Stoke City 6-1 Liverpool: Comparing the Reds' XI That Fateful Day to the Current Team

A lot of things have changed since May 2015. Donald Trump became president, Britain voted to leave Europe, two more Star Wars films happened, Game of Thrones went bad and Liverpool got good again.

It's that last bit we're going to focus on, since we are four years removed from the day that really marked Brendan Rodgers' card at Anfield. A 6-1 (SIX-ONE) - defeat at Stoke City on the final day of the season ensured the Reds would finish sixth, one year after dramatically bottling the title race. The Northern Irishman would hold until October before being mercifully replaced by Jurgen Klopp, and things would slowly but surely begin to improve from there, swelling into the title-challenging Champions League finalists we have today.
