    Your team v Benfica (Champion's League, first leg)

    ........................Alisson

    Gomez......Konate.....Van Dijk....Robertson

    .......................Fabinho

    ...........Henderson...........Ox

    .......Salah..........Jota...........Diaz

    Konate for both Benfica games to keep Matip fresh.

    Ox to preserve Thiago for Man City.

    5 subs remember so can change things if required.

    Go to get the win and look to win well

    Alisson

    Trent Matip Van Dijk Robertson

    Henderson Fabinho Thiago

    Salah Jota Diaz

    5 Subs to really really look to come out of the traps flying and if it reaps dividends look to get Trent, Fab and Jota of on the hour

    I absolutely expect our lads to administer a hard, deep penetrating bumming, get the win and an absolutely vital lead to take into the second leg at Anfield

    Does Jurgen rotate , Or go with his strongest X1? Benfica must be decent to get this far. I'd go with our strongest, I'd say 19xs team won't be far away.

    I think going with Matip is a brave shout - where do we rest him, as he surely plays against Man City?

    Perhaps the medical staff feel they have a lid on his past issues.

    I would go in with Mane on the right Diaz on the left and Firmino upfront.. Give Salah a game off. Obviously be used has a sub

    Diaz scored a beautiful solo goal against Man City for Porto when the games were still taking place without fans. He's some player.

    I'd go with Konate. He hasnt let us down yet so he's more than capable of playing the big games.
    Agree Mo needs a rest or more likely a bit of a reset. He's not himself at all.

    He's playing for an hour and a half twice a week, I'm sure he can cope !!
    I see your point ,yeh maybe a good call for Konate

    I'd give Mo a rest for these last 16 games of the season and in the summer ask him how does £200,000pw suit ya?
