I agree that the pot is a little small, but don't go with too big of a pot either, I bet the soil has been drained of any nutrients. If it were my plant, I'd go ahead and cut off about two of those damaged leaves and the dead leaf as well to start...use a sharp knife or razor and cut them close to the main stalk...also get rid of those dead stalks that have no leaves. The leafs also look kind of dusty, so clean them off gently with a wet rag.

Let the plant rest for awhile after doing all of the above and see if it rebounds and throws out any new growth...if it does, cut out a couple more of those damaged leaves. Don't do too much all at once.

Also, don't use plant food until the spring & let the soil dry out between waterings...especially in the winter.
