Liverpool make an unwanted piece of Anfield history

Watching Liverpool these days it is almost incomprehensible to think this is the same side which free-scoring side which strolled so majestically to the title

It feels almost ludicrous, crazy or foolish to type it — and of course statistics never really tell the full story — but this was the day that Liverpool went from being the best team in the club’s history to the worst.

Not the worst in terms of league position, of course, or in terms of their quality, potential or achievements. Far from it.
