FC Porto (A) - Weds 17 April (2000) - European Cup 1/4 final 2nd leg

[Gethin]

2-0 up

 

Would be happy with the same XI from Sunday starting but I don't think Hendo will be risked from the start so Milner instead

[Jarg Armani]

I’ve got a feeling it might be Fab who misses out, just cos he was blowing hard and looked knackered at the end.

 

On the other hand I can’t quite imagine Klopp putting hendo back to the 6.

 

Gini will play. It might even be a return to the doomsday midfield.

[Nerik]

I say Milner and Gini for Hendo and Keita. 

[Gethin]

So what we're saying is

 

Allisson

The Back 4

Some random midfielders

The Front 3

 

[Bootle Buck]

I would be tempted to start with the same team as Sunday get a goal or two and then bring Gini and Milner on when the job is done.

If we're in a position to make "resting" subs I'd be taking VVD & 2 of the front 3 off

I'd like to see mignolet here, he deserves his chance

 

Moreno is another one who should play

[Andy-oh-six]

You’d think there is a good chance that both Wijnaldum and Milner could come in to the keep the midfield fresh. Or will it just be Wijnaldum in for Hendo/Fabinho and Milner kept in reserve for the last 25? The only choice to be made is in midfield and (I suppose) also whether or not he wants to bring in Lovren back in to deal with the strength of Marega better.

[Ombudsam]

Pick whatever. Tie’s done.

[downunder]

Pick whatever. Tie’s done.

I wish I had your confidence! Should be ok but I am still nervous as I was until the 91st minute v Chelsea!

[Hightown Phil]

Rest one of Henderson and Fabinho and then do the other one on Sunday.

 

Inclined to give one of the front three a rest and play Origi but maybe that’s one for half time.

Yeah lets score before we start resting any of the front 3. They score first and it becomes nervy.

[stressederic]

No Lovren in the squad for tomorrow as he's ill.

[Jarg Armani]

No Lovren in the squad for tomorrow as he's ill.

 

Haha unreal. He's gonna end up like Howard Hughes or something this c***.

[Hassony]

Wow, he's worse than Leo that lad

[Boca]

He really needs to be moved on in the summer. Totally and utterly unreliable.

[Molby]

No Lovren in the squad for tomorrow as he's ill.

this is a wind-up right?

[kop205]

No Lovren in the squad for tomorrow as he's ill.

 

f***ing hell.

 

Is there an absence management procedure we can put him through?

 

Prior to this latest sniffle he's missed 109 days this season. Gomez has only missed 120 with a broken f***ing leg.

[Swipe]

Haha f*** sake.

 

Laughable at this stage.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Stick him in a bubble.

[guernseygareth]

And fire it into the sun?

[Maldini]

We need to teach him to wash his hands after taking a piss

[Rusty Shackleford]

He’d only burn his hands under the tap. Someone should be assigned to clean him up with a wet wipe.
