Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has called on his side to avoid the errors committed in the West Brom game, ahead of their Premier League clash against Fulham on Wednesday.
The Reds went in to the West Brom clash on the back of a 4-0 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby.

Despite taking the lead at the Hawthorns, Brendan Rodgers’ side conceded a second-half equaliser to return home with just a solitary point, which undid almost all the good work from the Everton game.
A similar situation dawns upon Liverpool again following their 5-1 thrashing of Arsenal at the weekend to consolidate fourth spot.

And Gerrard is keen to avoid a repeat performance of the West Brom game as the England international underlined the importance of finishing the season in a Champions League spot.
The 33-year-old further added that it is much more important to attain the full points against Fulham rather than basking in the glory of the famous victory over Arsenal.
"I think the thing after a performance like that is: can we motivate ourselves to get close to producing something similar against Fulham?" Gerrard explained to his club’s official site.
"If we do, we will do the same to Fulham.
"But that is the dangerous thing. We performed fantastically against Everton and then slipped up against West Brom having taken the lead. We should have seen that game out.
"You can set markers and you can have one-off games but it means nothing if you don't continue to play well and get something from it at the end of the season.
"We aren't going to look back at the end of the season and think 'How good were we against Arsenal?' if we never got the top four.
"We can enjoy this but we have got to move on quickly and try to get three points against Fulham."
