Liverpool defender Kolo Toure believes a recent improvement in the mindset within the squad means they now refuse to accept lost causes.
Joe Allen's 90th-minute equalizer in the 3-3 draw at home to Premier League leaders Arsenal salvaged something which was more valuable than a point - and that was belief.
A week previously they stoutly defended a 1-0 lead in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final at Stoke and even the scratch side put out against Exeter in the FA Cup displayed character as they twice came from behind to secure a replay.
“There has been a big improvement recently (in our mental strength) and that's very important when you're at a big club. You can't ever give up,” said Toure, whose whole-hearted effort is appreciated by fans.
“When you refuse to lose games, you often find yourself winning them.”
“It's always important that if you don't win, you don't lose.”
This season Liverpool's record against their traditional rivals - Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United - is much improved with just one defeat coming at Old Trafford in September, signalling the beginning of the end of Brendan Rodgers' time in charge.
Since Klopp took over they have won 3-1 and 4-1 at Chelsea and City respectively. [Source]
