Steven Gerrard insists Liverpool have to start 'dictating' games rather than relying on late comebacks.
The Reds are riding high in the Premier League, but they have had to come from behind on four different occasions to win and retain their unbeaten status.
Their latest comeback came against Wigan at the weekend, when they twice went behind to Amr Zaki goals, but they fought back to seal a 3-2 triumph.
Although Gerrard is pleased with the battling qualities shown by the side, he admits they need to start dominating teams from the start.
"In the past few weeks we have proved that you can never count us out in any situation, and the battling qualities we have shown are very important," he said in the Daily Mirror.
"But we know that we can not keep conceding the lead in games like we have done in the last two matches.
"Sooner or later it is going to catch up with us, and we'll pay the price.
"We have shown the grit, determination and belief that there is in this squad this season, but we have to start dictating games.
"However we are full of confidence after what we have achieved, and we believe that there is a lot more to come from this side than we have seen so far.
"We are ready to take it on to another level and the confidence we now have will help us."
