Liverpool midfielder Lucas believes that a top-four finish in the Premier League is still possible, but does not think it would be wise to start thinking of Champions League football next season.
The Reds began their campaign in an ignominious fashion as they plummeted down into the relegation zone, but the appointment of Kenny Dalglish has seen the club come close to the European places after a series of positive results.
"I don’t think it would be clever on our part as a team to talk about the top four because two months ago we were three points off the relegation zone,” said Lucas, according to the Liverpool Echo.
"It is clear the team has improved and we are playing better but we have to keep going.
"In football everything can happen but we can take each game at a time.
"We should have killed the game [the 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic] and got three points but we move on and we have two important games in the Europa League now [against Sparta Prague]. There are still a lot of things to improve but our record is not too bad even with a draw.
"We know we must keep the same level of concentration every game to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table."
Liverpool currently lies sixth in the Premier League, eight points behind fourth-place Tottenham.
