The home support booed the full-time whistle at Anfield for the first time this season.
Liverpool had lost three of its three home league games to newly promoted teams for the first time since the 1980-81 top-flight season.
Before drawing 0-0 against Leeds on January 1st, Arne Slot’s side lost 1-1 to Sunderland last month. The set was finished with a 1-1 draw at Burnley.
When asked about the boos, Slot responded, “In my head, it wasn’t booing but it was also frustration.” Something is wrong if Liverpool aren’t let down by a draw at home to Burnley.
I fully comprehend your frustration. The players and I both experience the same frustrations, just like the fans do.
His team, in all fairness, won this game well against a Burnley side that had only made one attempt on target.
The statistics alone told the truth. In the opposition box, Liverpool made 76 touches, made 32 shots, made 11 shots, and had a 2.95 xG.
Slot told Match of the Day, “I think we ought to have won this game.” In terms of chance creation, there wasn’t much more I could ask. Although we possess a lot of ball possession, I would like to create more.
At the start of the second half, it seemed as though it would only take a second goal for Florian Wirtz to match Florian’s first-half goal.
The infamous chant “A team that plays the Liverpool way” was heard from the Kop.
Although it wasn’t particularly heavy metal football, Liverpool were playing with some more energy and joining the Burnley backline after weeks of having trouble breaking down low blocks.
Before Gakpo had a shot cut off the line, Wirtz came in close again, but unexpectedly Burnley found a leveller through Marcus Edwards to silence Anfield.
“We didn’t turn the ball out from the back, but I wouldn’t say that.” That is a game of football. The Liverpool manager continued, “This is another example of how our season is summarized,” adding that.
The frustration persisted for Slot. In retrospect, the outcome of Dominik Szoboszlai’s first-half penalty might have been different, but Liverpool should have put the game to bed before Burnley could have equalized.
Not for the first time, they say. The Liverpool manager said, “It is typically frustrating. They “come in various ways.” Sometimes we score in stoppage time and you anticipate winning the game before giving up yet another goal.
“But yes, in football, one team can have two chances, one of which was almost an own goal by us, and one team can score one goal, the other team can have multiple chances, and each team can score just one goal.”
The damning thing about Liverpool is that they should have won at least three of their previous four league draws even though they are now 12 games without defeat.
In addition to the draw at Arsenal, they have lost points at home to Leeds and Burnley and were unable to hold onto a lead at Fulham despite scoring in the 94th minute.
With those extra six points, Liverpool would now be 42 points, seven points clear of Manchester United in fifth place and one point clear of Aston Villa, who are second and third.
Bemoaned Slot, “We have dropped far too many points when we didn’t deserve to to and we hardly ever got a point when we deserved less.” We are the only ones to blame.
In the upcoming days at the very least, Liverpool can anticipate having Mohamed Salah back.
Salah will return to Merseyside in the coming days after missing a penalty in the shootout at the Africa Cup of Nations against Egypt.
