Liverpool's era of challenging at the top of the Premier League is under massive threat. In fact, it could be nearing an end.
Apologies to all the Reds fans out there – but the club needs to either get with the plan or else the fans need to resign themselves to spending another generation on the outside, looking in. The harsh reality, as the current cycle of continued success comes to an end, is that Liverpool face obstacles not just from outside, but from within.
It seems incredible that only 12 months ago all the chatter was about a potential Quadruple. And, even though I expect a marked improvement at Anfield today against Arsenal, Reds fans have to look at the bigger picture.
And they’re not going to like what they see. I don’t, either.
