Would you lose this semi in exchange for pipping lpool to the PL title and beating them in the CL final?

Damn right

Nobody is going to refuse that. Try would you give up the PL for beating them in the CL final with a goal from the half way line in the last second to win 4-3 after Liverpool were 3-0 up

Might be worth having them on the bench if they’re not the type of injuries that are likely to be aggravated. 5 subs allowed and the possibility of extra time

not worth the risk , more than ever it's now all about the prem.
fuck you UEFA and your bent refs.

I actually think that’s what will happen.

it would be the best season ever if it did.

My mood and confidence has improved since hearing Peps injury update

c’mon City.. get these feral bin dipping tramps smashed

I rather suspect it's mind games with Klopp. It's not Pep's style to push players when they're not quite right. He's cautious about that. Bench for Kyle and Kev, maybe?
No mention of Días in the press conference? I'm a bit divided about it, because the other three are looking so very, very competent at present.

I thought he said Dias trained today?

All I’ll say is ‘bring it home’

3-1, gundo and Gabby

I don’t see the logic in resting players for this one. We still have the chance to win the treble. Liverpool will play a full strength team. Losing this could give Liverpool the psychological edge to win everything.

Spot on, pick the team based on the medical science.

The front three probably picks itself in terms of the guys that are fresh - Jesus, Raz and Grealish but the rest of the team needs managed/assessed who can go again.

Ake deserves a start without a doubt.

We are probably looking at 6 positions picking themselves

Steffen
Cancelo
Ake
Grealish
Sterling
Jesus

The other 5 filled in with those that are physically good and ready to go again.

I fully expect us to keep on grinding despite our squad issues, one thing is guaranteed - Pep won’t put out a team he doesn’t think can win.
