Tonight (21:15) Liverpool will take to the pitch at Bermwell Lane Stadium and meet the Premier League table climber Sheffield United.
In days like theirs the only question was how much Liverpool would score on the way to victory, but the deteriorating (outgoing) champion would arrive bruised than ever and exposed to another embarrassing loss.
The concerns of the team manager, Jürgen Klopp, are not only about what is happening in the team's games, but also about its future, and more specifically about the future of Muhammad Salah.
Liverpool's Egyptian striker is in high demand by Europe's greats, especially by the two Spanish giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who believe they can seduce Salah with big money.
This possibility is stressful for the German manager, who sent a clear message over the weekend to the FSG team’s owners, who must keep Salah in every way.
Klopp is actually demanding that the owner renew Salah's contract as soon as possible, while significantly upgrading his salary, to prevent the only player functioning this season from escaping to a new station in his career.
Liverpool's difficult professional situation, which has been left out of all settings except the Champions League, is a loophole that calls on its key players to consider leaving, mainly because of the possibility that next season the team will not play in the Champions League (maybe not even in the Europa League).
Klopp's message came after reports that the owners are not planning to rebuild the team, but are building on the recovery of the many injured until next season, and storming with them for all the titles.
"I do not always praise my players, although I really like to do it," said Klopp. "In the case of Muhammad, his numbers tell the story themselves, but he is beyond just a scorer, he developed playing wisdom during his time with us. He is very important to Liverpool. And I hope he stays here for a long time. "
