Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt is confident his side can win more Premier League points at Anfield this season.
Seven draws against the likes of Stoke, Fulham, West Ham and Hull ultimately cost Rafael Benitez's side their first Premier League title as they finished second, four points behind Manchester United.
Although they have already lost to Aston Villa at home this campaign - their first home league defeat since December 2007 - they also swept aside both Stoke and Burnley 4-0.
Kuyt believes that shows they have learned important lessons about playing against sides who arrive on Merseyside looking to frustrate.
'Apart from the Villa match, I think we have shown that we can beat any side at Anfield this season,' said the Holland international.
'We had difficulties last season with all the draws but now we are able to score goals in the first half.'
He added: 'It's really important to score as early as possible because then it will be more difficult for them and easier for us.
'We know the Premier League is one of the hardest leagues in the world and every team is good with some fine players.'
