Liverpool 1-1 Burnley - the fans' verdict

Gone is the intensity that has been Liverpool's hallmark in recent years. At one point at 1-0, Dominik Szoboszlai decided not to launch a counter-attack and that sums up this Arne Slot team - devoid of killer instinct and risk averse. This is not the Liverpool we know.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Burnley.

Here are some of your comments:

Liverpool fans

Ken: Incredibly frustrating result after an increasingly tepid performance. Gone is the intensity that has been Liverpool's hallmark in recent years. At one point at 1-0, Dominik Szoboszlai decided not to launch a counter-attack and that sums up this Arne Slot team - devoid of killer instinct and risk averse.

Grant: At this point, the opposition doesn't matter. We have coach who is not aligned with this team, a captain who shows no leadership on the pitch and players who don't take any responsibility. This is not the Liverpool we know.

TJ: The longer the game went on, the more predictable and less adventurous we became. There were far too many slow, square passes, and when we did finally try to penetrate Burnley's 'low block', the receiving player invariably had their back to the goal, rather than on the half-turn. Consequently, it's a catalogue of attempted flicks that rarely create scoring opportunities. It's hardly 'edge of your seat' stuff. Come on, Liverpool. Entertain us...

Satnam: This is a team that plays the Slot way. It's dire, drab and dull. He won us a league and forever will be remembered for that, but he does not have a clue how to get us out of the current situation. Results over the 2025 calendar year and start of 2026 have not been good enough on the whole.

Burnley fans

Alex: A draw is probably not enough, but we showed fight and that counts for a lot to the fans. Running their backsides off, throwing their bodies at shots - that's what we want to see!

Neil: Superb. Full of fight and endeavour. If we are going down, this is the way to do it.

Paul: Defended well. Yet another soft penalty, but fortunate that he missed. Showed a bit of spirit in the second half. We have proved we can be dangerous and are a better team than our position suggests. It's just a very tough league to win matches in.

KC: Tenacious... kept Liverpool at bay.
