Milos Kerkez has addressed the hostile reception following the full-time whistle after the Reds dropped points at home against Burnely.

Liverpool began brightly at Anfield and should have taken an early lead after Cody Gakpo won a penalty, only for Dominik Szoboszlai to strike the crossbar from the spot. Florian Wirtz eventually broke the deadlock shortly before half-time, but the hosts failed to build on that advantage after the restart.

Sluggish, short on ideas and visibly low on confidence, it proved to be a flat second-half display that Burnley were able to exploit. The match ended 1-1, a result that just kept Liverpool in the top four ahead of Manchester United.

Despite the Reds extending their unbeaten run to 12 games, four successive league draws have stalled momentum, and frustration is now clearly being voiced by supporters inside the stadium with a smattering of boos ringing out around Anfield once Andy Madley had blown for full-time.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday evening, Kerkez posted a brief three-word message. He wrote “We stay together!”, accompanied by a clapping emoji.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admitted he understands and shares the frustration felt by the home supporters. "Yes, in my head it wasn't a boo, but in my head it was frustration as well," Slot said during his post-match press conference. "We are Liverpool and we play against Burnley.

"We have to give them credit [for] how they defended, cleared balls off the line, all the things you want to see if you are a Burnley manager, players that try to do everything to prevent us from scoring.

"But if we, as Liverpool, are not disappointed anymore by having a draw at home against Burnley, then something is completely wrong. I completely understand the frustration. I can tell you I have the same and the players definitely have the same frustration as the fans have."

Liverpool largely controlled the match but were unable to find a second goal, leaving the door open for Burnley to mount a comeback.

"I think there was one big warning sign when we almost scored an own goal and that chance, and the goal we conceded, came from similar situations where we wanted to try to bring the ball out from the back and we were caught in possession," Slot said.

"Twice that led to a dangerous situation and I think those were the only moments where we struggled, but that was inside five minutes so it felt like, ‘We are having a more difficult spell in the game.’"
