We came to a tough place tonight, which we knew and we didn't really give ourselves a chance. The ingredients you need coming here, the real basics of the game, we fell way short. It surprised me. Tonight we were way short. I didn't see this performance coming, certainly where we've come from in terms of performances and the results we picked up.
Arne Slot had made his wishes clear before kick-off. We want to do better in making more chances from all the ball possession we have. I am waiting for the moment it really clicks, he had said. Thirty two shots on goal with 11 on target would suggest Liverpool obliged against Burnley, but Anfield still waits for Slot's side to click.
I thought we should be getting better results, but if you look at the bigger picture, you think, What were your resources? Dyche even had a pub named after him in Burnley (Image credit: Getty) Look at the squad. I knew some of the players were just going over the edge and we should have refreshed two years earlier. The owner was trying to sell the club though, so there was no investment in players.
