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

[Insidious]

........................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 definitely rest Salah

[teesred]

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

[justincredible]

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?
