In a display of brutal honesty, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez confessed that he has been utterly disappointed by the club's performances in the league this season.The Uruguayan has only scored seven goals in the league this term as the Reds have fallen well off the pace in the race for Champions League qualification. At this late stage of the season, they are 13 points behind Tottenham who occupy fourth place.
The only bright spot in the current campaign has been their Carling Cup victory over Cardiff and fans are hoping that they will at least reach the FA Cup final after they were drawn against Merseyside rivals Everton for the semi-final.
But Suarez concedes that his side have severely failed to live up to the expectations set upon them after a summer of heavy investment and with the fans harbouring high hopes after a dismal couple of seasons.
"Our goal this season was to win trophies and qualify for the Champions League," Suarez admitted to the Sun.
"The first part is fulfilled but we have failed in our other dream. Nobody could have believed we would be beaten by QPR and Wigan.
"What's gone wrong? We have incredibly missed out in the last minutes of matches, we've been affected by injuries and cards.
"The squad is angry and we really want to win at Newcastle on Sunday."
He believes that their injury-time loss to Arsenal was the start of a calamitous loss of form that has seen them double their loss tally and fail to find their clinical touch in recent games.
"The problem stems from that day," Suarez said.
"It was a key match and the defeat really affected us. If we had beaten the Gunners everything could have changed.
"Our mission [now] is to finish in the highest position possible and to fight for the FA Cup.
"To win two cups will be the best we can give to the fans who demanded that we play in Europe's top competition.
"But there is always pressure because Liverpool is obliged to win every game and be high up in the table."
Suarez also defended team-mate Andy Carroll who has failed to live up to his £35 million price tag. The striker returns to his old club and all eyes will be focused on how the ex-Geordie handles the occasion.
"This is going to be a special match for Andy. He needs to demonstrate his quality and I have no doubt he will.
"Andy is a big forward but the pressure is not easy to overcome as a rookie. I had the same experience when I joined Ajax and Liverpool.
"Andy is working very well in training. He's always scoring and I'd be very happy if he did so on Sunday, although I don't think he will celebrate if it happens.
"It won't be easy at Newcastle. Few people thought they would be fifth and in with a chance of the Europa League but they've merited their success.
"But we want to restore our pride after our run of defeats - and we must give some joy back to the fans."
Suarez also agreed that he hasn't been good enough this season and he hopes to address his finishing problems and get more goals by the end of the current campaign. He also wants to return to Wembley and hopefully help his side achieve a Cup double.
"My job is to score goals and I admit I have not always fulfilled it this season," he said.
"Last year I was marked less tightly and that helped but, since August, defenders have known my style and it has been more difficult to surprise them.
"I'll keep on fighting. I want more of those big moments celebrating with the fans.
"Winning the Carling Cup was very special and now, to beat Everton and make the FA Cup final, that would be magic.
"Wembley is a temple for any footballer to play a final and to clinch a trophy is something to remember for a lifetime."
