Liverpool Q&A recap - Trent Alexander-Arnold change, midfield targets and FSG latest

Liverpool looked something like their old selves again in an emphatic dismantling of Leeds on Monday.

A 6-1 thrashing at Elland Road left Jurgen Klopp beaming about it being Liverpool’s best performance of the season in the Premier League.

But after going so close to an unprecedented quadruple last season the Reds will finish this campaign without any silverware. There could also be the added blow of no Champions League football at Anfield next season.

Liverpool currently languish in eighth place in the Premier League table - nine points behind fourth-placed Newcastle - with just eight matches of the season remaining.

Instrumental in Liverpool’s win over Leeds was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has looked reinvigorated in a fluid midfield role for the Reds. Is he incredible talent, and range of passing, best utilised there rather than in defence? Could he even take on a central position?

Did that victory signify things are not as bad as many fans originally thought? Or is a major overhaul of the squad still needed?

One player who looks unlikely to be part of any rebuild is Jude Bellingham. The Reds have cooled their interest in the Borussia Dortmund star, which begs the question where will Liverpool turn now for midfield reinforcements? Who are Liverpool’s main summer transfer targets? How much cash will FSG give Klopp for his summer rebuild?

Our chief Liverpool writer Ian Doyle, who covers Liverpool home and away and has a handle on what is happening in the corridors of power at Anfield, answered some of these key questions and more in our Q&A..

The Q&A has now finished but you can continue the debate below and vote in our special poll on on Alexander-Arnold’s position.
