The Brazilian midfielder admits yesterday's defeat at Spurs was disappointing and has vowed to put it behind him by helping the Reds to a home win over Stoke on Wednesday.

"We are very disappointed. We came here looking for a good result, but Tottenham played really well," said Lucas.

"The first half wasn't good for us and they pressed us really hard. I think if we had kept better possession of the ball it could have been key for us.

"We were better in the second half - we created some chances and could have had a penalty towards the end.

"Although we are disappointed, we now have to look forward to our next two matches at home and hope to take six points.

"We have to improve, we know that. Now we have two matches at home and we know we have to be stronger, especially for our fans.

"We have to try and beat Stoke and afterwards we can think about the next game with Aston Villa. We want to take six points."
