Alisson Becker admits Liverpool will have no chance of ensuring a glorious finale for Jurgen Klopp this season unless they regain their mean streak -
Alisson also revealed his difficulties during a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Alisson is expected to make only his second Europa League appearance of the season when the Reds aim to pull off a remarkable comeback
Klopp's side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine games
But Alisson admits Liverpool cannot afford to be too downhearted by the recent blip in form while urging better defending as a team.
Alisson
“Two bad results,"
"We cannot make the mistake of making it bigger than it is. Of course, losing 3-0 at home is something we can't accept as LFC players.
“We have to improve our performances but if I was being more precise the things we have to do better are we have to go back to keeping clean sheets and scoring the chances we have, the clear chances we have in front of goal
"I'm saying that because I trust a lot my strikers and defenders and I know the quality we have as a team. If we attack and defend as a team then we can go back to winning games."
Alisson added:
“We start from that. This has to be our goal for the rest of the season, next season and seasons to come.
“Keeping clean sheets is the basis for a successful team, we did that in the past and the trophies we won we were solid defensive-wise.
"That's not only depending on the defenders but the whole team, we have to defend together and fight to get the ball back, close gaps, win challenges, block shots, stopping crosses, making difficult saves, we have to do that as a team, go back to get the clean sheets.
“That's the basis for us, not only for tomorrow but for the rest."
