Glen Johnson believes back-to-back clean sheets have given Liverpool the solid footing required to extend their unbeaten run.
The Reds have managed shut-outs in their last two fixtures with Debrecen and Everton to stretch their undefeated streak to five matches.
As Rafael Benitez's charges prepare to take on Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, Johnson has called on his teammates to maintain their defensive defiance at Ewood Park.
"We have had two clean sheets on the spin now and hopefully we have got a platform to build on when we go to Blackburn," said the full-back.
"We know that we haven't been picking up the results that people associated with this club expect, but there was no better place to start picking up points than at Goodison Park last weekend.
"Now we want to get on a good run. The next game is all that we can worry about but we want to be pushing up the table and hopefully we have made a start."
