Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho has urged teammates to "stay awake" after their collapse at Sevilla.

Liverpool blew a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 at their Champions League opponents this week.

"It wasn't a good result, we almost felt like we do after a defeat," Coutinho told the club's official website.

"We had a great first half and then in the second half we let everything unravel and so we were all feeling very frustrated.

"We have to stay awake all the time, 100 per cent. I think that the first half, the way we went into the game, we have to go into the second half [like that] too.

"And I think all of the players, we all switched off a little bit and we thought that at 3-0 it was going to be a little bit difficult for the opposition [to come back]."

Liverpool remain on course to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time since 2009 despite Tuesday night's setback.
