How do you improve on near perfection? That is the poser with which Liverpool are now grappling as they look to continue the transformation towards Jurgen Klopp's second team of his Anfield tenure.
Having been beaten by one point to the Premier League title and one goal to the Champions League crown - with the League Cup and FA Cup already secured - there may, at least in terms of raw numbers, appear only a little extra required to bridge the gap.
Such a final step, though, is always the hardest, particularly when the constant evolution of the Liverpool squad has seen the inevitable breakup of previous key tenets under Klopp.
