Full strength. Make a statement before Spurs

Ali

Trent
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Fabs
Naby
Thiago

Mo
Mane
Diaz

could see an argument for Virgil or Robbo getting a rest
 
Rest Robbo and give Thiago / Naby 60 mins only.

Rest Diaz as well - I want to see him fresh and ready to show Spurs what they missed out on next weekend.
 
Clearly Mo, Thiago and Trent will return. I'd bring Konate back in too. In fact it's going to be the same lineup as in the first leg (though personally I'd rest Robbo).

...................................... Ali

Trent .......... Konate .............. VvD ......... Tsimikas

.................................... Fabs

..................Hendo ..................... Thiago

Mo ........................... Mane ......................... Diaz

We have 5 days to Spurs no need to rest anyone for this. However with 5 subs, and hopefully everything going to plan, I'd bring off Fabs, Thiago, Mane, Mo and Diaz from 60-70 mins and 80 mins for the last change.
 
Same, I’d give Robbo the rest if Tsimikas is fit. I also think Jota needs some game time for sharpness, I’d try to fit him in too.

But as we’ve seen Klopp seems to be going with the big guns and very little rotation in the big games.
 
Alisson

Trent
Konate
Matip
Tsimikas
Fabinho
Henderson
Thiago
Salah
Origi
Jota

It’s going to be the last time we can rest van Dijk. Diaz looked knackered by the end of the Newcastle game and Robbo may need a rest too.
 
Adrian (Chiles)

Four kids you've never heard of

Three midfielders bluebell thinks we should sign.

Minamino Origi David Wagner
Are you upset you’ve not arranged a trip to Paris and want everyone else to miss out?
 
I've already booked my camper van on the ferry dude. Gonna be doing donuts on the grass outside the Eiffel tower giving cans of bootlejooose out.
Have you canned it up yet? I must admit I haven’t ordered this months batch yet and wouldn’t mind trying it. I’m cheating on you tomorrow with some goose island ipa.
 
Yeah man. I'll drop some off, been up the fucking wall with pubs etc
Cool. Cheers dude. I was gonna order on Friday but seen you were busy with the beer festival and pubs. Plus I was out Saturday and didn’t wanna miss the delivery.
 
Villarreal manager Unai Emery admits his side need to play the perfect game if they are to shock Liverpool to reach the club’s first Champions League final.
Trailing 2-0 from a one-sided first leg, the former Arsenal boss was reminded their opponents had lost just three of 56 matches in a quadruple-chasing season.
“I didn’t want to hear those details but I did,” he said. “It is a difficult task but we are working on the game.
“We need to play a perfect game. We need to find our excellence in certain things and maybe achieve something no one has achieved, which is this kind of comeback.
“We will try to find some weak spots, something that no one has done this season.”

Liverpool completely dominated the midfield battle at Anfield last week with ThiagoAlcantara, in his best form since joining the club at the start of last season, the man of the match.
Emery accepts they cannot allow that to happen again.
“They played a tremendous game at Liverpool,” he said of the Reds’ midfield.
Thiago was Man of the Match, Fabinho has been fantastic at Liverpool.
“They are two players who can play really good football but they have the work rate and intensity and they were at a world-class level at Liverpool [last week].
“If the player of the match is again a Liverpool player we will be out for sure but if it is one of ours we can be there.”

There was some positive news for Emery with striker Gerard Moreno, who missed the first leg, back after injury, although they may be missing former Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma who has a foot injury.
“Gerard trained with the rest of the group today,” said the Villarreal boss.
“I don’t know to what extent he will be fit for contention. We will not take any risks.”
