I hope he twists his ankle or catches a flu in early June. This guy can do with a couple of months rest.

Yeah, that would do too.
I get what youâre saying, and yes, that would be selfishly good for us.
But letâs just remember that Andy is a proud Scot and the captain of Scotland. A nation which last qualified for the Euros in 1996 and the World Cup in 1998.
Itâs been a generation since theyâve last played in a major international tournament. And when they do qualify, theyâve never made it past the first round. Thatâs what theyâll be aiming for.
So though Iâd love Andy to rest as a Liverpool fan, from a personal perspective, I hope he has an amazing tournament.

Heâs fantastic.
I donât remember a lot of our players who played so much, in such a physically demanding position, but yet coped so consistently well.
Hopefully it doesnât affect his career long term, maybe burning out earlier than normally. Hopefully next season with more stability in CB positions, we can give him more rests.
Weâll see if thatâs with Tsimikas or someone else.

Thatâs why the wishful injury or illness.
I know he will not back down. I know Klopp will not encourage him to take it easy.
Letâs hope at least he survives the summer unscathed. I think Klopp will give him few extra weeks before returning to training.

True.
I remember him giving an interview where he shared that he was playing through injury for long periods. Got a horrible feeling that it may catch up with him at some point in the future.
Letâs hope that his genes enable him to play at this level of intensity for a long time.

Best performance for a long time yesterday. My man of the match.

Thatâs a critical issue @Zoran . The way he has been playing most of Liverpool career, I feel even small injuries will snowball/take longer to heal.
Thing is they probably wonât go beyond the group so itâs not as bad as say someone who reaches the latter stages.

Four of the third-placed teams go to R16 
God he needs a rest, his performances have dropped off a cliff.
Very good first half.

Thankfully the remaining games have 5-7 days gaps between them. Hopefully thatâs enough to see us over the line. Maybe, maybe, Klopp will allow Tsimikas 10 mins in those games as well.
My lungs burnt just watching thisâŚ
He was immense last night amongst many.

He did that a few times if I remember. His tackling was spot on if I remember rightly.

Robbo didnât look as knackered last night. I donât think he couldâve managed to chase Rashford back like that a few weeks ago.

Reminds me of that manic press against City.

I donât know what will happen against Burnley and Crystal Palace but this interview made me look at the bigger picture. If this is the culture that Klopp has engrained into Liverpool, if this is something that is present throughout every age category, something that can be kept up even after he and these players leave, then sign me up for another hundred years of supporting the club. I probably wonât live that long, if age, sickness or something else doesnât get me, they surely will!

He looked more tired tonight than he did against Man Utd, heâs played almost every minute so you canât blame him.
