Adam Lallana believes the lack of "winning" experience in Liverpool's squad has cost his side over the last month.
Jurgen Klopp's side have yet to win a Premier League match in 2017 and their run of two points from a possible 12 has seen them slip outside the top four for the first time since September 24.
Liverpool's league defeats this season have come against Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea and Hull - all teams currently in the bottom nine - while leaders Chelsea keep grinding out victories, beating Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace and Sunderland 1-0 in closely-fought encounters.
"You can see they have a lot of experience and that they are used to winning," Lallana said in the Liverpool Echo.
"They know how to win games even when not at their best. You don't have to always win by scoring five or six.
"Maybe that's an area we need to improve on. We maybe need to realise how good we are at times."
Klopp has assembled a team full of potential, but Lallana admits only James Milner has an impressive trophy cabinet.
"Milly (James Milner) is probably the only one in our group who has that type of experience because it only comes from winning silverware like he did at Manchester City," Lallana added.
"Myself and the other players haven't won titles or loads of cups so we need to learn from him and listen to him because that type of experience is vital.
"We need to learn and get back to winning ways in the league as soon as possible."
