a victory is worth a whole 500k and a draw 166k. I think a rest for players is worth more than 500k right now.
Not sure what klopp will do in the last game given he brought TAA on which seemed unnecessary but I guess just wants to keep the legs ticking over.
especially on a cold night as well. you'd think he's haul the important lads off and stick on kids but he shoved the mad man on as well.
Has anyone got any numbers for gravenberch and elliott's pass completion %. I think elliott was on a massive headed pass buzz and he got nearly every one wrong but obviously did a bit better on the ground. Poor old gravenberch had a mare when it came to passing the ball straight to LASK. the team % was 86% Elliott has now completed 450minutes in this tournament, more than any other LFC player. that's basically every minute of every game Kelleher has 4 out of 5 Quansah has gotten 294mins
I think it's to do with having a recognised captain on the pitch. He wanted to give Salah some rest and then it's either put on Virgil or Trent. Either one was unnecessary in terms of the game.
I think it's more a case of securing top spot which means the last game is a dead rubber and we also avoid 2 games in the next round.
Especially when you look at what happened at the villa game and to the Brighton supports in away end.
some fans are a proper credit to their club and some are a disgrace. its a shame anfield doesn't have tickets priced to have that kind of youf-ful energy going on. there's no better crowd when they are up but it's a lot of oot and expensive tickets plus aging season ticket holders so the average prem game can be really quiet.
Elliott pass completion 69.8% (attempted 63, completed 44) Gravenberch pass completion 86% (attempted 50, completed 43) fbref.com
amazing. I know elliot made some really good through balls but made about 6 or 7 headed rpasdes that he has some personal desire to do and ****ed up. but gravenberch number is amazing. he had a mare going forward and lost a huge amount of balls trying to link up.
