Liverpool may no longer win the four -fold, but the Treble is still very up.
The Premier League would demonstrably be the first prize of the remaining set of trophies, and their next game against Everton could be crucial to achieve that goal.
The side of Arne Slot is at the top of the table after having lost the entire season.
And a victory on Wednesday will make nine points clear at the top of the top to put them well on their way to the English title track 20.
But bragging on the table and Everton is on a three-league game-winning run under returning boss David Moyes.
However, Liverpool has some important weapons that should serve to help them triumph in the latter Goodison derby.
How offside trap is broken
They may not be the Dum Busters, but Slot's Liverpool are certainly offside busters.
In a slight adjustment to what Jurgen Klopp did last year, Liverpool has developed from 4-3-3 to almost 4-1-5.
That is largely thanks to Ryan Gravenberch who sits there, but more about him later.
Just like every modern team, Liverpool shifts formations between attack and defense.
And just as many of their Rivals Slot's side often end in a 3-2-5 formation when they are in possession, be that a full-back enters or a midfielder is falling.
That's the simple piece. But the brilliant bit of comes in when you look at their runners of the ball.
Slot has trained his side to destroy an offside trap, often from the full-backs or deep midfielders.
It could be Alexander-Arnold or Andy Robertson on the one hand or Dominik Szoboszlai on the inside on the right, but it is often a huge long-breasting sprint.
The players who do this – usually Robertson – do not even want the ball during these runs, but do it to force the backline of the opposition to their own goal.
This Dummy Run opens more space for the players who want the ball. And no matter how simple it sounds, it's not something that teams sort out.
When Robertson makes these runs, it helps Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz to stay aside and creates a gap between midfield and the defense.
It is almost like an old -fashioned computer game that makes you wonder where they are going.
But there is a method for madness and this is seen against people like Manchester United, Tottenham and Crystal Palace.
It is quite remarkable if you consider Liverpool the second highest in the competition for fitting in the last third but the third lowest for offside violations.
What is essentially a confusion tactic works clearly.
In turn in midfield
Midfield is the most important part of the Liverpool team.
Klopp left behind with a series of good players to inherit, and many of those players are able to make the entire game run.
But if you look at it closer, you see that midfield actually rotates in terms of doing heavy lifting.
One of the players, usually Szobszlai or Alexis Mac Allister with Gravenberch Sitting, sprint and run in the space to disturb the opposition.
However, this is never the same player and varies from attack to attack. Something different from the total pressure of Klopp's famous and very successful heavy metal football.
It is important that one in three, Liverpool players are able to save some energy and not completely break down the system by exposing one player.
Class, the Dutch on the left
Cody Gakpo, what a player. He had a difficult first season in England with his best position not entirely clear.
But under lock, Gakpo has become a bit of everything – a wing player, second striker and main loss.
Gakpo and Diaz form such an effective attacking partnership because they are completely interchangeable.
When a long ball is needed, Gakpo often floats in the left in the canal, where he can win more in the air while Diaz flows to the left flank.
If you then add the above -mentioned deep runs from Robertson to break the offside trap, it can allow a ball in the feet of Diaz where he can attack the space for him.
Even if the ball goes to the right, Gakpo will float to the left to attack the ball at the distant pole.
It is a fantastic rotation on the left.
But it must be a nightmare for every right back that eventually tries to pick up no fewer than three players who make runs simultaneously.
No tracking, mo problem
There are times when even the Imperious Liverpool has to defend, although Salah is exempt from that requirement.
And it's not that he is lazy, far from. In fact, the Egyptian king can be heard of the head that he does not have to come back. But like all things with lock, there is a plan.
One of the main reasons why he was allowed to stay ahead is lock to a system with more traditional full-backs.
On the side of Salah, Alexander-Arnold is not reversed most weeks, which means that the full-back of the opposition does not only have the course of that side of the field.
Instead, Salah is a hidden weapon for when Liverpool launches their counterattacks because Salah is one of the most dangerous players in the transition in the Premier League.
So with the support of Diaz and Gakpo and the immense midfield three, Salah can actually be worn a little from his defensive tasks.
Of course he means that the opposition has to leave two to keep it under control, which automatically helps Liverpool to win the figures.
Less running also means that he can later influence more effectively, because he still has an eruption of energy.
Gravenberch in the key lock
It is no secret that Gravenberch did not sparkle precisely under Klopp, but under lock he could be the most important player in the team.
When the Dutchman arrived, many people presented him as an eight or attacking midfielder gave his time in Ajax and Bayern Munich.
But it has proved to be the most suitable to be an in -depth player.
There is no higher compliment than to call him what he is justified; Rodri van Liverpool.
He is expertly able to back up the game, following the ball while it goes from left to right and vice versa.
His great physical presence also means that he is often not a hassle about an opposition player who enters his area, because he is just able to win the ball before he immediately returns a pass to the teammates for him.
Gravenberch is able to continue to feed the beast that is Liverpool's attack.
And it is not an exaggeration to say that if the spectacular year was not, Salah has, he would probably be the best player in the competition this season. I like to look at him.
