Me: I can understand the trepidations, but surely Klopp knows best.

FFS Jürgen. I was hoping to give my heart a rest tonight.

Happy enough with that lineup. Should have plenty to see the tie out.

Pep won’t have the luxury of rotating that much tonight.

Bit surprised Virgil is rested, nice to see Origi make the bench.

Why Milner in midfield? I don’t understand it. Why not give Jones a try?

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gündogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Bernardo i Foden.

No rest for the wicked :laughing:

Wouldnt be surprised with that lineup if we see a bit of 4-4-2 action tonight. At least out of possession.

Me too. Talk about motivation for Benfica. :grimacing:

Necessity I’m afraid. Klopp is having to balance competing on three fronts against top opposition. this is one of the few times we’ll be able to rotate, and being as we play twice a week every week from here until the end of May, we’re going to have to take some risks with rotation where we can.

Assuming we make it through tonight, if we’re able to get a good healthy lead in the first leg against Villareal, we’ll likely rotate heavily in the second leg there, too. Needs must.

Fuck me Milner AND Hendo in same XI…May as well terminate the Ox’s contract. Sakes…ok he’s trash and he gets a lot of stick from everyone but you’d rather see him in there than Milner

You always do left nostril, right nostril.

Left nostril, right nostril.

Left.

Right.

And so on…

Klopp taking a bit of a risk to make sure we go to the FA Cup Final too. I’m ok with that.

It’s fine…with the exception of Milner.

Yep, exactly this. After tonight, we’ll be able to field our best xi on Saturday, and Pep will have to rotate his squad, there’s no fucking way he’ll have them playing three intense games in the space of a week. The cunt.

Hopefully it’s okay.

If we have problems by HT, make 2-3 subs immediately.

I’m also wondering about Taki

Milner will use his dark magic and frustrate Benfica.

Good news, Rafa Silva is out for Benfica, not even on the bench.
