Philippe Coutinho insists he still believes in Jurgen Klopp and that is why he signed a new contract, after Liverpool endured their worst week under the manager.
The Reds lost three successive matches at Anfield and were dumped out of the EFL Cup semi-finals and FA Cup fourth round ahead of a crucial Premier League title clash with Chelsea on Tuesday night.
Coutinho's signing of a new five-year contract and continued return from injury off the subs' bench were the only positives but he is looking for the team to bounce back immediately.
"I would like to say it is not about one week, no matter how bad that is, it is about the future with this squad," he said.
"Yes, it has been a bad week, but we are looking beyond that. Of course we believe we can win titles under this manager - we are confident that will happen - and I signed because the manager is a winner.
"I believe in what he does and everyone inside the dressing room believes he will take this team to titles; that is why I signed a new contract and that is what we want to do."
"We have another opportunity straight away to bounce back and it is a good opportunity, a big game against Chelsea. We have a few days to prepare everything and to go again and that is what we must do now.
"The club is very ambitious. The players and the manager all are focused. Everyone believes in that and everyone wants to bounce back at this moment."
