Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants more effort off the ball from his players.
The Reds visit League Cup finalists Newcastle United on Saturday evening aiming to avoid a fourth successive away Premier League defeat of the calendar year.
Having lost 3-1 at Brentford and 3-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the last six weeks, not since September 1954 have Liverpool conceded three goals in four consecutive league games on their travels.
Klopp is hopeful the performance in Monday's 2-0 home derby win over Everton that earned a first league triumph since Boxing Day can prove the catalyst for another lengthy sequence of victories.
"Yes, I think (we can go on a run) but we have to show that," said the Reds boss. "It was incredibly difficult last year, and it's always incredibly difficult. If you go through the games, I'm pretty sure we won some of them late, we weren't always brilliant, we forced luck here and there and had other games where we were really flying, an early lead. Different moments.
"We didn't have these kind of situations really often (this season). A big part of the season I'm being asked about us being 1-0 down. We kept that for a pretty long time.
"You need to be stable to go through this (kind of winning run). That's the difference from the games we won against Aston Villa and Leicester after the World Cup to the game against Everton - this was us. The intensity was there. Yes, the goals were counter-attacks. But with all the bad things we did this season, we still have the second-most shots on targets I think, at least until last week, we still have the second-highest possession.
"And counter-attacking goals, I pretty much can't remember (us scoring any). Those kind of goals, it doesn't mean you defend deep all the time and then you have the chance to counter, we don't have that situation that often. But there are situations like after defending set-pieces where you can react quick, but you need different things like the awareness, the runs and, of course, precision with the passes."
Klopp added: "The intensity I loved the most from the Everton game. Not how much we were running but how intense we were in these moments. That creates the rhythm for us. We know tomorrow is Newcastle and nothing else. That's already difficult enough but it must be much more difficult for Newcastle than it was for all the other teams we have visited in previous times."
Liverpool have qualified for the Champions League in each of the last six seasons, including 2020/21 when, with only 10 games remaining, they were in eighth place and eight points adrift before eventually finishing third.
And asked if the feeling would be the same if qualification was achieved this season, Klopp said: "Yeah, yeah. It will be cool... but it's a long way!"
