Back to the epl against good ol Bournemouth.

I want 3rd guys im greedy i want us to finish abocve Spurs and get closer to 2nd.

We've got a week gap from this match to the next so i would hope Klopp fields a strongish side.

I would give Mane a rest and Clyne to play instead of TAA.

Our midfield will need a bit of rotation so possibly i would rest Milner.

I want Salah to beat "Mr no goal Kane" so i hope he starts and bags a couple.

Common Redmen 4-0!!!!!

Although we're in a very good position to finish in the top 4, we still need to win a few games, so I wouldn't rotate too much. But resting players is key at this point in the season, so we must rest one or two players. This is what I'd play:


                                              Karius

                    Clyne.     Lovren.      van Dijk.     Moreno

                                           Henderson
                           Chamberlain.     Wijnaldum

                    Salah.              Firmino.             Woodburn


If we have a good result early on, we can rest Firmino, Salah etc.
Anything but a win will be a bad result here. Bournemouth have absolutely nothing to play for, while we just need to win our home games to finish safely at 4th.

4 nights sleep, 3 training sessions at Melwood, and no travel. Only change will be Henderson you'd imagine. If we win this we might leave a few on the bench for the WBA game so they're fresh for the first leg against Roma.

No need to rotate anything this week. Get the 3 points and don't take any risks, save that Sh*t for the games around the cl semis. Still need 2 wins minimum for me.

Klopp can't exactly rotate the Fab three too much, as the Alternative are Ings and Solanke. I hope Salah doesn't burn himself out, as he has played out of his skin this season.

It might be worth giving Woodburn a run out, second half, for Mane, if we are comfortably ahead.

Hendo in for Milner probably also. Ox has showed recently he is pushing for a regular starting place in the first eleven also, so Jurgen can chop and change in midfield how he sees fit.

Other than that, it's as you were..

Prediction
3-0

I don't think Jurgen will rotate too much this week, as he said himself you can't afford wrap players up in cotton wool, they lose their sharpness and their rhythm.
It would be nice to have top 4 wrapped up as early as possible though so we can concentrate on the CL, Southampton and Chelsea kick off in 15 minutes, it would be great if Southampton can do us a favour by taking points off Chelsea.

Nervy last 20 minutes coming up

Edit - 2-2

Oooops  3-2 to Chelsea now-

What a freakin collapse...

Chelsea will be buzzing after this comeback, we've got to make sure that we don't give them any more encouragement later on this afternoon. We need to do the business against Bournemouth.
We've still got to go to Stamford Bridge remember.

If we win the next three league games pal, it will be done and dusted by the Time we go to Stamford Bridge.

Their only chance of getting top four now, is if we gift them a chance by dropping points in our coming games. Maybe the boys will be a bit fatigued after Tuesday's heroics, so we still have to earn our crust yet.

Karius, Trent, VVD, Lovren, Robbo, Hendo, Gini, Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Firmino

Looks a strong side.

Strong side that.

Need to win this now after that Chelsea comeback.
