And his legs are gone as the First 15 minutes at Newcastle proved, replace with Kush instead :0)

His legs have gone? Fucks sake did you drop your brain when you invaded the pitch at Brighton. John has never been the fastest but his covering, marking, control, passing, tackling and transitioning have always been in strength and which he showed for 90 mins on Saturday- plus it was his first game back after several months out.
 
A night when you need your big players to stand up and be counted.

Erling is paid like a world superstar, wants to be classed as one but bar the last 20 mins at Anfield he's been largely awol for 3 months. Go out there and do it.

Rodri also is a talisman for us. These are the nights he needs to be prominent and prove he is the leader of the squad. Ruben & Bernardo the other key leaders. Go out there and do it.

If it were me I'd play Khusanov at right back to deal with Vinicius pace, and play Gonzalez alongside Rodri to give us a solid base to work from.

Being the eternal pessimist (without the benefit of a few pints down me neck) the main thing that worries me is the level of confidence on here that we'll do em. It reminds of the pre match thread v United at OT. I'll take a boring 0-0 draw now please Bob.

...and the game at United was after a cup win at Newcastle..

But we had no defence back then: Nunes, Dias, Guehi, RAN and O'Reilly didn't start. They played at Anfield and we won.

It is not likely that the tie will be decided today. If we avoid a red card, a very bad result is highly unlikely.

Good points - we've got so many options and that means it's impossible to guess what Pep will choose.

Erling should play in order to keep Rudiger fully occupied, and hopefully get him sent off.
