BRAZILIAN youngster Lucas Leiva admits Liverpool must bounce back quickly with two home wins in a week if they are to wipe away the memory of their losing start to the new Barclays Premier League campaign.
Liverpool went down 2-1 at Tottenham, a team who beat them twice last season in the league and Carling Cup.
The game ended with assistant manager Sammy Lee sent off after a touchline row with the fourth official, and manager Rafael Benitez complaining that Liverpool were robbed of two penalties.
Now Liverpool face two Anfield dates to put things right, against Stoke on Wednesday and Aston Villa next Monday.
Lucas said: “Everyone is very disappointed but we haven’t got time to think about this for long.
“We have another game on Wednesday, and then next Monday, and we have to put the defeat by Spurs behind us.
“We must look forward and we now have two games at home in front of our own fans. We must aim to get six points.”
