    If they're are a few guys that want to play for Klopp (regardless of our position in Europe, or not) and assuming these guys are better than the guys they are replacing in the squad, then these are the guys we want in our team..
    The guys that will only come if we're in Europe, thanks but no thanks!

    May I point out one little thing? We got to the Capital One Cup final, 'saved' ourselves for that and blew it. The following week we kicked City, the team who won it, into the kerb.

    Is this team capable of not bottling it in a Final? Why take that chance? It's ridiculous to waste opportunities elsewhere and in the PL for a cup we might not even win! It's lame to excuse poor performances for that, and let's face it, we limped our way to this Final.

    Oh I dunno honestly.

    There's quite a few I could not rely on playing.

    Coutinho for example.

    Sturridge is another.

    Big final... might well just go missing.

    My view is can and firmino are totally vital.

    Milner has good experience and should do ok but will get a yellow in first 10...

    I hear what you're saying MITO but with Studge and Coutinho, they are both of having shockers but then pulling something out the bag. Coutnho is definitely a big game player.

    Agree on Can and Firmino - possibly the safest members of the squad under Klopp.

    You can rely on them in a big game. Can is inclined to drop it v lesser opposition but for me can firmino and milner can be relied on.

    Lallana coutinho and sturridge can easily vanish in this kind of stage... They've never done it realistically.

    Clyne is another I feel.

    I think moreno will be OK. He'll run the line positively. If his cover vanishes with Coutinho going awol he will be destroyed.

    I think lovern ego is made for this, he's risen the game each round.

    Mingolet suits europe. Shot stopper and holds the ball too. So... dint expect a clanger.

    I can see us limp along 0-0 until they score the go chasing it unfortunately.

    I'd love us to do an arsenal type game on them and be 4 up in 15mins but I don't know if we will have the intensity first off and if they will do a villareal on it.

    I wouldn't say we limped our way to the final. I agree with you on the rest.

    We just made it, though. It was touch and go.

    Yeah. Perhaps it's just semantics but "limped" to me suggests someone weak and weary dragging themselves over the finishing line.
    I thought we showed great tenacity and determination to get to the final, especially in the Dortmund game. Qualities which we haven't shown nearly enough of in the league.

    We only lost 1 game, a 92nd minute winner, in 14 Europa league games this season.

    And that was after probably getting the two toughest draws possible in the last 16 & quarter finals of the competition.

    Knock-out games are almost always going to be tight affairs, its very rare that one team runs away with a tie and its over after the first leg.

    Our only consolation is that no one have home advantage. Neutral ground !

    You mean we showed 'character' <laugh>

    OK, limped was probably the wrong word to use but we did struggle. We didn't make it easy but then when do we ever?

    We'll see what happens tonight <ok>
