Liverpool may want to boost the contract extension offered to Steven Gerrard after the captain bailed them out in a 3-1 comeback victory at Leicester.
The former England midfielder's current deal expires in the summer and, despite the offer of an extension, he has yet to commit to stay at the club he has been with since the age of nine.
But while Gerrard may be deliberating his next move -- reportedly wanting double the one-year contract on offer -- he showed no hesitation on the pitch with a coolly-placed goal to set his side on the way to victory.
Restored to the starting line-up after being rested against Stoke on the 16th anniversary of his debut at the weekend and moved into a more advanced role, the midfielder responded with his first goal from open play since January.
That turned the match after after Adam Lallana had equalised goalkeeper Simon Mignolet's unfortunate own goal in the first half and, when Wes Morgan was shown a red card, Jordan Henderson secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since October.
In the space of seven days, Gerrard and Mignolet have both experienced highs and lows.
Having been at fault for Ludogorets' opener in their Champions League draw in Bulgaria last Wednesday the Belgium goalkeeper looked to have turned a corner with a clean sheet against Stoke at the weekend.
However, his inexplicable pass straight into the path of Esteban Cambiasso, who rolled a 25-yard shot just wide of an open goal, set the nerves jangling and, within two minutes, Leicester were in front thanks to more weak defending.
Mignolet made a good save when Jamie Vardy raced on to a Riyad Mahrez through ball, but Martin Skrtel could only weakly head out Ulloa's follow-up and the striker was given enough time to collect the ball and smash a shot against the near post which cannoned off Mignolet's head and into the net.
Liverpool's response was almost instantaneous as Gerrard's free-kick was half-cleared to Lucas Leiva whose cross dropped at the feet of Lallana off Morgan and he smashed home the 50th league goal of his career.
The former Southampton midfielder, returning to the starting line-up, had looked neat and tidy with the ball at his feet, but his wild lunge at Vardy, for which he was booked a few minutes later, was anything but.
In the first half, Gerrard struggled to have much influence in a pinball midfield, and it was Leicester veteran Cambiasso, also 34, who exuded calmness and control.
At the break, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers made a tactical switch, taking off Javier Manquillo, switching Glen Johnson back to right-back and bringing Alberto Moreno in on the left, but it was a change he made last week which was more pivotal.
Against Ludogorets, Gerrard was restored to the advanced role he had previously occupied with great success in an attempt to allow Lucas to come in and provide more solidity.
And it was Gerrard who strode into the penalty area in the 54th minute, having been involved in the build-up, to caress a shot past Kasper Schmeichel after Morgan could only touch out a Raheem Sterling cross.
Things got worse for the Leicester captain when he was red-carded just past the hour for hauling down Rickie Lambert as the Liverpool striker got beyond him.
However, from the resulting free-kick the hosts launched a swift counter-attack and Gerrard charged back, commiting a cynical foul on Matty James.
Leicester were lucky not to be down to nine men when Schmeichel collided with Gerrard inside the penalty area after he sprang the offside trap to race through -- but referee Lee Mason waved play on.
Equally, the home side were unlucky when Cambiasso's deflected shot was diverted wide by teammate Vardy, but by now Gerrard was relishing the open spaces and his cross to Sterling produced the cutback for Henderson to score the third.
