"Every defeat in the league is big one for us because you just want to win and compete with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea so we can't afford to lose any more," said the striker.
"We just have to look at the next games and look forward.
"We have to win our next three now at Derby, Manchester City and at home to Wigan and if we can get nine points from those games I think we will get closer to the other teams.
"We want to go on a run and win a lot of games."
