"There has been a change; at Anfield we've been pretty consistent throughout the season, but on the road there have been some ups and downs", the midfielder told his club's site.
"Recently we've been a lot more consistent and the results have certainly shown that.
"It's purely down to focus with us.
"We know we're a hungry and determined bunch of players who are willing to work for each other on the pitch, and that's the reason it's worked.
"Everyone is willing to do it, so it's a great feeling to play in a team that you know are going to give it everything for each other."
Liverpool are next in action on Sunday when they travel south to face West Ham, aiming to remain top of the Premier League.
