Jurgen Klopp's "smiley" disposition at Melwood helped inspire Liverpool's return to form against Bournemouth on Saturday, according to Andy Robertson.
The Reds were accused of letting nerves get the better of them after seeing their Premier League title hopes dented by back-to-back draws with Leicester City and West Ham United.
But Robertson insists there was no change in Klopp's temperament during the sort of difficult week that has been a rarity for his team so far this season.
And the Scot believes that played a big role in helping him and his teammates get back on track by beating Eddie Howe's men 3-0 at Anfield.
Robertson said: “[He's] probably been more smiley! He is just trying to get us going and it's obviously worked.
"In terms of the players we've not seen any difference in any of the staff and that feeds into the players and we've not changed, whether we draw, win or lose it doesn't change.
"We just want to get to the next game whatever the result is and that is no different after today.
“He has been calm and the backroom staff have been a different class. They are the team behind the team and they are the ones who keep us going and positive.
"When people say he is nervous or we are nervous it couldn't be further from the truth. It's a relaxed training ground and it is all about winning games.
"The only thing we get annoyed about – not nervous about – is that we want to win every game and if we have a bad result we use that to put in a positive performance the next game and that's what we've done.
"Since Monday we've studied this game. We wanted to have a clean sheet and we wanted to get some goals back in and it could have been a lot more but today it was all about getting the three points and now we wait 10 days for the next game but we'll wait for that."
Liverpool's comfortable win over the Cherries was also aided by a noticeably less anxious Anfield atmosphere than that witnessed against Leicester.
Robertson could not praise the supporters enough for their contributions and called for more of the same during the run-in.
He added: "It makes a huge difference. Some people go to the game and maybe don't understand how important they are at affecting it but they are.
"Even when we came out for the warm-up, it was a good reception and you could tell the fans were up for it. We were up for it already.
"We couldn't wait to get out to get the warm up done and get started. That's the way it was today.
"I think everyone was really positive and hopefully that continues from now until the end of the season."
The Reds' early exit from the FA Cup means they now have a 10-day break before their campaign resumes with a Champions League last-16 first-leg tie against Bayern Munich at Anfield.
And Robertson expects Klopp's men to make the most of the training time available to them as they prepare for a crucial week that also features a trip to face Manchester United.
“In the season it's very rare we've got a full week to work but we've got 10 days until our next game, which is unheard of," the Scotland captain added.
"It will be a positive camp, full of training, and I am sure lads coming back from injury will be fairly fit after the camp. It's all about working on things we think we can do better.
"There are always things, we're not a complete team, we can always do thing better. We are all looking forward to it, looking forward to the next four days."
