I’m also hoping VVD gets a rest. A “twinge behind the knee” as he puts it is very concerning is worrying. A Matip-Konate paring have the wheels to keep a lid on Soton’s counterattack.Play your strongest side until it’s over. Yesterday’s lineup will do. If City drop points again the door is open. Assuming Salah is out I think it’s Diaz/Jota/Mane up top. Which kind of doesn’t work as Jota is better through the middle. I could see Firmino for Jota.
Also, I’ll add that any season that ends with 2 trophies, 3 cup finals, and a top-2 league finish is massively successful. The quad is such an incredible dream, of course 2 trophies pales in comparison. But fuck that. What an amazing ride this season has been, what awesome performances we’ve seen, what grit and determination matched by wonderful skill and cohesion. This Liverpool squad is one for the ages.
