Those first four only played 30-35 mins.
But it's effecting us on the pitch.
I dunno, it's a big concern at the money end of the season
I know. So how can we say we rested them when they played in probably the most intense part of the game. Where we also looked shite.
Do we have any other options?
Yeah 30-35 mins is just like playing 90 mins.
I think I may need a shower now after watching Atletico for the last 30 minutes. What a horrible team – as much as I didn't want to see City go through, I'm glad this lot are out.
Also good to see City having no control whatsoever at the end – they had to rely on luck, rather than suffocating the opponent as usual.

But 30 minutes of high intensity football is a rest though
Some, but not any I'm massively eager to try because I'm still hopeful it'll click back to normal.
Diaz Jota and mane is the best we could muster otherwise
True, but I kinda want to see Salah, Mane and Firmino back at it.
At least he is smiling!
Would suggest he's relaxed and knows it's coming. He's also creating good chances for others.
Bit of a comedy game in the end but they got in behind so many times. We can't just drift high every time. Seems any team that can time a run can get in behind. It's going to cost us eventually.
City next up. We were second best in the draw, and we have to improve to have any chance. Few rested so hopefully that will help.

That's why Matip and Van Dijk are such a great partnership. Almost telepathic in their offside traps.
That was 30 mins training for those guys, in fact supposedly actual training is of an even higher intensity. So yeah, that was just a warm up for the weekend.
With Ali as last line
They played 30 mins. Its as close to getting rested as you can come. Compared to City who had a full strength team out in 102 mins. Two injuries.
Well he should have put one on a plate for Mane but left it woefully short. However every match he doesn't score means he's one closer to scoring - he'll get one at the weekend.
One?
I thought he was starting to get his swag back after Sundays assist and again tonight.
Wee flick back to Bobby was nice.
The cut in and whipped shot was more like old Mo too.
The Greek I think
He was really good today.
Yeah, but for me Diaz was probably MOTM. I think he starts Saturday.
