Manager Brendan Rodgers has called for a strong finish to the campaign after Liverpool's Europa League exit ended their hopes of silverware this season.
.
On Thursday, the 39-year-old's side were eliminated at the last-32 stage by Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg. But the Reds recovered from a three goal deficit in the tie to miss out on away goals after a rousing comeback.
.
"We lost the battle," he said. "But the war going forward will very much be won if we keep performing like that."
.
Liverpool's season at a glance

League Cup: Knocked out in fourth round by manager Brendan Rodgers's former club Swansea Europa League: Despite a rousing comeback, could not proceed past the round of 32 as Russian champions Zenit held on to win courtesy of an away goal from Hulk.

It is Rodgers's first season in charge at Anfield following his summer switch from Swansea. His team are seventh in the Premier League - outside the Champions League and Europa League qualification places - and were knocked out of both domestic cup competitions in the fourth round.
