What Slot said

Despite dominating the match and registering 32 shots, the Reds were held by a resilient Burnley side fighting to avoid relegation. 

The result, which saw Dominik Szoboszlai miss a penalty, means Liverpool have now won just one of their last four Premier League matches, although they remain fourth in the table.

Addressing the boos after the game, Slot showed empathy for the supporters' reaction. "If you, as Liverpool, are not disappointed by having a draw at home to Burnley, then something is completely wrong," he told reporters

"I completely understand the frustration. I have the same frustrations, and the players definitely have the same frustrations, as the fans."

The manager reflected on his team's inability to secure a win despite creating numerous chances, a recurring theme this season.

"It's not for the first time; it is usually frustrating," Slot added. "I think today was a game where I liked seeing us have even more possession than we would usually have, generating a lot of chances... but we controlled that really well."
