In the context of the game and the group situation, I'm not sure we could have planned that any better. Players who needed minutes got minutes, Thiago played excellently and bagged a beauty, Williams/Morton got valuable experience, Robertson Milner, Henderson got some minutes under their belt after injury and importantly we won, pocketing 2.5M in the process.
Fair play to Klopp for that selection, which I personally thought might be a risk playing Alisson, Mane, Matip, Salah and Thiago - all of whom we'll need for a lot of games between now and May. Fortunately they all came through unscathed plus we saw the return of other players from injury.
Be interesting to see what he does for the Milan game, in between an away trip to Wolves and a home match against Villa.
Some crazy stats doing the rounds, such as 16 games in a row in all competitions where we've scored at least 2 goals, plus we've still only lost one game in all competitions since 6th April, and only 1 league game since 7th March. Our injury list is going down, and we might even have Gomez, Keita, Jones and Bobby back next month.
It's shaping up for a good second half of the season and..............the quadruple is still on
