I think they could do with it personally. I think by mid/end march for example can will be just about done for the season. firmino is rock solid injury wise but we have to get the best out of him later on too. This is after all a german side that klopp should know full well how to play.... ok maybe firmino and can might too...
League is essentially over now. Cups should be primary focus as they're our only chance of achieving anything this season.
Unless Lovern is fit enough to return, which I doubt he will be.. then play the same team that played against Villa. Granted, Studge and Ford need to be managed but they also need minutes in their legs and need to build up more chemistry with Firmino as part of the three. If we can get an away win then, as others have said, we'd have the option to rest some key starters for the Capital One Final..
do you not want us to do well in the league then? name me a club that has played europe this season that hasn't failed in their domestic league. valencia - struggling sevilla and valencia - struggling birmingham/hull/wigan - relegated marseille and lyon - struggling monaco were struggling, since they exited in group stage, funnily enough, they put a string of results together in league lazio and fiorentina - struggling augsburg & schalke - struggling its a fact that the EL completely destroys you, unless you have fitness capabilites the level of spurs. only other club that are coping well are dortmund, but they have the quality in depth and don't suffer injuries and bar vertonghen lately, spurs too never suffered any injuries
Do you not want us to do well in Europe or sign quality players? If we don't take part in EL but do well in the league, we'll get destroyed in the CL because we have a **** coefficient rating. EL wasn't a bad thing for teams like Seville and Monaco before they started qualifying for the CL.
i'd just rather we quality for CL or have a europa free season and focus on league, a bit like 13/14....a proper season to enjoy if you offer quality players the money, they'll join... hence texeira/ramires moving to china
So you want us to be a Man City or Chelsea then A club like liverpool should be looking to play in Europe every season. I take it you won't be celebrating if we somehow win the EL? Just like you won't be celebrating should we beat Man City in the League Cup final?
why would that be an easy win we beat Bournemouth 1-0 with a goal which should have been disallowed against WBA 2-2 with very late equaliser and both them at home.
Could have been in reach if we got a quality striker in the Jan window. I can't see it being feasible now unless somehow Sturridge can stay fit for several games in a row.
Fortunately not everyone thinks that way. Players owe it to themselves- never mind the fans- to do the best they can in every competition they're in. I don't want to see a team that gives up when things get tough, thanks very much.
I personally think the Europa is a good competition and it could be a little better if they get rid of the champions league drop outs. Winning it is a massive achievement and gets you a champions league place, whats not to like
