Riise said: "Of course, we could see the table and the fact we were seven points clear, so that can do things. For a start, it makes other teams want to beat you more. And also, there is no way of predicting what is going to happen. You can be 20 points clear and someone can turn it around.
"That's the reality of things and that's why football is so exciting. But we're bouncing back now and we're ready to take on West Ham at Upton Park today and go on another great run. People say our season is ruined, but there is still plenty of silverware for Liverpool to win.
"You never know. There are still enough games for us to be champions again."
