A mid season break
There was talk that it’s something Pep does for certain players
Haaland being one
They just a weekend off but know in advance so as soon as the last game has finished their off on a jet plane

That's a good call. I said the other day we have our squad split into the ones like Kulu who need a rest, the ones like Johnson who need to be training and the ones in the middle like Bents that are probably just in normal mode.

I can imagine after a Sat 3pm game you could be somewhere warm as you wake up on the Sunday morning. We can give Kulu a copy of Perryman's book on his way out as well. Good poolside reading.

I'd love to know what it would take to get Kulu and Porro back to "fresh". Can it happen naturally by just getting into a one game a week cadence for a few weeks? Do they need to start playing only 60 mins, or even alternating between bench and playing? If so, how long?

As #thfcsteff said on another thread, we don't need to see any more data to know they're knackered. I'd be more interested in knowing the diagnostic data at its lowest and how it improves back to full freshness again. Of course we'll never get to see players data.

I guess we'll see in the next couple of games if a couple of weeks without a midweek game makes any difference. Personally I think it will make some difference, but back to "fresh" not so sure.

Incoming bid of a loan with maybe an option to buy for 50p....

If anyone had watched the PL scouting the very best players, Doku and Diaz would be nowhere near the top four.
