When the breakthrough came, it was for Everton, after some comical defending.

Not for the first time this season, the question was how Liverpool could respond — and the answer, despite a great deal of effort, was insufficient.

The finishing woes continued, and Everton punished that wastefulness by clinically doubling the lead, all but ending any title hopes for the Reds.

At the heart of so many of the good things Liverpool is already doing, tying him down will clearly be right at the top of the to-do list.

There are trickier decisions to be made on Salah and Virgil van Dijk, both of whom are in the same boat.

He tormented Liverpool in that role while still at Benfica, and had a hugely prolific season there primarily through the middle.

But at least for the time being, Liverpool cannot expect to win the very top honors if it is relying on Núñez to finish these chances.

This is a young squad rebuilding after a really poor campaign, and there are some things to be excited about.

For instance, Slot will have got a good look at Jarell Quansah, who made Liverpool look a lot more assured after coming on for the rattled Ibrahima Konaté.
