Why though, wasn't Klopp winging about too many games then he goes and plays half of his over worked players in a meaningless game, it makes him look like a bit of an idiot in my opinion and weakens his arguments about 5 subs etc. If there was a chance of Midtjylland affecting the final group standings then I'd kind of understand it but there isn't.
I just don't see Klopp disrespecting the CL and fielding a full team of youngsters. He will undoubtedly field a mix of young and established players, if for no reason other than it's a good opportunity to give those established players some minutes to get them back to match fitness since they are coming back from injury (ie. Keita, Trent) or get so little playing time otherwise (Origi, Minamino).
Even when Bayern when to Madrid, they still started players like Alaba, Sule, Costa and Sane.
