Aldridge acknowledged that the players are still putting in effort and showing desire, but the team's inability to adapt to different approaches and defend effectively is a major concern. He mentioned that other teams have shown Liverpool the path to victory, but they have not been able to capitalize on these opportunities.

Aldridge's comments come as a concern for manager Arne Slot, who is facing pressure to turn the team's fortunes around. While Aldridge noted that the players are still working hard, the team's recent performances have been disappointing.
