Liverpool boss Arne Slot said it was understandable that fans booed at the final whistle of his side's 1-1 draw with Tottenham, with Anfield expressing its clear disappointment at more dropped points.

Dominik Szoboszlai had opened the scoring in the first half but Liverpool never pushed on from that point and allowed the contest to drift. Richarlison's leveler late on felt like it was coming from a long way off.

"I think it's understandable for fans to be frustrated because it has happened so many times that they have seen the home team not picking up the points they are expecting, us conceding goals in the last minute," Slot said.

"Now it is up to us to bring that frustration to Wednesday and come up with a big performance because we are all frustrated. That is completely clear.

"It is now up to me and the players to take that frustration to Wednesday evening and show the fans the performance and the result they deserve because they have been supportive throughout the whole season to us.

"If it happens so many times that they are frustrated, in the end of the game or after the final whistle, that makes complete sense to me."

Liverpool will look to come from a goal down against Galatasaray in the Champions League midweek, with the Reds struggling to find consistent form in any competition at the moment.

Expanding on the booing while speaking to Sky Sports, Slot admitted that he felt the frustration from the home crowd.

"I think it is completely normal," he said. "If the team you are supporting drops so many points against teams you don't expect them to so many times in the last seconds of a game then I think we all feel a lot of frustration.

""They have experienced this far too many times, more times than they are used to and that is completely normal that they show their frustration. The frustration is felt by me, by the players and also by our fans.

"I'm 100 per cent sure that if they show up on Wednesday [against Galatasaray in the Champions League] that they will be supportive again from the start.

"But if the team doesn't perform to the standards that they are used to, I think it is completely normal that they are frustrated."

After taking on Galatasaray in Europe on Wednesday, Liverpool will travel to Brighton next weekend. After that, it will have to wait for another three weeks to play a league game, with a trip to Manchester City in the FA Cup coming up after the internationals.
