Liverpool succumbed to their sixth defeat of the season, dropping to twelfth in the Premier League and meaning they’ve now had their worst 12-game start since 1992.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have a goal difference of negative three, have lost four games in a row in all competitions and are without a win in the Premier League since mid-October at QPR.
Here’s a roundup of media and fan reactions.
The (depressing) stats:
This is now Liverpool's worst start to a season since first Premier League season of 1992-93, when they had one point fewer after 12 games.

Liverpool won just one tackle between the 60th-80th minute vs Crystal Palace. They conceded twice during that period. pic.twitter.com/cpYm3wObnv

#LFC have only managed eight shots on target in their last three league matches.

The media reaction:
Never seen Brendan Rodgers as downhearted as he was post-match. 'I'm not so arrogant to believe I will be in a job through anything'

I know Liverpool are struggling but still find it absurdly premature for some to be suggesting Rodgers should be fired.

The most worrying thing for Liverpool is that there doesn't seem to be any obvious solutions to issues. Well, that, and six defeats in 12.

I'd love to know which bit of the180 page dossier says:
Build a Defence around Skrtel & GlenJo
Add Lovren
Play a 34 year old Gerrard at DM— Dan Kennett (@DanKennett) November 23, 2014
Rodgers has had 2.5 years to sort out the defence and it is getting worse. Kenny got sacked after winning a cup and nearly winning another.

I genuinely fear for Brendan now. Fully expect us to exit the Champions League and League Cup with a tough Xmas schedule around the corner

We NEVER look like scoring. Our passing is slow and predictable, with no movement to speak of. Throw a comedy defence into the mix and ..

Heard FSG are still right behind Rodgers & fully supportive of him. But to be perfectly honest he couldnt complain now if he got sacked #LFC

Worst of all Gerrard gone from my hero to a player I don't want playing. That's Rodgers' fault for playing him at DM & not managing him.

Awful display again today , Rodgers has got a lot to do now to win back the fans , Poor excuses don`t wash #LFC
