It is now back - to - back defeats for the Red Devils following a 1 - 0 reverse against Chelsea prior to the game against the Toffees meaning their
qualification for the Champions
league is not as certain as it seemed when they were on a six - game winning
streak.
The odds still favour Liverpool to make the Champions
League qualification spots, and an 18 match unbeaten
streak at least counts for progress over the past few months if not much else, indeed, a 1 - 0 loss hardly comes at the cost of all that progress, it is merely a setback, and considering Liverpool's trajectory over the past two and a half years, a setback which we can reasonably hope will be overcome soon enough.
