Jurgen Klopp's team lost shockingly 2-1 at home to struggling Leeds on Saturday, shattering a streak of 29 home league matches without a loss and dropping them to mid-table, eight points off the top four.

Liverpool has dropped four league games this year, which is twice as many as they dropped in the entire previous season. Alexander-Arnold acknowledges that enthusiasm is diminishing with only two games left before the World Cup break—they also play Southampton after the trip to Tottenham.

According to the full-back, "I'd say we all believe in ourselves, the way we play, the team, and what we can accomplish.

But when you have difficulties, I believe it may lead you to doubt your decisions and yourself.

"Apparently, as a team, things is not running as well as we would like it to.

"That is indeed something everyone needs to consider, something everyone should confront, and we should all make sure we resolve it, especially next week when we play Tottenham, a top-four contender.

If we want to have any chance of accomplishing our goals and aspirations for the campaign, we really need to go out there and win some games.

The lowest goal would have likely been a top-four finish and Champions League eligibility, though Klopp acknowledged after the loss that his team is actually in serious danger of falling short of that objective.

Along with defensive deficiencies that Jesse Marsch's team once again uncovered, Liverpool has increasingly struggled to score goals.

Just three goals have been produced in the last four league games, while the 9-0 hammering of Bournemouth in August greatly pushes up the season's total of 23 goals.

With 22 shots against Leeds, at least Alexander-team Arnold's is still creating opportunities. The prospect of a midseason break and the chance to escape domestic issues is another comparatively tiny positive for the England defender to cling to.

"I believe that our current run of performance is not the brightest. I believe many players would agree with him on both their individual play and the team as a whole.

However, we continue to create opportunities for ourselves to score goals and win matches. But especially in the last two Premier League games, we have simply have been unable to handle them.

"I believe it's critical that we refocus and determine what's wrong. Pick up every point as you can now heading into this break, in my opinion, based on how it appears now currently.

And perhaps this break will come at a good time for us to reorganize and be able to recover our settings before the second part of the season.

After Mohamed Salah had equalized Rodrigo's opening goal, Crysencio Summerville celebrated his 21st birthday by scoring the game-winning goal in the 89th minute.

It was a strike that his boss Marsch praised, but he didn't waste any time in explaining why the journey to Anfield only gave the talented Dutchman his second Premier League start overall.

Marsch stated, "I believe he did pretty well last week off the bench and also against Leicester he was outstanding.

"We are aware that we have a talented player. He needs to focus on developing his potential and what it takes to succeed in the world of professional football, not on the other things that get in the way. His biggest strengths are discipline, professionalism, and hard work.

"I've assisted in making other attacking players into global superstars, and I believe 'Cree' has the ability to improve and play a significant role for us.

"We're working with him to improve his focus and comprehension of what it means to be a professional football player. I favor youthful athletes. I'm overjoyed, but we need to make sure he understands that this is only the early stages.

Klopp was challenged to ruminate on his team's failure to impose dominance over matches in this present campaign. They had 10 shots that were on goal and about 70% of the possession, yet they still lost.

"Without a doubt, that was a setback. After what I thought was a really strong start, we gave up a bizarre goal, Klopp stated.

"We leveled the score, but for some reason it didn't restore our assurance.

"We had trouble keeping the game under control and lost too many balls.

"The boys gave it their all, we had good possession and good chances, but in the end, if it's 1-1 and you defend the area around the second goal like this, you leave everything open," said the manager.
