Looking at the team everyone is picking it looks like Salah...Mane and Firmino have to play every single game from now until the end of the season in order to have a chance of top four....as we are setting to look tired already this for me is a big ask.... Might have to either play a weakened team in Champions League or Premier League for me otherwise another burnout is a cert.... Yeah it’s be much better if we could rotate a lot and still have a chance at top 4 like Everton...oh wait

Well Southampton was a cruise so they shouldn't be tired. I expect they'll enjoy getting out the cold too. I'd play Ox with Milner/Henderson in behind to keep it tight.
Wonder how Porto's players will cope in 2 weeks...

Roberto has spoken..... "I don't know if Porto are going to be afraid but we are going to make their life difficult and make them suffer".I sincerely hope he doesn't regret saying that.

And then factor in Klopp's training rigours, yes tiredness is a factor here, and it could well raise its ugly head 2nd half tonight, but maybe we'll have it wrapped up by then, says he hopefully. Wonder if Klopp'o has a plan for that in the 2nd half?

Well our midfield should certainly not be tired, Wij, Hendo and Milner not played much recently, so should be fresh. Firmino and Salah the most at risk of it I guess

Ox, Lallana and Gomez might come handy in the second half?

We will soon find out tonite how tired we are or not when we get into the second half...
Always felt it was much harder for an English club to win the champions League than a continental one as our league is much more physically demanding...Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Juve and PSG nine times out of ten have there domestic league sewn up in March so when we get to quarters, Semis and finals they are all fresh as daisies...don't forget the winter break they get...our Clubs play more over xmas and New Year, play harder games right up until last two weeks of season and are shattered...no wonder we never win it hardly... I am not reading, hope others are doing the same, just ignore him and don't read or you would wish to respond.
