What a difference a rampant 6-1 win makes.
Despondency over deflating few weeks for Liverpool were blown away in 90 minutes at Elland Road on Monday night, with Jurgen Klopp's side notching a first league win since March 5. It was just what the Doctor ordered for the German boss and his players, with their harrowing run of previous results compounded by the club admitting defeat in the race to sign Jude Bellingham.
But Klopp is too shrewd to allow a win over an admittedly feeble Leeds side to paper over the cracks. His squad, and midfield in particular, needs bolstering if they are to propel themselves back into the title picture next season. And indeed, on the transfer front, things seem to be picking up after the Bellingham blow.
