That\u2019s the objective we\u2019ve all got in our minds,&#8221; Keita told the\u00a0  <em> official club website <\/em> . <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don\u2019t want to get too worried about the title race or the Champions League \u2013 the coach always tells us to focus on each game as it comes and concentrate on winning each game, then we\u2019ll see what happens afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to the next game and to boost confidence for the supporters and increase our own confidence again, so we can finish the season well. We\u2019re going to do everything we possibly can to win it, to get back on the right track once again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keita watched from the bench as Liverpool dropped points against an injury-hit Manchester United team on Sunday and\u00a0the midfielder was frustrated with the result at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGames like that are never easy, particularly when they\u2019re away from home,\u201d said the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, at the moment we\u2019d like to be winning every single game. When we went to Manchester, that\u2019s what we wanted \u2013 to win the game. But sometimes it\u2019s not easy, that\u2019s football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe picked up a point and we\u2019re a little bit disappointed. That can happen. We\u2019re a bit disappointed, we wanted three points. We ended up with one and I think that point might come in handy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe put in a decent performance and we did really want to win but it didn\u2019t quite come off \u2013 that\u2019s football. Now it\u2019s all about looking forward and trying to win the games ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guinean midfielder is keen to take it game by game as the Reds prepare to face Watford at Anfield on Wednesday Naby Keita has said that Liverpool need to be &#8220;fully focused and concentrated&#8221; as they enter the business end of the season.
