Liverpool have been latelty not the best and if they do not make an effort they could exit the run for the title. Their captain said the current situation is their fault and believes they have to improve.
"As players we take the responsibility as we feel as though we have let ourselves down, the manager down and the fans down," he said.
"Putting in that performance [against Spurs] doesn't make up for it but it is a start and a step in the right direction. Now we have to build on that and keep going.
"You have to stick together. It was a tough time because we knew we hadn't won for so long and performance levels were not up to standard but you have to stay together and keep believing, and I felt we did that.
"I wouldn't question the attitude of the players, it is very good, but there are one or two things we need to work on which we did last week in training which could help us going forward.
"I felt as though we've always had confidence and belief but performances over recent weeks haven't been up to the standard we've set ourselves, and we've been punished.
"I thought everyone showed great character against Tottenham and now we have to make sure we are consistent with it.
"We have fantastic quality in the team, great mentality and great character, but it is no good me saying that - it is up to us to show that from now until the end of the season."
