Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold believes their demolition of Crystal Palace was a statement performance.
The 4-0 win at Anfield was so one-sided the visitors failed to register a touch in their opponents' penalty area, a statistic never recorded since such data was first collected in the 2008-09 season.
No fans were present to witness one of the best displays of what has been a remarkable campaign but Alexander-Arnold felt that almost made it even better as Liverpool moved within touching distance of a first league title in 30 years.
"It is like it is, so we need to find solutions and we need all the boys," he said.
"We will need them all, they will all play and they will all have game time, which is nice.
"We cannot change just like we want with eight, nine, 10 players or whatever, we have to dig in and to get through that – and I hope we will."
In more positive news 20-year-old academy graduate Liam Coyle has signed a new contract to extend his association with the club into a second decade.
However, Nathaniel Clyne, who has not played a first-team game for the club since May 2018, will be released at the end of the month following the expiry of his contract.
