Are you saying that was the cause of it though? I think it was more co-incidence, certainly I don't think you can blame eight or nine bad results on the fact that we gave a top premiership side a run for its money. However IF our defeat against Liverpool WAS the sole reason for our slump - it proves how important it is to beat Newcastle! (Or even Wrexham come to that!)
I think it started it, because after that we had tough games coming thick and fast. And when we lost against Palace, confidence was very low...
