that front three.

[danperkins]

Don't think we expended too much energy tonight. Got complacent at 2 nil and mistake by Konate got their tails up. Diaz was great again tonight when he got the ball. Very poor 2nd half, we couldn't do the basics for about 30 mins but should have been 4 or 5 up. Benfica are bang average, tie is done.

Mo is a bit of a worry at the moment, form is way off. Whether is being over played in AFCON or contract negotiations dragging on... everything seems off with him. Thought this was a great opportunity to get in the scorsheet again an average side.

[Tribute]

Yeah, if you exclude the three goals the finishing had been poor

Could have been six on a normal day… missed a few relatively easy chances
