Liverpool went down 2-1 on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur, a team who beat them twice last season in the league and Carling Cup.
Now Liverpool face two Anfield dates to put things right, against Stoke City on Wednesday and Aston Villa next Monday.
Lucas said: "Everyone is very disappointed but we haven't got time to think about this for long.
"We have another game on Wednesday, and then next Monday, and we have to put the defeat by Spurs behind us.
"We must look forward and we now have two games at home in front of our own fans. We must aim to get six points."
Liverpool only lost two league matches throughout last season, so another slip-up in the next week will see the club engulfed in criticism.
And Lucas has not forgotten how tough Stoke made it for Liverpool last season at Anfield by forcing a damaging goalless draw, one of the several poor home displays that ultimately cost Liverpool the title.
Lucas said: "It will not be easy against Stoke because they will get men behind the ball and they won't give us space.
"We had two draws against them last season so we know what to expect. But at home we will have a lot more possession than we had at Spurs and hopefully we will create more and score more goals."
