Lucas Calls For Better Home Form

Liverpool midfielder Lucas has admitted the Reds need to improve their home form ahead of Saturday's Anfield clash with Swansea.

Kenny Dalglish's side have dropped points against Sunderland and Norwich at home already and have failed to keep a clean sheet at Anfield all season.

Brazilian midfielder Lucas says they need to start turning draws into wins if they are to mount a top-four challenge this season.

"The points that we have dropped, especially in the home games, could be crucial in the end but I am still really confident that we will have a good season," Lucas told the Liverpool Daily Post.

"We have to make sure we get the points we need, especially at home, because that will be very important for us.

"The results may not have been the best just yet but there are a lot of new players that came in and it always takes time to settle and build an understanding."

Lucas insists the Reds are creating enough chances to win games comfortably so is confident of three points this weekend when Swansea visit.

"We know we have to improve our finishing but I think we are creating so many chances," he added. "That means we are doing something right.

"If you look at the number of chances we have created throughout the whole season and think about the number of times we have hit the post or the bar, then there are plenty of positives."
