Fabio Aurelio believes the team and not Rafa Benitez should take the slack for Liverpool's worst run in 22 years.
The Reds are in the midst of a crisis following Tuesday's home defeat by Lyon in the UEFA Champions League which condemned them to their fourth successive defeat in all competitions.
Wednesday's aftermath has seen question marks raised over the future of Benitez and the Spanish tactician will have to mastermind another European fightback to keep the Reds' Champions League hopes alive.
And Aurelio insists the players are ready to do just that as he targets maximum points from the rest of their games in Group E.
"We must concentrate on winning our final three games in Europe, pressure is building on us," the defender said.
"But the players know that we are the only people who can change what is going wrong.
"We know what we have to do. We have to change the feeling that we are not a strong team now, especially after what we achieved last season."
