The Reds are on their worst run of form for 22-years, ahead of their clash with champions Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
“I am relaxed now that Argentina have qualified for the World Cup finals, I can concentrate only on Liverpool,” said the midfield general.
“This is not a good situation at the club, and I want to give Liverpool my best.
“I am captain of my country, and we were really under pressure in the final two qualifying games; people said we were out, that was very difficult.
“But we won both those games. We have qualified. Maybe it will be the same for Liverpool now if we start to win, things will start to happen for us.”
“If we can beat United then the confidence will be back, it is important to do that,” he continued.
“We beat them twice last season. We know what we are capable of. Hopefully our form will be like that on Sunday.
“It is a difficult situation, we have lost four in a row. But do not forget that this is a team who last season were doing very well, we must keep going and working.
“The team is not playing well, and a lot of players are not in the best form. That is not good and we are losing confidence, but we have to believe that we can overcome this.”
He added: “Even without Steven, or Fernando, we believe we can still win matches. We won a lot of games last season without the pair of them on the pitch together.
“We are trying all the time to give our best. Maybe now we have to show character, personality and hard work.
“It is difficult. Liverpool is not a team that loses a lot of games. Now we have lost six games this season, that is different for us and difficult.
“We cannot let that bother us. We must think only of winning on Sunday. We can still win the league, but we must start winning and stop dropping so many points.”
