Any idea what's gonna happen to our team versus Stoke?
Trying to think of a line up that protects our team for the CL. Whilst still being competitive.
Karius
Lovren VVD Klavan
Clyne Milner wijnaldum Moreno
Salah ings woodburn
Using clyne and Moreno as wing backs would keep Moreno far away enough from the defence.
Using Curtis Jones may help too. He was on the bench V Everton.
Salah will play some part as he wants the Golden boot so no point in saying rest him. He will come off after 70mins as we then go on to concede 2 goals.
Other than that I've no idea what's gonna happen with our midfield. No Can Lallana Ox is a bit of a kick in the dikk

We have and will play the team which started on Tuesday, we need to win that game. I think we are playing Roma on Wednesday so enough time to recover. Ings is useless and so is Moreno.

I can see us putting out a strong team against Stoke, we need to win that home game to get close to CL Qualification, if we don't win that it really puts the pressure on for CL as we need something from Chelsea away.
The players have had plenty of rest since Tuesday and don't play again until Wednesday night, so plenty of recovery time.

To stay above Chelsea we need a draw Saturday and another one v Chelsea. That would give us 73 points. Chelsea can only get to 75 but by drawing v us could only get 73. Our goal diff is 18 better at the moment so plenty to play with.
I agree that the players will have had plenty of rest between games but the issue is with the back up. After the first choice XI there is nobody else we can confidently call on to expect that they can do the same job or better with the exception of maybe Clyne who is probably in line to start v Stoke.

Lets just concentrate on the next game, we could rest a player for them to be injured in training, if we beat Stoke that takes allot of the pressure off for Top 4.
If we do bring in fringe players like Woodburn or Solanke, we need to play 1 or 2, not 4 or 5, as they need to be part of the regular first team.
Where's Lallana upto with his injury?

It's easier to beat stoke at home than draw with Chelsea away, this is why we need to put our full team now.

Stoke are nearly down, they have to beat us really, a draw isn't much use to them, they are 4 points behind 4th from bottom Swansea and have played an extra game, I can see them having a go, which will suit us.
If we beat Stoke we go 11 points clear of Chelsea with a much better GD, Chelsea can only get 12 points by winning all 4 of their remaining games and us losing our last 2 (1 is against Chelsea).

He is useless anyway, I remember some saying he was better than Eriksen in that one season he played well
