Liverpool's home draw against Burnley has left the Reds ruing on what could have been, according to manager Arne Slot. The Belgian tactician admitted that his team missed too many chances in their 1-1 stalemate at Anfield.
"We can only blame ourselves for dropped points," Slot said post-match, reflecting on a performance that had promise but ultimately fell short. "We had a good start, created some nice moments, and had a few big chances. But we couldn't quite finish them off."
Burnley's strike duo of Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood proved to be Liverpool's undoing, with the visitors scoring in just 10 minutes after falling behind. Slot acknowledged that his team struggled to adapt to the Clarets' high-intensity pressing game.
"Burnley were quick on the counter and caught us out a few times," Slot said. "We had some moments of beauty, but we couldn't sustain our pressure over the full 90 minutes."
The draw means Liverpool now sit third in the Premier League table, with Burnley moving into fifth place after their impressive away victory.

ugh i dunno about lfc's performance last nite... they had so many chances to take the lead and just couldn't capitalize 
ashley barnes & chris wood killed them with those quick counter-attacks 
burnley's press was way too intense for them to handle 
now they're in 5th place and lfc is stuck in 3rd... maybe they should've gone all out against burnley 
. I mean, they scored a goal and created some nice moments, right? It's not like they got destroyed or anything 
. And Burnley only scored in 10 minutes, that's not like they were dominating the whole game 
. Liverpool just had some off days, you know? They'll bounce back from this, and hopefully next time they'll finish their chances 
.
but did he even watch the match? i mean burnley scored in like 10 mins and liverpool was all over them 
. arne slot needs to sit down & have a cuppa before giving interviews lol. and btw, what's with these teams getting all these draws?! its so boring 
. can we pls get some more excitement in the premier league? 
. That high-intensity pressing game really paid off for the Clarets. Liverpool's attack was looking so sharp, but somehow couldn't quite finish it off 
️.
. Now they'll be hoping to get those dropped points back and keep pushing for that top spot 
. Burnley's move up the table is definitely a bit of an upset, but you can't deny their spirit 
.
.
! I'm watching the match and it's like they're trying to drown out my own commentary 
. The manager's right, though - Burnley were quick and caught us off guard 
...
. Slot's right, though - you can't blame the team for droppin' points when they had so many chances... it's just like when I leave the fridge open and all my snacks are still good to go... guess what? They're not! 
. I mean, we had some amazing chances but just couldn't finish them off 
. Those strikers for Burnley were ruthless 
, they caught us out with their high-intensity pressing game. We need to step up our game if we want to win those crucial points 
. This draw is a big blow to our title hopes 
...
they r all over liverpool on counter attacks tho thats a good point for burnley tho they must hv been practicin their pressin game 4eva 
still dont no how liverpool cldnt score tho 
. What really gets me is how Slot kept going on about how they couldn't finish their chances... I mean, come on, Arne! You can't win 'em all, but at least try to draw a lesson from the game? 
Anyway, it's still Liverpool FC we're talking about – three points are still worth three points in my book 
️
. Still, you can't blame 'em for trying, and I guess a draw is better than nothing... but third place in the league table? It feels like there's still so much work to be done 
! i was expecting a comfy win for liverpool, but they just couldn't finish it off. that ashley barnes fella is like a one-man wrecking crew 
. burnley played some really clever football, caught liverpool off guard with their high-intensity pressing. gotta give 'em credit for that 
. anyway, it's still a decent point for liverpool, but they should've taken the win 
. Still, it's a draw and they're still looking strong for a top 3 spot 
. And don't even get me started on their pressing game. Burnley outpressed them 3-1 in the possession stats! 
It's not like they got thrashed or anything. I think Liverpool should be proud of themselves for even getting to 1-1 in the first place 
after this draw 
.
ashley barnes and chris wood are straight fire 
It's not rocket science, is it? And Burnley, wow, they're just so... relentless. Like, I get it, high-intensity pressing can be tough to deal with. But shouldn't teams have some sort of game plan for that? 
why u no finish them chances?
