Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has said that his team need to be more ruthless.
The Reds find themselves seventh in the Premier League, with their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League all but dead.
Last week's shock 2-1 home defeat to Wigan Athletic means that they have lost five of their last six games.
"Maybe our education in how to win a game means we don't need to be the attractive passing team we want to be," said the Scot. "Sometimes we've got to be more ruthless — it's all part and parcel of learning.
"We can win a game but you've also got to learn how not to lose one. We are good enough to win every game but maybe we've got to learn as well as the players and pass that education on to them."
Liverpool travel to sixth-placed Newcastle United on Sunday.
