Really? I think today was as much about getting through the game without any injuries as it was about getting a win.
I'd much rather take a draw today and a win on Wednesday than a win today and a loss against Roma because we've got a squad on their knees.
Yes really.I'd much rather take a draw today and a win on Wednesday than a win today and a loss against Roma because we've got a squad on their knees.
Whether it's the players or the attitude I don't know but we had no energy anywhere today. We should at least have tried to blow them away for 30 mins then fannied around.
If we had rested firmino and Salah then fair enough but we didn't and we still didn't win. Double fail.

Rest Firmino and Salah and used who instead? We only had Solanke on the bench.Whether it's the players or the attitude I don't know but we had no energy anywhere today. We should at least have tried to blow them away for 30 mins then fannied around.

I'm all for playing at 80% today if it means we escape injuries and we're fresher for Weds.

Play solanke, ings and Woodburn.I'm all for playing at 80% today if it means we escape injuries and we're fresher for Weds.
They can score zero equally as well as the a team playing at 80%.
Our game relies on pressure and speed on the changeover of possession.
You can't do that at 80%. Which is why we struggle to close down games when we are winning and want to stroll through to the end.
I am not intending any criticism of any individual player.
It's just the way I see how we play
Woodburn played for Wales last night. Ings played anyway. Solanke is literally our last available striker.
I wouldn't have been disappointed to have played kids, but we're not 100% safe for top four yet, so I agree with Klopp's choice to go with a strong squad and try to get the job done.

Didn't realise he played for Wales - wasnt he on the bench or did I read that wrong?I wouldn't have been disappointed to have played kids, but we're not 100% safe for top four yet, so I agree with Klopp's choice to go with a strong squad and try to get the job done.
Just having a moan as that was pants.

This is Liverpool. We're likely to lose against Brighton but beat Chelsea.
Am I right in thinking that if we beat Chelsea we guarantee top four?
If we get 3 more points we will get top 4 based on GD more than likely (we have +18 on chelsea). If we draw with Chelsea it’ll be the same. If we beat Chelsea then it’s ours Am I right in thinking that if we beat Chelsea we guarantee top four?

Normally, but it's clear our focus is on the CL. Even more so given the injuries. Players know it's likely to be one of the biggest games of their life, and when so many are injured it also means they're likely to play. So they want to avoid the risk of getting hurt, and save the energy for the CL. Am I right in thinking that if we beat Chelsea we guarantee top four?
