    The temptation is to rotate, but I don’t think Klopp will make too many changes. It would be nice to see Lallana get a start, and surely Firmino could do with a rest. I hope we don’t get any injuries and we keep up the momentum.

    I can see Moreno, Matip, Gomez, Lallana starting this game.
    Maybe a change to 1/2 of the front 3 too.
    We don’t need to risk players needlessly.
    Could even play Mané for an hour and then bring on Salah.
    Can defo see changes for this game.

    I can see lots of rotation, hopefully it will not unsettle our rythm.

    This is a weird one winning is a good habit so I would like to see a team who is dynamic & up for it. We have to have the correct mindset look to score early at the same time we need to rest some players. I would rest VVD frimino robbo & Salah maybe give Mane 60 mins n Salah 30 mins. Look to keep a clean sheet & score a couple. Should be an easy game surely !

    Arsenal learnt a lesson resting players against Ostersunds and at one point were shitting themselves in the tie. Now I’m not for one minute saying we could find ourselves 4-0 down in the tie but we have to be careful because Porto are no mugs and must be given zero encouragement. As a result I think it will be a decent team Jurgen puts out hoping to rest a few main men.

    I can see some rotation to rest legs for the game against United.

    Bringing in Matip and Gomez for Van Dijk and TAA, for a start, while in midfield Milner for OX, and upfront Lallana for Mane or Salah (though they can come on later). And even Moreno could start.

    Around 4 or 5 changes should secure the result without any drama

    Shaksy I think I agree with you. Before I was like “lets rest as much as we can” now I think that could be counterproductive. Porto are coming into the with the mindset of playing for pride first. We have to have a good mindset and strategy and imagine the game is 0-0 as Porto are going to want to make up for what happened. they are going to give 110% for every tackle, pass and shot. That will mean we will have an intense game by default. Porto are good enough to smack our reserve team even at Anfield, lets not get too cocky lol. I would start with as good attack as possible and then aim to kill the game off in the first half. Once we get one or two goals it will severely demoralise any fantasy hopes Porto have and also kill their spirit with regard to them coming to Anfield to show some pride. Then naturally the intensity of the game will lessen and turn into a training match, anyways.

    The fear for me is that we put a shadow steam out and end up 3-0 down by halftime. If West Brom can smack us 3-1 at Anfield I would put it past Porto to do something similar…

    And NO im saying Porto are going to eat up a 5-0 lead lol but there’s no point in making what should be an easy exercise into a military exercise.

    Karius

    Gomez – Matip – VVD – Moreno

    Gini – Henderson – Lallana

    Salah – Solanke – Mane

    Ideal subs: Mane, Salah and VVD to come off once we get 1 or 2 goal lead 45 mins onwards.

    The big problem when you have a 5-goal advantage is motivating yourself to play at the highest level in the 2nd leg. That is why I believe some rotation (3 or 4 players) could be the solution as the new players should have more hunger than the regulars since they want to stake their claim for a place in the team e.g. Lallana, Milner, Gomez, Ings

    The best way to approach this game, rotation or not, is to finish off Porto in the first half. And ideally not play our top players for a full game, to keep them in even better shape for Saturday

    Really hope klopp and the team are not taking this second leg as being over like we all seem to be! Porto on their day can really cause an upset. Lets just focus on beating them and then we can think about the scum for a full 3 days after.

    After this we have at least 11 games (hopefully more) still left to play so the first team need to be in the best shape going into the business end of the season. Come on we cant lose by 5 or 6 goals tomorrow so wee need to use our squad but still go to with the correct mindset of winning & not conceding.

    If we’re not gonna rest/rotate players for a game that we are 5 up in and playing at home when are we gonna rest players?
    Not to mention we are to play Utd a few days later.

    I’m confident that the likes of Moreno, Matip, Lallana etc will be playing this game

    Concerned about injuries for this one. We can still put a very string team aswell with resting players.

    Huge game sat. We are 5 up , ideal time to rest some key players

    We be livid if any of the front 3 get injured in this

    Porto will be without Telles, Marega, Soares and Danilo. Four of their top players. Here’s my starting line-up:

    Karius
    Moreno (don’t want Robbo injured for Man U)
    Matip
    Klavan
    Gomez

    Wij
    Hendo
    Lallana
    Mane

    Ings
    Solanke

    Diamond 442. Why the hell not? Surely one of Ings/Solanke could score and just one goal will feel like a hat-trick to them.
