Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has promised to remain positive after a difficult season at Anfield. The Brazilian is keen to make an impact and believes he will progress as a player if he continues to work hard.

He told the club's official website: "I have had some bad times, especially the last time I started at Anfield against Fulham but you just have to keep your head up and keep working hard.

"I'm trying to improve in every game and hopefully I can show my quality every time I play."
