I outlined the struggle that comes with recognizing a “big club” isn’t quite so big anymore. This week, for part two of this “Downfall” series on Manchester United, I’d like to look […]
After tuning in and watching from my sofa as Liverpool were on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping at Anfield, I remember the feeling crashing over me: “We’re not a big club anymore.” The date was 29 August 2015, and it was the first time that thought had ever crossed my mind. Here we […]

Liverpool’s last two matches have both ended with impressive score-lines, with six goals and none conceded.
