Here’s a question we would like to know the answer to. Did Liverpool privately suspect this decline might be coming? Because we have a growing suspicion that they did.
Obviously, we have to be very careful about over-attributing Liverpool’s decline to anything in light of the deep personal tragedy they had to deal with following the unexpected death of Diogo Jota in the summer. The toll that must have taken should not go unmentioned, nor do we wish to trivialise it.
