Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp felt they showed the right character for Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
The Reds fought back from 2-0 down to draw on the day.
Klopp later said, "Going 2-0 down is not so cool. The first goal was, I would say, kind of unlucky; Robbo slips, they go inside and then it's two rebounds - I'll have to watch it back, but that's how I saw it in the first place. In the end, Martinelli gets a foot on it. That's the 1-0. The 2-0 happened in a situation which we shouldn't have had that often: not the cross and the ball in, [but] that the ball arrives there and we didn't have a challenge beforehand.
"So, for that we needed a higher last line - that was a massive subject all of the time. I understand with the threat they are on the wings with Saka and Martinelli speed-wise that it doesn't feel massively comfortable but we have to do it anyway. In the moment when we started getting more compact, line higher, midfield closer, front three together it was not as easy anymore. In the moment when we got that, we were better in the game.
"In possession it was OK, it was like a lot of long balls because we didn't maybe move enough in decisive areas, it was a slightly different set-up which the boys had to adapt to to get that. But long balls is not a problem, we can go for second balls and we had a few good ones where we could make more of it. We had chances before we scored, good moments, to be honest, [but we] didn't use them.
"Then the goal is the most helpful stuff in football because then before half-time it's 2-1 and I think everybody felt we can turn this game around. That's what we actually did performance-wise, result-wise halfway. The question I had in my mind when I walked in after the game was, 'How can we not win this game?' But we didn't.
"It's a point and that's OK. It's another step in the right direction I would say. It's the first time in a long time we reacted really well, we didn't fall apart. That could have happened with everything that happened already this year - 1-0, 2-0 and then a next chance for 3-0, but that didn't happen because we looked better. We looked more ready in these moments to fight back. That's what we did and in the second half we should have turned the game completely around with the chances we had. At least a point is OK."
