Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson doesn't believe his players are suffering a confidence crisis.
After defeat at Everton, though disappointed with the performance, Hodgson refuted suggestions from journalists his players are suffering from a lack of confidence.
He said: "I didn't see it (a lack of confidence) with Maxi Rodriguez, Gerrard, Meireles or any of the back players. I thought all of those showed plenty of confidence in themselves.
"Fernando (Torres) is going through a bad time, he needs a goal and his confidence is low.
"I wouldn't say it is a question of too many (players) lacking confidence, but people are playing under pressure. That's the bottom line.
"We've taken six points from eight games and every game we don't win, the pressure builds up even more. That will affect people's confidence in the long run."
