Pre-Match: Liverpool V Porto (06/03/18 - 19:45) 2nd Leg, Round of 16 (Agg. 5:0)

Club statement says Gini and Woodburn will not be available for this one as they recover from illness.

Yeah,  f***in pish flaps, just read that, that fu**ed my side up 😁,

That gives Oxlade a berth, and Solanke on the bench .

Full strength for me, fielding a weakened side and potentially getting beat could ruin the confidence and momentum we've built up.

Strong side, give them another beating and take all that confidence with us and give the Mancs a beating too.

We've just had a 10 day break, for gods sake, no need to rest anyone.  If we go 2 up, then maybe, and besides, does anyone actually think that if your not picked for the first team, that you dont do anything, and have energy to spare?.  No no, they're working their arse off trying to be picked

The way i see it is that Porto will field a starting 11 filled with fringe players trying to get in to the team proper, they will be trying to empress flying into tackles... It is not so much about resting players,though that would help. It is more about avoiding injuries 

I'd show some respect to Porto & field our strong 11.. Make the necessary changes later on in the game...

Playing an important match before another important game will keep our sharpness & a reminder we cannot take our foot of the gas..

Robbo sat out training today so Moreno almost certain to get the start at left back. I would expect Gomez on the other side.  Sounds like he may be thinking of starting Salah on the bench as well.

Lots of comments about how easy this is going to be  I'm not convinced. You have to remember in the first leg, they had their top striker and probably their most creative midfield player out injured. If they are now fit, and they are gonna give it everything from the off, it might just not be the stroll in the park some are thinking. I think we have to start with our strongest 11, get at least 1 goal to sit them back on their heels a bit, then make changes later on if we feel the need.
Can't be too complacent, we'd be a laughing stock if they pulled it off wouldn't we. 

Think i'll go for a hard fought 3;1 with a few surprises thrown in.

If we could batter them  4 or 5 nil with their strongest side out, the Mancs won't be looking forward to seeing us arrive at old toilet next Saturday thats for sure. 

Karius

Gomez   Van Dijk   Lovren   Moreno

Lallana   Milner   Chamberlain

Salah   Firmino   Mane

Subs: Mignolet, Clyne, Robertson, Matip, Can, Solanke, Ings.

Four changes but still a strong team. Take the match seriously and get an early goal and then rest the front three ahead of United at the weekend. Job done professionally and respectfully. I know people want to play a virtual reserve side but win this match and we lay down a marker for the next round as well as extending our winning run.

Makes me sick to my stomach when I hear something like that mate! There’s too many scumbags out there taking advantage.

A couple of quick goals will knock the stuffing out of Porto after that it will be like a stroll around Anfield.

Exactly my train of thought,strongest side for me also,a 5-0 lead is a handsome one & while the likelyhood of these sticking 6 past us without reply may seem remote I certainly don't expect Porto to roll over & throw the towel in I fully expect them to at least have a go.
I appreciate we play utd  on Saturday but I just can't see the boss  fielding anything other than the core players
That's got us playing boss footie ,we've built up quite the momentum and i don't think he will want to unsettle that,get a few early goals then rest the  players.
3-1

Hope you get this sorted for you & your lad mate,absolute sh*t situation  to be in to say the least.

Appreciate that. Gutted

So very sorry to hear that Racer. My heart goes out to you and your boy.

Appreciate that. Gutted

Can you PM me mate..

Will be crossing fingers and toes for Racer and his lad tonight.

First competitive match I will miss in years as I will be on a plane to Melbourne, gutted about that.

Hoping when I touch down I will see a reds win of any margin, onwards and upwards redmen.
