Ox played well I thought last night.
His issue is getting a run of games together he hasnt been able to as he is either injured or our best options are available.
I think he starts Sunday if he holds up in training

I luvs the boring...
Its been a great achievement in a tough group. I did not see it coming either. As Sid said, it is good to see OX actually perform in a game and a big one too.
I have been bricking it since the summer that our midfield could be in tatters by Christmas, and while it could still happen, this early qualification in top spot - goes a long way to easing that concern..

Using your "boring" as a segue, I know I harp on about it too much periodically and it wasn't the case (on paper) this season as we got a tough group, but the aim to qualify this smoothly is a major factor in my being so invested in the club co-efficient.
Higher seeding and being in Pot 1 or Pot 2 will,more often than not, mean an easier group, which in turn should lead to easier qualification, which in turn places less stress on us in terms of juggling multiple comps.
I do think we'll go strong against AC Milan as we have never won at the San Siro and it's nice to keep adding to the lore of the club's tapestry, but a "weakened" side against Porto would be a great chance to get some players game time without do-or-die pressure on them.

Probably, haven't seen it but it will be counted somewhere off the pass before the assist stat that sky often trot out amongst others.
There's a packing stat on passes which measures the number of players taken out by the pass. Not sure if there's one that exactly measures the pass that breaks the opponents press, there probably is on the databases you have to pay for.
The opta site can have a few of those types iirc
We have won at San Siro a few times but against Inter Milan.
I dont think we should go strong at all Alisson Trent VVD Salah Mane should be nowhere near these games.
Klopp made the error of using Jota last year dont repeat it if Salah got injured in one of those games it potentially ends our season.
We have fringe players and youngsters use them in what are not pressure games for us result wise.
Don't think Klopp has ever been to the San Siro before. So squad health permitting think he be more keen to win that one.
I'd expect to see more rotation v Porto at Anfield.
