re: Is Liverpool still a "big" club?

Since it's harder to dominate England and even harder now with the TV money for everybody, is it harder now to build up a team good enough to win in Europe?

The greatest gulf for me is the tactical side of the game. I do think the winter break also helps continental teams as well, but in general, the tactical game week to week is better on the continent, which gives top teams a major advantage. What was the last major tactical innovation that started in the PL? It took a simple tactical shift by Conte for Chelsea to walk the league.

I'd also wager that all of the big five in Europe, as it were, would do equally as well in the PL week to week.
