Despite remaining in the bottom half of the Premier League table following a poor start to the season, the reds are only seven points adrift of Chelsea in third spot and the Brazilian believes they can start to narrow the gap.
“It shows the Premier League is very tight at the moment,” he said. “The gap to third place is not too bad. If we had had a few more wins we would be closer but we can’t change that.
“We have a lot of games now and if we can get three or four wins in a row I think we will be very close to the top four.
“We just have to think to move on to get more points, especially in the crucial time which is coming.
“If we can turn draws into wins it will be even better but we have to keep believing as there are a lot of positive things at the moment.”
Having already played the Premier League’s top seven-placed clubs, their next six fixtures are against teams in he lower half of the table.
The return of Lucas in the midfield holding role following three months out with a thigh strain gives Liverpool greater strength in a key position allowing Steven Gerrard and Joe Allen to play more advanced roles.
