Can we afford to rest Rodri ?

Or do we play him for 65 mins and sub him then assuming we still have a two goal aggregate cushion at that point

Have to rest him for Anfield

Let's give Bobb and Lewis an outing with Kovacic and Nunes depending on injuries.

Save some energy to stuff the scousers.

Have to rest him for Anfield

The issue being that Kovacic is also a must for Anfield and is prone to niggles that he may pick up playing Wednesday.

Can we go into this with a Rico & Nunes double ?

Can we recall Kalvin from West Ham at such short notice to “bolster” our midfield :-D

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

No chance Pep takes a chance on this and makes big changes

Can see Bobb starting for Doku and Gvardiol for Ake

 

[ealing blue]

They were clogging our players in the first leg. I'd definitely rest Rodri and possibly Stones.

 

[alexmcity]

Players who are guaranteed to play: Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Nunes, Alvarez, and one from Doku and Bobb.

Guess Gvardiol is ready for 60 minutes, as he has been training for several days now.

Players who are highly likely to be rested: Stones and KDB. Maybe Bernardo, too.

Players who are likely to be rested or to play only 60-70 minutes: Ake, Walker, Foden, Rodri.

I think Haaland will start again and play 70 minutes.

Ederson
Walker (70 min)
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Nunes
Foden
Alvarez
Doku/Bobb
Haaland

Bench: Ortega, Ake, Stones, Rodri, KDB, Bobb/Doku, Bernardo, Lewis...

 

[Damanino]

well they need to come out and try to score unless they want to defend our 3-1 lead?

but that also means they need to get the ball off of us meaning aggressive pressing and aggressive tackles. lets hope ref wont allow that as last game ref was happy to let them kick us every 5 mins.
