Liverpool's 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace on Sunday means they are 18 points behind leaders Chelsea after six defeats in their first 12 league games.

Yes, that is poor if you compare it to what happened fun88 in the Reds' previous campaign, in which they suffered the same number of defeats in total and the outcome of the title race was in their hands with only three games to go.

But that was a one-off. If you look further back, dang ky 12bet Liverpool have been a top-eight team playing in the Europa League, not title contenders.

So, although they are currently probably lower than expected in 12th place, dang ky fun88 I would not say I am hugely surprised how things have gone since Suarez's sale.
