While I admit to feeling like Liverpool’s hopes were over after three games, I actually feel the opposite now, after a third defeat.

Those first two defeats bothered me; this latest one didn’t.

The key was to get some wins under the belt after losing two out of the opening three, and that happened; otherwise the hole could have got quite deep. But now, the table is still so tight that a couple more wins in quick succession can easily change things.
