Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says a top-four finish in the Premier League and a trophy remains a realistic aim.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are 14th in the Premier League, while they are also struggling in the Europa League.
Asked what Liverpool’s realistic target was, Gerrard told Football Focus: “Top four and a trophy.”
Questioned whether that was still achievable, he said: “Yes. We’re six games in. The Norwich win will be the catalyst to push us on.”
Liverpool beat Norwich 5-2 on Saturday, but lost 3-2 at home to Udinese on Thursday in the Europa League.
Gerrard said: “I think teams will find it really difficult to play against us and I’m confident we can go on a run of winning games.
Former Swansea manager Rodgers took over from club legend Kenny Dalglish in June but Liverpool have won only one league match out of six and are only three points above bottom-of-the-table QPR.
After the Udinese loss Rodgers called his players lazy.
But midfielder Gerrard, whose side play Stoke at Anfield on Sunday before another home game against Reading, said: “I’m confident we can go on a run of winning games.
“They are good opportunities but they are also tough games. They are games we should be winning, certainly here at home.
“We’ve being playing well for a number of weeks, so if we can continue that I am sure we can take maximum points in both those games.”
