It's not a friendly, so it's not the time to experiment. If players get injured, they get injured. Injuries are part and parcel of football, they can happen at any time.
We are 5-0 up, Porto have their League title to try and win, a more likely target than coming to Anfield and scoring six without reply... and you say
"If players get injured, they get injured."...? so we lose Salah,mane and Firmino, how does that help us...? who do we replace them with..? and in The next round we draw Barca, Real Bayern or Juve where we need the talent,skills and goal scoring prowess of Salah, the trickery of Mane, or silky skills of Firmino all for playing them when we need not to....
"Injuries are part and parcel of football, they can happen at any time. " Very true, but surely management is also part of and parcel of football, and knowing when to risk players is a large part of man management
