Jurgen Klopp has told his Liverpool side that they are not allowed to lose to long ball teams anymore after the Merseysiders' 2-2 draw with West Brom.
Jordan Henderson's early strike appeared to send the Reds on their way to victory but the hosts were soon pegged back when a Simon Mignolet mistake gifted Craig Dawson the chance to equalise.
Jonas Olsson headed the visitors in front but substitute Divock Origi netted a late leveller to rescue a point and spare Liverpool's blushes against Tony Pulis's side.
Klopp led his team's celebrations in front of the Kop at full time and is adamant that the club can no longer tolerate defeats to teams that set up in a similar style to the Baggies.
"This game was not a game to lose. The opponent played only long balls," he told the BBC.
"If you get points like this do it - but not here anymore. We have to stop this.
"If you want to defend against us it's no problem but the only plan of long balls is not allowed to win against us.
"So I feel really satisfied that we got this draw."
Klopp admitted that his Liverpool side struggled to cope with West Brom's willingness to defend in numbers and exploit set-piece situations but believes today's draw could prove to be a turning point in the season.
"It was not easy - the whole game was not easy," the German coach conceded.
"We played on Thursday on ice in Switzerland and today we played against a wall with only long balls and only set plays.
"We defended the set plays really bad.
"They have big quality in set plays - we knew this - the guys tried everything but at the end I can live with it.
"This could prove to be a very special moment for us in the season to strike back against such a team."
Liverpool currently occupy ninth place in the Premier League table and travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford next weekend.
