Cracking result for us. Due to resting players for the final, we may find ourselves up against Ings, Dalglish and Lawrence in goal. Happy days.

'We got important games coming up aganst Chelsea and Brighton'. You don't often hear that from the captain of a team going through to a European Cup Final.
Yes, I did shed a tiny tear. Twenty years ago we were rubbish on a bonfire.
I am very glad to be alive, now.

The next 3 games are not looking too bad now. esp Manu and the Liverpool games.

Will they really rest players when there’s 13 days between the games?

Them weird and long car journeys with my dad to Gillingham do feel a life time away.
I bloody well hope so!

So do I but it’s looking more and more possible that the points may be more vital to them than they will be for us.

Eh?
They will 'rest' if at the first opportunity someone gets booted up in the air.

Probably, they can't risk long term injury, Oxlade Chamberlain is already out and while they have a good 1st team the squad, decent replacements for a CL final is not good.
Imagine if Firminho and Salah picked up an injury the defence is thin too.
Surely they won't risk it, CL is in the bag for them next season anyway.
It will be like Stoke, a good time to play them and get a 0-0 or sneak a win.
We may be in the beach anyway.

Of course. On any given day they would tear us apart.. but they didn't against Stoke, WBA.. So if we're on the top of our game they're one of the three teams left we can get in around the back of and not be shit in front of goal.. Basically we just need to score more goals than them
Sadly, he actually said...
"We've been entertaining [throughout our Champions League campaign]. We've got an important game against Chelsea at the weekend before the last game of the season against Brighton and obviously Madrid in the final. It won't be easy but we'll go there [to Kiev] with confidence."

No, I don't think they will. They'll need as much match fitness as possible

Correct because most of those that would leave early, would be watching on TV whilst composing letters about how they have followed the team for so many years. But, they will not pay that much for a ticket….It’s an outrage…Barber out
Mixture of both most likely. Some rested completely, some playing far less than a full game and those that do play nowhere near 100% committed with the CL final looming. All positive for us.
If they’re safe in the top 4 by then (likely), still think Salah, Mane and Firminho might be wrapped in cotton wool. Salah in particular has looked a bit knackered the last couple of games and has dropped slightly from his previous form.

Klopp “We have to play two more Champions League semi-finals in the Premier League, that’s the first job to do, but we have two weeks to prepare for the final and we will use that time.”
That doesn’t sound like someone who intends to take his foot off the pedal, unfortunately.
