Is that nailed on?

If it goes to VAR it might take until Sunday.

Ederson needs to start

Yeah, I'm not sure about Steffen for this one, sometimes he's a bit hesitant

Concerned that some of the players might be in the red zone state. A couple of injuries due to fatigue will blow the league and possibly champs league.

He needs to be at a club where he’s playing every week at his age

Im sure we monitor all that. Pep wont jeopardize the league and champs league if there are guys needing a rest. Im fairly confident the players arent as knackered as you think.

I think we need to rotate for this. The CL & PL need to be the main focus and that's what we have a squad for. The Brighton game is more important IMO. The games on Sunday & Wednesday were quite full on, so I think Pep will make quite a few changes.

I don't get this. Pep did this last year against Chelsea in the semis. Why work this hard, make it all the way to the semi's, and then have an attitude that this is anything less than a huge deal??

But Jesus hates crosses.

Especially this time of year!

 

[train man]

Liverpool are favourites for all the reasons mentioned.
But not massive favourites.
And here's the rub - favourites don't always win football games.
So for once we might win as underdogs!

City still marginal favs on betfair, currently 13/8, scouse 15/8, draw 5/2

Pantilimon for me.
