PaulC Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 16 hours ago, StewieGriffin said: Wont happen, but I wondered last night if we'd take advantage of having an advantage over Spurs and rest some players for this ahead of the 2nd leg - I think quite a few would benefit from a week between games. Olsen Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Munroe Iroegbunam Luiz Diaby Rodgers Zaniolo Duran Gives Digne, McGinn, Bailey and Watkins a rest, whilst taking no chances with Martinez and Tielemans. We can't take chances on a game like this. We've worked all season to get top 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 If we win both games this week then the key players can have the last 2 weekends of the PL season off. We have to go full strength. At least Pau will be fresh, Rogers came off fairly early on Thursday so should be reasonably fresh. Can always bring Carlos in for Cash and Zaniolo for Diaby if we really want. I just hope Emi is back, needless to say I'd feel so much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foreveryoung Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 The most must win game of the season for me. Then we can go all out on Olympiacos, an chill for the last 2 games. That's if Tottenham lose tomorrow, but to be fair, I think they see their season as over, so can't see them beating Plop. Klopp will demand a huge performance too I would think. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw their list of absentees I didn’t realise they’d be able to still field a pretty good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 de Zerbi has said this week that he's struggling to motivate them. So we know what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I’d take a point to be honest. I think the Spurs game bizarrely is of more interest than ours simply because we just look absolutely hopeless and tired at the moment to the point we may not pick up another win all season. If you told me we’d lose tomorrow but so would Spurs, I’d bite your hand off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 19:00 tomorrow we could be CL guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 A lot will depend who is in goal for us. Really hoping it is Martinez as I think that will give everyone a boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree , but we need a team performance that was utter crap on Thursday no intensity or composure and the gift that keeps on giving poor goals we concede.

Not good for the confidence though. The danger is if we drop points, it will give spurs a glimmer of hope I don’t want them to have going into their game straight after ours finishes.

useless Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'm not super confident for this game, just for the reason it seems we've beaten them so many times recently that it feels as though they're long due a win against us. Although we're in a good position overall with so few games left, so whatever happens will be still hopeful for top four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If Martinez plays I think we'll win, if Olsen plays I don't want to think about it. We've won games with him in goal before but he seems to gift the opposition at least 2 goals every game. Hopefully Martinez fit to start and Tielemans and Moreno can make the bench. I'd go same team that played so well and beat Arsenal a couple of weeks ago, with only Luiz (who needs a good performance) in for Tielemans who won't be fit enough to start: Martinez Konsa Carlos Torres Digne Luiz McGinn Diaby Rogers Zaniolo Watkins Subs: Gauci, Cash, Lenglet, Moreno, KKH, Iroegbunam, Tielemans, Bailey, Duran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
