Even by the standards of modern sport, Liverpool’s implosion is spectacular…the collapsing star of the football universe.
From a team on the verge of greatness at the end of last season - and don’t forget, they were only minutes away from completing the third leg of an historic quadruple - they are now on the point of oblivion, or mid-table obscurity as it is alternatively known.
It is tempting, to look for reasons. An ageing midfield; an exhausted squad after last season’s superhuman deeds; a group devastated by the ‘failure’ in the final two games of the season.
