We position ourselves very well going into the last couple games given the points Napoli dropped vs the other teams in the group. I like the idea if we can see off Napoli at home that we are in the knock-out stage and got 1st in the group. Plus allowing us to play more than likely a side with a mix of bench players and reserve player in Austria would be good rest period during what will be hectic month.
Exactly. It was a poor performance, especially when considering we were at home for this but it was 3 points with an inferior side. On paper we certainly don't have the squad to rotate frequently and maintain some sort of equilibrium but Klopp is doing it and it is working. Have to take your hat off to the man, he's taking risks and they are paying off.
As you have already said, beat Napoli on match day 5 and we qualify as winners, this also allows Klopp to give fringe players a run out and an opportunity to gain valuable experience in European football against Salzburg in match day 6. What Klopp is extracting out of this Squad is quite literally phenomenal when you think about it.
