What to ask Arne Slot with nothing on the line across the next four weeks?
That, of course, is the scenario that now faces Liverpool, having wrapped up the Premier League title with four games to spare.
That sparked last week’s spectacular scenes at Anfield as a first title in front of fans was secured after 35 years.
That certainly wasn’t the case on Friday, although the man who wrapped up the Premier League early ran a little behind schedule.
But the Liverpool boss’ comments on Chelsea were the first indication that perhaps his usual laser focus has been somewhat diverted.
That he only watched “parts” of the Blues’ midweek Europa Conference League win over Djurgarden was telling, while the admission that he plans to “mix up” his team over the next four matches is an obvious implication that the need to take maximum points isn’t quite as critical over the next few weeks.

When asked what the main upside of winning the title early is, he responded: “I think the main advantage of winning the league is that until now if I spoke to new players we wanted to bring in I always told them that our fans are really special, that it's special to play at this club.
“I think that was not even necessary to tell them in the past but after Sunday I don't think I ever have to tell anyone again how special our fans are because that was unbelievable
Winning the league, having these fans, I think is a big attraction to every player we want to bring in, and that's definitely helpful.”
It’s not hard to read between the lines there
