The devastating nature of Liverpool's 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace last Sunday can be measured by the reaction of the fans.
There were so many things which went wrong that it not only eroded a feelgood factor built up by the five wins and two draws but immediately cast a pall over the remaining four fixtures.
One game shouldn't overshadow another 11. In fact, it's still possible to regard Liverpool as slight favourites to achieve fourth place and Champions League qualification.
