Liverpool goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri has targeted a top-four finish and victory in the Europa League as the Reds recover from their FA Cup exit at the hands of Reading.
The Brazilian is already looking ahead to the weekend's game against Stoke City and insists that it is vital Rafa Benitez's men win at the Britannia Stadium.
"We still have two more targets. The first one is the top four in the Premier League," the 27-year-old told the Reds' official website.
"Stoke will be a difficult game this weekend, but we need to go there and try to get the three points.
"There is also the Europa League, and we will do everything to try and win that trophy."
Cavalieri admitted that defeat after extra-time to Brian McDermott's Royals was very hard to stomach.
"It was a difficult game. I think we had more possession and control and we were unlucky at the end," he said.
"We had a chance to progress, but we conceded a penalty in the last minute.
"These things can happen in football and we are really frustrated because we wanted to win this trophy.
"It is also difficult for me because when I have a chance, I need to play well."
Cavalieri is hopeful that new signing Maxi Rodriguez can give the Reds a much needed boost, however.
"He is a good player," he added.
"He has played well in Madrid and also for Argentina and I think he can help us. It is a good signing."
