Plenty has been said since Liverpool suffered their first defeat at home to Everton in over 21 years, but for Jurgen Klopp and his Reds players, there is only one thing that matters.
There are several concerning statistics that Liverpool are currently having to deal with, but with their next home game against arguably their biggest rival for the top four in Chelsea, their Anfield run is a problem.
Addressing the fact that Liverpool have not won a game at since December 16, losing against Burnley, Brighton and now Everton, and have not scored a goal from open play since the draw with West Brom just over eight weeks ago, is a must.
"If I was to come up with an alternative [solution] on the spot, I’d argue there is too much predictability," said David Hughes on the Analysing Anfield podcast.
"They’ve used the same 4-3-3 for 80-plus per cent of their fixtures this season and that has hardly evolved for three years.
"Injuries aside, you are looking at the same profiles of players and the exact same system, and it is making Liverpool easier to play against.
"It is easier to find weaknesses in their game and to nullify their strengths.
"The derby is a good example - Everton adjusted a bit and Seamus Coleman was almost playing a hybrid role, dependent on the movement of Andy Robertson.

"They know how good Robertson is at what he does, so he was playing either a right-sided midfielder or dropping into a back-five depending on where Robertson was.
"These kinds of adjustments [can be key] and Everton have formulated that plan because they know exactly what to expect.
"Michael Keane talked about it afterwards - and I remember Ancelotti doing this with Chelsea in an FA Cup final - he basically said ‘you have played Liverpool plenty of times so what do you know about them?’.
"And the players all said ‘they like to do this’. Keane said about not getting sucked in with Roberto Firmino, who likes to drop in.
"They talked about Robertson and about the pressing, and this is the players, not the management.
"They were able to formulate a plan and nullify Liverpool and other teams have also been doing that recently.
"If you compare that to Manchester City, it feels like they do reinvent things every so often - look at Joao Cancelo, playing as a right-back but almost as a central midfielder.
"Chris Wilder, before Sheffield United played Manchester City this season, was asked what he thought about Cancelo’s new role and how he was going to nullify it.
"He basically said ‘I have no idea’ and that is a headache for the opposition."
Liverpool were simply too predictable and the Everton boss was able to meticulously put together a game plan, safe in the knowledge that the Reds were almost certain to set up exactly how they have been doing of late.
Wholesale changes are not the solution - Liverpool simply do not have the players for that even if it was a good idea - but simple tactical tweaks in various areas could be.
Diogo Jota will help in that regard, but there are other options - moving Sadio Mane into the centre, for instance - to consider too.
