Liverpool are in a very unique position, having such a large lead to a point where most people would accept that the league title is probably done.That is different to a lot of the title races in years gone by which may explain their dip in form, but it reminds us of just how difficult the Premier League is It also shows how much credit they deserve for this season because at times they did not play as well - as has been the case in recent weeks - but picked up so many points.They are trying to find their rhythm again but they're up against teams who themselves have much to play for - like Fulham this last weekend for example having the chance to play in Europe again. The last third of the season is the hardest because every team has some goal to play for.I don't think recent performances show Liverpool require a massive rebuild this summer.Trent Alexander-Arnold's probably going to be leaving, but I think it's just a case of deciding, figuring out who's going to be there next season, and then building a plan around that.You want your captain and most influential players to stay. Ultimately, it's the squad that's going to be lifting the Premier League title on the final day of the season. I think to say that squad requires a big rebuild would suggest that this season was a fluke, and I don't think that's been the case at all.I think they'll know the areas that they need to try to bolster and and I don't think it's that many.I don't think they're going to be looking at a completely different side next year with low expectations because as the season starts, if they have the majority of the same squad, I don't see why those players and managers would not believe that they can win the Premier League title again.Nedum Onuoha was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward
