JAMIE CARRAGHER today promised Liverpool will aim to finish the season with four wins as he pinpointed poor away form as the reason they have struggled so badly.[LNB]The Reds' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were all but dashed at Anfield yesterday, as they drew 0-0 with Fulham and Manchester City beat Birmingham 5-1.[LNB]With Fernando Torres absent due to a knee problem that has required a trip to Barcelona to see specialist Ramon Cugat, Liverpool failed to put their visitors under pressure.[LNB]It brought an end to Liverpool's eight-game winning sequence at home, a record that is a direct opposite of their form on the road.[LNB]Liverpool have not won away in the Premier League since beating Aston Villa 1-0 on December 29 and Carragher says that is the reason they will miss out on the top four.[LNB]'When you play for Liverpool, you just keep going,' he said. 'That's the least you can do. It's going to be very difficult now but all we can do is try and win our games. If we do that, we will see where it takes us.
