As a result, Liverpool became the first reigning champions in Premier League history to fail to win at home against the three sides promoted from the Sky Bet Championship.<\/p>\n
There were loud jeers at the final whistle and Slot \u2013 whose side had 32 shots but managed only 11 on target \u2013 understood why.<\/p>\n
“In my head it wasn\u2019t booing but in my head it was frustration as well,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We have to give credit to Burnley for defending, clearing balls off the line, all the things you want to see if you are the Burnley manager, trying everything to prevent us scoring.<\/p>\n
“But if you, as Liverpool, are not disappointed by having a draw at home to Burnley then something is completely wrong.<\/p>\n
“I completely understand the frustration. I have the same frustrations and the players definitely have the same frustrations as the fans.<\/p>\n

\nFlorian Wirtz put Liverpool ahead, but they couldn’t find a crucial second goal<\/p>\n
“Today was a game where I liked seeing us have even more possession than we would usually have, generating a lot of chances and usually that comes with, if you take more risk, with the other team counter-attacking you but we controlled that really well.<\/p>\n
“But in football one team can have two chances \u2013 one was almost an own goal for us (when Ibrahima Konate forced Alisson Becker to save at close-range) \u2013 and score one goal when the other team has multiple chances and score just one goal as well and then you get the result you get.”<\/p>\n
Burnley boss Scott Parker, whose side have not won in 13 matches \u2013 which includes nine defeats \u2013 praised his players for seizing their opportunity.<\/p>\n
“We had to weather a lot in the first half but we showed more of our quality in the second half,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We changed a few things at half-time, it was important we were still in the game then, we were braver in possession and well worthy of our goal. It was an incredible finish (by Edwards).<\/p>\n
“The penalty was soft but once the referee gives it on-field it\u2019s never going to be overturned. The key for us was getting in at half-time still in the game so we could fix a few things.”<\/p>\n
Burnley defender Axel Tuanzebe raced down the tunnel at full-time \u2013 for good reason.<\/p>\n
“Axel\u2019s wife has gone into labour,” said Parker. “It was touch and go whether he would play today as it was going on for about 16 hours but we had a car outside with the engine running and he\u2019s with her now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot accepted it was understandable fans booed after they failed to beat struggling Burnley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-250181","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
