UNBELIEVABLE would be the best word I can use to describe Liverpool’s shocking 1-0 defeat to Swansea earlier this week, especially after their immense effort in beating runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City the week before.

Let’s look at some statistics of Swansea first: before last Tuesday’s result, they were (and still are) at the bottom of the table with four wins, five draws and 14 losses from 23 games. Liverpool also thrashed them 5-0 last month at Anfield.
