When Liverpool dismantled Arsenal last season at Anfield, 5-0, many fans across the globe thought the time had finally come to claim their 19th league title, and draw back on level terms with Manchester United. The fluidity and menace posed by Brendan Rodgers’ side was unlike anything the league has seen before, with not even the great Liverpool sides of yesteryear able to play at such a vibrant, devastating tempo. But while the 2013/14 side fell at the final hurdle, the enduring legacy of the past glory years remains, with fans at Anfield still proudly displaying their classic Liverpool kits in a bid to inspire the team of today to further success and silverware tomorrow.
