By the end of the season I'm needing a few weeks off and I'm only watching.
The players have played almost 60 games this season so personally think they deserve the 3 weeks off.
If that's what Liverpool are demanding a team in in the Championship or the bottom half of the premiership would probably pay it.
That's a cheap punt for them.
In the current climate if they stand up and defend our club and criticise certain other clubs in the media they won't have a job in the media.
Simple as that.
