Yes but what does one eye on it mean? That they won't play Sturridge and Coutinho? It's not even in the same week. They would prepare this week for the weekend game, then after they play us they plan for Dortmund. I think it's a simple as thatthe way it's going the Dortmund match is their most important game left of the season. at the moment they have 8 games in April, after a very busy season already. their only real chance of appearing in the CL next season is to beat Dortmund, they won't get European football the way their season is going, so they will have 1 eye on that match.
Not what I'd do, but I can see Son starting ahead of Lamela, just because one has a long haul flight from South America and the other will be at the Training ground.

I'm really not that worried about pool. Certainly no more than any team we face. They are not that great. Pretty average from the games I've seen them play. They've had a 'mini' revival, only because the teams they play are so bad.What will be more interesting is the Liverpool side, who face Dortmund the Thursday after our game!
We have nothing to fear, we have to go there believing we can win.
Oh lemme change up my bench right quickLloris
Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Dier Dembele
Lamela Alli Eriksen
Kane
Vorm, Wimmer, Trippier, Mason, Carroll, Son, Chadli
Subs will be: 65' Carroll for Lamela. 80' Mason for Alli. 88' Chadli for Dembele/Dier. Happens every game.
But one is 1000 times more important to the team while the other has been boardering on useless since like October.Not what I'd do, but I can see Son starting ahead of Lamela, just because one has a long haul flight from South America and the other will be at the Training ground.
Are you saying he's a 22 million pound flop then?But one is 1000 times more important to the team while the other has been boardering on useless since like October.

If vertonghens fit I would put him straight back in. We're going to need to be calm and composed with the ball at the back going to anfield because they will put us under pressure high up the pitch. Their crowd will make it high tempo. We can't afford to be ragged with possession. We need to give ourselves the best platform to build attacks and a performance and imo that's with vertonghen and Alderweired. We can't afford just to clear the ball anywhere we need to work it up the pitch.
Wimmer is calm and composed and, to be honest, Vertonghen hasn't always been in the past. A certain game at Anfield where he literally walked off the pitch springs to mind - probably his nadir as a Spurs player that moment.
And also, what's the best way to beat a press? Play it long, and Wimmer is also an excellent and cultured player or long passes - not long balls.
Everything we know about Poch tells us that the man in possession of the shirt retains it until his performances drop off, and Wimmer's haven't.
Don't think it's a question of them resting players, the more likely advantage is that their players know the league has gone, and will have one eye on the Dortmund game as it really is their season now. A question of psychology really, and little things like that make a difference.No way Liverpool will chuck this one, they consider themselves a bigger club than us (historically correct) and it will not be palletable to their support for them to rest players. Not to mention Klopp probably knows better than anyone how unlikely it is that they can beat Dortmund over two legs...
