Benfica (H) - UCL Quarter Final 2nd leg, Wed 13th Apr 2022 (8:00pm)

[Supremolad]

People whinging that Klopp has rested too many players for this seem to forget that after the Man City game on Saturday, we have Man Utd on Tuesday. 

 

Utd may be shite but they would definitely raise their game on Tuesday to try and wreck our title ambitions. Tonight is our best chance to rest some key players ahead of the FA cup semis and another very big game 3 days after. Especially considering that we are 3-1 up to Benfica from the away leg.

We've had weaker starting 11's as our best 11 but with what's at stake I'm still a bit...

It's a difficult situation because pretty much every game after this one is must win and the game Sunday was the most intense of the season. It's just that when you rotate in such a stage as the Champions League quarters, you leave yourself open to karma and other crap like that.

First goal will be huge tonight. Madrid's game should serve as a warning not to try coasting into the semis.

Seems risky to play a weakened defence against a side that's absolute strength is scoring. I'm a bit more nervous than I was before I saw the side. Klopp has faith in his squad though.

I bet your weather is still better than our shitty weather even if you are in the depths of Winter. Expect to see the Kop freezing to death.

Its a chilly wet autumn morning here..up and ready! Thanks to the daylight saving heads-up, I’m on time. Gotta start work at 9am, so extra time is off the agenda of proceedings today. STRAIGHT FORWARD DOMINATION REDMEN

[bossy]

Just get through to the next round by hook or by crook.

Klopp said the side is based on who is fresh/in a good way after weekend.

 

So clearly the weekend and of course all the many games (inc all that international shite) that our players have played recently means that he feels this is the best team hw can put out.

 

As long as it gets the job done then that is all that matters and if it does we will certainly be in a better position going into a run of yet more big games in a short space of time.

 

I think we will be ok.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

True! - Nervous, I was, and am, so terribly nervous...

[bizzle10]

Trust Klopp knows what he is doing id have gone strong tonight rotated at the weekend with one eye on mancs game on tuesday.

Listening to Klopp then, he knows this game is far from over he wouldn't have put this team out if he thought they'd struggle.

I think the caveat is ‘fit and firing for 90 minutes’ - with 5 subs allowed, if things are a bit flat at half time, and / or we’re threatened, the cavalry can arrive earlier than the standard 60 minutes.

 

Yes We Can.

Come on Redmen!

Wonder what's going on with Elliot as you'd ha e thought he'd get a run out here and seems nowhere near the team since returning..guessing they feel he's just nit ready yet

Don't know how true it is but he's back training with the reserves / u23 whatever they are called nowadays, supposedly needs to play more games regularly  a few minutes here and there not working for the coaches.

[Captain]

Decent bench though!

I'm saying that's the likely alternative, not that Jota is prime Messi on the right, relax, mate.

Pleased Kostas is playing, but surprised no Vvd and no Trent as well as no Robbo though.
