Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has told unsettled pair Momo Sissoko and Peter Crouch to fight for their place.
"If someone wanted to go they need to understand we need all the players now.
"Every situation is different but summer would be easier because you have more time.
"Right now we will try to say no. I like to be calm and analyse the big picture.
"There is no need for me to put myself or my players under pressure if we have made a mistake in a game."
